明初，由于存在大量合法却不可核算、储存的劳役征调，故在集权架构之下，法定财政管理呈现出分散运作的特点，法定与法外征调界线模糊。随着白银成为财政运作的主要手段，不可核算的征调变得可以核算，州县官府形成了不为上级掌握的财赋储备和收支信息。法定财政核算信息在州县与上级官府间出现不对称。16 世纪前期抚按等因应于省级财政职责增强的现实，编制覆盖全省、带有固定化倾向的财政计划( 赋役经制册籍，后定型为赋役全书)... more

Mt. Qixia is a renowned historical site in Nanjing, and its changing landscape and shifting cultural connotations from the early sixteenth through the late nineteenth centuries deserve closer examination. Although half ruined during the middle of the Ming period, Mt. Qixia was chosen by literati as a proper place for hermitage, and thus became literary subject of remembrance. Later, due to Sheng Shitai’s exploration of the landscape’s rich historical and cultural resources, the cultural connotations of Mt. Qixia became increasingly rich with the popularity of literati tourism and the revival of Buddhism there. In the early Qing, the historical site was favored by Ming loyalists as a site to mourn the fallen dynasty, and this sentiment became another cultural element marking Mt. Qixia. Its culture, however, was later greatly reconstructed when the historical site was chosen as a temporary imperial palace during the Qianlong Emperor’s southern tours. The imperial political power thus reshaped the geographical layout, cultural elements, and historical memories of the landscape. As literati and Buddhist culture faded, and the emotional attachment to the Mingdiminished, the Qing imperial power was highlighted when Yin Jishan and Emperor Qianlong reconstructed the culture of the landscape. The multi- layered landscape culture demonstrates different cultural characteristics of the site at different historical stages, and the transforming process was closely related to the urban culture of Nanjing during the Ming-Qing period.
棲霞山是南京地區著名的文化景觀。從明中葉至清中期,該地的勝景形態及文化意義經歷了多番嬗變。明中期的棲霞山相當破敗,卻意外成為詠古的素材,更被文人選為隱居佳處。嘉靖以來,先因盛時泰致力於開發景觀的歷史資源,後由於文人旅遊文化的盛行,名山佛教勢力的復興,棲霞山的景觀內涵愈發立體而豐富。及至清初,遺民文化成為景觀文化的新鮮組成部分。而乾隆南巡帶來的政治力介入,使得清中期以後的景觀文化意涵為之大變。因為被選作南巡行宮,棲霞景觀的空間格局、文化元素和歷史記憶皆得到重新配置。景觀承載之遺民情結漸次褪淡,文人、佛教文化內涵遭到貶抑,帝國霸權象徵意義則愈加鮮明。棲霞景觀文化在不同歷史階段呈現出不同面貌,這與明清南京城市地位之升沉、歷史發展之特質緊密相關。

傳為明仇英的〈乞巧圖〉，全卷以白描手法繪成，描寫了七夕時節，宮中嬪妃各種祭拜、乞巧活動，畫卷充滿各種細節，有其細膩講究之處。長卷描繪的盡是宮中女眷的活動，亦不難看出其追摹仇英（約1494-1552）〈漢宮春曉〉的用意，然而本畫傳為仇英之作，在畫風上是否真與仇英有關？或是另有來源？甚若進一步探究畫作的構成，亦可發現本畫如同其他的蘇州片，也對古畫進行了挪用與重組。透過剖析〈乞巧圖〉製作的同時，也鋪陳出晚明以來大量且多樣的美人畫製作脈絡。

程智（1603-1651）身為一位處於明清之際的易學思想家，出身於安徽休寧典當商人的家庭。他的生平一方面反映了「典商多為休寧人」的地域特色，同時也展現出明清之際思想層面上的多元性。程智的思想與傳統儒家思想有別，他的學說以「易學」為基礎，並使用數字與圖式，形成一套極為特別的世界觀。因此就明清思想史而言，程智的學術思想是在中國儒學思想傳統的主流中，一道潛藏的伏流。本次導讀一方面將透過程氏與師友門人間的多方面互動，來瞭解儒學如何在明清之際的江南一帶進行實踐。另一方面，也將觀察身處明... more

