We will focus on the period between the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-95 and the Treaty of Versailles and Chinese May Fourth Movement of 1919, which launched the Communist revolution. The major issues of this period have taken on new significance since the end of the Cold War. They include 1) Chinese responses to and participation in the developing global economy, 2) approaches to political, economic, and cultural reform, 3) problems of national and cultural identity in China and abroad, 4) modern experience and new issues of class, gender, and educational status. Major events include imperial reform movements, the Boxer uprising, the anti-American boycott of 1905, popular resistance movements, the Republican revolution of 1911, the onset of warlordism, and the advent of the New Culture movement after 1915. Brief lectures will supplement reading, but the primary work will be to engage the documents, interpretations, biographies, and other materials in class.

Manchus: A Horse of a Different Color by Hannah Knight Abstract: The question of identity has been one of the biggest questions addressed to humanity. Whether in terms of a country, a group or an individual, the exact definition is almost as difficult to answer as to what constitutes a group. The Manchus, an ethnic group in China, also faced this dilemma. It was an issue that lasted throughout their entire time as rulers of the Qing Dynasty (1644- 1911) and thereafter. Though the guidelines and group characteristics changed throughout that period one aspect remained clear: they did not sinicize with the Chinese Culture. At the beginning of their rule, the Manchus implemented changes that would transform the appearance of China, bringing it closer to the identity that the world recognizes today. In the course of examining three time periods, 1644, 1911, and the 1930’s, this paper looks at the significant events of the period, the changing aspects, and the Manchus and the Qing Imperial Court’s relations with their greater Han Chinese subjects.

  • Similarities and Differences of the 1911 Revolutions in Mongolia and China
    The Mongolian Journal of International Affairs Number 1, 1994 RESEARCH NOTE SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES OF THE 1911 REVOLUTIONS IN MONGOLIA AND CHINA Khereid L.Jamsran As a result of the 1911 revolutions against the Qing dynasty, Mongolia and China became independent and established their own governments. The revolutions in these two countries had some similarities as well as differences which 1 would like to discuss briefly. Similarities 1. Both the Mongols and the Chinese were under Manchu domination for more than two hundred years. The revolutions of 1911 were the result of the anti-Ding movement for national independence in both nations. This meant that these revolutions, both in Mongolia and China, had the single goal of overthrowing the Ding regime and of restoring national indepen- dence with their own governmental systems. 2. The Qing dynasty, from the mid-nineteenth century on, became a semi- colony of imperialist powers, so both revolutions were organized on the same souci-political basis. 3. The 1911 revolutions in Mongolia and China had the common aim of re- storing national independence through armed struggle. 4. The imperialist powers and progressive people supported the anti-Ding movement for national liberation as well as its fighters or revolutionaries in the Ding Empire. 5. After the overthrow of the Qing dynasty, the revolutionaries in Mongolia and China established their own forms of government. Differences 1. China was the center of the Qing dynasty. At that time China began to develop trade and industry which gave rise to a working class and national capitalists However, the feudal Qing regime was an obstacle in the way toward full prosperity of a new society, thus the new classes became politically active and organized illegal revolutionary organizations whose main task was the over- throw of the Qing regime and the establishment of a republican form of govern- ment.

    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Path of Chinese institutional modernization Sahoo, Ganeswar 15 November 2009 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/24825/ MPRA Paper No. 24825, posted 08 Sep 2010 07:32 UTC PATH OF CHINESE INSTITUTIONAL MODERNIZATION GANESWAR SAHOO Master in Development, Innovation & Change INTRODUCTION: The term ‘Modernization’1 is sort of competition for making modern in appearance or behavior. But in more concisely we can describe ‘Modernization’ is sort of modernity in many ways specially economical, social, scientific, technological, industrial, cultural and even more we can say political progress. As we are discussing the institutional modernization that cover all the above modernity, can be rural development , rationalization and even urbanization to add few. In my opinion, ‘Institutional Modernization’ is a process of development and a progress of various degrees of institutions in a society. If we see the progress today that China has developed a treasure of modernity in terms of its World figure both in economic development and its strong military power with countless path of ups and downs in the past. We are more concerned with the historical study of its institutional modernization than a mere philosophical debate over its development and can discuss its various levels of struggle for ‘Substitute Modernity’2 since mid-19th century(the two opium wars) to till date. FIRST MODERNIZATION: China’s Historical Background After the two opium war from 1840-1860, all high ranking mandarins Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Zhang Zhidong and Li Hongzhang during the late Qing Dynasty actively predicated in country’s development what was known as self-strengthening movement.

THE INTERACTION BETWEEN ETHNIC RELATIONS AND STATE POWER: A STRUCTURAL IMPEDIMENT TO THE INDUSTRIALIZATION OF CHINA, 1850-1911 by WEI LI Under the Direction of Toshi Kii ABSTRACT The case of late Qing China is of great importance to theories of economic development. This study examines the question of why China’s industrialization was slow between 1865 and 1895 as compared to contemporary Japan’s. Industrialization is measured on four dimensions: sea transport, railway, communications, and the cotton textile industry. I trace the difference between China’s and Japan’s industrialization to government leadership, which includes three aspects: direct governmental investment, government policies at the macro-level, and specific measures and actions to assist selected companies and industries.

There are several reasons on annotations and biographical writings by contemporaries such as Mfor this. One is that no sooner had Lu Xun breathed his last breath Cao Juren 曹聚仁 , who came to Hong Kong in 1950, began to emerge in than the Chinese Communist Party began to build him into its own narrative Western academia in the 1960s.

  • From Chinese Silver Ingots to the Yuan
    From Chinese Silver Ingots to the Yuan With the ascent of the Qing Dynasty in 1644, China's modern age began. This epoch brought foreign hegemony in a double sense: On the one hand the Qing emperors were not Chinese, but belonged to the Manchu people. On the other hand western colonial powers began to influence politics and trade in the Chinese Empire more and more. The colonial era brought a disruption of the Chinese currency history that had hitherto shown a remarkable continuity. Soon, the Chinese money supply was dominated by foreign coins. This was a big change in a country that had used simple copper coins only for more than two thousand years. 1 von 11 www.sunflower.ch Chinese Empire, Qing Dynasty, Sycee Zhong-ding (Boat Shape), Value 10 Tael, 19th Century Denomination: Sycee 10 Tael Mint Authority: Qing Dynasty Mint: Undefined Year of Issue: 1800 Weight (g): 374 Diameter (mm): 68.0 Material: Silver Owner: Sunflower Foundation A major characteristic of Chinese currency history is the almost complete absence of precious metals. Copper coins dominated monetary circulation for more than 2000 years. Paper money was invented at an early stage - primarily because the coppers were too unpractical for large transactions. The people's confidence in paper money was limited, however. Hence silver became a common standard of value, primarily in the form of ingots. The use of ingots as means of payment dates back 2000 years. However, because silver ingots were smelted now and again, old specimens are very rare. This silver ingot in the shape of a boat – Yuan Bao in Chinese – dates from the Qing dynasty (1644-1911).

I attempt to reveal connections between the colonial past and socialist “present”. I also aim to reveal both the idiosyncrasies of Japanese colonialism vis-à-vis Western colonialism from the perspective of the built environment, and the similarities and connections of urban construction between the colonial and socialist regime, despite antithetically propagandist banners, to unfold the shared value of anti-capitalist pursuit of exploring new visions of and different paths to the modern.

Ironically, the World Heritage listing has contributed to a sudden surge of attention and interventions, and this rapid rate of change is threatening to destroy the things which we have learnt to appreciate.
