"Chinese Religion" is a new introduction to the field of Chinese
religion and culture. It seeks to guide readers through some of the
primary source material and to introduce them to continuing,
contemporary debates and interpretations of religious ideas,
concepts and practices in China and beyond. Religious beliefs are
never pursued and held in a vacuum; they are an integral part of a
particular culture, interwoven and interactive with other elements
of the culture and tradition. Chinese religion in this sense can be
said to be part of Chinese culture and history. In this clear
account, Xinzhong Yao and Yanxiz Zhao move away from the
traditional and outmoded definition of Chinese religion, the three
institutional doctrines: Confucianism, Daoism and Buddhism, towards
a multi-layered hermeneutic of the syncretic nature and functions
of religions in China. Additional features include questions for
reflection and discussion and suggestions for further reading at
the end of each chapter.
