Enchanted Revolution
Religion, Gender, and the Chinese Communist Revolution
Women and China’s Revolutions, written by Gail Hershatter
A moderated mediation model of perceived stress, negative emotions and mindfulness on fertility quality of life in women with recurrent pregnancy loss
Women’s Liberation and Anti-Superstition in Wartime Communist Propaganda, 1943-1950
This article seeks to bridge the hitherto disconnected studies of the “woman question” and “religious question” in the twentieth-century Chinese revolution. It focuses on the issues of women’s liberation and anti-superstition in Communist propaganda through Xiao Erhei jiehun (Young Blackie gets married), a popular novel by the Communist writer Zhao Shuli (1906-70) published in 1943, and examines its impact in comparative context in wartime Commun…
Women, Gender and Religion in Modern China, 1900s-1950s
Over the last several decades, there has been a voluminous amount of scholarly literature about the transformation of women and gender, as well as about the reconstruction of Chinese religions in the context of twentieth-century Chinese modernity. The relationship and intersection of these two separated fields, however, remain uncharted territory. This essay is an introduction to three studies which address this lacuna. It places these writings i…

Women and the Religious Question in Modern China
Gendering Chinese Religion
Rural Women, Old Age, and Temple Work
This article examines the interface of religion, gender, and old age in contemporary China through the case of a group of rural Han elder women and their community temple in northwestern Sichuan. Without access to monastic resources and charismatic leadership, the women have made the temple a gendered ritual space of their own to obtain social company, spiritual comfort, and moral capital for themselves and their families. Neither victims of feud…
Two Temples, Three Religions, and a Tourist Attraction
Huanglong (Yellow Dragon) in northwestern Sichuan province is an old multi ethnic pilgrimage site that has become a UNESCO World Nature Heritage Reserve and a major national tourist attraction since the 1990s. This article focuses on the controversy over the identity and restoration of two major temples in Huanglong and analyzes the interaction of contemporary China's religious revival and the development of tourism. As local state agencies seek …
The Cult of the Fox
For more than five centuries the shamanistic fox cult has attracted large portions of the Chinese population and appealed to a wide range of social classes. Deemed illicit by imperial rulers and clerics and officially banned by republican and communist leaders, the fox cult has managed to survive and flourish in individual homes and community shrines throughout northern China. In this new work, the first to examine the fox cult as a vibrant popul…
