  • Confucianism and Sun Yat-Sen's Views on Civilization
    1 Confucianism and Sun Yat-sen’s Views on Civilization Teiichi KAWATA I. Introduction The Qing Dynasty, the last of China’s feudal monarchies, was shaken to its very foundations due to the impact of the West, which was symbolized by the cannon fire of the Opium War in 1840. This is because the 2,000-plus year old system that made Confucianism the state ideology from the time of Emperor Wu in the Earlier Han was easily defeated by England’s military might, which made rapid advances due to the Industrial Revolution in the eighteenth century. Here the history of modern China begins. In the century that followed, in the time that the old system transformed into socialist China, a multitude of intellectual problems sprung forth. Truly, if this period of 100-plus years were put in the terms of Western European intellectual history, themes of intellectual history spanning several centuries were compressed into this period. Namely, starting the Renaissance in the fifteenth century, the Religious Reformation of the sixteenth century, French Enlightenment philosophy of the seventeenth century, as well as the revolutionary thought of the American and French Revolutions in the eighteenth century, and German Idealism, from Hegel to Marx’s Communism, truly various things were adopted, and they sprouted and bloomed. In a sense, that period could be called a golden age of thought. For these thinkers, it was absolutely necessary to engage in the task of how to think about the China in which they lived, and how to change it. They needed to prepare answers to cultural problems such as China’s traditions versus China’s modernization, Chinese civilization versus Western civilization; political problems such as imperialism, constitutionalism, or 2 republicanism and capitalism or socialism.

  • Revolutionary Nativism: Fascism and Culture in China, 1925-1937
    Revolutionary Nativism: Fascism and Culture in China, 1925-1937. By Maggie Clinton. Duke University Press. 2017. xi + 268pp. £20.99. In the past three decades, scholars have taken a keen interest in the study of Chinese modernity. Thanks to the existing studies on twentieth-century Chinese political and cultural history, we can see the complexity of Chinese modernisation and the plurality of Chinese modernity. Revolutionary Nativism, however, takes us to a relatively under-investigated territory, the discursive construction of national salvation from the political right-wing in the 1920s and 30s China. Maggie Clinton’s innovative research brings our attention to the unusual dynamic between cultural conservatism and modernisation. Clinton focuses on the period between 1925 when Dr Sun Yat-sen passed away, and 1937 when the anti-Japanese National United Front between the Nationalist Party (GMD) and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was formally announced. During this period, the GMD Nanjing government embraced fascism and engaged in the unremitting attempt of nation-building through eliminating political rivalries within the party, conducting anti-Communist military and cultural campaigns, and reviving the Chinese Confucian tradition as the ‘national spirit’. Revolutionary Nativism presents a detailed textual analysis of the GMD fascist narrative by examining periodicals associated with the CC Clique and the Blue Shirts, among which Hanxue Zhoukan (Sweat and Blood Weekly) receives the most attention. However, Clinton by no means restricts the investigation to a study of Sanminzhuyi Wenyi (literature and arts of the Three Peoples Principle) or Minzuzhuyi Wenyi (Nationalist Literature and Arts). The discussion is contextualised in a broader political sense, which involves the GMD’s internal political conflicts, ideological confrontations against communism, and the international trend of fascism.

  • Engaging with Socialism in China: the Political Thought and Activities of Chen Gongbo and Tan Pingshan, 1917-1928
    Engaging with Socialism in China: The Political Thought and Activities of Chen Gongbo and Tan Pingshan, 1917-1928 Xuduo Zhao PhD University of York History May 2019 1 Abstract This thesis investigates Chen Gongbo (1892-1946) and Tan Pingshan (1886-1956), two significant Cantonese Marxists who helped found the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 1921. I use Chen and Tan as a lens to re-examine the dissemination of Marxism in May Fourth China and the underlying tensions in 1920s Chinese revolution. My study demonstrates that it was in the changing educational system in the early 20th century that Chen and Tan gradually improved their positions in the cultural field and participated in the intellectual ferment during the May Fourth period. At Peking University they became familiarised with Marxism. Their understanding of Marxism, however, was deeply influenced by European social democracy, as opposed to many other early communist leaders who believed in Bolshevism. This divergence finally led to the open conflict within the CCP between Guangzhou and Shanghai in the summer of 1922, which also embodied the different social identities among early Chinese Marxists. After the quarrel, Chen quit while Tan remained within the party. During the Nationalist Revolution, both Tan and Chen became senior leaders in the Kuomintang, but they had to face yet another identity crisis of whether to be a revolutionary or a politician. Meanwhile, they had to rethink the relationship between socialism and nationalism in their political propositions. This study of Chen and Tan’s political thought and activities in the late 1910s and 1920s offers a different picture of Chinese radicalism and revolution in the early Republican period.

