Features: This book proposes original insights into Dong Studies, taking "belief" as the ontology of Dong Studies and further defining "faith" as "Heaven," establishing "Heaven" as the foundation of Dong Studies. The author argues that the ontological nature of Heaven has always been alive within the belief world of the Chinese people. The Chinese tend to believe in Heaven more than in themselves, and thus the ontological thought in Dong Studies has been elaborated in an unprecedented way by the author.
