  • CGEH Working Paper Series Urbanization in China, Ca. 1100
    CGEH Working Paper Series Urbanization in China, ca. 1100–1900 Yi Xu, Guangxi Normal University and Utrecht University Bas van Leeuwen, Utrecht University and IISH Jan Luiten van Zanden, Utrecht University January 2015 Working paper no. 63 www.cgeh.nl/working-paper-series/ Urbanization in China, ca. 1100–1900 Yi Xu, Guangxi Normal University and Utrecht University Bas van Leeuwen, Utrecht University and IISH Jan Luiten van Zanden, Utrecht University Abstract: This paper presents new estimates of the development of the urban population and the urbanization ratio for the period spanning the Song and late Qing dynasties. Urbanization is viewed, as in much of the economic historical literature on the topic, as an indirect indicator of economic development and structural change. The development of the urban system can therefore tell us a lot about long-term trends in the Chinese economy between 1100 and 1900. During the Song the level of urbanization was high, also by international standards – the capital cities of the Song were probably the largest cities in the world. This remained so until the late Ming, but during the Qing there was a downward trend in the level of urbanization from 11–12% to 7% in the late 18th century, a level at which it remained until the early 1900s. In our paper we analyse the role that socio–political and economic causes played in this decline, such as the changing character of the Chinese state, the limited impact of overseas trade on the urban system, and the apparent absence of the dynamic economic effects that were characteristic for the European urban system.

  • A Geographic History of Song-Dynasty Chan Buddhism: the Decline of the Yunmen Lineage
    decline of the yunmen lineage Asia Major (2019) 3d ser. Vol. 32.1: 113-60 jason protass A Geographic History of Song-Dynasty Chan Buddhism: The Decline of the Yunmen Lineage abstract: For a century during China’s Northern Song era, the Yunmen Chan lineage, one of several such regional networks, rose to dominance in the east and north and then abruptly disappeared. Whereas others suggested the decline was caused by a doctri- nal problem, this essay argues that the geopolitics of the Song–Jin wars were the pri- mary cause. The argument builds upon a dataset of Chan abbots gleaned from Flame Records. A chronological series of maps shows that Chan lineages were regionally based. Moreover, Song-era writers knew of regional differences among Chan lin- eages and suggested that regionalism was part of Chan identity: this corroborates my assertion. The essay turns to local gazetteers and early-Southern Song texts that re- cord the impacts of the Song–Jin wars on monasteries in regions associated with the Yunmen lineage. Finally, I consider reasons why the few Yunmen monks who sur- vived into the Southern Song did not reconstitute their lineage, and discuss a small group of Yunmen monks who endured in north China under Jin and Yuan control. keywords: Chan, Buddhism, geographic history, mapping, spatial data n 1101, the recently installed emperor Huizong 徽宗 (r. 1100–1126) I authored a preface for a new collection of Chan 禪 religious biogra- phies, Record of the Continuation of the Flame of the Jianzhong Jingguo Era (Jianzhong Jingguo xudeng lu 建中靖國續燈錄, hereafter Continuation of the Flame).1 The emperor praised the old “five [Chan] lineages, each ex- celling in a family style 五宗各擅家風,” a semimythical system promul- gated by the Chan tradition itself to assert a shared identity among the ramifying branches of master-disciple relationships.

  • The Manufacturing and Drinking Arts in the Song Dynasty. the Manufacturing and Drinking Arts in the Song Dynasty
    The manufacturing and drinking arts in the Song dynasty. Shen Dongmei The Institute of History, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences 5 Jiannei Road, Beijin 100732, P.R. of China Summary Crumby-cake tea was the main form of tea production in the Song period, and it was steamed green tea. It had mainly six working procedures: plucking, picking, steaming, grinding, compressing, and baking. The various particular standards in each procedure formed the character of tea in the Song period, which was obviously different from tea in the Tang period. Corresponding to the shape of dust tea, the leading style of tea drinking in the Song period was called pointing tea, which had five steps, such as compressed tea grinding, sieving tea, optimizing the tea brewing, warming cup by fife, and pointing tea. Each of the five steps requires special utensils. It is only all the steps did its best can the tea infusion be fme. Fencha (tea game) and Doucha (tea competition) was the artistic, emulative form of pointing tea, all of which correlated to the leisurely and elegant lives of literati in Song China. In the course of tea culture history, pointing tea, the drinking art of the Song period, formed a connecting link between boiling tea of the Tang period and brewing tea of the Ming and Qing periods. Pointing tea 'was spread to Japan and other countries and areas from China in the Song period, making its particular contribution to the tea culture of the world. Keywords dust tea, manufacturing, drinking arts, the Song dynasty Under the joint affection of the change of tea manufacturing style and social spiritual value orientation, compared with the Tang dynasty, the tea art of the Song dynasty had made fairly development on some procedure of tea manufacturing, style of tea shape, art of pointing tea, tea utensils, the standard of appreciation etc., far more delicate than the later, which made the Song dynasty the special historic period with distinct style in Chinese tea culture history.

Criteria (ii), (iii) and (iv):The imperial mausolea are outstanding testimony to a cultural and architectural tradition that for over five hundred years dominated this part of the world; by reason of their integration into the natural environment, they make up a unique ensemble of cultural landscapes. Criterion (vi):The Ming and Qing Tombs are dazzling illustrations of the beliefs, world view, and geomantic theories of Fengshui prevalent in feudal China.
