Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive and nuanced examination of the religious system of China, as it was practiced in the late nineteenth century. The author, a dedicated scholar who spent years immersed in Chinese culture, details a vast array of rituals, customs, and beliefs that shape social life, from death rites to ancestral worship and beyond. He presents a rich and detailed picture of Chinese religious practices as they existed in the late Qing Dynasty, meticulously tracing their evolution over centuries. He illuminates how these customs and beliefs connect to ancient texts, philosophy, and even the structures of Chinese society. The book goes far beyond a simple cataloging of traditions, offering insights into the profound influence of religion on every aspect of Chinese life. By exploring the origins and complexities of Chinese beliefs and customs, the author provides a fascinating window into a culture that is both ancient and deeply rooted in its traditions.
