Descrizione Mysticism and Kingship in China
Here we look at over 4,000 years of Chinese civilization through the lens of the relationship between kingship and mysticism. Author Julia Ching suggests that institutions of kingship were bound up with the cultivation of trance states and communication of spirits. Over time, the sage-king myth became a model for the actual ruler.
