In imperial China the normal pattern for the passing on of property across generations, giving assets to daughters as dowry at marriage and bequeathing the family estate in equal portions to sons upon the deaths of the parents, was distorted when both parents died without there being a living son, a situation called the extinguishing of the household (jeuhu). Under some dynasties the state attempted to deal with this phenomenon by mandating the p…

These tensions work themselves out in a context of geography, technology, economy, and tradition that shape the choices that the groups and individuals in the society think that they have. Disparities of values and circumstances, of patterns of action and experience, and of expectations and unders…
Law and Order in Sung China
This study examines law enforcement within the context of Sung society.

This work is the first comprehensive study of law enforcem…

Patterns of Law and Patterns of Thought: Notes on the Specifications (shih) of Sung China
The category of laws called shih (specifications) first appeared under Western Wei (535-557), became one of four major types of law under Sung (960-1279) and then vanished as a formal category of law. T'ang sources show in that dynasty shih were low-level adminstrative rulings for applying general laws to specific situations. Shih examples from Sung, however, are entirely different. They almost all fall into two discrete groups: those which set f…

In imperial China, workers drawn from the local populace performed many of the basic functions of local administration. Standing between the rulers and the ruled, these men mediated in both directions. McKnight's study concentrates on the nature of this village-level subbureaucratic activity in the Sung period; it sheds new light on the emergence of early Chinese society while providing a background against which to assess social changes during l…

The Selection of Southern Sung Village Officers: To Whom Power
Chinese imperial absolutism was born in the Sung the centralizing policies of Tai-tsu and T'ai-tsung were ancestral to the despotism of the Ming and Ch'ing.1 Though always autocratic in theory and sometimes autocratic in practice, Chinese rulers during the first millennium of the empire often found their powers circumscribed by the influence of the men around them. But, after the founding of the Sung the general trend was toward the placing in th…

tion, and within secularization fall such movements as nationalism, communism, fascism, democracy, etc., to the extent that they have asserted themselves as quasireligions. This point involves, no doubt, not only the religions of Japan but, more broadly, the problem of religion in numerous civilized and secularized societies. Finally, the fact that the author makes wide-ranging and yet cautious use of the research results of Japan's leading schol…
