Between solitude and self‐harm
This study aims to explore the self‐harming behaviours and emotional regulation mechanisms among university students within the context of their experiences of loneliness. A mixed‐methods design was employed. In the first phase, semi‐structured interviews were conducted with 20 university students with a self‐harm history or high loneliness levels to investigate their subjective loneliness experiences. In the second phase, an ecological momentary…
State Revenue Extraction and Local Collection Expediency in Qing China
This article investigates tax disputes between Luyi County, Henan Province, and its two neighboring counties during the Qing. It shows that the Qing central government and the provincial authorities allowed local governments to use an expedient scheme called “equal sharing” to fulfill tax quotas on a particular type of farming land—the former princely estates of the Ming that became known as “renamed lands.” In Luyi local elites’ fight against th…
State finance, merchant stake, and foreign interests
The certificate system was a tax farming system that originated in the imperial era. During the Republic of China (1912–1949) the practice largely continued, despite being much criticised. Aiming to explore how and why the system was able to survive until the late 1940s, this article addresses three related issues: the role of the foreign-managed Chief Inspectorate of Salt Revenue in the Chinese state finance, the fiscal relationship between the …
Heaven Has Eyes
A history of Chinese law and justice from the imperial era to the post-Mao era, the book addresses the evolution and function of law codes and judicial practices in China’s long history and examines the transition from traditional laws and practices to their modern counterparts in the twentieth century and beyond. From ancient times to the twenty-first century, there has been an enduring expectation or hope among the Chinese people that justice s…
Law, Custom, and Social Norms
This study examines how law, custom, and social norm interacted in civil justice in Qing and Republican China by looking into 152 civil cases tried in 1912, right after the founding of the Republic of China, and a body of legal interpretations from the Supreme Court during 1912-1929, and certain provisions in the Civil Code of 1929-30--the very first one in Chinese history. It shows that both law and custom were invoked by judges within their mor…

The Chinese Judiciary under the Japanese Occupation
Sitting at the intersection of Chinese legal-judicial history and the history of wartime occupation and collaboration, this study examines how Chinese judiciary functioned in Jiangsu under the Japanese occupation during the Second Sino-Japanese War. It finds that judicial institutions and procedures established prior to 1937 were carried forward, and the judicial system operated, and Chinese legal culture manifested itself, in a fashion similar t…
Trial of Modernity
This book examines the Chinese judicial system and its operations in the Republican era, filling a gap in the scholarship on modern China, Chinese law, Chinese legal history, and comparative law. It offers an analysis of how judicial reform initiatives were envisioned and pursued by the central government from 1901 through 1937, how the various initiatives were, or failed to be, implemented at the provincial and county levels, and how the reform …
The Rule of Law without Due Process
This article investigates one important aspect of the Chinese legal-judicial reform that was unfolding in the early twentieth century (1901-37): i.e., why and how certain types of violent crimes were categorized and punished outside the criminal code and the criminal procedural law that were adopted as the law of the land and applied in court. It will reveal a continuous tension between, on the one hand, the principles of the rule of law, judicia…
Chinese Professionals and the Republican State
Xiaoqun Xu makes a compelling and original contribution to the study of China's modernization with this book on the rise of professional associations in Republican China in their birthplace of Shanghai, and of their political and socio-cultural milieu. This 2001 book is rich in detail about the key professional and political figures and organizations in Shanghai, filling an important gap in its social history. The professional associations were, …
The Fate of Judicial Independence in Republican China, 1912-37
Although scholarship on Chinese law and legal history has been growing, so far no substantive study has been done (in the English language at least) on the judicial reform during the Republican period.1 Without an adequate accounting for this historical experience it is not possible to understand fully the political democratization on Taiwan in recent decades, nor the Communist judicial practices during the Maoist era and the possible direction o…
The Dilema of Accommodation
National Essence' vs 'Science
The medical profession in modern China comprised two radically different schools-modern (Western) medicine and native medicine. The difference in philosophy, theory, and technique made a conflict between the two schools almost inevitable, and the conflict was intensified by the modernization process that was quickened during the Republican period. Western-trained or modern doctors advocated national salvation through science and denounced native …
