The Classical Chinese Primer: Its Three-Character Style and Authorship
The San-tzu ching (Three-character Classic), the most recited primer in traditional China, has an appealing style and imparts both useful information and Neo-Confucian values. Mistakenly attributed to Wang Ying-lin (1223-1296), it was probably written by a pragmatic author during the Mongol period. However, the style of three-character sentences did have a Sung period prototype authored by Ch'en Chun (1153-1217) for his own child

Political Institutions in Traditional China
Village and Bureaucracy in Southern Sung China
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…

Yüeh Fei (1103-41) and China's Heritage of Loyalty
Loyalty is at present an agonizing question to many concerned Chinese who face either divisive circumstances or imposition of particular political lines. Few topics could be more relevant than their heritage of loyalty and its implications today. Never a simple matter in politics, loyalty often produced great tensions and even ironical tragedies that filled the pages in Chinese history. As early as the Shang period, according to the ancient legen…

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…
The Sung Views On the Control of Government Clerks
The extensive use of clerks (ii)--principally the clerical scribes (shu-li) and broadly all kinds of miscellaneous clercks (hsii-lu)-has been a striking characteristic of the Chinese government particularly since the Sung period. In the rigidly structured society, the clerks were a unique substratum between the two broad socio-political classes, the officials and the people 1). They worked for the government as a servile group and often had to su…
Sung Roots of Chinese Political Conservatism: The Administrative Problems
The Sung period (960-1279), as is generally recognized, shaped the pattern of China's development for the last millennium. Carrying forward the trends originating in late T'ang, it integrated both the traditional and the new ingredients into a distinctive way of life which gradually permeated the entire society down to the level of the average villager. The result was a broadly based, deeply rooted, stable, but conservative culture. Remarkable ec…

This study starts with three assumptions. First, inasmuch as the concept "absolutism" which is often used in writing about premodern Chinese history needs clarification, it will be helpful to study imperial power at the level of actual administrative operations. Second, within the framework of general political and ideological institutions, administrative operations have dynamics of their own. Finally, a new understanding of these dynamics as a c…

German Mediation in the Sino-Japanese War, 1937-38
When the marco polo bridge incident occurred near peiping on july 7, 1937, japan was not prepared to launch a long-term war with china. on the contrary, she was hopeful that a little military pressure would result in a local settlement providing for North China autonomy and economic co-operation with Japan, which she had been demanding for several years. When the incident developed into a fullscale war toward the end of July, she declared that he…

Eleventh-Century Chinese Bureaucrats: Some Historical Classification and Behavioral Types
How to classify bureaucrats or administrators is a common concern today in political science, administrative science, and sociology. The author reports here his studies of this problem in the comparative historical context of eleventh-century bureaucracy in Sung China and draws parallels between his studies and current literature in the social sciences. The article suggests that in the Chinese cultural environment a moralistic basis was more impo…

The Neo-Traditional Period (ca. 800–1900) in Chinese History: A Note in Memory of the Late Professor Lei Hai-tsung
Most periodization schemes of Chinese history would note the significance of a “great divide.” It may be placed before the T'ang period, considering from ethnological as well as cultural standpoints such factors as the first major influx of non-Han conquering groups, the march toward the sub-tropics, the penetration of Buddhism, and so forth. It may be placed much later, around 800 A. D. or after, roughly from the late T'ang to the early Sung, no…
