This study focuses on the politics of memory in the village of Dachuan in northwest China, in which 85 percent of the villagers are sur named Kong and believe themselves to be descendants of Confucius. It recounts both how this proud community was subjected to intense suffering during the Maoist era, culminating in its forcible resettlement in December 1960 to make way for the construction of a major hydroelectric dam, and how the village eventually sought recovery through the commemoration of that suffering and the revival of a redefined religion.
Before 1949, the Kongs had dominated their area because of their political influence, wealth, and, above all, their identification with Confucius, whose precepts underlay so much of the Chinese ethical and political tradition. After the Communists came to power in 1949, these people, as a literal embodiment of the Confucian heritage, became prime targets for Maoist political campaigns attacking the traditional order, from land reform to the “Criticize Confucius” movement. Many villagers were arrested, three were beheaded, and others died in labor camps. When the villagers were forced to hastily abandon their homes and the village temple, they had time to disinter only the bones of their closest family members; the tombs of earlier generations were destroyed by construction workers for the dam.

Review
"One of the best local ethnographies to date on post-reform China. . . . Conceptually sophisticated yet undiminished by unnecessary jargon, the book provides one of the most readable and intelligently framed accounts of change and continuity at the local level in China." —Journal of Asian Studies
"Anthropologists and historians will find themselves rewarded by this nuanced examination of social memory, ritual life, and the traumatic recent history of a remarkable village."—China Review International
"This gem of a book takes the study of Chinese village culture to new levels of theoretical sophistication, ethnographic nuance and literary evocativeness. . . . There are many fine books that tell similar stories of the devastation of rural communities during the Maoist era. Dachuan is different only in that the depth of its tragedy was several degrees worse than most. But what makes Jun Jing's book unique is his discovery of a way to probe the meaning of such a history for the villagers."—China Quarterly
"All audiences can enjoy the universal subjects of the book—children and food. . . . Feeding China's Little Emperor's is useful both for anthropologists or those looking at social change over the last few decades."—The China Business Review
"In 1961 the entire village of Dachuan was destroyed when it was submerged under a reservoir created by a newly constructed hydroelectric dam. . . . In Jun Jing's beautifully written account, The Temple of Memories, he reveals how the villagers tra

评分第三遍。还是觉得没完全读懂。应该是我底子不够的问题。
由一个数十代不断的村庄大川即可见证中国的历史,尤其是建国后的历史。作者选取的角度独特,从民间记忆入手,记叙了大川百姓的恐怖、苦难记忆,从大川重建庙宇、祭祀仪式等可以看到民间对于强权主导的选择性记忆与遗忘的回应。 惜哉如大川者无多矣。中国人善于忘却,加之强权下...
评分 评分很奇怪为什么该书的中文版不能出版,“反动”?呵呵,政治人类学的一本佳作,还好有景军自己提供的中文版可以阅读。 该书给我最大的教益主要有两点,当然对于人类学专业人士而言或许更多,对我所研究的领域而言则集中在仪式和记忆上。 1,景军注意到了仪式在社会转型和意识形态...
评分神堂笔记作为一本老师推荐的书籍,一开始只是觉得来源于学术创作的文章不会很好读,但是一接触到文字之后发现整个文本读下来没有什么难度,都是一些很细碎的很真实的故事,由现在的描写有对过去的追溯,整个文章以各项记忆的方式既包括了回忆的成分,更有一种回头看一切清晰可...
