内容説明・目次

内容説明

Crazy Ji is one of the most colourful deities in the pantheon of late imperial and modern China. The author uses the evolution of his cult to address central questions regarding Chinese religious tradition, its relation to social structure, and the role of vernacular fiction and popular media in shaping religious beliefs. Shahar demonstrates that vernacular novels and oral literature played a major role in the dissemination of knowledge about deities and the growth of cults and argues that the body of religious beliefs and practices we call "Chinese religion" is inseperable from the works of fiction and drama that have served as vehicles for its transmission.
