Descripción
Sumario:This volume explores the transformation of Chinese Daoism in the late imperial period through the writings of prominent literati scholars of the period. In such a cultural context, it then launches an investigation into the Daoist dimensions of the Chinese narrative masterpiece, The Story of the Stone: the inscriptions of Quanzhen Daoism in the infrastructure of its religious framework, the ideological ramifications of the Daoist concepts of chaos, purity, and the natural, as well as the Daoist images of the gourd, fish, and bird. The author demonstrates the central position of Daoist philosophy both in the ideological structure of the Stone and the literati culture that spawned it.
