Abstract
Recent scholarship on the ritual and religious killing of human beings in medieval China is reviewed here in the light of new textual evidence. The sources recommending human sacrifice in military contexts are noted, and the role of deliberate slander of Daoists by Buddhists in cases of supposed imperial cannibalism is further explored.
