很惶恐的发现之前这本书的几个书评全部被删了,书的评分也没有了,标记的在看记录也没有了,可能是因为现在这个敏感时候吧!不过敏感的时候似乎越来越多! 总的来说这本书论述清晰,例子也比较有代表性,虽然有些观点不赞同,如湾湾通过ZJ,完成民主。看后会陷入深深的沮丧之中...

China is in the midst of one of the world’s great spiritual awakenings: some 300 million Chinese currently practice a faith, while tens of millions more follow personal gurus, populist masters and New Age sages. This astonishing revival began in 1982 when the Communist Party pledged to allow what it thought would be a small-scale practice of religion under government supervision. But the faithful have expanded far beyond the Party’s expectations: Today, China’s cities and villages are filled with new temples, churches, and mosques as well as cults, sects and politicians trying to harness religion for their own ends. Fueling this resurgence is a popular desire to rediscover a moral compass in a society driven by naked capitalism.
For six years, Pulitzer Prize–winning writer Ian Johnson lived for extended periods with three religious communities: the underground Early Rain Protestant congregation in Chengdu, the Ni family’s Buddhist pilgrimage association in Beijing, and yinyang Daoist priests in rural Shanxi. Johnson distills these experiences into a cycle of festivals, births, deaths, detentions, and struggle that reveals the hearts and minds of the Chinese people—a great awakening of faith that is shaping the soul of the world’s newest superpower.
对20-21世纪中国religion/state历史有一个很有意思、细致入微的记录,虽然有其bias以及忽略的细节。喜欢它的文笔和架构。
评分深度報導上乘之作,字裏行間敏銳與同情兼具。國家忽而出手忽而利用,宗教作為無法根除的人性天然渴望和推動公民社會的思想與組織資源,在陰晴不定的時局下展現出堪比Great Awakening的復興。多處細節令人嘆惋,尤其心知過兩年就寫不出這樣的文字了。遺憾在於著眼點和一手材料:穆斯林、天主教徒缺席,對制度化宗教近乎全然規避,從頭到尾一群散兵游勇——或許是不得已的微觀史。
评分之前的条目又被删了,天天玩猫和老鼠的游戏,真累。
评分断了的传统能接续吗?在经济发展以后,精神生活的空虚需要填补,随之而来的传统文(zong )化(jiao )的复苏,外来精(zong )神(jiao)寄托的迅速发展,而这些发展中官方限制外来的发展,扶持本土儒释道的发展。虽然我觉得作者有点观点有待商榷,但是能有本描绘当下中国人精神世界的书籍也是不错的。
评分开头结尾引的都是同一句尚书,而作者对宗教在中国文化里的必需性和政治性的理解其实也都在这句话里了,全书都非常像那一段,“人心惊疑,如居风涛,汹汹靡定,上自朝列,下达蒸黎,日夕放党聚谋,咸忧必有变故。” (确实是个好写手,很细腻也懂递进,说作者写陕西李家有点像刘震云也是夸奖,当然全书最煽情自然是那一句,she doesn't need to participate, she's got faith!)
