Chief Editors: Ru Xin, Lu Xueyi, Li Peilin deputy Chief Editors: Chen Guangjin, Li Wei and Xu Xinxin The year 2008 marked a historical turning point for China, with the 30th anniversary of the launch of Chinas opening and reform policy, and the Olympic Games in Beijing. On a negative note, the year was also marked by the Sichuan earthquake and the subprime mortgage crisis in the uSa. China maintained a growth rate of 10% from 2003 to 2007, and began to adjust its industrial structures, shift development modes, and reform the urban-rural duality. China also increased its investment in employment, education, healthcare, social security, and public service sectors, especially in rural areas. The international economic crisis has however dragged down the international economic situation, in response to which the Chinese government is aiming to invest RMB 4 trillion over the next two years to confront this major challenge. Chinas economic and social development situation in 2009 will have major significance in the drafting of future economic policy.

Chinese Film and Newsreel Scripts from the Cultural Revolution Online
Produced mostly by the Central Newsreel and Documentary Film Studio of China, documentary films and newsreels were two of the major mass media and communication channels in China from the 1950s through the 1970s. They covered all aspects of social activities, though the emphasis was on developments and achievements in the building of a socialist country. In order to reach even broader public audiences, government agents produced and printed the transcripts and shot lists for the films and sent them to cities and rural areas. The bulk of the items in the collection are transcripts for the documentary films and newsreels from the Cultural Revolution, 1966-1976. Few of these printed materials have survived due to the poor quality of the paper upon which they were printed. All documents in the collection are in Chinese.

During this so-called treaty century (1842-1943) the Great Western Powers established a strong presence in China through their protected enclaves in the major cities. Published in Shanghai, at the heart of Chinas dealing with the Euro-american world and a city at the forefront of developments in Chinese politics, culture, education and the economy. as the official journal for British consular notifications, and announcements of the Shanghai Municipal Council, it is the first and sometimes only point of reference for information and comment on a range of foreign and Chinese activities. Regularly it also features translations of Chinese official notifications and news. The Herald had correspondents across the whole of China. These supplied a constant stream of news of an incredible variety, such as, apart from news and gossip reflecting the social, cultural and political life of the foreign settlements; trade statistics, stock prices, Chinese news, essays on Chinese culture and language, law reports from foreign courts in the settlements, company reports, news on foreign social, cultural and political life, maps, cartoons, photographs, stock prices and law and company reports, advertisements, tables of tea, silk and cotton exports, or long-forgotten facts about missionaries, birth, marriage, and death announcements, facts about other foreign nationals the French, Danish, Italian, German, Dutch, and so on. Although a thriving treaty port press developed over the century of the foreign presence, no other newspaper existed over such an extended period, and covers it in such incredible depth and variety. The dense unindexed columns of the Herald offer therefore an indispensable, still largely unexplored treasure-trove for any scholar of modern Chinese history. War, revolution and politics have conspired to destroy library holdings or frustrate access to publications from Chinas treaty century. The fully text-searchable North China Herald online will be one of the primary resources on a period which continues to shape much of Chinas world and worldview.

Our earlier announcement on our publication in 2011 of Brills online, full-text searchable North China Herald, has met with enthusiastic response from scholars and librarians alike. The massive interest shown in the project has made us feel the need for the presentation of the larger context in which the digitization of the North China Herald will take place, and for some reassessment of our original offer. We are happy to announce the following.
Brills East asian archives Collection (1850s-1950s)
The online North China Herald is the first step towards a larger, unique collection of online historical newspaper and other materials in the English language from and/or on East asia, from the early 1850s into the 1950s. Thus the collection will comprise news from China, Japan and Korea including, roughly, the period of the Korean War. Researchers will be able not only to research detailed news on individuals and events first-hand, but also to lay bare the longer lines of the social, cultural and economic history of this fast-changing region often at war with Western powers, often with itself. The order in which the materials are being digitized is determined by an international editorial board in close cooperation with the publisher. if available we shall offer full runs of newspapers only.

China in European Encyclopaedias, 1700-1850

Georg Lehner
This book shows how knowledge about China became part of European general knowledge. it examines English, French, and German encyclopaedias published between 1700 and 1850 and explores the use and presentation of information on China in works of general knowledge. The first chapters explore the origins of early European perceptions of China until 1850, the development of European encyclopaedias, and the sources used for entries on China. The second major part of the book examines the ways in which encyclopaedias presented information on things Chinese (geography, government, economy, history, language and literature, arts and sciences) and how this information was shaped, expanded, perpetuated, revised, and updated.

A Soup for the Qan: Chinese dietary Medicine of the Mongol Era As Seen in Hu Sihuis Yinshan Zhengyao

With an appendix by Charles Perry In the early 14th century, a court nutritionist called Hu Sihui wrote his Yinshan Zhengyao, a dietary and nutritional manual for the Chinese Mongol Empire. Hu Sihui, a man apparently with a Turkic linguistic background, included recipes, descriptions of food items, and dietary medical lore including selections from ancient texts, and thus reveals to us the full extent of an amazing cross-cultural dietary; here recipes can be found from as far as arabia, iran, india and elsewhere, next to those of course from Mongolia and China. Although the medical theories are largely Chinese, they clearly show near Eastern and Central asian influence. This long-awaited expanded and revised edition of the much-acclaimed A Soup for the Qan sheds (yet) new light on our knowledge of west asian influence on China during the medieval period, and on the Mongol Empire in general.

Tradition and Modernity

A Humanist View
Chen Lai
Translated by Edmund Ryden The Question for Twentieth-Century China has been the integration of tradition and modernity. In this collection of essays written over a period of some twenty years (1987-2006), Chen Lai reflects on the question in an informative and original way. He reads behind the political slogans and engages with the thought both of Max Weber, Talcott Parsons and Western sociology, and representative Chinese thinkers, notably Feng Youlan and Liang Shuming. While the focus is on China, the book also appeals to anyone interested in this fascinating question of how to modernize, whilst retaining the positive values of tradition. Chen Lais unique and balanced grasp of society marks him out as the foremost thinker in China on this topic today.

Touches of History: an Entry into May Fourth China

Chen Pingyuan Translated by Michel Hockx, with Maria af Sandeberg, uganda Sze Pui Kwan, Christopher Neil Payne and Christopher Rosenmeier
The May Fourth Movement of 1919 is generally seen as the central event in Chinas transformation from the traditional to the modern. it signaled the arrival of effective student activism on the political scene and heralded the success of outspoken anti-imperialist ideologies. Its slogans and pamphlets demonstrated the rhetorical qualities of the new vernacular writing; while some of its participants went on to become leading cultural and political figures. it is said to have given birth to the Communist Party. The latter aspect has ensured that a particular narrative of the movement remained enshrined in official Chinese state ideology for many decades, a narrative often opposed by those outside China for similarly ideological reasons. No movement in modern Chinese history and culture has been more researched, yet none has been less understood. This award-winning book represents a groundbreaking attempt to return to a study of May Fourth that is solidly grounded in historical fact. Favoring smaller stories over grand narratives, concentrating on unknown, marginal materials rather than familiar key documents, and highlighting May Fourths indebtedness to the cultural debates of the preceding late Qing period, Chen Pingyuan reconstructs part of the actual historical scenery, demonstrating the great variety of ideas expressed during those tumultuous decades.

A History of Contemporary Chinese Literature

Hong Zicheng Translated by Michael M. Day
This groundbreaking book covers the literary scene in China during the period 1949-1999, primarily focusing on fiction, poetry, drama, and prose writing. The first section of the book deals with the 1949-1976 period. Often derided and ignored as an arid era for literature by both Chinese and overseas critics, Professor Hong describes the literature that was popular and officially acceptable at the time, and the cultural policies and political campaigns that shaped the tastes of readers and the literary creativity of writers during the period. This part of the book is remarkable for Professor Hongs candidness and open-mindedness, qualities that would have made this text difficult to publish at an earlier date in China. Furthermore, the platform that the first part of the text provides renders the second part even more understandable to readers unfamiliar with the post-1976 literary scene and offers new insights to those who are familiar with it demonstrating as it does the close links between the two distinctive eras. These links are provided by the resumption of literary traditions that had been more-or-less abandoned during the preceding ten-year period, as well as reactions against literature nurtured and guided by the state cultural apparatus. The second part of the book consists of a comprehensive description of developments and insightful explanations of those developments in the literary arts and literary criticism since 1976. A unique and much needed accomplishment in contemporary literary studies. Reprinted sixteen times since its publication in the PRC in 1999, it is now finally available in English.

There has also grown a new consciousness of identity following the emergence of China as a modern state and the expansion of a global economy. This series aims to study the people and institutions that shaped these identities and how these entities interact with other people, institutions, and communities. It seeks to bring together scholarly work that examines the spectrum of historical experiences, the writings that capture the quality of migrant lives, and the manifold responses to changing social environments. brill.nl/cho ISSN: 1876-3847

The existing literature on Chinese Indonesians has tended to take an approach of either victimization and marginalization, or a focus on elite businessmen and their economic influence. This volume takes a different perspective. The Chinese in indonesia were not only innocent victims of history, but were simultaneously active agents of change. Chinese Indonesians from different walks of life played an active role in shaping society during regime changes and found creative and constructive ways to deal with situations of adversity. This book demonstrates that regime changes in indonesia did not only pose threats of violence, but also offered opportunities that induced agency on the part of Chinese Indonesians to shape their own destinies and that of the country.

