During the late imperial era (1500-1911), China, though divided by ethnic, linguistic, and regional differences at least as great as those prevailing in Europe, enjoyed a remarkable solidarity. What held Chinese society together for so many centuries? Some scholars have pointed to the institutional control over the written word as instrumental in promoting cultural homogenization; others, the manipulation of the performing arts. This volume, comprised of essays by both anthropologists and historians, furthers this important discussion by examining the role of death rituals in the unification of Chinese culture.

兩位編者華琛和羅友枝之間的“根本分歧”(禮是practice高於belief,還是以practice建立belief)其實未必是人類學傢和曆史學傢的分歧,也未必真的是個分歧。
評分清明前看完也算應景,導論兩章引用最多,食物那章也不錯,最感興趣是最後一章殯儀改革,不過小失望。大部分章節看起來應該很有趣,不過變成瞭材料梳理,例如毛的遺體處理、儀式專傢那兩章。讓我驚訝的是材料我都好陌生,變遷太快瞭……