period to the modern edition. I have every intention of making this chapter prescribed reading for my students. This then brings me to the second aim; namely, whether the translation will be " useful. " Utility is a slippery concept, but I have no doubt that this translation will be used widely and for a long time. It is clear and dynamic without coming across as overly technical or dense. There is a great sense of " dynamic equivalence, " and the retention of technical legal terms in Latin in brackets makes for a very enjoyable read. The text and translation appear on facing pages, and the font is clear and legible. The inclusion of a list of technical Roman-law terms at the end of the third volume also adds another dimension of utility to the translation. I was particularly impressed by the decisions concerning the apparatus criticus and the notes occurring in the original Blume translation. They add a nice touch to the project without leaving the reader with a sense of despair. Regarding my final point; namely, whether the translation will have an impact on various academic fields, I have no doubt that this translation will open up a new world to those not yet familiar with the Codex. It is a vivid text full of life and can be used across many disciplines to show, for example, how Imperial law operated and what the concerns of the Imperial administration were across a span of a number of centuries when the fortunes of the Empire waxed and waned. Of course, no work is above criticism, and, therefore, I offer one small point of critique: the price. Although the volumes are substantial, the price tag places the set out of the price range of most readers. One would hope that the press will invest in a more affordable paperback or online version. This translation certainly deserves to be read as widely as possible. To all three questions posed at the start of this review, the answer is a resounding yes. Bruce Frier and his team of translators (familiar names for anyone working on Roman law in the Anglophone world) are to be thoroughly congratulated for their excellent efforts. My prediction is that this translation will become even more celebrated than the Watson translation of the Digest. Now, if only they would turn their translation efforts next to the Basilika.. .

This dissertation attempts to explain how Chinese officials, physicians, and ordinary families construed and handled mad speech, crazy behavior, and insane people from roughly 1000 CE to the end of the Qing dynasty (1644-1911). I treat “madness” not as an entity, but as an ascribed characteristic of people, acts, and words.

Part 1 analyzes how physicians from Song (960-1279) to Qing explained and treated kuang or diankuang (“mania,” “insanity”), a chiefly behavioral illness. Far from splitting mind from body, most doctors assumed that psycho-behavioral pathology supervened upon organic imbalances; they thus treated mad patients with drugs designed to correct these imbalances. As I trace how doctors came to attribute insanity to the action of inner Fire and mucus (instead of invasion by Wind or demons), I explore several key issues in Chinese medical history: what doctrinal innovations Jin-Yuan physicians (1115-1368) proposed, why the most sophisticated Ming (1368-1644) medical writers were syncretists (zhezhong), why the “Danxi corpus”––a body of works attributed to Zhu Zhenheng (1282-1358)––dominated Ming medical thinking, and how profoundly intertextual the Chinese medical tradition was. I also study how doctors interpreted possession symptoms and postpartum insanity.

Part 2 examines Qing judicial and popular practices surrounding “madness.” Legal fengbing (“madness illness”) and medical kuang functioned differently because they emerged from (and were deployed within) fields of practices whose categories and concerns differed. The way legal officials handled mad acts was shaped by specific institutional concerns and procedures. In the 1660s, the new crime “killing because of madness” likened mad homicides to accidental killings. Because this crime was not punished physically, legislators soon ordered that mad people be preventively confined. Although the script by which Qing law understood mad killings hardly changed, mad homicides were sentenced increasingly severely starting in the 1750s, especially when victims were senior relatives. Yet few mad killers were executed. By contrast, ostensibly mad men whose written fantasies harnessed imperial symbols were often sentenced to death for subversion. This fear that “mad words” could threaten the symbolic fabric of the eighteenth-century Qing state sheds new light on the old topic of “literary trials” (wenziyu).

作为明清笑话书的代表作之一，清代笑话书《笑林广记》号称大成之作。因为其内容五花八门、无所不包，并且它包含着不同作者，甚至不同时代的笑话，所以我们可视之为中国各个朝代的笑话集的顶点。在最近几年学术界对幽默研究表示了前所未有的关注的背景下，本文试图按照若干西方文论而对《笑林广记》进行新颖的分析、解读。基于这种比较研究，本文的意图是将这部笑话书放置到比较文学的视野下，在某种程度上可以说，本文拟让《笑林广记》进入到比较文学学界。
第一章分析这部作品里的最突出、最显著的特点，即其可笑性。本文首先对“笑”字进行了初步的分析，展示出公开的笑、失笑以及一方之笑三个宏观范畴的不同作用。接下来，按照西方的优越理论、不协调理论以及释放理论而解释、分析《笑林广记》的可笑特点。
在第二章里我着重于笑话里的幽默特点。最初，本章力图展现出幽默与可笑的不同之所在，以便证明此两者是不一样的概念，含有不同的特点。之后，基于西方文学批评家对幽默的界定，我分析笑话里的幽默，为的是解释可笑之余的可悲以及可悲之余的可笑。在这一章里，我涉及到了幽默的三个主要组成部分，便是语言、人物、接受者。最后，我试图解释笑话的人物和情况所导致的异化效果。
第三章所关注的是讽刺。首先我简短地解释讽刺作品在中国和在西方的特点、它的起源以及发展；接着，以讽刺诗为主，我介绍《笑林广记》里的讽刺特点，并且分析这种文风的二元论，即“温和讽刺”与“辛酸讽刺”、“直接”与“间接”、“写实”与“夸张”之间的关系和张力。最后，我简短地介绍《笑林广记》若隐若现指出的社会问题。即便这部作品是在清代成书的，但是它所指出的不少问题其实是源于明代的，因此第三章的最后一部分是以明代的社会问题为主。
在第四章里我分析笑话里的狂欢以及怪诞元素。基于前苏联文学批评家米·米·巴赫金对这两个概念的界定，本章分析《笑林广记》里的广场语言及其怪诞身体的描述，尤其值得注意的是人身的废物、性器官以及降格。

