商品簡介
Scholars of Chinese religion and history, most from the US, France, or Taiwan, draw from archaeology, philosophy, divination, sacrifice, mythology, and other disciplines to explore religion, broadly defined, as it shaped and was shaped by the slow emergence of what is now China. In chronological sections, the essays discuss such topics as Shang state religion and the pantheon of the oracle texts, Chinese history writing between the sacred and the secular, ritual practices for constructing terrestrial space in Warring States and early Han periods, learning and authority in Qin and Han, and latter Han religious mass movements and the early Daoist church. They were presented at a December 2006 conference, probably in Paris, during one stage of the research project. The two volumes are paged and indexed together. Both the physical book and the scholarship are of the high quality scholars have come to expect from Brill. Annotation c2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
