"Approaching writing as a form of cultural practice and understanding text as an historical object, this book not only recovers elements of the ritual practice of Middle-Period weddings, but also reassesses the relationship between texts and the Middle-Period past. Its fourfold narrative of the writing of weddings and its spirited engagement with the texts - ritual manuals, engagement letters, nuptial songs, calendars and almanacs, and legal texts - offer a form and style for a cultural history that accommodates the particularities of the sources of the Chinese imperial past."--BOOK JACKET

Famille, argent, pouvoir. Le jeu des influences qui s'exercent aujourd'hui [1987] sur le mariage en Chine populaire n'est pas seulement celui de l'amour et du hasard. Les témoignages rassemblés dans ce livre, souvent tirés de la presse chinoise, montrent bien que le mariage est, en Chine, plus encore que dans d'autres pays, une institution centrale au confluent des aspirations individuelles, des règles de la société et des pressions du pouvoir. A travers l'étude du mariage et de la vie familiale, c'est un premier bilan social du communisme qui s'esquisse.

Compiled by the great Neo-Confucian philosopher Chu Hsi (1130-1200), the Family Rituals is a manual for the private performance of the standard Chinese family rituals: initiations, weddings, funerals, and sacrifices to ancestral spirits. This translation makes the work, which is the most important text of its kind in the last thousand years of Chinese history, fully accessible to scholars and students in a wide range of fields. The militantly Confucian Family Rituals was designed to combat the practices of Buddhist and other non-Confucian rites, and it was quickly recognized as the standard authority by the state, the educated elite, and even by many uneducated commoners. With the spread of Neo-Confucianism, it was honored also in Vietnam, Korea, and Japan. Patricia Buckley Ebrey has added notes showing how the Family Rituals enhances our understanding of Chinese society and culture. She cites many of the commentaries on the work to give a sense of its uses in the centuries after its publication.Originally published in 1991.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
