For Heaven-Human Conviviality
This article uses a Chinese narrative of 'nature-human harmony' as the main thread to connect the contributions of ontological anthropology. I argue that the best of the critiques of nature-human or nature-culture dualism in social anthropology propose rebuilding a world that 'pursues harmony while preserving difference' in the double sense of nature and culture. Given that most social scientific problems are indeed related to utilitarian individ…
We Are One of “The Others”
Why should human beings be divided into “us” or “them”? This question underlies the basic proposition of anthropology. In fact, it has never received a decisive answer. In the dialogue between Marshall Sahlins and Wang Mingming, the two agree that “we are part of the other,” because it is to the other that we owe the constitution of our full selves. The modernity of diversity and plurality supports the validity of this judgment
To learn from the ancestors or to borrow from the foreigners
This article is a shortened version of a lecture. It deals with the duality of China's modern 'civilisation' - its connectivity with the 'ancestral landscape' and its openings to the outside world. In presenting the duality, the author examines a wide range of intellectual and political discourses of 'civilisation' emerged in the past three decades and relates them to the translation and re-translation of the concept in a longer history. The auth…
Grassroots Charisma
This book relates the stories of four leaders under very different political regimes: Colonial, Nationalist and Communist. The authors compare Chinese notions of respect and inspiration with their equivalents in other religious and political histories of colonial and post-colonial modernity, thereby producing a thorough re-working of the idea of charisma. The result is an intriguing study of the relationship between religious and political author…
All under heaven (tianxia)
This essay examines historical transformations of the Chinese concept of tianxia ("all under heaven"1) in pre-modern periods. More specifically, it attends to the diverse ways tianxia has been built out of relationships between cosmology and political organization. The subtitles of this essay-archaic tianxia, relatedness as virtue, conceptions of the world in the Warring States, empire, Neo-Daoist and Buddhist inversions, and ethnographic others-…

The Third Eye
■ China is a vast country. Ethnic minority nationalities ( shaoshu minzu) located in different parts of the Chinese nation could have provided possibilities for the majority Han Chinese anthropologists to imagine `internal others'. Even among the Han, social life does not follow a uniform pattern: it includes great regional cultural diversities that could have allowed fieldworking anthropologists to develop their own arguments about cultural diff…
The West as the Other
Long before the Europeans reached the east, the ancient Chinese had advanced their perspectives of the west. In this groundbreaking book, Wang explores a fascinating perspective of the Other. He locates the Other in the alternating directionologies of classical and imperial China, leading the reader into a long history of Chinese geo-cosmologies and world-scapes. In his analysis, Wang also delves into the historical records of Chinese world activ…
