This book summarizes twenty years of the author's work in historical anthropology and documents his argument that in China, ritual provided the social glue that law provided in the West. The book offers a readable history of the special lineage institutions for which south China has been noted and argues that these institutions fostered the mechanisms that enabled south China to be absorbed into the imperial Chinese state—first, by introducing rituals that were acceptable to the state, and second, by providing mechanisms that made group ownership of property feasible and hence made it possible to pool capital for land reclamation projects important to the state. Just as taxation, defense, and recognition came together with the emergence of powerful lineages in the sixteenth century, their disintegration in the late nineteenth century signaled the beginnings of a new Chinese state.
David Faure is Professor of History at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He is the coeditor of Down to Earth: The Territorial Bond in South China (Stanford University Press, 1995).
Faure illustrates that "lineage" is anything but a static and "natural" tradition. Instead, it is an institution that both resulted from and propelled the integration of state and local society around the 16th c.. It came to its full cycle upon the early 20th c., when the society was reoriented around new institutions emerging in coastal cities.
评分写作方面问题不少,比较零散,行文晦涩。有的小节甚至有些文不对题(不知道是不是我没看仔细),比如佛山霍氏那章最后一节,没看到market体现在哪里了。但老爷子写到不少发人深省的细节,时刻提醒读者制度法令(比如里甲,比如地方管理和中央政权的脱节)执行的不彻底性,真正站在当时官员与平民的立场考量,非常难得。另外读到十二章开篇,论及崇祯皇帝自缢时珠三角人民在看戏,而一个去顺德赴任的官员途中听到皇帝的消息而满怀哀伤上任,顿时感到国家和地方和个人之间那遥远而又紧密的关联,不禁深深思索国家风雨飘摇之际个人的命运该如何。
评分叫你和刘志X玩,看看,地方史的人不喜欢了吧,里甲虽好不能大用啊~不过学生好也算是不错~

我花了2个晚上和一个下午,很认真地把这本书一页页地读了一遍。期待我能发现不少新的东西,不过失望之余,我还是被作者(20年之研究)和译者(2年之翻译)的诚恳感动了。 作者与许多“华南学派”的学者一样,把珠江口沙田的开发及围绕这一经济-生计行为展开的文化互动,作为几...
