Content: This book is a unique transdisciplinary study on animals and plants in medieval Chinese religions and science, especially in such a critical era of environmental crisis today. In recent years, environment historians have written intensively on China, yet the study of animals and plants in medieval China was less developed, not much about the role of religions, more precisely. This book aims to bridge the gaps between religious studies and environmental studies, between the history of science and religious studies, and between animal studies and plant studies. It also deals with folklores and other literary sources for examining the changing images of animals in the psychological and imaginative experience, which are often overlooked in the conventional scholarship. This book addresses big issues such as how religious agents responded to the challenges about animals and plants as material culture in the mundane world, and how the religious writers developed their different discourse about animals and plants from the state ideology, and how the spiritual world and natural world mutually enriched each other in the medieval world of China.

Content: "Animals played crucial roles in Buddhism from its earliest days. When Buddhism spread into China, however, many of the animals that featured in early Buddhist narratives did not exist in the natural environment of China. The way that medieval Chinese Buddhist writers interpreted and modified (and occasionally replaced) the religious and cultural implications of these animals provides a fascinating lens for examining various dimensions of cultural, political, and religious life. Stories about parrots, tigers, snakes, and many other animals possessing or embodying spiritual qualities, both positive and negative, appear frequently in the Chinese literature of the time. Many of these portrayals, even those from decidedly nonreligious texts, are based on Buddhist understandings of what animals are and how they should be treated. In In the Land of Tigers and Snakes, Huaiyu Chen delves into how animals were used as symbols and as cultural capital as a way to better understand how Buddhism was adopted in medieval China and adapted to become Chinese Buddhism. In examining how Buddhist depictions of the natural world and native Chinese taxonomies of animals mutually enriched each other, he offers a new perspective for understanding how Buddhism as a religious culture took root in Chinese society"--
