The title of the book as written on the cover does not match its contents. The cover indicates a ritual for beseeching blessings that recounts the origins of three kinds of alcohol (used in funerary ceremonies). The contents describe a rite used in the greater aversion of disaster ceremony, but the book has no ending. The cover was likely attached to a separate book that had lost its cover.
English translation of the title: Relating the Origin of Three Kinds of Alcohol, To Invite the Gods of Fortune (cover). English name of the ceremony: Greater Aversion of Disaster (contents).
Chinese translation of the title: 讲述三种醇酒的来历 求福神降临(封面). Chinese name of the ceremony: 大消灾
Title transliteration according to Naxi (Nakhi) pinyin.
