During this period, I have had the privilege and honor to work with many wonderful and erudite mentors, colleagues, and friends. This work would not have been completed without their support. During my graduate years in the Department of Central Eurasian Studies, I was fortunate to study and work with a group of top scholars in the field of Inner Asian studies. First of all, I want to thank Professor Christopher P. Atwood. He has been a great mentor and inspiring soul in my academic career. Even after leaving Indiana University, he was able to serve as co-chair of my committee and was always very supportive of me in the whole dissertation writing process. Professor György Kara first served as my advisor of the MA program and later served as the co- chair of my dissertation committee. He is gentle and in-the-know. Every time I bring a question to his office, he always speaks softly and gives me a detailed and satisfying answer, even though he may modestly say that he is not the specialist of that field. Professor Elliot Sperling and Christopher Beckwith taught me Tibetan language and history. It is a great loss and pity that I am able not to have Professor Sperling on my committee as he passed away four months before my oral defense. Professor Ron Sela and Edward Lazzerini introduced Central Asian and the frontier history of imperial Russia to me. I am also fortunate to have Professor Sela as my committee member as he shared his broad knowledge in Central Asian history with me. I also want to thank Mongolian bagsh L. Tserenchunt, Tibetan rGen-lags Gedun Rabsal, and other European language instructors for their excellent language training. I am also grateful for the administrative assistance of April, Karen, and Jackie. v In the Department of History, I first studied the history and historiography of nineteenth and twentieth Century China with Professor Klaus Mühlhahn. Later on, Professor Kevin Martin taught me how to integrate socio-cultural theories in writing history through Middle East historiography, and Professor Kuromiya Hiroaki 黒宮広昭 guided me in the field of Soviet history. I am also fortunate to have Professor Jonathan Schlesinger as my committee member; he shared his knowledge of late imperial China and his experience of working on the Mongolian archives. Professor Lynn Struve also kindly helped me at the very beginning of my time at IU. I am grateful to all of them. In Mongolia, I want to thank my sponsor Professor P. Delgerjargal at National University of Mongolia (NUM). He helped me go through the whole process of accessing the National Central Archives of Mongolia. P. Lkham first introduced me to the materials about the descendants of Han Chinese settlers in the Great Shabi. S. Chuluun and E. Jigmeddorj introduced me to the researchers and resources of the Institute of History (now the Institute of History and Archaeology) Mongolian Academy of Sciences. I also want to thank J. Urangua and O. Oyunjargal (NUM), and L. Altanzaya and J. Gerelbadrakh (Mongolian National University of Education), D. Ulziibaatar (National Central Archives of Mongolia), Marc Tasse (American Center for Mongolian Studies) for their generous help in Mongolia. In China, I also want to thank Professor Luo Xin 羅新 for inviting me to the History Department of Peking University. At Peking University, I am also grateful to Professor Dang Baohai 党寶海 and Zan Tao 昝濤 for hosting me and helping me settle down. While researching in China, I am indebted to B. Oyunbilig (Renmin University of China), Yuan Jian 袁劍 and Sarangerel (Minzu University of China), Ding Yizhuang 定宜莊, Li Jinxiu 李錦繡, and Zhang Jian 張建 (Chinese Academy of Social Sciences), Xiao Chun 曉春 (Beijing Academy of Social vi Sciences), Yu Yong 于永 and Zhang Jinhai 張晉海 (Inner Mongolia Normal University), Sodbilig and Tian Mi 田宓 (Inner Mongolia University), U. Temur (Nanjing University). Without their help, my trip to China would not have been as fruitful as I expected. In Taiwan, I want to thank Professor Chen Hsi-yuan 陳熙遠 who warmly hosted me at the Institute of History and Philology, Academia Sinica. I also benefitted from the Reading Group on Chinese and Western Archives organized by Professor Lai Hui-min 賴惠敏 at the Institute of Modern History, Academia Sinica. Part of this dissertation had been presented at the panels of AAS-in-Asia (2016) and AAS (2017) annual conferences. I want to thank all the panelists including Professor Helen F. Siu 蕭 鳳霞 and Michael Szonyi as panel chairs, Onuma Takahiro 小沼孝博 and Jodi Weinstein as discussants, and all panelists: Professor Qiu Yuanyuan 邱源媛, Eric Schluessel, Hung Li-wan 洪 麗完, and Kung Ling-wei 孔令偉, Chen Boyi 陳博翼, and Lu Cheng-Heng 盧正恆. I also want to thank Profesor Gray Tuttle for organizing the workshop: Road and Belt Networking among Modern China, Inner and Southeast Asia (2016) and for letting me share my research with other prominent scholars. I have benefitted from their insightful comments and discussions. I began to study Manchu and Mongolian languages and history at National Chengchi University in Taipei and was fortunate to work with Professor Chuang Chi-fa 莊吉發 and Lan Mei-hua 藍美華. In the time before I went to the US, I worked as an adjunct assistant for Academician and Professor Wang Ming-ke 王明珂 at the Institute of History and Philology, Academia Sinica. I am ever grateful for their help and inspiration during the beginning of my academic career. vii Having stayed in the US, Mongolia, China, and Taiwan, many friends and colleagues also contributed to this project in different ways.

