This is the exhibition catalog of a show held at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley in 1991 as the culmination of the Chinese Popular Culture Project. This volume studies the popular values and beliefs of ordinary people in China through the colorful representational imagery of gods and demigods, heroes and heroines, plump babies and bearded sages, and auspicious symbols depicted on woodblock prints and papercuts. Collected by Po Sung-nien over the last forty years, these examples of folk art are a valuable source for the reconstruction of popular mentalities in premodern China. This books serves as a valuable primer of Chinese popular iconography.
