Summary

Huang He Rituals explores the Yellow River's deep connection to Chinese civilization, highlighting its role in shaping spiritual identity and ancestral worship. The book argues that the river is more than a geographical feature; it's a living embodiment of Chinese culture. Intriguingly, the Yellow River has served not only as a source of water but also as a nexus for communicating with the divine. The river's influence extends to mythology, with legends of dragon deities adding to its sacred status. The book examines the river's role in shaping Chinese cosmology and philosophy, including its connection to feng shui. 

 
Huang He Rituals unfolds in three parts, beginning with foundational myths, then moving into rituals performed on the riverbanks, and finally analyzing the river's role in shaping Chinese thought. By blending historical analysis with spiritual interpretation, the book offers a unique understanding of the Yellow River's significance.
