Dear Colleagues, I would just like to share with you my recent article "Temple Diplomacy, Sacred Rites, and Overseas Chinese During the Reign of Song Emperor Zhenzong (997–1022)," which is available for free (open access) at the following link: https://www.mdpi.com/2077-1444/15/11/1401/pdf I believe some of the topics in this article might be of interest to scholars on this listserv. This article is published in a special issue of the journal Religions, titled Beyond the 'Spice Routes': Indic and Sinitic Religions across the Asian Maritime Realm (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/religions/special_issues/9P1M8049VT). Wish you all the very best, Gregory Sattler
