Reviews
"Chow has produced a work of superb scholarship, fluently written
and beautifully researched. . . . One of the landmarks of the
current reconstruction of the social philosophy of the Qing
dynasty. . . . Chow's book is indispensable. It has illuminating
analyses of many mainstream writers, institutions, and social
categories in eighteenth-century China which have never previously
been examined."
--Canadian Journal of History
"Chow's monograph moves ritual to center stage in late imperial
social and intellectual history, and the author makes a powerful
case for doing so. . . . Because the author understands the
intellectual history of late Ming and Qing as the history of a
movement, or successive movements, of fundamental social reform, he
has also made an important contribution to social and political
history as these were related to intellectual history."
--Journal of Chinese Religion
"Chow's book is an excellent contribution to recent scholarship on
the intellectual history of the Confucian tradition and provides a
balance for other studies that have emphasized ideas to the
exclusion of symbols."
--The Historian
