Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of ancient Chinese beliefs about the soul and the spirit world, specifically focusing on the practice of exorcism. The author meticulously examines historical texts and writings to paint a vivid picture of how the Chinese have, for centuries, engaged in a relentless war against spectres â� � malevolent spirits believed to be responsible for misfortune and illness. The text explores the philosophical and religious underpinnings of this war, revealing its roots in the concept of a dualistic universe composed of light and darkness, good and evil. You'll discover how the Chinese viewed exorcism not as mere superstition, but as a critical element of their religious and moral framework. Through detailed descriptions of the tools and techniques used to combat spectres â� � from fire and light to noise and ritualistic practices â� � the book offers a unique window into the Chinese understanding of the cosmos and their place within it. The author's insightful analysis sheds light on the enduring power of these beliefs and their profound influence on Chinese culture and society. Ultimately, this book provides a captivating exploration of a complex and often misunderstood aspect of Chinese history and religion. By illuminating the logic and rationale behind the war against spectres, it allows us to appreciate the enduring human quest for understanding and control over the unseen forces that shape our lives. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781333862978_0
