This volume examines the values that have historically guided the
negotiation of identity, both practical and ideal, in Chinese
Confucian culture, considers how these values play into the
conception and exercise of authority, and assesses their
contemporary relevance in a rapidly globalizing world. Included are
essays that explore the rule of ritual in classical Confucian
political discourse; parental authority in early medieval tales;
authority in writings on women; authority in the great and
long-beloved folk novel of China Journey to the West; and the
anti-Confucianism of Lu Xun, the twentieth-century writer and
reformer. By examining authority in cultural context, these essays
shed considerable light on the continuities and contentions
underlying the vibrancy of Chinese culture.