Linking an Asian Transregional Commerce in Tea

Overseas Chinese Merchants in the Fujian-Singapore Trade, 1920-1960
Jason Lim, National University of Singapore
Current historical work on the international tea trade has focused on the Sino-British trade and the impact of capitalism and modern technology on tea production in India and Ceylon. These studies have overlooked the changes that were afoot in the Fujian tea industry and the problems with conducting the trade with the overseas Chinese in Southeast asia. using the Fujian-Singapore trade as an illustration and drawing on Chinese-language archival materials, this book looks at the state of tea production in Fujian; the overseas Chinese tea merchants and the fluctuations of the trade during the period of political instability in China; the Sino-Japanese War; decolonization in Singapore; and the period of collectivization in China and the Cold War.

Chinese and Chinese Mestizos of Manila

Family, Identity, and Culture, 1860s-1930s
Richard T. Chu, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
For centuries, the Chinese have been intermarrying with inhabitants of the Philippines, resulting in a creolized community of Chinese mestizos under the Spanish colonial regime. In contemporary Philippine society, the Chinese are seen as a racialized Other while descendants from early Chinese-Filipino intermarriages as Filipino. Previous scholarship attributes this development to the identification of Chinese mestizos with the equally Hispanicized and Catholic indios. Building on works in Chinese transnationalism and cultural anthropology, this book examines the everyday practices of Chinese merchant families in Manila from the 1860s to the 1930s. The result is a fascinating study of how families and individuals creatively negotiate their identities in ways that challenge our understanding of the genesis of ethnic identities in the Philippines. [This book] helps contribute to the revision of the existing literature on the Chinese and Chinese mestizos with a new perspective that highlights the emerging field of transnational studies. auGuSTO ESPiRiTu, university of illinois at urbana-Champaign the author does an outstanding job and we recommend that citizens of the Philippine nation, whether they see themselves as Chinese or Filipino would do well to read this work and understand the origins of the racial stereotypes that influence the way they look at particular members of Philippine society, particularly in Manila.

Edited by Christoph Harbsmeier, Bjarke Frellesvig, Michael Lackner, Alain Peyraube, Michael Puett and Rudolf Wagner Conceptual History and Chinese Linguistics seeks to publish and inspire philologically based research in the form of monographs and edited volumes on conceptual history and cultural keywords in a broad sense. These are taken to refer not only to word history, but explicitly also to the history of guiding ideas and dominating conceptual schemes in any social, political, scientific, philosophical, cultural, or psychological context. Within the closely related fields of linguistics and conceptual history, the editors wish to encourage and publish original research on the asymmetric cultural flows and language contacts in and with East asian cultures, languages and civilisations, in which Chinas influence can hardly ever be overlooked. in a comparative spirit, volumes can focus on any East asian language or dialect. Original work on languages such as Japanese, Korean or Vietnamese will be particularly welcome. Chronologically, the series covers both pre-modern and modern themes. brill.nl/chcl ISSN: 2210-2884
Word-class Flexibility in Classical Chinese

Verbal and Adverbial Uses of Nouns
CHInA STUDIES
Luk Zdrapa, Charles University, Prague

The apparent flexibility of words in Classical Chinese with respect to traditional word classes has always posed a problem in the description of this language and has caused much misunderstanding. Moreover, it has been long understudied, along with the closely related theory of Classical Chinese word classes. This work seeks to summarize previous research on this issue, re-orientate the discourse and construe a new interpretative paradigm that would lead to a more complex and realistic view. It is principally based on a multi-disciplinary approach and supported by the theoretical framework of cognitive linguistics. The study deals with the very conception of word classes, but its focus lies in the analysis of verbal and adverbial functions of nouns.

Edited by Hans ulrich Vogel, Tbingen University and Gnter Dux, Freiburg University, with an overview and introduction by Mark Elvin This book, inspired by the sociologist Gnter dux, co-edited by the historian Hans ulrich Vogel, and introduced by Mark Elvin, is a collective intellectual masterpiece written by some of the worlds leading scholars. Its purpose is to illuminate pre-modern Chinese ways of thinking about nature by comparing them with their counterpart traditions in Europe. in so doing, it also subtly reshapes our understanding of pre-modern European concepts of the natural world. The domains covered principally include philosophy, language, poetry, science, and mathematics, and their relations with society, technology, and politics. By analyzing the frequent partial similarities between these great two cultural areas in the context of their overall contrasts, it points the way for the first time to defining accurately the differences that have been critical for world history.

dong Zhongshu, a Confucian Heritage and the Chunqiu fanlu

Michael Loewe
intellectual developments of the Western Han dynasty (202 BCE - 9 CE) have been studied hitherto on the assumptions that a system described as Confucianism acquired paramount importance and that dong Zhongshu (ca. 198 to ca. 107 BCE) had been responsible for formulating its principles. In challenging these assumptions, this book examines Dongs career and reputation, and his supposed authorship of the Chunqiu fanlu, for long subject to question. It is concluded that while some parts of that text may well represent the teachings that dong Zhongshu promoted, some may perhaps date from as late as 79 CE; still others bear an affinity to writings which, banned as being suspect or potentially subversive, survive in no more than fragmentary form.

Sherman Xiaogang Lai, University of Oxford
Did the Chinese Communists use money or banking systems during their struggle for national power? In the West, this question was not answered, or even raised, for sixty years after the Communists took over China in 1949. This book examines the Communists revenue and supply system during the Japanese occupation in Shandong, a coastal province in northern China. It explores how the Communists manipulated currency exchange rates to turn trade within the occupied zones into their principal source of revenue and transform the Japanese army and navy into their most important customers. Thus enabling them to stockpile the materials needed for the race against the Nationalists into Manchuria, Chinas only industrialized area, immediately after Japans surrender.

Sovereign Power and the Law in China

Zones of Exception in the Criminal Justice System
Flora Sapio, University La Sapienza, Rome
In China the coexistence of arbitrary detention and a transition towards a rule of law is either seen as an oxymoron, or as an aberration. This book analyses under-researched institutions and practices in Chinas criminal justice system, arguing that derogations from the rule of law constitute an organic component of the legal order. Hidden behind the law, there lies sovereign power, a power premised on the choice to handle certain issues through procedures that derogate from rights. This theoretically sophisticated study overcomes the current impasses in analyses of Chinas criminal justice. The result is an highly innovative reading of law and legality in the PRC, useful to scholars of contemporary China, mainstream political theorists, philosophers of law and policy makers.

Community Matters in Xinjiang: 1880-1949

CHInA STUDIES
Towards a Historical Anthropology of the Uyghur

Ildik Bellr-Hann, Martin-Luther University, Halle/Wittenberg
Based on a wide range of Western and local materials, this book offers an introduction to the historical anthropology of the Muslim uyghur of Xinjiang from the late 19th century to 1949. The author argues that social relations in this era were shaped at all levels by the principles of reciprocity and community. Particular attention is paid to the domestic domain and to life-cycle and religious rituals. This is the first time that Xinjiang has been approached from the perspective of historical anthropology. Giving substance to the concept of tradition which modern uyghurs invoke when constructing their collective identity, Bellr-Hanns study also has implications for contemporary analyses of inter-ethnic relations in this sensitive region.

different Worlds of discourse

Transformations of Gender and Genre in Late Qing and Early Republican China
Edited by Nanxiu Qian, Rice University, Grace S. Fong, McGill University and Richard J. Smith, Rice University during the late Qing reform era (1895-1912), women for the first time in Chinese history emerged in public space in collective groups. They assumed new social and educational roles and engaged in intense debates about the place of women in Chinas present and future. These debates found expression in new media, including periodicals and pictorials, which not only harnessed the power of existing cultural forms but also encouraged experimentation with a variety of new literary genres and styles works increasingly produced by and for Chinese women. Different Worlds of Discourse explores the reform period from three interrelated and comparatively neglected perspectives: the construction of gender roles, the development of literary genres, and the emergence of new forms of print media.

State and Ethnicity in Chinas Southwest

Xiaolin Guo, Institute for Security and Development Policy, Stockholm
Twentieth century China has seen local societies undergo unprecedented transformations accompanied by a remarkable continuity in state practice. In this path-breaking study of two ethnically different communities, the matrilineal Mosuo and the patrilineal Han, in northwest Yunnan province, the author traces cultural change from a historical perspective in relation to the ecological environment and political systems. The treatment of state penetration into local society challenges the conventional binary narratives of state-society and Han/non-Han relations. With its interdisciplinary approach, the book enriches the anthropology of China by framing ethnicity issues in terms of local politics and inter-relationships between levels of government, and at the same time extends the analytical perimeter of the study of the Chinese state to the national periphery.

Words and Their Stories

Essays on the Language of the Chinese Revolution
Edited by Wang Ban, Stanford University As China joins the capitalist world economy, the problems of social disintegration that gave rise to the earlier revolutionary social movements are becoming pressing. Instead of viewing the Chinese Revolution as an academic study, these essays suggest that the motifs of the Revolution are still alive and relevant. The slogan Farewell to Revolution that obscures the revolutionary language is premature. In spite of dislocations and ruptures in the revolutionary language, to rethink this discourse is to revisit a history in terms of sedimented layers of linguistic meanings and political aspirations. Earlier meanings of revolutionary words may persist or coexist with non-revolutionary rivals. Recovery of the vital uses of key revolutionary words proffers critical alternatives in which contemporary capitalist myths can be contested.

