Description

Ronald Suleski's scholarly work introduces chaoben as a vital source material for understanding China's semi-literate masses during the transformative century before 1950. This volume, part of the China Studies series, examines historical documents now emerging from Chinese antiques markets, revealing the hopes, fears and everyday experiences of ordinary people at the end of China's pre-modern era. By collecting and documenting these previously overlooked texts, Suleski preserves important cultural records that illuminate social history beyond traditional elite perspectives. The book serves researchers, historians and students of Chinese culture seeking authentic insights into common life, domestic practices and popular concerns during this pivotal period of modernisation and social change.

Key Features

Introduces chaoben documents as a new category of historical source material for studying everyday Chinese life from 1850 to 1950.

Examines manuscripts and texts recovered from Chinese antiques markets that reveal authentic voices of semi-literate populations.

Part of the Brill China Studies series, number 39, offering scholarly context within a comprehensive collection of Asian historical research.

Preserves important cultural texts that might otherwise have been lost, documenting hopes, fears and daily experiences of ordinary Chinese people.

Provides historians and students with access to pre-modern era perspectives beyond traditional elite-focused historical records.
