Leung Vincent S.
The Politics of the Past in Early China
8vo, br. ed. Why did the past matter so greatly in ancient China? How did it matter and to whom? This is an innovative study of how the past was implicated in the long transition of power in early China, as embodied by the decline of the late Bronze Age aristocracy and the rise of empires over the first millenium BCE. Engaging with a wide array of historical materials, including inscriptional records, excavated manuscripts, and transmitted texts, Vincent S. Leung moves beyond the historiographical canon and explores how the past was mobilized as powerful ideological capital in diverse political debate and ethical dialogue. Appeals to the past in early China were more than a matter of cultural attitude, Leung argues, but were rather deliberate ways of articulating political thought and challenging ethical debates during periods of crisis. Significant power lies in the retelling of the past.

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
China's Cosmopolitan Empire: The Tang Dynasty
Belknap Press Cambridge: 2012. Softcover. Brand new book. The Tang dynasty is often called China's "golden age" a period of commercial religious and cultural connections from Korea and Japan to the Persian Gulf and a time of unsurpassed literary creativity. Mark Edward Lewis captures a dynamic era in which the empire reached its greatest geographical extent under Chinese rule painting and ceramic arts flourished women played a major role both as rulers and in the economy and China produced its finest lyric poets in Wang Wei Li Bo and Du Fu. The Chinese engaged in extensive trade on sea and land. Merchants from Inner Asia settled in the capital while Chinese entrepreneurs set off for the wider world the beginning of a global diaspora. The emergence of an economically and culturally dominant south that was controlled from a northern capital set a pattern for the rest of Chinese imperial history. Poems celebrated the glories of the capital meditated on individual loneliness in its midst and described heroic young men and beautiful women who filled city streets and bars. Despite the romantic aura attached to the Tang it was not a time of unending peace. In 756 General An Lushan led a revolt that shook the country to its core weakening the government to such a degree that by the early tenth century regional warlordism gripped many areas heralding the decline of the Great Tang. 24 illustrations 17 maps. Mark Edward Lewis is Kwoh-Ting Li Professor in Chinese Culture at Stanford University. "In China's Cosmopolitan Empire: The Tang Dynasty Mark Edward Lewis has done a superb job of synthesizing the scholarship on the Tang Dynasty 618-907 and rendering it into a readable account. Professor Lewis's general narrative of Tang history chapters two and three of the book is the best overview of Tang history in any language and would be a good starting point for anyone interested in the dynasty� There is a large corpus of scholarship in English on Tang dynasty history and culture. China's Cosmopolitan Empire is an admirable addition to that corpus. It will undoubtedly become the standard survey in English for the foreseeable future."�Peter Lorge Journal of Military History "Lewis' book will be of great interest and utility to general readers as well as students who are looking for a lucid overview of Tang history and culture."�Michael R. Drompp Journal of Asian History "Mark Edward Lewis has produced an impressive volume on the history of the Tang dynasty� Its greatest contribution is its integration of the latest secondary scholarship into interesting arguments about the evolution of Chinese society between the seventh and tenth centuries� This book remains an excellent place to see the latest insights into Tang history. It is a thought-provoking effort to synthesize that work and reflect on the significance of the Tang for China's history. If it inspires the next generation of students to pursue Tang history seriously Lewis will have made a real contribution to Tang studies."�Anthony DeBlasi Journal of Asian Studies "With clarity and rich details sustained by quotes anecdotes poems and visual images Lewis brings to life the vitality of a transforming China in geography politics urban life rural society the outer world kinship religion and writing all in comparison with previous times� Lewis's nuanced details of a changing Tang are direct challenges to the dated but still influential views of China as an unchanging Sinocentric empire uninterested in commerce and foreign contact."�Yihong Pan China Review International "A readable introduction to the Tang Dynasty."�J.K. Skaff Choice "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 "This is an impressive survey history of the Tang dynasty concise and accessible. China's Cosmopolitan Empire is written so succinctly and clearly that it provides to my knowledge the best summary of the Tang period yet available in English. It will make an excellent source for the general student of Chinese or East Asian history."�David L. McMullen University of Cambridge Belknap Press, Cambridge: 2012 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

Lewis Mark Edward
The Flood Myths of Early China
8vo, br. ed. Early Chinese ideas about the construction of an ordered human space received narrative form in a set of stories dealing with the rescue of the world and its inhabitants from a universal flood. This book demonstrates how early Chinese stories of the re-creation of the world from a watery chaos provided principles underlying such fundamental units as the state, lineage, the married couple, and even the human body. These myths also supplied a charter for the major political and social institutions of Warring States (481–221 BC) and early imperial (220 BC–AD 220) China. In some versions of the tales, the flood was triggered by rebellion, while other versions linked the taming of the flood with the creation of the institution of a lineage, and still others linked the taming to the process in which the divided principles of the masculine and the feminine were joined in the married couple to produce an ordered household. While availing themselves of earlier stories and of central religious rituals of the period, these myths transformed earlier divinities or animal spirits into rulers or ministers and provided both etiologies and legitimation for the emerging political and social institutions that culminated in the creation of a unitary empire.

Lewis Mark Edward
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.

LI HUAIYIN
Village China Under Socialism And Reform: A Micro-history 1948-2008
Stanford University Press Stanford: 2009. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Village China Under Socialism and Reform offers a comprehensive account of rural life after the communist revolution detailing villager involvement in political campaigns since the 1950s agricultural production under the collective system family farming and non-agricultural economy in the reform and everyday life in the family and community. Li's rich examination draws on original documents from local agricultural collectives newly accessible government archives and his own fieldwork in Qin village of Jiangsu province to highlight the continuities in rural transformation. Firmly disagreeing with those who claim that recent developments in rural China represent a radical break with pre-reform sociopolitical practices and patterns of production Li instead draws a clear history connecting the current situation to ecological social and institutional changes that have persisted from the collective era. "The book is the product of impeccable scholarship a combination of rigorous archival research and extensive fieldwork. Huaiyin Li's firsthand knowledge and personal connections have enabled him to probe a village community's 'informal and often invisible structures' and he has persuasively demonstrated the critical role that those 'subinstitutions' have played in determining the direction of Party-peasant relations in Qin village a microcosm of village China during the PRC's first 60 years."�Pauline Keating The China Journal "Huaiyin Li provides a comprehensive and systematic study of rural life after the founding of PRC . the book is refreshing in its theoretical perspective compelling in its arguments and meticulous in the extensive details it presents of peasants' lives and production in rural China."�Jin Di China Quarterly "Based upon extensive use of rare local documentation as well as the author's intimate familiarity with his own local community this well-crafted analysis of rural evolutionary transformation in east-central China deserves a wide reading."�CHOICE "Drawing on intensive fieldwork in his native village Huaiyin Li's book is the first to reconstruct and analyze the grassroots political economy of a Chinese village in the Maoist and post-Mao periods. Well written and insightful it illuminates what Chinese farmers have faced in their daily lives." �Jonathan Unger Director Contemporary China Center Australian National University "Throughout the book Li skillfully interweaves contextual information and quantitative data recovered from documents rarely explored by students of contemporary China. this is a well designed and admirably executed work that sets a new standard for the study of the political economy of rural China. Readers will find it informative and inspiring."�Journal of Chinese Political Science Huaiyin Li teaches modern Chinese history at the University of Texas at Austin. He is also the author of Village Governance in North China 1875-1936 Stanford 2005. Stanford University Press, Stanford: 2009 hardcover
