Chapter 10 Nantong Municipal Archives, Dasheng Business Enterprises Collection I¥71Llif Chapter 10 Nantong Municipal Archives, Dasheng Business Enterprises Collection i¥71llif~~tg*!t1t*~~ Introduction The Nantong Municipal Archives (Nantong shi dang'anguan mli tjrijf; ~ij) was established in 1959. It has more than 260 collections, with a total of 100,655 volumes of documents. The archive is particularly noted for its documentary collection on Zhang Jian Y&f:. (1853-1926) and his Dasheng business enterprises. Zhang Jian and His Dasheng Business Enterprises Zhang Jian (zi: Jizhi $1r.; hao: Se' an if~) earned a reputation for his activities in business, education, and politics. Despite receiving the highest honor in the Qing metropolitan civil service examination, Zhang's faith in commerce as a means to national salvation (as signified in the phrase "enterprise to save the nation" shiye jiuguo jf~$>l!l) prompted him to seek a career outside the imperial bureaucracy. In 1895, Zhang returned to Nantong from Beijing hoping to raise capital for a textile factory. Four years later, his Dasheng Textile Mill (Dasheng shachang .:fci.f.O.'Jit) was in full operation. Although most Chinese capitalists struggled during the years before and after the Revolution of 1911, Zhang's mounting profits encouraged him to invest in a second mill in 1913. Although Zhang's goals of political reform and local self-government met with disappointment, his economic success continued. The years during and after World War I were particularly profitable, and he opened two more mills in 1922 and 1923. But Zhang's business interests were not confined to industrial production. In 1901 he formed the Tonghai Reclamation Company (Tonghai kenmu gongsi li~f:t5c0-if.J) to tqmsform the Nanhuai salt-yard region of Jiangsu's coastal Tonghai district into farmland. Between 1914 and 1922, almost half of the 45 companies operating in the Tonghai area either belonged to Zhang's Dasheng consortium or had some kind of relationship with it. Besides commerce, Zhang also viewed education as an essential building block of national development. He founded China's first teacher-training institution, Tongzhou Normal School (Tongzhou shifan xuexiao ll1·1'1 $ipfB~~), in Nantong in 1902 and the country's first modern museum, the Tongzhou Museum (Tongzhou bowuyuan litH rt#./f!1), in 1905. Furthermore, over the years he set up dozens of technical schools and institutes specializing in agriculture, textiles, medicine, and other professions and assisted in establishing over 300 public and private elementary schools in Nantong county alone. In terms of higher education, Zhang played an instrumental role in the founding of China's first teacher's college, Three Rivers Normal School 110 Chapter 10 Nantong Municipal Archives (Sanjiang shifan xuetang .=:.:ti~rp~~~)-the earliest precursor to Nanjing University-and helped finance Zhendan Public School (Zhendan gongxue I: .EL-0-~), also called Fudan Public School (Fudan gongxue it.EL-0-~), which later became Fudan University in Shanghai; Hehai Special School (Hehai zhuanmen xuexiao ~PJ~.$. F~ ~{St), later Nanjing Hehai University (Nanjing hehai daxue it]JjOPJ~*~); Shanghai Wusong Commerce and Shipping School (Shanghai wusong shang chuan xuexiao J:..~~Jt~ ~ $-~{St); and the Suzhou Railroad School (Suzhou tielu xuexiao ** 3+1 ~ft.}~~), among others. The Nantong Municipal Archives holds an estimated 10,000 volumes of Dasheng documents. In addition, the Nantong Library has a small collection of published books and periodicals related to Zhang Jian and his enterprises. Part of the Nantong Library's documentary collection has recently been published in the six-volume Zhang Jian quanji *-l-±1t (Comprehensive collection of Zhang Jian) (Nanjing: Jiangsu guji chubanshe, 1994). Economic History Archives I. Zhang Jian This collection contains correspondence between Zhang Jian and important historical figures such as Sun Yat-sen, Yuan Shikai, Han Guojun ~I i5:J, and high officials of the late Qing. Some of these letters, for example, reveal Zhang's attitudes toward the Sino-Japanese War, Empress Dowager Ci Xi, and the Reform Movement of 1898. The collection also contains information on his Dasheng businesses, a three-volume set of paternal instructions to his son, Zhang Xiaoruo (~ #-*), and collections of Zhang's personal inscriptions, couplets, and notes. In addition, the Nantong Municipal Archives houses published works relating to Zhang Jian's life. These include Zhang Jian riji ~-~- E1 ~E (Zhang Jian's diaries), Zhang Jizhi zhuanji **11. 1* ~E (Biography of Zhang Jizhi), Zhang Jizhi jiulu *$1Ln~ (Nine records on Zhang Jizhi), Se Weng kenmu shoudie ti,T t~ ~15c. -f-ftt. (The Venerable Se' s correspondence on land reclamation and livestock raising), Tongzhou xingban shiye zhi lishi iiJI'IJ!-1Jff~*.±..JJf.R (The industrial history of Tongzhou), and Ershinian lai zhi Nantong ~ +.1f *-.±..it] :ii (Nan tong in the past twenty years). The Nantong Municipal Archives also houses records pertaining to Zhang Jian's activities in agriculture and water conservancy. In fact, the records of the Huainan salt-yard companies are the only extant papers in China documenting the transition from traditional small-scale farming methods to large-scale agricultural production. In terms of water conservancy, in 1911 Zhang funded technical teams to survey the Huai River system. He also served terms as superintendent of the Huai River (dao-Huai duban ~SliftJ.$). Plans, maps, charts, and other papers related to Zhang's Huai River projects are available at the Nantong Municipal Archives and the Nantong Library. 111 .

