ABSTRACT In the Qing dynasty, the diary-form for intelligence gathering was perfected by Tulišen, whose travelogue to Central Asia allowed the Kangxi emperor’s “imperial eyes” to assume vicarious witness to that heroic journey. Prior to China’s stationing of resident ministers abroad in 1876, envoy journals similar to Tulišen’s were commonly used for information gathering. In the next three decades, the genre of envoy communication became a fertile field for trials and experimentations, as Qing diplomats adjusted their method of communication to the changing needs of the state and the prevalent media and information technology. When the Qing dynasty established China’s first bureau of foreign affairs (Waiwubu) in 1901, the modern-style “foreign office” required radically new genres for diplomatic communication, which prioritized systemization, standardization, and a complete elimination of subjective experience. These diplomatic reports, akin to Western-style bluebooks, were separated from classified information and thus designed for domestic circulation. Tracing the evolution in diplomatic communications from late imperial China to the turn of the twentieth century, this paper seeks to unpack how new views of the foreign were shaped by new genres, new media, and new diplomatic institutions.
在清朝,Tulišen完善了情报收集的日记形式,他的中亚游记让康熙皇帝的“帝王之眼”代替了他的英雄之旅。在1876年中国驻海外公使之前,通常使用类似Tulišen的使节日志来收集信息。在接下来的三十年里,随着清朝外交官根据国家不断变化的需求以及流行的媒体和信息技术调整他们的沟通方法,使节沟通类型成为了试验和实验的沃土。1901年,清朝设立了中国第一个外事局(外事部),现代风格的“外事局”需要全新的外交沟通体裁,它优先考虑系统化、规范化和完全消除主观经验。这些外交报告类似于西式蓝皮书,与机密信息分开,因此是为国内流通而设计的。本文追溯了从帝制晚期到20世纪之交中国外交传播的演变,试图揭示新流派、新媒体和新外交机构是如何塑造对外国的新看法的。

ABSTRACT Du Fengzhi, a county magistrate in Guangdong province in the late Qing dynasty, recorded hundreds of legal cases in his diary. In addition to the details of cases and the process of dealing, he also recorded his own observations, doubts, analyses, judgments and deliberations. The diary reflected not only how he dealt with cases, but also the reasons for his decisions. From the diary, we know that Du’s actual judicial power far exceeded the provisions of the Qing law. However, the judicial resources he possessed and the political and social reality he faced often made it difficult for him to deal with legal cases abiding by the statute law, and in many cases the truth could not even be found at all. Therefore, he often ignored the evidence of the case and dealt with them in violation of law. His first consideration was to maintain his position in the officialdom, safeguard his own economic interests and reduce trouble. He also paid attention to the unwritten rules of officialdom and the comments of local gentries. In some cases, he showed his compassion for the poor, orphans and the widowed as well. This article discusses two cases in detail to reflect Du’s various deliberations in dealing with legal cases.
清末广东县令杜凤之在日记中记录了数百起案件。除了记录案件的细节和处理过程外,他还记录了自己的观察、疑惑、分析、判断和审议。日记不仅反映了他如何处理案件,而且还反映了他作出决定的原因。从日记中我们得知,杜的实际司法权远远超出了清法的规定。然而,他所拥有的司法资源和他所面临的政治社会现实往往使他难以按照成文法处理法律案件,甚至在许多案件中根本找不到真相。因此,他经常无视案件证据,违法处理。他首先考虑的是维护自己的官场地位,维护自己的经济利益,减少麻烦。他还注意官场的不成文规则和地方士绅的评论。在某些情况下,他也对穷人、孤儿和寡妇表示同情。本文通过两个案例的详细论述,反映杜在处理法律案件时的各种思考。

ABSTRACT The government decision-making in the middle and late Qing Dynasty was mainly shown in the process of how government documents and memorials to the emperor were dealt with. Officials who were authorized with the right to submit memorials to the emperor drafted reports on the state affairs to ask for permissions or offer their own opinions, and the emperor replied to them with absolute power. In the late Qing, the Grand Council (Junjichu), the Six Boards (Bu), Zongli Yamen and other institutions were frequently consulted during the two periods of the empress dowagers’ “administering the state affairs behind the curtain” (chui lian ting zheng), so the higher officials’ role in dealing with state affairs gradually increased. The monarch’s routine approval of higher officials’ suggestions made these institutions to a large extent participated in the daily decision-making. However, the monarch’s authority of final decision-making remained unchanged until the establishment of Yuan Shikai’s cabinet in November 1911 when all government affairs followed the cabinet orders. Then the monarch’s decision-making power became void, and the Qing was actually turned into a constitutional monarchy.
清代中后期的政府决策,主要表现在政府公文和御书的处理过程中。被授予给皇帝上书权的官员们起草国家大事的报告,请求允许或提出自己的意见,皇帝以绝对的权力回答他们。晚清皇太后“幕后施政”的两个时期,军机处、六部、宗理衙门等机构经常被征询意见,高层官员在处理国家事务中的作用逐渐增强。君主对上级官员建议的例行批准使这些机构在很大程度上参与了日常决策。这时君主的决策权就失去了效力,清朝实际上变成了君主立宪制国家。

