Summary

Over the last decade there has been a marked increase in the study of Daoism especially in Japan, China and the West, with a new generation of scholars broadening our understanding of the religion. Including contributions from the foremost scholars in the field, Daoism in History presents new and important research.These essays honour one of the pioneers of Daoist studies, Emeritus Professor Liu Ts'un-yan. His major essay "Was Celestial Master Zhang a Historical Figure?" addresses one of the pivotal questions in the entire history of Daoism and is included here as the final essay. In addition a Chinese character glossary, bibliography and index conclude the book.The first in an exciting new series, this book presents brand new thinking on Daoism - a field now recognized as one of the most vital areas of research in Chinese history and the history of religions.
