Official Chinese Sources on Recent Tibetan History: Local Gazetteers, Wenshi Ziliao, and CCP Histories Official Chinese Sources on Recent Tibetan History: Local Gazetteers, Wenshi Ziliao, and CCP Histories Benno R. Weiner Columbia University [email protected] The following bibliography is the result of a desire to track down extant and available officially produced sources on the recent history of Tibetan regions of China. The purpose is not only to identify such volumes but also to locate them in accessible libraries outside of the PRC. The emphasis is on local gazetteers (difang zhi, sometimes referred to in English as “annals”), wenshi ziliao (“Literary and Historical Materials”), and Chinese Communist Party Organizational Histories (gongchandang zuzhi shi ziliao) that have been compiled and published since the early 1980s. These include provincial (sheng)-, prefectural (zhou)-, and county (xian)-level materials, and parallel-level “autonomous” and urban administrative districts. Local gazetteers are part of a distinctive “Chinese” tradition of historical writing, while wenshi ziliao represent a more recent way of recording the past favored early on by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for its perceived ablity to record the history of the subaltern and revolutionary classes. For more on either, please see Endymion Wilkinson, Chinese History: A Manual.1 Party histories, which generally cover 1949-1987, began appearing only in the 1990s. Due to both my personal research interests and the scarcity of this sort of material for the TAR, this bibliography is heavily weighted toward Eastern Tibet. All of Qinghai Province is included in this survey, as are the Tibetan autonomous administrative units of Gansu, Sichuan, and Yunnan Provinces. There are many related categories of material not included here. These include other forms of gazetteer (zhi), such as fengwu zhi (translated in one source as "annals of customs and scenery"), zhiwu zhi (gazetteer of flora) and gazetteers for individual work units and government agencies. The last have been included when they seem to hold potential importance in Tibetan regions. Thus, any monastic/temple gazetteer (sizhi) I could locate is listed below. Other categories of historical material that have been excluded include social investigations/reports (shehui diaocha/baogao), records of place names (diminglu; these are particularly numerous for Sichuan Province), chronologies of major events (dashiji; these often appear as part 1 of difang zhi), nianji (yearbooks) and census materials (renkou pucha ziliao). Likewise, materials predating the reform period (with the exception of a few wenshi ziliao series that began publication prior to the Cultural Revolution and were then continued in the reform period) and materials produced in Taiwan (often reprints of Republican or Qing material) are not included.2 1 Endymion Porter Wilkinson, Chinese History: A Manual, rev. and enl. ed, Harvard-Yenching Institute Monograph Series (Cambridge: Harvard University Asia Center for the Harvard-Yenching Institute; distributed by Harvard University Press, 2000). 2 For a bibliography that includes a more varied selection of material but is less comprehensive when it comes to recent difang zhi, wenshi ziliao and Party histories, see Kristina DyLiacco[sic], “Publishing Space Provided volume locations should not be taken as inclusive. Special attention has been placed on the holdings of Columbia University and then libraries in the Northeast United States, especially those that have reciprocal relationships with Columbia. Berkeley and University of Hong Kong have been included because each has exceptionally extensive holdings of difang zhi and wenshi ziliao. U of HK also possesses the only known available copies of many Party histories. Other libraries generally not included here but with significant holdings include UCLA, U of Michigan, Library of Congress, U of Toronto, ANU, and Waseda University. For a full list of libraries possessing each title, each volume should be searched individually. Although not cataloged on WorldCat or other external search engines, the Chinese University of Hong Kong’s University Service Centre (CUHK) has an unparalleled collection of difangzhi, including most Tibetan administrative areas for which they have been produced. As difangzhi for the TAR have apparently only recently begun to be published, the coverage for Central Tibet is still quite minimal. Note that this bibliography has been organized along the current administrative boundaries. This is because it accords with the way the materials themselves have been organized and the administrative hierarchies in which they were produced. Likewise, place names are given in the pinyin transliteration of their renderings in Chinese. Tibetan transliterations are only provided when the catalogs or databases do so, often indicating that a Tibetan title was included on the title page and/or colophon. While acknowledging the Sinocentric bias this may project, in this I follow the materials themselves―unless indicated titles are believed to be available solely in Chinese. Lastly, inconsistencies in citation format and the transliteration of Tibetan titles and names are due to inconsistencies between on-line catalogs and in input into the catalogs.

