  • Case Studies in Large-Scale Archaeological Site Conservation and Management in China: the Liangzhu, Yin Xu, and Han Yangling Sites
    CASE STUDIES IN LARGE-SCALE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT IN CHINA: THE LIANGZHU, YIN XU, AND HAN YANGLING SITES Estudos de caso sobre conservação e gestão de sítios arqueológicos de grande escala na China: Os sítios Liangzhu, Yin Xu e Han Yangling Dongdong Wang * Shin’ichi Nakamura** ABSTRACT Conservation of what are termed large-scale archaeological sites in China has been undertaken since the turn of the twenty-first century due to increasing threats posed by natural disasters and urbanization, as well as the needs to display and utilize these archaeological sites. Changing administrative structures and new approaches to conserving and utilizing large-scale sites are attempting to address these threats and needs. This paper presents a classification of these large-scale sites, as well as three typical cases for a detailed discussion. Using published literature and field surveys, this study addresses two main issues. The first issue is how governmental agencies adjust current organizations and mechanisms in order to satisfy the social, ecological, and economic requirements of a project. The second issue is how governmental agencies identify the responsibilities of different stakeholders in relation to the conservation of archaeological sites within the context of local development.

One was the decision to wait in order to have four Hsiang Lectures in this volume rather than the customary three. The delay and small increase in the number of lectures bring new horizons in research on Chinese poetry to our readers. Indeed, in terms of the time frame covered, this volume focuses mostly, but not exclusively, on the twentieth century. Three of the four lectures are fascinating studies of the manifold significations of classical verse and their continued vitality in the discursive space of Chinese politics and culture in a century of modernization.

  • Marketization of Education and School Choice in Kunming: Parental Usage of Bourdieu’S Three Forms of Capital Under Scrutiny
    LUND UNIVERSITY • CENTRE FOR EAST AND SOUTH-EAST ASIAN STUDIES Marketization of Education and School Choice in Kunming: Parental Usage of Bourdieu’s Three Forms of Capital Under Scrutiny Author: Mengyao Han Supervisor: Annika Pissin Master’s Programme in Asian Studies Spring semester 2014 Abstract Education is a significant topic in China. The practice of what is known as “school choice” at compulsory education level (xiaoshengchu) has attracted attention from all government, media, and academic circle. The purpose of this thesis is to explore practices and perceptions of urban middle-class parents with children who have experienced the academic transition from primary to middle school.The ideology of marketization and Bourdieu’s three forms of capital has been applied in this thesis. By using in-depth interviews and participant observation, this study found that both students and parents are facing tremendous pressure to gain advantages in school-choice competition. To realize this, they have to deal with cultural, social and economic capital to varying degrees. 2 Acknowledgment It has been an exciting experience for an Asian girl to study Asia in Sweden. This thesis marks the outcome of two years’ time of learning and sharing with all of my classmates and teachers in Lund University. This would be one of the most beautiful memories in my life. I would like to thank everyone who made this paper possible. First of all, biggest gratitude to my lovely supervisor Annika who supports my idea and always provides me great advice to finish this thesis. I would also like to thank the supervisors at Peking University and all the participants for my fieldwork in Kunming.

  • Trade Liberalization and the Great Labor Reallocation∗
    Trade Liberalization and the Great Labor Reallocation∗ Yuan Ziy December 27, 2017 Abstract The extent to which a country can benefit from trade openness crucially depends on its ease of reallocating resources. However, we know little about the role of domestic frictions in shaping the effects of trade policy. I address this question by analyzing the impact of tariff reductions on the spatial allocation of labor in China, and how this impact depends on migration frictions that stem from China's household registration system (hukou). I first provide reduced-form evidence that input trade liberalization has induced significant spatial labor reallocation in China, with a stronger effect in regions with less hukou frictions. Then, I construct and estimate a quantitative spatial model with input-output linkages and hukou frictions to examine the general equilibrium effects of tariff reductions and perform counterfactuals. The quantitative exercise shows that trade liberalization increases China's welfare by 0.71%. Abolishing the hukou system leads to a direct welfare improvement of 1.56%, but it also leads to welfare losses to hukou holders from certain regions. Additionally, it increases gains from tariff reductions by 2% and alleviates its distributional consequences. In this process, I develop a novel measure of migration frictions associated with the hukou system. JEL Classification: F11, F13, F16, R23, O15 Keywords: input trade liberalization, spatial labor reallocation, hukou frictions, migration ∗I am extremely grateful to Richard Baldwin, Nicolas

