Food, Sacrifice, and Sagehood in Early China
Sterckx, Roel (Professor, University of Cambridge)
In ancient China, food preparation and the offering up of food as a religious sacrifice were intimately connected with models of sagehood and ideas of self-cultivation and morality. Roel Sterckx's book explores how this culture influenced the ways in which the early Chinese explained the workings of the human senses.