I have to stop here before this list goes on too long, but I know this list can be extended. I cordially thank you all for your support and help. I also want to thank Keren Mastaki for editing my dissertation. This work would not exist without the great collections of these archives and libraries: the Herman B. Wells Library of Indiana University, the National Central Archives of Mongolia, the First Historical Archives of China, the Inner Mongolia University Library, the Inner Mongolia Academy of Social Science Library, the National Palace Museum Library, the Fu Ssu- viii nien Library and Kuo Ting-yi Library of Academia Sinica, and the Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs Commission, Taiwan. I want to thank those librarians for their assistance. I also want to thank the College of Arts and Sciences, Indiana University and the Institute of History and Philology, Academia Sinica for their generous financial support. Last but not least, I want to thank my family, especially my mother Huang Hsueh-o 黃雪 娥. Without your support and sacrifice, I would not have gone this far. Here I dedicate this dissertation to my family. ix Wei-chieh Tsai MONGOLIZATION OF HAN CHINESE AND MANCHU SETTLERS IN QING MONGOLIA, 1700–1911 Inspired by the recent approaches of the New Qing History school centering on ethnicity and empire and the South Chinese Studies school focusing on local societies, this dissertation probes into Han Chinese and Manchu becoming Mongols in Qing Mongolia using the Qing archives in Mongolian, Manchu, and Chinese preserved in Mongolia, China and Taiwan. This research focuses on two case studies: 1) Descendants of Han Chinese settlers in Outer Mongolia; 2) Offspring of Manchu bondservants as human dowry in Inner Mongolia.

Manchus: A Horse of a Different Color by Hannah Knight Abstract: The question of identity has been one of the biggest questions addressed to humanity. Whether in terms of a country, a group or an individual, the exact definition is almost as difficult to answer as to what constitutes a group. The Manchus, an ethnic group in China, also faced this dilemma. It was an issue that lasted throughout their entire time as rulers of the Qing Dynasty (1644- 1911) and thereafter. Though the guidelines and group characteristics changed throughout that period one aspect remained clear: they did not sinicize with the Chinese Culture. At the beginning of their rule, the Manchus implemented changes that would transform the appearance of China, bringing it closer to the identity that the world recognizes today. In the course of examining three time periods, 1644, 1911, and the 1930’s, this paper looks at the significant events of the period, the changing aspects, and the Manchus and the Qing Imperial Court’s relations with their greater Han Chinese subjects.

  • William T. Rowe
    Bao Shichen: An Early Nineteenth-Century Chinese Agrarian Reformer William T. Rowe Johns Hopkins University Prefatory note to the Agrarian Studies Program: I was greatly flattered to receive an invitation from Jim Scott to present to this exalted group, and could not refuse. I’m also a bit embarrassed, however, because I’m not working on anything these days that falls significantly within your arena of interest. I am studying in general a reformist scholar of the early nineteenth century, named Bao Shichen. The contexts in which I have tended to view him (and around which I organized panels for the Association for Asian Studies Annual Meetings in 2007 and 2009) have been (1) the broader reformist currents of his era, spawned by a deepening sense of dynastic crisis after ca. 1800, and (2) an enduring Qing political “counter discourse” beginning in the mid-seventeenth century and continuing down to, and likely through, the Republican Revolution of 1911. Neither of these rubrics are directly concerned with “agrarian studies.” Bao did, however, have quite a bit to say in passing about agriculture, village life, and especially local rural governance. In this paper I have tried to draw together some of this material, but I fear it is as yet none too neat. In my defense, I would add that previously in my career I have done a fair amount of work on what legitimately is agrarian history, and indeed have taught courses on that subject (students are less interested in such offerings now than they used to be, in my observation).

