Exorcism and Money: The Symbolic World of the Five-Fury Spirits in Late Imperial China (China Research Monograph)

Soft cover. Zustand: New. xii, 227 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm. This study analyzes the identities of the five-fury spirits in light of the cult's historical linkages with local society in southern Anhui and with other religious traditions in a larger context. These two contexts interacted in complex ways to generate, around the time of the mid-Ming, a localized religious order. Guo explores not only how history transformed the symbolic order, but also how history itself was symbolically ordered and reordered in the process. Artikel-Nr. PGIEAS48
