The Qing Jinshenlu Database : A New Source for the Study of Qing Officialdom REN Yuxue etal journal6    2016, 0 (4): 61-77.   Abstract （3128）      PDF（pc） （3631KB）（4065）       Knowledge map    Save This essay introduces a major new database, based on the Jinshenlu, for the study of Chinese officialdom and Chinese society during the last imperial dynasty, the Qing, who ruled from 1644 to 1911. For almost two centuries, the Qing government and private publishers published a Jinshenlu every three months with the names and particulars of all civil, and sometimes military，officials. We are transcribing 400 of these quarterly editions dating from 1661 to 1917 into a database，beginning with 206 containing approximately 2 800 000 records of 400 000 officials republished by the Tsinghua University Library as the《清代缙绅录集成》. Based on our initial transcription of 652 984 records of 145 770 officials from 47 editions, we demonstrate the potential of these data for the study of official careers. We contrast bannermen, who had their own appointment system，with civil officials who passed the civil service examinations ,and other officials who purchased their appointments. Moreover, we demonstrate that these Jinshenlu records can be linked to records in other systematic sources on the Qing imperial lineage, on examination degree holders , and on office purchasers. The resulting combined data provide an important opportunity to understand Qing political and social elites. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

" Secret Code of the Fragrant Flower Monk"," The Wan-Wu Daozong","The Story of Xilu" and the Origins of The Heaven and Earth Society QIN Bao-Qi journal6    2007, 0 (3): 64-72.   Abstract （2770）      PDF（pc） （462KB）（3110）       Knowledge map    Save The discovery in the 1990s o f the ru ins o f the Chang lin M onastery, the relics of Wan- Wu Daozong, in Fujian, and what Luo Zhao has called them anuscripts of the “Secret Code of the Fragrant Flower Monk”caused quite a stir in academia. “The Secret Code,” which is copied some materials related with Heaven and Earth Society, and Luo Zhao confirmed it mainly written by Wan-W u Daozong, so it is regarded as valuable historical source for studying the origin of Heaven and Earth Society. Wan- Wu Daozong as the founder of the Heaven and Earth Society. Some scholars believe this find was a “major breakthrough” in the research on origins of the Heaven and Earth Society.  In 2006 this author visited the abbot of Kulai Temple on Dongshan Island in Fujian and examined the authentic source o f the “secret code”. In comparison, the author found that the source was not related to the content of Heaven and Earth Society. The Heaven and Earth Society figures and poems contained in these recent discoveries were added afterwards?? The word “Tongmenghui” was in the “Secret Code” , so it is impossible the work was handed down from Wan- Wu Daozong during Kangxi period. Therefore it cannot be taken as a source for studying the origins of Heaven and Earth Society. Conclusions based on it do not stand up.  But the discovery of the ruins of Chang lin Monastery contributes to understanding the story o f Xilu in “Record of the Society” of Heaven and Earth Society.

A Discussion of Angus Maddison’ Estimates of Pre-Modern China’s GDP in View of an Marcoanalysis of China’s Aggregate Economy from 1600 to 1840 LIU Ti journal6    2010, 0 (2): 48-55.   Abstract （1521）      PDF（pc） （504KB）（2987）       Knowledge map    Save This essay analyzes the statistics and methods that Angus Maddison used to analyze pre-modern China's GDP. The author finds the overall estimate sketchy with many inadequacies in the statistical methodology，and even some obviously self-contradictory points. Maddison believes that from 1500 to 1820 China's per capita GDP was equivalent to ＄ 600 in 1990 US dollars; the author believes that this overestimates the true figure by 50%—90%. With regard to China's proportion in the world economy，Maddison overestimates China's position by about a third. Related Articles | Metrics

From this perspective, the Qing dynasty not only bequeathed the present Chinese territory and the material wealth of united multi-nationalities country, but also the precious spiritual legacy of the content and denotation of“China”and  “Chinese nationality.” Related Articles | Metrics

The Xinyou Coup d’Etat and Orthodox Thinking on Imperial Power: A Further Inquiry into the Reasons for the Success of Cixi’s Coup WANG Kai-Xi journal6    2002, 0 (4): 49-56.   Abstract （2091）      PDF（pc） （567KB）（2812）       Knowledge map    Save In August 1861, the Emperor Xianfeng arranged “the funeral affairs” on his deathbed. This arrangement created a balance of power, but also set the stage for the subsequent power struggle. The provision of the imperial seal institutional1y ensured the preservation of imperial power and precluded the possibility of Su Shun and others forcing the new child emperor to do their bidding, but it also provided the opportunity for Ci Xi to grasp the highest power of Qing court. The numerous victories that Ci Xi won over Su Shun, such as obtaining the title of queen mother, were a result of her ability to control the imperial seal. Many ministers, literati and officials, who held orthodox ideas of imperial power, expressed widespread doubts over the legality and reliability of Su Shun and his supporters thereby assisting the child emperor. The orthodox idea of imperial power was the profoundly decisive reason that Ci Xi won victory in the coup. It not only influenced the people of that time but also has influenced some contemporary historians. Related Articles | Metrics
