Environmental Equity in China and Beyond: Past, Present, and Future

Authors: Michael Nylan, Thomas Hahn

Publisher: Bloomsbury

Publication year: 2026

Abstract:

Together they explore the environment in the Chinese philosophical tradition and contemporary China through the lens of intergenerational justice. Nylan's analysis of lesser known texts from ancient China changes our thinking of Chinese political philosophy and legal antiquity codes. Hahn's comprehensive overview of recent data from China offers a response to the present crisis. Their original approach underscores why environmentalism is always more than a Western issue.

By applying ancient ideas to an urgent topic with a unique emphasis on East Asia, this one-of-a-kind guide to environmental thought challenges standard narratives. It is essential reading for anyone looking to understand how classical Chinese concepts can provide the necessary tools to improve how we think about the world we live in.

A History of Civil Law in Early China: Cases, Statutes, Concepts and Beyond A History of Civil Law in Early China

Abstract:

How did people solve their disputes over debt, compensation, inheritance and other civil matters in early China? Did they go to court? How did the authorities view those problems? Using recently excavated early Chinese legal materials, Zhang Zhaoyang makes the compelling argument that civil law was not only developed, but also acquired a certain degree of sophistication during the Qin and Han dynasties. The state promulgated detailed regulations to deal with economic and personal relationships between individuals. The authorities formed an integral part of the formal justice system, and heard civil cases on a regular basis.

China and the World – the World and China: Essays in Honor of Rudolf G. Wagner

Volume 1：Transcultural Perspectives on Pre-modern China

Editor: 
Joachim GENTZ

Publication Date:
2019

Publisher:
OSTASIEN Verlag, Gossenberg

Abstract: 
A wide range of topics is covered in this collection of four volumes of essays in honor of Rudolf G. Wagner. The expansive time frame from pre-modern to contemporary China in China and the World – the World and China reflect the breadth of his own scholarship. The essays are also testimony to his ability to connect with scholars across the globe, across disciplines and generations.

The first volume (Transcultural Perspectives on Pre-modern China) brings together a set of contributions relating to the pre-modern period which reveals thematic clusters that correspond to the three main periods of Chinese pre-modern history. While the first six contributions on the early China period focus on conceptual questions of text interpretation and reconstruction, the following five on medieval China all deal with religious topics whereas the last four contributions, covering the late imperial period, address issues of the entangled relationship between the self and the exterior.

Monographs in Tang Official Historiography: Perspectives from the Technical Treatises of the History of Sui (Sui Shu)

Editors:
Daniel Patrick Morgan, Damien Chaussende

Publication date:
09/09/2019

Publisher:
Springer International Publishing

Abstract:

This book examines the role of medieval authors in writing the history of ancient science. It features essays that explore the content, structure, and ideas behind technical writings on medieval Chinese state history. In particular, it looks at the Ten Treatises of the current History of Sui 隋書, which provide insights into the writing on the history of such fields as astronomy, astrology, omenology, economics, law, geography, metrology, and library science. Three treatises are known to have been written by Li Chunfeng 李淳風, one of the most important mathematicians, astronomers, and astrologers in Chinese history.

The book not only opens a new window on the figure of Li Chunfeng by exploring what his writings as a historian of science tell us about him as a scientist and vice versa, it also discusses how and on what basis the individual treatises were written.

The essays address such themes as (1) the recycling of sources and the question of reliability and objectivity in premodern history-writing; (2) the tug of war between conservatism and innovation; (3) the imposition of the author’s voice, worldview, and personal and professional history in writing a history of a field of technical expertise in a state history; (4) the degree to which modern historians are compelled to speak to their own milieu and ideological beliefs.

The Book of Lord Shang: Apologetics of State Power in Early China

Translator and Editor:
Yuri Pines

Publisher:
Columbia University Press

Publication Date:
March 2017

Abstract:

Compiled in China in the fourth–third centuries B.C.E., The Book of Lord Shang argues for a new powerful government to penetrate society and turn every man into a diligent tiller and valiant soldier. Creating a "rich state and a strong army" will be the first step toward unification of "All-under-Heaven." These ideas served the state of Qin that eventually created the first imperial polity on Chinese soil. In this new translation, The Book of Lord Shang's intellectual boldness and surprisingly modern-looking ideas shine through, underscoring the text's vibrant contribution to global political thought.

The Book of Lord Shang is attributed to the political theorist Shang Yang 商鞅 and his followers. It epitomizes the ideology of China's so-called Legalist School of thought. In the ninety years since the work's previous translation, major breakthroughs in studies of the book's dating and context have recast our understanding of its messages. This edition applies these advances to a whole new reading of the text's content and function in the sociopolitical life of its times and subsequent centuries. This fully annotated translation is ideal for newcomers to the book while also guiding early Chinese scholars and comparatists in placing the work within a timeline of influence. It highlights the text's practical success and its impact on the political thought and political practice in traditional and modern China.

Abstract:

The Zouyanshu is a collection of legal case records from the early 2nd century BCE. Together with other recently discovered sources, it has in many respects fundamentally altered our view not only of the law, but also of state, society, and everyday life in the formative years of the establishment of the Chinese empire. The Zouyanshu thus provides important background information for the understanding of activities in all spheres of life in early China, including divination and fate-manipulation. The monograph contains a complete translation of the Zouyanshu, together with introductory information and a detailed documentation of all legal and non-legal matters touched upon in this case collection.

