Synopsis

The Chinese state has always been a religious one, in which pantheons and rituals were central political concerns. But while the state regularly refined its definition of orthodoxy, Chinese local society worshiped gods of its own choosing and organized itself autonomously in geomantic space, according to a local festival calendar.
