Religions of Ancient China Herbert a Giles M a

The religions of ancient China are widely disparate; this particular little work was meant mainly as travelers' literature (and was part of a spiritual series including Greece, etc.) As such it condenses thousands of years of religious history into not even fifty pages; from Confucius to Taoism and the latter-day influx of foreign faiths, it relates the general periodic history of all of the major spiritual (and technically antispiritual!) movements in China up til the then-modern period a century ago.
