In Confucian Rituals and Chinese Villagers, Yonghua Liu presents a
detailed study of how a southeastern Chinese community experienced
and responded to the process whereby Confucian rituals - previously
thought unfit for practice by commoners - were adopted in the
Chinese countryside and became an integral part of village culture,
from the mid fourteenth to mid twentieth centuries. The book
examines the important but understudied ritual specialists, masters
of rites (lisheng), and their ritual handbooks while showing their
crucial role in the ritual life of Chinese villagers. This
discussion of lisheng and their rituals deepens our understanding
of the ritual aspect of popular Confucianism and sheds new light on
social and cultural transformations in late imperial China.
