| Résumé: | Since 1980, the revival of Daoist temples in China’s urban environment has been developing in two different directions. On the one hand, "official" temples operated by the Daoist Association claim to embody a modern form of Daoism and offer a number of different religious services to the people. On the other hand, community temples refashion the religious life of neighbourhoods, often on the outskirt of cities. This article explores the complex relationships between these different kinds of temples, the lay groups who visit them, and the Daoist clergy who serve them. (China Perspectives/GIGA) |
