The construction of “citizen-state” relations in the intellectual world of modern China and the establishment of individual
citizenship in political discourse have opened up a political and discourse sphere for modern women to strive for new identities,
wherein some intellectually advanced women have managed to establish their individual identity as “female citizen” by carrying
the debate on the relationship between women and the state with regard to their rights and responsibilities, and on the relationship
between gender role and citizenship. Though the idea of “female citizen” was not provided with a political theory of practical
significance, the subject identity of women, however, was repeatedly spoken about and strengthened in brand-new literary practices,
resulting in a dynamic discourse of “female citizen”; in the meantime, disagreements concerning the concepts of “female rights,”
“civil rights,” and “natural rights” have all helped create significant tension inside the related discourse sphere.

Conjugal relationship has a predominant role in ancient Chinese familial life. Yet most researches on conjugal relationship
have tended to focus on the arrangement of marriage, disregarding marital life after wedding. It is the general impression
that matrimonial relation follows the ethics of Confucian doctrine of “the husband as principle of the wife,” or relevant
code of laws like “Seven Outs,” edited according to these principles. There are three factors that contribute to marital relationship
in the Tang Dynasty: ideology, ethics, and written laws. Although written laws are influenced by Confucian ideology, and hence
following Confucian system of manners, on the practical level, ordinance still appears as the most reliable source to analyze
familial relationships. People in the Tang Dynasty stress family status when they marry wives, yet when marrying concubines,
versatility is of interest. Whereas records in official history documents and epitaphs are not entirely accountable, the complicated
relationships between husband and wife, husband and concubine, and that between wife and concubine need to be further illustrated.

The Western terms “feudal” and “feudalism” have been widely and improperly translated as “fengjian” in contemporary China. The early Western Sinologists and Chinese scholars, including Yan Fu, did not originally make such
a translation. Yan initially transliterated the term “feudalism” as fute zhi in his early translations. It was not until the 20th century, when Western classical evolutionism found its way into China,
that “feudalism” was reduced to an abstract concept, and the Western European model was generalized as a framework for understanding
development in China and the whole world. Only then did Yan Fu first equate “feudalism” with “fengjian,” and China was believed to have experienced a “feudal society” in the same sense as Europe. From the perspective of intellectual
history, using evidential and theoretical analyses, this article attempts to show that feudalism was a historical product
in the development of Western Europe and existed only in Europe, “fengjian” is a system appropriate only in discussions of pre-Qin China, and China from the Qin to the Qing experienced instead a system
of imperial autocracy. The medieval periods in the West and in China evidence widely divergent social forms and hence should
not be confused with the same label.

The dominant views regarding the concepts of “the public” (gong) and “the private” (si) took shape in the Spring and Autumn period and matured in the succeeding years of the Warring States period. This paper
is an attempt to trace both the growth of the vocabulary containing “gong” and “si” and the development of philosophical views regarding issues that center on the relation between the individual and the larger
social/communal/political body, of which that individual is a member; it also touches on issues related to the proper handling
of public affairs and the relation between state, sovereign, and the individual. The era is often characterized as “The Contention
of the Hundred Schools of Thought,” notwithstanding it ended with but one view that is universally accepted by thinkers of
diverse persuasion, namely, si is the source of all social evil and, therefore, should be condemned. This is the doctrine known as ligong miesi (abolishing si so gong may be established), which contributed to the orthodox for that era and the millennium to come. By extolling gong and condemning si, it painted a portrait of the pair as two irreconcilable norms or forces in social and political life; it provided a justification
for the then emerging new social arrangement and ways of distribution of power and resources, and it also led to acute conflicts
between the sovereign and the state, the ruled and the ruler, the state and the subject, as well as the public sphere and
the private domain.

Wang Zhaojun was a romanticized historical figure. The visualization of her was characterized by specific historical and social
backgrounds. While her image was shaped with the thousands of years’ expansion of northern interethnic relations in ancient
China, the united modern multi-ethnic state created her glorious image as “an angel bringing about national harmony, peace,
and unity.”

Using the political culture analysis method, this paper discusses the origin, contents and functions of the agriculture encouragement
system of the Song dynasty, which originated from the pre-Qin period (221–207 BC). The main content of this system in its
early stage is that in the early Spring days, the king symbolically ploughed a piece of land near the suburbs of his capital
in order to send to his subjects a clear message of the importance he attached to agriculture. It was expected that peasants
would be encouraged by his majesty’s guidance, and thus agricultural production of the countryside would be promoted. With
the rationalization of the political system since the Qin period, agricultural encouragement gradually became a routine work
of the Chinese governments at different levels. Under the Northern Song dynasty (960–1127), “agricultural encouragement envoy”
was added to the official rank of heads of counties and prefectures. They each were required to take the responsibility of
persuading peasants in their jurisdiction to work harder in the field. The actual work as an “agricultural encouragement envoy”
in the Song dynasty was to go to the countryside to reward peasants with food and wine in early February, and to write an
essay to express his encouragement, and to distribute it to the peasants. Formalistic as it is, the agricultural encouragement
system is a typical manifestation of the traditional Chinese political culture. As one of its social impacts on the Song society,
it helped the spread of advanced agricultural technology with its institutional basis.

