Greening Without Conflict? Environmentalism, NGOs and Civil Society in China
This article argues that the specific features and dynamics of China's environmentalism can be attributed to two factors: the 'greening' of the Chinese state at the time when environmentalism emerged, and the alternating politics of toleration and strict control of social organizations. As a result, environmentalism has developed in a gradual way, encompassing the various forms of 'green' NGOs that we see in the West and the ex-socialist states o…
In defense of Sinicization
In her recent presidential address, "Reenvisioning the Qing," Professor Evelyn Sakakida Rawski attacks the "sinicization" theme originally presented as one of the five major aspects of my 1967 article, "The Significance of the Ch'ing Period in Chinese History" (Ho 1967). In her essay-frankly admitted to have been based exclusively on "recent secondary literature"-she states that "a notable outcome of the new scholarship is the rejection of the si…

The Paleoenvironment of North China—A Review Article
K. C. Chang has been instrumental in the West in propagating the view that North China in Neolithic times was lush, moist, and densely forested. A close scrutiny of data relating to palynology, soil science, and paleoclimate, however, indicates that the true loess areas of North China were, and have always been, semiarid steppe. In addition, the author considers Chang's belief that the earliest northern Chinese agriculture was a system of slash-a…

The Presidential Address
The longevity of Chinese civilization is generally conceded to be a unique phenomenon in world history; as such it has evoked explanations ranging from the plausible to the esoteric. A search for the roots of its longevity is now feasible, thanks to the massive archaeological and scientific data pouring out of China since 1949. A preliminary integration of such multifarious new data with rich archaic Chinese literary records has enabled me to rea…

The Significance of the Ch'ing Period in Chinese History
Although the Ch'ing period is generally regarded as one of the better studied and understood periods of Chinese history, the existing fund of our knowledge is actually far from adequate. A systematic discussion of the significance of the entire period from 1644 to 1912 would require a large number of articles, monographs, and fresh syntheses. Since the purpose of this paper is merely to stimulate further discussion and research, I hope to be excu…

Aspects of Social Mobility in China, 1368-1911
Social mobility in traditional China, particularly during the last two dynasties, Ming (1368-1644) and Ch'ing (1644-1911), for which ample data are available, deserves systematic study by both Chinese and Western historians and social scientists. It is remarkable to observe that in a meticulously 'regulated' society such as traditional China's, there was probably a greater amount of vertical mobility, both upward and downward, than is usually fou…

"Weng T'ung-Ho and the "One Hundred Days of Reform
It has been a common belief of students of Chinese history that the “One Hundred Days of Reform” of 1898 got under way only after Weng T'ungho, the imperial tutor and associate grand secretary, popularly known to foreigners as China's prime minister, strongly recommended the reformer K'ang Yu-wei to the Emperor Te-tsung in the spring of that eventful year. So strong has been this impression that Weng was alleged to have said that his own official…
