Historians and Asian studies scholars explore beliefs and practices regarding death in Korea through the ages. In sections on the body, disposal, ancestor worship and rites, and afterlife, they consider such aspects as the Buddhist legacy of death and burial in medieval Korea, ways of burial in Koryo times, reading the national cemetery of South Korea, shamanic rites for the dead in Choson Korea, the creation of an intimate afterlife in early Choson Korea, and Buddhism and death in Kin Man-jung's A Nine Cloud Dream.
