Description
Uses a combination of written and graphic data to identify the meaning of the so-called taotie mask and the basis of Shang religion. By using paleographic and representational evidence, Childs-Johnson puts into perspective for the first time that Shang belief was not limited to the worship of royal dead ancestor spirits. She analyses the meaning of several pivotal oracle bone graphs, in particular yi, illustrating that Shang belief was founded on the concept of spirit metamorphosis. She identifies yi as meaning 'to undergo metamorphosis of/by a spirit.' This also underlies the meaning behind Shang ritual representations. These analyses explain that early Chinese belief embraces more than the worship of dead ancestor spirits, the setting for the birth of Chinese civilisation is more complex in incorporating the basic belief in the power to take on the power of another in the spirit realm. This study enriches our understanding of China's earliest dynastic period.
