This book is the first major reassessment of ancient Chinese
religion to appear in recent years. It provides a historical
investigation of broadly shared religious beliefs and goals in
ancient China from the earliest period to the end of the Han
Dynasty. The author makes use of recently acquired archeological
data, traditional texts, and modern scholarly work from China,
Japan, and the West. The overall concern of this book is to try to
reach the religious mentality of the ancient Chinese in the context
of personal and daily experiences. Poo deals with such problems as
the definition of religion, the popular/elite controversy in
methodology, and the use of "elite" documents in the study of
ordinary life.
