This essay presents a slice of a larger theoretical interpretation (Thaxton, 1975) of peasant revolution in China. It employs eclectic and empirical methods to probe and posit the origins and growth of participation by tenants in the rural revolution which burst forth in the grain-growing regions of Nortlh China from 19 11 to 1949. It draws on a vertical, patron-client model of political change to understand the erosion of elite legitimacy and utilizes a horizontal, class model of social conflict to explain the Chinese revolution as a special case of peasant revolt in Asia-a case in which exploitation in rural class relations has been so crushing as to grind out a critical mass of agrarian revolutionaries, including a stratum of degraded peasants within the villages
