What's the difference between eastern and western ghosts?

Writing a paper? If so, honestly look for oriental monsters and western monsters respectively. Sort it out by yourself ... well, it's quite troublesome and the project is very big.

If the landlord is just on a whim, let me talk about some of my own views.

The most famous ghosts in the west are vampires and dragons.

Ghosts-like walk-ons-are used in various film and television works and literature. In the west, there are obvious differences between ghosts and monsters, so it is not appropriate to use the word ghost. And it is relative to the "gods". Early western literature, whether ghosts or monsters, is generally the embodiment of "evil". God is the embodiment of justice. It is typical for a soldier to kill a dragon.

In the east-ghosts, monsters, gods. These three are often interrelated. If you have read Search for God and Liaozhai, you will find that it is often mentioned that some people will be regarded as gods after death, and the appearance of some monsters is a sign of national affairs. It is not difficult to see that in the traditional concept of the East, ghosts do not necessarily represent "evil", and many times the appearance of ghosts is a kind of "fate". Buddhism says "cause and effect".