China's "Corporatization without Privatization" and the Late Nineteenth Century Roots of a Stubborn Path Dependency Nicholas Calcina Howson* ABSTRACT This Article analyzes the contemporary program of "corporatizationwithout privatization"in the People's Republic of China (PRC) directed at China's traditional state-owned enterprises (SOEs) through a consideration of long ago precursor enterprise establishments-starting from the last Chinese imperial dynasty's creation of "government-promoted/- supervised, merchant-financed/-operated" (guandu shangban) firms in the latter part of the nineteenth century. While analysts are tempted to see the PRC corporations with listings on internationalexchanges that dominate the global economy and capital markets as expressions of "convergence," this Article argues that such firms in fact show deeply embedded aspects of path dependency unique to the Chinese context even prior to the fall of the Qing dynasty in 1911.

  • Chinese Local Elites and Institutional Changes: the Local Self-Government in Jiaxing 1905-1914
    Leiden University Asian Studies (Research), Humanities Chinese Local Elites and Institutional Changes: The Local Self-Government in Jiaxing 1905-1914 Master thesis Author: Chen Wenxi Supervisor: Dr. Limin Teh Advisor: Professor Hilde De Weerdt Date: 2017-08-01 [email protected] CHINESE LOCAL ELITES AND INSTITUTIONAL CHANGES: THE LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT IN JIAXING 1905-1914 CHEN WENXI 2 / 92 Abstract This paper proposes a new perspective to understand the local self-government movement during the late Qing New Policies era. On the one hand, this new perspective moves beyond the common practice of interpreting the local self-government movement as failed state efforts to bridle the local elite by enlisting them into bureaucracy, and instead looks at it from the perspective of local society. On the other hand, it emphasizes the relations between local self-government institutions and other contemporaneous professional associations, like the chamber of commerce, education association, agriculture association, and the anti-opium bureau. To facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the local self-government movement, this paper examines the case in Jiaxing from 1905 to 1914. This period witnessed the whole process of the first wave of the local self-government movement from its start and preparation in the last years of the Qing to its abolition by Yuan Shikai in the Republic. A clear understanding of local power structure is indispensable for researching local self-government. Previous scholars generally draw a line between upper-degree elites and lower elites, urban elites and countryside-based elites, suggesting that there were serious conflicts between upper urban elites and lower elites during the local self-government movement.

