| Research Abstract |
This study is intended to investigate revival of religions in China since 1990's, focusing on the political aspect of situations which the popular religions are drawn on as a"symbolic capital"by the state policies and the socially constructed aspect of the interaction among the state, local elites, specialists and lay believers over the capitalization of religious symbols. The context analysis of ethnographic data which were obtained through a series of intensive fieldworks has shown not only the complexity of social construction practiced by the actors, but also historical and political nature of the social phenomena which are produced by the capitalization of religious symbols.
