Person, materials, and method
Scholarship in context.
Marcel Granet combined the philological training associated with Chavannes with Durkheimian sociology. His studies addressed festivals, marriage, ritual, and structures of thought in early China.
He asked how classics, myths, rituals, and social organization formed larger patterns, helping move sinology from philology toward historical sociology. His broad structures could also appear too orderly, compressing complex historical differences into a single social model.
