Download or read book Confucianism and Sacred Space written by Chin-shing Huang and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Temples dedicated to Confucius are found throughout China and across East Asia, dating back over two thousand years. These sacred and magnificent sanctuaries hold deep cultural and political significance. This book brings together studies from Chin-shing Huang’s decades-long research into Confucius temples that individually and collectively consider Confucianism as religion. Huang uses the Confucius temple to explore Confucianism both as one of China’s “three religions” (with Buddhism and Daoism) and as a cultural phenomenon, from the early imperial era through the present day. He argues for viewing Confucius temples as the holy ground of Confucianism, symbolic sites of sacred space that represent a point of convergence between political and cultural power. Their complex histories shed light on the religious nature and character of Confucianism and its status as official religion in imperial China. Huang examines topics such as the political and intellectual elements of Confucian enshrinement, how Confucius temples were brought into the imperial ritual system from the Tang dynasty onward, and why modern Chinese largely do not think of Confucianism as a religion. A nuanced analysis of the question of Confucianism as religion, Confucianism and Sacred Space offers keen insights into Confucius temples and their significance in the intertwined intellectual, political, social, and religious histories of imperial China.

Book excerpt: Originally published in London in 1886, The Dragon, Image, and Demon, Or the Three Religions of China discusses different facets of the Confucian, Buddhist, and Taoist religions, including mythology and demonology associated with them, especially the worship of dragons. Though somewhat different from other cryptozoology titles, author and missionary Hampden DuBose still discusses the unknown-demons, gods, dragons-and their importance within the Eastern religions. In addition to giving an overview of each religion, DuBose discusses the importance of nature, the idolatry and worship of dragons, and the various god- and demon-figures in Eastern mythology and religion, which are somewhat intertwined. Part of the Loren Coleman Presents series for Cosimo Classics, this book will entertain religious as well as scientific scholars of the unknown. HAMPDEN COIT DUBOSE (1845-1910) was a missionary in China with the American Presbyterian Mission. Born and raised in South Carolina, he graduated from Columbia Theological Seminary before becoming a missionary in Suzhou, China in 1872. While there, he discovered the wide-spread use and negative effects of opium in China, and co-founded and became the first president of the Anti-Opium League in China. DuBose also authored several books, including Preaching in Sinim: The Gospel to the Gentiles, with Hints and Helps for Addressing a Heathen Audience (1873) and The Dragon, Image, and Demon, Or the Three Religions of China (1886).

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Religion in China: Containing a Brief Account of the Three Religions of the Chinese Some persons say that the Chinese have no religion. The facts are, however, opposed to this view. They show that the natives of China are not content with the worship of ancestors which they have elaborated for themselves. They have invited the Buddhists among them, and devoted great and long-continued attention to the establishment of a Buddhist ritual and literature adapted to their own country. If they had been content without the beliefs and practice of religion, they would not have done this. For example, the future state is not in the worship of ancestors looked forward to joyfully. At the best this worship is a sad and solemn function, and if the extinction of the souls life is postponed by the sacrifices, extinction sooner or later is to be expected. In consequence, we find many of the Chinese indulging in Buddhist and Tauist reading, and looking forward, if not to the Paradise of the Western Heaven, at least to the condition of the immortal genii who live unseen in green forests, on lofty mountains, or on some distant star in heaven. The Chinese were not satisfied with the Emperor's worship of the Sovereign Ruler of the Universe. They had in that worship only an indirect share.

Download or read book Chinese Religious Art written by Patricia Eichenbaum Karetzky and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2013-12-19 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chinese Religious Art is a broad survey of the origins and development of the various forms of artistic expression of Chinese religions. The study begins with an overview of ancient archaeology in order to identify nascent religious ideologies in various Neolithic Cultures and early Chinese historical eras including the Shang dynasty (1300-1050 BCE) and Zhou Dynasty(1000-221 BCE) up until the era of the First Emperor (221-210 BCE) Part Two treats Confucianism as a religious tradition examining its scriptures, images, temples and rituals. Adopted as the state ideology in the Han dynasty, Confucian ideas permeated society for over two thousand years. Filial piety, ethical behavior and other principles shaped the pictorial arts. Part Three considers the various schools of Daoist belief and their expression in art. The ideas of a utopian society and the pursuit of immortality characterize this religion from its earliest phase. Daoism has an elaborate pantheon and ritualistic art, as well as a secular tradition best expressed in monochrome ink painting. Part Four covers the development of Buddhist art beginning with its entry into China in the second century. Its monuments—comprised largely of cave temples carved high in the mountains along the frontiers of China and large metropolitan temples —provide evidence of its evolution including the adoption of savior cults of the Buddha of the Western Paradise, the Buddha of the Future, the rise of Ch’an (Zen) and esoteric Buddhism. In their development, these various religious traditions interacted, sharing art, architecture, iconography and rituals. By the twelfth century a stage of syncretism merged all three traditions into a popular religion. All the religions are reviving after their extirpation during the Cultural Revolution. Using historical records and artistic evidence, much of which has not been published, this study examines their individual and shared manner of worshipping the divine forces.

Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... II. The worship of their forefathers by all the Chinese people. I. ' I ""HE first thing to be set forth in the present Lecture is the Confucian worship of ancestors. The former Lecture was occupied principally with the worship of God as performed by the sovereign of China for himself and as the representative of his people; the worship of his ancestors is also a part of the state ceremonial, but in performing this the) sovereign does not stand alone;--the worship of their forefathers has always been the prac- DEGREES tice of all the Chinese people. We found that a belief in one supreme and only God was coeval with the fathers and founders of the nation, and was testified to by the primitive written characters. The worship DEGREES of God was, no doubt, the first, and for a time, probably, the only worship. By-and-by all nature was conceived to be a manifestation of God, and to be peopled with spirits superintend ing and controlling its different parts in subordination to Him. There grew up a worship of these spirits in connection with the worship of God. The name of Go'd was not given to them, but honour was done to them as ministers of God, and help might be sought from them _as_ mediators with Him. And it came about, as we saw, that the worship of God and of these spirits was all devolved on the Head of the people. At the same time the recognition of the one God was common to all. They knew that in Him they " lived and moved and had their being," and that His will should be the rule of their lives. All derived from Him their life and nature; all owed to Him the duties of obedience and reverence. The philosopher Mencius says in one place, that "though a man were wicked, yet if he adjusted his thoughts, fasted, and bathed, he might sacrifice to God."1 The languag...
