Peking: Temples and City Life, 1400 to 1900, Susan Naquin's 2000 study from the University of California Press, is a major scholarly history of temples and urban religious life in the imperial capital. Its strength is that it is a peer-reviewed academic monograph drawing on extensive archival research. Its limit is that its focus is Peking specifically across five centuries, so it should not be read as a general account of Chinese temple religion outside that city.
