The term ?theatre? is used here to refer broadly to various types of live performances?theatrical and non-theatrical; sacred and profane? presented in a religious setting, thus including ritual performance and oral performance. Likewise, literature in this volume broadly encompasses both written and oral literatures, including drama, poetry, hagiography, legend, mythology and prosimetric narrative or chantefable for telling and singing. The contributors to the issue draw on a wide range of materials from historical, philosophical and literary texts to field reports and archaeological finds to archived documents and local gazetteers to personal interviews and participant observations. While all the essays are collected under the theme of ?Religion and Folk Belief in Chinese Literature and Theatre?, they differ from each other in subject matter, source material and research approach. Rich and varied as they are, these essays fall into two main categories, namely, a historical approach to religion and ritual recorded in (written and visual) texts and an integrated approach that combines historical inquiries into written and visual texts with ethnoanthropological fieldwork on religious rituals and associated performances. 606 $aReligion & beliefs$2bicssc 610 $aCheng ? 610 $acheng ? 610 $asincerity 610 $acompletion 610 $areligion 610 $aritual 610 $aClassical Confucianism 610 $aliterature 610 $abaojuan (precious scrolls) 610 $atelling scriptures 610 $ascroll recitation 610 $achinese folklore 610 $apopular religion 610 $abuddhist narrative 610 $aChina 610 $aXiud Yax Lus Qim (Yalu wang) 610 $aMiao (Hmong) ethnic group 610 $aoral performance 610 $aritual practice 610 $asorcery and witchcraft 610 $acollective memory 610 $acultural heritage 610 $astate presence 610 $atemple festival 610 $atemple theatre 610 $aJiacun Double-Fourth Temple Festival 610 $athe Primordial Sovereign of the Morning Clouds (Bixia yuanjun) 610 $aShangdang 610 $aLiaozhai zhiyi 610 $aDaoism 610 $adramas 610 $aSichuan 610 $awillow 610 $aYuan zaju 610 $ashamanism 610 $alegend 610 $ametaphor 610 $aChinese religions 610 $aChinese literature 610 $aMing 610 $aDeng Zhimo 610 $ahagiography 610 $aLü Dongbin 610 $aXu Xun 610 $aSa Shoujian 610 $aprint culture 610 $aPei Yue 610 $apoems 610 $aBuddhism 610 $amonks 610 $asocial association 610 $aMiao culture 610 $aperformance studies 610 $aperformance ethnography 610 $aindigenous studies 610 $afolk traditions 610 $amythology 610 $athe Queen Mother of the West (Xiwangmu) 610 $aHan rhapsody (fu) 610 $aHan paintings 610 $aHantomb stone reliefs 610 $athe Wuliang Shrine 615 7$aReligion & beliefs 700 $aZhao$b Xiaohuan$4edt$01296430 702 $aZhao$b Xiaohuan$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910637780203321 996 $aReligion and Folk Belief in Chinese Literature and Theatre$93024065 997 $aUNINA
