Presentation

In my research work on the history and the worship activities of the Chinese religion, I combine textual research and fieldwork.

Since 1994, I have been working on the history of the cult of Xu Xun in Jiangxi province, and on its worship activities today.

The other field of research that I have developed since 2014 concerns the dongtian fudi of Jiangxi province; I focus on their territory and their links with local cults.

Research thematics

  • The living cult of Xu Xun 許遜 in Jiangxi province and its history
  • Grotto-Heavens (dongtian 洞天) and Blessed Lands (fudi 福地) of Jiangxi province
