Gift-giving is one of the things that stand at the center of social relationships across many cultures. “The gift imposes an identity upon the giver as well as the receiver.”1 It is both productive of social relationships and affirms them; it establishes and clarifies social status, displays power, strengthens alliances, and creates debt and obligations. This was particularly true in the chaotic period following the collapse of the Han empire at the turn of the third century, often referred to by the reign title of the last Han emperor as the Jian’an 建安 era (196-220).

  • The Art of Calligraphy in Post-Mao China
    ASIANetwork Exchange | spring 2012 | volume 19 | 2 Negotiating with the Past: The Art of Calligraphy in Post-Mao China Li-hua Ying Abstract: Chinese Calligraphy, an integrated form that combines language, art, phi- losophy, and poetry, was considered the highest art in traditional China. Although no longer used for daily communication, calligraphy manages to sustain its pres- ence in Chinese cultural life even in the computer age. The classical forms that were canonized nearly two millennia ago continue to command a large following while new styles and new practices have emerged in response to social, cultural and artistic influences. This paper looks at present trends in calligraphy and calligraphy- inspired practices against the backdrop of tradition. It is apparent that even within the most radical changes that have taken place, whether in the way calligraphy is practiced or evaluated, there are strong indications that the fundamental aesthetic principles passed down from the past are still very much alive today, showing the resilience of this ancient art. Keywords writing; art; calligraphy; language Chinese calligraphy, an integrated form that combines language, art, philosophy, and Li-hua Ying is an Associate Pro- poetry, was considered the highest art in traditional China, “the most fundamental artistic fessor in the Chinese and Japa- manifestation of the national mind.”1 Although no longer used for daily communication, nese Program at Bard College. calligraphy manages to sustain its presence in Chinese cultural life even in the computer age. The classical forms that were canonized nearly two millennia ago continue to com- mand a large following, while new styles and new practices have emerged in response to social, cultural, and artistic influences.

  • Language Unification, Labor and Ideology*
    * Language Unification, Labor and Ideology Yang You Harvard University Last Updated: March 2018 Abstract By exploring an instance of nationwide language education reform—the Chinese Pinyin Act of 1958-1960—we estimate the effects of language unification using a difference-in-difference approach by interacting a birth cohort exposure dummy with the linguistic distances between local languages and Putonghua—modern standardized Mandarin. This paper presents five main findings: (1) learning Putonghua results in modest short-term negative effects, but long-term positive effects on educational attainment; (2) learning Putonghua increases rural households’ non-agricultural employment; (3) sharing a common language empowers workers to migrate across provinces and language regions; and (4) using a unified language fosters patriotism, a stronger national identity, a more positive subjective evaluation of China, and even more distrust in people of another nationality. One plausible channel is that the common language builds national identity by expanding exposure to audio-based media (e.g., radio, cell phone, and the internet); and (5) the post-reform population shows more skepticism about democracy, a better subjective evaluation of governance, and greater support for government intervention over economic liberalism. These changes in ideology and social preferences are consistent with the political doctrine of the Communist Party of China. Keywords: Language, Education, Labor market, Ideology, Social Preference JEL Code: I25, I26, L82, N45, O15, Z13 * We thank Michael Kremer for outstanding guidance and support.
