In the Ming, prefectural, judges always had some administrative duties beyond the hearing of cases. As is revealed in a late-Ming handbook for prefectural judges, by the end of the Ming period those additional duties had expanded beyond prefectural boundaries and in many cases had led to prefectural judges serving as assistants to the regional inspector in the evaluation of local and regional officials. This paper traces the development of the role of prefectural judge from the founding of the dynasty in 1368, the expansion of his responsibilities over time, the debates over the changes, and how the support of the regional inspector became such an important role by the early seventeenth century. This account also serves to illustrate how the practice of local and regional administration changed over the course of the Ming dynasty.

Knowledge of the development and evolution of the neural crest sheds light on many of the oldest questions in developmental and evolutionary biology. What is the role of germ layers in early embryogenesis? How does the nervous system develop? How does the vertebrate head arise developmentally, and how did it arise evolutionarily? How did the vertebrate dorsal nervous system, heart, skeleton, teeth (and the neural crest itself) originate? How do growth factors and Hox genes direct cell differentiation and embryonic patterning? What goes wrong if development is misdirected by mutations, or if embryos are exposed to exogenous agents such as drugs, alcohol, or excess vitamin A (retinoic acid)? Twenty years ago, I was instrumental in organizing the publication of a facsimile reprint of the classic monograph by Sven Hörstadius, The Neural Crest: Its properties and derivatives in the light of experimental research, originally published in 1950. Included with the reprint was an analysis of subsequent studies on the neural crest and its derivatives. A decade later, the first edition of this book was published (Hall, 1999a). The explosion of interest in and knowledge of the neural crest over the past decade prompted me to write this second edition. As in my 1988 overview of the reprinting of ‘Hörstadius’—as his book is known to many—and as in the first edition of this book, I take a broad approach in dealing with the discovery, embryological and evolutionary origins, migration, differentiation and cellular derivatives of the neural crest. Cells from the neural crest are associated with many developmental abnormalities, many of which have their origins in a defective neural crest (NC) or in defective neural crest cells (NCCs). The book would be incomplete without discussing neurocristopathies—those tumors and syndromes involving NCCs or those birth defects in which NCCs play a role. The book is organized into three parts. Part I (Discovery and Origins) begins with a chapter devoted to the discovery of the neural crest and the impact of that discovery on entrenched notions of germlayer specificity and the germ-layer theory, a theory that placed a straitjacket around embryology and evolution for almost a century. Primary and secondary neurulation and the neural crest as the fourth germ layer are introduced in this chapter. In Chapter 2, I discuss the embryological origins of the neural crest, including the identification of future NCCs in gastrula-stage embryos; molecular and cellular

I should begin with my early years because significant influences took place when I was quite young. I come from a really nondescript small town in western Washington state, and my family was not academic. My brother and I were the first in our family to go to college, so over the years I’ve frequently had something like the following question put to me: “How did a nice girl like you end up doing this Chinese stuff?” I’ve thought about my answer to this question quite a bit. My somewhat unusual orientations had their roots very early in life. For me, the earliest realization that I could marginally call “intellectual” had to do with language. It was the discovery, when I was in early grade school, that the process of learning a foreign language was not just memorizing an alternative English word. I realized that languages were patterns, and it dawned on me that different languages reflected different ways of looking at the world. It was an astounding discovery: reality as I knew it was not a given. We slice and dice our sense of reality and organize these slices and dices in different ways. We use verbal languages, as well as nonverbal ones like musical and mathematical languages, for instance, to express different apprehensions of reality. So the relationship between language and reality struck me as very fluid. That kind of interest accompanied me into high school in the early 1960s, when “pop Zen” à la Gary Snyder was in the air and, somehow related to that, I first learned something of semantics and could put a label on what had always interested me. When I went to college at the University of Washington (UW), I discovered to my delight that I could take an introductory course on semantics, using the classic textbook by S. I. Hayakawa. As a result, I became determined to gain fluency in a language, and preferably also a writing system, that was completely different than what I had been formed by within the Indo-European language group. This was part of rebellious me in the rebellious 1960s. I was really bothered by the notion that the way I thought about the world had been pre-formed by the language I had grown up speaking— that my mind had been prearranged! As long as I stayed within the Indo-European languages, I would be stuck in the same patterns. Nobody had asked my preference in this! I’d had no chance to choose either my parents or the language I was born into! I discovered that the UW had one of nine full-range programs in the country in East Asian languages. So, at the beginning of my sophomore Ming Studies, 77, 48–56, May 2018

ity and aplomb; Zhang Jing, for example, does a fine job of presenting Sessions 5 and 6 in fluid and natural English, and Robert Hegel and Xu Yunjing handle skilfully the poetry in Session 10. Just occasionally, however, the translation falls short of an elegant and fully idiomatic rendering of Aina’s expressive yet economical language. Part of the problem is that the translators tend to favour a rather literal translation, when sometimes a more creative solution is called for. For example, the line 始知小弟之言,不似那蘇東坡姑妄言之、姑妄聽之一類話也 (p. 58: “You’ll know that my story isn’t what Su Shi called ‘speaking with reckless words, listening as if it were reckless words’”) might have been more helpfully rendered as “You’ll know that my story is not the kind of tall tale that Su Shi said can’t be taken too seriously”. And if one wants to make the book truly come alive for the English reader, a description such as 挺著那件海狗腎的東西相似 (p. 167: “thrusting with that thing like the testicles of a seal”) surely invites a translation along the lines of “thrusting with a pecker the size of a seal’s penis”. It is also unfortunate that some lines for which Hanan or Wu provided an excellent translation are here given an inferior treatment. In Session 9, for example, “Hearing this filled me with panic” (p. 134; the original text reads 在下一聞此言,不覺十分驚駭) does not capture what is meant nearly as well as Hanan’s simple “I was astonished”. In Session 1, “Now, in the entire world, there are only two ferry crossings haunted by jealous women. The one you just heard about in Shandong sounds pretty common. Let me tell you about one that was really fierce” (p. 14; the Chinese reads妒婦 津天下卻有兩處,這山東的看來也只平常,如今說的才是利害哩) is wordy and awkward compared with Wu’s rendering: “There are actually two ‘Jealous Wife Fords’. The one in Shandong seems pretty run-of-the-mill, but the one I’m going to tell you about is truly formidable”. Although one may quibble about the translators’ word choice here and there, this is a perfectly serviceable English edition of Aina’s stories that can be profitably read and consulted by all who are interested in Chinese vernacular fiction and early Qing responses to dynastic change. Its publication is much to be welcomed.
