Bureaucracy and priesthood in the Celestial Empire The essentially secular character of Chinese mandarins is frequently stressed, yet hagiography and mirabilia sho that, on the representational level, their task of organizing local communities invests them with religious power. It is, however, a sixteenth-century tale, Xiao Chen degrades hegemony in Zhachuan, that provides the clearest illustration of the close-knit and ambiguous relations between mandarins and their gods. Enumerating all the possible situations of the relation between the political and the religious in a comic style, the tale calls for a reflection on the priestly function of provincial bureaucrats in ancient China
