Professor John Lagerwey is invited to deliver a faculty colloquium talk on "History and Anthropology of Religion in Huizhou". The event is co-sponsored by the Institute of Chinese Studies. | Date : | Friday, 11 April 2014 | | Time : | 4 – 6pm | | Venue : | Activity Room, Art Museum East Wing, Institute of Chinese Studies | | Abstract : | Xucun is a village in northern She County, Anhui (ancient Huizhou), that has been dominated by the Xu lineage since the Northern Song. The talk will present a succinct account of its history and customs focused on its chief temples, ancestor halls, and festivals. The earliest god was the earth god, the earliest temple Buddhist. In 1292, a temple to Wang Hua was built, and in 1343 a temple to Xu Yuan and Zhang Xun. Ancestor halls were built throughout the Ming and Qing, and once territorial festivals became increasingly lineage dominated. Throughout, there is one constant: fengshui, particularly as expressed in the gradual construction of three successive shuikou. |
