内容简介

An impressively comprehensive review of Chinese religions. Neither scholars from China nor the West have been able to accomplish such a comprehensive review of Chinese religions as this. No other book offers such a detailed, sustained analysis and functional interpretation of critical facts in order to reveal a pattern of relationship between religion and Chinese social life and organization. Yang's work focuses on the religious systems that have become firmly integrated parts of the Chinese culture, including Buddhism, Taoism, and the numerous cults of the classical religion. His study is primarily concerned with the recent periods of Ch'ing and the Republic--especially the nineteenth and the twentieth centuries--but because the roots of Chinese cultural traits extend deep into the past, historical data and discussion are included when clarification is necessary. Because the concept and structure of all major Chinese social institutions contained religious elements, this much-cited classic will be valuable to any reader who really wants to understand China.

    在传统中国普化宗教的影响下,实际上并无绝对的无信仰者存在,从而揭示一般所谓“无信仰者”只能说是在形式上未信奉某一制度化的宗教而已,而很难说完全免除了中国文化所孕育的一套对宇宙存在的理念,所以无论如何现代化的“中国人”只要是在中国文化教养下成长,他将或多或少带有中国传统宗教信仰的特质,而并非绝对无信仰者。12-19