Fuller 9 10 11 12 13 9.1 Introduction 14 15 The emergence of agriculture had a profound effect on environments and human 16 populations. Its transformative effect has been explored in global syntheses from 17 Diamond (1997) to Ellis (2015), and in terms of human macro-history farming clearly 18 played a role in increasing the potential rates of demographic growth and the expansion 19 of human populations, language families and genetic lineages (Bellwood 2004, 2005). 20 The so-called Language-Farming dispersal model suggests that the demographic 21 transition triggered by the emergence of agriculture led to population growth and 22 outward migration of farming populations and accounts for most of the geographical 23 spread of major modern language families (Bellwood and Renfrew 2003; Diamond and 24 Bellwood 2003). In the context of both mainland and island Southeast Asia, most of the 25 distribution of different language families has been attributed to this process, either 26 directly or indirectly. Thus mainland Southeast Asian languages like Austroasiatic can 27 be traced back to the spread of rice farmers southwards out of China (e.g., Higham ________________________ Ling Qin () School of Archaeology and Museology, Peking University Beijing, China e-mail: [email protected] Dorian Q.

  • Representing Talented Women in Eighteenth-Century Chinese Painting: Thirteen Female Disciples Seeking Instruction at the Lake Pavilion
    REPRESENTING TALENTED WOMEN IN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY CHINESE PAINTING: THIRTEEN FEMALE DISCIPLES SEEKING INSTRUCTION AT THE LAKE PAVILION By Copyright 2016 Janet C. Chen Submitted to the graduate degree program in Art History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson Marsha Haufler ________________________________ Amy McNair ________________________________ Sherry Fowler ________________________________ Jungsil Jenny Lee ________________________________ Keith McMahon Date Defended: May 13, 2016 The Dissertation Committee for Janet C. Chen certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: REPRESENTING TALENTED WOMEN IN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY CHINESE PAINTING: THIRTEEN FEMALE DISCIPLES SEEKING INSTRUCTION AT THE LAKE PAVILION ________________________________ Chairperson Marsha Haufler Date approved: May 13, 2016 ii Abstract As the first comprehensive art-historical study of the Qing poet Yuan Mei (1716–97) and the female intellectuals in his circle, this dissertation examines the depictions of these women in an eighteenth-century handscroll, Thirteen Female Disciples Seeking Instructions at the Lake Pavilion, related paintings, and the accompanying inscriptions. Created when an increasing number of women turned to the scholarly arts, in particular painting and poetry, these paintings documented the more receptive attitude of literati toward talented women and their support in the social and artistic lives of female intellectuals. These pictures show the women cultivating themselves through literati activities and poetic meditation in nature or gardens, common tropes in portraits of male scholars. The predominantly male patrons, painters, and colophon authors all took part in the formation of the women’s public identities as poets and artists; the first two determined the visual representations, and the third, through writings, confirmed and elaborated on the designated identities.

Conventional histories interpret this transition as Zhao having betrayed his erstwhile superior Tan, epitomizing the rise of warlordism and the disintegration of traditional civilian administration; this dissertation challenges these claims by showing that Tan and Zhao were not enemies in 1920, and that no such betrayal occurred. These same histories also claim that local governance during this period was fundamentally broken, necessitating the revolutionary party-state of the KMT and CCP to centralize power and restore order. Though this was undeniably a period of political turmoil, with endemic low-level armed conflict, this dissertation juxtaposes unpublished material with two of the more influential histories of the era to show how this narrative has been exaggerated to serve political aims.

  • Communication, Empire, and Authority in the Qing Gazette
    COMMUNICATION, EMPIRE, AND AUTHORITY IN THE QING GAZETTE by Emily Carr Mokros A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland June, 2016 © 2016 Emily Carr Mokros All rights Reserved Abstract This dissertation studies the political and cultural roles of official information and political news in late imperial China. Using a wide-ranging selection of archival, library, and digitized sources from libraries and archives in East Asia, Europe, and the United States, this project investigates the production, regulation, and reading of the Peking Gazette (dibao, jingbao), a distinctive communications channel and news publication of the Qing Empire (1644-1912). Although court gazettes were composed of official documents and communications, the Qing state frequently contracted with commercial copyists and printers in publishing and distributing them. As this dissertation shows, even as the Qing state viewed information control and dissemination as a strategic concern, it also permitted the free circulation of a huge variety of timely political news. Readers including both officials and non-officials used the gazette in order to compare judicial rulings, assess military campaigns, and follow court politics and scandals. As the first full-length study of the Qing gazette, this project shows concretely that the gazette was a powerful factor in late imperial Chinese politics and culture, and analyzes the close relationship between information and imperial practice in the Qing Empire. By arguing that the ubiquitous gazette was the most important link between the Qing state and the densely connected information society of late imperial China, this project overturns assumptions that underestimate the importance of court gazettes and the extent of popular interest in political news in Chinese history.
