The book explores the evolution of television from the classic era of the 1950s and 1960s, when families shared a communal viewing experience, to the current landscape of abundant programming options. It examines how the intimate, shared nature of early television has transformed, prompting questions about its relevance and the impact of modern viewing habits on culture and society.

This book demonstrates that transformative processes occurred in Chinese religions during the last decade of the Qing dynasty and the entire Republican period. Focusing on Shanghai and Zhejiang, it delves into the workings of social structures, religious practices, and personal commitments as they evolved during this period of wrenching changes.
