  • Social Mobility in China, 1645-2012: a Surname Study Yu (Max) Hao and Gregory Clark, University of California, Davis [email protected], [email protected] 11/6/2012
    Social Mobility in China, 1645-2012: A Surname Study Yu (Max) Hao and Gregory Clark, University of California, Davis [email protected], [email protected] 11/6/2012 The dragon begets dragon, the phoenix begets phoenix, and the son of the rat digs holes in the ground (traditional saying). This paper estimates the rate of intergenerational social mobility in Late Imperial, Republican and Communist China by examining the changing social status of originally elite surnames over time. It finds much lower rates of mobility in all eras than previous studies have suggested, though there is some increase in mobility in the Republican and Communist eras. But even in the Communist era social mobility rates are much lower than are conventionally estimated for China, Scandinavia, the UK or USA. These findings are consistent with the hypotheses of Campbell and Lee (2011) of the importance of kin networks in the intergenerational transmission of status. But we argue more likely it reflects mainly a systematic tendency of standard mobility studies to overestimate rates of social mobility. This paper estimates intergenerational social mobility rates in China across three eras: the Late Imperial Era, 1644-1911, the Republican Era, 1912-49 and the Communist Era, 1949-2012. Was the economic stagnation of the late Qing era associated with low intergenerational mobility rates? Did the short lived Republic achieve greater social mobility after the demise of the centuries long Imperial exam system, and the creation of modern Westernized education? The exam system was abolished in 1905, just before the advent of the Republic. Exam titles brought high status, but taking the traditional exams required huge investment in a form of “human capital” that was unsuitable to modern growth (Yuchtman 2010).

It was validated with the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS). Results show that the proportion who self-reported as Chinese has high agreement with the proportion identified by the surname list in the CCHS. The surname list was applied to the Alberta Health Insurance Plan registry database to define the Chinese ethnic population, and to the Vital Statistics Death Registry to assess the Chinese ethnic population mortality in Alberta.

In one of the versions, a young man discovered three lacquer coffins when digging a tomb for his deceased father and had the coffins reburied elsewhere. That night, he dreamed of Lu Su 魯肅 (172–217), the powerful minister in the southern Kingdom of Wu, who angrily announced that he would exact revenge. He also dreamed of his late father, who told him that Lu Su was fighting with him over the gravesite. Later, the young man found copious blood on his father’s seating mat.1 In the early fourth century, after the fall of the Jin capital Luoyang to the non-Han nomadic peoples, the royal house of the Jin dynasty and the great families of the north crossed the Yangzi River and established the Eastern Jin (317–420), with Jiankang 建 康 (modern Nanjing) as the new capital. In the story cited above, the deceased father, Wang Boyang 王伯陽, was likely a member of the aristocratic Wang clan from Langye (in modern Shandong), since his wife was none other than the niece of the famous min- ister Xi Jian 郗鑒 (269–339) of Gaoping (also in modern Shandong), as these northern aristocratic families maintained a strict code of intermarriage.2 The Langye Wang clan had settled not far from Jiankang, formerly the capital of the Kingdom of Wu.

    The Use of a Matching Preference Index to Empirically Examine Distribution Imbalances in Beijing Citizens’ Names Ziming Zhao School of Systems Science, Beijing Normal University, Beijing, CHINA Xiaomeng Li School of Systems Science, Beijing Normal University, Beijing, CHINA Qinghua Chen School of Systems Science, Beijing Normal University, Beijing, CHINA New England Complex Systems Institute, Cambridge, MA, USA Department of Chemistry, Brandeis University, Waltham, MA, USA Abstract Personal names contain considerable meaningful information about biological and social characteristics of the name-bearer. They also routinely contain important data about cultural preferences in the naming process. Access to this level of information has been limited in the past by a lack of access to large-scale empirical data. As this investigation demonstrates, by utilizing a reliable large-scale sample of Beijing citizens, it is possible to empirically demonstrate onomastic imbalances in the occurrence of Chinese surnames, given names, and full names. In particular, this paper explores the matching imbalance between Chinese surnames and given ans-names.pitt.edu ISSN: 0027-7738 (print) 1756-2279 (web) Vol. 69, Issue 3, Summer 2021 DOI 10.5195/names.2021.2314 Articles in this journal are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

    Part One An Overview of China Chapter 1 The Land and the People 地理条件与人文概况 Section 1 Geography China is located in the eastern part of the Asian continent, on the western Pacific rim, covering 9.6 million square kilometers. China is the third largest country in the world, ranking after Russia and Canada—approximately seventeen times the size of France, 1 million square kilometers smaller than all of Europe, and 600,000 square kilometers smaller than Oceania (Australia, New Zealand, and the islands of the south and central Pacific). China’s additional offshore territory, including territorial waters, special economic areas, 中 and the continental shelf, totals over 3 million square kilometers, bringing China’s overall territory 国 to almost 13 million square kilometers. 文 化 Western China’s Himalayan Mountains are often referred to as the roof of the world. （ 英文 Mount Qomolangma (known to the West as Mount Everest), at over 8,800 meters in height, is the ） roof’s highest peak. China stretches from its westernmost point on the Pamir Plateau to the confluence of the Heilongjiang and Wusuli Rivers, 5,200 kilometers to the east. When inhabitants of eastern China are greeting the dawn, people in western China still face four more hours of darkness. The northernmost point in China is located at the midpoint of the Heilongjiang River, north of Mohe in Heilongjiang Province. The southernmost point is located at Zengmu’ansha in the Nansha Islands, approximately 5,500 kilometers away. When northern 002 China is still gripped in a world of ice and snow, flowers are already blooming in the balmy south.

In addition, Chinese historical texts from the Six Dynasties refer to “merchant barbarians” generally assumed to be Sogdians, who lived in oasis states in Central Asia in present-day Uzbekistan and came to China across the Silk Road.
