Moreover, the meaning of the terms, and the ratios of correspon- dence between them also varied greatly according to time and place. All of the figures below should be treated as approximations. Area: 1 mu =7,260 square feet or 0.14 acre 1 mu =10 fen =100 li =1,000 hao =10,000 si 100 mu =1 qing Because these ratios did not vary, measures of area in the text have been converted into decimal units of mu and qing. The situation is made more complex because plot sizes in Fujian were often expressed in terms of a measure of volume corresponding to the amount of seed that should be planted. Capacity: 1 picul (shi/dan) =67 liters or 99 quarts 1 picul =4 baskets luo( ) =10 pecks (dou)=17 boxes (tong) =100 pints (sheng) Weight: 1 picul (shi/dan) =133 lbs 1 picul =100 catty jin( ) =16 taels (liang) Length: 1 li =1/3 mile 1 zhang =3.581 meters or 12 feet 6 inches 1 zhang =10 chi xi xii Terms for Measures and Money Money: Value is expressed in three main ways in texts translated here. 1. In terms of silver: 1 tael (liang) =37.8 grams of silver 1 tael =10 mace qian( ) =10 candareen (fen) 2. In terms of silver coin: 1 silver dollar (yuan) =10 jiao Many types of silver dollars were in use in Ming, Qing, and Republican China. Two of the most common terms used were the big silver dollar (da yuan) and the foreign silver dollar (yang yuan). 3. In terms of copper coin (wen) Translator’s Preface The important and complex role of agnatic kinship in the history of Chinese local society must have been impressed on Zheng Zhenman since his youth in a village in Putian, where stately ancestral halls and rows of huge courtyard-style family dwellings have survived the tur- moil of the Maoist period. In Family Lineage Organization and Social Change in Ming and Qing Fujian, Zheng outlines a new model of the history of agnatic kinship in Chinese history. He begins by build- ing a typology of household and lineage organizations and a struc- tural model for the relationship between the two. Next, he considers the internal development cycles of households and lineages in different historical contexts, elucidating the impact of geographical and histor- ical factors on the development of the Chinese lineage. He then links the emergence of lineage society to broader trends in Chinese eco- nomic, political, and cultural history. Zheng’s work will strike Western readers by its strong empirical basis, and its use of rich and complex local documents, particularly genealogies, and also contracts of land sale and household division, stone inscriptions, official documents, and the writings of local elites. These sources provide a candid and little-known commoner’s perspec- tive on the crucial issues of everyday life that intrigue the social histo- rian: how did families or lineage organizations avoid taxes, corvee labor, or military conscription? How did a family prevent dissolution, given the principle of partible inheritance? How did individuals, house- holds, and lineages respond to the growing commercialization of the Chinese economy from the mid-Ming to Qing dynasties? Was capital- ism incompatible with the Chinese lineage, or did the lineage possess the flexibility to transform itself into an efficient economic investment organization? The wealth of source materials gathered over the course 1 2 Zheng Zhenman of ten years of fieldwork and translated here permits new and more comprehensive answers to these questions, and provides a broader his- torical context for research by modern anthropologists. The use of these types of materials for historical research also presents new meth- odological challenges that will be of interest to historians not just of China but also of other societies. In the late 1970s, Zheng was a member of one of the first cohorts to return to the universities after the Cultural Revolution, studying history at Xiamen University, where Fu Yiling and Yang Guozhen were teaching the collection and analysis of local documents. Their students would later spread throughout the universities of southern China and lead a profound rethinking of many aspects of Ming and Qing social and economic history. In the 1980s, Zheng Zhenman traveled widely throughout Fujian, gathering documents and writing about some cen- tral issues in the history of the Ming and Qing: the processes and in- stitutions of local society; the relationship between local society and the state, and the relationships between economics, ideology or norms, and behavior. His ideas were first introduced in the pages of the journal Chinese Social and Economic History Research, published by the his- tory department at Xiamen, where Zheng continues to teach. Family Lineage Organization and Social Change in Ming and Qing Fujian, which originated as Zheng’s 1989 doctoral thesis and was published in 1992, is a synthesis and further development of this historical project. It relies on new sources and comes to new conclusions about society in the late imperial period and, perhaps most importantly, offers readers a contemporary Chinese perspective on central issues in Chinese history. The Scholarly Context: Chinese and Western Scholarship on Household and Lineage Zheng Zhenman is a product of a different intellectual tradition from that which informs most Western-language work on the Chinese household and lineage, and it is therefore useful both to set his work in its own context and to discuss briefly its relation to the Western- language literature.

