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.
