Wong All rights reserved. Professor Michael Szonyi John D. Wong Global Positioning: Houqua and his China Trade Partners in the Nineteenth Century Abstract This study unearths the lost world of early-nineteenth-century Canton. Known today as Guangzhou, this Chinese city witnessed the economic dynamism of global commerce until the demise of the Canton System in 1842. Records of its commercial vitality and global interactions faded only because we have allowed our image of old Canton to be clouded by China’s weakness beginning in the mid-1800s. By reviving this story of economic vibrancy, I restore the historical contingency at the juncture at which global commercial equilibrium unraveled with the collapse of the Canton system, and reshape our understanding of China’s subsequent economic experience. I explore this story of the China trade that helped shape the modern world through the lens of a single prominent merchant house and its leading figure, Wu Bingjian, known to the West by his trading name of Houqua.

  • CAST COINAGE of the MING REBELS John E. Sandrock
    CAST COINAGE OF THE MING REBELS John E. Sandrock Collecting China's ancient coins can be a very worthwhile and rewarding experience. While at first glance this endeavor may appear overwhelming to the average Westerner, it is in reality not difficult once you master a few guidelines and get the hang of it. Essential to a good foundation of knowledge is a clear understanding of the chronology of dynasties, the evolution of the cash coin from ancient to modern times, the Chinese system of dating, the Nien Hao which identifies the coin to emperor and thus to dynasty, and the various forms of writing (calligraphy) used to form the standard characters. Once this basic framework is mastered, almost all Chinese coins fall into one dynastic category or another, facilitating identification and collection. Some do not, however, which brings us to the subject at hand. The coins of the Ming Rebels defy this pattern, as they fall between two dynasties, overlapping both. Thus they do not fit nicely into one category or another and consequently must be treated separately. To put this into historical perspective it is necessary to know that the Ming dynasty lasted from 1368 to the year 1644 and that its successor, the Ch'ing dynasty, existed from 1644 to its overthrow in 1911. Therefore our focus is on the final days of the Ming and beginning of the Ch'ing dynasties. The Ming era was a period of remarkable accomplishment. This was a period when the arts and craftsmanship flourished. Administration and learning soared to new heights.

    Joints of Utility, Crafts of Knowledge: The Material Culture of the Sino-British Furniture Trade during the Long Eighteenth Century Kyoungjin Bae Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Kyoungjin Bae All rights reserved ABSTRACT Joints of Utility, Crafts of Knowledge: The Material Culture of the Sino-British Furniture Trade during the Long Eighteenth Century Kyoungjin Bae This dissertation examines the material culture of the Sino-British furniture trade in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In the beginning of the eighteenth century, the British East India Company (EIC) began importing a large quantity of furniture made in Canton (Guangzhou), China. As the trade between Britain and China became standardized around 1720, this furniture became a part of the private trade carried out by merchants associated with Company. Unlike other objects of the China trade that fed into the vogue of chinoiserie, export furniture crafted with hardwoods from the Indian Ocean was produced in European designs of the time and thus was often indistinguishable from its Western counterparts. What cultural and economic values did export furniture represent in the early modern maritime trade and how did it reify the trans-regional movement of knowledge and taste between China and Britain? Going beyond the conventional perspective on export Chinese objects oriented toward European reception, I connect production with consumption in order to follow the trajectory of export furniture from its origins in the intra-Asian timber trade to its requisition and manufacture in Canton to its reception and use in both Britain and China, highlighting how this process linked the disparate spheres of commerce, knowledge production and distribution, and cultural practices.

Why should we visit what is regarded as the most unprogressive people in the world ? Is there anything about China to interest or instruct us? Shall we find many things that are strange or wonderful? Let us see. China was a nation not less than 5,000 years before the United States was born. She has a language whose alphabet consists of 25,- 000 to 50,000 characters, not less than 3,000 to 5,000 of which a pupil must learn before he can read. A printing press was in operation in China one thou- sand years before John Gutenberg, of Mentz, made per- manent the revival of learning in Europe by his valuable invention. Her libraries contain volumes from three thousand to four thousand years old. There were schools and academies in China two thou- sand years before the Christian Bra. Her people constitute more than one-fourth of the human race, and her territory includes more than 2,700,000,000 acres of ground, or 350,000,000 acres more than the United States, and nearly 200,000,000 acres more than the whole of Europe.

    Opium Production and Consumption in China 643 CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO OPIUM PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION IN CHINA The imported opium led to a whole gamut of reactions in the Chinese societies: war, criminality, addiction, large profits to new experiments in law and healing practices. First, this word ‘societies’ is written on purpose in the plural, because in an immense country like China with its large ethnic, cultural, and political diversity, a fully unknown product like opi- um must have had very different effects. Hosie already reports that ‘Mahommedans, Thibetans and Mongols are not addicted to the habit, and not more than 1 per cent of the former are thought to be opium smok- ers’.1 They are also inhabitants of China and, therefore, Chinese. Aren’t they? The anthropology of the Chinese opium consumer would be a very interesting chapter in our history, but apart from the few data below, there is nearly nothing known at the moment about this subject. Some compensation for this is given in the first two sections below, before the real production and consumption data are analyzed. In previ- ous parts the health and medical aspects of opium use have been dis- cussed. Some brief remarks about the traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine in China are made for reasons of comparison to stimu- late more relevant research: Chinese medicine has become world famous through the acupuncture hype and the herbal basis of its prescriptions. But around 1900, what was its relation to Western thinking about health and its practice? More specifically: was there some relation with opium, let alone heroin and other chemical derivatives from Papaver somni- ferum? A very different aspect of the Chinese reactions to the foreign imported opium is the moral-legal one.
