It is my pleasure to be able to acknowledge my indebtedness to them. During the early phase of my research, Father Alex Coenen assisted my work in obtaining valuable mission sources in Franciscan archive center at Sint-Truiden of Belgium. Father Antonio Eguiguren of Ferdinand Verbiest Institute in Catholic University of Leuven offered me much help during my fieldtrip to Leuven. He not only introduced more archives to me, but also put me in touch with other scholars in Leuven. During my fieldtrip to China, Father Li Xiaoguo of Enshi Catholic church not only helped me to collect precious archive sources, but also accompanied me to visit churches and places where anti-Christian incidents took place. In the translation of French, Italian and Latin documents, I owe thanks to Duffie D Anglemont de Tassigny Pierre Yves. I owe a particular debt of gratitude to my supervisor Thomas David Dubois of National University of Singapore. He has given me much support during my master study, both emotionally and academically. Whenever I have questions, I only need to knock the door of his office, and he would listen to me and give me suggestions that I need. He helped me to identify potential problems of my thesis and guided me to polish its structure. I feel lucky to have such a responsible and amicable supervisor. The unconditional love given by my family is the greatest emotional support to me. I especially want to thank my mom Xiang Changju and my cousin Tan Changzou for their care and support. I also want to thank my friends for always standing by my side. Professors and graduate students in history department of National University of Singapore not only gave me much inspiration and suggestions on my research, but also showed academic integrity and high standard of research ethics, which will affect me for all my life. Finally my gratitude goes to National University of Singapore for its generous financial support and the education it offered to me.

Previous scholars have explained the causes of the movement from the perspective of cultural conflict, Western imperialism, China‘s anti-foreign tradition, and so on. However, these explanations are not equally applicable to different regions of China during the anti-Christian movement. This thesis tries to provide a new perspective of the causes of the anti-Christian movement by studying the relationship between Belgium Franciscan missionaries and the secret society Gelaohui in Enshi in the late nineteenth century. This thesis argues that Franciscan missionaries in Enshi were quite experienced at dealing with the local society in the nineteenth century. They generally had peaceful working relationships with different groups of people in the local society such as Chinese officials, Chinese Christians and non- Christians. However, the secret society Gelaohui frequently had trouble with Franciscan missionaries. They not only confronted those missionaries indirectly, but also directly organized the anti-Christian movement that took place in Enshi and the entire Yangtze River Valley. iv LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS TABLE 1.

After The Opium War many missionaries from different countries started coming to China with enthusiasm for Christ. The number of Chinese converts also started to increase, although not as rapidly as what missionaries had expected. In the mission history of China, the anti-Christian movement was the most influential event in the nineteenth century. The decade from 1890 to 1900 was important as it saw the movement reach its zenith. Organized and unorganized harassment and persecution toward foreign missionaries and Chinese converts was widespread in China. Many Western missionaries and Chinese converts became victims of this movement. Since then, numerous researches on the motives behind this movement have been carried out. Through the analysis of the motives behind China‘s anti-Christian movement, the missionaries‘ role in Chinese society also becomes clear from various perspectives. There have been several explanations among scholars about the motives behind this anti- Christian movement. Some Western scholars have ascribed this movement to missionaries‘ imperialistic behavior. Joseph W. Esherick claimed that although there was growing conflict between missionaries and Western mercantilistic enterprises in the late nineteenth century China, trade and Christianity

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

This will be my fourth and final PMUNC. My name is Nicholas Wu, and I’m a senior in the Woodrow Wilson School, pursuing certificates in American Studies and East Asian Studies. It’s my honor to chair this year’s crisis committee on the Taiping Rebellion. It’s a conflict that fascinates me. The Taiping Rebellion was the largest civil war in human history, but it barely receives any attention in your standard world history class. Which is a shame — it’s a multilayered conflict. There are ethnic, economic, and religious issues at play, as well as significant foreign involvement. I hope that you all find it as interesting as I do. On campus, I’m currently figuring out how to write my thesis, and I’m pretty sure that I’m going to be researching the implementation of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). I’m also involved with the International Relations Council, the Daily Princetonian, the Asian American Students Association, and Princeton Advocates for Justice. I also enjoy cooking. Best of luck at the conference! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. You can email me anytime at [email protected].

