Academic Activities
Recapping the academic seminar “徽州的宗教秩序與社會秩序：以《川源祀典》為中心” conducted by Prof. PUK Wing Kin on 22 September 2017
Prof. PUK Wing Kin explored the religious and social landscape of Wuyuan of Huizhou through a study of Huangshe Chuanyuan Sidian “隍社川源祀典” (The Code of Sacrifice to Cities, Shrines, Valleys and Rivers), a Daoist text containing not only names of well-known Daoist deities, but also other deities and names of real villages, shrines, temples and bridges of Wuyuan. The code provides a rare opportunity to locate the practice of popular Daoist practices within the specific landscape of Wuyuan.
