Fox Spirits and Officials -- Conclusion -- Notes -- Glossary -- Bibliography -- IndexFor more than five centuries the shamanistic fox cult has attracted large portions of the Chinese population and appealed to a wide range of social classes. Deemed illicit by imperial rulers and clerics and officially banned by republican and communist leaders, the fox cult has managed to survive and flourish in individual homes and community shrines throughout northern China. In this new work, the first to examine the fox cult as a vibrant popular religion, Xiaofei Kang explores the manifold meanings of the fox spirit in Chinese society. Kang describes various cult practices, activities of worship, and the exorcising of fox spirits to reveal how the Chinese people constructed their cultural and social values outside the gaze of offical power and morality.CultsChinaFoxesChinaReligious aspectsElectronic books.CultsFoxesReligious aspects.299.5/11212Kang Xiaofei1040234MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454883403321The cult of the fox2462932UNINA01657nam 2200397 n 450 99639251820331620200824121738.0(CKB)4940000000114330(EEBO)2240936818(UnM)ocm99893240e(UnM)99893240(EXLCZ)99494000000011433020781208d1710 uh engurbn||||a|bb|Middlesex.
