In the early twentieth century, the Chinese state made strenuous efforts to broaden and deepen its authority over rural society. This book is an ambitious attempt to offer both a method and a framework for analyzing Chinese social history in the state-making era.The author constructs a prismatic view of village-level society that shows how marketing, kinship, water control, temple patronage, and other structures of human interaction overlapped to form what he calls the cultural nexus of power in local society. The author's concept of the cultural nexus and his tracing of how it was altered enables us for the first time to grapple with change at the village level in all its complexity.The author asserts that the growth of the state transformed and delegitimized the traditional cultural nexus during the Republican era, particularly in the realm of village leadership and finances. Thus, the expansion of state power was ultimately and paradoxically responsible for the revolution in China as it eroded the foundations of village life, leaving nothing in its place.The problems of state-making in China were different from those of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Europe; the Chinese experience heralds the process that would become increasingly common in the emergent states of the developing world under the very different circumstances of the twentieth century.

难读
评分主要观点听起来很合理,但感性上总觉得无法认同
评分难读
评分史料详实机制细致。政治经济的清末、民初都好,但文化基本上只写到宗教了,现代化和意识形态的进入感觉写的不够味道。cultural nexus of power -- protective & entrepreneurial brokages -(modernization & fiscal pressure)- state involution
评分it seems very trendy to criticize a model/paradigm focusing too much on “consistency” and neglecting “culture”…It seems we can modify everything by pointing out there are contested/negotiated symbols…
“从基层上看去,中国社会是乡土性的。”费孝通在《乡土中国》一书中如是说,乡绅是中国社会独特的文化现象。费老对乡土社会的描述是“皇权不下县,县下惟宗族,宗族皆自治,自治靠伦理,伦理造乡绅。”我也看到过有学者认为,与其说传统中国社会是“皇权不下县”的,倒不如说...
评分研一的时候,曾草草读过此书关于国家政权建设与权力的文化网络部分,另精读此书的宗教一章。这种掐头去尾的阅读方式在面对一些没有首尾连贯性的书籍时还能敷衍,面对这种逻辑性极强,一章扣一章的书籍,则实属不负责任。故此次重读,是为从头至尾的精读。 “权力的文化网络”作...
评分 评分大四上学期的最后一篇习作,为怀念那段历久弥新的好日子,特意拿出来晒晒。 杜赞奇先生的《文化、权力与国家:1900—1942年的华北农村》一书立足于中国农村(江湖)与国家政权(庙堂)的互动关系如何开展博弈。文无义理不立,界定概念是澄清问题的首要步骤,作者明白语言不可...
