Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the religion of the Chinese people, its history, and its beliefs. It is an academic study based on first-hand research and is especially valuable as it uses writings that originate from the Chinese people themselves. These original writings are used to describe how the religion has developed through time from animism to its current form. The author divides the Chinese religion into three strands: universalistic animism, polydemonism, and the struggle against specters. The author emphasizes that this struggle against evil spirits is the core of Chinese religion and is reflected in Chinese philosophy, literature, and daily life. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in Chinese history or religion.
