Summary:"The Aura of Confucius: Relics and Representations of the Sage at the Kongzhai Shrine in Shanghai adds an art-historical perspective to recent scholarship that challenges the conventional image of Confucius (Kongzi) as a secular paragon of learning, and of Confucianism as simply a philosophy of ethical humanism and governmental ideology. The book explores material and visual forms that have embodied ideas about Confucius and his teachings, in his hometown of Qufu (Shandong), in imperial China's ubiquitous official temples and private academies, and in a shrine called Kongzhai ("Kong Residence") on the outskirts of modern Shanghai. At Kongzhai, a place that Confucius himself never visited, a 34th-generation descendant allegedly buried the master's robe, cap, and jade ornaments over 1000 years after his death. Centuries later, these unseen relics inspired the construction of a ritual complex that acquired multiple representations of the Sage, attracting Ming and Qing scholarly pilgrims who came to offer sacrifices and experience his beneficent aura. Centered on the Tomb of the Robe and Cap and a sacrificial hall with sculptural icons (abolished from official temples in the 1530 ritual reform), Kongzhai was periodically repaired and occasionally expanded or modified to serve new functions. Ambitious officials and local literati used their patronage and interactions with Kongzhai to enhance their own prestige and to promote the surrounding area. Kongzhai was honored by the Kangxi emperor in 1705 and celebrated in the 19th century as the foremost "famous place" in its locality, Qingpu County. However, Kongzhai's fortunes declined with modernization, particularly after Confucian ritualism became delegitimized with the fall of the Qing dynasty. Implausible legends and reactionary associations eventually made Kongzhai a target of Maoist campaigns against feudalism, superstition, and despised social classes, and it was destroyed in the Cultural Revolution. Unlike many other ruined sites of traditional culture, it has not been reconstructed, and its history has been largely expunged from official memory. Drawing on more than 25 years of research, The Aura of Confucius: Relics and Representations of the Sage at the Kongzhai Shrine in Shanghai identifies personal items and sites of specific events that functioned as relics of Confucius, and examines his representation in sculptural icons, portraits, and pictorial biographies. Their deployment at Kongzhai shows how Confucian concepts and representations of Confucius himself could be used to create a ritual center, revealing connections with modes of veneration more often associated with Buddhism, Daoism, and popular cults. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, the book also analyzes the chronology of Kongzhai's physical configurations against its rhetorical construction as a "special place" and situates its rise and fall within the social, political, economic, and cultural conditions of the 12th through 20th centuries. The successive phases of Kongzhai's development and its eventual eradication from landscape and memory also illuminate the multivalent influence of Confucius's descendants on his veneration and point to some contradictions within the contemporary Confucian revival"-- Provided by publisher.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Aura of Confucius is a ground-breaking study that reconstructs the remarkable history of Kongzhai, a shrine founded on the belief that Confucius' descendants buried the sage's robe and cap a millennium after his death and far from his home in Qufu, Shandong. Improbably located on the outskirts of modern Shanghai, Kongzhai featured architecture, visual images, and physical artifacts that created a 'Little Queli,' a surrogate for the temple, cemetery, and Kong descendants' mansion in Qufu. Centered on the Tomb of the Robe and Cap, with a Sage Hall noteworthy for displaying sculptural icons and not just inscribed tablets, Kongzhai attracted scholarly pilgrims who came to experience Confucius's beneficent aura. Although Kongzhai gained recognition from the Kangxi emperor, its fortunes declined with modernization, and it was finally destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. Unlike other sites, Kongzhai has not been rebuilt and its history is officially forgotten, despite the Confucian revival in contemporary China.
