The Imperial Metaphor pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
A basic fact of Chinese social life and history is the institution of territorial cults and their festivals. They are highpoints of social life. They portray and punctuate a sense of life and death and present a whole picture of Chinese political relations as seen at their popular roots. The images of demons and ghosts and those of protectors against them which festivals and their temples display, are an organisation of Chinese local identification and provide an insight into everyday life and belief in China. It has come to be expected that religions can be named like identities of nations and cultures, or at least knowable doctrines, but Chinese popular religion has no name. It is not a religion of a book, nor is it the named religion of China - Daoism. The popular religion includes some elements of both Buddhism and the imperial cults, more of Daoism, but it is identifiable with none of them.
It is a religion of the common people, but not 'of the people' in the sense of a national population's mass culture. It is popular in the sense of being local and true of the China of the Han, or Chinese-speaking people, where every place had or has its local cults and the festivals peculiar to them. The custom of local festivals and temples is not as well known as that of ancestor worship and clan and lineage, but Stephan Feuchtwang shows that it is as distinctive an institution. The Imperial Metaphor will be of great interest to anthropologists, historians, students of religious studies, and Chinese and China Studies, as well as the general reader.

断断续续好几天,睡前把这本书大致都翻了一遍。人类学宗教学写得很学术也不是我的强项,因而很难深入理解;后来学业繁忙,不知不觉就到了图书馆的归还日期 于是还了。 里面关于地方宗教仪式与帝国架构的关系的确很有趣,作者力求通过对中国农村习俗的田野研究,向外国人介绍整...
评分虽然这不是一个新问题了,但是经常在读不懂原文和更读不懂翻译之间挣扎。 最近连续读了几个原文+译文,发现其实很多译者在术语上都已经尽力了。反而是一些英文的习惯说法或者语序颠倒的问题上翻译错误造成了整个一段甚至一章都令人困惑。 举个例子,原文第九页说到but far from...
评分,,书我的是推荐的,但是请有能力的同学读原文吧,因为花的时间和你读译本的时间估计差不多。本来以为就我自己读不懂,还捶胸顿足的感慨了几天,后来一看,豆友们都读不懂,建议大家读原文,哎。听过一个搞翻译的老师说过这种情况,说那不是译者外语不好,是他中文不好,我想...
评分在中国历史的宏大叙事话语中,民间社会被湮没在大一统的政治幻象里,仿佛在推行中央集权的古典专制时代,它完全被自上而下的建构,不存在任何自发形成的可能性。这种对于历史的误读来自历史书写自身的局限。清末,梁启超就提出二十四史本质上是帝王的家谱写作,认为历史视角永...
