内容简介
······
Society and the Supernatural in Song China is at once a meticulous examination of spirit-possession and exorcism in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and a social history of the full panoply of China's religious practices and practitioners at the moment when she was poised to dominate the world economy. Although the Song dynasty (960-1276) is often identified with the establishment of Confucian orthodoxy, Edward Davis demonstrates the renewed vitality of the dynasty's Taoist, Buddhist, and local religious traditions.

评论 ······
再读一过；原先知识欠缺的地方现在读起来要轻松不少，可惜作者的行文确实不吸引人。
请神附体、童乩、斋醮。以《夷坚志》返回宋代，看当时的道教仪式与民间信仰、宗教医疗的纠葛。【supernatural-神异】
观点独特，有启发性。从《夷坚志》选出的故事非常典型且有说服力，有力地证明了作者的论点。但是故事翻成英文时有很多细节上的错误，不知道是由于大意疏忽，还是古文水平有限。
拨乱反正有些过了。太强调道教对宋代人的精神世界的影响，反而理不清理学和民间信仰之间的关系。
