| Research Abstract |
Baojuan 宝巻, that means "precious volumes", is the text of folk-ritual performance Xuanjuan 宣巻. We made ten fieldworks in Shaoxing 紹興 and Pinghu 平湖, Jiangnan 江南 district, observed the Xuanjuan and other folk-rituals, and took many photographs of Baojuan, such as four local texts of Maihua Baojuan 売花宝巻. Now we have following suppositions about Baojuan and folk-ritual in China : 1) There can be great variety of the local text of Baojuan. 2) A performer often has both characters as a priest and entertainer. 3) The actual condition of folk religion is so complicated that in some cases the devotion is exclusive between the text where the text which is sung or narrated and the ritual.
