The Complete Experience of the World: the Interaction between Song, Liao, Xia, Jin and Yuan

Wei Bing

131K0

This book discusses the pluralistic unity of the Chinese world from both conceptual and empirical perspectives. The two worlds of farming and nomadic life are both ups and downs in interaction and symbiosis. Yin and Yang can never eliminate one of them. China is also the product of this opposition, interaction and integration between Yi and Xia. Yi and Xia are two-dimensional. Without either one, it is not China. The key to understanding China is to grasp this two-way, dynamic "potential". This is the complete experience of the world. From an empirical perspective, this investigation of the concept of Yi and Xia as yin and yang is implemented into various specific levels, such as the competition between Song, Liao, Xia, Jin, and Yuan for cultural symbolic resources, the emergence of different ethnic groups at the regional level to shape local history and humanities, and how this ups and downs of interactive history at the individual level affects personal destiny and choices.

This book combines traditional elite intellectual history with relevant methods of "new cultural history" to provide a systematic and in-depth overall investigation and interpretation of the gestation, formation, development and connotation of the modern Chinese national concept. It not only pays attention to the careful disclosure of historical context, the excavation and interpretation of typical texts, and the perspective analysis of important concepts, but also pays attention to the impact and significance of the national system, party policies, key figures and major events, and strives to present the many historical aspects of the socialization of this concept. The book emphasizes that the modern Chinese national concept has always been accompanied by the encounter of Chinese and Western thoughts and the intersection of ancient and modern concepts, showing the entanglement and interaction between the nation and the country; for the cognitive subject, it always contains the conflict and integration of emotion and reason, witnessing the contradiction and adjustment between ideal and reality. Its spread and recognition in modern China can be said to have profoundly reflected the political and cultural spirit of China and the destiny of the nation and country in that era. It is an extremely important phenomenon in the history of political thought and social and cultural history.

Modern China has witnessed great changes, and political and social changes have undergone tremendous changes, which are worthy of re-examination. The author believes that understanding history begins with historical facts, and therefore we must start by seeing the individual parts and fragments before understanding the whole. Therefore, the fragmentation and disintegration known as fragments today are a necessary and necessary part of this process. However, the ultimate goal of recognizing history is to understand and explain history. Therefore, this kind of historical facts that exist in individual and fragmentary forms have no cause and effect, no upward and downward connections, and no origin and trace, so they become isolated facts that can neither explain themselves nor others. Therefore, fragments of historical facts need to be connected with each other to reproduce the cause and effect, up and down connections, and origins between them. Only then can the facts in history become meaningful facts. This book is the author's research on the social changes in modern China based on this research path. It is of great academic value and readability.

Hu Heng

274K0

The rise of regional studies is one of the distinctive features of the shift in historical research since the 1980s. The academic community has abandoned the past grand narratives that were limited to political history, and instead tried to find a path to present "overall history" through case studies or regional studies, and to construct its own interpretation model of Chinese history. How to define "region" has become one of the priority issues that researchers need to deal with. Based on the systematic and comprehensive collection of Qing Dynasty archives, records, and political documents, this book will focus on exploring the formation and development process of county administrative districts in the Qing Dynasty. That is, as a national-level institutional design, its institutional origins, what kind of institutional changes it experienced in the Qing Dynasty, and its disappearance during the Republic of China. The spatial distribution of county administrative districts in the Qing Dynasty, and the relationship between the establishment of county administrative districts in the Qing Dynasty and local governance have important academic significance.

How did Kang Youwei quickly win the trust of Emperor Guangxu from being unknown? Why did Zhang Yinhuan and Weng Tong, important ministers of the late Qing Dynasty, fail to recover before and after the Reform Movement of 1898? When the "Six Gentlemen of 1898" were arrested, how did Wang Zhao, a fugitive after the coup, survive and surrender?

This book mainly focuses on Jishui and Anfu counties in Jiangxi Province to discuss the process of the grassrootsization of Yangming Studies in the two places, including how academics develop locally, the mobilization ability of academic groups, and how Yangming Studies scholars manage their relationships with local townships. Many social undertakings accomplished under the leadership of Yangming scholars helped establish their local authority, especially the continuous tax and labor reforms in Jishui and Anfu counties during the 100 years from Jiajing to Wanli. Local Yangming scholars were the heroes behind this achievement, which made some Yangming scholars tend to be regarded as saints by local scholars and people. The cooperative and symbiotic relationship and method between Ji'an Yangming School and local families can be said to have realized to a large extent the ideal of "transforming the countryside" of the scholars of the Song and Ming Dynasties.

