Moon YearRoutledge, 12. nov. 2012 - 578 sider First published in 2006. The Moon Year is an attempt at recording the mysterious and somewhat elusive traditions of the Chinese. Juliet Bredon and Igor Mitrophanow trace their way through the intimate life of the society, their religions, their superstitions, their philosophies, and customs. Only after a year's residence in China are they able to gather a much more intimate perspective on this age-old civilization that has withstood the test of time. Bredon and Mitrophanow attempt to unravel some of the puzzles that surround this fascinating culture, through describing in detail the everyday beliefs of the Chinese people and the festivals of their 'Moon Calendar,' used as a diary of daily happenings. |
