  • Religion and Poetry in Medieval China

    J E E Pettit, Paul W Kroll et al.BOOKReligion and Poetry in Medieval…2023

    This volume of interdisciplinary essays examines the intersection of religion and literature in medieval China, focusing on the impact of Buddhism and Daoism on a wide range of elite and popular literary texts and religious practices in the 3rd-11th centuries CE. Drawing on the work of the interdisciplinary scholar Stephen Bokenkamp, the essays weave together the many cross-currents of religious, intellectual, and literary traditions in medieval …

  • What Daoist ritual has to contribute to ritual studies

    John LagerweyARTICLEStudies in Chinese Religions2022

    This article has three objectives: (1) to situate the history of Daoist ritual study within ritual studies; (2) to reflect on the role of ritual in Chinese culture; and (3) to survey the history and present focus of Daoist ritual studies. In the first part I will look at the impact of Protestant ideas of religion that militated against the development of ritual studies until the 1960s and 70s. In the second I will use Vandermeersch’s idea of West…

  • Do Reino ao Império da Religião de Salvação Universal

    Open AccessJohn LagerweyARTICLELocus - Revista de História2021

    Há muito tempo estou intrigado com o fato de que os impérios Romano e Han desmoronaram mais ou menos ao mesmo tempo, e que de seus escombros emergiram duas religiões universais de salvação – Budismo e Cristianismo – que se provaram indispensáveis para a reconstrução social e política. Conhecendo apenas os rudimentos da história ocidental, focalizarei o que considero a ideologia dos acontecimentos na China, deixando de lado os fatores econômicos e…

  • The Continent of the Gods

    John LagerweyARTICLEReview of Religion and Chinese…2019

    It first occurred to me some thirty years ago that Shenzhou 神州, translated “continent of the gods,” was a perfect way of talking about “China in the Daoist mirror.” It made it possible to think of China as a series of concentric spaces, going from the self to the cosmos, all structured in the same away around nodal points occupied by gods. Because it revealed a dense organization at every level, this space-based approach led me as well to call in…

  • Paradigm Shifts in Early and Modern Chinese Religion

    John LagerweyBOOKParadigm Shifts in Early and…2019

    "From the fifth century BC to the present and dealing with the Three Teachings (Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism) as well as popular religion, this introduction to the eight-volume Early and Modern Chinese Religion explores key ideas and events in four periods of paradigm shift in the intertwined histories of Chinese religion, politics, and culture. It shows how, in the Chinese church-state, elite processes of rationalization, interiorization, …

  • Lu Xiujing’s Shoudu yi 授度儀

    John LagerweyARTICLEStudies in Chinese Religions2018

    Ritual, like any language, has its own grammar and, like spoken languages, we can get at that grammar by breaking the ritual down into its smallest component parts, which I call ritèmes. As phonemes are combined to form words, ritèmes are combined to form ritual acts, which are in turn combined to form ‘sentences’. Ritual sentences are frequently composed of three parts, which I refer to as introductory (or preparatory), efficacious and conclusiv…

  • Modern Chinese Religion II

    Jan Kiely, Vincent Goossaert et al.BOOKModern Chinese Religion II2016

    The last of four two-volume sets on the key periods of paradigm shift in Chinese religious and cultural history, this book examines the transformation of values in China since 1850, in the “secular” realms of economics, science, medicine, aesthetics, media, and gender, and in each of the major religions (Confucianism, Buddhism, Daoism, Christianity) as well as in Marxist discourse. The nation and science are the values invoked most frequently, wi…

  • The Ming Dynasty Double Orthodoxy

    John LagerweyARTICLECahiers d Extrême-Asie2016

    Il est bien connu que le Daoxue, le confucianisme réinventé par Zhu Xi, est devenu l’orthodoxie de l’État impérial Ming, mais l’on ignore en revanche le plus souvent que le Daojiao, le taoïsme des Maîtres célestes, a joué un rôle similaire dès le règne de Taizu (r. 1368-1398). Cet article retrace les origines de cette « double orthodoxie du Dao » jusqu’aux tentatives de l’empereur taoïste Huizong des Song (r. 1100-1125) pour éliminer le chamanism…

  • Modern Chinese Religion I (2 vols.)

    Pierre Marsone, John LagerweyBOOKModern Chinese religion2015

    A follow-up to Early Chinese Religion (Brill, 2009-10), Modern Chinese Religion focuses on the third period of paradigm shift in Chinese cultural and religious history, from the Song to the Yuan (960-1368 AD). As in the earlier periods, political division gave urgency to the invention of new models that would then remain dominant for six centuries. Defining religion as “value systems in practice”, this multi-disciplinary work shows the processes …

  • How Universal Are Human Values

    John LagerweyARTICLETelos2015

    In this postmodern age, anyone seeing a title like “Chinese Values and Western Values: Clash, Coexistence, or Consensus?” should have the knee-jerk reflex to ask back: Which “Chinese”? Which “Western”? The “Chinese” of the Communist Party under Xi Jinping? Of Mao Zedong in Yan'an? Of the Manchu Qing or the Mongol Yuan? The West of Adolf Hitler, Woodrow Wilson, or Pope Francis? As a Sinologist, I have witnessed many of these usually self-serving, …

  • China

    John LagerweyBOOKChina2010

    Over the last forty years, our vision of Chinese culture and history has been transformed by the discovery of the role of religion in Chinese state-making and in local society. The Daoist religion, in particular, long despised as “superstitious”, has recovered its place as “the native higher religion.” But while the Chinese state tried from the fifth century on to construct an orthodoxy based on Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism, local society e…

  • Early Chinese Religion, Part Two

    John Lagerwey, Pengzhi LüBOOKHdO2010

  • Deux écrits taoïstes anciens

    John LagerweyARTICLECahiers d Extrême-Asie2004

    The "two ancient Taoist writings " of the title are the Taishang lingbao wufu xu (DZ 388) and the Taishang laojun zhongjing (DZ 1168), two texts which contain parallel passages concerning the gods of the body but which are otherwise very different. The first is an anthology of texts built around the symbols (fu) of the Five Emperors, the worship of which goes back to the early Han. The author suggests that the breath circulation practices associa…

  • Dingguang Gufo

    John LagerweyARTICLECahiers d Extrême-Asie1998

    Saint bouddhique du dixième siècle presque inconnu en dehors de la région hakka dans le sud-est de la Chine, Dingguang gufo fait l'objet, dans toute cette région, de cycles de légendes liés aux sites sacrés ainsi qu'aux pèlerinages. Les sources historiques du onzième au treizième siècles en font à la fois un héros civilisateur et la réincarnation du Bouddha du passé (Dīpamkara). Les monographies locales permettent aussi bien de suivre le développ…

  • Taoist Ritual Space and Dynastic Legitimacy

    John LagerweyARTICLECahiers d Extrême-Asie1995

    Trois domaines marquent la filiation du taoïsme par rapport au système impérial des Han : d'abord, l'espace rituel (tan) est hérité des plate-formes des sacrifices impériaux des Han, groupant une aire centrale siège du "grand un" (taiyi), une aire extérieure vouée aux "Cinq-Empereurs" et, en tout, 1514 sièges de divinités. Ensuite, sur ce tan, l'exécution du "Pas de Yu" (yubu) par les prêtres taoïstes est inspirée de la circulation du grand un qu…
