Abstract
This is a study of Taiwanese peasant religion as depicted from native concepts and practices associated with the hierarchy of gods, beliefs about ghosts, and the ever-present ancestor worship. Data were gathered intermittently between 1957 and 1970 from general observations and informants, and deal primarily with Taipei Hsien, with particular emphasis on the villages of San-hsia, Shu-lin and Hsia-ch'i-chou (the site of the author's first field work in the area).
