    Chap. 18; and Sy- Mons 1981: 9–10

    CHAPTER I THE MULTIVOCAL PRIMARY RECORD The sheer size of the extant record of the Ming-Qing conflict is historically significant. At some risk, let me begin not only with numbers but with crude ones: the selective bibliography of the best nongovernmental primary and contemporaneous secondary sources of the Ming-Qing conflict, exclusively defined in part two of this monograph (categories I and II), lists 199 Chinese works and collections as main or subsidiary items (leaving aside archival and inscriptional sources) for just the period 1644–1662 (nineteen years). Those were written or compiled by probably 170 different persons, giving 9.7 author-works per year. Let us first compare that with the extant record of the previous instance of long-term, widespread disruption in China, the Yuan-Ming transition, including not only the Ming expulsion of the Mongols but also the Chinese internecine wars that ended in victory for the Ming founder Zhu Yuanzhang 朱元璋, during a considerably longer period, 1355–1388 (thirty-four years). Privileging the Yuan-Ming record with inclusiveness, I still find only 17 nongovernmental works by 15 different authors (or .47 author-works per year).i Of course, the Yuan-Ming transition is three centuries more remote in time than that of Ming-to-Qing, so greater losses to the record are to be expected. On the other hand, writings from that earlier case were not subjected during Ming times to publication restrictions, prohibitions, and other state interferences to nearly the extent that was reached under Qing rule. The contrast is stark even when one considers that the population of China more than doubled from early-Ming to late-Ming and early-Qing times.

    where is king ping? Asia Major (2018) 3d ser. Vol. 31.1: 1-27 chen minzhen and yuri pines Where is King Ping? The History and Historiography of the Zhou Dynasty’s Eastward Relocation abstract: This article introduces new evidence about an important, dramatic event in early Chinese history, namely the fall of the Western Zhou in 771 bc and the subsequent eastward relocation of the dynasty. The recently discovered bamboo manuscript, Xinian 繫年, now in the Tsinghua (Qinghua) University collection, presents a new account of the events, most notably the claim that for nine years (749–741 bc) there was no single king on the Zhou throne. This departs considerably from the tradi- tional story preserved in Records of the Historian (Shiji 史記). Facing this contradic- tion, scholars have opted to reinterpret Xinian so as to make it conform to Shiji. The present authors analyze the Xinian version of events and its reliability; further, we explore the reasons for the disappearance of this version from the subsequent histo- riographic tradition. It is a point of departure that addresses a broad methodological problem: how to deal with ostensible contradictions between unearthed and trans- mitted texts. keywords: Zhou, historiography, manuscripts, Shiji, Sima Qian, Western Zhou, Xinian he fall of the Western Zhou capital in 771 bc and the subsequent T relocation of the Zhou 周 dynastic center eastward, to the vicinity of Luoyang 洛陽, was one of the most dramatic events in early Chi- nese history. It was a point of no return from the period of relative stability under the dominance of the Zhou ruling house to the age of prolonged warfare and aggravating interstate conflicts that lasted for more than five centuries thereafter.

    ABOUT STEVE MARTIN Steve Martin was born in 1945 and raised in Inglewood, California. An imaginative youth, Steve nurtured a love for performing at an early age and became a talented musician and magician in college before turning his focus to comedy. He began writing for The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour while in college, and in 1969 won an Emmy Award for his work on the show. Steve cultivated a small but dedicated fanbase in the 1970s for his stand-up routines, but it wasn’t until his 1976 appearance hosting Saturday Night Live that he became a renown comedian. Following his breakthrough, Steve transitioned from stand-up to acting and cemented a reputation as a blockbuster movie-star with films like The Jerk (1979) and All of Me (1984). To date, he has acted in over 45 films and written 11. STEVE MARTIN 2 1.
