This book reevaluates the longstanding assumptions about early imperial political culture. According to most explanations, filial piety served as the linchpin of the social and political order, as all political relations were a seamless extension of the relationship between father and son-a relationship that was hierarchical, paternalistic, and personal. Offering a new perspective on the mourning practices and funerary monuments of the Han dynasty, the author asks whether the early imperial elite did in fact imagine political participation solely along the lines of the father-son relationship or whether there were alternative visions of political association. The early imperial elite held remarkably varied and contradictory beliefs about political life, and they had multiple templates and changing scripts for political action. This book documents and explains such diversity and variation and shows that the Han dynasty practice of mourning expressed many visions of political life, visions that left lasting legacies.

"Confucianism and Sacred Space uses the site of the Confucius temple to explore Confucianism both as one of China's "three religions" (with Buddhism and Daoism) and as a cultural phenomenon, from the imperial era and to its secular garb under the Communists. This translation draws on Chin-shing Huang's two monographs and numerous published articles to provide a holistic picture of his decades-long research into Confucius temples. An introduction gives a historical overview and pulls the pieces together"--
