These were inherently violent and could only be counteracted by violence as well-- even if this reactive violence was masked by euphemisms such as execution, expulsion, exorcisms and so on. At the same time, violence was a crucial dimension of the maintenance of norms and values, for instance in sworn agreements or in beliefs about underworld punishment. Violence was also an essential aspect of expressing respect through sacrificial gifts of meat (and in an earlier stage of Chinese culture also human flesh) and through a culture of auto-mutilation and ritual suicide. At the same time, conventional indigenous terms for violence such as bao were not used for most of these practices since they were not experienced as such, but rather justified as positive uses of physical force" -- $c Provided by publisher, page 4 of cover. 650 0 $a Violence $x Religious aspects. 651 0 $a China $x History. $x History. 650 7 $a Religion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093763 650 7 $a Violence $x Religious aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01167248 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 650 7 $a GewalttaÂtigkeit $2 gnd 650 7 $a Religion $2 gnd 650 7 $a Gewalt $2 gnd 650 7 $a Religionskrieg $2 gnd 651 7 $a China $2 gnd 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Elements in religion and violence. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019024322.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E80BD7E22DF611EAB868BF0597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