ABSTRACT In the late Qing, due to frequent large-scale wars, the Board of Revenue (hubu) and provincial treasuries were often in a state of great difficulties, struggling to support the wartime needs. After the central government was forced to delegate the authority of fundraising, tax collection and expenditure to the provinces, the provincial governments had to rely on themselves to relieve financial difficulties. Hence, within the centralized and unified traditional fiscal system, the provincial finance was getting stronger, forming the new pattern that the central and provincial governments had equal control of finance. The allocation system of the national financial resources changed from the direct appropriation of funds from the Board of Revenue to the appropriation according to needs of provinces based on consultations with the provinces. In the later period of the Guangxu reign, the central government actively introduced the western fiscal budget system in order to solve the financial problems and prevent chaos. In revenue and expenditure, the Qing government adhered to the traditional principle of “adjusting expenditure according to the income” (liang ru wei chu), while in the wartime or when the demand of funds substantially increased due to the enforcement of the New Policy Reform, it became trapped in the predicament between the traditional principle and the new principle of “adjusting income according to the expenditure” (liang chu wei ru). When the modern budget system was implemented in the late Qing, the central government resolutely put into effect the above two principles into practical budgetary planning, trying to balance between the steady and the positive policies for expanding financial resources. However, the fiscal reform failed to save the Qing government from ultimate falling after the 1911 Revolution started.
晚清时期,由于频繁的大规模战争,税务府和各省的国库常常处于极度困难的状态,难以支撑战时的需要。在中央政府被迫将筹资、收税和支出的权力下放给各省后,各省政府不得不依靠自己来缓解财政困难。因此,在集中统一的传统财政体制下,省级财政实力不断增强,形成了中央与省级政府平分财政大权的新格局。国家财政资源的分配制度由税收局直接拨付改为在与各省协商的基础上根据各省的需要拨付。光绪后期,中央政府为了解决财政问题,防止混乱,积极引进西方财政预算制度。在收支方面,清政府坚持“按收入调整支出”的传统原则,而在战时或由于新政的实施,资金需求大幅增加时,它陷入了“按支出调整收入”的传统原则与“按支出调整收入”的新原则之间的困境。清末实行现代预算制度时,中央政府果断地将上述两项原则落实到实际的预算规划中,力图在稳健与积极的政策之间取得平衡,以扩大财政资源。然而,辛亥革命爆发后,财政改革未能挽救清政府的最终垮台。

ABSTRACT Following the Bandung Conference held in 1955, China and Africa strengthened their contacts, and the provision of assistance to Africa gradually became an important part of China’s diplomacy. In light of its uncompromising support for African national liberation movements, China’s assistance programs to Africa targeted promoting African countries’ independence and self-reliance, including a variety of forms of assistance to support African countries in various fields such as agricultural cultivation, primary industrial development, and medical and health care. After China’s Reform and Opening Up in 1978, its assistance to Africa adjusted accordingly in terms of its guiding ideology and implementation methods. Assistance to Africa encouraged China-Africa cooperation to become deeper, China’s policy itself was given higher expectations, and its history deserves study.
1955年万隆会议以后,中非加强了交往,对非援助逐渐成为中国外交的重要组成部分。基于对非洲民族解放运动的坚定支持,中国对非援助以促进非洲国家独立自主为目标,在农业种植、初级工业发展、医疗卫生等领域提供多种形式的援助。1978年改革开放后,中国对非援助在指导思想和实施方式上进行了相应调整。对非援助促进了中非合作的深化,中国的政策本身也被赋予了更高的期待,中国的历史值得借鉴。

Dreaming of a Three Gorges dam amid the troubles of Republican China 在民国的麻烦中梦想着三峡大坝

