| Summary |
"Confucianism and Sacred Space uses the site of the Confucius temple to explore Confucianism both as one of China's "three religions" (with Buddhism and Daoism) and as a cultural phenomenon, from the imperial era and to its secular garb under the Communists. This translation draws on Chin-shing Huang's two monographs and numerous published articles to provide a holistic picture of his decades-long research into Confucius temples. An introduction gives a historical overview and pulls the pieces together"-- Provided by publisher. |
