Description

This two-volume set meticulously dissects the xiangli system, a cornerstone of rural governance in imperial China, illuminating how state power extended to the villages while examining how the rural population was integrated into the dynastic system. The books explore the origin and nature of the xiangli system, systematically tracing its development throughout imperial China. The first volume focuses on its implementation in imperial China from the Pre-Qin period to the Tang dynasty, while the second volume covers the period from the Song to the Qing dynasties. The author examines the rules, meanings and changes of the xiangli system across the dynasties and analyses its historical implementation in different regions and periods. It explores the economic and social contexts as well as the ideological and theoretical foundations that shaped the system. It also examines the multiple impacts of the system on economies, societies, politics and cultures. The set will be essential reading for scholars and students of China and Chinese history, particularly those interested in rural governance and control in imperial China.
