Building temples in China: memories, tourism and identities

Much has been written on how temples are constructed or reconstructed for reviving local religious and communal life or for recycling tradition after the market reforms in China. The dynamics between the state and society that lie behind the revival of temples and religious practices initiated by the locals have been well analyzed. However, there is a gap in the literature when it comes to understanding religious revivals that were instead led by local governments.

This book examines the revival of worship of the Chinese deity Huang Daxian and the building of many new temples to the god in mainland China over the last 20 years. It analyzes the role of local governments in initiating temple construction projects in China and how development-oriented, temple- building activities in Mainland China reveal the forces of transnational ties, capital, markets, and identities, as temples were built with the hope of developing tourism, boosting the local economy, and enhancing Chinese identities for Hong Kong and Taiwanese worshippers
