The Rise of a Merchant Class and the Emergence of Meritocracy in China
WHY THE SONG DYNASTY? THE RISE OF A MERCHANT CLASS AND THE EMERGENCE OF MERITOCRACY IN CHINA Ting CHEN∗ James Kai-sing KUNGy This version, May 2019 Highly Preliminary, Please Do Not Cite. Abstract In the 10th century of Song China (c. 960-1268 AD) on the heels of a commercial revolution, the merchants appealed for their children to be permitted to take the civil exam|the route to officialdom in imperial China. Using a uniquely constructed data set, we show that the variation in commercial tax in 1077 and in the average number of market towns across the 1,185 Song counties has a significantly positive effect on both the number of jinshi holders and the share of these achievers who came from a non-aristocratic background|the two variables we employ to proxy for meritocracy. To deal with endogeneity, we exploit as a natural identi- fier the boundary sharply dividing those Tang counties that effectively paid taxes and those that did not to bear upon the possibly varying commercialization outcomes. Additionally, we exploit the difference in the tax status of counties as an instrumental variable to identify the effects of commercialization on meritocracy. To cope with the growing demand for exam preparations, the merchants established many academies and printed many books|the two pertinent channels of the commercial revolution. Our empirical analysis sheds light on why a representative government failed to form in Song China despite undergoing a commercial revolution and confronting warfare like Europe did, and why meritocracy emerged so much earlier in China.

The problem of policy learning (or learning optimal treatment regimes) has received considerable attention across several ﬁelds, including statistics, operations research, and economics. In its simplest setting, we observe a sequence of independent and identically p distributed samples (Xi;Ai;Ri), where Xi 2 R is a vector of features, Ai 2 {−1; +1g is a randomly assigned action, and Ri 2 R is a reward. We then seek to learn a good decision rule p d : R ! {−1; +1g that can be used to assign actions in the future. Following the Neyman{ Rubin causal model [Imbens and Rubin, 2015], we assume potential outcomes Ri(−1) and Ri(+1), corresponding to the reward that the i-th subject would have experienced had it been assigned action −1 or +1 respectively, such that Ri = Ri(Ai). We write the conditional average treatment eﬀect as τ(x) = E Ri(+1) − Ri(−1) Xi = x . Given this setting, the expected reward from deploying a decision rule d is V (d) = E [Ri(d(Xi))]; we refer to this quantity as the value of d.

Names of Chinese People in Singapore
101 Lodz Papers in Pragmatics 7.1 (2011): 101-133 DOI: 10.2478/v10016-011-0005-6 Lee Cher Leng Department of Chinese Studies, National University of Singapore ETHNOGRAPHY OF SINGAPORE CHINESE NAMES: RACE, RELIGION, AND REPRESENTATION Abstract Singapore Chinese is part of the Chinese Diaspora.This research shows how Singapore Chinese names reflect the Chinese naming tradition of surnames and generation names, as well as Straits Chinese influence. The names also reflect the beliefs and religion of Singapore Chinese. More significantly, a change of identity and representation is reflected in the names of earlier settlers and Singapore Chinese today. This paper aims to show the general naming traditions of Chinese in Singapore as well as a change in ideology and trends due to globalization. Keywords Singapore, Chinese, names, identity, beliefs, globalization. 1. Introduction When parents choose a name for a child, the name necessarily reflects their thoughts and aspirations with regards to the child. These thoughts and aspirations are shaped by the historical, social, cultural or spiritual setting of the time and place they are living in whether or not they are aware of them. Thus, the study of names is an important window through which one could view how these parents prefer their children to be perceived by society at large, according to the identities, roles, values, hierarchies or expectations constructed within a social space. Goodenough explains this culturally driven context of names and naming practices: Department of Chinese Studies, National University of Singapore The Shaw Foundation Building, Block AS7, Level 5 5 Arts Link, Singapore 117570 e-mail: [email protected] 102 Lee Cher Leng Ethnography of Singapore Chinese Names: Race, Religion, and Representation Different naming and address customs necessarily select different things about the self for communication and consequent emphasis.

Rethinking Chinese Kinship in the Han and the Six Dynasties: a Preliminary Observation

Particularly after the systematization of Maurice Freedman in the 1950s and 1960s, this view, as a stereo- type concerning China, has greatly affected the West’s understanding of the Chinese past. Meanwhile, most Chinese also wear the same PDG- focused glasses, even if the background from which they arrive at this view differs from the West’s. Recently like Patricia B. Ebrey, P. Steven Sangren, and James L. Watson have tried to challenge the prevailing idea from diverse perspectives.2 Some have proven that PDG proper did not appear until the Song era (in other words, about the eleventh century). Although they have confirmed that PDG was a somewhat later institution, the actual underlying view remains the same as before. Ebrey and Watson, for example, indicate: “Many basic kinship prin- ciples and practices continued with only minor changes from the Han through the Ch’ing dynasties.”3 In other words, they assume a certain continuity of paternally linked descent before and after the Song, and insist that the Chinese possessed such a tradition at least from the Han 1 This article will use both “PDG” and “zongzu” rather than try to formalize one term or one English translation.

A Comparison of the Korean and Japanese Approaches to Foreign Family Names
15 A Comparison of the Korean and Japanese Approaches to Foreign Family Names JIN Guanglin* Abstract There are many foreign family names in Korean and Japanese genealogies. This paper is especially focused on the fact that out of approximately 280 Korean family names, roughly half are of foreign origin, and that out of those foreign family names, the majority trace their beginnings to China. In Japan, the Newly Edited Register of Family Names (新撰姓氏錄), published in 815, records that out of 1,182 aristocratic clans in the capital and its surroundings, 326 clans—approximately one-third—originated from China and Korea. Does the prevalence of foreign family names reflect migration from China to Korea, and from China and Korea to Japan? Or is it perhaps a result of Korean Sinophilia (慕華思想) and Japanese admiration for Korean and Chinese cultures? Or could there be an entirely distinct explanation? First I discuss premodern Korean and ancient Japanese foreign family names, and then I examine the formation and characteristics of these family names. Next I analyze how migration from China to Korea, as well as from China and Korea to Japan, occurred in their historical contexts. Through these studies, I derive answers to the above-mentioned questions. Key words: family names (surnames), Chinese-style family names, cultural diffusion and adoption, migration, Sinophilia in traditional Korea and Japan 1 Foreign Family Names in Premodern Korea The precise number of Korean family names varies by record. The Geography Annals of King Sejong (世宗實錄地理志, 1454), the first systematic register of Korean family names, records 265 family names, but the Survey of the Geography of Korea (東國輿地勝覽, 1486) records 277.
