  • The Local in the Imperial Vision: Landscape, Topography, and Geography in Southern Song Map Guides and Gazetteers
    The Local in the Imperial Vision: Landscape, Topography, and Geography in Southern Song Map Guides and Gazetteers Fan Lin, Leiden University Abstract This article examines the generation of topographic maps and geographical writings about local regions of the Southern Song (1127–1279). It identifies two distinct yet interrelated models in the making of local regions in maps and writings: first, map guides (tujing ), which were produced and updated regularly at different tiers of local government for administrative purposes; second, a growing number of monographs, some of them also named “map guides” (tujing) and others “gazetteers” (zhi or difang zhi ), which were compiled by local literati scholars. Upon close examination of these two models, one finds that the local consciousness and identity voiced by the provincial elite were congruous with centralist sentiment and discourse at this time. Specifically, the literati described features of local topographies within an imperial context and in the language of the authorities. Moreover, the wide circulation of these writings also contributed to the collective imagining of a Song Empire in the daily life of the society. In sum, this article argues that there was a close relationship between cartographic discourse and the production of empire at the local level. On the one hand, the state of the Southern Song, traditionally thought to have lost momentum in local control, still proactively maintained regular checks on local geography through mapmaking. On the other hand, local literati strived to establish ties with the central state in various ways while documenting their communities in gazetteers. Keywords: Song dynasty, map guide, tujing, gazetteer, difang zhi, geography, topography Introduction Map guides (tujing , literally “map and treatise”) and gazetteers (difang zhi , literally “record of a local region”) were the two dominant genres of geographical writing in the Song dynasty (960–1279).

  • Women Rulers in Imperial China
    NAN N Ü Keith McMahonNan Nü 15-2/ Nan (2013) Nü 15 179-218(2013) 179-218 www.brill.com/nanu179 ISSN 1387-6805 (print version) ISSN 1568-5268 (online version) NANU Women Rulers in Imperial China Keith McMahon (University of Kansas) [email protected] Abstract “Women Rulers in Imperial China”is about the history and characteristics of rule by women in China from the Han dynasty to the Qing, especially focusing on the Tang dynasty ruler Wu Zetian (625-705) and the Song dynasty Empress Liu. The usual reason that allowed a woman to rule was the illness, incapacity, or death of her emperor-husband and the extreme youth of his son the successor. In such situations, the precedent was for a woman to govern temporarily as regent and, when the heir apparent became old enough, hand power to him. But many women ruled without being recognized as regent, and many did not hand power to the son once he was old enough, or even if they did, still continued to exert power. In the most extreme case, Wu Zetian declared herself emperor of her own dynasty. She was the climax of the long history of women rulers. Women after her avoided being compared to her but retained many of her methods of legitimization, such as the patronage of art and religion, the use of cosmic titles and vocabulary, and occasional gestures of impersonating a male emperor. When women ruled, it was an in-between time when notions and language about something that was not supposed to be nevertheless took shape and tested the limits of what could be made acceptable.

  • Integration and Separation: the Framing of the Liao Dynasty (907–1125) in Chinese Sources
    liao dynasty in chinese sources naomi standen Integration and Separation: The Framing of the Liao Dynasty (907–1125) in Chinese Sources he glories of material culture (combined with the shrewd public T relations of today’s Inner Mongolian archaeological hierarchy) are beginning to draw unprecedented attention to the Liao 遼 dynasty (907–1125). We might wonder why it has taken so long. The Liao was the dominant power in northeast Asia for most of the tenth century and played a leading role in the multi-state system that continued to prevail during the rest of China’s Middle Period. Yet until the last few years, scholarship on the period has devoted itself largely to the Song 宋 dynasty (960–1276), and has cast the Liao sometimes as supporting actor but more usually in a bit part as the first of the “conquest dy- nasties,” and as such little more than the implacable enemy Other of the Song and its predecessors. This is not least due to the imbalance in surviving textual sources: whereas the Song has bestowed us with a wealth of private and governmental material of all kinds, for the Liao we have little more than official history and a few envoy reports. As a separate work from the Song shi 宋史 (Song History), the Liao shi 遼史 (Liao History) is easy to set aside unless we are specifically studying Liao-Song interaction.1 This may be less of an issue regarding the ma- ture Song dynasty of the eleventh century, when the discreteness of the two texts reflects the distinct political divisions of the time.

