简介
观音信仰始于印度，原为男性菩萨形象，历经近千年发展，在中国逐渐本土化为女性神祇。至明清时期，观音已成为中国最受欢迎的女神。李雨航在本书中探讨了帝制晚期中国的在家佛教女性如何与她们所虔诚礼拜的对象——观音——建立联系，论证了女性通过自身身体来回应观音的形象。
李雨航聚焦于物质文化的力量，探讨器物如何使女性获得宗教体验和超越。她考察了世俗佛教女性如何通过绘画、刺绣等不同媒介创造性描绘观音，并通过珠宝和舞蹈等身体化的方式来表现对女神的模仿性虔诚。这些物质展示表达了一种与儒家宗法制度不同却又相适配的世界观。关注世俗女性对“女性之物”的制作和使用，本书对佛教实践中崇拜者与被崇拜者之间的关系提供了新的洞见。结合艺术史与佛学研究的实证研究与理论视角，这是一部揭示物质文化、宗教及其性别化转型之间互动的开创性著作。

The goddess Guanyin began in India as the bodhisattva Avalokite?vara, originally a male deity. He gradually became indigenized as a female deity in China over the span of nearly a millennium. By the Ming (1358–1644) and Qing (1644–1911) periods, Guanyin had become the most popular female deity in China. In Becoming Guanyin, Yuhang Li examines how lay Buddhist women in late imperial China forged a connection with the subject of their devotion, arguing that women used their own bodies to echo that of Guanyin. Li focuses on the power of material things to enable women to access religious experience and transcendence. In particular, she examines how secular Buddhist women expressed mimetic devotion and pursued religious salvation through creative depictions of Guanyin in different media such as painting and embroidery and through bodily portrayals of the deity using jewelry and dance. These material displays expressed a worldview that differed from yet fit within the Confucian patriarchal system. Attending to the fabrication and use of "women's things" by secular women, Li offers new insight into the relationships between worshipped and worshipper in Buddhist practice. Combining empirical research with theoretical insights from both art history and Buddhist studies, Becoming Guanyin is a field-changing analysis that reveals the interplay between material culture, religion, and their gendered transformations .
