Drawing from art history, history of science, and new materialisms in critical theory, historians are showing how an object’s materiality can inflect its production and circulation, how things provoke physical and affective responses in people, and how objects have a resulting power to act as agents in their own right.1 We must account for the animate and inanimate alike, then, in history, for both people and things are dynamic actors within mutually constituted networks.2 Learning to work with both textual and material sources thus pays scholarly dividends; it reveals the tacit limits of conventional, textual archives. Inspired by this outlook, Luxurious Networks: Salt Merchants, Status, and Statecraft in Eighteenth-Century China uncovers the “hidden history” (p. 3) that luxury objects in particular tell about Huizhou salt merchants in the high Qing period; it is a focused and illuminating analysis of the social roles and connections forged by the men who collected, exchanged, or otherwise interacted with luxury objects. Qing scholars often wrote of merchants as social inferiors, and modern his-","PeriodicalId":29948,"journal":{"name":"HARVARD JOURNAL OF ASIATIC STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/jas.2020.0021","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41439461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tang Xianzu's (1550–1616) \"The Woman Would Have Excess Cloth\" is one such essay. I argue that this essay goes well beyond the original passage of the Mengzi from which the topic was drawn: it proposes that the ability to exchange one's excess production on the market is appropriate motivation for an individual to continue to produce. Beginning from the specific case of the woman whose weaving exceeds the needs of her own household, Tang alludes as well to the written work engaged in by literati, framing the sale of cloth and the exchange of letters and prefaces as ethical means of sustaining the motivation on which social discipline is grounded.摘要:明清時期的科舉考生常遇到立意狹窄的 \"小題\" 題目，迫使他們翻空出奇。湯顯祖的 \"女有餘布\" 即為一例。此文超出了孟子原文的本意，展開一種經濟與道德並行的新分析。為避免盈餘對生產動機的負面影響，湯提倡文人、織女均可以售物而介入市場交換，以達致修身齊家的境界。","PeriodicalId":29948,"journal":{"name":"HARVARD JOURNAL OF ASIATIC STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/JAS.2020.0004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43261881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet the divided portrait of Jien refracted by different academic disciplines obscures Jien's life and motivations. Using materials written by and about him, I examine Jien's rise to prominence, his connection to the power centers of his day, his role as a spiritual authority, his investiture of land and positions to his disciples, and his often-ignored role as a prophetic visionary to paint a more holistic picture of his life. I argue that Jien held a consistent spiritually infused worldview most visible during a confrontation with his former sovereign, Retired Emperor Gotoba, on the eve of the Jōkyū War (1221). I argue we can only understand that confrontation by reconciling his political interests and his religious faith.摘要:摘要：宗教者でもあり政治家でもあった鎌倉時代の僧慈円 (1155–1225) は、政権中枢部にあった親類の後援により天台座主に就任した。二心を抱いたという批判をしばしば浴びたが、慈円の生涯と思想の検討をとおして、その信仰と政治思想が一貫したと論じる。","PeriodicalId":29948,"journal":{"name":"HARVARD JOURNAL OF ASIATIC STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/jas.2020.0000","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46999857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chinese cultural memory of Jing Ke, long contested, shifted in the twentieth century, making him into a Republican and national hero, eventually symbolizing resistance against Japan. Thus, these poems, especially considering their Japanese readership, show that although cultural memory can be evoked as a legitimizing discourse to serve political needs, its plasticity gives it versatility. Wang's own iconography as assassin, central in constructing the legitimacy of his regime, was a floating symbol that assumed varying meanings in different contexts. It simultaneously justified collaboration, assuming that Japan's pan-Asianism would usher in a new unified Qin empire, and also resistance, assuming Wang Jingwei's perceived readiness to make a personal sacrifice to save the nation.摘要:本文圍繞 1942 年初南京汪政權的菁英文人間的《易水送別圖》唱酬，通過荊軻歷史形象的變遷，探討文化記憶的可塑性如何使其在多種語境下獲得多重意義。它也是一個漂浮的符號，同時肯定抵抗與合作的合法性。","PeriodicalId":29948,"journal":{"name":"HARVARD JOURNAL OF ASIATIC STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/jas.2020.0003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45559725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both individuals and the Ming state had specific goals in mind, but both were realistic about their ability to achieve their oftencountervailing goals within the framework of the relatively light formal institutional structure of the imperial bureaucratic system. As Szonyi notes, one of the tragedies of modern China is the wholesale denigration of this system as feudal and backward without recognizing its inherent flexibility and adaptability. The move to utterly dismantle the imperial bureaucratic system in the twentieth century led to tremendous bloodshed and social and economic upheaval, as its ills were emphasized and magnified to suit the centralizing goals of a new imperializing state. This book fits squarely within the corpus of recent English-language scholarship, emphasizing both the flexibility and the continuity of the imperial state and its informal institutions, such as kinship groups and merchant networks, to name just a couple. While one would appreciate a bit more attention toward the dynamism of the military system and its place in Ming society, this book fills an important gap in the English-language scholarship on the social significance of the hereditary Ming military system. It will be essential reading for historians of late imperial China and should be of interest to those more generally interested in early modern social and institutional history.","PeriodicalId":29948,"journal":{"name":"HARVARD JOURNAL OF ASIATIC STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/jas.2020.0020","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48884681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
