Fifty Years of Modern China: An International Journal of History and Social Science
Looking back at the past half-century since the founding of the journal Modern China in 1975, we can see that in the beginning non–Chinese American scholars accounted for fully 73 percent of all articles. That figure remained at a fairly high 64 percent at the end of the century, but has declined greatly since, first down to 26 percent by 2005-2009, and further to just 11 percent in 2020-2022. That decline has been partly countered by the increas…
The History and Theory of Legal Practice in China: Toward a Historical-Social Jurisprudence
The History and Theory of Legal Practice in China: Toward a Historical-Social Jurisprudence goes beyond the either/or dichotomy of Chinese vs. Western law, tradition vs. modernity, and the substantive-practical vs. the formal. It does so by proceeding not from abstract legal texts but from the realities of legal practice. Whatever the declared intent of a law, it must in actual application adapt to social realities. It is the two dimensions of re…

Women and Property in China, 960-1949
Previous scholarship has presented a static picture of property inheritance in China, mainly because it has focused primarily on men, whose rights changed little throughout the Imperial and Republican periods. However, when our focus shifts to women, a very different and dynamic picture emerges. Drawing on newly available archival case records, this book demonstrates that women’s rights to property changed substantially from the Song through the …

Civil Law in Qing and Republican China
Editors' Foreword
The Inheritance Rights of Daughters: The Song Anomaly
Scholars of Chinese legal and social history have long been intrigued by apparent evidence that daughters had stronger rights to family property during the Southern Song than at any other time in Chinese history before the twentieth century. The evidence comes from the Collection of Lucid Decisions by Celebrated Judges (Minggong shupan qingmingii, hereafter referred to as Qingmingii), a collection of 473 Southern Song judgments. A number of cases…
Civil Law in Qing and Republican China
This pioneering volume shows that contrary to previous scholarly understanding, the courts in Qing (1644-1911) and Republican (1911-1949) China dealt extensively with civil matters such as land rights, debt, marriage, and inheritance; and, moreover, did so in a consistent and predictable way. Drawing on records of hundreds of cases from local archives in several parts of China, it considers such questions as the relation between codified law and …

Elite and Peasant During the Taiping Occupation of the Jiangnan, 1860-1864
This poem, related to Chinese scholars by peasants sometime in the 1950s, captures the sense of expectation with which their forebears throughout south and central China had awaited the arrival of the Taiping rebels a century earlier. As promised in their document The Land System of the Heavenly Dynasty, the Talpings would eliminate the rich and elevate the poor until all were equal in status and wealth. Other folk songs and tales suggest that th…
