Now that I’ve supplemented my  portrait film of Li Manshan with precious footage from the 1995 New Year’s rituals in Gaoluo, I feel it’s time to rearrange the deckchairs on the Titanic by revamping the Menu.

Here’s an instance of the submenus:

With a personal selection of some main topics, I hope it’s now more user-friendly. It’s work in progress, and doubtless I will continue refining it in the coming months, so please Bear With while I edit links throughout the site. It may take us all a while to get used to it—do keep using the search box too.

The Pardon, 1991 https://stephenjones.blog/the-film/

The new sequence (with many sub-menus to explore) goes

• Home (also under reconstruction!)
• POSTS
• Li family Daoists
• Gaoluo
• Hebei
• Elsewhere (Shaanbei, Gansu, Fujian…)
• Themes (Zhengyi/Quanzhen, Fieldwork, Ritual, Famine…)
• Roundups (including folk traditions around the world)
• Western Art Music

Good luck! Feedback welcome.
