1898: The beginning of the end for Chinese religion?

Article Abstract:

A study aims to identify the social and intellectual events in China that made the process of temple destruction possible in its early phases, before the 1911 Republican revolution. It focuses on facts, texts, and ideas that predate the fierce anti-superstition campaigns led by the Kuomintang between 1926 and 1937, to show that much of the contents of these campaigns already existed during the period between 1898 and 1911.
