‎Levine, Ari Daniel‎

‎Divided by a Common Language: Factional Conflict in Late Northern Song China‎

‎8vo, hardcover in dj. Divided by a Common Language is the first English-language study to approach the political history of the late Northern Song in its entirety and the first to engage the issue of factionalism in Song political culture. Ari Daniel Levine explores the complex intersection of Chinese political, cultural, and intellectual history by examining the language that ministers and monarchs used to articulate conceptions of political authority. Despite their rancorous disputes over state policy, factionalists shared a common repertoire of political discourses and practices, which they used to promote their comrades and purge their adversaries. Conceiving of factions in similar ways, ministers sought monarchical approval of their schemes, employing rhetoric that imagined the imperial court as the ultimate source of ethical and political authority.Factionalists used the same polarizing rhetoric to vilify their opponents - who rejected their exclusive claims to authority as well as their ideological programme - as treacherous and disloyal. They pressured emperors and regents to identify the malign factions that were spreading at court and expel them from the metropolitan bureaucracy before they undermined the dynastic polity. By analyzing theoretical essays, court memorials, and political debates from the period, Levine interrogates the intellectual assumptions and linguistic limitations that prevented Northern Song politicians from defending or even acknowledging the existence of factions. From the Northern Song to the Ming and Qing dynasties, this dominant discourse of authority continued to restrain members of China's sociopolitical elite from articulating interests that acted independently from, or in opposition to, the dynastic eply grounded in both primary and secondary sources, Levine's study is important for the clarity and fluidity with which it presents a critical period in the development of Chinese imperial history and government.‎

‎LEWIS MARK EDWARD‎

‎China Between Empires: The Northern And Southern Dynasties‎

‎Belknap Press Cambridge: 2011. Softcover. Brand new book. After the collapse of the Han dynasty in the third century CE China divided along a north-south line. Mark Edward Lewis traces the changes that both underlay and resulted from this split in a period that saw the geographic redefinition of China more engagement with the outside world significant changes to family life developments in the literary and social arenas and the introduction of new religions. The Yangzi River valley arose as the rice-producing center of the country. Literature moved beyond the court and capital to depict local culture and newly emerging social spaces included the garden temple salon and country villa. The growth of self-defined genteel families expanded the notion of the elite moving it away from the traditional great Han families identified mostly by material wealth. Trailing the rebel movements that toppled the Han the new faiths of Daoism and Buddhism altered every aspect of life including the state kinship structures and the economy. By the time China was reunited by the Sui dynasty in 589 CE the elite had been drawn into the state order and imperial power had assumed a more transcendent nature. The Chinese were incorporated into a new world system in which they exchanged goods and ideas with states that shared a common Buddhist religion. The centuries between the Han and the Tang thus had a profound and permanent impact on the Chinese world. 25 halftones 16 maps. Mark Edward Lewis is Kwoh-Ting Li Professor in Chinese Culture at Stanford University. "This series on China brilliantly overseen by Timothy Brook is a credit to Harvard University Press. Above all it encourages us to think of China in different ways."�Jonathan Mirsky Literary Review "The book is wide-ranging in scope and interspersed with interesting ideas."�V.C. Xiong Choice "An original useful and very timely book China between Empires is arguably the first single-volume comprehensive treatment for general readers of Chinese history between AD 220 and 589. Lewis writes clearly and with conviction and marshals an impressive array of evidence�historical religious technological literary and archaeological. It is a remarkable achievement especially considering the extreme complexity of the period."�Lothar von Falkenhausen University of California Los Angeles Belknap Press, Cambridge: 2011 paperback‎

