However, the relationship between the local and the national in folk religion has been seldom discussed in today’s religious circle. By studying the sacrifice forms in folk religion in Jinze Town, this paper attempts to provide a new dimension. A folk religion with “Lord Yang” as the main god has been preserved till now in Jinze Town, Qingpu District, Shanghai. The religious pattern of “temple and bridge” in the town forms a sacrifice system of Confucianism dating back to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which reflects many features of local religion in Jiangnan area since medieval times. Jiangnan folk religion is a complete faith system, in which Confucian sacrifice is national while various “Lords” are local. Based on the field investigation in Jinze and the examination of local chronicles of Suzhou Province and Songjiang Province, this paper shows that the sacrifice system on the township level is an important pillar that supports local societies in Jiangnan.

Daoist religion played a key role when the rulers of Liao was favored and then suspected by the emperors. While Daoism helped the first ruler of Liao survive from a political risk, it was also one of the elements which led to the destruction of the last ruler of Liao named by ZHU Xian-jie. Because of his advocating of Daoism, Zhu was favored by Emperor Jiajing but was deprived of the title and attacked by Emperor Longqing. Although the collapse of Liao was related to Zhu’s self-indulgent personality, it was also a result of political persecution. The political rival of ZHU took the advantage of Confucians’ hatred of Emperor Jiajing’s following the Daoist doctrines, framed up ZHU and made a false charge of his conspiracy against the empire. However, ZHU’s advocating had an indelible impact on the Daoism in his feod Jingzhou. Related Articles | Metrics
