ABSTRACT
Deeply-rooted in China’s popular culture, precious scrolls (Baojuan) are the golden material to display popular religious belief of the mass. Based on the rare texts sorted and annotated by Shang Lixin, Dutch Sinologist Wilt L. Idema continues his journey of translating precious scrolls. Focused on the theme of devoted women Buddhist followers in Ming dynasty, he explores the ethical choices of married women in facing the betrayal of servants or concubines. His translations not only add important reading material to Western readers in the field of Chinese popular literature, but also set standard for the coming translators in rendering Chinese ballads.
