  • Women of Later Han

    Rafe De CrespignyARTICLEMonumenta Serica2019

    Though Confucian teachings might require them to subjugate themselves to the interests of their husband and his family, women of the Han period had a degree of personal autonomy, with rights to property, divorce and remarriage, and some capacity for independent action. At the head of the state, moreover, an empress dowager held regency power during an imperial minority. Despite their formal freedoms, however, in practice most women found their fa…

  • Fire over Luoyang

    Rafe De CrespignyBOOKFire over Luoyang2017

  • Imperial Warlord

    Rafe De CrespignyBOOKImperial warlord2010

    The warlord Cao Cao, founder of the Three Kingdoms state of Wei, is most commonly known through the romantic tradition of the novel Sanguo yanyi and other dramatic fictions, which portray him as cruel and vicious. In fact, however, Cao Cao was a fine strategist and politician who restored a measure of order after the political turmoil and civil war that brought the end of Han. The present work offers a detailed account of Cao Cao's life and times…

  • Adoption in Han China

    Rafe De Crespigny, Miranda BrownARTICLEJournal of the Economic and…2009Cited by: 1

    We investigate surviving legal statutes regarding inheritance and descriptions of adoption from the Han dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE), asking to what extent there was consensus among the literate elite about the rules for adoption. We argue that, in contrast to later periods, there is little evidence for the existence of any single set of classical prescriptions. Instead, the Han ruling elite had at their disposal a variety of legitimate strategies fo…

  • Recruitment Revisited

    Rafe De CrespignyARTICLEEarly Medieval China2008

    Though the imperial bureaucracy of Later Han employed some 150,000 men, the majority held only junior rank, in secretarial and technical posts or low-level positions in the police and the military. High office was reserved for those with an imperial commission, on which basis they could rise to power and authority. Most men who received commissions were recommended by the officials in charge of their local communities, and were then subject to a …
