Book Synopsis Festivals, Feasts, and Gender Relations in Ancient China and Greece by : Yiqun Zhou
Download or read book Festivals, Feasts, and Gender Relations in Ancient China and Greece written by Yiqun Zhou and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-08-16 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancient China and Greece are two classical civilisations that have exerted far-reaching influence in numerous areas of human experience and are often invoked as the paradigms in East-West comparison. This book examines gender relations in the two ancient societies as reflected in convivial contexts such as family banquets, public festivals, and religious feasts. Two distinct patterns of interpersonal affinity and conflict emerge from the Chinese and Greek sources that show men and women organising themselves and interacting with each other in social occasions intended for collective pursuit of pleasure. Through an analysis of the two different patterns, Yiqun Zhou illuminates the different socio-political mechanisms, value systems, and fabrics of human bonds in the two classical traditions. Her book will be important for readers who are interested in the comparative study of societies, gender studies, women's history, and the legacy of civilisations.
Book Synopsis The Ghost Festival in Medieval China by : Stephen F. Teiser
Download or read book The Ghost Festival in Medieval China written by Stephen F. Teiser and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-12-08 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Largely unstudied until now, the religious festivals that attracted Chinese people from all walks of life provide the most instructive examples of the interaction between Chinese forms of social life and the Indian tradition of Buddhism. Stephen Teiser examines one of the most important of such annual celebrations. He provides a comprehensive interpretation of the festivities of the seventh lunar month, in which laypeople presented offerings to Buddhist monks to gain salvation for their ancestors. Teiser uncovers a wide range of sources, many translated or analyzed for the first time in any language, to demonstrate how the symbolism, rituals, and mythology of the ghost festival pervaded the social landscape of medieval China.

Book Synopsis Legendary Chinese Festivals by : Joey Yap
Download or read book Legendary Chinese Festivals written by Joey Yap and published by Joey Yap Research Group . This book was released on 2021-01-08 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chinese culture and heritage is rich and runs across a time frame of five thousand years. It was during this time that a variety of unique and varied celebrations began to grow roots. Despite China’s many changes Chinese festivals are deeply rooted in popular tradition. China amasses a vast area and consists of a number of ethnic groups that all come together as part of a vibrant cultural experience. Some of these festivals have developed into popular celebrations that are not only practiced in China, but also in many Chinese communities throughout the world. Much of the customs and traditions of its people vary by geography and ethnicity yet remain firmly established as part of the country’s vibrant culture. Over the years much of the festivals have evolved with the changes in the development of the Chinese civilization and as a consequence have become an integral part of the Chinese culture. As with time’s progression and the advent of science, technology and rapid globalisation many Chinese are no longer able to tell how their festivals originated which has in turn seen the gradual shedding of ethnic traditions for modern and universal ways. This is especially true of Chinese communities outside their homeland.