  • The 1911 Revolution and the Korean Independence Movement: the Road to Democratic Republicanism
    The 1911 Revolution and the Korean Independence Movement: The Road to Democratic Republicanism KIM Bong-jin 1. Foreword The Xing Zhonghui 興中会 （Revive China Society） started by Sun Yat-sen（ 1866-1925） and Wang Zhaoming 汪兆銘（ Wang Jingwei, 1883-1944） merged with the Hua Xinghui 華興会 established by Song Jiaoren 宋教仁 （1882-1913） and Huang Xing 黄興（ 1874-1916） on August 20, 1905 in Tokyo to become the Zhongguo Tongmenghui 同盟会 （Chinese Revolutionary Alliance）. Sun Yat-sen was selected to head the organization, and Huang Xing to run general affairs. Various documents were adopted, including the “mili- tary government proclamation,” “general articles of the Tongmenghui,” and “revolutionary strategy.” The Tongmenghui issued as their organizational publication the Minbao 民報, which adopted the general principles advocated by Sun of “expel the Manchus and restore China, establish a republic, and equalize land rights.” Subsequently, they fomented uprisings all over China, but all ended in failure. The Wuchang New Army successfully revolted against the Qing govern- ment on October 10, 1911. Other provinces followed suit by declaring inde- pendence from the central government. On January 1, 1912 the Provisional Government of the Republic of China was established in Nanjing, with Sun Yat-sen as provisional president. On February 12, however, Yuan Shikai （1859-1916） compelled the child emperor Puyi（ 1906-1967） to abdicate. The next day Sun Yat-sen turned in his resignation as president and recommended to the provisional National Assembly that Yuan take the position. On February 15 the provisional National Assembly agreed on Yuan’s appointment and to designate Nanjing as the capital.

  • The Plea for Asia—Tan Yunshan, Pan-Asianism and Sino-Indian Relations
    The Plea for Asia 353 The Plea for Asia—Tan Yunshan, Pan-Asianism and Sino-Indian Relations Brian Tsui In 1927, the Buddhist scholar, Tan Yunshan, travelled to Santiniketan on the invitation of Rabindranath Tagore to teach Chinese at Visva Bharati University. Subsequent years would see him develop close ties with the Guomindang and Congress leaders, secure Chinese state funding for the fi rst sinological institute in India and mediate between the nationalist movements during the Second World War. That a relatively marginal academic, who participated in neither the May Fourth Movement nor any major political party, and who had little prior experience of India, could have played such an important role in twentieth century Sino-Indian relations raises questions over the conditions that made possible Tan’s illustrious career. This article argues that Tan’s success as an institution builder and diplomatic intermediary was attributable to his ideological affi nity with the increasing disillusionment with capitalist modernity in both China and India, the shifting dynamics of the Pan-Asianist movement and the conservative turn of China’s nationalist movement after its split with the communists in 1927. While Nationalist China and the Congress both tapped into the civilizational discourse that was supposed to bind the two societies together, the idealism Tan embodied was unable to withstand the confl ict of priorities between nation- states in the emerging Cold War order. The academic Tan Yunshan (1898–1983) played a pivotal role in Sino-Indian relations before the advent of the Indian nation-state. As an individual, Tan might have preferred that his efforts focused on promoting educational ties between the two countries.

Degree awarded September 2020 ii © 2020 Thomas Evan Fischer iii THESIS ABSTRACT Thomas Evan Fischer Master of Arts Asian Studies Program September 2020 Title: Sun Yat-sens: Contested Images of a Political Icon This thesis explores the afterlives of the Chinese revolutionary icon Sun Yat- sen and their relevant contexts, arguing that these contexts have given rise to different images of the same figure. It serves as a gallery in which these different images are put into conversation with one another, revealing new insights into each. Key to the discussion, Sun is first introduced in a short biography. Then, the thesis moves to his different afterlives: Sun and the fight for his posthumous approval in the Republic of China before 1949; Sun and his usage in Chinese Communist political rhetoric from 1956 through 2016; Sun and his changing image in the ROC-Taiwan, a change that reflects the contentious political environment of an increasingly bentu Taiwan; Sun and two of his images among the overseas Chinese of Hawaii and Penang.

  • China's Forgotten Revolution
    China’s Forgotten Revolution: Radical Conservatism in Action, 1927-1949 Brian Kai Hin Tsui Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2012 Brian Kai Hin Tsui All rights reserved ABSTRACT China’s Forgotten Revolution: Radical Conservatism in Action, 1927-1949 Brian Kai Hin Tsui This dissertation examines Republican China’s state-led revolution under the Guomindang. Since the anti-Communist purge in 1927, the party-state had strived to re- energize mass activism and dissolve proletarian political subjectivity with a rightwing program that stressed interclass and national unity. Under Chiang Kai-shek’s leadership, the Guomindang put an end to the ideological ambiguity of Sun Yat-sen’s national revolution, broke ties the party forged with the Communist International in 1923, and launched an all-round assault on the fledging Chinese Communist Party. Refusing to challenge unequal power relationships domestically and abroad, Guomindang leaders promised to bring China and Asia back to their cultural essence and towards a superior ethical order. Despite its conservative socio-economic agenda, the party retained a radical organizational mode it derived from revolutionary socialism that prized Leninist vanguardism, reliance on mass involvement and cultural transformation. The Chinese nation-state under Guomindang rule experienced a conservative revolution and partook in a global fascist current that swept across Asia, Europe and Latin America during the second quarter of the twentieth century. The distinctiveness of China’s conservative revolution is demonstrated in this dissertation through a multilayered study of its ideological formulations, mass mobilization programs, and ability to garner support from outside the Guomindang domestically and abroad.
