  • A Failed Peripheral Hegemonic State with a Limited Mandate of Heaven: Politico-Historical Reflections of a ∗ Survivor of the Southern Tang
    DOI: 10.6503/THJCS.201806_48(2).0002 A Failed Peripheral Hegemonic State with a Limited Mandate of Heaven: Politico-Historical Reflections of a ∗ Survivor of the Southern Tang Li Cho-ying∗∗ Institute of History National Tsing Hua University ABSTRACT This article focuses on the concepts the Diaoji litan 釣磯立談 author, a survivor of the Southern Tang, developed to understand the history of the kingdom. It discusses his historical discourse and shows that one of its purposes was to secure a legitimate place in history for the Southern Tang. The author developed a crucial concept, the “peripheral hegemonic state” 偏霸, to comprehend its history. This concept contains an idea of a limited mandate of heaven, a geopolitical analysis of the Southern Tang situation, and a plan for the kingdom to compete with its rivals for the supreme political authority over all under heaven. With this concept, the Diaoji author implicitly disputes official historiography’s demeaning characterization of the Southern Tang as “pseudo” 偽, and founded upon “usurpation” 僭 and “thievery” 竊. He condemns the second ruler, Li Jing 李璟 (r. 943-961) and several ministers for abandoning the first ruler Li Bian’s 李 (r. 937-943) plan, thereby leading the kingdom astray. The work also stresses the need to recruit authentic Confucians to administer the government. As such, this article argues that the Diaoji should be understood as a politico-historical book of the late tenth century. Key words: Southern Tang, survivor, Diaoji litan 釣磯立談, peripheral hegemonic state, mandate of heaven ∗ The author thanks Professors Charles Hartman, Liang Ken-yao 梁庚堯, and the two anonymous reviewers for their thoughtful comments.

The University of Chicago has become both a source of my intellectual curiosity and a ladder I had to overcome. Fortunately, I have always enjoyed great help and support throughout the challenging journey. I cannot express enough thanks to my academic advisors—Professor Bruce Cumings, Professor Prasenjit Duara, and Professor Guy Alitto—for their dedicated teaching, inspiring guidance and continued encouragement. I have also benefited immensely, during various stages of my dissertation, from the discussions with and comments from Professor Salim Yaqub, Professor James Hevia, Professor Kenneth Pomeranz, and Professor Jacob Eyferth. Professor Dali Yang of Political Sciences and Professor Dingxin Zhao of Sociology provided valuable insights and critiques after my presentation at the East Asia Workshop. My sincere thanks also goes to Professor Shen Zhihua at the East China Normal University who initiated my historical inquiry. I am deeply indebted to my friends and colleagues without whom it would not have been possible to complete this work: Stephen Halsey, Paul Mariani, Grace Chae, Suzy Wang, Scott Relyea, Limin Teh, Nianshen Song, Covell Meyskens, Ling Zhang, Taeju Kim, Chengpang Lee, Guo Quan Seng, Geng Tian, Yang Zhang, and Noriko Yamaguchi.

The previous researches concentrated on how the socio-economic and socio- psychological changes had caused the rapid growth of the popular religious cults since the Song dynasty period, and they presumed that the rapid increase of the state and literati involvement with the local cults just reflected the increasing significance of the popular religions. However, I argue that the previous presumption was only partially right. My research intends to demonstrate that the transformation in the state and literati response to the popular religious cults was iii attributed not only to the change of the popular religions but also to that of the socio-political environment around them. In Chapter Two, I argue that during the period between the late Tang and the Five Dynasties period the difference in the local policies between the northern five dynasties and southern regional regimes caused the disparity in their stances on the popular religious beliefs.

  • A Summary of Textual Research on the Liji 禮記 (Rites Records) Liu Yucai and Luke Habberstad
    A Summary of Textual Research on the Liji 禮記 (Rites Records) Liu Yucai and Luke Habberstad The Status of the Liji as a Classical Text The Liji is one of three texts that for centuries comprised the most important sources for classical ritual. The other two of these so-called san li 三禮 (Three Rites texts) are the Yili 儀禮 (Ceremonial) and Zhouli 周禮 (Rites of Zhou). After the collapse of the Eastern Han 東漢 (24 CE-220), the authority of the Liji increased gradually. While an important step in the Liji’s ascendance came when Zheng Xuan 鄭玄 (127-200 CE) completed his commentary on the text in the late Eastern Han, it was not until the Tang dynasty that the Liji became officially designated as a jing 經 (classic).1 Later, in the Song period, it was recognized as the first and most important of the Three Rites texts, occupying a key position amongst the Four Books (Sishu 四書) and Five Classics (Wujing 五經). To wit, two of the Four Books, the “Da xue” 大學 (Great Learning) and “Zhong yong” 中庸 (Doctrine of the Mean), were actually chapters from the Liji. As first-time readers of the Three Rites texts quickly discover, the Liji, Yili, and Zhouli analyze ritual from significantly different perspectives.2 The Zhouli outlines an idealized political system, describing the duties of more than three hundred bureaucratic offices. The Yili details specific procedures to follow during different ceremonies, including capping, marriage, mourning, sacrificial offerings, archery competitions, banquets, official visits, and court audiences. The seventeen chapters of the Yili all lay out specific sets of protocol, with significant overlap in content across chapters.
