Abstract
: 
"Explores premortem shrine theory to illuminate Ming politics, including the Donglin Party's battle with eunuch dictator Wei Zhongxian and Gu Yanwu's theories. Argues that because elites often served their own interests, shrine rhetoric stressed the role of commoners, which allowed for the expansion of public opinion in late imperial China"--Provided by publisher.