Payne, Institute of Buddhist Studies in Berkeley in all likelihood, it was the form of Buddhism labeled Esoteric Buddhism that had the greatest geographical spread of any form of Buddhism. It left its imprint not only on its native India, but far beyond, on Southeast Asia, Central Asia, including Tibet and Mongolia, as well as the East asian countries China, Korea and Japan. not only has Esoteric Buddhism contributed substantially to the development of Buddhism in many cultures, but it also facilitated the transmission of religious art and material culture, science and technology. This volume, the result of an international collaboration of forty scholars, provides a comprehensive resource on Esoteric Buddhism and the Tantras in their Chinese, Korean, and Japanese contexts from the first few centuries of the common era right up to the present.

Historical Introduction to the Return of the Gods
Kenneth Dean, McGill University and ZHEnG Zhenman, Xiamen University
Making ingenious use of a wide variety of sources, and old as well as modern technical resources, Kenneth dean and Zheng Zhenman here set a new standard for an histoire totale for a coherently well-defined cultural region in China. at the same time it deals in-depth with the ongoing negotiation of modernity in Chinese village rituals. Over the past thirty years, local popular religion has been revived and re-invented in the villages of the irrigated alluvial plain of Putian, Fujian, China. Volume 1 provides a historical introduction to the formation of 153 regional ritual alliances made up of 724 villages. Early popular cults, Ming lineages, Qing multi-village alliances, late Qing spirit-medium associations, 20th century state attacks on local religion, and the role of Overseas Chinese and local communities in rebuilding the temple networks are discussed.

Local Religion in North China in the Twentieth Century

The Structure and Organization of Community Rituals and Beliefs
Daniel L. Overmyer
This book is a comprehensive survey of the structure, organization and institutionalization of local community religious traditions in north China villages in the twentieth century. These traditions have their own forms of leaders, deities and beliefs. Despite much local variation one everywhere finds similar temples, images, offerings and temple festivals, all supported by practical concerns for divine aid to deal with the problems of everyday life. These local traditions are a structure in the history of Chinese religions; they have a clear sense of their own integrity and rules, handed down by their ancestors. There are daoist, Buddhist and government influences on these traditions, but they must be adapted to the needs of local communities. It is the villagers who build temples and organize festivals, in which all members of the community are expected to participate and contribute. With chapters on such topics as historical origins and development, leadership and organization, temple festivals, temples and deities, and beliefs and values.

Edited by John Lagerwey, cole Pratique des Hautes tudes, Paris and Marc Kalinowski, cole Pratique des Hautes tudes, Paris Together, and for the first time in any language, the 24 essays gathered in these volumes provide a composite picture of the history of religion in ancient China from the emergence of writing ca. 1250 BC to the collapse of the first major imperial dynasty in 220 ad. it is a multi-faceted tale of changing gods and rituals that includes the emergence of a form of secular humanism that doubts the existence of the gods and the efficacy of ritual and of an imperial orthodoxy that founds its legitimacy on a distinction between licit and illicit sacrifices. Written by specialists in a variety of disciplines, the essays cover such subjects as divination and cosmology, exorcism and medicine, ethics and self-cultivation, mythology, taboos, sacrifice, shamanism, burial practices, iconography, and political philosophy. Produced under the aegis of the Centre de recherche sur les civilisations chinoise, japonaise et tibtaine (uMR 8155) and the cole Pratique des Hautes tudes, Paris.

Edited by John Lagerwey, cole Pratique des Hautes tudes, Paris and L Pengzhi, cole franaise dExtrme-Orient After the Warring States, treated in Part One of this set, there is no more fecund era in Chinese religious and cultural history than the period of division (220-589 AD). During it, Buddhism conquered China, Daoism grew into a mature religion with independent institutions, and, together with Confucianism, these three teachings, having each won its share of state recognition and support, formed a united front against shamanism. While all four religions are covered, Buddhism and Daoism receive special attention in a series of parallel chapters on their pantheons, rituals, sacred geography, community organization, canon formation, impact on literature, and recent archaeological discoveries. This multi-disciplinary approach, without ignoring philosophical and theological issues, brings into sharp focus the social and historical matrices of Chinese religion.

Early Buddhist art of China and Central asia

Volume 1, Later Han, Three Kingdoms and Western Chin in China and Bactria to Shan-shan in Central Asia
Marylin Martin Rhie, Smith College
The earliest Buddhist art of China can only be understood when seen in relation to a wider area comprising Central Asia and India. Presenting the earliest Buddhist art of China in its wider context of the Bactrian and Southern Silk Road regions in Central Asia (1st to 4th century A.D.), the author offers clarifications of the issues and new assessments regarding the cross-cultural and cross-regional interrelationships, sources, dating and chronology during these formative initial phases of Buddhism from India to China. With over 500 illustrations, 18 in full colour, 76 drawings and 14 maps, the book offers not only an overview of this complex and important period, but also the fullest and most detailed analysis of the art: individually, within its local region, and in relation to the wider, trans-Asian scope essential for a proper understanding of this period for a wide range of disciplines.

The second volume of Marylin Rhies widely acclaimed and formative multi-volume work presents a comprehensive, scholarly and detailed study of the Buddhist art of China and Central asia from 316-439 a.d. during the formative early periods of Buddhism in the Eastern Chin and Sixteen Kingdoms Period. using texts translated from the Chinese together with stylistic and technical analyses, the chronology and sources of the art are more clearly defined than in previous studies for the regions of South and North China (other than Kansu) and the important sites of Tumshuk, Kucha and Karashahr on the Northern Silk Route in eastern Central Asia. Furthermore, by incorporating extensive religious and historical materials, this work not only contributes to clarifying the regional characteristics of the art, but also offers new insights into the broader, interregional relationships of this politically fragmented period.

This book, third in a series on the early Buddhist art of China and Central Asia, centers on Buddhist art from the Western Chin (385-431 A.D.) in eastern Kansu (northwest China), primarily from the cave temples of Ping-ling ssu and Mai-chi shan. A detailed chronological and iconographic study of sculptures and wall paintings in Cave 169 at Ping-ling ssu particularly yields a chronological framework for unlocking the difficult issues of dating early fifth century Chinese Buddhist art, and offers some new insights into textual sources in the Lotus, Hua-yen and amitabha sutras. Further, this study introduces the iconographpy of the five Buddhas and its relation to the art of Gandhara and the famous five colossal Tan-yao caves at Yn-kang.

Edited by Martin Kern, Princeton University, Robert E. Hegel, Washington University, St. Louis and ding Xiang Warner, Cornell University The new series Studies in the History of Chinese Texts provides a venue for scholarly monographs or edited volumes that focus on the formation and subsequent reception history of major works in the Chinese textual tradition. Works in the series can be devoted to a single text or to specific historical phenomena such as those of manuscript and print culture, the rise of particular genres of commentary, the impact of cultural and social institutions on a texts transmission and reception, and others more. The series encourages rigorous philological and historical scholarship that illuminates the history of specific texts in relation to socio-historical, material, and intellectual aspects of the Chinese written tradition. The scope of the series ranges from newly excavated manuscripts of pre-imperial China to questions of textual reception in the 20th century. brill.nl/hct ISSN: 1877-9425
Statecraft and Classical Learning

The Rituals of Zhou in East Asian History
Edited by Benjamin a. Elman, Princeton University and Martin Kern, Princeton University Statecraft and Classical Learning is devoted to the Rituals of Zhou, one of the ancient Chinese Classics. In addition to its canonical stature in classical learning, the massive text was of unique significance to the pre-modern statecraft of China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam where it served as the classical paradigm for government structure and was often invoked in movements of political reform. The present volume, with contributions from twelve leading north american, European, and East asian scholars, is the first in any language to illuminate the Rituals in both dimensions. It presents a multi-faceted and fascinating picture of the life of the text from its inception some two millennia ago to its modern political and scholarly discourse.

Not only does this approach present an idealised account of Chinas intellectual past, but it also imposes artificial boundaries between textual and philosophical traditions. as the first study to treat text as a cultural phenomenon during the Warring States period, this book demonstrates the interplay among the material conditions of text and manuscript culture, writing, and thought. Through close readings of philosophical texts excavated at Gudin, it analyses crucial strategies of meaning construction and casts light on the ways in which different communities used texts to philosophical ends. Meyer thus establishes new understandings of the correlation between ideas, their material carrier, and the production of meaning in early China.

