内容简介（80字以内）Content Abstract（Within 80 Words）

This book, based on two decades of international collaborative research, focuses on four thousands of Hunan statues, all of which have been meticulously studied on the basis of consecration certificates inserted in the statues, the earliest of which date to the sixteenth century. This comprehensive investigation of central Hunan religious and social practices is the first devoted entirely to the unique statuary and represents a major contribution to our understanding of local Chinese society. Related publications include Knotting the Banner: Ritual and Relationship in Daoist Practice.

此书是史上首次对湖南中部宗教和社会习俗的全面调查。它基于 20 年的国际合作研究，重点研究 4000 座最早可以追溯至 16 世纪的雕像，促进读者了解当地中国社会。其它相关书籍有Knotting the Banner: Ritual and Relationship in Daoist Practice等。
