具体描述
How did ordinary people in the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) deal with the demands of the state? In The Art of Being Governed, Michael Szonyi explores the myriad ways that families fulfilled their obligations to provide a soldier to the army. The complex strategies they developed to manage their responsibilities suggest a new interpretation of an important period in China's history as well as a broader theory of politics.
Using previously untapped sources, including lineage genealogies and internal family documents, Szonyi examines how soldiers and their families living on China's southeast coast minimized the costs and maximized the benefits of meeting government demands for manpower. Families that had to provide a soldier for the army set up elaborate rules to ensure their obligation was fulfilled, and to provide incentives for the soldier not to desert his post. People in the system found ways to gain advantages for themselves and their families. For example, naval officers used the military's protection to engage in the very piracy and smuggling they were supposed to suppress. Szonyi demonstrates through firsthand accounts how subjects of the Ming state operated in a space between defiance and compliance, and how paying attention to this middle ground can help us better understand not only Ming China but also other periods and places.

读后感
为了确保军队维持在一定的规模，明朝实行了一项军户制度。简略地说，军户制度就是从民户中选出一部分定为军户，要求每个军户必须保证任何时候始终提供一名士兵在军队服役。如果在服役的士兵病死、战死或出现其他意外状况，对应的军户必须再提供一个新的男丁补充。这名正在服役...
评分用民俗学、人类学的方法做了一个社区研究，核心聚焦点放在了社会学、政治学讨论的国家——社会——个人议题上。 具体内容不多介绍了，书最后部分作者自己已经总结得非常清楚了。 1.家谱研究的田野方法很有意思，之前隐约记得潘光旦先生有类似研究?不知道国内有没有其他人用这种...

用户评价
以小见大的又一范本。从军户在不同circumstances的生存智慧出发，结合“everyday politics”的概念，对明朝历史的一些既有理解提出挑战或做出修正（contract，lineage，withdrawal of the state，commercial revolution）。Conclusion显示野心，尝试归纳一般意义上premodern state中state-society relations的特点（regulatory arbitrage)，最后对Mitchell “state effect”的概念进行升华，提出“premodern state effect"的概念，即the presence of state是地方统治的必要资源和一些社会现象的源头。
评分the second time of english reading session the author told a good.story about the military institution in the Ming dynasty. the art of not being governed by Scott，what's the difference? being away from government or wielding the legal world weapons focus on the important content ！
评分Even after the Ming dynasty collapsed, people still manage to maintain prerogatives to serve their interests in the Qing dynasty. Interestingly, local magistrate was choosing to apply an outdated regulatory regime because he saw no alternative. Seems like learning how to benefit from regulatory arbitrage has embedded in Chinese’s’ NDA.
评分理论一团糟，但是有重要的介入
评分the description of basic facts and institutions may be not surprising, or even superficial in terms of the scholarship of institutional history, but such an endeavor to incorporate institutional history into social history, which the author have long been trained and familiar with, and the excellent art of storytelling are the most intriguing parts
