In the first half of the nineteenth century the Qing Empire faced a crisis. It was broadly perceived both inside and outside of government that the “prosperous age” of the eighteenth century was over. Bureaucratic corruption and malaise, population pressure and food shortages, ecological and infrastructural decay, domestic and frontier rebellion, adverse balances of trade, and, eventually, a previously inconceivable foreign threat from the West seemed to present hopelessly daunting challenges.
This study uses the literati reformer Bao Shichen as a prism to understand contemporary perceptions of and proposed solutions to this general crisis. Though Bao only briefly and inconsequentially served in office himself, he was widely recognized as an expert on each of these matters, and his advice was regularly sought by reform-minded administrators. From examination of his thought on bureaucratic and fiscal restructuring, agricultural improvement, the grain tribute administration, the salt monopoly, monetary policy, and foreign relations, Bao emerges as a consistent advocate of the hard-nosed pursuit of material “profit,” in the interests not only of the rural populace but also of the Chinese state and nation, anticipating the arguments of “self-strengthening” reformers later in the century.
William T. Rowe is John and Diane Cooke Professor of Chinese History at Johns Hopkins University.
Collection of revised articles, solid intro. for those uninformed about the period. Written by someone who's in the happy position of not having to justify the point of writing.
评分《救世》的姐妹篇。以包世臣为视角探讨19世纪中国的农、漕、盐、货币问题,罗明确反对包世臣是自由主义者这样的说法,认为在他身上体现得更多的是功利主义色彩,如对生产效率的追求,减轻农民负担,消除“中饱”阶层和寻求国家财政的增加。在关于包世臣材料有限的情况下,罗尽量结合嘉道时期的社会背景进行讨论,并将包世臣置于寻求富强的历史脉络上对其历史角色予以重新衡量,不过对于经世同理学经学的讨论比较欠缺,整体上还是缺乏新意。杨念群在《文史哲》上发表的文章倒值得一读。

评分感觉作者也陷入了如包世臣般考证的怪圈。有时候读起来怪纠结的。。。不过好就好在也客观反应了那个时期有抱负心的statist/literati们对时代、王朝的纠结,看完心态蛮落空的…

在北美汉学界,人物传记大概是近些年比较少见的题材。受人类学、社会学影响,学者更倾向于透过微观考察,从普通人的视角探寻历史的幽暗微光。相比之下,罗威廉(William T. Rowe)的《言利:包世臣与19世纪的改革》显得更加瞩目。罗的研究以城市史与社会史著称,他关于汉口与麻...
