This volume is intended as a reference work on Chinese Confucianism. Confucianism is a tradition encompassing religious, philosophical, political, social, and literary aspects with a rich and varied history not only in China, but in Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia. The present volume addresses Confucianism as it is formulated and practiced in China, the country of its origin. The focus upon China is because of the extraordinary richness and length of the history of Confucianism there. Chinese Confucianism also represents the scholarly expertise of the author and his assistant. The volume is composed of individual entries covering a vast range of topics related to, or in some fashion relevant for, the understanding of Confucianism. Entries include cross-references, see also references, and citations. Cross-references appear in boldface type within the text of the entry, indicating titles of other entries that appear in the book. See also references have the same function, only they appear at the end of the entry. These references may be related topics or points of interest for further study and investigation.
