Description

Explore the complex religious landscape of Southwestern China with Masters of Psalmody (bimo). In this scholarly work, Aurelie Nevot examines the unique scriptural shamanism practiced by the Yi-Sani people. This study provides a deep look into the metaphysics of bimo shamans and their specific text-based ritual systems. A central focus of this research is the secret writing used in these traditions, which is now under the control of the Chinese State. By analyzing these rituals and texts, the book offers a detailed perspective on how religious practices interact with state authority and cultural preservation. This volume is a significant addition to the Religion in Chinese Societies series, providing essential knowledge for those interested in the intersection of ritual, text, and shamanism in Chinese ethnic communities.
