The Dragons of Tiananmen
Author: Jeffrey F. Meyer
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
The Dragons of Tiananmen is a contribution to scholarship in the field of Chinese studies and the history of religions and should appeal to a large audience in related fields of interest. It focuses on the symbolic meaning and religious significance of Beijing. The works of Lewis Mumford and Paul Wheatley have awakened scholars to the great importance for the more spiritual and symbolic aspects of traditional city building, factors which go beyond the functional, technical and utilitarian. But until now there has been no full study of Beijing, which is the most recent and most accessible example of the kind of religious/cosmic planning traditions. This book will illuminate the religious dimensions of one of the world's great cities, describing the city's meaning to both the upper classes and the ordinary people of Beijing, through an analysis of their myths and legends.
