Annotated bibliography on shamanism in Chinese culture

Ed./Corp.: Barend ter Haar, University of Heidelberg, Germany
URL: http://sun.sino.uni-heidelberg.de/staff/bth/shamanism.htm
Language: English.

Self description: "The first problem that one encounters in studying
shamanism is one of definition and terminology, since this largely
determines the inclusion or exclusion of literature and topics. I prefer to
take a broad approach, that includes the self-flagellating tang-ki of
Southern China, possession cults (in which a being descends into a person,
speaking through his or her mouth or by means of a writing apparatus) and
spirit travel cults."

Site contents: (1) General works (Bibliographies; General theoretical
studies; General studies on shamanism in China); (2) Fieldwork studies
(Fujianese cultural regions; Guangdong cultural regions; Northern China;
Non-Han cultures); (3) Spirit writing (fieldwork and history); (4) History
(Until the Song; Song and after); (5) Daoism and its shamanic roots.
