Reader comments
The book mainly talks about the development of folk religion, paying attention to its distinction from mainstream religions such as Buddhism and Taoism. Since folk religion is not a mainstream religion, it does not have a national scale, but is a regional religion that varies from place to place and ethnic group and is scattered and diverse. Mainstream society must rely on folk religion to stabilize civil society.
This book reminded me of a friend of mine who was very interested in folk religion. The book is very exciting about the development of Maitreya and Manichaeism and the struggle against the feudal ruling class. In particular, the fusion of the teachings of Maitreya and Manichaeism allowed me to see the evolution and adaptation of religions in history. This book is very helpful for understanding the development and characteristics of Chinese folk religion, and is recommended to friends who are interested in this aspect.
