  • Religion in China BKGA 85 Religion Inchina and Bernhard Scheid Edited by Max Deeg Major Concepts and Minority Positions MAX DEEG, BERNHARD SCHEID (EDS.)
    Religions of foreign origin have shaped Chinese cultural history much stronger than generally assumed and continue to have impact on Chinese society in varying regional degrees. The essays collected in the present volume put a special emphasis on these “foreign” and less familiar aspects of Chinese religion. Apart from an introductory article on Daoism (the BKGA 85 BKGA Religion in China proto­typical autochthonous religion of China), the volume reflects China’s encounter with religions of the so-called Western Regions, starting from the adoption of Indian Buddhism to early settlements of religious minorities from the Near East (Islam, Christianity, and Judaism) and the early modern debates between Confucians and Christian missionaries. Contemporary Major Concepts and religious minorities, their specific social problems, and their regional diversities are discussed in the cases of Abrahamitic traditions in China. The volume therefore contributes to our understanding of most recent and Minority Positions potentially violent religio-political phenomena such as, for instance, Islamist movements in the People’s Republic of China. Religion in China Religion ∙ Max DEEG is Professor of Buddhist Studies at the University of Cardiff. His research interests include in particular Buddhist narratives and their roles for the construction of identity in premodern Buddhist communities. Bernhard SCHEID is a senior research fellow at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. His research focuses on the history of Japanese religions and the interaction of Buddhism with local religions, in particular with Japanese Shintō. Max Deeg, Bernhard Scheid (eds.)

  • Chap. 18; and Sy- Mons 1981: 9–10
    CHAPTER I THE MULTIVOCAL PRIMARY RECORD The sheer size of the extant record of the Ming-Qing conflict is historically significant. At some risk, let me begin not only with numbers but with crude ones: the selective bibliography of the best nongovernmental primary and contemporaneous secondary sources of the Ming-Qing conflict, exclusively defined in part two of this monograph (categories I and II), lists 199 Chinese works and collections as main or subsidiary items (leaving aside archival and inscriptional sources) for just the period 1644–1662 (nineteen years). Those were written or compiled by probably 170 different persons, giving 9.7 author-works per year. Let us first compare that with the extant record of the previous instance of long-term, widespread disruption in China, the Yuan-Ming transition, including not only the Ming expulsion of the Mongols but also the Chinese internecine wars that ended in victory for the Ming founder Zhu Yuanzhang 朱元璋, during a considerably longer period, 1355–1388 (thirty-four years). Privileging the Yuan-Ming record with inclusiveness, I still find only 17 nongovernmental works by 15 different authors (or .47 author-works per year).i Of course, the Yuan-Ming transition is three centuries more remote in time than that of Ming-to-Qing, so greater losses to the record are to be expected. On the other hand, writings from that earlier case were not subjected during Ming times to publication restrictions, prohibitions, and other state interferences to nearly the extent that was reached under Qing rule. The contrast is stark even when one considers that the population of China more than doubled from early-Ming to late-Ming and early-Qing times.

  • Communication, Empire, and Authority in the Qing Gazette
    COMMUNICATION, EMPIRE, AND AUTHORITY IN THE QING GAZETTE by Emily Carr Mokros A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland June, 2016 © 2016 Emily Carr Mokros All rights Reserved Abstract This dissertation studies the political and cultural roles of official information and political news in late imperial China. Using a wide-ranging selection of archival, library, and digitized sources from libraries and archives in East Asia, Europe, and the United States, this project investigates the production, regulation, and reading of the Peking Gazette (dibao, jingbao), a distinctive communications channel and news publication of the Qing Empire (1644-1912). Although court gazettes were composed of official documents and communications, the Qing state frequently contracted with commercial copyists and printers in publishing and distributing them. As this dissertation shows, even as the Qing state viewed information control and dissemination as a strategic concern, it also permitted the free circulation of a huge variety of timely political news. Readers including both officials and non-officials used the gazette in order to compare judicial rulings, assess military campaigns, and follow court politics and scandals. As the first full-length study of the Qing gazette, this project shows concretely that the gazette was a powerful factor in late imperial Chinese politics and culture, and analyzes the close relationship between information and imperial practice in the Qing Empire. By arguing that the ubiquitous gazette was the most important link between the Qing state and the densely connected information society of late imperial China, this project overturns assumptions that underestimate the importance of court gazettes and the extent of popular interest in political news in Chinese history.
