Description

Explore the complex religious landscape of modern China with this academic study from the Routledge Contemporary China Series. Before the twentieth century, China possessed one of the most diverse religious cultures globally. This book examines how radical anti-traditionalist policies from both Republican and Communist regimes created significant challenges for these ancient traditions. Rather than viewing these shifts as purely destructive, the text explores how these historical conditions provided new avenues for re-generation and innovation. You will learn how recent economic reforms and the relaxation of religious policies have created fertile ground for the revitalization of many traditions. This work is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in the socio-historical factors shaping religious life in China today.