  • William T. Rowe
    Bao Shichen: An Early Nineteenth-Century Chinese Agrarian Reformer William T. Rowe Johns Hopkins University Prefatory note to the Agrarian Studies Program: I was greatly flattered to receive an invitation from Jim Scott to present to this exalted group, and could not refuse. I’m also a bit embarrassed, however, because I’m not working on anything these days that falls significantly within your arena of interest. I am studying in general a reformist scholar of the early nineteenth century, named Bao Shichen. The contexts in which I have tended to view him (and around which I organized panels for the Association for Asian Studies Annual Meetings in 2007 and 2009) have been (1) the broader reformist currents of his era, spawned by a deepening sense of dynastic crisis after ca. 1800, and (2) an enduring Qing political “counter discourse” beginning in the mid-seventeenth century and continuing down to, and likely through, the Republican Revolution of 1911. Neither of these rubrics are directly concerned with “agrarian studies.” Bao did, however, have quite a bit to say in passing about agriculture, village life, and especially local rural governance. In this paper I have tried to draw together some of this material, but I fear it is as yet none too neat. In my defense, I would add that previously in my career I have done a fair amount of work on what legitimately is agrarian history, and indeed have taught courses on that subject (students are less interested in such offerings now than they used to be, in my observation).

  • Did the Imperially Commissioned Manchu Rites for Sacrifices to The
    religions Article Did the Imperially Commissioned Manchu Rites for Sacrifices to the Spirits and to Heaven Standardize Manchu Shamanism? Xiaoli Jiang Department of History and Culture, Jilin Normal University, Siping 136000, China; [email protected] Received: 26 October 2018; Accepted: 4 December 2018; Published: 5 December 2018 Abstract: The Imperially Commissioned Manchu Rites for Sacrifices to the Spirits and to Heaven (Manzhou jishen jitian dianli), the only canon on shamanism compiled under the auspices of the Qing dynasty, has attracted considerable attention from a number of scholars. One view that is held by a vast majority of these scholars is that the promulgation of the Manchu Rites by the Qing court helped standardize shamanic rituals, which resulted in a decline of wild ritual practiced then and brought about a similarity of domestic rituals. However, an in-depth analysis of the textual context of the Manchu Rites, as well as a close inspection of its various editions reveal that the Qing court had no intention to formalize shamanism and did not enforce the Manchu Rites nationwide. In fact, the decline of the Manchu wild ritual can be traced to the preconquest period, while the domestic ritual had been formed before the Manchu Rites was prepared and were not unified even at the end of the Qing dynasty. With regard to the ritual differences among the various Manchu clans, the Qing rulers took a more benign view and it was unnecessary to standardize them. The incorporation of the Chinese version of the Manchu Rites into Siku quanshu demonstrates the Qing court’s struggles to promote its cultural status and legitimize its rule of China.

  • CMS in China Should Be Dated Back to 1801 During the Treaty of Nanjiang (Formerly Known As Nanking)
    MISSION IN CHINA A History of the Church Mission Society by P. K. Tang A Review of CMS History in China (1810-1942) : Its Success and Failure The earliest record of CMS in China should be dated back to 1801 during the Treaty of Nanjiang (formerly known as Nanking). Under the Treaty, China had to open its ports of Shanghai, Ningbo (formerly Ningpo), Guangzhou (formerly Canton), Amoy and Hong Kong on the eastern coast for trade. This gave opportunity for Mission to China. Eventually, Church Missionary Society (CMS) along with many other mission bodies started to build their churches and hospitals in 1844. Bishop George Smith and T.M. McClatchie were the first CMS missionaries sent to China, based in Shanghai in 1844.1 Over the years, CMS had been mainly focused on the mission of health and education, both the needy part of China at that time. The first education project was started in Ningpo in 1847, followed by a medical project in Fujian (formerly Fukien) in 1849. It was a sort of pioneer project for CMS during that time as CMS used to send the clergymen for ministerial mission instead of sending 'laity' for mission. Mission in China in some ways 'altered' CMS’s traditional mission policy. The first five Chinese converts of the CMS China Mission were baptised in 1851 -- two in Ningbo and three in Shanghai. For a long time the Chinese church was under the supervision of missionaries, with all the ordination proposed from the Church of England until the 1920s when they started to consider handing over the church leadership to Chinese.