‎LEWIS MARK EDWARD‎

‎The Early Chinese Empires: Qin And Han‎

‎Belknap Press Cambridge: 2010. Softcover. Brand new book. In 221 BC the First Emperor of Qin unified the lands that would become the heart of a Chinese empire. Though forged by conquest this vast domain depended for its political survival on a fundamental reshaping of Chinese culture. With this informative book we are present at the creation of an ancient imperial order whose major features would endure for two millennia. The Qin and Han constitute the "classical period" of Chinese history�a role played by the Greeks and Romans in the West. Mark Edward Lewis highlights the key challenges faced by the court officials and scholars who set about governing an empire of such scale and diversity of peoples. He traces the drastic measures taken to transcend without eliminating these regional differences: the invention of the emperor as the divine embodiment of the state; the establishment of a common script for communication and a state-sponsored canon for the propagation of Confucian ideals; the flourishing of the great families whose domination of local society rested on wealth landholding and elaborate kinship structures; the demilitarization of the interior; and the impact of non-Chinese warrior-nomads in setting the boundaries of an emerging Chinese identity. The first of a six-volume series on the history of imperial China The Early Chinese Empires illuminates many formative events in China's long history of imperialism�events whose residual influence can still be discerned today. Mark Edward Lewis is Kwoh-Ting Li Professor in Chinese Culture at Stanford University. "This series on China brilliantly overseen by Timothy Brook is a credit to Harvard University Press. Above all it encourages us to think of China in different ways."�Jonathan Mirsky Literary Review "Inaugurating a six-volume series on the history of imperial China this volume holds that characteristics of the first Chinese empire broadly endured for the succeeding 2000 years� Those planning to acquire the entire series mustn't omit Lewis's solid foundation."�Gilbert Taylor Booklist "Early Chinese Empires is a brilliant example of nuanced responsible popularization. As the first in a series of six volumes that will cover all of Imperial China it sets a very high standard."�Grant Hardy The Historian "The standard multivolume history of China has long been the magisterial exhaustive Cambridge History of China. Now Harvard University Press has announced a six-volume series that will cover the rise development and decline of dynastic China from the second century B.C.E. through the early 20th century in an up-to-date compact and approachable way. This opening volume by Lewis foretells that the series will become the new gold standard as the author explains in clear and telling detail how the Qin dynasty ruthlessly defeated a succession of rivals to unify briefly what we now call China in 221 B.C.E. We then see how the succeeding Han dynasty 206 B.C.E.-220 C.E. combined social engineering and political savvy to institutionalize control and form a 'classical' era parallel to the Greeks and Romans in the West. Han imperial structures including religion literature and law were quite different from what evolved out of them but Lewis convincingly argues that later societies cannot be understood without understanding this classical foundation."�Charles W. Hayford Library Journal starred review "Mark Lewis's mind-opening and readable book reminds us of the enduring but changing realities of China."�Jonathan Mirsky The Times Literary Supplement "As the first volume in the History of Imperial China The Early Chinese Empires sets an authoritative reliable tone that bodes well for this important new series. The book meets a high standard of historical accuracy and covers an impressively broad range of topics. Accessible to a wide audience it will appeal to anyone interested in the foundations of the Chinese imperial tradition."�Victor H. Mair University of Pennsylvania Belknap Press, Cambridge: 2010 paperback‎

‎Writing and Authority in Early China (SUNY Series in Chinese Philosophy and Culture)‎

‎8vo, br. ed. This book traces the evolving uses of writing to command assent and obedience in early China, an evolution that culminated in the establishment of a textual canon as the foundation of imperial authority. Its central theme is the emergence of this body of writings as the textual double of the state, and of the text-based sage as the double of the ruler. The book examines the full range of writings employed in early China, such as divinatory records, written communications with ancestors, government documents, the collective writings of philosophical and textual traditions, speeches attributed to historical figures, chronicles, verse anthologies, commentaries, and encyclopedic compendia. Lewis shows how these writings served to administer populations, control officials, form new social groups, invent new models of authority, and create an artificial language whose mastery generated power and whose graphs became potent objects. Writing and Authority in Early China traces the enterprise of creating a parallel reality within texts that depicted the entire world. These texts provided models for the invention of a world empire, and one version ultimately became the first state canon of imperial China. This canon served to perpetuate the dream and the reality of the imperial system across the centuries. About the Author: Mark Edward Lewis is University Lecturer in Chinese Studies at the University of Cambridge. He is the author of Sanctioned Violence in Early China, also published by SUNY Press.‎