Ideas, History and Modern China

Edited by Ban WANG, Stanford University, WANG Hui, Tsinghua University and Geremie BaRM, Australian National University With Chinas economic boom, continuous political stability, and increasing influence, it is time to ask if the trajectories of the Chinese Revolution its troubled interaction with the world market, its national independence movements, its pursuit of egalitarianism, communism, and socialism, and its post-socialist reform could be understood as a meaningful and consistent historical experience. it is important now to see how Chinas past efforts have contributed or obstructed its progress since the Qing empire was thrust into the international system of nation-states in the late 19th century. This series aims to place the study of China in the contexts of the international system of nation-states, global capitalist and market expansion, imperialist rivalry, the Cold War, and recent waves of economic globalization. It welcomes analytical attempts to frame intellectual, historical, and cultural analysis conducive to dialectical relations between these categories. Ideas will not be studied in the abstract but be set in motion and intertwined with praxis through analysis of historical contexts and enriched by close analysis of aesthetic texts, such as literature, narratives, and phenomena of everyday life. brill.nl/ihmc ISSN: 1875-9394
Liberal Cosmopolitan
CHInA STUDIES
Lin Yutang and Middling Chinese Modernity

Qian Suoqiao, City University of Hong Kong
Chinese modernity discourses have been dominated by nationalism and revolutionary radicalism in much of the 20th century, but liberal cosmopolitanism has always been an important force in modern Chinese intellectuality, though a much neglected topic in modern Chinese studies. This book is a cross-cultural critique on the problem of the liberal cosmopolitan in modern Chinese intellectuality in light of Lin Yutangs literary and cultural practices across China and America. It includes comparative reference to other discourses of major literary and intellectual figures such as Zhang Zhidong, Liang Qichao, Gu Hongming, Hu Shi, Lu Xun, Zhou Zuoren, Pearl S. Buck, agnes Smedley and Edgar Snow. it also demonstrates that a liberal cosmopolitan road, which suggests a middling Chinese modernity, is both possible and desirable.

If culture, in the form values, ideals, and ideological struggles, plays a key role in Chinas latest round of social transformations, what are the cultural legacies and resources that are at play and in what ways they do so? This collection of essays aims at addressing these questions. Written by some of the leading intellectuals and thinkers, in and outside of contemporary China, these essays, in different ways, re-examine and reflect on the extent to which three major cultural legacies, namely traditional, May Fourth, and socialist, can function as cultural resources under the changed and changing social and economic conditions of the reform era.

Configurations of the Real in Chinese Literary and Aesthetic Modernity

Peter Button, McGill University
The emergence of the Chinese socialist realist novel can best be understood in light of the half-century long formation of the modern concept of literature in China. Globalized in the wake of modern capitalism, literary modernity configures the literary text in a relationship to both modern philosophy and literary theory. This book traces Chinas unique, complex, and creative articulation of literary modernity beginning with Lu Xuns The True Story of Ah Q. Cai Yis aesthetic theory of the type (dianxing) and the image (xingxiang) is then explored in relation to global currents in literary thought and philosophy, making possible a fundamental rethinking of Chinese socialist realist novels like Yang Mos Song of Youth and Luo Guangbin and Yan Yiyans Red Crag.

The 1980s social and economic reform and opening up in China has involved limited devolution of power, the localization of fiscal responsibilities and a relaxation of many cultural and some religious prohibitions. By then, however, many aspects of society had undergone far-reaching alterations through the upheavals of the Maoist revolutionary era. The first part of the study investigates the changing resonance of idioms of identification as bases for social inclusion and political mobilization. The second half explores how key social concepts are elaborated in the contexts of ritual practice, modernity and media. The author argues that Trindu is intimately bound up with, and has ramifications for, Chinas nation-state politics, and others within that nation-state, and cannot be understood without primary reference to that politics.

Democracy and the Rule of Law in China is intended to make available to English-language readers debates among prominent Chinese intellectuals and academics over issues of political, constitutional, and legal reform; modes of governance in urban and rural China; and culture and cultural policy. Chinas unprecedented economic development following the implementation of the Reform and Opening policy has drawn widespread international attention; yet accompanying political developments have been largely overlooked. a compilation of the works of twelve contemporary Chinese scholars, this book offers unique insights into the wealth of viewpoints and diversity of issues influencing and defining the development of democracy and the rule of law in China. Based on theoretical and practical analyses of Chinas political development to date, the authors propose specific models for the expansion of democratic mechanisms already present in the current political structure. Exploring topics ranging from autonomous village governance and grassroots elections to constitutional reform and judicial independence, the authors are unified on one point: Chinas political development must pursue a gradual, distinctly-Chinese course in order to promote social stability, continued economic advancement, and the establishment of a socialist democratic society.
Globalization and Changes in Chinas Governance

Yu Keping, China Center for Comparative Politics and Economics
China has witnessed great economic, political and societal changes since the reform and opening up in 1978. As Chinas economic system has been experiencing fundamental changes, Chinas structure of governance has also been substantially altered in response to globalization. a unique model of political development is underway in China, which differs considerably from those conceived under both traditional socialist and liberal Western models. Globalization and Changes in Chinas Governance, now available in English translation, tackles these issues of global importance through the analytical prowess of one of Chinas leading intellectuals. This volume is an essential resource for readers tracking the rapid changes in Chinas political and economic systems and for those interested in the work of public intellectuals in the PRC.

It aims to become the series of choice for prospective authors of studies on Modern Chinese philosophy writing on topics in New Confucian philosophy, modern Buddhist philosophy, Chinese Marxist philosophy, modern Daoist philosophy, as well as works of a comparative nature. It will be catholic in its judgement of what constitutes Chinese philosophy, adopting the norms favoured by Chinese scholars and intellectuals, as well as those adopted in the Western academy. brill.nl/mcp ISSN: 1875-9386

Liang Shuming (1895-1988) is one of the most important Chinese philosophers in twentieth century China. Generally considered to be a Confucian, and even the last Confucian, the author argues that he was in fact a Buddhist. Liangs thoughts are analysed within the background of the intellectual debates on religion in republican China. He reshaped the Western concept of religion from the standpoint of Yogcra Buddhism. Yet, he advocated for the present time Confucianism as the ethical religion that would lead ultimately to the Buddhist liberation. Examining Liangs religious belief sheds new light on his fascinating life, particularly his involvement in the Rural Reconstruction movement of the nineteen-thirties. It also explains why Liang was the only intellectual who dared to publically oppose Mao in the nineteen-sixties and seventies.

The unlikely Buddhologist

Tiantai Buddhism in Mou Zongsans New Confucianism
Jason T. Clower, California State University, Chico
Mou Zongsan (1909-1995) was such a seminal, polymathic figure that scholars of asian philosophy and religion will be absorbing his influence for at least a generation. drawing on expertise in Confucian, Buddhist, Daoist, and modern Western thought, Mou built a system of New Confucian philosophy aimed at answering one of the great questions: What is the relationship between value and being? However, though Mou acknowledged that he derived his key concepts from Tiantai Buddhist philosophy, it remains unclear exactly how and why he did so. In response, this book investigates Mous buddhological writings in the context of his larger corpus and explains how and why he incorporated Buddhist ideas selectively into his system. Written extremely accessible, it provides a comprehensive unpacking of Mous ideas about Buddhism, Confucianism, and metaphysics with the precision needed to make them available for critical appraisal.

Religion in Chinese Societies
Religion in Chinese Societies

Edited by Kenneth Dean, McGill University, Richard Madsen, University of California, San Diego and David Palmer, University of Hong Kong Since the end of the late twentieth century, religion in all its varied forms has come to play an increasingly visible and dynamic role in the transformation of Chinese societies. This vitality of religious practice challenges the secularization theories that are at the heart of modern social science and it directs renewed attention to the role of religion throughout Chinese history. This series features monographs and edited volumes investigating the full range of religious practices in all Chinese societies, including Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau, Taiwan, as well as overseas Chinese communities throughout Southeast Asia and elsewhere. It includes research from all disciplines in the social sciences and humanities that describes, documents, and interprets religious practices, beliefs, and the many forms of religious community in Chinese societies. brill.nl/rics ISSN: 1877-6264
Chinas Creation and Origin Myths

Cross-cultural Explorations in Oral and Written Traditions
CHInA STUDIES
Edited by Mineke Schipper, Leiden University, Ye Shuxian, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and Yin Hubin How did the world begin? How were the first people created and which specific roles were they supposed to play in the cosmos? Like other mythologies worldwide, Chinas creation and origin myths explain how man created order out of chaos and imposed culture on nature. Cross-cultural approaches to myth make us aware of the limitations of our own familiar classifications. This book makes a provocative case for the comparative study of the hidden treasures of Chinas oral and written myth traditions in different languages and cultures, a legacy generously left behind by singers, storytellers, poets, and writers. This book opens new doors to the study of Chinese mythologies, a surprising and so far almost unknown world outside China.

Social Scientific Studies of Religion in China

Methodology, Theories, and Findings
Edited by Fenggang Yang, Purdue University and Graeme Lang, City University of Hong Kong The revival of religious belief and practice in China over the past thirty years, after decades of severe repression, has attracted much attention by scholars. Social scientific studies of religion by mainland Chinese scholars has also increased in recent years, using theories and methods developed mainly outside China. Increasingly, mainland scholars are also debating whether theories and concepts developed in western societies are fully appropriate for the study of religion in Chinese societies. This volume presents a selection of papers by sociologists, anthropologists, and historians of religion on these themes. The chapters include rich field studies of particular religions and religious activities, along with theoretical and historical reflections by scholars inside and outside China on problems and opportunities in the revival of the social scientific study of religion in Chinese societies.

