About the Book

English summary: Tianfei niangma zhuan by the author Wu Huanchu is a short novel about the wonders of the goddess Tianfei, dating from the late Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Mostly known by the name of Mazu, Tianfei is today still venerated as the patron saint of sailors all along the Chinese coast and well beyond. In a detailed examination of the main characters of the story of Tianfei, this study traces the ancient tradition of gods and monsters in Chinese literary history in order to learn more about the author's work and enable the reader to savor the novel's subtleties. Based on this detailed examination the work concludes with possible interpretations of the structure and content which underline the religious historical significance of Tianfei niangma zhuan. German description: Das Tianfei niangma zhuan des Wu Huanchu ist ein kurzer Roman aus der spaten Ming-Zeit (1368-1644) uber die Wundertaten der Gottin Tianfei, die - zumeist unter dem Namen Mazu - bis in die Gegenwart entlang den chinesischen Kusten und weit daruber hinaus als Schutzpatronin der Seefahrer verehrt wird. Die Erzahlung berichtet von zwei bosen Damonen - einem Affen- und einem Krokodilgeist -, die aus dem Himmel fliehen. Das veranlasst die mitfuhlende Tochter eines Sternenfursten, personlich in die Welt der Menschen hinabzusteigen, um Unheil abzuwenden und fur Ordnung zu sorgen. Sie wird dazu in die Familie Lin geboren, steigt schliesslich als Tianfei erneut in den Himmel auf und jagt die beiden Fluchtigen, auch jenseits der Reichsgrenzen, bis sie diese nach zahlreichen Abenteuern zur Strecke bringt. In einer ausfuhrlichen Studie der Hauptfiguren der Erzahlung wird der langen Tradition dieser Gotter und Monster in der chinesischen Literaturgeschichte nachgegangen, um so dem Schaffen des Verfassers naher auf die Spur zu kommen und die Feinheiten des Romans auskosten zu konnen. Auf der Grundlage dieser Detailstudien werden abschliessend strukturelle und inhaltliche Deutungsansatze geboten, welche die religionshistorische Bedeutung des Tianfei niangma zhuan unterstreichen.
