The revival of Wudang Daoist martial arts
This paper writes the recent history of the revival of Wudang Taiji Boxing. In 20th-century China, first reformers, then communists stigmatized traditional martial arts. But after China's leaders, under Deng Xiaoping, initiated a new era of reform and opening up in 1978, all that changed. In 1980, a member of the Qing royal family who had spent seven months at Wudang Mountain in 1929 performed the style he had learned at Wudang at a national spor…

Pietism, the Brethren Movement, and the Globalization of Evangelical Christian Practice
This paper explores the influence of Pietism on the radical evangelical Christian movement known as the Open Brethren movement. In the 1830s, Anthony Norris Groves (1795–1853) met with German Lutheran missionary Karl Rhenius in India and praised his methods, which included support for indigenous Christian leaders and the independent churches that they led. Karl Gützlaff promoted similar methods in China and influenced wealthy London Brethren to f…

Chinese Traditional Aetiology and Methods of Cure in Hong Kong
The position of Chinese medicine in Hong Kong and the problems of official recognition are complex. This book discovered in follow-up interviews that specialists sometimes combine medical treatment with ritual treatments; that not all traditional doctors would assert that ritual treatment was without value, although none regarded ritual as their own province; and that some modern Chinese doctors would not say there was nothing in Chinese traditio…

This volume contains published articles by the author, who was a pioneer in the field of social anthropology in the post-war period and also the first president of the revived Hong Kong Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society. Her ethnographic research in Singapore and Hong Kong set a high standard for urban anthropology, and helped create the fields of migration studies, gender studies, and medical anthropology
Wudang Mountain and the Modernization of Daoism
202 Wudang Mountain and the Modernization of Daoism1 JEAN DEBERNARDI Both the modern nation‐state and global networks and organizations have contributed to the modern transformation of religions. In particular, the development of global capitalism has provided unprecedented fi‐ nancial means and technologies of communication to religious leaders. These have enabled entrepreneurial religious leaders of many religions— including Christianity, Buddh…

Epilogue
This epilogue responds to the articles in this volume from the perspective of recent developments among charismatic Chinese Christians in Singapore and Malaysia. The Health and Wealth Gospel is one among many revivalist movements to have impacted Chinese Christians in recent decades, and many have adopted aspects of its practices. In the process of localisation, however, this global cultural flow is inculturated into church groups with histories,…

Religions of China in Practice
This third volume of Princeton Readings in Religions demonstrates that the three of China - Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism (with a fourth, folk religion, sometimes added) - are not mutually exclusive: they overlap and interact with each other in a rich variety of ways. The volume also illustrates some of the many interactions between Han culture and the cultures designated by the current government as minorities. Selections from minority cult…

Space and Time in Chinese Religious Culture
The God of War and the Vagabond Buddha
In Mandarin Chinese, there is a proverb on the subject of marriage, which goes, Dragon with dragon, phoenix with phoenix. The Hokkien Chinese have their own wry version of this proverb, which goes, Dragon with dragon, phoenix with phoenix, and the hunchback with the simpleton. Not, they will add, that we're as bad as that. The logic of this self-satire harmonizes with a larger logic, which characterizes Chinese religion: People at different level…