Religious Studies in Contemporary China Collection
Religious Studies in Contemporary China Collection

The Religious Studies in Contemporary China Collection (RSCC), co-published in cooperation with Minzu Press, makes Chinese scholarly research on religion available in English. This series includes six volumes of selected essays on the following topics: Popular Religion and Shamanism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, and Marxism and Religious Studies. The volumes in this series touch upon areas, such as popular religion, that are largely ignored in English language scholarship. These works are not only important to China scholars, but also serve as an invaluable resource for non-China specialists and students who are interested in Chinese history, religion and ethnicity. brill.nl/rscc
Popular Religion and Shamanism

Edited by Ma Xisha and Meng Huiying Popular Religion and Shamanism addresses two areas of religion within Chinese society; the lay teachings that Chinese scholars term folk or popular religion, and shamanism. Each area represents a distinct tradition of scholarship, and the book is therefore split into two parts. Part I: Popular Religion discusses the evolution of organized lay movements over an arc of ten centuries. Its eight chapters focus on three key points: the arrival and integration of new ideas before the Song dynasty, the coalescence of an intellectual and scriptural tradition during the Ming, and the efflorescence of new organizations during the late Qing. Part ii: Shamanism reflects the revived interest of scholars in traditional beliefs and culture that reemerged with the open policy in China that occurred in the 1970s. Two of the essays included in this section address shamanism in northeast China where the traditions played an important role in the cultures of the Manchu, Mongol, Sibe, daur, Oroqen, Evenki, and Hezhen. The other essay discusses divination rites in a local culture of southwest China. Both sections of Popular Religion and Shamanism will introduce Western readers to the ideas of Chinese scholars, not just their data.

Contemporary Chinese Fiction by Su Tong and Yu Hua

Coming of Age in Troubled Times
Hua Li, Montana State University
The book explores the coming-of-age fiction of two of the most critically acclaimed and frequently translated contemporary Chinese authors, Yu Hua and Su Tong. it is the first in-depth book-length treatise in English about the contemporary Chinese Bildungsroman. Although various individual contemporary Chinese novelists and individual works of Chinese fiction have previously been discussed under the rubric of the Bildungsroman, none of these efforts has approached the level of comprehensive and comparative analysis that this book brings to the genre and its social contexts in contemporary China. This book will pique the interests not only of scholars and students of Chinese and comparative literature, but also of historians and social scientists with an interest in the region.

The Novel and Theatrical Imagination in Early Modern China

Mei Chun, Central Washington University
The cultural fascination with and imagination of theater has long been overlooked as an important historical and literary context for reading Water Margin and Journey to the West. This study focuses on the concept of the theatrical to read those novels and their commentaries. Imbued with performances, playacting, spectacles, and spectatorship, the early modern theatrical novel borrowed heavily from theater to conflate the theatrical and the real, juggle theatrical roles, persons, and identities, and contest orthodoxies by challenging and appropriating sites of control and authority. This study showcases the theatrical novels unique position as a new form of literati self-representation in response to the destabilizing social and political forces of early modern China.

Edited by Lucille Chia, University of California, Riverside and Hilde De Weerdt, University of Oxford The essays in this volume seek to flesh out the diversity of Chinese textual production during the period spanning the tenth and fourteenth centuries when printing became a widely used technology. By exploring the social and political relations that shaped the production and reproduction of printed texts, the impact of intellectual and religious formations on book production, the interaction between print and other media, readership, and the growth of collections, the contributors offer the first comprehensive examination of the cultural history of book production in the first 500 years of the history of printing. in an afterword historian of the early modern European book, ann Blair, reflects on the volumes implications for the comparative study of the impact of printing.

Imperial Warlord
A Biography of Cao Cao 155-220 AD
Rafe de Crespigny, Australian National University
The warlord Cao Cao, founder of the Three Kingdoms state of Wei, is most commonly known through the romantic tradition of the novel Sanguo yanyi and other dramatic fictions, which portray him as cruel and vicious. in fact, however, Cao Cao was a fine strategist and politician who restored a measure of order after the political turmoil and civil war that brought the end of Han. The present work offers a detailed account of Cao Caos life and times, using historical materials and the mans own words from official proclamations and personal poetry. Exceptionally for such a distant time, there is sufficient information in the texts to provide a rounded interpretation of one of the great characters of early China.

The Language of the Sangleys

A Chinese Vernacular in Missionary Sources of the Seventeenth Century
Henning Klter, Ruhr University, Bochum
Handwritten in the seventeenth century, the Arte de la lengua chio chiu is the oldest extant grammar of the Chinese vernacular known as Southern Min or Hokkien, and a spectacular source text for present-day linguistics. Its author, a Spanish Dominican missionary, worked among the Chinese settlers in Manila or Sangleys. The first part of The Language of the Sangleys is an in-depth analysis of the Arte in its historical, social and linguistic contexts. The second part offers an annotated transcript and translation of the arte, including facsimiles of the original manuscript, making this study eminently fit for classroom use. Combining sophisticated theory and method with meticulous philology, The Language of the Sangleys presents a fascinating, new chapter in the history of Chinese and general linguistics.

From Woodblocks to the Internet

Chinese Publishing and Print Culture in Transition, circa 1800 to 2008
Edited by Cynthia Brokaw, Brown University and Christopher A. Reed, The Ohio State University The thirteen essays in this volume narrate and analyze the reciprocal influences of technological, intellectual, and sociopolitical changes on the structure of modern Chinas book (and print) trade. More specifically, they treat the rise of new genres of print, changes in writing practices, the dissemination of ideas and texts (both paper and electronic), the organization of knowledge, and the relationship between the state and print culture. The essays range chronologically from the late eighteenth century to the present, a two-century transition period that allows authors to draw comparisons between the largely woodblock print culture of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; the mechanized publishing of the late-nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries; and the global internet culture of today.

The Heavenly Court

CHInA STUDIES
Daoist Temple Painting in China, 1200-1400

Lennert Gesterkamp, Zhejiang University
One of the most magnificent and enduring themes in Chinese painting history can be found depicted in Daoist temples from the local village up to the very capital, viz. the paintings of the Heavenly Court (chaoyuan tu). Surprisingly, its images have remained largely unstudied in Western scholarship. Drawing on a comparative study of four complete sets of wall paintings dating back to the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries (the oldest examples), and their related images, painting criticism, stele inscriptions, and daoist ritual manuals, the author offers the first comprehensive study of the historical development, iconography, ritual context, methods of mural design, and the personalisations made by patrons of the four Heavenly Court paintings.

Xun Xu and the Politics of Precision in Third-Century AD China

Howard L. Goodman
This biography of the court scholar Xun Xu explores central areas of intellectual life in third-century China court lyrics, music, metrology, pitch systems, archeology, and historiography. it clarifies the relevant source texts in order to reveal fierce debates. Besides solving technical puzzles about the material details of court rites, the book unfolds factional struggles that developed into scholarly ones. Xuns opponents were major figures like Zhang Hua and Zhi Yu. Xun Xus overall approach to antiquity and the derivation of truth made appeals to an idealized Zhou for authority. ultimately, Xuns precision and methods cost him both reputation and court status. The events mark a turning point in which ideals were moving away from such court constructs toward a relatively more philosophical antiquarianism and towards new terms and genres of self-expression.

The Power of Patriarchs

Qisong and Lineage in Chinese Buddhism
Elizabeth Morrison, Middlebury College
The Chan monk Qisong (1007-1072), an important figure in northern Song religious and intellectual history, has garnered relatively little scholarly attention. This book provides a detailed biography with a focus on the influential historical writings he composed to defend Chan claims of a mind-to-mind transmission tracing back to the historical Buddha. It places his defense of lineage in the context not only of attacks by the rival Tiantai school, but also of the larger backdrop of the development of lineage and patriarchs as sources of authority in Chinese Buddhism. It advances new arguments about these Chinese Buddhist innovations, challenges common assumptions about Chan masters, and offers insights into the interactions of Buddhists, Confucians, and the imperial court during the Song.

The Chinese Translation of Russian Literature

Three Studies
Mark Gamsa, Tel Aviv University
The important place of Russian literature in China is widely acknowledged. To better understand the processes of its translation, transmission and interpretation during the first half of the 20th century, this book draws on an array of Chinese and Russian sources, providing insight into the interplay of political ideologies, cultural trends, commercial forces, and the self-definition of Chinese culture in the period under consideration. By focusing on the translation and translators of three writers, Boris Savinkov, Mikhail Artsybashev and Leonid Andreev, it analyzes the critical fortune in China of the modernist literature written in Russia during the two decades preceding the Great War and Revolution. Offering a thorough study of Lu Xun, the most important Chinese author of the 20th century, as a reader, translator and interpreter of Russian literature, this book also displays the variety of the groups and persons involved in the introduction of foreign literature, going beyond shopworn generalizations about East and West to make meaningful statements about a complex period in Chinese history.

The Great Recreation

Ho Ching-ming (1483-1521) and His World
Daniel Bryant, University of Victoria, Canada
The poetry of the Ming dynasty has been relatively neglected in scholarship of the past century, and the Archaist poets of the middle Ming especially so. This book attempts to redress this neglect by presenting by far the most detailed treatment available in any language of the life, milieu, and work of Ho Ching-ming (1483-1521). While Hos participation in the Archaist circle of Li Meng-yang in his youth is confirmed, the later development of his ideas is shown to move toward a stance usually thought more representative of the following century. The book also argues that May Fourth accounts of the pre-modern literary tradition are seriously flawed and require replacement.

