Early Medieval China (220–589) furnishes two useful sources that shed light on this subject: one is the painted bricks excavated from 3rd- to 5th-c. tombs in the Hexi Corridor, which depict many domestic animals; the other is the sixth fascicle of Jia Sixie’s Qimin yaoshu, which is devoted to advice on stockbreeding. The Hexi pictorial bricks indicate that stockbreeding was an important component of the economy of northwest China. The animals raised there included horses, donkeys, cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, and camels. The most important animals were horses, cattle, and sheep. The Qimin yaoshu chapter’s sections on raising sheep, chickens, pigs, ducks, and geese are filled with practical advice on how to shelter, feed, and protect them. In contrast, the longest section, which is on horses, primarily focuses on their physiognomy and treatments for illnesses, and has little practical information about how to breed them. This is because Chinese magnates probably bought rather than raised their horses. The next longest section is on sheep and goats. Unlike horses, goats and sheep generated income.","PeriodicalId":41624,"journal":{"name":"Early Medieval China","volume":"2019 1","pages":"85 - 99"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15299104.2019.1660090","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42256810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vessels of this type are generally interpreted as representations of the mythical islands of xian-immortals, while their origins and employment are frequently brought into connection with Han cults of immortality. However, this line of scholarship, to a great extant inherited from the Song antiquarians, largely obscures the multiplicity of meanings the vessel possessed in various contexts of elite life. After surveying archaeological, textual, and visual sources on the boshanlu and outlining multiple contexts in which incense burners were used and their potential functions, the paper focuses on poems on the incense burner composed during the late Han and the Six Dynasties. There the incense burner is connected with the themes of feasting, forsaken women, or with the frustrated ambitions of an honest official—themes that are removed from the religious symbolism scholars have discerned in the material object. The paper examines this discrepancy, and explores the ways metaphoric meanings are engendered in these poems.","PeriodicalId":41624,"journal":{"name":"Early Medieval China","volume":"2018 1","pages":"53 - 81"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15299104.2018.1493827","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41396743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During three centuries, several kingdoms and short-lived dynasties were established and destroyed, either by military conquest or by court intrigues and coups. In this context, many political thinkers of the time looked back to the long rule of the Han as a time of peace and prosperity, and argued that it was the institutions of centralized governance that propped the dynasty’s long-lasting reign. Against this view, a handful of thinkers claimed that the Zhou-style system of investiture offered several advantages to secure the permanence of the ruling house and improve the governance of the realm. Among them, the Wei dynasty thinker Cao Jiong argued that the Zhou system was superior to centralized rule both in moral and military terms, while the Jin dynasty scholar Lu Ji discussed the benefits and problems of relying mostly on kin for controlling the realm. By identifying the key ideas in these writings in relation to the historical context of the early medieval period in China, I will challenge the longstanding assumption that post-Han thinkers advocated for the institutions of centralized administration over those of decentralized governance.","PeriodicalId":41624,"journal":{"name":"Early Medieval China","volume":"2018 1","pages":"107 - 82"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15299104.2018.1493828","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44234228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the ensuing turmoil, a cluster of regional polities emerged in north China, among which the Former Liang kingdom (301–376) ruled by the Zhang family provides an intriguing case of study. The rulers of this northwestern frontier state made use of the Jin official titles they held to project the image of being Jin loyalists as a means to amass support from former Jin subjects. At the same time, the Zhangs capitalized on the long distance between them and the Jin imperial court-in-exile in the lower Yangzi region, and the centrifugal political trends to create a fait accompli on their own terms of maintaining their dynastic rule in the northwest. To pursue its own survival, the Former Liang compromised with the so-called barbarian states, which were the instigators of toppling the Western Jin state. The political legitimacy and diplomatic stance of this frontier regime thus oscillated between imperial loyalism and regionalism. Analyzing how the Former Liang played such a complex game and sought regional advantage under the guise of imperial loyalty, this paper provides a case study of the strategy of “layered legitimacy” employed by a peripheral regime in early medieval China.","PeriodicalId":41624,"journal":{"name":"Early Medieval China","volume":"2018 1","pages":"108 - 130"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15299104.2018.1493829","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48515545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
