Hard bound. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Second printing. A translation of the great French scholar's epic study of Chinese native religion, especially the Tao, posthumously published in 1971 as La Taoisme et les Religions Chinoises. Commencing with an examination of Chinese society, folk religion and its myriad deities, Maspero continued with a detailed analysis of the practice of religious Taoism, including an investigation of the yoga-like procedures of nutrition, breathing and sexual techniques, all designed to ensure immortality for the practitioner. The author also examines the relationships between Tai and Vietnamese folk religion and that of the Chinese. Drawing as it does on well over 200 primary sources including the all-important Taoist Canon, the tao-tsang, this book remains a fundamentally significant reference on Taoism. xxxiii, 578 pp., key to primary sources used, glossary of Chinese characters and index. Size: 21 x 16 cm.
