Ming Taizu (r. 1368–98) and the Foundation of the Ming Dynasty in China
This second collection of studies by Hok-lam Chan focuses on the person and the image of Ming Taizu, the founder of the Ming dynasty, and a powerful, brutal and autocratic emperor who has had a significant impact not only in late imperial China, but also in East Asia, over the last six centuries. Individual studies look at the legitimation of the dynasty, particular military and religious figures, policies of persecution and punishment, and strug…
Chang Chung[ 1 ] and his Prophecy: The Transmission of the Legend of an Early Ming Taoist[
The earliest biography of Chang Chung which supplies the basic source for later accounts was written by Sung Lien, a learned Confucian scholar and imperial adviser. Sung states, he drew his material primarily from a file of notes compiled by Chu Yuan-chang, then emperor, and secondarily from his own reminiscences. The first mention of Chang Chung’s prophetic insight occurs in the Ch‘an-hsuan hsien-chiao pien by Yang P‘u, who reports a meeting bet…
The Rise of Ming T‘ai-Tsu (1368–98): Facts and Fictions in Early Ming Official Historiography
It was a common practice of the Chinese official historiographers to employ pseudo-historical, semi-fictional source materials alongside the factual, ascertainable data in their narratives for prescribed political or didactic purposes despite their commitment to the time-honored principles of truth and objectivity in the Confucian-oriented traditional historiography. The intrusion of these non-historical elements in the imperial historical record…

Li Chih 1527-1602 in Contemporary Chinese Historiography: New light on his life and works
This title was first published in 1980. The present monograph, primarily a collection of annotated translations of these recent studies, is neither a new appraisal of Li Chih drawing on these materials nor a critical evaluation of the current Chinese scholarship on his life and thought. In a modest way it is an attempt to make these new sources of information more readily accessible to the sinological community to faciliate research. The division…
Xie Jin (1369–1415) as Imperial Propagandist: His Role in the Revisions of the Ming Taizu Shilu
A Recipe to Qubilai Qa’an on Governance: The Case of Chang Te-hui and Li Chih
It has been well established in modern scholarship that the Mongol successors to Chinggis Qan (1162–1227), who launched the campaign against the Chin state in 1213 that led to its extinction in 1234, were heavily indebted to the counsel and support of the Chinese grandees of Jurchen rule in their consolidation of north China. This passed through different stages, beginning with Ögödei Qa’an (r. 1229–41) and continued by Möngke (r. 1251–9), throug…

The Chien-wen, Yung-lo, Hung-hsi, and Hsüan-te reigns, 1399–1435
The period from 1399 to 1436 spans the reigns of four descendants of the founding emperor. The short Chien-wen reign (1399–1402) which was ended precipitously by usurpation, preceded the Yung-lo reign (1403–25), an era of imperial consolidation and expansion; the Hung-hsi reign (1425– 26), which lasted only nine months, was followed by a period of stability and retrenchment during the Hsüan-te reign (1426–36). There were, then, two short interlud…

Supplement to “Li Chih (1527–1602): A Modern Bibliography” 1974–1978
Since completing my preliminary survey of the modern bibliography on Li Chih, which appeared in MING STUDIES, 6:17–27 (Spring, 1978), I gained access to a recent source book on this important Ming thinker, a collection of periodical articles published in the People's Republic in 1974–75 that had hitherto eluded my attention. This is the LI CHIH HSIN-P'ING (A New Appraisal of Li Chih), compiled by Chin Ju-chieh and published by the Sun Chau Book C…
Li Chih (1527–1602): A Modern Bibliography
Li Chih , the controversial iconoclastic intellectual prodigy of the late Ming, noted for his outspoken criticism of the Confucian tradition and the established social and political order, has elicited much scholarly attention since the turn of the twentieth century. There has been a profusion of literature on many facets of the man: his ancestry, his life, his thought and his writings in various forms of academic publications in Chinese, Japanes…
A Bibliographical Survey of Ming Studies in Archaeological Periodicals From the People's Republic of China, 1976
This is a sequel to the bibliographical survey of scholarly articles on Ming studies from the archaeological periodicals of the People's Republic which appeared in MING STUDIES, No. 2 (Spring, 1976). The present survey covers all the issues of the major archaeological periodicals—WEN-WU (Cultural Relics), KAOGU (Archaeology), and KAOGU XUEBAO (Acta Archaeologica Sinica)—published in 1976. It includes nine articles, eight from WEN-WU and one from …
A Bibliographic Survey of Ming Studies in Archaeological Periodicals From the People's Republic of China, 1972–1975
The resumption of regular publications of the major archaeological periodicals, Wen-wu (Cultural Relics), Kaogu (Archaeology) and Kaogu Xuebao (Acta Archaeologia Sinica) from the People's Republic of China early in 1972, after several years' suspension, must be hailed with enthusiasm by all researchers and students of Chinese studies. These periodicals provide the only outlet for information on the latest archaeological discoveries inside China, …
