The New East Asian Studies Podcasts in the Age of AIRobert Ford Campany, "Making Transcendents: Ascetics and Social Memory in Early Medieval China," (University of Hawaii Press, 2009)By the middle of the third century B.C.E. in China there were individuals who sought to become transcendents (xian)―deathless, godlike beings endowed with supernormal powers. This quest for transcendence became a major form of religious expression and helped lay the foundation on which the first Daoist religion was built. Both xian and those who aspired to this exalted status in the centuries leading up to 350 C.E. have traditionally been portrayed as secretive and hermit-like figures.

To answer these questions Hymes examines the professional exorcist sects and rising Immortals' cults of the Sung dynasty alongside ritual practices in contemporary Taiwan and Hong Kong, as well as miracle tales, liturgies, spirit law codes, devotional...2024-11-1027 min
