Buchbeschreibung xi + 364pp, index, glossary, appendix, footnotes, hardback, dustjacket, foxing edges, spine slightly sunned, prior owner's signature front free endpaper, good hardback copy in dustjacket. A collection of 11 essays. "These careful case studies examine many facets of late imperial society to create a complex picture of Chinese life. Among other things, they provide a look at the official worship system, mid-Ch'ing scholarly academies, the special status of tenant/servants, and the lineage feuds that were rampant on the southeast coast. The authors bring out the cultural significance of state and family rituals. They depict worried patriarchs composing instructions for the guidance of their children and country magistrates prescribing punishments according to the ritual status of the culprit. A debate between two viewpoints develops: was orthodoxy a 'mode of statecraft' or was it one of the ultimate concerns of not only the Confucian schools but mainstream Taoism and Buddhism as well?"
