有財餓鬼 [you cai e gui]—Pretas with Possessions — According to the Treatise on the Meaning of the Three Realms (三界義說 [san jie yi shuo]), there are three distinguished categories (異類 [yi lei]) of Pretas (餓鬼 [e gui]):
1. Pretas Without Possessions (無財餓鬼 [wu cai e gui]), who ultimately cannot eat at all.
2. Pretas with Little Possessions (小財餓鬼 [xiao cai e gui]), who eat pus, blood, and so forth.
3. Pretas with Many Possessions (多財餓鬼 [duo cai e gui]), who can obtain food left by humans and sacrificial offerings.
The latter two are referred to as Pretas with Possessions.
有財餓鬼—【異類】餓鬼有三種：一無財餓鬼，畢竟不能食者。二小財餓鬼，食膿血等者。三多財餓鬼，能得人遺落之食及祭饗之食者。三界義說之。指後二者為有財餓鬼。

Its texts are mainly in Classical Chinese, based on translations from Sanskrit. Major schools include Chan (Zen), Pure Land, Tiantai, and Huayan.
