But I’m still very excited when the dishes and drinks of the city come to mind—the rivers seen from the airplane and the signboards at the highway toll station have all reminded me of crayfish. For people in many provinces, rice is staple food with pepper as a side dish; for people in Hunan, however, the opposite is the case. “When you walk ten steps on a street, you can find a noodles store; when you walk 50 steps ahead, you can find a milk tea house; when you walk 100 steps ahead, you can find a restaurant serving crayfish.” The spirit of modern entertainment has become even more popular Figure 1 Front gate of Yuelu Academy. here.

  • Case Study of Changsha, China
    Planning for Improving High-Tech New Towns’ Attraction to Talents - Case Study of Changsha, China A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Architecture and Planning COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Urban Planning by Lingran Meng [lm3193] May, 2018 Lingran Meng lm3193 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I would like to take this opportunity to express my greatest appreciation towards my thesis advisor, Prof. Kian Tajbakhsh, and my thesis reader, Prof. Katherine Dunham, for their generous guidance and inspiration during my research and thesis jury, providing me with precious advice. This dissertation would not have been completed without their assistance. I would also like to dedicate my gratefulness to my friends and my family for their endless support and encouragement. Their support is important for me to have courage and motivation to finish my thesis. 2 Lingran Meng lm3193 ABSTRACT In 2015, “The Belt and Road Initiative” proposed by the Chinese government contended the target of booming up cities in central and western China and relieving the overpopulation of coastal areas. In this plan, Changsha, a city in the middle part of China is going to play an important role for innovation and high-tech development. Talents are necessary for this step of development. This empirical study used the city of Changsha for case study and identified that apart from the traditional factors like Hukou, job opportunities and salary, talents’ willingness to live and work in Changsha can also be seriously affected by their satisfaction of cultural and recreational activities. Therefore, when crafting policies and plans for the development of second-tier cities in China, local governments and planners could discover and make good use of its own specialties for talent attraction.

The University of Texas at Austin, 2015 Supervisor: Huaiyin Li This work is a modern history of Changsha, the capital city of Hunan province, from the late nineteenth to mid twentieth centuries. The story begins by discussing a battle that occurred in the city during the Taiping Rebellion (1850-1864), a civil war that erupted in China during the mid nineteenth century. The events of this battle, but especially its memorialization in local temples in the years following the rebellion, established a local identity of resistance to Christianity and western imperialism. By the 1890’s this culture of resistance contributed to a series of riots that erupted in south China, related to the distribution of anti-Christian tracts and placards from publishing houses in Changsha. During these years a local gentry named Ye Dehui (1864-1927) emerged as a prominent businessman, grain merchant, and community leader.

I demonstrate that the efforts of officials following an ideology of domination and transformation rooted in the Chinese Classics changed the ways that people associated with each other and defined themselves and how Muslims understood their place in history and in global space.

  • Warlord Era” in Early Republican Chinese History
    Mutiny in Hunan: Writing and Rewriting the “Warlord Era” in Early Republican Chinese History By Jonathan Tang A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Wen-hsin Yeh, Chair Professor Peter Zinoman Professor You-tien Hsing Summer 2019 Mutiny in Hunan: Writing and Rewriting the “Warlord Era” in Early Republican Chinese History Copyright 2019 By Jonathan Tang Abstract Mutiny in Hunan: Writing and Rewriting the “Warlord Era” in Early Republican Chinese History By Jonathan Tang Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Wen-hsin Yeh, Chair This dissertation examines a 1920 mutiny in Pingjiang County, Hunan Province, as a way of challenging the dominant narrative of the early republican period of Chinese history, often called the “Warlord Era.” The mutiny precipitated a change of power from Tan Yankai, a classically trained elite of the pre-imperial era, to Zhao Hengti, who had undergone military training in Japan. Conventional histories interpret this transition as Zhao having betrayed his erstwhile superior Tan, epitomizing the rise of warlordism and the disintegration of traditional civilian administration; this dissertation challenges these claims by showing that Tan and Zhao were not enemies in 1920, and that no such betrayal occurred. These same histories also claim that local governance during this period was fundamentally broken, necessitating the revolutionary party-state of the KMT and CCP to centralize power and restore order. Though this was undeniably a period of political turmoil, with endemic low-level armed conflict, this dissertation juxtaposes unpublished material with two of the more influential histories of the era to show how this narrative has been exaggerated to serve political aims.

  • Qin Criminal Case Records of the Collection Wei Yu Deng Zhuang
    QIN CRIMINAL CASE RECORDS OF THE COLLECTION WEI YU DENG ZHUANG ULRICH LAU Our understanding of early Chinese jurisdiction has been greatly improved by the discov- ery of two Chinese collections of criminal case records from the late 3rd and early 2nd century BC during the last decades. These legal manuscripts belong to a type of sources previously unknown in the received literature of this time. The first collection from the beginning of the Han 漢 dynasty titled Zou yan shu 奏讞書 was excavated from Zhang- jiashan 張家山 tomb no. 247 near Jingzhou 荊州, Hubei 湖北 Province, around the end of the year 1983. The edition of this collection was not published for almost 20 years1 and immediately attracted considerable attention within the scientific community. The sec- ond compilation of criminal cases from Qin 秦 called Wei yu deng zhuang si zhong 爲獄 等狀四種 (hereafter abbreviated as Wei yu deng zhuang) by the editors was discovered among the manuscripts which were purchased in 2007 on the antique market in Hongkong by the Yuelu Academy 嶽麓書院 Changsha 長沙.2 The Wei yu deng zhuang contains several criminal cases which are written on about 250 bamboo and wooden slips. Twelve case records are more or less complete, while a further three have been preserved only fragmentarily. The cases can be partly dated to the last years of the pre-imperial peri- od of Qin, to the reign of King Zheng 政 (from 246 to 222 BC). The investigation of the slips shows that the Wei yu deng zhuang originally consisted of four separate manuscript rolls (juan 卷) that differed in terms of material (bamboo as opposed to wood), the length __________________________ * The present paper is the result of the research project “The Legal Manuscripts of the Qin (3rd century BC) held in the Collection of the Yuelu Academy,” funded by the DFG (German Re- search Foundation).

In the Government's Service: A Study of the Role and Practice of Early China's Officials Based on caEx vated Manuscripts Abstract The aim of this dissertation is to examine the practices of local officials serving in the Chu and Qin centralized governments during the late Warring States period, with particular interest in relevant excavated texts. The recent discoveries of Warring States slips have provided scholars with new information about how local offices operated and functioned as a crucial organ of the centralized state. Among the many excavated texts, I mainly focus on those found in Baoshan, Shuihudi, Fangmatan, Liye, and the one held by the Yuelu Academy. Much attention is given to the function of districts and their officials in the Chu and Qin vgo ernments as they supervised and operated as a base unit: deciding judicial matters, managing governmental materials and products, and controlling the population, who were the source of military and labor service.