  • Did the Imperially Commissioned Manchu Rites for Sacrifices to The
    religions Article Did the Imperially Commissioned Manchu Rites for Sacrifices to the Spirits and to Heaven Standardize Manchu Shamanism? Xiaoli Jiang Department of History and Culture, Jilin Normal University, Siping 136000, China; [email protected] Received: 26 October 2018; Accepted: 4 December 2018; Published: 5 December 2018 Abstract: The Imperially Commissioned Manchu Rites for Sacrifices to the Spirits and to Heaven (Manzhou jishen jitian dianli), the only canon on shamanism compiled under the auspices of the Qing dynasty, has attracted considerable attention from a number of scholars. One view that is held by a vast majority of these scholars is that the promulgation of the Manchu Rites by the Qing court helped standardize shamanic rituals, which resulted in a decline of wild ritual practiced then and brought about a similarity of domestic rituals. However, an in-depth analysis of the textual context of the Manchu Rites, as well as a close inspection of its various editions reveal that the Qing court had no intention to formalize shamanism and did not enforce the Manchu Rites nationwide. In fact, the decline of the Manchu wild ritual can be traced to the preconquest period, while the domestic ritual had been formed before the Manchu Rites was prepared and were not unified even at the end of the Qing dynasty. With regard to the ritual differences among the various Manchu clans, the Qing rulers took a more benign view and it was unnecessary to standardize them. The incorporation of the Chinese version of the Manchu Rites into Siku quanshu demonstrates the Qing court’s struggles to promote its cultural status and legitimize its rule of China.

    © 2013 Yi-ling Lin CULTURAL ENGAGEMENT IN MISSIONARY CHINA: AMERICAN MISSIONARY NOVELS 1880-1930 BY YI-LING LIN DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral committee: Professor Waïl S. Hassan, Chair Professor Emeritus Leon Chai, Director of Research Professor Emeritus Michael Palencia-Roth Associate Professor Robert Tierney Associate Professor Gar y G. Xu Associate Professor Rania Huntington, University of Wisconsin at Madison Abstract From a comparative standpoint, the American Protestant missionary enterprise in China was built on a paradox in cross-cultural encounters. In order to convert the Chinese—whose religion they rejected—American missionaries adopted strategies of assimilation (e.g. learning Chinese and associating with the Chinese) to facilitate their work. My dissertation explores how American Protestant missionaries negotiated the rejection-assimilation paradox involved in their missionary work and forged a cultural identification with China in their English novels set in China between the late Qing and 1930. I argue that the missionaries’ novelistic expression of that identification was influenced by many factors: their targeted audience, their motives, their work, and their perceptions of the missionary enterprise, cultural difference, and their own missionary identity. Hence, missionary novels may not necessarily be about conversion, the missionaries’ primary objective but one that suggests their resistance to Chinese culture, or at least its religion. Instead, the missionary novels I study culminate in a non-conversion theme that problematizes the possibility of cultural assimilation and identification over ineradicable racial and cultural differences.

  • Selected Works of Chokan Valikhanov Selected Works of Chokan Valikhanov
    SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV CHOKAN OF WORKS SELECTED SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV Pioneering Ethnographer and Historian of the Great Steppe When Chokan Valikhanov died of tuberculosis in 1865, aged only 29, the Russian academician Nikolai Veselovsky described his short life as ‘a meteor flashing across the field of oriental studies’. Set against his remarkable output of official reports, articles and research into the history, culture and ethnology of Central Asia, and more important, his Kazakh people, it remains an entirely appropriate accolade. Born in 1835 into a wealthy and powerful Kazakh clan, he was one of the first ‘people of the steppe’ to receive a Russian education and military training. Soon after graduating from Siberian Cadet Corps at Omsk, he was taking part in reconnaissance missions deep into regions of Central Asia that had seldom been visited by outsiders. His famous mission to Kashgar in Chinese Turkestan, which began in June 1858 and lasted for more than a year, saw him in disguise as a Tashkent mer- chant, risking his life to gather vital information not just on current events, but also on the ethnic make-up, geography, flora and fauna of this unknown region. Journeys to Kuldzha, to Issyk-Kol and to other remote and unmapped places quickly established his reputation, even though he al- ways remained inorodets – an outsider to the Russian establishment. Nonetheless, he was elected to membership of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society and spent time in St Petersburg, where he was given a private audience by the Tsar. Wherever he went he made his mark, striking up strong and lasting friendships with the likes of the great Russian explorer and geographer Pyotr Petrovich Semyonov-Tian-Shansky and the writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

