The first study in English to offer a systematic introduction to the Chinese pantheon of divinities. It challenges received wisdom about Chinese popular religion, which, until now, presented all Chinese deities as mere functionaries and bureaucrats. The essays in this volume eloquently document the existence of other metaphors that allowed Chinese gods to challenge the traditional power structures and traditional mores of Chinese society. The authors draw on a variety of disciplines and methodologies to throw light on various aspects of the Chinese supernatural. The gallery of gods and goddesses surveyed demonstrates that these deities did not reflect China's socio-political order but rather expressed and negotiated tensions within it. In addition to reflecting the existing order, Chinese gods shaped it, transformed it, and compensated for it, and, as such, their work offers fresh perspectives on the relations between divinity and society in China.

评分有趣又有用的书。
评分中国的天的观念并不是对社会秩序正面隐喻,也不是社会阶层的物化。而是,天表达了和交涉了与社会之间的张力。中国的神明不是在某种程度上反映了已有的秩序,他们同时塑造秩序、为这些秩序赎罪、并且改变它。 这系列论文同时考虑了民间神明崇拜的传播。 宗教并不仅仅是社会秩序的折射,也不是所有的宗教都像民间信仰那样与社会变化有着清晰的对话。这些流动性的关键在于缺乏控制宗教阐释的中央机构。许多如在基督教、犹太教或伊斯兰教中阐释性控制的机构是在中国缺乏的。宗教阐释的社会关系在中国那么松散,以至于在中央控制的系统底层有一系列可能性。复杂的仪式或者神明的意思层出不穷。
