Ruth Mostern. “Dividing the Realm in Order to Govern”

Branches of Heaven. A History of the Imperial Clan of Sung China
Talons and Teeth
Powerful Relations
The realignment of the Chinese social order that took place over the course of the Sung dynasty set the pattern for Chinese society throughout most of the later imperial era. This study examines that realignment from the perspective of specific Sung families, using data on two groups of Sung elites - the grand councilors who led the bureaucracy, and locally prominent gentlemen in Wu-chou (in modern China). By analyzing kinship relationships, the …
Son of Heaven and Heavenly Qaghan
Wind against the Mountain
Richard Davis has expertly crafted a stirring narrative of the last years of Song, focusing on loyalist resistance to Mongol domination as more than just a political event. Davis convincingly argues that Song martyrs were dying for more than dynasty alone: martyrdom can be linked to other powerfully compelling symbols as well. Seen from the perspective of the conquered, the phenomenon of martyrdom reveals much about the cultural history of the So…

Brotherhoods and Secret Societies in Early and Mid-Qing China
Imagining Matriarchy
Traditional Chinese sources designated certain self-contained societies as kingdoms of women either on the grounds that no men were present in the population or that women served as heads of state. This paper seeks to identify and discuss the kingdoms of women as known in Tang China under two categories: (1) mythical kingdoms constructed by legend and imagination, and (2) historical kingdoms, located in western Tibet, Japan, and Korea, which did,…
A Change in Dynasties
Another Side of Chinese Eunuch History
Eunuchs in Chinese history existed as imperial court servants and as a political institution for over three thousand years. In this paper, I briefly review the scholarship on these men and then proceed to explore beyond the popular image of brutal eunuch politics, focusing on the eunuchs themselves as individuals and functioning members of the family and society. By looking at castration, marriage, adoption, and burial practices, I argue that the…
