Story One Hundred and One · Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio

The Little Topknot

A line drawing in the manner of a late-Qing lithographed edition: at night in a village graveyard, four peasants with a pitchfork, staves and a hoe leap up and strike at tiny foot-high men pouring out of a hole in an old collapsed grave mound, sparks flying where a staff hits the ground, while the little men tumble and scatter through the grass past a stone sheep and tablet, with cypresses, a distant moon and thatched roofs behind.
