drew on political notions and supportive narratives scattered in works by “proto-daoxue historians” such as Sima Guang and Zhao Ruyu (defined on pp. 168–69), as well as non-daoxue historians, including Li Tao and Li Xinchuan. Whereas in these pre-daoxue historical works, there were still tensions between these authors’ historian identity and their political agenda, the tensions dissolved in daoxue histories, started by Zhu Xi, systemized by Chen Jun, and finalized by Lü Zhong. They embraced and developed a daoxue historiography that repackaged and readjusted historical narratives to construct pedagogical histories for moral admonishment (chapter 4). This daoxue historiography was intentionally adopted by Toghto and his Chinese political allies when they had the Song History compiled as their means to triumph in political struggles against the Mongol nativist faction. The second part tracks the formation of the three major themes of the grand allegory—fluorescence of Renzong’s reign, a benevolent foundation set by Taizu, and a lineage of Nefarious ministers. The first two themes grew out of late Northern Song and Early Southern Song politics, particularly “the arrival of the Jurchen, the decline of the New Policies, and the liberation of Yuanyou learning” (p. 286). The concept of a lineage of evil took shape “in the efforts to reimplement literati governance after the assassination of Han Tuozhou in 1207” (p. 314) and shaped by rhythmic repressions of daoxue scholar-officials by autocratic governments. If the first two themes represent the positive forces, the third theme contrasts them with manifestations of negative counterforce. These themes constituted a historiographical scheme of explanatory cyclicity, at the heart of which was the constant struggles between Confucian literati and technocrats. Hartman proposes that an understanding of this dynamic, in turn, would help scholars with critical reading of Song sources free from the grand allegorical framework. Overall, this book not only successfully demonstrates the historiographical process of the making of the Song history but also reveals that the Song was by no means “an age of Confucian rule”; rather, the governance was characterized by competing modalities—which will be the subject of a second volume worth looking forward to.

Much has been written about the role of ‘shamanism’ in the making of Mongol kinship. This article aims to explore the role of Buddhism in constructing kinship, which has received less scholarly attention. In particular, I investigate the ways the ‘anti-family’ orientation of Buddhism was propagated in Buryat society, which had assigned great social importance to kinship networks. In didactic texts compiled by Buryat lamas for the laity in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, lamas argued that, despite the impermanent character of kinship, kinship bonds nevertheless were to be arranged in a proper way to avoid multiplying sins. However, lamas did not offer a ready model or a special Buddhist ideal of the family organisation. Like in other regional contexts, Buddhist ethics were adapted to the existing cultural traditions and mostly emphasised proper roles and responsibilities in conjugal and parent-child relationships.

Igor de Rachewiltz was an irreplaceable classical scholar in Mongolian Studies and a gentleman with many stories and wits. His work covers a wide range of topics from the world conqueror Chinggis Khan to epic hero Geser, from Sino-Mongolian relation to East and West cultural exchange. This paper attempts to highlight some of his contribution to the scholarly field and provide some insights to his work and personality based on interviews and my own experience working with him.

Among the core elements of the Manchukuo Military, a puppet force created in northeast China in 1932 by the Japanese Kwantung army, were units from eastern Inner Mongolia, also known as the Xing’an province. These Inner Mongols played a role in the Manchukuo Military far beyond their ratio of the total population, and many of the military officers participated in establishing a pro-Communist regime in Xing’an after the Japanese surrender. An examination of the early history, establishment, and collapse of these forces is vital for a clear understanding of twentieth-century northeast China and Inner Mongolia. This article focuses on the motivations of the Mongols in the Manchuria Incident, the formation of the Japanese-Mongol military collaboration and the reasons for the military insurrection against the Japanese.