The studies of urban popular culture in modern China in recent years have attracted wide attention from scholars in China
and abroad. The symposium, which is composed by Ma Min’s “Injecting vitality into the studies of urban cultural history,”
Jiang Jin’s “Issues in the studies of urban popular culture in modern China,” Wang Di’s “The microcosm of Chinese cities:
The perspective and methodology of studying urban popular culture from the case of teahouses in Chengdu,” Joseph W. Esherick’s
“Remaking the Chinese city: Urban space and urban culture” and Lu Hanchao’s “From elites to common people: The downward trend
in the studies of Chinese urban history in the United States,” provide valuable insights on the perspective, trend, and methodology
of the studies.
Four articles of the symposium are translated by Yang Kai-chien and Jin Xueqin from Shixue Yuekan 史学月刊 (Journal of Historical Science), 2008, (5): 5–19; Joseph W. Esherick provides the English version of his article. 相似文献

To promote historical research today, one needs to create a vigorous environment for historiographic criticism, to summarize
the progress and state of all fields and topics of history, and to enhance the study of historiography. All these three aspects,
which share similar characteristics, can be called “historiography.” Their essence is the basic method for deepening the study
of historiography as a whole and refining its branches from the perspective of intellectual history. They can help us to form
a healthy scholarly mechanism to review historical achievements, which would be crucial to the development of academic research.

The famous battle of Chibi, or “battle of Red Cliff”, took place in 208 CE, the 13th year of the Jian’an period of the Eastern Han dynasty. This paper holds that the whole battle consisted of three inseparable
stages, namely the initial clash at Chibi, the chase battle to Wulin, and Cao Cao’s disorganized escape along Huarong Road.
The Red Cliff battlefield thus extended across a distance of more than 300 li (150km). Even if the Chibi where the initial military engagement took place (that is, Chiji Hill, southwest of Wuchang in
modern Wuhan City) has already disappeared, it should be restored to its proper historical position. The chase battle along
the Yangzi River came to an end at Wulin, across the river is Chibi Hill in today’s Chibi City. Although this Chibi is not
the Chibi where the initial combat took place, it nonetheless forms an integral part of the ancient Chibi battlefield as a
whole. The Huarong Road along which Cao Cao escaped runs through the middle of today’s Jianghan Plain. Finally, the text aims
to show that Chibi (Red Nose) Hill in modern Huangzhou City has nothing to do with the Chibi of the “battle of Red Cliff.”

Majority of contemporary Chinese historians have been employing a conceptual framework focusing on the difficulty of capitalistic
development in China to analyze the historical trend and potentials of late imperial China. This approach based upon the presupposition
of viewing the pattern of Chinese history as abnormal reflects with the remaining influence of the Western-centric methodology.
Further, based upon a “normal” point of view, seven fundamental, irreversible, and systematical changes to the Ming society
could be identified. By conclusion, China in the Ming period was transforming into an imperial agric-mercantile society. This
process proves that late imperial China was not stagnate society without “history,” meanwhile, its pattern of development
was clearly not identical to the Western style modernization progress.

The historical changes of the “Maowusu Desert” can be divided into three phases: the late Tang dynasty phase, the Song-Yuan-Ming
dynasty phase, and the late Ming dynasty to the present phase. Different parts of the desert were formed in different times,
with the northwestern part being the earliest to form. As all evidence shows, the Maowusu Desert in its early stage is believed
to have taken shape largely around the ancient site of the You state during the years of Tianbao in the Tang dynasty, which
is nowadays the eastern half of the Etuoke banner and Prior-Etuoke banner. The formation of the initial Maowusu Desert is
not attributed to the so-called over-cultivation from farming but to the long-time exceedingly quartered husbandry starting
from the 4th year of the Zhenguan to the years of Tianbao in the Tang dynasty, which resulted in the destruction of the ecology
of the natural grassland.

“The Central Kingdom” is pregnant of political implications as well as of geographical and cultural significance. It was believed
that whoever controlled Zhongguo (the Central Kingdom or China) would be the legitimate ruler over Tianxia (the realm under heaven or all under heaven). It was the contention for “the Central Kingdom” among the varieties of dynasties,
notably those established by the Han-Chinese and the various ethnic groups in the northern borderland, that lead to the alternation
of disintegration and unification of the territory. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that the unified “Central Kingdom” composed
of a variety of ethnic groups turned into the ideal “realm under heaven” with “the Central Kingdom” at its core, which naturally
put an end to the formation of territory in ancient China.

As the capital of the Sui and Tang dynasties, Chang’an brought together large numbers of high-ranking officials, aristocrats,
local residents, and sojourners. The promise of profits caused by the high demand for consumer goods attracted merchants.
Chang’an was also the starting point of the renowned Silk Road. For all these reasons, Chang’an became a gathering point for
Small and medium-scale merchants, rich merchants, ethnic-minority merchants, and foreign merchants. All these merchants engaged
in a wide variety of business activities and made money by surprisingly diverse means. Those with great economic power were
quite active politically. The activities of these merchants symbolize the unprecedented growth of commerce in Chang’an and
reveal the high level of development of urban trade in the Sui and the Tang dynasties.

