内容简介
······

In recent years, there has been an astonishing revival of religious practices in China. Looking beyond numerical counts of religious practitioners, temples and churches, anthropologist Adam Yuet Chau's vivid study explores how religion is embedded in contemporary Chinese lives and society, from personal devotion to community-wide festivals.

Covering Buddhism, Daoism and folk religion, as well as Christianity and Islam, this ethnographically rich book provides insights into the contemporary relevance of religious traditions in Chinese societies. By considering the ways in which Chinese people ‘do’ religion, Chau reveals how religious practice plays a critical role in establishing and maintaining a wide range of relationships: between people, spirits, and places; ritual service providers and their customers; the state and religious groups. He argues that relationality is the key anchor of religious lifeworlds, and this insight demands an entirely new way of approaching religion everywhere.

This lively account will appeal to those studying or curious about Chinese or East Asian religions, and serve as a perfect gateway to understanding religious practices in China today.

Adam Chau处处立论，似乎是想用人类学打开局面，创造理论框架，这件事最近David Palmer也在做，但两人观点确实有龃龉之处。似乎杨德睿老师也有意在理论层面上下功夫，他和Chau也许可以兼容。从道教研究出来发（甚至是民间宗教研究出发）来打造新范式让人惊喜，希望有一天中国宗教的人类学研究不再屈居陪衬地位，不再成天挪用既有的人类学研究成果。ps. 人类学路子早被研究中国宗教的历史学家认可了，…
