Stretching the Qing Bureaucracy in the 1826 Sea-Transport Experiment
"In a new study of the Qing government's 1826 experiment in sea transport of government grain in response to the collapse of the Grand Canal (1825), Jane Kate Leonard highlights how the Daoguang Emperor, together with Yinghe, his chief fiscal adviser, and Qishan, Governor-General of Liangjiang, devised and implemented this innovative plan by temporarily stretching the Qing bureaucracy to include local "assistant" officials and ad hoc bureaus (ju)…
Money in Asia (1200 – 1900)
Money in Asia examines two chronic problems that faced early modern monetary economies in East, South, and Southeast Asia: The inability to provide sufficient amounts of small currencies to facilitate local economic transactions and to control currency depreciation. The studies in this volume analyze the social and economic consequences of small currency scarcity and devaluation on various Asian economies and show how various regimes tried to man…

Maritime Sector, Institutions, and Sea Power of Premodern China (review)
In this book, Gang Deng's purpose is twofold: first, to describe the nature of China's maritime sector, its resources and institutions, and its impact on maritime Asia in the period prior to the arrival of Europeans; second, to explain the reasons for China's inability to counter European maritime power in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. He employs a broad definition of sea power that includes China's maritime resources, technology, insti…
Controlling from Afar
When natural disaster threatened the Grand Canal network in the early nineteenth century, the Qing government faced a crisis of colossal proportions. Leonard discusses the Daoguang Emperor's handling of this crisis within the context of the strategic, institutional, and technological imperatives that had long shaped management of the canal. Her lucid explication is accompanied by maps and drawings that clearly illustrate both the setting and the …
The Twinge of Memory
The cultural historian Adrian Gregory has found that the 'silence of memory', even though it only lasted two minutes, provided a unifying refuge and a rallying point for the bereaved and demobilised of interwar Britain. In Ireland, no such unity was found. A wartime uprising and intensified independence struggle meant that Irish veterans (almost 200 000 in number) came home in 1919 to find themselves suspect in the eyes of republicans for their w…
To Achieve Security and Wealth
Controlling from Afar' Open Communications and the Tao-Kuang Emperor's Control of Grand Canal-Grain Transport Management, 1824-1826
During the period from late 1824 to 1826, a crisis in the Grand Canal system led to intense and sustained imperial involvement in chiangsu regional government. The collapse of the Yen-hsu retaining embankments on Hung-tse Lake in northern Chiangsu sparked the crisis and caused serious flooding in the Huai-yang region east of the Canal, which destroyed sections of the Canal at the critical Huai-Yellow River junction, and dissipated the lake's unsi…

Rebellion and Its Enemies in Late Imperial China
Chinese Overlordship and Western Penetration in Maritime Asia
Historians have attached a great deal of importance to Wei Yüan's geopolitical work, the Hai-kuo t'u-chih (The illustrated treatise on the maritime kingdoms), because of its use of Western source materials and its treatment of the West. While its importance as the first major Chinese study of the West should not be minimized, this should not obscure the fact that the Treatise was primarily a reassessment of the history of China's relations with t…
