Description

Explore the profound shifts in Chinese literary thought and cultural identity through this scholarly volume from Routledge. This work examines the massive changes in attitudes toward the world and the self found in the writings of Chinese authors during the early centuries of the Christian era. By comparing the rise of Buddhism and Daoism to the spread of Christianity in the West, this book investigates how new religious movements replaced ancient imperial traditions. It offers a deep look at whether these religious shifts represent similar patterns of development on the eastern and western edges of the Old World. This text is an essential resource for those studying the transformation of Chinese literature and the religious landscape of the transition from antiquity to the Middle Ages.
