This essay examines wifely jealousy in mid-to-late Ming China (from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries), focusing on the tensions between maintaining a wife’s superior position over concubines and constraining a wife’s violence against her husband’s offspring as result of a woman’s jealous nature. By examining the Ming standard history (Mingshi) and Veritable Records of the Ming (Mingshilu), this article argues that jealous wives’ violence was policed by the state and was involved with the anxiety of producing heirs. Wifely jealousy was criminalized when it threatened the interest of producing sons for the patriarchal family. In contrast, wifely jealousy was celebrated as an expression of a deep, genuine emotion between the husband and the wife when it did not go against the mission of producing heirs and was considered acceptable under the accepted values of the moral system. Wives’ violence was sanctioned when it emerged from maintaining the hierarchical order between wives and concubines instead of jealousy; “non-jealous” wives maintained their authority over their husbands’ concubines and earned the respect of their husbands by actively bringing home concubines to serve the purpose of producing sons for the patriarchal household.

Images of Chan eccentrics were a popular artistic theme in East Asia from the eleventh century onwards. In the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), the theme was carried across the Eurasian continent to Persia. This article examines two fifteenth-century paintings of Chan eccentrics in Persian albums, currently in the Topkapi Palace Museum in Istanbul. It argues that the paintings are different both thematically and visually, and it explores them in the contexts of their specific albums and histories of collection and viewing. The article shows that each painting brings together visual and conceptual elements of many traditions, including Chinese, Persian and Eurasian traditions and Islamic mysticism. The paintings question common modes of art historical categorization. At the same time, they are evidence of lively artistic networks between Ming China and the Eurasian continent.

This article preliminarily analyzes a corpus of fifteenth-century Persianate paintings preserved in the Topkapi and Diez albums. It investigates the album paintings as the pictorial evidence to the Persianate first-hand encounter with Ming China. The paintings feature their emphasis on physiognomic verisimilitude of the painted figures and faithful description of their props and clothing. As a totality, they formulate the proto-ethnographic knowledge on China in the Persianate consciousness of this period. The last section on the representation of Chinese beauty, on the other hand, shows how pre-existing stereotyped imagination merged with the first-hand observation.

When Ted Farmer wrote his “News of the Field” piece for the first volume of Ming Studies in 1975, he described his vision for the journal as “an informal vehicle which will serve the needs of all who are interested in the Ming period”, adding that “In scope it will include such fields as history, the fine arts, philosophy and literature.” In Farmer’s recollection of that time, these were “the only four fields in which I could identify anyone writing in English.” Much has changed in the more than four decades that have passed since that first issue; this short introductory piece is not the place to present a comprehensive overview of the developments within the field of Ming Studies as a whole. It may be worthwhile, however, to reflect briefly on what “Ming Studies” has meant for much of that time, especially in terms of chronology, space and discipline. Of course, in a publishing environment where there are journals entitled T’ang Studies, Journal of Song Yuan Studies, and Late Imperial China, it might seem unproblematic that Ming Studies should cover the chronological period from 1368 to 1644. Looking through the titles of Ming Studies articles over the years, article authors do mostly that; there are relatively few articles that focus, for example, on the Yuan dynasty. There are reviews of books that deal with the Yuan, often written by Ming specialists such as John Dardess, as there are reviews of the books that John Dardess wrote about the Yuan dynasty, but no research articles that have “Yuan Dynasty” in their title. Chronologically speaking, then, for most of this journal’s past, the field of Ming Studies covered the study of the period between 1368 and 1644. The topics explored in the journal, whether these were of a literary, religious, philosophical or more broadly historical nature, were all drawn from within these chronological limits. In terms of space, too, the articles included in Ming Studies have remained within the clear boundaries of the Ming Empire: south of the Great Wall and the northern garrisons, east of Tibet and Assam, and on the land side of the maritime frontier. Of course, there are exceptions: familiar characters like Zheng He, seafarers and pirates make regular appearances in the pages of Ming Studies too. There are also articles on the world beyond Ming-controlled territory, such as studies of the SichuanTibetan frontier, or discussions of Ming foreign relations, such as those dealing with Ming–Mongol interactions. But on the whole, the articles in Ming Studies deal with the Han-Chinese world located within the borders such as they were established and maintained by the Ming Empire. The study of Ming China, the underlying assumption appears to be, had clear limits in terms of time and space for most of its publication history. In disciplinary terms, too, the articles in Ming Studies remained largely within certain precincts. Ted Farmer’s suggested fields: history, the fine arts, philosophy and literature, were for m

Following the fall of the Mongol Empire (c. 1206–1368) in both East and West Asia, Zhu Yuanzhang (Hongwu Emperor, r. 1368–1398), the founder of the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644) in China, Timur (r. 1370–1405), founder of the Timurid Empire (1370–1507) in Central Asia, and their successors used the legacy of the Chinggisid Mongols in different ways to lend an aura of power and legitimacy to their newly established courts. In this paper, I explore the cultural legacy of the Mongol Empire as manifested in the early Ming and Timurid courts, with a special interest in how continuing cultural exchange between the two courts impacted the arts produced in both places. In particular, I highlight how the ongoing incorporation of “foreign” motifs and techniques set the tone for the arts of both courts in the late fourteenth century.

Since the first edition of this book, the field of Body Sensor Networks (BSNs) has advanced rapidly. The original motivation of BSN was to harness allied technologies that underpin the development of pervasive sensing for healthcare, wellbeing, sports and other applications that require “ubiquitous” and “pervasive” monitoring of physical, physiological, and biochemical parameters in any environment without activity restriction and behaviour modification. The ultimate aim of BSN is therefore to provide a truly personalised monitoring platform that is pervasive, intelligent and context-aware, yet “invisible”, with applications ranging from managing patients with chronic disease and care for the elderly, to general well-being monitoring and performance evaluation in sports. To ensure its widespread use, there are many technical challenges that need to be tackled. These include the need for better sensor design, MEMS integration, biocompatibility, power source miniaturisation, low power wireless transmission, context awareness, secure data transfer and integration with smart therapeutic systems. In this second edition of the book, we have updated the chapters with the latest developments in the field, addressing sensor design, micro-electronics and information processing aspects of the system. Since its inception, the development of BSN has been focussed on both wearable and implantable sensors. In the last few decades, we have seen rapid advances in both chemical and biosensor developments. The emergence of new biological sensing modalities is fundamentally changing the way we apply biomeasurements in vivo. In terms of implantable sensing, many of the issues associated with the extension of biosensor technology from in vitro to in vivo applications have long been appreciated, and a number of practical issues are addressed in this book. In a BSN with limited bandwidth and power constraints, the conventional method of data acquisition and analogue-todigital data conversion with signal processing taking place after transmission is no longer optimal. A BSN represents a prime candidate for bio-inspired local processing to take place at the sensor front-end before transmission. This processing
