This study is an attempt to answer the question: What functions did religion perform in Chinese social life and organization so as to provide a basis for its existence and development, and through what structural forms were these functions carried out? Hence, the basic purpose here is functional interpretation of critical facts in order to reveal a pattern of relationship between religion and the social order; no attempt is made to achieve a systematic and exhaustive presentation of data on Chinese religion.Mukana palanen kansipaperia, missä kirjan synopsis.
