During the late imperial era (1500-1911), China, though divided by ethnic, linguistic, and regional differences at least as great as those prevailing in Europe, enjoyed a remarkable solidarity. What held Chinese society together for so many centuries? Some scholars have pointed to the institutional control over the written word as instrumental in promoting cultural homogenization; others, the manipulation of the performing arts. This volume, comprised of essays by both anthropologists and historians, furthers this important discussion by examining the role of death rituals in the unification of Chinese culture.

Some ideas are quite outdated. But how we should interpret rituals is an eternal topic. And there are some interesting explanations about food and gender in Chinese funeral rituals.
评分必备文献。 细读了一遍,内容比想象的少,论证比想象的粗糙。十二篇中,倒有三篇在拿性别说事儿,两篇和政治搅在了一起。 第一部分的两篇很关键,虽则一些论述已经过时,但是人类学和历史学的视角都值得借鉴。孔迈隆的Souls and Salvation最细致,且贴地。 #终于看完了晚上不用怎么做噩梦了
评分一点点(东南的丧葬习俗中真的有rebury这件事么?
评分清明前看完也算应景,导论两章引用最多,食物那章也不错,最感兴趣是最后一章殡仪改革,不过小失望。大部分章节看起来应该很有趣,不过变成了材料梳理,例如毛的遗体处理、仪式专家那两章。让我惊讶的是材料我都好陌生,变迁太快了……
评分一盆冷水
