皇帝和祖宗:华南的国家与宗族
(hong Kong) Codavid
The question this book aims to answer and solve is: How are the legal provisions of the imperial court and the ritual habits and desires of the people intertwined to guide the conscious process of regional construction of "South China" that lasted for hundreds of years? This book shows that the historical dynasties were committed to the political integration of South China and to cultivate good people who respected the government, paid taxes, and kept their own integrity. This language has two mutually invented keywords: "emperor" and "clan". They permeate all etiquette, identity, status, property rights, business habits, social mobility, and community building. The orthodox ties between South China and the center of the dynasty were not only established on Lijia and Sacrifice, but also on the language of "religion."
