Chinese Death Rituals in Singapore Paperback / softback
by Tong Chee Kiong
Part of the Anthropology of Asia series
Paperback / softback
Description
Through a cultural analysis of the symbols of death - flesh, blood, bones, souls, time numbers, food and money - Chinese Death Rituals in Singapore throws light upon the Chinese perception of death and how they cope with its eventuality.
In the seeming mass of religious rituals and beliefs, it suggests that there is an underlying logic to the rituals.
This in turn leads Kiong to examine the interrelationship between death and the socioeconomic value system of China as a whole.
