祖蔭下: 中國鄉村的親屬、人格與社會流動

This small classic on Chinese culture and religion before the Revolution-the first full statement on Chinese religion based upon field work carried out according to modern scientific techniques-has been brought up to date with extensive revisions by the author and a new chapter and Appendix. Using a small, semi-rural village in southwestern China, Dr. Hsu analyzes its culture and shows the pervasive influence of ancestor worship upon Chinese family life and social structure.
