具體描述
The Qianlong emperor, who dominated the religious and political life of eighteenth-century China, was in turn dominated by elaborate ritual prescriptions. These texts determined what he wore and ate, how he moved, and above all how he performed the yearly Grand Sacrifices. In Of Body and Brush, Angela Zito offers a stunningly original analysis of the way ritualizing power was produced jointly by the throne and the official literati who dictated these prescriptions.
Forging a critical cultural historical method that challenges traditional categories of Chinese studies, Zito shows for the first time that in their performance, the ritual texts embodied, literally, the metaphysics upon which imperial power rested. By combining rule through the brush (the production of ritual texts) with rule through the body (mandated performance), the throne both exhibited its power and attempted to control resistance to it. Bridging Chinese history, anthropology, religion, and performance and cultural studies, Zito brings an important new perspective to the human sciences in general.

圖書目錄
儀式，長久以來是人類學傢關注的研究焦點。Of Body & Brush正是藉助人類學理論分析清代祭祀儀式的研究書籍，全書環繞著「大祀(Grand Sacrifice)如何作為清帝國的統治技巧」的提問展開研究。
外來的滿洲政權如何成功地長期統治中國是許多學者試圖解答的問題，本書擬藉助南郊祭天、北郊祭地、祭宗廟、祭社稷壇等「大祀」來分析三個問題：（一）十八世紀的官方學者是怎麽透過禮儀研究與流程設計為清朝的統治背書；（二）天子的特殊地位，是怎麽從身體在儀式中被擺放的位置、被決定的舉止中顯現齣來；（三）皇權的崇高及其與傳統文化、地方社會的連結，是怎麽從繁瑣的器皿、祭品，以及不同祭典所在的不同方位中透露齣來。
因此，皇權與學術文化的互動成為本書討論上述問題的軸心。官方學者編纂禮儀方麵的書籍，成為帝王統治話語的文本；皇帝則透過祭祀，展演他是諸多德行的化身，故權威其來有自；而閤法的皇權恰又保障瞭學者的利益。正如本書書名Of Body & Brush所展示的：統治權力所倚賴的禮儀透過「筆」（不論是畫筆或毛筆）而產生，身體則肩負演繹禮儀文本的重任，使抽象的權力得以具象地展現於子民眼前。
本書以人類學的研究方法切入，為西方的清史研究開闢一條蹊徑，這種新的觀察視角與研究方法，也使本書被視為「新」清史著作之一。但是此書之「新」，在於史料與理論的巧妙結閤，以及跨學科的方法運用；而非有意以「滿洲」為中心考察清代歷史，或重新檢視「漢化」在清朝發揮的作用，否則利用各類大型國傢祭祀活動確立統治地位、宣示正統，歷代中國王朝皆然，甚至從入關前開始，清朝統治者便開始移植明朝的祭祀製度。以此觀之，清朝與其他中國王朝有什麼不同？以滿洲身分統治中國的清朝，其特殊性又在哪裡呢？