    Making the State on the Sino-Tibetan Frontier: Chinese Expansion and Local Power in Batang, 1842-1939 William M. Coleman, IV Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2014 © 2013 William M. Coleman, IV All rights reserved Abstract Making the State on the Sino-Tibetan Frontier: Chinese Expansion and Local Power in Batang, 1842-1939 William M. Coleman, IV This dissertation analyzes the process of state building by Qing imperial representatives and Republican state officials in Batang, a predominantly ethnic Tibetan region located in southwestern Sichuan Province. Utilizing Chinese provincial and national level archival materials and Tibetan language works, as well as French and American missionary records and publications, it explores how Chinese state expansion evolved in response to local power and has three primary arguments. First, by the mid-nineteenth century, Batang had developed an identifiable structure of local governance in which native chieftains, monastic leaders, and imperial officials shared power and successfully fostered peace in the region for over a century. Second, the arrival of French missionaries in Batang precipitated a gradual expansion of imperial authority in the region, culminating in radical Qing military intervention that permanently altered local understandings of power. While short-lived, centrally-mandated reforms initiated soon thereafter further integrated Batang into the Qing Empire, thereby

  • The History of Holt Cheng Starts 88Th
    The Very Beginning (written with great honor by cousin Basilio Chen 鄭/郑华树) The Roots Chang Kee traces his family roots as the 87th descendant of Duke Huan of Zheng (鄭桓公), thus posthumorously, Dr. Holt Cheng is referred to in the ancient family genealogical tradition Duke Holt Cheng, descendant of the royal family Zhou (周) from the Western Zhou Dynasty. The roots and family history of Chang Kee starts over 2,800 years ago in the Zhou Dynasty (周朝) when King Xuan (周宣王, 841 BC - 781 BC), the eleventh King of the Zhou Dynasty, made his younger brother Ji You (姬友, 806 BC-771 BC) the Duke of Zheng, establishing what would be the last bastion of Western Zhou (西周朝) and at the same time establishing the first person to adopt the surname Zheng (also Romanized as Cheng in Wades-Giles Dictionary of Pronunciation). The surname Zheng (鄭) which means "serious" or " solemn", is also unique in that is the only few surname that also has a City-State name associated it, Zhengzhou city (鄭國 or鄭州in modern times). Thus, the State of Zheng (鄭國) was officially established by the first Zheng (鄭,) Duke Huan of Zheng (鄭桓公), in 806 BC as a city-state in the middle of ancient China, modern Henan Province. Its ruling house had the surname Ji (姬), making them a branch of the Zhou royal house, and were given the rank of bo (伯,爵), corresponding roughly to an earl. Later, this branch adopted officially the surname Zheng (鄭) and thus Ji You (or Earl Ji You, as it would refer to in royal title) was known posthumously as Duke Huan of Zheng (鄭桓公) becoming the first person to adopt the family surname of Zheng (鄭), Chang Kee’s family name in Chinese.

  • Maria Khayutina • [email protected] the Tombs
    Maria Khayutina [email protected] The Tombs of Peng State and Related Questions Paper for the Chicago Bronze Workshop, November 3-7, 2010 (, 1.1.) () The discovery of the Western Zhou period’s Peng State in Heng River Valley in the south of Shanxi Province represents one of the most fascinating archaeological events of the last decade. Ruled by a lineage of Kui (Gui ) surname, Peng, supposedly, was founded by descendants of a group that, to a certain degree, retained autonomy from the Huaxia cultural and political community, dominated by lineages of Zi , Ji and Jiang surnames. Considering Peng’s location right to the south of one of the major Ji states, Jin , and quite close to the eastern residence of Zhou kings, Chengzhou , its case can be very instructive with regard to the construction of the geo-political and cultural space in Early China during the Western Zhou period. Although the publication of the full excavations’ report may take years, some preliminary observations can be made already now based on simplified archaeological reports about the tombs of Peng ruler Cheng and his spouse née Ji of Bi . In the present paper, I briefly introduce the tombs inventory and the inscriptions on the bronzes, and then proceed to discuss the following questions: - How the tombs M1 and M2 at Hengbei can be dated? - What does the equipment of the Hengbei tombs suggest about the cultural roots of Peng? - What can be observed about Peng’s relations to the Gui people and to other Kui/Gui- surnamed lineages? 1. General Information The cemetery of Peng state has been discovered near Hengbei village (Hengshui town, Jiang County, Shanxi ).
