  • The Chinese State in Ming Society
    The Chinese State in Ming Society The Ming dynasty (1368–1644), a period of commercial expansion and cultural innovation, fashioned the relationship between the present-day state and society in China. In this unique collection of reworked and illustrated essays, one of the leading scholars of Chinese history re-examines this relationship and argues that, contrary to previous scholarship, which emphasized the heavy hand of the state, it was radical responses within society to changes in commercial relations and social networks that led to a stable but dynamic “constitution” during the Ming dynasty. This imaginative reconsideration of existing scholarship also includes two essays first published here and a substantial introduction, and will be fascinating reading for scholars and students interested in China’s development. Timothy Book is Principal of St. John’s College, University of British Colombia. Critical Asian Scholarship Edited by Mark Selden, Binghamton and Cornell Universities, USA The series is intended to showcase the most important individual contributions to scholarship in Asian Studies. Each of the volumes presents a leading Asian scholar addressing themes that are central to his or her most significant and lasting contribution to Asian studies. The series is committed to the rich variety of research and writing on Asia, and is not restricted to any particular discipline, theoretical approach or geographical expertise.

  • Study on the Relationship Between Guan Yu and Sun Quan (The Kingdom of Wu)
    2019 International Conference on Cultural Studies, Tourism and Social Sciences (CSTSS 2019) Study on the Relationship between Guan Yu and Sun Quan (The Kingdom of Wu) Xinzhao Tang School of History and Culture, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China Keywords: Guan Yu; Sun Quan and the kingdom of Wu; Jingzhou Abstract: The alliance formation of Sun Quan and Liu Bei makes China's political structure gradually enter the “three kingdoms” era in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. After the battle of Red Cliff, the alliance gradually breaks down. Many scholars pass the buck to Guan Yu. They think that the reason why the alliance of Sun Quan and Liu Bei broke down at last is because Guan Yu was too headstrong and he didn’t pay much attention to better the relationship with Sun Quan. This paper discusses the breakdown of the alliance of Sun Quan and Liu Bei from Guan Yu's point of view. 1. Introduction The formation of the alliance of Sun Quan and Liu Bei is the result of the change of the political pattern since the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The powerful warlords destroyed the weak warlords, and the weak warlords had to form an alliance to fight against the powerful warlords for their survival. As Cao Cao and his army were marching toward the south, Sun Quan and Liu Bei formed an alliance and defeated Cao Cao in the battle of Red Cliff. After that, with the threat of Cao Cao gradually decreasing, the contradiction between the two forces began to become increasingly sharp.

  • How Zhang Juzheng Dominated China, 1572‒82
    Ideas, Determination, Power: How Zhang Juzheng Dominated China, 1572–82 Handwritten pencil manuscript on scrap paper, left unfinished by John W. Dardess. Transcribed by Bruce M. Tindall Edited (lightly) by Sarah Schneewind and Bruce M. Tindall © The Estate of John W. Dardess, 2021 The ms. and notes have been deposited with the library of the University of Kansas. The ms. contains many long paraphrases and quotations, the two not always clearly distinguished. Generally, unless we are sure that the passage is a direct quotation, we have marked it as “in paraphrase.” Researchers wishing to quote should consult the original passages. Numbers in curly brackets { } show where a new page of the handwritten ms. begins, but many complications (backs of pages, interpolated additions, etc.) are not noted. We have reorganized silently where needed, and added section headings. We have silently corrected where it leaves the sense unchanged; other additions, as well as question marks showing that we cannot quite read a word, are in square brackets [ ]. Square brackets also mark words we could not read at all. In the notes, we silently filled in information where certain of the reference. Abstract: Zhang Juzheng (1525-1582) was psychologically the most complex of Ming China’s chief grand secretaries. His rise owed something to an appealing combination of brilliance with diffidence and humility. He was learned, and mastered the literary arts of memorization, comprehension, and interpretation, and the articulation of these things in a clear and creative way in writing. But learning, for Zhang, was never enough. One’s learning, if thoroughly and conscientiously come by, must somehow find its appropriate impact and end in the rectified governance of a realm that after functioning in a faltering way for two centuries had developed some very serious problems.

  • Research on Taoist Daily Clothing in Han and Tang Dynasties
    Asian Social Science; Vol. 16, No. 5; 2020 ISSN 1911-2017 E-ISSN 1911-2025 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Research on Taoist Daily Clothing in Han and Tang Dynasties Rong Yang1 & Xiaoming Yang2 1 College of Humanities, Donghua University, Songjiang, Shanghai, China Correspondence: Xiaoming Yang, College of Humanities, Donghua University, Songjiang, Shanghai, 201620, China. E-mail: [email protected] Received: April 2, 2020 Accepted: April 26, 2020 Online Published: April 30, 2020 doi:10.5539/ass.v16n5p92 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/ass.v16n5p92 Abstract From the perspective of the form of Taoist daily clothing in the early Han Dynasty, Sui and Tang Dynasties was the beginning of the secularization of Taoist clothing. In the Five Dynasties, taking the legal clothing as the prototype, the secular Taoist clothing "Beizi" was derived, which made the Taoist clothing no longer belong to the exclusive use of the ruling class and Taoists, and finally made it secularized. Keywords: Taoism clothing, Taoist daily clothing, Han and Tang dynasties The regular clothes in Taoist clothing are the daily clothing worn by Taoists, and their form is based on the principle of simplicity, which embodies the connotation of "dress shabbily in order to hide one's real worth ". All the literati wear Taoist clothing (Taoists' regular clothes). Therefore, Taoist daily clothing and secular clothing influence each other and become an indispensable part of secular clothing in the future. 1. The End of Han Dynasty The clothing of Taoist groups in early ancient times were not specially customized. The well-known peasant uprising of “TaiPing Dao” in Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Jiao wears a "yellow scarf".

  • 1000CP and Create a Tale That Will Stand the Test of Time
    By Tyr Alexander Version 1.5 Welcome to feudal China. For four hundred years, the Han dynasty has ruled the land. Underneath the Han, China knew an age of peace and prosperity. However, like all things, it must one day end. The court eunuchs have usurped imperial authority, not only deceiving the emperor but promoting corrupt officials and persecuting virtuous ones. The people suffered greatly underneath the eunuch's corruption. But it was Zhang Jiao, a Taoist monk, who hammered in the first nail into the Han's coffin when he formed the Yellow Turban Army. With many dissatisfied peasants flocking to his banner, Zhang Jiao led the Yellow Turbans in revolt against the Han Emperor. Heroes and villains alike took up arms to either quell the chaos or prosper from it. No greater heroes arose during this time than Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan. The leaders of Shu-Han, Cao Wei, and Sun Wu respectively. These three men's destinies were intertwined together. Clashing, unifying and more often conspiring against each other, it was their actions that defined the Three Kingdoms period. While neither of these men nor the legacies they left behind would unite the land, their stories are being retold to this day. You now enter China, for good or ill. Will you join the chaos and prosper as the world around you burns? Will you stand up for righteousness and suppress the chaos, restoring the Han Dynasty to its former glory? Will you usurp the land for your own glory and force all the feudal lords to kowtow to your might? Or will you be a roaming vagabond merely going to and fro without a care in the world? Take this 1000CP And create a tale that will stand the test of time.
