Violence and Order on the Chengdu Plain pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2025
In 1939, residents of a rural village near Chengdu watched as Lei Mingyuan, a member of a violent secret society known as the Gowned Brothers, executed his teenage daughter. Six years later, Shen Baoyuan, a sociology student at Yenching University, arrived in the town to conduct fieldwork on the society that once held sway over local matters. She got to know Lei Mingyuan and his family, recording many rare insights about the murder and the Gowned Brothers' inner workings.
Using the filicide as a starting point to examine the history, culture, and organization of the Gowned Brothers, Di Wang offers nuanced insights into the structures of local power in 1940s rural Sichuan. Moreover, he examines the influence of Western sociology and anthropology on the way intellectuals in the Republic of China perceived rural communities. By studying the complex relationship between the Gowned Brothers and the Chinese Communist Party, he offers a unique perspective on China's transition to socialism. In so doing, Wang persuasively connects a family in a rural community, with little overt influence on national destiny, to the movements and ideologies that helped shape contemporary China.
Di Wang is Professor of History at the University of Macau. He is the author of The Teahouse: Small Business, Everyday Culture, and Public Politics in Chengdu, 1900–1950 (Stanford, 2008).

評分Microhistory的嘗試。不過內容實在是寫得太過單薄瞭。緻命的是,全書並無一個有效的問題意識在支撐。

因为在重庆生活8年,出于对“袍哥”这一群体和其背后文化的好奇读了这本书,虽然有一部分困惑依然没有解开,但于己的收获也是很明显的。 1、 纠正了我对“码头文化”想当然的理解。 在读本书之前,我一直以为,重庆因为沿江,所以在古代有很多码头(现在依然保留,只有部分对外...