中国古代国家と情報伝達: 秦漢簡牘の研究

Author:
藤田　勝久 (Fujita, Katsuhisa)

Publication Date:
March, 2016

Publisher:
汲古書院

Abstract:

　本書は、中国出土資料の機能を通じて、秦漢時代の郡県制における文書伝達と情報処理、交通システムの原理を明らかにしようと試みるものである。こうした簡牘にみえる情報伝達の特徴を通じて、中国古代国家と地域社会の特質を解明することが目的である。各章は、以下のような構成である。

　第一編「秦漢簡牘の機能と情報伝達」では、秦代の県城である里耶古城と、県レベルの機構である甲　渠候官と肩水候官、その下部にある肩水金関、県の下部にある懸泉置を基礎として、簡牘の機能（文書逓伝、冊書の文書伝達、情報処理、単独簡の用法、通行証としての伝）に注目し、秦漢時代の情報伝達の原理を明らかにする。第一章「里耶秦簡と秦代郡県制」は、出土資料学としての機能を整理して、県の領域にある地方官府の役割を考察する。第二章「漢代地方の文書逓伝と情報処理」は、中央と地方を結ぶ懸泉置の文書逓伝と、張掖郡に所属する県レベルの甲渠候官を中心として、冊書の伝達と文書処理を考察する。第三章「漢代地方の文書処理と『発』」は、漢代の文書処理について考察する。第四章「漢代檄の伝達方法と機能」は、冊書の文書に対して、觚の形状をもち単独で使用される檄の伝達を考察している。第五章「漢代交通と伝の機能」は、懸泉漢簡にみえる「失亡伝信冊」を手がかりとして、全国に発信される文書伝達と、伝信（伝、通行証）の形態について論じている。第六章「漢簡にみえる地方官府の伝」は、懸泉漢簡の敦煌郡が発給する形式を手がかりとして、伝の形態と機能や、出張の用務と東方社会との関係、漢代西北の交通維持と規制について考察している。

　第二編「秦漢時代の交通と情報伝達」では、交通システムに関する規定や、懸泉置という郵駅の施設、肩水金関、褒斜道の交通ルートにある石刻資料を対象とする。ここでは交通システムと情報伝達に注目し、漢王朝の県レベルの領域にある懸泉置や肩水金関の役割を考察している。第七章「秦漢交通システムと出土資料」は、中国交通史と出土資料について概観し、交通システムに関する法令として、張家山漢簡「伝食律」「津関令」と『奏獻書』などの規定を整理している。第八章「漢代西北の交通と懸泉置」は、懸泉置の構造と漢簡を概観したあと、郵書として受け渡しをする文書と、懸泉置に到達した文書伝達を考察している。第九章「エチナ河流域の交通と肩水金関」は、肩水候官と肩水金関が接近しており、その役割が関連するといわれることから、居延漢簡にみえる両者の簡牘をあわせて分析する。第十章「後漢時代の交通と情報伝達」は、漢中の褒斜道石刻をめぐって、その交通ルートと道路工事の関係を、地域社会との関連で考察している。終章「中国古代の出土資料と地域社会」は、秦帝国の制度を受け継いだ漢王朝の制度を基本として、地方官府の文書伝達と情報処理の原理を整理している。ここでは漢代の文書処理の方法や、単独簡の機能を述べている。とくに注意した点は、つぎの通りである。①中央政府の文書行政に対して、地方官府と下部の吏民におよぶ情報伝達と運営の実態を広く対象とすること。このとき県レベルの官府では、秦代の里耶秦簡と、漢代の居延漢簡、懸泉漢簡を比較して、文書システムの共通規格（format、フォーマット）を解明しようとしている。これは情報技術を重視する方面である。②漢代の懸泉置と肩水金関の役割を通じて、交通の維持と検察や、人びとの往来、書信と口頭におよぶ情報伝達を考えること。これは古代中国に共通する交通システムの原理を分析する方面である。③秦漢時代の簡牘の特徴では、出土した地域性と時代の変化に注意しながら、地方行政との関係を考察した。ここでは情報処理の技術を生み出したテクノラートとその社会背景を想定し、中国古代国家と地域社会の特質を展望する。こうした秦漢時代の情報技術は、伝統中国の国家と社会を考えるだけではなく、東アジアの資料学や、現代の情報社会にかかわるテーマとなっている。

Abstract:

In Legal Practice in the Formative Stages of the Chinese Empire, Ulrich Lau and Thies Staack offer a richly annotated English translation of the Wei yu deng zhuang si zhong 爲獄等狀四種, a collection of criminal case records from the pre-imperial state of Qin (dating from 246 BC–222 BC) that is part of the manuscripts in the possession of Yuelu Academy (嶽麓書院). Through an analysis of the collection and a comparison with similar manuscript finds from the Qin and Han periods, the authors shed new light on many aspects of the Qin administration of justice, e.g. criminal investigation, stages of criminal procedure, principles for determining punishment, and interaction of judicial officials on different administrative levels.

Abstract:

In Law, State, and Society in Early Imperial China, Anthony J. Barbieri-Low and Robin D.S. Yates offer the first detailed study and translation into English of two recently excavated, early Chinese legal texts. The Statutes and Ordinances of the Second Year consists of a selection from the long-lost laws of the early Han dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE). It includes items from twenty-seven statute collections and one ordinance. The Book of Submitted Doubtful Cases contains twenty-two legal case records, some of which have undergone literary embellishment. Taken together, the two texts contain a wealth of information about slavery, social class, ranking, the status of women and children, property, inheritance, currency, finance, labor mobilization, resource extraction, agriculture, market regulation, and administrative geography.
