内容简介

This book argues that while the promotion of Daoism was a national policy of the Ming (1368–1644) court, the activities and maintenance of local Daoist institutions were the result of royal support from the Ming princes (wang) enfeoffed in provinces. Barred from any serious political or military engagement due to the fanjin (“restrictions towards princes”) system, the Ming princes were ex officio managers of state rituals at the local level, with Daoist priests as key performers, and for this reason they became very closely involved in Daoist clerical and liturgical life. In addition, as the regional overlords, the Ming princes saw financing and organizing temple affairs and rituals, patronizing Daoist priests, or collecting and producing Daoist books as a chance to maintain their influence and show off their power. The prosperity of Daoist institutions also demonstrated the princes’ political success. Like the Six Dynasties Southern aristocrats, or the local elites in Jiangxi and Jiangnan in late imperial times, the Ming princes were subordinated to a higher authority. By aligning themselves in this way with local religious traditions, including Daoism, spiritually as well as politically, the Ming princes ensured themselves a place on the winning side. This kind of enforced relinquishment of autonomy turned many members of Ming princedoms to the spiritual planes not completely controlled by the Confucian state ideology and scholar-officials. In presenting the role the Ming princes played in local religion, this book shows that the princedom served to mediate between the official religious policy and the commoners’ interests.
