Journal of Chinese Ritual, Theatre and Folklore
 
(Min-su ch’ü-i) was founded in November 1980, its original goal being to publish research reports introducing traditional theatre and folklore in local society. Since 1991, the Journal’s scope has expanded to include Mainland China and examine a broad range of cultural phenomena, particularly religion and ritual.
 
Since 2002, the Editorial Board has worked to transform the Journal into an internationally recognized academic publication. It is now a quarterly, and is published every March, June, September and December. The Editorial Board welcomes submissions of articles, field reports, or book reviews written in either Chinese or English on the following subjects: regional theatre, music, folklore, religion, and ritual.
