Imagining Wu in the Han Aaron Zhao a Thesis Submitted in Partial
Imagining Wu in the Han Aaron Zhao A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Washington 2020 Committee: Patricia Ebrey Ping Wang Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Jackson School of International Studies ©Copyright 2020 Aaron Zhao 1 University of Washington Abstract Imagining Wu in the Han Aaron Zhao Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Patricia Ebrey Department of History This master’s thesis attempts to analyze the perception and understanding of the concept of wu 武 in the Han dynasty by exploring the relevant literary sources. It is divided into four subsections. In the “Institutional Promotions of Wu,” I explain how the Qin-Han legacy of military organization of the society makes wu a superior and desirable value. The order of honor by military merits, superiority of military offices in the governmental systems and even naming of certain offices using military terms reflect such promotion of the wu value. In the “Military Aristocratic Lineages” section, I demonstrate by tracing information scattered throughout various biographical records in the dynastic histories that some aristocratic lineages advanced or maintained their status mainly through military services. The “Martial Individualism” section explores the relationship between the individual and the state via their negotiation and struggle of power in using violence. This section is inspired and influenced by Sanctioned Violence in Early China. But one of the differences is that I note the possibility of a non-violent manifestation of wu. Lastly, the “Wu of Women” section analyzes two examples of women who display qualities of wu in the dynastic histories and 2 their significance. -

The share of the population employed in the secondary industry to the total population increased from 7.4 percent to 30.3 percent from 1952-2012. The share of manufactured production value to total GDP in 2013 reached 43.89%, and the production value share was 19.8% to total global manufacture production value in 2012. -

Profile of MSS-Affiliated PRC Foreign Policy Think Tank CICIR
UNCLASSIFIED//FOUO 25 August 2011 Open Source Center Report Profile of MSS-Affiliated PRC Foreign Policy Think Tank CICIR The China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations (CICIR,中国现代国际关系研究 院) -- one of China's most influential think tanks -- researches the entire range of international affairs spanning all continents, but the institution's major focus is the United States and the Sino-US relationship. CICIR is affiliated with China's top intelligence agency, the Ministry of State Security (MSS,国家安全部), although this fact is rarely acknowledged in PRC media. The official CICIR website1 provides a general description of the functions performed by the research institution, without offering specific details on its affiliation with the MSS or other PRC Government institutions. CICIR's functions as listed on its website include: • Compile research reports on a wide range of topics including global and regional political, economic, diplomatic, military, and social issues, as well as issues related to Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau; • Submit research results to "relevant government departments"; • Publish research findings in academic journals; • Undertake research projects commissioned by the PRC government; • Conduct joint research projects with research institutions at home and abroad on issues of common interest; • Promote academic exchanges with PRC and overseas scholars by hosting and attending bilateral and international symposiums, and by organizing exchange programs and overseas visits; • Offer master's and PhD degree-conferring courses in international relations under the authorization of the State Council Academic Degree Committee. The CICIR website offers little insight into its government-commissioned research projects, except for a brief statement about participation of the Center for Crisis Management Studies in a "national-level policy research project" on China's comprehensive crisis management strategy and foreign governments' mechanisms for handling major emergencies. -
1 the Origins of the Chinese Nation
1 The Origins of the Chinese Nation (Nicolas Tackett): ORIGINAL EXTENDED FOOTNOTES Introduction Note 7: Mullaney, Coming to Terms with the Nation. In fact, as Mullaney points out (pp. 129-130), a small number of citizens in today’s China remain “yet-to-be-classified.” Note 9: Zhu Yu, Pingzhou ketan, 35. The Chinese Biographical Database estimates Zhu Yu was born in the early 1070s; he likely wrote the passage above sometime between 1110 and the Jurchen invasions of the 1120s. For confirmation in an eleventh-century text that people to the south referred to Chinese as “Tang people,” see Jiang Shaoyu, Songchao shishi leiyuan, 77.1009. Note 20: On general education and nationalism, see Gellner, Nations and Nationalism, 29-34; on printing, see B. Anderson, Imagined Communities, esp. 37-46. Although Anderson speaks of “print- capitalism” in sixteenth-century Europe, some historians of capitalism prefer the term “commercial printing.” One can think of the civil service examination curriculum as a form of general education insofar as it came to define the fundamental knowledge that all educated men were expected to have. See Hymes, Statesmen and Gentlemen, 32-33; Bol, “The Sung Examination System,” 154-71. Of course, the core elements of Chinese general education differed from the core elements of traditional Anglo- American general education (i.e., the “three R’s”); in lieu of ‘rithmetic, educated Chinese acquired civic and moral knowledge. On the vitality of profit-driven commercial printing during the Northern Song, see Hymes, “Sung Society and Social Change,” esp. 546-58. Because woodblock printing allowed for print on demand, it is very difficult to determine the total number of printed books in circulation. -
China's Two Li's: Frontrunners in the Race to Succeed Hu Jintao
Li, China Leadership Monitor, No. 22 China’s Two Li’s: Frontrunners in the Race to Succeed Hu Jintao Cheng Li Several rising stars in the new generation of Chinese leaders will likely bound into the political limelight at the upcoming 17th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party. Although Hu Jintao is almost certain to hold the top leadership post in the Party for a second term, the race to succeed him will kick into high gear in the next five years. This article focuses on two frontrunners in the race, 52-year-old Party secretary of Liaoning Province Li Keqiang and 57-year-old Party secretary of Jiangsu Province Li Yuanchao, known collectively as “China’s two Li’s.” This article presents their biographical backgrounds, career paths, patron-client ties with Hu, strengths and weaknesses as contenders for the post of top leader, and their likely policy priorities. Of all the issues surrounding China’s upcoming 17th Party Congress, probably the most intriguing one centers on the selection of a candidate or candidates to succeed Hu Jintao.1 The question on everyone’s mind is: “After Hu, Who?” Other personnel and ideological matters, though also important, may not rate very highly in the news. No analyst seems to have any doubts that Hu Jintao will be easily “reelected” for his second term as the secretary- general of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The all-powerful Standing Committee of the new Politburo will consist largely of leaders in their 60s, most of whom will be holdovers from the current Politburo. -
