Of Tripod and Palate: Food, Politics, and Religion in Traditional China
Roel Sterckx - Palgrave MacMillan, 2005
Book description
The offering of sacrifices, the banqueting of guests, and the ritual preparation, prohibition or consumption of food and drink were central elements in each of ancient China's three main religious traditions: the Classicist (Confucian) tradition, religious Daoism, and Buddhism. In Of Tripod and Palate, leading scholars examine the relationship between secular and religious food culture in ancient China from various perspectives.
