Features: This book briefly attempts to discuss certain issues, or for those interested in modern Chinese society. The family, especially in terms of religion, has been a powerful source of Chinese society and culture. The traditional Chinese family, for any anthropologist with correct views, must be a subject of admiration—in almost a worshipful sense, as it was so beautiful in many aspects. This book is divided into four parts, detailing topics such as the rediscovery of matriarchal societies and mythology, disease and abnormality, dreams and actions, obscenity and mythology, psychoanalysis and anthropology, the gap between psychoanalysis and the social sciences, and a "repressed rediscovery."
