The Destruction of Immoral Temples in Qing China* Vincent Goossaert China, like other pre-modern East Asian countries, was characterized by a pluralistic reli- gious system. Although the Qing Imperial state (1644–1911) recognized this system by granting freedom of practice to a wide range of distinct religious traditions, it was not, for all that matter, tolerant. What was not included within the corpus of officially recognized practices was the object of repression in its various forms. This repression generally remained only a threat, but in some cases the threat was carried out and the reasons and ways in which it was carried out were generally complex and numerous. This article proposes to examine repressive acts as not being necessarily self-evident, as a way of understanding the logic and workings of a state apparatus in its dealings with the religious domain, a particularly difficult area to control.

  • SASA Summer 2009 Newsletter
    Issue No. 59 Summer 2009 The Fifth Annual Alumni Lecture at SAS Betty Barr April 11-14, 2009, were memorable days for SASA and SAS. On the evening of Saturday, April 11, SAS held its First Annual Gala on the grounds of the YongFoo Elite, at one time the British Consulate, in the former French Con- cession. It was billed as An Evening for the Endowment and will be described more fully in this newsletter by Teddy Heinrichsohn, SASA’s President. That afternoon, however, there had been another significant event: a first informal meeting between alumni of the ‘40s and ‘50s and those of more recent years. Huang Chia Lun, 2000, the organizer, will say more about that. On Sunday, April 12, a group of ten set out in two vans for Jinze, a small town in Qingpu District, about an hour’s drive away from the city, where Deke Erh, has estab- lished a new Research Center. The group comprised Teddy, ’49, Anne Romasco, ’51, Walter Nance, ’50 and Mayna Avent, ‘50, all of whom had flown in to Shanghai a day or so earlier, Dave Merwin, ‘53, who happened to be in Shanghai for a few months studying Chinese, Chia Photo Courtesy of T. Heinrichsohn Lun, Tess Johnston (Old China Hand Research Service), two representatives from the school and me, ‘49. We in SASA were especially happy that the two SAS representatives joined us: Fred Rogers, who will be coming to the school this summer as a new administrator and Rosemary Kinyanjui, the Librarian. Readers of this Newsletter who were at the Salem Reunion in September, 2008, will recall that Deke spent many hours photographing not only the returning alumni but hundreds of their fam- ily photographs which they had been encouraged to bring.

  • Chinese Heritage in the Making the in Heritage Chinese
    3 ASIAN HERITAGES Maags (eds) & Svensson Chinese Heritage in the Making Edited by Christina Maags and Marina Svensson Chinese Heritage in the Making Experiences, Negotiations and Contestations Chinese Heritage in the Making Publications The International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS) is a research and exchange platform based in Leiden, the Netherlands. Its objective is to encourage the interdisciplinary and comparative study of Asia and to promote (inter)national cooperation. IIAS focuses on the humanities and social sciences and on their interaction with other sciences. It stimulates scholarship on Asia and is instrumental in forging research networks among Asia Scholars. Its main research interests are reflected in the three book series published with Amsterdam University Press: Global Asia, Asian Heritages and Asian Cities. IIAS acts as an international mediator, bringing together various parties in Asia and other parts of the world. The Institute works as a clearinghouse of knowledge and information. This entails activities such as providing information services, the construction and support of international networks and cooperative projects, and the organization of seminars and conferences. In this way, IIAS functions as a window on Europe for non-European scholars and contributes to the cultural rapprochement between Europe and Asia. IIAS Publications Officer: Paul van der Velde IIAS Assistant Publications Officer: Mary Lynn van Dijk Asian Heritages The Asian Heritages series explores the notions of heritage as they have evolved from European based concepts, mainly associated with architecture and monumental archaeology, to incorporate a broader diversity of cultural forms and value. This includes a critical exploration of the politics of heritage and its categories, such as the contested distinction ‘tangible’ and ‘intangible’ heritages; the analysis of the conflicts triggered by competing agendas and interests in the heritage field; and the productive assessment of management measures in the context of Asia.

Based on the Dynasty and the other focusing on gardens in the Republic of information mentioned above, the author adopts the China period. This paper first elaborates on Xuyuan Garden and conventional view that modern Chinese history spans Zhanyuan Garden, two most representative gardens during the from 1840 to 1949.
