Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Historical Development of Religion in China The reflections on the Religion and History of China contained in the following pages give the substance, somewhat expanded and revised, of an address delivered on the 8th and 9th of December, 1913, to the students of the Caermarthen Presbyterian College. In submitting them now to the indulgence of a wider public the author possibly owes a few words of explanation to his readers, who may, perhaps, in the light of later happenings, find some of the judgments over confident. A year ago China seemed to be in the melting-pot; to-day it is our Western European world whose faiths, institutions, and traditions are upon their trial. Yet perhaps the only explanation needed is simply to say that these pages were written before the War. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The custom of living together in clans, each composed of the descendants of one family, greatly favoured this state of things, naturally turning the burial ground of each settlement or village into one large family grave-yard.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religion of the Chinese A place as a world-religion must, without hesi tation, be assigned to it on account of the vast number of its adherents. It has extended the circle of its influence far beyond the boundaries of the empire proper, and has gained access, together with Chinese culture generally, into Korea, Japan, Manchuria, and Turkestan, as well as into Indo China, though, of course, in modified forms. Hence a proper understanding of the religions of East Asia in general requires in the first place an under standing of the religion of China.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religious System of China, Its Ancient Forms, Evolution, History and Present Aspect, Manners, Customs and Social Institutions Connected Therewith, Vol. 5 It is clear that both among men and spectres there may be such anti-natural actions which are sie or yin. They are all detrimental to the good Of the world, destroy the prosperity and peace which are the highest good Of man, and, as a consequence, all good, beneficial government; they may thus endanger the world andthe Throne. If they proceed from men, they ought to be combated by everybody, and eradicated; it is the natural duty of right-minded, orthodox rulers and statesmen to persecute such heresies, and even the thoughts and sayings which produce them, the more so as they may be detrimental to virtue and morality, without which humanity cannot possibly prosper, nor durably exist. And when such actions proceed from spirits, a defensive war should be waged against them by man, with or without the help of his good spirits and gods; they should be combated, repulsed, driven away and exorcised, if possible annihilated, by artful expedients. Man in the course Of time has contrived quite an abundance Of these; properly speaking that warfare never pauses, and is carried on quite systematically every day throughout the empire.

Book excerpt: This book is part of an initiative in cooperation with renowned Chinese publishers to make fundamental, formative, and influential Chinese thinkers available to a western readership, providing absorbing insights into Chinese reflections of late, and offering a chance to grasp today’s China. In their influential book Handbook of the History of Religions in China, Zhongjian Mou and Jian Zhang present a panorama of the religions existing in China through time. In their fascinating History, they delineate the emergence and development of Daoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Islam, and Christianity and explore the roles they played in Chinese society and the interrelations between them. In China, also due to the encompassing Confucian idea of “living together harmoniously while maintaining differences,” religions—including newly arrived ones—came closer together than anywhere else in the world and reached a unique level of peaceful societal coexistence. Despite many frictions and conflicts, communication and reconciliation were indisputably predominant in China throughout history. Buddhism was peacefully introduced into China and, later on, a harmonious, symbiotic syncretism of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism developed—an exemplary process of how a diverse set of different religions can complement each other and contribute to a better life.

XIII), the Second Book will be devoted to the Son], that is to say, to the ideas of the nature and characteristics of souls, the ways in which they are thought to manifest themselves or their influence, and to work on human life and society, as also to the main part of the practices and usages born from the belief in their existence and power. It will, in other words, he a Book on Animism, comprising Spirit-lore and Demonology, Exorcism and Divination, treating also of Spiritism and Fetichism, as they manifest themselves by the worship of deceased parents and ancestors in the family-circle, on their graves, and in temples. It will at the same time become an intro duction to the principles and chief features of Taoism, this system having evolved in the main from the general ideas concerning souls.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The State Religion of China: By Inquirer The next point to this, is to state what is the relation of the designa tions Ti and Shang-ti to the Being who is styled Heaven. Kang Hi's Dictionary and the Book of History defines it thus, Shang-ti is Heaven The Fung-shen Book says Shang-ti is another name for Heaven. 1 In the commentaries on the Classics these definitions are repeated very frequently - sometimes in one form, and sometimes in the other. Shang-ti is Heaven. Shang-ti and Heaven are one and the same. Shang-ti is another name for Heaven. In his Lectures, at' p. 10, Dr. Legge says Heaven is styled Shang-ti, and as frequently Ti alone, without the Shang. Throughout the Shu and the Shih, the ancient Books of History and Poetry, the names Thien, Ti and Shang ti are constantly interchanged, in the course of the same chapter or paragraph, often in the same sentence. Dr. Chalmers says Confucius did not initiate the practice of calling Heaven personified Shang-ti. The usage came down with the language from unfathomable antiquity. Terms Simplified, p. 58. Dr. Medhurst or Shang-ti is said to be synonymous with Heaven. Sec Inquiry, p. 19. I concur entirely in this general consensus of the usage of Shang-ti as another name for or the synonym of Heaven. Heaven is the name of the Being, and Ti and Shang-ti are used as other names to designate that Being. I call attention to the fact that it is not once intimated in any book, or stated by any native or foreign authority that Heaven is another name for Shang-ti.
