Shin-Yi Chao

Daoist Ritual, State Religion, and Popular Practices (eBook, ePUB)

Zhenwu Worship from Song to Ming (960-1644)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book focuses on one of the few Chinese deities that can rightfully claim a countrywide devotion, Zhenwu or the Perfected Warrior. Investigating the complicated means by which various social and political groups contested with each other in appropriating cultural-religious symbols, it shows how, in a given historical context, human agents and social institutions shape the religious world.
