    Gushan: the Formation of a Chan Lineage During the Seventeenth Century and Its Spread to Taiwan Hsuan-Li Wang Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Hsuan-Li Wang All rights reserved ABSTRACT Gushan: the Formation of a Chan Lineage During the Seventeenth Century and Its Spread to Taiwan Hsuan-Li Wang Taking Gushan 鼓山 Monastery in Fujian Province as a reference point, this dissertation investigates the formation of the Gushan Chan lineage in Fujian area and its later diffusion process to Taiwan. From the perspective of religion diffusion studies, this dissertation investigates the three stages of this process: 1. the displacement of Caodong 曹洞 Chan center to Fujian in the seventeenth century; 2. Chinese migration bringing Buddhism to Taiwan in the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) and 3. the expansion diffusion activities of the institutions and masters affiliated with this lineage in Taiwan during the Japanese rule (1895-1945), and the new developments of humanistic Buddhism (renjian fojiao 人間佛教) after 1949. In this spreading process of the Gushan Chan lineage, Taiwanese Buddhism has emerged as the bridge between Chinese and Japanese Buddhism because of its unique historical experiences. It is in the expansion diffusion activities of the Gushan Chan lineage in Taiwan that Taiwanese Buddhism has gradually attained autonomy during the Japanese rule, leading to post-war new developments in contemporary humanistic Buddhism.

  • Women As Insurance Assets in Traditional Societies: a Study Of
    Women as Insurance Assets in Traditional Societies: * A study of brideprices during 18th-19th century China Zhiwu Chen, Yale University Shijun He, Tsinghua University Zhan Lin, Renmin University Kaixiang Peng, Henan University 2014.11.25. Abstract Before modern financial markets emerged, agrarian societies relied on non-financial means to mitigate risks. Women became an apparatus of insurance—they were traded for other resources when the survival of a family was under threat. This happened on different continents in places with little or no connections with each other. To examine how women were used in traditional societies as an insurance tool, this paper collected data on marriage- and adultery-related homicide cases from the Qing dynasty’s Criminal Case Repots Archives. Of the 73,216 criminal reports from between 1736 and 1896 we identified 3,119 cases that contain price information on wife or concubine sale, widow remarriage, regular marriage, and bride-price. This dataset is then used to investigate if bride-prices would decrease significantly during times when human survival was under pressure or threat. In our analysis, grain price is employed as a proxy for the presence of survival risks: higher grain price signals a shortage of food supply and its severity. For example, a major crop failure due to drought or other natural disasters usually leads to extremely high grain price and challenges the survival of human beings, which pressures more husbands to sell their wives or daughters for liquidity. In turn, this may result in high supply of women on the market, causing supply-demand imbalance. The price of woman traded as wife or concubine, or “bride-price” (a term as used hereafter), will likely fall as a result.

  • From Tin to Pewter: Craft and Statecraft in China, 1700-1844
    From Tin to Pewter: Craft and Statecraft in China, 1700-1844 Yijun Wang Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Yijun Wang All rights reserved ABSTRACT From Tin to Pewter: Craft and Statecraft in China, 1700 to 1844 Yijun Wang This dissertation examines the transmissions of technology and changes in the culture of statecraft by tracing the itinerary of tin from ore in mines to everyday objects. From the eighteenth century, with the expansion of the Qing empire and global trade, miners migrated from the east coast of China to the southwest frontiers of the Qing empire (1644-1912) and into Southeast Asia, bringing their mining technology with them. The tin from Southeast Asia, in return, inspired Chinese pewter artisans to invent new styles and techniques of metalworking. Furthermore, the knowledge of mining, metalworking, and trade was transferred from miners, artisans, and merchants into the knowledge system of scholar-officials, gradually changing the culture of statecraft in the Qing dynasty. This dissertation explores how imperial expansion and the intensive material exchange brought by global trade affected knowledge production and transmission, gradually changing the culture of statecraft in China. In the Qing dynasty, people used tin, the component of two common alloys, pewter and bronze, to produce objects of daily use as well as copper coins. Thus, tin was not only important to people’s everyday lives, but also to the policy-making of the Qing state. In this way, tin offers an exceptional opportunity to investigate artisans and intellectuals’ approach to technology, while it also provides a vantage point from which to examine how Qing bureaucrats managed the world, a world of human and non-human resources.

Guarding Beijing's Food Security in the Qing Dynasty: State, Market, and Police LILLIAN M. LI and ALISON DRAY-NOVEY AN ESSENTIAL FEATURE OF BEIJING'S long history as China's imperial capital was the ability to feed its population despite a geographical location distinctly unfavorable to agriculture. For all ancient and modern states, provisioning the capital is not only a matter of pride and prestige but a question of survival. The failure to feed civil officials, military supporters, and the urban population that serves them is a visible sign of a government's inadequacy and easily leads to political unrest. For these Lillian M. Li is Professor of History at Swarthmore College. Alison Dray-Novey is Professor of History at the College of Notre Dame of Maryland.

The fact that much of the collection had been transported to Shanghai, where Huang was resident, and that he was not from Beiping, 1 The contract document is dated 1935. According to Wang Zhongxiu the contract date was 11 December 1935. See Wang Zhongxiu, “Huang Binhong shi kao zhi shi, shang,” Rongbaozhai gujin yishu bolan 5 (2002), p.236.
