Great Perfection - Religion and Ethnicity in a Chinese Millennial Kingdom (Hardcover, New)

Great Perfection tells the story of the Ba of Sichuan and of the Li family in particular. Engaging the most recent scholarship in Western, Chinese, and Japanese languages (including archaeological and ethnic publications), the study begins in the mists of prehistory, traces the early history, of the Ba, chronicles the rise of the Daoist faith and their role in it, then sets forth in detail a chronicle of the state of Great Perfection -- the kingdom they built in an attempt to realize the Daoist utopia.
