The book bocuses on the splendid and very popular, yet hitherto unidentified Chinese castiron statue of a squatting, monkeylike demon, found in the Musem für Ostasiatische Kunst in Berlin. It demonstrates that most likely the statue was cast in 1101, in a group of at least four identical exemplars, and that it represents the figure of Wuzhiqi, the spirit of the rivers Huai and Guo (which join forces in the north of Anhui province). The earliest extensive account of the legend of Wuzhiqi, the literary language tale by Li Gongzuo (c. 770-c. 848), is translated in full, with text-critical notes and a reproduction of the Chinese text. Based on a vast array of further primary sources, including local histories and inscriptions on stones dating from the Ming through the Qing dynasties - as well as on his field-work in the region - the author goes on to explore the cult of this demon and to show its relation to the mythology of the Great Yu, the legendary controller of the flood and founder of Chinese statehood. He demonstrates that the statue of Wuzhiqi is associated with the Taoist ritual dances reffered to as the Paces of Yu, and that it belongs in the context of objects cast from metal - such as iron-pagodas and iron statues of animal spirits thought to be capable of controlling the waters - that for centuries have been placed on the banks of rivers throughout China. The book is richly illustrated with photos from the region taken by the author, as well as with reproductions of objects of art and drawings found in ancient texts.

这本书着重讲述了柏林奥斯塔西亚蒂斯库斯特博物馆发现的一尊华丽而非常受欢迎的、至今仍未确定的中国铁制雕像，它是一个蹲着的猴子般的恶魔。它表明，这座雕像最有可能是在1101年铸造的，至少有四个相同的样本，它代表了五枝七的形象，即淮河和郭河(在安徽省北部汇合)的精神。李公作(约公元770-c.)的文学语言故事--《乌支齐》传说中最早的广泛记载。(848)，全文翻译，附有批判性说明和中文本复制品。基于大量的原始资料，包括从明代到清代的地方史和石刻-以及他在该地区的田野工作-作者继续探索对这个恶魔的崇拜，并展示它与大禹神话的关系。大禹是传说中的洪水控制者和中国国家的奠基人。他证明，五指旗雕像与道教仪式舞蹈有关，被称为于步伐，它属于金属铸造物品的背景--比如被认为能够控制水域的铁塔和动物精神铁像--几个世纪以来，这些物品一直被放置在中国全境的河岸上。这本书用作者拍摄的该地区的照片以及古代文本中发现的艺术品和绘画的复制品进行了丰富的插图。