Early Christian Remains of inner Mongolia

Discovery, Reconstruction and Appropriation
Tjalling H.F. Halbertsma
The early Christian presence in Inner Mongolia forms the subject of this book, These Nestorian remains must primarily be attributed to the ngt, a Turkic people closely allied to the Mongols, Writing in Syriac, uighur and Chinese scripts and languages, the nestorian ngt drew upon a variety of religions and cultures to decorate their gravestones with crosses rising from lotus flowers, dragons and Taoist imagery. This heritage also portrays designs found in the islamic world. Taking a closer look at the discovery of this material and its significance for the study of the early Church of the East under the Mongols, the author reconstructs the nestorian culture of the ngt. The reader will find many newly- discovered objects which have not been published previously. At the same time this study demonstrates how many remaining objects were appropriated and, in many cases, vanished after their discovery.

Gao Xingjians idea of Theatre

From the Word to the Image
izabella abdzka, Adam Mickiewicz University
This book argues that Gao Xingjians Idea of Theatre can only be explained by his broad knowledge and use of various Chinese and Western theatrical, literary, artistic and philosophical traditions. The author aims to show how Gaos theories of the theatre of anti-illusion, theatre of conscious convention, of the poor theatre and total theatre, of the neutral actor and the actor jester storyteller are derived from the Far Eastern tradition, and to what extent they have been inspired by 20th century Euro-american reformers of theatre such as antonin artaud, Bertolt Brecht, Vsevolod Meyerhold, Jerzy Grotowski and Tadeusz Kantor, although Gao s plays and theatre form the major subject, this volume also pays ample attention to his painting and passion for music as sources of his dramaturgical strategies.

Modernist Aesthetics in Taiwanese Poetry since the 1950s

Au Chung-to, University of Macau
Much of the previous scholarship on Taiwanese modernist poetry easily falls into ideological arguments. This book participates in the development of an alternative approach to understanding Taiwanese modernist poetry. Dr, Aus approach emphasizes the diversity and intensity of experiences of place and placelessness in the work of five poets: Lomen, Luo Fu, Rong Zi, Yu Guangzhong and Zheng Chouyu. The phenomenon of placelessness is a problem in all modernity and so modern aesthetics is an outgrowth of modern societys sense of placelessness. This book not only shows how place becomes placelessness but also analyses Taiwanese modernist poets responses to the phenomenon of placelessness. Four kinds of places are examined, namely, the house, the city, homeland and an imagined literary community, in this work. The result is both refreshing and original.

Sizhu Instrumental Music of South China

CHInA STUDIES
Ethos, Theory and Practice

Alan R. Thrasher, University of British Columbia, Emeritus
according to a readers report, this is one of the finest studies on (any kind of) Chinese music to emerge in recent years. Based on extensive fieldwork and a thorough knowledge of the scholarly literature, the author examines the theoretical underpinnings of the silk and bamboo instrumental ensemble traditions of the Chaozhou, Hakka and Cantonese peoples of South China. Stepping back far into history, the book opens with a penetrating examination of Confucian theory, the ancient corpus of behavioral doctrine which promoted music as a means of achieving social harmony and which, together with Daoist belief, exercised unusually strong influence over common-practice music and aesthetics. This is followed by a rigorous analysis of the music itself, focusing upon linear and modal structures and performance styles which reflect a fascinating mix of ancient ideologies and more recent influences.

Kingship in Early Medieval China

andrew Eisenberg, Northeastern Illinois University
The institution of the Retired Emperor forms the innovative angle from which this study analyzes Classical Chinese political history (4th to 7th centuries A.D.). With the help of ensuing insights, the volume develops into a portal through which to gain understanding of broader patterns of political and social action relevant to the Classical Chinese monarchy. In this truly interdisciplinary approach Weberian historical sociological concepts are engaged as a means of bringing specific historical actions into a wider cross cultural comparative perspective and lays the basis for a new framework to think about kingship and succession in East asia.

The Politics of Language in Chinese Education, 18951919

Elisabeth Kaske, Frankfurt University
The study examines the origins of the literary revolution proclaimed in 1917 which laid the foundation for the replacement of the classical language by the vernacular as Chinas national language and medium of national literature. A unique, multifaceted approach is used to explain the political significance of the classical/vernacular divide against the backdrop of social change that followed the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-5. Seeing education as the central battleground for all debates on language, the study in six thoroughly documented chapters investigates the language policy of the Qing and Republican governments, vernacular journalism of the revolutionaries, the activities of urban script reformers, the linguistic thought of the national essence advocates, and the emergence of a scholarly interest in the vernacular in academic circles.

The Buddhist Conquest of China The Spread and Adaptation of Buddhism in Early Medieval China
Social Scientific Studies in Reform Era China

On the thirtieth anniversary of Chinas reform and opening we can say with confidence that China has truly established itself. The economic progress achieved over these thirty years of reform and opening is historically unprecedented, not only in China, but in the history of the world, and understanding what has happened in China during this period is the first aim of this series of volumes. These works also aim to draw on the experience of three decades of reform and opening to help map Chinas road ahead, and to draw the attention of the world to Chinas experience of reform and opening. The world needs not only to understand China but also to make room for China in its understanding of globalization. brill.nl/ssrc ISSN: 1879-7539

The Inner Quarters and Beyond

Women Writers from Ming through Qing
Edited by Grace S. Fong, McGill University and Ellen Widmer, Wellesley College Only recently has the enormous literary output of women writers of the Ming and Qing periods (1368-1911) been rediscovered. Through these valuable texts, we apprehend in ways not possible earlier the complexity of womens experiences in the inner quarters and their varied responses to challenges facing state and society. Writing in many genres, women engaged with topics as varied as war, travel, illness, love, friendship, female heroism, and religion. Drawing on a library of newly digitized resources, this volumes eleven chapters describe, analyze, and theorize these materials. They question previous assumptions about womens lives and abilities, open up new critical space in Chinese literary history and offer new perspectives on Chinas culture and society. This volume rewrites the history of Chinese womens literature by taking a truly inter-disciplinary (instead of merely multi-disciplinary) approach. In so doing, it ends up illuminating the centrality of writing women to the social, political, and intellectual lives of the Chinese empire from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries.

Lost Bodies: Prostitution and Masculinity in Chinese Fiction

Paola Zamperini, Amherst College
This important contribution to the study of early modern Chinese fiction and representation of gender relations focuses on literary representations of the prostitute produced in the Ming and Qing periods. Following her heavily symbolic body, the present work maps this fictional heroines journey from innocence to sex-work and beyond. This crucial angle allows the author to paint a picture of gender identity, sexuality, and desire that is at once unitary and multi-layered, and that comes to illuminate some of the major themes in the construction of Chinese modernity.

Here is a convincing reflection that changes our understanding of gender in Maoist culture, esp. for what critics from the 1990s onwards have termed its erasure of gender and sexuality. In particular the strong heroines of the yangbanxi, or model works which dominated the Cultural Revolution period, have been seen as genderless revolutionaries whose images were damaging to women. Drawing on contemporary theories ranging from literary and cultural studies to sociology, this book challenges that established view through detailed semiotic analysis of theatrical systems of the yangbanxi including costume, props, kinesics, and various audio and linguistic systems. Acknowledging the complex interplay of traditional, modern, Chinese and foreign gender ideologies as manifest in the model works, it fundamentally changes our insights into gender in Maoist culture.

The Draft Civil Code of the Peoples Republic of China

English Translation (Prepared by the Legislative Research Group of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences)
Edited by Liang Huixing, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Since the beginning of the 20th century, various attempts have been made by legal scholars to draft a Civil Code in China. However, only since the 1980s, when the open-door policy was implemented, has Chinese Civil law become the basis for the development of a socialist market economy. Since the adoption of Chinese contract law (1999), property Law (2007) and tort Law (2009) in recent years, the basic construction of a socialist civil law system has been formulated. For the completion of a systematic civil law structure, a Civil Code has now been further advocated by society. The Draft Civil Code, prepared by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences headed by Liang Huixing, is the first draft Civil Code since the establishment of the Peoples Republic of China. The English translation of this code aims to provide a source for western scholars to provide some knowledge on recent developments of Chinese civil law. Also available as a Hardback edition (978-90-04-19042-9).

Toward a New Framework for Peaceful Settlement of Chinas Territorial and Boundary Disputes
Junwu Pan
As China becomes more integrated in global economic and political systems, it has become inevitable that it engages fully and actively in the international legal system. Notably missing in Chinas international engagement is its participation in international institutions on third party settlement of disputes, including territorial and boundary disputes. This work argues that, contrary to conventional understanding, much could be gained by China if it were to have a more positive attitude towards third-party settlement of its territorial and boundary disputes. This volume examines both the problems and opportunities China is confronting within the changing international context and offers new frameworks for settlement of Chinas major territorial and boundary disputes.

Taking Employment discrimination Seriously: Chinese and European Perspectives

Edited by Yuwen Li, Utrecht University and Jenny Goldschmidt, Utrecht University Employment discrimination is present in any society. However, this severe social problem has escalated in the post-Mao era in China. The imbalance between supply and demand in the labour market, combined with a lack of general consciousness regarding labour rights, have contributed to the swift spread of discrimination. This book contains the most recent research on the reality of discrimination in China, and advocates for effective employment equality protection through law and specialised equality institutions. The study of equal treatment in the legal systems of the Eu illustrates the important contribution law, together with general policies, can make to the improvement of equality in employment. While both systems face a distinctive range and degree of problems, employment discrimination ought to be taken seriously in China and the countries of the Eu.

