Abstract
This brief introduction to Jiang Qing’s life, thought, and activities has benefited tremendously from a detailed biographical work about him developed by Professor Ruichang Wang in the Chinese language (Wang 2008), although the work has never had a chance to be published because of political reasons. Given the main theme of this volume, this chapter will not attempt to touch on every important detail of Jiang’s life and activities. Instead, it will concentrate on the essential process and scenarios in which he has come to be an exemplary figure in the renaissance of Confucianism in contemporary China. This summary chapter offers helpful background information for readers of this volume to understand better the issues and debates that have been addressed in the previous chapters.