Abstract: Zhang Jian was one of the most famous entrepreneurs of the first half of the twentieth century. Less well known is that his primary model for the many institutions he built in his home town of Nantong was Japan, a country with which he had a love-hate relationship. He employed many Japanese advisors and teachers to guide in his projects, but always remained wary of Japanese state designs on China. Sino-Japanese Studies http://chinajapan.org/articles/16/3 Zhang Jian’s Nantong Project and the Meiji Japanese Model Wai-ming Ng Chinese University of Hong Kong Meiji Japan provided one of the modernization models for late Qing and early Republican China.1 Nantong 2, a testing ground for modern education and social welfare in early twentieth-century China, was strongly influenced by the Meiji Japanese model. Fusing Western and Chinese elements with their own traditions, the Meiji Japanese created an education and social welfare model of their own. The Meiji Japanese model was characterized by its emphasis on providing fundamental education to children and basic social welfare to the needy as well as promulgating traditional morality. Due to its limited financial commitment and appeal to Eastern ethics, the Meiji Japanese model was regarded as the best option by many Asian leaders and intellectuals at the turn of the twentieth century, popularized by Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese students and visitors to Japan as well as Japanese teachers and advisors to Asia.

  • The Emergence of 'Cultural Heritage' in Modern China: a Historical And
    The emergence of ‘cultural heritage’ in modern China: a historical and legal perspective Guolong Lai University of Florida Introduction In the fall of 1924, the pre-eminent modern Chinese scholar Wang Guowei 王國維 (1877−1927) wrote a long acrimoni- ous letter to Shen Jianshi 沈兼士 (1885–1947) and Ma Heng 馬 衡 (1880–1955), directors of the National Beijing University’s Department of Chinese Classics (guoxuemen 國學門) and its archaeology program. The letter came in response to a ‘Manifesto How to cite this book chapter: Lai, G 2016 The emergence of ‘cultural heritage’ in modern China: a his- torical and legal perspective.

It went on to accuse the abdicated Last Emperor Puyi 溥儀 (1906−1967), who was still living in the back quarter of the Forbidden City, of having ‘taken ancient artefacts (guqiwu 古器物) handed down through the ages as his personal property’, and called on the Chinese people and the Nationalist government to stop the destruction of national heritage.

  • Divisive Elites: State Penetration and Local Autonomy in Mei County, Guangdong Province, 1900S-1930S
    Divisive Elites: State Penetration and Local Autonomy in Mei County, Guangdong Province, 1900s-1930s DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Wenjuan Bi Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Christopher A. Reed, Advisor Patricia Sieber Ying Zhang Copyright by Wenjuan Bi 2015 Abstract This dissertation focuses on the rise of a group of new elites in Mei County, northeastern Guangdong, and their conflict with the local traditional gentry caused by the Chinese state’s new attempt to strengthen and modernize itself from the late Qing to the Republican periods (roughly from the 1900s to the 1930s). From the 1900s, the Chinese state, facing a series of internal and external threats, rather than prioritizing a stable social system, sought to achieve economic growth and national strength as soon as possible. Since the weak government had no ability to plunder external resources to support the expensive reform agendas, the government turned to more aggressive approaches to extract resources from local society. The state’s attempt to strengthen itself by extracting local resources, however, created sharp conflict between the central government and traditional autonomous communities. It also led to the estrangement of the traditional gentry, who, having consolidated their dominance over local society by controlling lineages and militias, were not enthusiastic about collaborating with the state to promote reform. In order to conscript resources to support the state’s reform agendas and to weaken the local gentry’s control of local resources, the late Qing government promoted a new group of elites with commercial backgrounds and Western knowledge who could better serve the state’s goal of mobilization.
