One is a map from an official gazetteer, the second accompanied a privately produced guidebook/description of the city, and the third is a single broadsheet with a mix of cartographic and pictorial imagery aimed at a more popular audienc…
Cultural Intersections in Later Chinese Buddhism
In a demonstration of the value of interdisciplinary, culture-based approaches, this collection of essays on "later" Chinese Buddhism takes us beyond the bedrock subjects of traditional Buddhist historiography--scriptures and commentaries, sectarian developments, lives of notable monks--to examine a wide range of extracanonical materials that illuminate cultural manifestations of Buddhism from the Song dynasty (960-1279) through the modern period…
Revolutionary Politics in Twentieth-Century China
Maurice Meisner was an important scholar of twentieth-century Chinese history, whose work focused on the ideological and bureaucratic dimensions of the People’s Republic and its origins in the upheavals of the first half of the century. This review considers a Festschrift including contributions from eight former students of Meisner, with articles on a wide array of topics across the period from the 1920s to the early twenty-first century. Streng…

Wang Shizhen as Partisan
In the past ten or fifteen years scholars have developed new perspectives on political conflict in early modern China that elucidate the roles played by groups within the world of literati culture and official bureaucratic life. Moreover, they show that such collectivities often sought to advance agendas which combined policy views and personal ambitions. Works such as Lin Manhong's study of monetary policy in the early nineteenth century and Jie…

The Decadent Chalice
The motif of decadence has a long history in Chinese literary and political rhetoric. It is bound up with the idea of restoration, of revival. In the Analects Confucius deploys this by invoking the decline of proper ritual forms and observances as indicative of the overall decay of civil morality and governmental order. The use of an idealized antiquity as a foil for criticizing contemporary society or politics is evident in such later writers as…
