Angela Zito
The Qianlong emperor, who dominated religious and political life in China, was ruled by elaborate ritual prescriptions, which determined his dress and behaviour, and how he performed the yearly Grand Sacrifices. This text analyzes how ritualizing power was shared by the throne and the literati.
