S arah S chneewind . Shrines to Living Men in the Ming Political Cosmos
Premortem or “living” shrines (shengci)—that is, sites established to honor and worship living men who had extraordinarily benefited certain locales—while not unique to Chinese civilization, have a recorded history in China stretching back to the advent of the Common Era, their incidence having increased from about the twelfth century onward. In Shrines to Living Men in the Ming Political Cosmos, Sarah Schneewind literally interrogates hundreds o…
Social Relations and Affective States in Classical Chinese Medical Practice
Social Relations and Affective States in Classical Chinese Medical Practice:Zhang Jiebin and the Problem of Renqing* Lynn Struve The year 1624 is significant in the transmission history of the most venerable "classic" of Chinese medicine, the Inner Canon of the Yellow Sovereign (Huangdi neijing; hereafter, Inner Canon). That was when a prominent physician, Zhang Jiebin (hao Jingyue; ca. 1563–ca. 1642), published an abridged, annotated, and rearra…

Song Maocheng’s Matrixes of Mourning and Regret
Through the many poems of loss and commemorative essays in the collected works of Song Maocheng (1569-1620), we can discern three matrixes of association among the author and his deceased loved ones: (1) a patrilineal matrix in which the salient theme is the rupture or felt-failure of paternal and avuncular care and guidance of male children in the patriline; (2) a female-domestic matrix in which losses engendered feelings of guilt, either for pa…
Signs in a Reinterpretation of His Autobiography
In a groundbreaking, much-cited book, The Confucian’s Progress: Autobiographical Writings in Traditional China by Pei-yi Wu 吳百益 (1927–2009), the annalistic autobiography (nianpu 年譜) of the eminent late-Ming 明 monk Hanshan Deqing 憨山德清 (1546–1623) earns an entire chapter, culminating Part II on self-accounts of life-defining spiritual struggles and awakenings. In that chapter, which is the only study in any language that squarely addresses Deqing’s…
Modern China's Liberal Muse
This paper illustrates how, since the turn of the Twentieth Century, the late Ming has often served as an encouraging and affirming antecedent for prominent Chinese scholars and public intellectuals who have wished to see indigenous potential for liberal modern development in China's not-too-distant past. Despite much ideological flux, hopes have persisted for a viably modern China that is more open, free, creative, progressive, pluralist, and se…
Dreaming and Self-search during the Ming Collapse
Time, temporality, and imperial transition
Time is basic to human consciousness and action, yet paradoxically historians rarely ask how it is understood, manipulated, recorded, or lived. Cataclysmic events in particular disrupt and realign the dynamics of temporality among people. For historians, the temporal effects of such events on large polities such as empires—the power projections of which always involve the dictation of time—are especially significant. This important and intriguing…

Ruling from Sedan Chair
Ruling from Sedan Chair:Wei Yijie (1616-1686) and the Examination Reform of the "Oboi" Regency Lynn A. Struve, Professor in the Departments of History and East Asian Languages and Cultures The political history of the first nine years of the Kangxi reign is the most difficult to penetrate of any period in the Qing era. It is defined temporally and thematically by two dramatic, "book-end" events. On one end is the premature death of the Shunzhi em…

The Confusions of Pleasure
Enigma Variations
My memories of “Professor Hucker” (never quite “Charlie,” to me) go back to my days as a graduate student at the University of Michigan and to my participation with him in the Ming-Qing History Delegation to the PRC in the summer of 1979. Like others among his many students, I remember his urging that scholars “do something useful,” and I feel it has contributed to my own non-theoretical, pragmatic bent in publication. More influential, however, …
Education and Society in Late Imperial China, 1600-1900
Voices from the Ming-Qing Cataclysm
This fascinating book presents eyewitness accounts of a turbulent period in Chinese history: the fall of the Ming dynasty and the conquest of China by the Manchus in the mid-seventeenth century. Lynn Struve has translated, introduced, and annotated absorbing testimonies from a wide range of individuals-Chinese and Europeans, missionaries and viceroys, artists and merchants, Ming loyalists and Qing collaborators, maidservants and eunuchs-all telli…
Not 'Conversant'? William James and Huang Zongxi on Being and Knowing
At the Sixth East-West Philosophers' Conference (Honolulu, 1989), Alasdair Maclntyre significantly advanced the debate over whether legitimate grounds exist, or can be established, for valid comparison or genuine communication between different, large-scale systems of thought, such as are found in different cultures or civilizations. In his paper, Incommensurability, Truth, and the Conversation between Confucius and Aristotelians about the Virtue…

Early Qing Officials as Chroniclers of the Conquest
Vol. 10, No. 1 Late Imperial ChinaJune 1989 EARLY QING OFFICIALS AS CHRONICLERS OF THE CONQUEST Lynn A. Struve Early in my work with primary materials on the Ming resistance to the Qing conquest, a principle occurred to me, to wit: Ming officials left memoirs; Qing officials left memorials. Through several more years of my attempts to clarify the basic record of the Ming-Qing struggle, this principle has held true. There are almost no private acc…
The Southern Ming, 1644–1662
As rebel forces overran Shansi, Pei Chihli, and Shantung in the spring of 1644, communications between north and south China were severely disrupted. Confusion, dilatoriness, and lack of direction prevailed among Ming military authorities south of the Yellow River. Most of the regular personnel along the usual postal and transport routes had abandoned their stations, and roads were clogged with refugees who brought southward pestilence, hysteria,…
Huang Zongxi in Context
Too often the thought and scholarship of Huang Zongxi (1610-95), a prominent Chinese intellectual and political activist of the Ming-Qing transition period, are treated in isolation, as though the man stood in a sphere above and apart from most other thinkers of his day. The greatness of his scholarly achievements and the incisiveness of his ideas are stressed, with little attempt to relate those to the accomplishments and ideas of his mentors an…

The Bitter End
During three months from the end of January to the end of April in 1662, the last claimant to the Ming throne, the Yongli emperor (Zhu Youlang) was transported from the Burmese capital of Ava back to the provincial seat of Yunnan by his captors, the joint expeditionary forces of the “Prince Who Pacifies the West,” formidable Wu Sangui, and the eminent Manchu prince, general, and high minister of state, Aisingga. Approximately one month later, in …
