Features: This book provides an in-depth discussion on the original religious beliefs in Chinese history, as well as the comprehensive relationships and profound influences of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and later introduced religions like Islam and Christianity on Chinese culture. This includes perspectives on life, worldview, cosmic view, social view, ethical views, artistic creation theory, aesthetic views, and the relationship between religion and politics, as well as its impact on craftsmanship and technology. The authors argue that the relationship between religion and other areas of the superstructure is interactive, mutually integrating, and interpenetrating, forming a vast and colorful Chinese cultural system. The authors also conduct in-depth research on the works of some famous Western thinkers and offer a fresh interpretation of the concepts of "religion" and "culture."
