KUHN DIETER
The Age Of Confucian Rule: The Song Transformation Of China
Belknap Press Cambridge: 2009. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Just over a thousand years ago the Song dynasty emerged as the most advanced civilization on earth. Within two centuries China was home to nearly half of all humankind. In this concise history we learn why the inventiveness of this era has been favorably compared with the European Renaissance which in many ways the Song transformation surpassed. With the chaotic dissolution of the Tang dynasty the old aristocratic families vanished. A new class of scholar-officials�products of a meritocratic examination system�took up the task of reshaping Chinese tradition by adapting the precepts of Confucianism to a rapidly changing world. Through fiscal reforms these elites liberalized the economy eased the tax burden and put paper money into circulation. Their redesigned capitals buzzed with traders while the education system offered advancement to talented men of modest means. Their rationalist approach led to inventions in printing shipbuilding weaving ceramics manufacture mining and agriculture. With a realist's eye they studied the natural world and applied their observations in art and science. And with the souls of diplomats they chose peace over war with the aggressors on their borders. Yet persistent military threats from these nomadic tribes�which the Chinese scorned as their cultural inferiors�redefined China's understanding of its place in the world and solidified a sense of what it meant to be Chinese. The Age of Confucian Rule is an essential introduction to this transformative era. "A scholar should congratulate himself that he has been born in such a time" Zhao Ruyu 1194. 23 halftones 10 maps. Dieter Kuhn is Professor and Chair of Chinese Studies University of W�rzburg. One hopes Kuhn's work will find a larger audience for he has much to teach to general readers world historians and China specialists alike."�Mark Halperin American Historical Review "The first four chapters of this well-researched clearly written book present a balanced synopsis of the political institutional and military history of Song and its neighbors during some three centuries when this was 'the most advanced civilization on earth.' The remaining eight chapters deal with thought life cycle rituals poetry and painting education and the examination system dynastic capitals the world of production money and taxation private lives and the public sphere. The author's enthusiasm is matched by his erudition and outstanding expertise in Song material culture as he ranges widely from the plethora of goods for sale in bustling shops and markets to the origins of foot binding and finds space for dental hygiene as well as tomb construction� Scholars already versed in the period can learn much from this book while those just beginning to delve into Chinese history are very well served."�C. Schirokauer Choice "The Age of Confucian Rule is a book that everyone who teaches Chinese history should have on his or her shelf and consult frequently� The attention Kuhn gives material culture is refreshing and helps him to make his case for the importance of China in Song times."�Patricia Ebrey International Journal of Asian Studies "An admirable account of the Song dynasty� 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 "One of the leading historians of the Song period offers an empirically rich and well-informed book that is especially good on material culture and the history of technology. Kuhn offers strong overviews of the transformation of the capital cities education and examination commerce and the Song fiscal system as well as lively discussions of religious beliefs the study of natural phenomena and private life in the public sphere. For readers who want an in-depth look at mid-imperial Chinese history and culture Dieter Kuhn's Age of Confucian Rule promises to become the book of choice."�Paul Jakov Smith Haverford College Belknap Press, Cambridge: 2009 hardcover

Kuhn Philip A.
Soul Stealers the Chinese Sorcery Scare of 1768
8vo, br. ed. Midway through the reign of the Ch'ien-lung emperor, Hungli, in the most prosperous period of China's last imperial dynasty, mass hysteria broke out among the common people. It was feared that sorcerers were roaming the land, clipping off the ends of men's queues (the braids worn by royal decree), and chanting magical incantations over them in order to steal the souls of their owners. In a fascinating chronicle of this epidemic of fear and the official prosecution of soulstealers that ensued, Philip Kuhn provides an intimate glimpse into the world of eighteenth-century China. Kuhn weaves his exploration of the sorcery cases with a survey of the social and economic history of the era. Drawing on a rich repository of documents found in the imperial archives, he presents in detail the harrowing interrogations of the accused--a ragtag assortment of vagabonds, beggars, and roving clergy--conducted under torture by provincial magistrates. In tracing the panic's spread from peasant hut to imperial court, Kuhn unmasks the political menace lurking behind the queue-clipping scare as well as the complex of folk beliefs that lay beneath popular fears of sorcery. Kuhn shows how the campaign against sorcery provides insight into the period's social structure and ethnic tensions, the relationship between monarch and bureaucrat, and the inner workings of the state. Whatever its intended purposes, the author argues, the campaign offered Hungli a splendid chance to force his provincial chiefs to crack down on local officials, to reinforce his personal supremacy over top bureaucrats, and to restate the norms of official behavior. This wide-ranging narrative depicts life in imperial China as it was actually lived, often in the participants' own words. Soulstealers offers a compelling portrait of the Chinese people--from peasant to emperor--and of the human condition. About the Author: Philip A. Kuhn is Francis Lee Higginson Professor of History and of East Asian Languages and Civilizations, Harvard University.