  • War, Politics and Society Inearly Modern China, 900-1795
    War, Politics and Society in Early Modern China, 900–1795 In this new take on China’s early modern history, Peter Lorge presents a fresh overview of the repeated recreation of the Chinese empire through military force. Emphasizing the relationship between the military and politics, and China’s power as an empire, Lorge argues that the strength of the territorial claims and political impact of each dynasty were determined primarily by their military capacity rather than by their cultural characteristics. Using a chronological narrative, War, Politics and Society in Early Modern China, 900–1795 breaks free of the dynastic boundaries that shape much scholarship in this area, focusing instead on the growing power of local elites. This power eventually led to a system of loose central control – to the sacrifice of real, centralized power over local affairs. Ideal for students of military and Asian studies, War, Politics and Society in Early Modern China, 900–1795 is essential reading for anyone interested in the military history of China. Peter Lorge is Senior Lecturer in Chinese History and Film at Vanderbilt University.

  • Negotiating the Border in Song China: Foreign Policy, Border Management, and Border-Crossings, 1005-1122
    NEGOTIATING THE BORDER IN SONG CHINA: FOREIGN POLICY, BORDER MANAGEMENT, AND BORDER-CROSSINGS, 1005-1122 BY YI YANG THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in East Asian Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2017 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Professor Kai-wing Chow ABSTRACT This thesis discusses the issue of foreign policy, border management, and border- crossing incidents during Song-Liao peacetime (1005-1122). It focuses on one of the earliest borderlines drawn between two great powers of northeast Asia in the eleventh century, the Liao and the Song. This thesis not only traces its origin, establishment, and maintenance, it also spotlights a specific phenomenon of border-crossing, by generals and officials as well as commoners. By focusing on these border-crossing incidents and their repercussions in government, sometimes at decision-making level, this thesis tries to portray a more detailed and accurate of the Song-Liao border, and explore the importance impact of various issues happened in borderlands to Song policies. Based on officials records, literary collections of literati, memorials by officials, and travelogues written by envoys, this thesis addresses several questions: How was the border between the Song and the Liao established in the first place? Ever since its establishment, how did both states stabilize and maintain the border? What were the developments of previously existed diplomatic practices? What were the new developments

This tradition is usually seen as going back to the “Illustrations of Tributary States,” painted by Emperor Yuan in the Liang dynasty 梁元帝 [r. 552-554] in the first half of the sixth century. This series of paintings not only had a lasting influence on aesthetic history but also gave rise to a highly distinctive intellectual tradition in the development of Chinese thought: images of foreign emis- saries were used to convey the Celestial Empire’s sense of pride and self-confidence, with representations of strange customs from foreign countries serving as a foil for the image of China as a radiant universal empire at the center of the world. The tra- dition of “Illustrations of Tributary States” was still very much alive during the time of the Song dynasty [960-1279], when China had to compete with equally powerful neighboring states, the empire’s territory had been significantly diminished, and the Chinese population had become ethnically more homogeneous. In this article, the “Illustrations of the Tributary States of the Myriad Regions” [Wanfang zhigong tu 萬方職貢圖] attributed to Li Gonglin 李公麟 [ca.

  • Towards a History of Eastern Tibet During the Northern Song Dynasty (960 1127)
    Towards a History of Eastern Tibet during the Northern Song Dynasty (960 1127) Roger Greatrex 1. Introduction This paper is a contribution to the writing of Tibetan history, and specifically the history of Eastern Tibet. The Tibetan king gLang dar ma was killed in 842, and upon his death there followed what is usually described as a period of turmoil and upheaval in Tibet. There does not exist any extant contemporary history of Central Tibet, much less Eastern Tibet, for the centuries immediately following these dramatic events. To achieve its aim, this paper reinterprets Chinese records for the period from the Tibetan perspective, rather than the Chinese perspective from which they were first set down. This type of re- interpretation has been prosecuted with success by scholars of the early history who have reread Roman histories in this light.1 Furthermore, this paper does not encompass the entire Northern Song dynasty on this occasion but deals with events up to the middle of the eleventh century, and thus leaves the remainder of the dynasty for subsequent study. That China was very aware of Tibet, and very concerned with its relations with Tibet, is clear from the large amount of material found in works such as the imperially sponsored Outstanding Models from the Storehouse of Literature (Cefu yuangui) that was completed in 1013, and the Long Draft of the Contin- ued Comprehensive Mirror for Aid in Government (Xu Zizhi tongjian changbian) by Li Tao (1115 1184). Both of these books fortunately are available in reproductions of the original editions, allowing us to read the works as they were written without the questionable benefit of later editing.

Bol Author: Yinan Luo Ideas in Practice: the Political Economy of Chinese State Intervention during the New Policies Period (1068-1085) Abstract I take the New Policies period (1068-1085) to be a critical juncture in Chinese history during which, for the first time, the Chinese state initiated systematic intervention into the market. This period witnessed the failure of plans to shape the collective action of bureaucrats and coordinate market actors through a host of organizing mechanisms.