石濤（1642-1707）二十五歲赴宣城之前的早年經歷直接關係到他日後的心態和藝術成長，但諸家之說有明顯差距。鑒於石濤為明朝宗室，身歷家國之變，後成爲禪師旅庵本月（1676年卒）的法嗣，本文重新檢視其畫作、題識和詩文，置於南明永曆朝（1647-1662）的興衰和禪宗法嗣擇選的政教背景，對他從廣西全州遷武昌（約1653年春）、再遷松江（約1663年春）的時間提出比較確切的新推測，同時探索其心路歷程，認爲石濤對明清易代的歷史現實從傷痛轉爲擁護，他的自我形象也隨之演變，才華和野心驅使他在禪修和藝術上勇於嘗新。石濤早年的存世作品極少，本文主要根據廣東省博物館所藏〈山水花卉冊〉（約繪於1655至1664年間），並參酌大都會藝術博物館所藏〈十六羅漢圖〉卷（繪於1667年）中出現的新手法，追溯他的書畫啟蒙：書法據文獻記載在全州時初學顔真卿；武昌時期另習鍾繇（151-230），並學畫竹石花卉和山水；松江期間因見識到丁雲鵬（1547-1628以後）和其仿效者留在當地的佛畫，人物畫數年間大進，又可能因接觸董其昌（1555-1636）的繪畫和理論，山水畫出現半抽象、平面化表現。
Shitao’s (1642-1707) complex life experiences before moving to Xuancheng, Anhui, at the age of 25 sui exerted a lasting impact on his mentality and art but has remained a subject of debate with regard to a few issues. In view of his double identity as a descendant of the expelled Ming imperial house and a dharma heir to the Chan master Lü’an Benyue, this article re-examines his art works, inscriptions, and poems in the context of the doomed Yongli regime of the Southern Ming and the grueling training of a dharma heir in the Linji sect of Chan Buddhism. Proposing a better substantiated chronology of Shitao’s move from Quanzhou, Guangxi Province, first to Wuchang (early 1653) and then to Songjiang (early 1663), It also traces his spiritual journey through the intersection of the historical and the individual. As the trauma over dynastic change eased into an eager embrace of the new regime, his religious and artistic identities evolved in tandem. Talent and ambition drove him in the quest for the new. Shitao’s extant early works are rare. By analyzing his Landscapes and Flowers album (ca. 1655-ca. 1664) in the Guangdong Provincial Museum and the new development as reflected in his Sixteen Luohans (dated 1667) in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this article provides a glimpse into his burgeoning art practice. In calligraphy, he began with the Yan Zhenqing style while in Quanzhou. During his sojourn in Wuchang, Zhong You became a major model and he started painting flowers and landscapes in earnest. In the Songjiang period, he progressed remarkably in figure painting thanks to exposure to the Buddhist paintings by Ding Yunpeng and his followers kept in the region. Shitao also started experimenting with semi-abstract imagery and flattened space in landscape painting probably inspired by Dong Qichang’s painting and theory.

From the perspectives of historical memory and narrative, this paper reexamines two late Ming texts long denounced as “falsified history”—Zhishen lu (The Account of Self-Dedication) and Congwang suibi (Casual Notes Written while... more

This article fills a gap in Ming-Qing historiography by discussing the first encounter that Chinese Ming-Qing historians had with Choson Korean historical materials. The first generation of Ming-Qing historians in China began to pay more attention to Choson materials in the 1920s. Important pioneers in the field, such as Meng Sen (孟森), Wu Han (吳晗), and Li Kwang-tao (李光濤), devoted themselves to reading and researching the Veritable Records of the Choson Dynasty (Chaoxian wangchao shilu). This article argues that these Chinese historians attached importance to the Choson materials in the 1930s because of two key factors: the problems that persisted in Qing historiography; and the research achievements of Japanese historians of East Asia. This combination of internal and external elements brought Choson Korean materials to the attention of Chinese Ming-Qing historians.

This article first investigates the influence of cultural policies in the Qing dynasty, under which the government deployed various methods to compel scholars to abide by official constraints on their research. This legacy led Ming-Qing historians in the 1930s to doubt the credibility of Qing-era historians, to the point that they lamented the paucity of reliable Qing history data. At the same time, Japanese historians had begun to make considerable progress in developing the study of Choson Korea. This article shows that these Choson materials first came to the attention of Chinese historians through Japanese scholarship, in the absence of reliable Qing historical material. The use of Choson historical materials in the study of Ming and Qing history enabled these historians to pose challenging new research questions, and led to the creation of Meng Sen’s masterpiece, A Comprehensive Record of the Yuan, Ming and Qing (Yuan, Ming, Qing xi tongji). Lastly, this article reviews developments from the 1930s to the 1960s, showing how Ming-Qing historians have viewed the value and significance of Choson historical materials.
