This essay challenges the methodological nationalism inherent in guoxue by showing that it is possible to construct alternative subjects of knowledge. To this end, it explores the content and historical development of Hakkaology (Kejiaxue). This discipline challenges guoxue in two ways: firstly, it posits a likewise ethnically defined, but distinct subject of knowledge that is both seen as part of the Chinese nation and as unique. It thus raises the question of the unity and diversity of Chinese national culture, while equally encompassing a transnational and global dimension. Secondly, the historical development of Hakkaology encompasses several layers of both national and local as well as Western knowledge. In contrast to the way that guoxue is constructed, Hakkaology appeared as intimately bound up with transnational cultural flows from its very beginnings.

In the 16th century, Western Catholic missionaries arrived in China to propagate the Christian faith. In order to accommodate, assimilate with and blend into the new culture’s setting, they first intentionally imitated it and adopted the same language and lifestyle. Commenting on this process, Paul Rule notes that some Chinese literati served as xianggong (assistant) to help the Western missionaries with the daily matters of sinicisation. Although they played a significant role, they were not widely acknowledged. As Rule asserts, the xianggong were the Catholic Chinese literati of the 17th century. They used their excellent command of the Chinese language to hold full-time jobs in the Church assisting European Catholic priests with translation and writing. The author elucidates the role of the xianggong, uncovering their outstanding achievements as well as acknowledging their proper and deserved prominence in history by introducing a number of xianggong in form of case studies.

Taking inspiration from Soviet scholarship and South Asian parallels, this article proposes a new interpretation of the compositional regularities in certain philosophical texts from ancient China. It argues that such texts are underpinned by mechanisms of aural and mnemonic reinforcement that contributed to the fixation of textual compositions and facilitated the creation of stable discursive spaces for communities distributed in space and time. The sophisticated structural patterning can be seen as a technological alternative to writing and literacy, providing another platform for advanced textuality. Visualisation of the non-linear compositional structures pioneered by Vladimir Spirin, a Soviet scholar of ancient Chinese texts, makes them more comprehensible to the contemporary reader, and this approach holds much potential if combined with modern dynamic hypertext technology.

Maps, nautical accounts and geographical works of the Ming period often refer to Nantingshan 南亭山 and Nantingmen 南亭門. Both locations were key sites for Chinese navigation. While it is possible to identify the first site with modern Da Wanshandao 大萬山島, an island in the Wanshan liedao 萬山列島, the identification of Nantingmen remains difficult. The present article examines diverse references to both places, trying to explain why they were important and how we should deal with them. This makes it necessary to also consider other nearby islands and spaces, and to discuss certain commercial, administrative and cultural aspects. Portuguese sources provide additional data, but the navigational priorities of the Portuguese were different from those of their Ming counterparts, which is addressed in the final part of this study.

Chan Wing-ming 陳永明
The deeds and words of the well-known Ming–Qing historical figure Qian Qianyi (1582–1664), as well as his name, suddenly turned into taboos in local histories during the high Qing due to the Qianlong emperor’s condemnation of Qian for serving two dynasties. Nevertheless, the sources in the gazetteers reveal that the imperial measures could hardly achieve the emperor’s goal, neither eradicating the non-censored publications during the Qianlong literary inquisition nor prohibiting the use of Qian’s works in the gazetteers compiled after the edict. This phenomenon discloses how everyday resistance was practiced by some local Chinese literati during and after the Qianlong reign in their struggle against the cultural hegemony of the imperial court.