The Idea of Writing

Play and Complexity
Edited by alex de Voogt, American Museum of Natural History in New York and Irving L. Finkel, The British Museum The Idea of Writing is an exploration of the versatility of writing systems. From ancient Egyptian, Cuneiform and Meroitic writing to Chinese, Maya and Maldivian script, the authors examine the problems and possibilities of polysemy, representing loanwords and the problems of adapting a writing system to another language. The playful and artistic use of writing, including a contribution on writing dance, further illustrates the intricacies of the systems. This collection of articles aims to highlight the complexity of writing systems rather than to provide a first introduction. The different academic traditions in which these writing systems have been studied use linguistic, socio-historical and philological approaches that give complementary insights into the complex phenomena.

The primary objectives are defined in terms of grammatical translation of Greek aspect into Mandarin aspect at the discourse level. A historical overview of the Chinese Bible is provided as a way of introducing major translation issues related to linguistic, conceptual, and logistical challenges. The proposed theory provides the translator with a powerful tool, which is tested in two sample passages from John 1819 and 1 Corinthians 15.

The Kitan Language and Script

Daniel Kane, Macquarie University
The Kitans established the Liao dynasty in northern China, which lasted for over two centuries (916-1125). in this survey the reader will find what is currently known about the Kitan language and scripts. The language was very likely distantly related to Mongolian, with two quite different scripts in use. a few generations after their state was defeated, almost all trace of the Kitan spoken and written languages disappeared, except a few words in Chinese texts. Over the past few decades, however, inscriptions from the tombs of the Liao emperors and the Kitan aristocracy have been at least partially deciphered, resulting in a significant increase of our knowledge of the Kitan lexicon, morphology and syntax.

Remapping the Past

Fictions of History in Dengs China, 1979-1997
Howard Yuen Fung Choy, Wittenberg university
The most prominent literary phenomenon in the 1980s and 1990s in China, historical fiction, has never been systematically surveyed in anglophone scholarship. This is the first investigation into how, by rewriting the past, writers of deng Xiaopings reform era undermined the grand narrative of official history. it showcases fictions of history by eleven native Chinese, Muslim and Tibetan authors. The four chapters are organized in terms of spatial schemes of fictional historiography, namely, regional histories and family romances, discourses on diaspora and myths of minorities, nostalgia for the hometown in the country and the city, as well as the bodily text and the textual body, thus broadly covering the eternal themes of memory, language, food, sex, and violence in historical writing.

Peking: A Social Survey

Sidney D. Gamble and J.S. Burgess
This important social survey, first published in 1921, and illustrated with over fifty photographs and nearly forty maps and diagrams, contains invaluable data from questionnaires collected from a cross-section of the population of Peking between September 1918 and December 1919. The result is a comprehensive record of all aspects of life and conditions in the capital from government, health and education, to commercial life, recreation, poverty and philanthropy. In the Foreword, we are reminded of the fact that the timeliness of this survey is significant. China is in the midst of a vast transition, and it is essential that the Orient, as far as possible, be saved from the costly mistakes made by the Occident. This landmark survey provides an invaluable point of reference vis--vis modern China in a period of unparalleled economic and industrial growth and social transformation.

State Capitalism, Contentious Politics and Large-Scale Social Change

Edited by Vincent Kelly Pollard State capitalism is back, It never went away, This book looks at the role of state capitalism in major European and asian societies. it confronts neo-liberal pieties about the role of markets and private property in capitalist development and radical accounts which see the state as the antithesis of capitalism. State capitalism is a normal form of capitalist development, Its extremes may vary but it has been, and remains, central to an understanding of modern capitalism. This is especially the case in the so called Communist and Communist worlds of Russia and China, and for alternative economies like that of India and the Philippines, which are the focus of this timely and challenging book.

School Music Education and Social Change in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan
Wai-chung Ho, Hong Kong Baptist University
This book examines recent reforms and innovations in school music education within the changing societies of mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. These three regions share a common historical culture but have had diverse socio-political experiences. Whilst some musical knowledge is common to all three, some is particular to one or two and depends on their responses to globalization, localization and national identity. This book aims to compare how music education in Shanghai, Hong Kong and Taipei has adjusted to the forces of globalization, localization and Sinofication. it contributes significantly to thinking about education reforms in response to this tripartite paradigm with respect to not only Chinese communities but also to the asia-Pacific Region as a whole.

Intellectual Property Regime Evolution in China and india

Technological, Political and Social Drivers of Change
Paul C. Irwin Crookes, University of Cambridge
What is behind the changing attitudes towards intellectual property in India and China? This exploration of empirically-based research comparisons on the character of intellectual property systems found in these two countries, offers answers to three key questions: what are the drivers that have moved them towards a closer embrace of IP norms, how have domestic and systemic influences shaped the character of this embrace, and how have state and non-state actors interacted within the international system to promote this transformation? Focusing on the software and iT services industries, it illuminates the policy drivers that have influenced IP regime adoption, and helps our understanding the process by providing a clear framework of distinctive phases of technological, political and social development.

Imagining the Good Life

Negotiating Culture and Development in Nepal Himalaya

Francis Khek Gee Lim, Nanyang Technological University
This is a book of great originality that analyses cultural change and experience of development in terms of the pursuit of the good life as a social process. While recent anthropological critiques of development highlight the importance of local knowledge, this book argues that these critiques have not gone far enough, and suggests that a much more fundamental issue concerns the ends of development as seen from a more holistic, cultural perspective. Based on ethnographic research among an ethnic Tibetan community in the Nepal Himalaya, the book eloquently illustrates how the pursuit of the good life is inextricably tied to space and history, and demonstrates the relevance of ethno-historically generated conceptions of the good life to the practice of development.

Overcoming Passion for Race in Malaysia Cultural Studies

Edited by David C.L. Lim, Open University Malaysia Overcoming Passion examines the passion for race in contemporary Malaysia. Broadly the essays look at the disjunction between the falsity of race as a scientific category and the entrenched belief that race determines ones rightful identity. They probe the ways in which individual minds and institutions of power fail or refuse to recognize and act in accordance with the knowledge that race exists only insofar as its existence is sustained by the believers belief in it. The contributors draw from a burgeoning but under-examined archive of Malaysia-related social texts, ranging from media and technological discourse, popular culture and literary production to historical writings, produced originally in English, Malay and Mandarin Chinese.

Tidal Wave
Wang Lixiong
There is great social tension in the aftermath of Tiananmen Square, uncertainty about political and economic policy and the constant burden of over-population. Serious flooding of the Yellow River adds more than a hundred million to the floating population of destitute and semi-destitute peasant refugees. In addition, the rapid development of the market economy, and other reforms, have led to the prosperity of some but not in all provinces. The bastion of conservative opposition to reform remains in the Army, especially among the old revolutionaries. An ambitious LieutenantGeneral (Wang Feng), backed by the highest-ranking officer of the army, now retired, who still wields immense, informal power, arranges for the assassination of the reformist Secretary General of the Communist Party who is also President of China. Seven of the rich southern provinces subsequently declare independence because the anti-reform, anti-commercial new government threatens their prosperity. Taiwan sees this as an opportunity to re-conquer the mainland, but Wang Feng orders a pre-emptive nuclear attack on Taipei and Members of the Taiwanese army then capture a nuclear missile base in south China and fire a missile at Beijing, which lands in Russia by mistake

Edited by Walton Look Lai and Tan Chee-Beng, Chinese University of Hong Kong The Chinese migration to the Latin America/Caribbean region is an understudied dimension of the Asian American experience. There are three distinct periods in the history of this migration: the early colonial period (pre-19th century), when the profitable three-century trade connection between Manila and acapulco led to the first asian migrations to Mexico and Peru; the classic migration period (19th to early twentieth centuries), marked by the coolie trade known to Chinese diaspora studies; and the renewed immigration of the late 20th century to the present. Written by specialists on the Chinese in Latin America and the Caribbean, this book tells the story of Asian migration to the Americas and contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the Chinese in this important part of the world.

Roots and Routes of Development in China and India

Highlights of Fifty Years of the Journal of the Economic and Social History of the Orient (1957-2007)
Edited by Jos Gommans, University of Leiden and Harriet Zurndorfer, University of Leiden This volume brings together some of the very best of half a century of enduring scholarship in the Journal of the Economic and Social History of the Orient. The selected articles show how historians have developed their understanding of economic and social change in China and India. As introduced by two of its current editors, these seminal studies not only demonstrate the crucial contributions of JESHO but also reflect the various scholarly tendencies in their respective fields. Hence this volume offers readers a unique opportunity to critically compare the historical and the historiographical roots and routes of the modern development of these two new global superpowers. The contributions in this volume have been previously published as articles in Brills journal Journal of the Economic and Social History of the Orient (www.brill.nl/jesh). Please see the table of contents for more information.

Geography / Economics & Trade
Farmers of Forty Centuries or Permanent Agriculture in China, Korea and Japan

F.H. King Edited by J.P. Bruce
First published in 1926, this classic survey, which includes nearly 250 photographs, examines the traditional farming methods of the densely populated lands of China, Korea and Japan and shows how fertility can be maintained over many centuries through conserving and utilizing natural resources. in the introduction, the author notes: The united States as yet a nation of but few people widely scattered over a broad virgin land with more than twenty acres to the support of every man, woman and child, while the people whose practices are to be considered are toiling in fields tilled more than three thousand years and who have scarcely more than two acres per capita, more than one-half of which is uncultivable land. Researchers and scholars in the fields of human geography, regional studies and earth sciences, as well as social and economic history will welcome this landmark study being returned to print.

