Hardcover. Condition: New. The first study in English to offer a systematic introduction to the Chinese pantheon of divinities. It challenges received wisdom about Chinese popular religion, which, until now, presented all Chinese deities as mere functionaries and bureaucrats. The essays in this volume eloquently document the existence of other metaphors that allowed Chinese gods to challenge the traditional power structures and traditional mores of Chinese society. The authors draw on a variety of disciplines and methodologies to throw light on various aspects of the Chinese supernatural. The gallery of gods and goddesses surveyed demonstrates that these deities did not reflect China's socio-political order but rather expressed and negotiated tensions within it. In addition to reflecting the existing order, Chinese gods shaped it, transformed it, and compensated for it, and, as such, their work offers fresh perspectives on the relations between divinity and society in China.

First Edition
First edition, 8vo, pp. vii, [3]; 290, [4]; a few text illustrations; full brown cloth, gilt title on spine; fine in fine dust jacket. "What this book wonderfully reveals is the wild, untrammeled variety of Chinese religious myths and symbols, uncontrolled by either church or state. Religion is a field for the projection of human imagination according to the needs, hopes and fears of its participants. In the Chinese case this process is relatively transparent, which makes this study of great value to our understanding of religion elsewhere.".

Super octavo hardcover (VG+) in d/w (VG-): all our specials have minimal description to keep listing them viable. They are at least reading copies, complete and in reasonable condition, but usually secondhand; frequently they are superior examples. Ordering more than one book may reduce your overall postage costs.
