The paper discusses the development and changes of China’s scholars’research on the religious beliefs of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia during the past 40 years of Reform and Opening-up in four categories:religious beliefs and economy,religious beliefs and politics,religious beliefs and society,and religious beliefs and culture.Religious beliefs and economy mainly focus on religious beliefs and economy of industry and commerce,religious beliefs and modernization of overseas Chinese hometown and economic purposes of religious beliefs.Religious beliefs and politics primarily pay attention to religious beliefs and assimilation as well as religious beliefs and public diplomacy.Religious beliefs and society chiefly include religious beliefs and the cultural adaptation,religious beliefs and Chinese communities,and religious beliefs and the interaction of transnational societies.Religious beliefs and culture mostly study religious beliefs and the dissemination of culture,religious beliefs and Chinese art.The paper demonstrates that three directions for the study of religious beliefs about overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia can be further explored,clarified,and strengthened:the connotation of religious beliefs of overseas Chinese,the academic value of research materials,and the study of religious beliefs of female immigrants.
