ancestors • The Hague • Published In 1976 • Pages: 329-338
By: Li, Yih-yuan.
Abstract
In this essay, Li argues that Chinese ancestor cults do not render the ancestors, as former dominators of the worshipers, passive. Rather, Li asserts, the supposed satisfactions and dissatisfactions are keenly felt, and reflect domestic conditions among the living.