The Spiritual World of Scholar-bureaucrats in the Ming Dynasty

Chen Baoliang

483K0

"Ming Xue", as the successor of "Song Xue", is also called "Song Ming Neo-Confucianism". The local officials of the Ming Dynasty should belong to the new type of scholar-officials after the Sui and Tang Dynasties. However, in terms of the scholar-officials of the Ming Dynasty who extremely pursued "pure discussion" and had the characteristics of personal liberation, their spiritual world was the direct successor of the scholar-officials of the Six Dynasties. This book explains the knowledge and actions of scholar-bureaucrats in the Ming Dynasty through the research method of interaction between thought and society, that is, the context of history and society, from multiple perspectives such as the distinction between a gentleman and a villain, the confusion of origin and official seclusion, the dilemma of loyalty, filial piety and justice, the choice between life and death, the distinction between elegance and secularity and their interaction. This is undoubtedly different from previous research that was too biased towards "ideational history", but hopes to reinterpret the actual dynamics of the intellectual history of the Ming Dynasty based on the interrelationships in political history, educational history, regional studies and other fields. This is a study of spiritual history, and its purpose is to examine the relationship between the spirit of native officials and politics and society.

The wise man is the teacher of the king, and the brave man is the first in the world. His power and momentum swallow up mountains and rivers, and his emotions shock the ages.

The Ming and Qing Dynasties were a historical stage of comprehensive transformation of traditional Chinese society. Business not only developed highly, but also became increasingly professional. Not only did various business groups and business associations and chambers of commerce appear, but books on business methods and business guidance (referred to as "business books" in the manuscript) also began to get rid of the form of secret manuscripts and turned into public publications. Moreover, these business books not only appeared on the market openly as "public readings", but were also widely popular. This phenomenon reflected the impact of the development of the social commodity economy and the increasing prosperity of commerce on social concepts at that time. This article is divided into three parts to introduce the development and spread of business books during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which will promote the in-depth study of the development of Ming and Qing society.

Life and Death of Qin Shihuang

Xin Deyong

159K0

"Zhao Zhengshu", a bamboo book of the Western Han Dynasty, begins with the death of Qin Shihuang and tells the story of Hu Hai's disobedience to Ziying and Li Si's advice, which led to his own death and the country's demise. It has received widespread attention because of its content involving the arrangements for the succession of Emperor Qin Shihuang when he was dying, the legitimacy of the second Emperor Qin's accession to the throne, and even the direct reasons for the overthrow of the Qin Empire. When Professor Xin Deyong read this bamboo book, he took the rise and fall of the Qin Dynasty as the general background and raised a series of questions that ordinary people are not aware of. Does the "Zhao Zheng" in "Zhao Zhengshu" refer to Qin Shihuang? "Zhao Zheng", "Zhao Zheng", "Qin Zheng", "Qin Zheng", "Ying Zheng", "First Emperor"... Which one was the name he used when he was alive? Why is it said that the title of the book "Zhao Zhengshu" (or the title of the chapter) is somewhat unrealistic? What is its origin and what are its characteristics? Although they clearly record the same historical event, why is it different between "Zhao Zhengshu" and "Historical Records"? Which of the two is more trustworthy? Did Qin Shihuang, who was infamous for his "burning books and entrapping Confucianism" throughout the ages, really hate all Confucian scholars and Confucianism in the world? And to some extent, the famous eunuch Zhao Gao, who determined the fate of the Qin Dynasty, was a "castrated person"?

Retrial of the Song Dynasty Case (modern China)

Shang Xiaoming

325K0

The biggest problem in the study of the century-old Song Dynasty case is that researchers mistakenly equate "Song Dynasty case" with "Assassination of Song Dynasty case". This book completely corrects this deviation and clearly reveals that the "Song Case" is actually a complicated case caused by the sequential evolution and interweaving of multiple plots such as the appeasement of the Communist Party, the investigation of the welcoming Congress group, the manipulation of the drafting of the constitution, the frame-up of "Sun Huang Song", the "Anonymous" attack, the purchase of public bonds at low prices, and the assassination of Song Jiaoren. It uses extremely delicate research to thoroughly reveal the inner relationship between the seemingly unrelated plots, and finally convincingly unveils a series of mysteries of the Song case. About 90% of the materials in the book have not been used by previous researchers of Song Dynasty cases, and a considerable part of them have been made public for the first time.