ABSTRACT This article examines Republican-era efforts to turn the Yangzi River into an engine of national development by building the Three Gorges Dam (abbreviated as TGD). Beginning with Sun Yat-sen’s initial proposal in 1919 and ending with a Sino-American attempt in the 1940s, it analyzes how Chinese and foreign actors went about developing such a dream. Every endeavor ran into a similar problem: China did not have the industrial, administrative, or financial capacity to accommodate the gargantuan hydraulic feat, an issue which critics repeatedly raised. Undeterred, the dam’s backers pushed for China to overcome a domestic lack of capital by collaborating with foreign technocrats. A joint venture would purportedly benefit both China and foreigners by not only facilitating trade with inland areas and producing a huge monument to the powers of modern engineering, but also because the dam’s immense electrical output would boost China’s transformation into an industrial powerhouse, one that would increasingly desire foreign goods. Although the Three Gorges Dam was not realized in the Republican Period, Chinese and foreign actors continued to pursue their infrastructure dream in order to fuel national industrialization on both sides of the Taiwan Straits during the Cold War.
摘要本文考察了民国时期通过修建三峡大坝使长江成为国家发展引擎的努力。从1919年孙中山的最初提议开始,到20世纪40年代中美的尝试结束,本书分析了中国和外国演员是如何实现这样一个梦想的。每一次努力都遇到了一个类似的问题:中国没有工业、行政或财政能力来容纳庞大的水利工程,这是批评者反复提出的一个问题。大坝的支持者没有被吓倒,他们敦促中国通过与外国技术官僚合作来克服国内资金不足的问题。据称,合资企业将使中国和外国人都受益,因为它不仅促进了与内陆地区的贸易,建造了一座现代工程力量的巨大纪念碑,而且还因为大坝巨大的电力输出将推动中国向工业强国的转型,而中国将越来越需要外国商品。虽然三峡大坝在民国时期没有实现,但中国和外国参与者在冷战期间继续追求他们的基础设施梦想,以推动台湾海峡两岸的国家工业化。

ABSTRACT English writing was an important medium for Sun Yat-sen to promote his revolutionary ideas and seek foreign support. In 1896, Sun’s kidnapping and imprisonment in London caught great public attention. Being slandered and misunderstood on his desertion from the Guangzhou Uprising and his unpermitted entry into the Legation, Sun wrote in English Kidnapped in London, “China’s Present and Future,” and “Judicial Reform in China” in collaboration with his friends James Cantlie and Edwin Collins after his release from the Legation. In these works, Sun recorded the cause and effect of the Guangzhou Uprising, exposed the corruption of the rule and the darkness of justice in the Qing court, and expounded his revolutionary ideal of learning from the West and reforming China. The publication and dissemination of these works changed Westerners’ attitudes towards Sun: they saw him as a revolutionary with Western cultural background and political consciousness rather than a common rebel and political offender. The English writing of Sun’s thoughts dictated by himself and written by someone else not only constituted personal characteristics of his revolutionary career but also reflected the connection and interaction between Chinese and foreign politics in the era of globalization.
英文写作是孙中山宣传革命思想、寻求外援的重要媒介。1896年,孙在伦敦被绑架和监禁引起了公众的极大关注。由于他脱离广州起义和未经允许进入公使馆而遭到诽谤和误解,孙在公使馆获释后,与朋友詹姆斯·坎特利和埃德温·柯林斯合作,用英文撰写了《在伦敦被绑架的中国的现在和未来》和《中国的司法改革》。在这些作品中,孙记录了广州起义的前因后果,揭露了清廷统治的腐败和正义的黑暗,阐述了他学习西方、改造中国的革命理想。这些作品的出版和传播改变了西方人对孙的态度:他们认为他是一个具有西方文化背景和政治意识的革命者,而不是一个普通的叛逆者和政治罪犯。孙中山思想的自述与代写的英文书写,不仅构成了孙中山革命生涯的个人特征,也反映了全球化时代中外政治的联系与互动。

In these works, Sun recorded the cause and effect of the Guangzhou Uprising, exposed the corruption of the rule and the darkness of justice in the Qing court, and expounded his revolutionary ideal of learning from the West and reforming China. The publication and dissemination of these works changed Westerners’ attitudes towards Sun: they saw him as a revolutionary with Western cultural background and political consciousness rather than a common rebel and political offender. The English writing of Sun’s thoughts dictated by himself and written by someone else not only constituted personal characteristics of his revolutionary career but also reflected the connection and interaction between Chinese and foreign politics in the era of globalization.","PeriodicalId":41223,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Chinese History","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88204846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT “Liberalism” has served often as an analytical concept in Chinese intellectual history. In this paper, I use this term to refer to the thinking of a group of “open-minded” and unorthodox thinkers who espoused progressive and/or radical opinions about institutional reforms for nineteenth century China. To a certain extent, these reformers’ political thinking had features similar to some that are found in J. S. Mill’s liberalism – namely, political participation, popular initiative, free enterprise, religious toleration, individualism, and commitment to long-term moral ideals.
在中国思想史上,“自由主义”一直是一个分析性的概念。在本文中,我用这个词来指代一群“思想开放”和非正统的思想家,他们对19世纪中国的制度改革持进步和/或激进的观点。在某种程度上,这些改革家的政治思想与穆勒的自由主义有相似之处,即政治参与、民众主动性、自由企业、宗教宽容、个人主义和对长期道德理想的承诺。