    Wang et al. Hereditas (2018) 155:19 https://doi.org/10.1186/s41065-018-0057-5 RESEARCH Open Access Genetic structure, divergence and admixture of Han Chinese, Japanese and Korean populations Yuchen Wang1,2, Dongsheng Lu1,2, Yeun-Jun Chung3 and Shuhua Xu1,2,4,5,6* Abstract Background: Han Chinese, Japanese and Korean, the three major ethnic groups of East Asia, share many similarities in appearance, language and culture etc., but their genetic relationships, divergence times and subsequent genetic exchanges have not been well studied. Results: We conducted a genome-wide study and evaluated the population structure of 182 Han Chinese, 90 Japanese and 100 Korean individuals, together with the data of 630 individuals representing 8 populations wordwide. Our analyses revealed that Han Chinese, Japanese and Korean populations have distinct genetic makeup and can be well distinguished based on either the genome wide data or a panel of ancestry informative markers (AIMs). Their genetic structure corresponds well to their geographical distributions, indicating geographical isolation played a critical role in driving population differentiation in East Asia. The most recent common ancestor of the three populations was dated back to 3000 ~ 3600 years ago. Our analyses also revealed substantial admixture within the three populations which occurred subsequent to initial splits, and distinct gene introgression from surrounding populations, of which northern ancestral component is dominant. Conclusions: These estimations and findings facilitate to understanding population history and mechanism of human genetic diversity in East Asia, and have implications for both evolutionary and medical studies. Keywords: Han Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Genetic ancestry, Population structure, Population divergence, Admixture, SNP Background existed in Korean until their recent abolition in the East Asia is one of the world’s most populated places, 1940s [1].

  • Growth and Decline of Muslim Hui Enclaves in Beijing
    EG1402.fm Page 104 Thursday, June 21, 2007 12:59 PM Growth and Decline of Muslim Hui Enclaves in Beijing Wenfei Wang, Shangyi Zhou, and C. Cindy Fan1 Abstract: The Hui people are a distinct ethnic group in China in terms of their diet and Islamic religion. In this paper, we examine the divergent residential and economic develop- ment of Niujie and Madian, two Hui enclaves in the city of Beijing. Our analysis is based on archival and historical materials, census data, and information collected from recent field work. We show that in addition to social perspectives, geographic factors—location relative to the northward urban expansion of Beijing, and the character of urban administrative geog- raphy in China—are important for understanding the evolution of ethnic enclaves. Journal of Economic Literature, Classification Numbers: O10, I31, J15. 3 figures, 2 tables, 60 refer- ences. INTRODUCTION esearch on ethnic enclaves has focused on their residential and economic functions and Ron the social explanations for their existence and persistence. Most studies do not address the role of geography or the evolution of ethnic enclaves, including their decline. In this paper, we examine Niujie and Madian, two Muslim Hui enclaves in Beijing, their his- tory, and recent divergent paths of development. While Niujie continues to thrive as a major residential area of the Hui people in Beijing and as a prominent supplier of Hui foods and services for the entire city, both the Islamic character and the proportion of Hui residents in Madian have declined. We argue that Madian’s location with respect to recent urban expan- sion in Beijing and the administrative geography of the area have contributed to the enclave’s decline.

  • Part 7: Invasions, Rebellions, and the End of Imperial China Part 7 Introduction Pre-Modern Vs
    Part 7: Invasions, Rebellions, and the End of Imperial China Part 7 Introduction Pre-modern vs. Modern When does modern Chinese history begin? Some say during the Opium War, the late 1830s and 1840s. Others date modern history from 1919 and the May Fourth Movement. In this course we take the 18th century, when the Qing was at its height, to begin modern Chinese history. Considering that modern history bears some relation to the present, what events signified the beginning of that period? In Europe, historians often chose 1789, the French Revolution. The signifying events, the transitional events, for China begin with its transition from empire to nation-state, with population growth, with the inclusion of Xinjiang and Tibet during the Qianlong reign, and with the challenges of maintaining unity in a multi-ethnic population. Encounter with the West In the 19th century this evolving state ran head-on into the mobile, militarized nation of Great Britain, the likes of which it has never seen before. This encounter was nothing like the visits from Jesuit missionaries (footnote 129 on page 208) or Lord Macartney (page 253). It challenged all the principles of imperial rule. Foreign Enterprise Today’s Chinese economy has its roots in the Sino-foreign enterprises born during these early encounters. Opium was one of its main enterprises. Christianity was a kind of enterprise. These enterprises combined to weaken and humiliate the Qing. As would be said of a later time, these foreign insults were a “disease of the skin.”165 It was the Taiping Rebellion that struck at the heart.
