It focuses on three main aspects of mourning of the dead before burial — lamentation, mourners’ gestures and behaviors, and mourning apparel—to demonstrate the cultural function, purpose, and social influence of mourning. A key comparative study of rituals at the heart of both Western and Chinese culture, this text highlights the cultural function and social influence of rituals of two ancient peoples and will be of interest to all scholars of comparative religion, sociology and anthropology.Religion—HistoryEthnologyEthnology—AsiaHistory of Religionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A7000Social Anthropologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12030Asian Culturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411040Religion—History.Ethnology.Ethnology—Asia.History of Religion.Social Anthropology.Asian Culture.200.09Wu Xiaoqunauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut930616BOOK9910349476503321Mourning Rituals in Archaic & Classical Greece and Pre-Qin China2093305UNINA
