"Scholars of Chinese Buddhism long disparaged late-imperial Buddhism, and Ming-era
Buddhism in particular, as degenerate, part of a decline from the glories of the Sui-Tang
Buddhism of sixth through the tenth centuries CE. In recent decades, scholars have
challenged this narrative of decline and degeneration, but their alternate conception
of the history of Buddhism in China as one of alternating periods of decline and renewal
has tended to focus on the doctrinal or theoretical contributions of individual masters,
leaving open the questions of what, practically speaking, a Buddhist renewal is and
how one comes to happen. In Thriving in Crisis, Dewei Zhang comes to grips with the
idea of Buddhist renewal through a systematic study of the late Ming Buddhist renewal
from a religio-political perspective. Zhang explores the history of the boom in enthusiasm
for Buddhism in the Jiajing-Wanli era (1522-1620) and reveals the social and political
factors that both caused and were caused by the Ming-era renewal. In doing so, he
provides a new theoretical framework for the decline/renewal conception of Buddhist
history in China"
