Spectacle and Sacrifice: The Ritual Foundations of Village Life in North China - Harvard East Asian Monographs
David Johnson
This book describes the ritual world of a group of rural settlements in Shanxi province in pre-1949 North China. The great festivals were their supreme collective achievements, carried out virtually without aid from local officials or educated elites. Newly discovered manuscripts allow Johnson to reconstruct the festivals in unprecedented detail.
