| 520 | |a "The Lady of Linshui Pacifies Demons is a seventeenth-century novelistic account of the founding myth of the cult of the Lady of Linshui, the goddess of women, childbirth, and childhood, who is still venerated in Fujian, Taiwan, and other places in Southeast Asia. The goddess's story evolved from the life of Chen Jinggu in Ming dynasty Hunan and has taken the form of vernacular short fiction, legends, plays, sutras, and stele inscriptions at temples where she is worshipped. This "novel" was translated in consultation with Brigitte Baptandier, whose widely praised anthropological study of the goddess's popularity-The Lady of Linshui: A Chinese Female Cult-was published originally in French and later in English translation by Stanford University Press in 2008. Among accounts of goddesses in late imperial China, this work is unique in its focus on the physical aspects of womanhood, especially the dangers of childbirth. It is also unique in dramatizing the contradictory nature of divinities in China through narrating the parallel lives of Chen Jinggu and her spirit double/rival, the White Snake demon who is born as her twin, battles with her over the body of her husband, kills her through devouring her fetus, and finally becomes her spirit mount. This unabridged, annotated translation provides insights into late imperial Chinese religion, the lives of women in the period, and, more broadly, the structure of families and local society"-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
