From Birth to Birth: The Growing Body in Chinese Medicine
Chinese Views of Childhood
Chinese in the twentieth century, intent on modernizing their country, condemned their inherited culture in part on the grounds that it was oppressive to the young. The authors of this pioneering volume provide us with the evidence to re-examine those charges. Drawing on sources ranging from art to medical treatises, fiction, and funerary writings, they separate out the many complexities in the Chinese cultural construction of childhood and the w…

Thinking with cases: Specialist knowledge in pre-modern Chinese history1
In thinking of the epistemology of the sciences, experts on Chinese thought have long acknowledged traditions of empirical knowledge there. But until recently interpretation has been shaped by the negative question, 'why didn't modern science arise in China?' made famous by the work of Joseph Needham. This essay brings together the results of several multi-disciplinary conferences on specialist case records in pre-modern China. Named 'an', with r…

Chinese Medicine and the Anthropology of Menstruation in Contemporary Taiwan
Structured interviews with 54 Taiwanese women reveal three frameworks used in interpreting menstruation: biomedicine, traditional Chinese medicine, and popular Buddhist teachings concerning menstrual pollution. Age and class influence women's preferences in ways that only partially reflect traditional-modern dualisms. Although it does not challenge the prestige of biomedicine, Chinese medicine provides an alternative to Western-style medicalizati…

Intellectual change: From the Reform movement to the May Fourth movement, 1895–1920
The 1898 reform movement was an effort at institutional change on the part of ranking literati close to the throne. Where it had been directed at the inherited political order, the intellectual campaign for a totally 'new culture', which was symbolized by the May Fourth demonstrations of 1919, was seen as an attack upon the traditional moral and social orders. Filtered through the interpretive matrix of reform cosmology, science and democracy app…

The Limits of Change: Essays on Conservative Alternatives in Republican China
The Limits of Change disputes the impression that the conservative ideas and styles of China's Republican period were neither strong nor persuasive enough to counter the ideas or the revolution of Mao. As the contributors to the book point out, these conservative movements reflected a modern outlook and shared a framework of common concepts with the radical movements they opposed. In these essays we see the broad range of responses that conservat…
