NIAS Press Fengshui in China: Geomantic Divination Between
Book SynopsisFor well over a century Chinese fengshui, or geomancy, has fascinated western laymen and scholars. The focus of this academic study is on fengshui's significance in China and the author's argument that fengshui serves as an alternative tradition of cosmological knowledge which is used to explain a range of everyday occurrences in rural areas such as disease, mental disorders, accidents and common mischief. For well over a century, Chinese fengshui - or 'geomancy' - has interested Western laymen and scholars. Today, hundreds of popular manuals claim to use its principles in their advice on how people can increase their wealth, happiness, longevity, etc. This study is quite different, approaching fengshui from an academic angle. The focus is on fengshui's significance in China, but the recent history of its reinterpretation in the West is also depicted. The author argues that fengshui serves as an alternative tradition of cosmological knowledge, which is used to explain a range of everyday occurrences in rural areas such as disease, mental disorders, accidents and common mischief. Although Chinese authorities have opposed the tradition for centuries, nonetheless it has been used by almost everyone as an aspect of popular cosmology. Opposing the Chinese collectivist ethos and moralizing from above, fengshui represents an alternative vision of reality, while interpreting essential Chinese values in a way that sanctions selfish motivations and behaviour. The study includes a historical account of fengshui over the last 150 years augmented by the results of anthropological fieldwork on contemporary practices in two Chinese rural areas. Aiming to eschew Western intellectual preconceptions and to penetrate the confused mass of old texts and divergent local practices, the book will be of interest to all scholars seeking to understand an undercurrent of modern China's transformation.Trade Review"'This valuable study will be required reading for scholars of Chinese religion, and makes a valuable contribution to the anthropology of religion.' Joseph Bosco, in East Asia, 2004) 'Offers significant insights into the working of diverse coexisting traditions... [and will] undoubtedly remain an important work in the studies of contemporary China's transformation as well as postcolonial cultural development.' (Yinong Xu, in China Review International, 2004)"Table of ContentsIntroduction; 1: Fengshui: A Challenge to Anthropology; 2: Fengshui Practices and Policies, 1850-1949; 3: Fengshui Practices and Policies after 1949; 4: The Fengshui Revival - Fieldwork in Sichuan; 5: Another School of Fengshui - Fieldwork in Jiangsu; 6: Feng-shui Stories and Possible Interpretations; 7: The Construction of a Discourse: Feng-shui as Environmental Ethics; 8: Conclusion; Appendix: On the Origin of Fengshui and the History of its Literature; Bibliography; Index.