The land ownership in West Fujian changed from the landlord private system in feudal society to the public ownership owned by peasants. During the Central Soviet Area, the living standard of peasants in Western Fujian has improved significantly and the society became more stable. Land was the main ecological factor in the complex ecosystem of land-peasant-ecology in Western Fujian Soviet Area, which had the characteristics of low productivity and inadequate land use and so on. Key Words: Central Soviet Area; Western Fujian; Land Ownership Western Fujian was the main component of the made the concentration of landholding through land former Central Soviet area.

    CHAPTER 1 RESEARCH ORIENTATION 1.1 INTRODUCTION According to Confucianism, filial piety is the most significant and highest virtue of all ethical teachings. The most important classical literature in Confucianism concerning filial piety is Shao Chien1 (Book of Filial Piety). Probably written in the second to third century B.C., the Book of Filial Piety describes how ancient kings and sages practiced the duties of filial piety rites to heaven and to their parents. The concept of filial piety has influenced the history of China for over 2500 years, and also is the stabilizing and unifying force of the Chinese family system (Chao 1987:21). A teaching of Confucius, filial piety is emphasized in decidedly Confucian schools. The Analects of Confucius 2:5 reports that Confucius said the following with regard to the propriety of ancestor worship: Lord Meng Yi asked about filial piety. The Master said: “When your parents are alive, serve them according to the ritual. When they die, bury them according to the ritual, and make sacrifices to them according to the ritual” (Leys, trans.1997:6-7). Here, “ritual” refers to ancestor worship. Ethically, filial piety is the primary 1Shao is the Chinese character 孝, which means “(filial)” or “孝道 (filial piety).” This character is the combination of two words, (“old person”) and 子 (“child”), which means that the child supports the old person. The inner meaning of the Chinese character “Shao” is the relational perspective of filial piety. Chien is the Chinese character 經, meaning “scripture.” Shao Chien is written in the form of dialogue on the teachings of filial piety.

Dynamics of Disintegration: The Later Han Empire (25-220CE) & Its Northwestern Frontier Abstract As a frontier region of the Qin-Han (221BCE-220CE) empire, the northwest was a new territory to the Chinese realm. Until the Later Han (25-220CE) times, some portions of the northwestern region had only been part of imperial soil for one hundred years. Its coalescence into the Chinese empire was a product of long-term expansion and conquest, which arguably defined the egionr 's military nature. Furthermore, in the harsh natural environment of the region, only tough people could survive, and unsurprisingly, the region fostered vigorous warriors. Mixed culture and multi-ethnicity featured prominently in this highly militarized frontier society, which contrasted sharply with the imperial center that promoted unified cultural values and stood in the way of a greater degree of transregional integration. As this project shows, it was the northwesterners who went through a process of political peripheralization during the Later Han times played a harbinger role of the disintegration of the empire and eventually led to the breakdown of the early imperial system in Chinese history.

  • The Han Commanderies in Early Korean History: a Reconsideration of the Han Commanderies from a Broader East Asian Perspective
    The Han Commanderies in Early Korean History: A Reconsideration of the Han Commanderies from a Broader East Asian Perspective edited by Mark E. Byington Cambridge, MA: Harvard University, 2013 — Park Jun-hyeong Yonsei University The first state in Korean history, Old Chosŏn, was destroyed in 108 BC by an invasion from the Han empire. The Han empire established three com manderies within Chosŏn territory, namely Lelang, Lintun and Zhenfan. The next year the Han empire established the Xuantu com- mandery in the territory of Old Chosŏn’s ally Yemaek, thus completing what are now called the four Han commanderies (Hansagun). Even before the collapse of Old Chosŏn, the Han empire established the Canghai commandery in 128 BC, taking advantage of the Ye Lord Namnyŏ’s opposition to Old Chosŏn’s King Ugŏ (右渠王), but this commandery was abolished in 126 BC because of the difficulties in administering it. In 82 BC, Zhenfan was absorbed into Lelang, and Lintun was absorbed into Xuantu. In 75 BC, the Xuantu commandery, under attack from indigenous groups, had its capital moved to Liaodong. The area of the abolished Lintun commandery, which had up to that point been administered by Xuantu, was placed under Lelang control, and was controlled by a commandant of the Eastern Section (東部都尉 Dongbu duwei) based in Lelang. In 204 AD, Gongsun Kang combined the seven districts in Lelang south of the district Dunyuhyeon (屯有縣) that had been 203 under the administration of the commandant of the Southern Section and placed them under a newly-established Daifang commandery. Later, Lelang and Daifang both were weakened by the collapse of the Western Jin empire which had controlled them, and Koguryŏ took advantage of this situation to take over Lelang in 313 AD and Daifang in 314 AD.
