Chinese practices related to ancestors have long been the subject
of conflicting interpretations. These practices are rooted in the
lived experience of practitioners, and therefore need to be
considered as embodied expressions of the quest for existential
meaning. For practitioners, the achievement of existential meaning
requires the inclusion, implication, and mediation of the
ancestors. When gestures in ancestor rites are analyzed from this
perspective it is possible to appreciate their essence as
constitutive of "ancestor religion." This book uses an inquisitive
method that investigates the discrepancies between foreign and
local explanations, and proposes another hermeneutic framework for
ancestor related praxes.
