* [ / ] [ ] Abstract The rites of repentance in the folk society of Putian in Fujian are a ceremony held by rich families to reward deities for wish fulfillment and are therefore religious rites of a private nature. However these rites are normally conducted in the village temple and the alleged recipients of sacrifices are communal deities. During the ritual process the family is supposed to go out begging in the neighborhood and the neighbors as well as relatives are also supposed to take part in the ritual process in various manners. As such the rites of repentance actually involve the clan the in-laws the neighbors and other social relations. It therefore bears vast amount of significances. This paper gives a detailed account of how various social relations are enterwined in the performance of the repentance rite. social 1 117
