Summary note

'Confucian Gods' offers an intellectual history of Confucian conceptions of the gods found in the Classics and feasted by the imperial court until the early twentieth century. Thomas Wilson examines court debates surrounding these canonical gods and the devotional rites to feast them at imperial altars and temples during the Tang (618-907), Song (960-1279), and Ming (1368-1644) dynasties.
