A Trickle of Authority
This article will explore some of the Qing Empire's primary adaptations, mainly pastoral and agricultural, to the arid environments of southern, eastern and northern Xinjiang - that is, the Tarim, Hami-Turfan and Zünghar basins respectively. It first examines the region's arid climate and its constraining implications for, first, agriculture as the empire's standard form of territorial incorporation in the south and east; and, second, pastoralism…
Micah S. Muscolino. The Ecology of War in China
The Yellow River, China’s second-longest waterway and Asia’s third-longest, is not exactly a typical veteran of the Second World War (or, if you are Chinese, of the “War of Resistance against Japan”). The river did not attack Pearl Harbor, hit the beaches on D-Day, island-hop across the southwestern Pacific, gut it out in Stalingrad, perpetrate the Rape of Nanking, or endure Bulges and Humps. As Micah S. Muscolino ably demonstrates, the Yellow Ri…
Milk, Game or Grain for a Manchurian Outpost
The long record of imperial China's Inner Asian borderland relations is not simply multi-ethnic, but 'multi-environmental'. Human dependencies on livestock, wild animals and cereal cultivars were the prerequisite environmental relations for borderland incorporation. This paper examines such dependencies during the Qing Dynasty's (1644-1912) establishment of the Manchurian garrison of Hulun Buir near the Qing border with Russia. Garrison logistics…
An Intermittent Order Contrived on Sand
Across Forest, Steppe, and Mountain
In this book, David Bello offers a new and radical interpretation of how China's last dynasty, the Qing (1644–1911), relied on the interrelationship between ecology and ethnicity to incorporate the country's far-flung borderlands into the dynasty's expanding empire. The dynasty tried to manage the sustainable survival and compatibility of discrete borderland ethnic regimes in Manchuria, Inner Mongolia, and Yunnan within a corporatist 'Han Chinese…
Relieving Mongols of Their Pastoral Identity
This article explores the contradictory effects of state disaster relief on the Inner Mongolian steppe borderland of China's last dynasty, the Qing (1644–1911). As a Manchu-dominated polity most noted for its unprecedented unification of vast Inner Asian territories with China proper, the Qing had to manage complex environmental dependencies between humans, climate, vegetation, water resources, and animals across diverse borderlands. In Inner Mon…
The Cultured Nature of Imperial Foraging in Manchuria
This article uses Chinese and Manchu sources to examine ???imperial foraging??? in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries as a primary form of environmental relations between humans and the ecology of Manchuria. The article shows that Manchus and Manchuria were not simply conceptual products of exclusive human interaction alone, but tangible results of interactions between humans and other regional biodiversity. The article traces the nas…
Opium and the Limits of EmpireOpium and the Limits of Empire
The Opium Problem in Xinjiang
Translation of Shanxi Taiyu District Magistrate Chen Lihe’s “Opium Prohibition Pledge” Stele
The British Prohibition in India in Comparative Perspective
Opium and Qing Expansionism
The Opium Problem in Southwestern China
Dynastic Opium Policy Before the Daoguang Reign
Poppies without Borders
This article examines opium prohibition as a component of Eurasian imperial state‐building. This comparative study of prohibition problems in British India and Qing China in the early 1800s reveals the limits structures of indirect rule in frontier areas placed on the territorial pretensions of the Qing and East India Company
Opium and the Limits of Empire
To Go Where No Han Could Go for Long
Malaria was one of the most important factors for the maintenance of the native chieftainship system and its attendant tribal identities in Yunnan’s southwestern borderlands during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The Qing dynasty (1644-1911) was forced to rely on chieftainship administrative space and its tribal inhabitants as unreliable bulwarks against incursions by “wild” tribals and Myanmar primarily because Han Chinese vulnerability…
The Venomous Course of Southwestern Opium
The opium-smuggling trade that britain pursued on the eastern seacoast of China has become the symbol of China's century-long descent into political and social chaos. In the standard historical narratives of both China and Euro-America, opium is the primary medium through which the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) encountered the modern economic, social, and political institutions of the West. Consequently, opium and the Western powers' advent on the Chi…
