Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Wisconsin - Madison, 1997.

The goal of this research is to explore beliefs of the Zhou people by attempting to decode religious symbols in the Book of Poetry (c. 1100-600 BC). Symbols, pointing beyond themselves, are the best vehicles for the expression of religion, which contains both the character of concealment and of revelation. Broadly speaking, the sacred essence embodied in symbolism has often been a kind of cultural essence, because religion itself is a way to face life's challenges and religious norms influence people's behavior. Moreover, sacred symbols have formed a comprehensive network composed of countless objects and acts in people's daily lives. Thus whether from a spiritual or material dimension, religious symbolism is an effective key to disclosing man's ideas and emotions in the past.

520 $a The goal of this research is to explore beliefs of the Zhou people by attempting to decode religious symbols in the Book of Poetry (c. 1100-600 BC). Symbols, pointing beyond themselves, are the best vehicles for the expression of religion, which contains both the character of concealment and of revelation. Broadly speaking, the sacred essence embodied in symbolism has often been a kind of cultural essence, because religion itself is a way to face life's challenges and religious norms influence people's behavior.

520 $a An analysis of the major symbols in the religious poems of the anthology reveals a spiritual utopia which is at once holy and secular. The Zhou, at the core of their religion, believed that the supreme Heaven, gracious and authoritative, granted blessings upon man and that the ancestral spirits kept protecting their offspring in the numinous world. On the one hand, the worshippers responded by establishing communication with the spirits, expressing man's sincere gratitude, and, in a mystical sense, seeking harmony from the divine. On the other hand, pious sacrificers expected practical rewards, especially wealth, prosperity, and longevity. Such wishes were only realized had worshippers pleased the divine by presenting rich offerings and by following Heaven's moral rules. The symbolic order was so simple, rational, and sacred that it was not sufficient to embrace sophisticated ontological quests, frenzied ritualistic practices, and sheer humanistic concerns--elements which might have been found in the symbolic worlds of other cultures and in belief systems not represented in the Shi jing. To conclude, in Zhou culture as embodied in the Book of Poetry, the secret to facing life, no matter how good or bad, was an ever-bright world dominated by an ultimate power.
