Abstract In this article, I advance a recent epigraphic approach to historical study by foregrounding steles as a medium that functions both to communicate information and project authority publicly. Scholars taking this approach have explored distinctive genres of steles to transform our understanding of north China under Mongol rule. Through a case study, I show how a set of steles installed in the fifteenth-century rural world of north China transmitted authority and power not just through the content of their inscriptions but also through other written and unwritten information they stored. I give particular attention to the ways in which the inscriptions were materialized and visualized. In doing so, I argue that emphasizing the public communication function of steles challenges us to think beyond primary sources strictly in terms of their textual value to reflect more broadly on modes of transmission and the power dynamics contained within them.

dence,” but are understood both critically and discursively as a part of how a “Kongzhai effect” was created and sustained in the face of (often) indifference and (occasionally) hostility. This is in some ways a record of failure, of things that didn’t happen, plans that didn’t come off (quite literally; some of the most fascinating illustrations are handdrawn plans for unachieved renovation in the 1840s, from the archives of the Confucian headquarters at Qufu). Kongzhai was clearly never as famous, never as prominent, never as loved as its most dedicated supporters felt it should be. Some readers may find themselves calling to mind the poignant chapters in the great Qing novel Ru lin wai shi, itself set in the mid-Ming, which deal with the ultimately unsuccessful attempts of a group of local literati to institute a cult of Tai Bo, legendary founder of the Kingdom of Wu. Despite the grand ceremony narrated in loving detail in chapter 37, by the end of the novel, his temple too is “falling down.” There may perhaps have been many such failed enterprises across the Ming–Qing ritual landscape, reminding us that history is not only written by the winners, it is written about the winners. There are sites of forgetting, as well as lieux de mémoire. Perhaps appropriately, the few surviving material fragments that have survived the wreck of Kongzhai’s fortunes have now been relocated to become embedded in one of the rebuilt “classic gardens” which are a very visible “newly old” (xin jiu) manifestation of a “traditional Chinese culture” in the contemporary urban landscape. This very welcome study shows just how fluid and contingent that “traditional Chinese culture” really was, far from the monolithic and triumphalist presence taken for granted in so much contemporary official discourse, which might have plenty of room for the celebration of Confucius (in his place), but which has, it seems, no place for Kongzhai. In showing us how this situation was arrived at, and the many twists and turns that led there, Julia Murray has provided an outstandingly rich and thought-provoking account, which will be of enduring value.
但在批评和讨论中都被理解为“孔寨效应”是如何在（通常）冷漠和（偶尔）敌意面前产生和维持的一部分。在某种程度上，这是一个失败的记录，没有发生的事情，没有实现的计划（确切地说，一些最引人入胜的插图是从曲阜儒家总部的档案中手工绘制的19世纪40年代未实现的翻修计划）。孔寨显然从来没有像它最忠实的支持者所认为的那样出名、突出、受人喜爱。一些读者可能会想起清代小说《儒林外史》中的辛酸章节，这部小说本身就发生在明代中期，讲述了一群当地文人建立对台Bo崇拜的最终失败的尝试，吴的传奇缔造者。尽管第37章讲述了盛大的仪式，但在小说的结尾，他的寺庙也在“倒塌”。在明清礼制景观中，可能有很多这样的失败企业，提醒我们历史不仅仅是由胜利者书写的，它是关于胜利者的。这里有遗忘的地方，也有莫伊拉宫（lieux de mémoire）。也许恰当的是，在孔宅命运的废墟中幸存下来的为数不多的物质碎片现在被重新安置，嵌入重建的“经典花园”中，这是当代城市景观中“中国传统文化”的一种非常明显的“新老”（新酒）表现。这项非常受欢迎的研究表明，“中国传统文化”的流动性和偶然性，与当代许多官方话语中被视为理所当然的铁板一块和必胜主义的存在相去甚远，这些话语可能有很大的空间来庆祝孔子（在他的位置上），但似乎没有孔斋的位置。朱莉娅·默里向我们展示了这种情况是如何发生的，以及导致这种情况的许多曲折，她提供了一个非常丰富和发人深省的叙述，这将具有持久的价值。

Abstract One of the young couples that exemplified the “perfect match” marriage in Qing history, Sun Xingyan 孫星衍 and Wang Caiwei 王采薇 left behind personal records that give us a glimpse into the intimate world they created, from intellectually stimulating post-marriage courtship, to mourning and pledge of fidelity when Wang Caiwei died. Analyzing this record in the contexts of the Qing literati glorification of “perfect match” marriage and the couple's familial and social lives, this article pieces together a personal story about youthful passion and love and considers questions about the shapes of emotion and marital companionship and the ways the young couple navigated emotional and social complexities in their pursuit of an ideal companionship.

Despite the long Dutch presence in Taiwan (1624–1662) and the active trade between Batavia and China in the eighteenth century, the Dutch tradition of academic Sinology got underway only in the last quarter of the nineteenth century, when the training of future officers for Chinese affairs in the Dutch East Indies was moved to Leiden. This training (often including an extended period of stay in China) remained the main task of Chinese teaching at Leiden until 1949, when Indonesia achieved independence. The earliest phase of Chinese teaching at Leiden has received an encyclopedic coverage in the work of Koos Kuiper. Scholars of the second generation who have received monographic treatment include J.J.M. de Groot and Henri Borel. The best-known Dutch Sinologist of the middle of the twentieth century was Robert Hans van Gulik who was not only a successful diplomat and highly original scholar, but also established an international reputation with his Judge Dee crime novels. His work has given rise to considerable scholarship in English and Chinese.

Abstract This account of Sinology in the United Kingdom, in part incorporating personal reminiscence, starts with an analysis of the growth of the British library resources necessary to the practice of Sinology, followed by a sketch of the marginality in Britain in the early twentieth century of this type of scholarship. The changes brought about by the military requirements of World War II are seen as foreshadowing an era during which large-scale funding in Asian and other studies briefly allowed Sinology to flourish, after which a failure to understand the benefits of training in a non-spoken language reduced the opportunities for British students to the point where British Sinology is virtually extinct, and the willingness of scholars from elsewhere in Europe to engage with British university life is being sorely tried. The contributions of British Sinology, supported by Chinese and other incomers during its efflorescence, are briefly surveyed.

Abstract The tale of Korean Sinology is as dramatic as that of Korea itself, which has moved from being a faithful periphery of the Chinese civilization to a newly rising economic power in the modern world. This article begins with a survey of some distinctive features of premodern Korean scholarly works by the end of the Chosŏn dynasty from the perspective of Sinology. Then it moves on to modern scholarship, focusing mostly on the field of Chinese history, which I think is the most active and innovative among the several different fields in today's Korean Sinology. The history of Korean Sinology is a telling case study that illustrates how humanistic learning is deeply connected to fundamental aspects of a society's politics, economics, and culture at a given moment in time.