The Globalization of Energy

China and the European Union
Edited by M. Parvizi Amineh, International Institute for Asian Studies, Leiden and Yang Guang, CASS, IWAAS Since the conclusion of the 1985 trade and cooperation agreement between the European Community and China, a new political dynamic has been set in motion between two emerging entities: industrializing China and integrating Europe. it is reflected in, among others, European Commission policy strategy papers and, probably more importantly, in numerous sectoral dialogues and agreements. Europe has become Chinas largest export destination. For the E.u., China has become its second largest trading partner and its most important source of imports.

Economics & Trade
Chinese Economic History up to 1949

Edited by Michael Dillon The development of Chinas economy has long been an enigma to Western historians. Did it consist of centuries of stagnation followed by a period of collapse or was it a process of steady development, reaching a high point by the eighteenth century? What is certain is that Chinas economic growth never developed into a full industrial revolution and China was overtaken by the West, but the reasons for this are highly contested both within and outside China. Topics of the Key Papers here include land use and land ownership, handicraft industries and early industrialization, trade and commerce, transport and communication and taxation and finance. It begins with papers on the earliest development of the economy in the Qin and Han dynasties, but concentrates on the periods of greatest interest and most significant development, namely the commercial revolution of the Song dynasty, the industrial and commercial expansion of the mid-Ming and the impact of Western and Japanese trade and investment in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

The dutch East india Companys Tea Trade with China, 1757-1781
Yong Liu
This case study of the tea trade of the dutch East india Company with China deals with the most profitable phase of the dutch Companys China trade, focusing on the question why and how the tea trade was taken out of the hands of the High Government in Batavia and put under the supervision of the newly established China Committee in 1757. Various factors which contributed to the phenomenal rise of this trade and its sudden decline are dealt with in detail. Filling in lacunae left open by previous research and this monograph contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the VOC trade with asia.

History
The Political Philosophy of Zhang Taiyan

The Resistance of Consciousness
Viren Murthy, University of Ottawa
Zhang Taiyan (1868-1936) is famous for being one of the first thinkers in China to promote revolution in the early twentieth century. Scholars have addressed Zhangs revolutionary and nationalist thought, but until this work there has not been any sustained engagement with Zhangs Buddhist writings which aimed to understand and criticize the world from the perspective of consciousness. These philosophical works are significant because they exemplify how, as Chinese intellectuals entered the global capitalist world, they constantly tried to find resources to create an alternative. As the author argues in the conclusion, this desire to create an alternative to capitalism remained throughout twentieth century China and continues today in the works of critical intellectuals such as Wang Hui. Thus this work is important not only to understand our past, but to hope for a better future.

Subversive Strategies in Contemporary Chinese Art

Edited by Mary Bittner Wiseman, Brooklyn College, Emeritus and Liu Yuedi, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences What is art and what is its role in a China that is changing at a dizzying speed? These questions lie at the heart of Chinese contemporary art. Subversive Strategies paves the way for the rebirth of a Chinese aesthetics adequate to the art whose sheer energy and imaginative power is subverting the ideas through which western and Chinese critics think about art. The first collection of essays by American and Chinese philosophers and art historians, Subversive Strategies begins by showing how the art reflects current crises and is working them out through bodies gendered and political. The essays raise the question of Chinese identity in a global world and note a blurring of the boundary between art and everyday life.

Modernities of Chinese Art

John Clark, University of Sydney
This publication presents John Clarks collected writings on Modern and Contemporary Chinese Art. Almost thirty years of pioneering empirical, in-depth research dedicated to modernities of Chinese art, is now for the first time conveniently brought together in one volume. Taking up issues not handled much at the time by academic or curatorial writing, John Clark wrote articles on a wide range of separate topics, some of which anticipated future discussions. These articles fall into a coherent series of closely related examinations on the problems of modernity in Chinese Art. Most of the essays published previously elsewhere have therefore been adapted for this publication, while others, e.g., the first hand observations of Beijing and Hong Kong in 1981, appear in print now for the first time. Chapters often include unique interview material, and much other information not found elsewhere. The book includes illustrations of over 200 art works in color with biographical appendices of Taiwan and Hong Kong artists, extensive chronological materials in thematic categories on Chinese art and an extensive bibliography, this is an essential reference work for anyone interested in Modern Chinese Art.

The Making of Manhood among Swedish Missionaries in China and Mongolia, c.1890-c.1914
Erik Sidenvall, Lund University
Over the last thirty years, issues of gender have been creatively explored within the field of mission studies, Whereas the life and work of female missionaries have been fruitfully reflected upon, male gender identity has often been understood as an unchanging category, This book offers a pioneering account of the relationship between missionary work and masculinity. By examining four individual men this study explores how self-making occurred within foreign missions, but also how conceptions of male gender informed missionary work, Changes that occurred in the lives of these men are placed within the broader context of how issues of gender were renegotiated within the contemporary missionary movement,

Edited by Bo Mou, San Jose State University This volume investigates how, through critical engagement, the philosophy of John Searle in the Western analytic tradition and some thoughts and strands in Chinese philosophy can jointly contribute to the common philosophical enterprise and shows how such comparative methodology of constructive engagement is important or even indispensable in philosophical inquiry. The anthology includes Searles keynote essay and 15 engaging pairs of essay-reply dialogues, each of which consists of one previously unpublished essay by some expert(s) and Searles engaging reply, and which are organized into four subjects respectively on mind, language, morality, and meta-philosophical & methodological issues. The anthology also includes the volume editors theme introduction on the constructive-engagement movement in view of Searles philosophy and Chinese philosophy.

Death in Ancient China

The Tale of One Mans Journey
Constance A. Cook, Lehigh University
This richly illustrated book provides a glimpse into the belief system and the material wealth of the social elite in pre-Imperial China through a close analysis of tomb contents and excavated bamboo texts. The point of departure is the textual and material evidence found in one tomb of an elite man buried in 316 BCE near a once wealthy middle Yangzi River valley metropolis. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of cosmological symbolism and the nature of the spirit world. The author shows how illness and death were perceived as steps in a spiritual journey from one realm into another. Transmitted textual records are compared with excavated texts. The layout and contents of this multi-chambered tomb are analyzed as are the contents of two texts, a record of divination and sacrifices performed during the last three years of the occupants life and a tomb inventory record of mortuary gifts. The texts are fully translated and annotated in the appendices. a first-time close-up view of a set of local beliefs which not only reflect the larger ancient Chinese religious system but also underlay the rich intellectual and artistic life of pre-imperial China. With first full translations of texts previously unknown to all except a small handful of sinologists. Originally published in hardcover: ISBN 978 90 04 15312 7

Chinese Poetry in Times of Mind, Mayhem and Money

Maghiel van Crevel, University of Leiden
Chinese Poetry in Times of Mind, Mayhem and Money is a groundbreaking contribution to scholarship, well-suited to classroom use in that it combines rigorous analysis with a lively style. Covering the period from the 1980s to the present, it is organized around the notions of text, context and metatext, meaning poetry, its socio-political and cultural surroundings, and critical discourse in the broadest sense. authors and issues studied include Han dong, Haizi, Xi Chuan, Yu Jian, Sun Wenbo, Yang Lian, Wang Jiaxin, Bei Dao, Yin Lichuan, Shen Haobo and Yan Jun, and everything from the subtleties of poetic rhythm to exile-bashing in domestic media. This book has room for all that poetry is: cultural heritage, symbolic capital, intellectual endeavor, social commentary, emotional expression, music and the materiality of language art, in a word.

Questions of Style
Literary Societies and Literary Journals in Modern China, 1911-1937
Michel Hockx, SOAS, University of London
Dealing with the central issue of style in literature, this groundbreaking study is a must for sinologists, but also for all students of comparative literature. Michel Hockx takes as a point of departure the observation that most writers of the Republican period adhered to a distinctly traditional practice of gathering in literary societies, while at the same time displaying a marked preference for publishing their works through the modern medium of the literary journal. The first part of the book analyses different types of societies and their journals. The case studies in part two convey the wider impact of literary collectives and journal publications on literary practice. Convincingly breaking with the May Fourth paradigm, the author proposes a radically new way of understanding the relationship between New Literature and other styles of modern Chinese writing.

Early Chinese Religion:

Part One: Shang through Han (1250 BC-220 AD)
Edited by John Lagerwey, cole Pratique des Hautes tudes, Paris-Sorbonne and Marc Kalinowski, cole Pratique des Hautes tudes, Paris-Sorbonne Together, and for the first time in any language, the 24 essays gathered in these volumes provide a composite picture of the history of religion in ancient China from the emergence of writing ca. 1250 BC to the collapse of the first major imperial dynasty in 220 ad. it is a multi-faceted tale of changing gods and rituals that includes the emergence of a form of secular humanism that doubts the existence of the gods and the efficacy of ritual and of an imperial orthodoxy that founds its legitimacy on a distinction between licit and illicit sacrifices. Written by specialists in a variety of disciplines, the essays cover such subjects as divination and cosmology, exorcism and medicine, ethics and self-cultivation, mythology, taboos, sacrifice, shamanism, burial practices, iconography, and political philosophy. Produced under the aegis of the Centre de recherche sur les civilisations chinoise, japonaise et tibtaine, uMR 8155 and the cole Pratique des Hautes tudes, Paris.
