Sommario/riassunto

China today is full of unbridled construction and strong vibrancy. At the same time, there is an increase in political and cultural repression. What, the question arises, is going on? Where stands China today and where is it headed from here? And what, in all of this, is the role and place of Daoism? These sixty vignettes on "Daoist China" present different aspects of life in China, in each case describing the current situation and connecting it to the role and changing facets of Daoism today, focusing in turn on dimensions of governance, economics, and culture.
