  • 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.

  • Sex and State Making in Revolutionary Cuba, 1959-1968
    SEX AND STATE MAKING IN REVOLUTIONARY CUBA, 1959-1968 Rachel M. Hynson A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2014 Approved By: Kathryn J. Burns Emily Susan Burrill John Charles Chasteen Miguel La Serna Raúl Necochea López Lars Schoultz ©2014 Rachel M. Hynson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT RACHEL M. HYNSON: Sex and State Making in Revolutionary Cuba, 1959-1968 (Under the direction of Kathryn J. Burns) This dissertation explores the construction of the revolutionary state in order to trace the entwinement of familial health and national security during the first decade of the Cuban revolution. It analyzes campaigns deployed by government officials to remake sexual norms and produce families deemed healthier than those under capitalism. More specifically, my dissertation examines state efforts that normalized patriarchy by criminalizing abortion, legitimized marriage through collective weddings, schematized the workforce by condemning female prostitution, and restructured economic gender roles via the rehabilitation of chulos (loosely translated as “kept men”). Through close analysis of print media, speeches, travel narratives, and oral histories, my work makes two major contributions to the study of Cuban sexuality. First, by joining prerevolutionary context to an analysis of revolutionary policies, I demonstrate that the sexual behaviors lauded by state officials as new measures of revolutionary well-being were in fact traditional criteria recycled from prior Cuban regimes. Second, I assert that revolutionary leadership of the 1960s attempted to remake the state by challenging popular definitions of terms such as marriage, family planning, sex worker, and chulo.

  • Porcelain Color Guide and Application Principles
    Porcelain Color Guide and Application Principles By Wanqi Chai Bachelor of Arts in Art Design Tongji University Shanghai, China 2009 Submitted to Mike Zender of the College of Design, Art, Architecture and Planning of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Mater of Design May, 2012 ABSTRACT We know there is many color guides and color schemes for designers use, just like the swatch libraries in Adobe Illustrator. It has thousands of color combinations for designers easily to choose a color to achieve their design purpose. My thesis is focusing on making a special Chinese color guide and a series of Chinese color combinations, which are close to Chinese people’s aesthetic. My color guide could help designers easily decide which color they would like use while they are designing for Asian audience. My hypothesis is the colors found in Chinese porcelain art suggest color palettes that will appeal to Asian's visual aesthetic. Porcelain culture has existed for thousands of year in Asia. Those colors not only represent the technical conditions of their time, they also deeply reveals the social and culture background, aesthetic psychology of the times. Until today, porcelain colors deeply affected East Asian aesthetic trends. On the other hand, sociological and cultural chromatics is becoming more and more important today. The mental imagery of color reveals the perception, emotion, idea, and motivation of human beings. The purpose of my thesis is to refine key colors from porcelains; find out and build up its own application principles for designer’s use, and prove my hypothesis that porcelain color could satisfy Asian people’s taste.

  • Center for ~Esearch on Social Organization the Working Paper
    u Center for ~esearchon Social Organization The Working Paper Series The University of Michigan Ann Arbor CHANGES IN IMATE CHOICE IN CHENGDU by Mart in King Whyte #36 1 September 1988 CHANGES IN MATE CHOICE IN CHENGDU Martin King Whyte University of Michigan The family is the basic unit of social organization in any society, and in Chinese culture the centrality of family organization has been explicitly acknowledged for centuries. Efforts to change society must deal with the family as an institution, and since the process of mate choice is a central defining element of family organization, changes in the nature of the mate choice process will be an important aspect of such change efforts. In this paper I wish to consider how the nature of the mate choice process has changed over time in urban China. I am concerned here with both long term and short term changes. In the long term I want to examine how much the process of mate choice has changed in general since 1949 in the PRC. From a short term perspective I am interested in how much this process has been changed in the post-Mao or reform period. In discussing changes in the process of mate choice in urban China I will rely primarily on data from a survey of mate choice and marriage relations in Chengdu on which I have been collaborating over the last several years.
