Quelles sont les grandes figures de la mythologie populaire chinoise ? Comment s'ordonne son panthéon ? Au carrefour du taoïsme, du bouddhisme et du confucianisme, cette religion foisonnante de divinités s'anime d'histoires dont Jacques Pimpaneau explore et élucide les variations, de Zhong Kui le pourfendeur de démons à ces multiples dieux locaux, déesse des Latrines ou dieu du Sol, auxquels on rend un culte dans la vie quotidienne. Voici un nouveau visage de la Chine à découvrir, celui de ses croyances : car si les dieux n'y sont pas éternels, ils restent bien vivants dans les cérémonies et les pratiques populaires de la Chine d'aujourd'hui.

The present book by Hu Baozhu explores the subject of ghosts and spirits and attempts to map the religious landscape of ancient China. The main focus of attention is the character gui 鬼, an essential key to the understanding of spiritual beings. The author analyses the character gui in various materials - lexicons and dictionaries, excavated manuscripts and inscriptions, and received classical texts. Gui is examined from the perspective of its linguistic root, literary interpretation, ritual practices, sociopolitical implication, and cosmological thinking. In the gradual process of coming to know the otherworld in terms of ghosts and spirits, Chinese people in ancient times attempted to identify and classify these spiritual entities. In their philosophical thinking, they connected the subject of gui with the movement of the universe. Thus the belief in ghosts and spirits in ancient China appeared to be a moral standard for all, not only providing a room for individual religiosity but also implementing the purpose of family-oriented social order, the legitimization of political operations, and the understanding of the way of Heaven and Earth.