The Song Dynasty is the most important period in Chinese history in terms of the establishment of a new type of clan system.
During the Song, Chinese social organization, at the grass-roots level, experienced a fundamental change. In the wake of the
late-Tang collapse of the local power system, it was necessary for the Song to replace the ancestral lineage structure and
develop a new system to adapt itself to the new circumstances brought on by drastic changes in its economy. Song Confucians
played a vital part in the changes. Not only did they gradually solve the theoretical problems of the new type of clan organization,
but they also developed many feasible and standard models. Eventually this model would gain even wider acceptance after the
Yuan Dynasty with the rise of Neo-Confucianism. Thus, ancestral halls, serving as the major centers for the new clan activities,
became prevalent among common people.

The cluster of technical terms that the Jesuit Matteo Ricci and his Chinese partners Xu Guangqi and Li Zhizao cotranslated
and introduced into Chinese in the late Ming dynasty was of significance for Chinas cultural transformation. For instance,
“brain” replaced “heart” as a specific term referring to the organ of consciousness and memory. The classical Chinese interrogative
numeral jihe was used to represent the core mathematical term “geometry”. Diqiu, meaning “the globe of the earth” in English, was minted to amend the traditional hemispherical dome cosmology. The identification
of “Cathay” with China clarified the ambiguity in the Western geographical concept of the Far East, which had existed since
the Middle Ages.

Studies of the organization of Maya pottery production have been pursued via numerous methods but without theoretical models.
I review available data on production of Late Classic southern lowland Maya polychrome pottery in light of my calendrically
based may model of geopolitical organization. I conclude that: (1) production arrangements vary by “kind” of pottery; (2) “craft specialization”
and “workshops” are inappropriate concepts; (3) study of polychrome production necessitates multiple approaches, including
analysis of decorative content; (4) better “bridging arguments” and “middle-range theory” are needed; (5) figural polychromes
were “inalienable” wealth goods; and (6) they were painted in palaces of primary and secondary centers—may and k'atun seats in the model—in realm-specific signature styles. 相似文献

During the fourth and third centuries B.C., both the ancient Greek and Chinese civilizations evolved into key periods of social
transformation. The Cynics and the School of Zhuangzi responded most acutely to these great social changes. Both of them denied
the legitimacy of the existing political systems, denounced the upper rulers and felt disappointed at the comprehensive reality
of societies, and were indifferent to fame and gain, and willing to live simply and smile at death. But compared with the
Zhuangzi School, the Cynics were more extreme and defiant. Viewed from both macro and micro perspectives, the differences
in civilizations, geographical conditions, and historical traditions determined the difference in behavior and attitudes of
the two schools in terms of their behavior in the world. Nevertheless, their similarities outweigh their differences because
of the similar development stages of their civilizations, similar socio-historical periods and similar social and living problems
confronted.

The discussion of the formation of patriarchal lineage system since the Song and Ming dynasties can be divided by the turn
of 1980s and 1990s. The earlier period research is rationalized by four theories under the perspective of feudal society:
the theory of village commune, the theory of lineage authority, the theory of patriarchal thought, and the theory of the restriction
of land relations. The theoretical breakthroughs of the latter focused on the lineage's popularization, “three changes” of
the kinship organization and the social vicissitude, the national identity, the lineage's community-compactization, and the
generalized analysis on the reason of patriarchal lineage's formation.

“New Woman” and “Modern Girl” discourse prevailed in China in the early twentieth century. The left-wing cinema of the 1930s
engaged in this discourse and created a filmic space in which to negotiate gender and modernity. Focusing on three films directed
by Sun Yu (1900–90): Wild Rose, Little Toys and The Highway, this paper compares Sun Yu’s new women with those in two other films: Lessons for Girls, a lesser known but interesting caricature of “new” women, and the New Woman, the best known of the “new woman” genre, both of which depict how urban, petty bourgeois women failed in their struggles
for independence. In sharp contrast, Sun Yu used poetic realism to create a series of refreshingly independent working class
women characters that successfully combined traditional moral values and modern patriotism and resisted the radical anti-traditionalism
of the new woman discourse. This paper offers a differentiated analysis of the diverse and complex ways in which China’s left-wing
cinema negotiated gender and modernity in the 1930s. 相似文献

Tracing the origin and circulation of the “jargon” spoken at Canton, the paper examines how “jargon” became an issue of Sino-foreign
communication conflicts in the early 19th century, and how Westerners responded to it. As a lingua franca spread extensively in the Canton trade, the so-called “jargon” (a pidgin form of patois) played an essential role as communication
tool between Chinese and foreign traders. However, in the eyes of missionaries in early 19th century China, the normal Sino-foreign contact process was interrupted and distorted by both parties’ overusing of the jargon.
In this regard, early Protestant missionaries’ support of Chinese language study reveals an initial effort to break through
the “jargon” barrier.
