Disputes over the "Dian-pu"佃僕 System in Hui-zhou 徽州 Prefecture in the Late Ming
No full textIn this article, the author discusses the aspects of disputes and lawsuits over the "dian-pu" (tenant/servant) system in Hui-zhou prefecture during the later half of the Ming period, mainly by analyzing the documents of Hui-zhou･"Dian-pu" were bound to particular landlords for generations, not only cultivating the land as tenants, but also performing various kinds of labour services, while landlords had to provide them with cultivated land, housing and graveyard. "Dian-pu"'s freedom of movement were restricted, and their social status were regarded as inferior to landlords. The main principle regulating the landlord-"dian-pu" relation was what the Chinese called "zhu-pu zhi fen" 主僕之分, meaning the distinction between master and servant. The author collected a total of 52 dispute cases concerning the "dian-pu" system, covering the years from 1487 to 1645, from various kinds of the Hui-zhou documents. Many of these disputes were caused by troubles over forested mountains and graveyard. Problems concerning the "dian-pu"'s labour obligations and their hereditary status also caused diverse conflicts. Of the 52 dispute cases, 15 cases were brought before the magistrate's court. Many of other 37 cases were settled in rural community by various mediators. In a few cases, landlords took part in the resolution of disputes which occurred among the same clan of "dian-pu". According to the Ming legal codes, commoner's families were prohibited to possess and use hereditary bond servants. But some lawsuit cases showed that local magistrates in Hui-zhou approved of the possession of bond servant not only by gentry families, but also by commoner's families. Judging from some legal cases, it is appeared that local magistrates in Hui-zhou generally made judicial judgement in accordance with the local custom of Hui-zhou, which emphasized the hereditary inferior social status of "dian-pu" based on the distinction between master and servant. By the early Ming, highly labour intensive agriculture was developed in Hui-zhou rural society. Powerful lineages who occupied much of agricultural resources, often recruited the immigrants or landless peasants to cultivate paddy land and forested mountains, and even asked them to perform various labour services. From the 16 th century, however, the development of commercial agriculture enabled a proportion of "dian-pu" to accumulate capital by planting all sorts of commercial products. Furthermore, many "dian-pu" accompanied their masters to trading area as managers or clerks, and sometimes succeeded to make some fortune. On the other hand, under the competitive and overpopulated circumstances of the Hui-zhou society in the late Ming, much more "dian-pu" who could not gain from the commercialization, were further reduced to poverty. A proportion of "dian-pu" who hoped to seize new economic opportunities and accomplish upward social mobility, often tried to break away from their hereditary status. On the other side, many impoverished "dian-pu" often attempted to escape from landlord's supervision. However, landlords generally did not approve their release from hereditary status. As a result, the stratification of "dian-pu" class further strained the landload- "dian-pu" relations, and disputes among them became more and more. This threatening situations finally brought about a large scale rebellion of militarized "dian-pu" and bond servants throughout Hui-zhou prefecture in the Ming-Qing transitional period
The politics of fashion: perceptions of power in female clothing and ornamentation as reflected in the sixteenth-century Chinese novel Jin Ping Mei
No full textThis thesis examines issues of female power and influence in sixteenth-century China focusing on how women and their roles were perceived in the changing social environment of the mid-late Ming dynasty. Using aspects of a New Historicist approach, information from contemporary literary and historical sources are analysed alongside each other. With its emphasis on the lives of women and preoccupation with the description of material objects, the late Ming novel Jin Ping Mei forms an important element in the thesis. China in the sixteenth century saw expanding urbanisation, the emergence of a new wealthy merchant class, increasing visibility of women and a questioning of traditional morality. Fashion consciousness, as one of the most conspicuous aspects of the new material culture, is a possible indicator of these trends. Traditional Western theories contend that fashion began in the particular context of Renaissance Europe. However, this study argues that a similar fashion awareness existed in China too, and was manifested in a competitive striving for social status, in this case specifically among women. In contrast to previous studies which downplayed the impact women had on defining traditional Chinese culture, this thesis demonstrates how women and their sartorial choices began to redefine the boundaries of material culture, influencing literati discourse which, in turn, re- influenced female behaviour

Xi'an'daki Hui Müslüman kimliği
No full textÇin’de İslam’a inanan on etnik grup vardır, bu gruplardan bir tanesinin adı Hui’dir. Bugün, Hui halkı neredeyse tüm Çin şehirlerinde bulunur, fakat çoğu Xi’an şehri dahil olmak üzere Çin’in kuzeybatı bölgelerinde yaşamaktadır.Bin yıldan fazla bir süre önce, bazı Araplar, Persler ve Orta Asya’daki Müslümanlar, iş ve eğitim nedeniyle Kara İpek Yolu ve Deniz İpek Yolu ile Çin’e gelmişler ve Çin’de yaşamaya başlamışlardır. Bu batıdan gelen Müslümanlar, bazı Çinli kadınlarla evlenmişler ve nesiller boyu Çin’de yerleşmişlerdir. Zamanla, onlar ve çocukları Çin kültürünü öğrenmeye çalışmışlar ve böylece onların “Çinlileşme” süreci de başlamıştır. Çin’deki Yuan (元) Hanedanlığı (MS 13. yüzyıl) döneminde, “Hui ataları” Çin hükümeti tarafından hanehalkı kayıt defterine kaydedilmiş ve Çin vatandaşı oldukları kabul edilmiştir. O zamandan itibaren, Hui ataları resmi olarak Çin vatandaşlığının bir parçası haline gelmiştir. Hui ataları, Çince ve geleneksel Çin Konfüçyüs kültürünü öğrenirken İslami inançlarından vazgeçmediler. Onun yerine, Hui halkının ataları, eğitim yoluyla İslami inançları ve kültürleri miras olarak aktarmaya çalıştılar.Çin’deki Ming (明) Hanedanlığı (M.S. 14. yüzyıl) döneminde, Hui grubu, kendi özel kültürüyle bağımsız bir ulus oldu. Hui’lerin Müslüman ve Çinli vatandaş olarak ikili kimlikleri, Hui kültürünün ikili özelliklerini belirler. Hui kültürü, İslam ve Çin kültürünün kaynaşmasının sonucudur. Başka bir deyişle, Hui kültürü hem İslam kültürünün içeriğine hem de Çin kültürünün içeriğine sahiptir.Peki, binlerce yıldır, Çin topraklarında hayatta kalan Hui halkı her zaman benzersiz kültürlerini ve kimliklerini nasıl koruyabilir? Bu tez, Hui halkının tarihinin, ekonomisinin, eğitiminin ve kültürünün dört ana yönünü tanıtıp, aynı zamanda “On Faktör”ün Hui grubu ve Hui kimliği oluşturulmasındaki rolü üzerine derin bir analiz yaparak, Çin’deki Hui Müslümanlarının kimliğini ve bu özel kimliği koruyabilmelerinin nedenlerini açıklamaya çalışmıştır.Giriş bölümü, bu tezin yazılması için teorik temeli oluşturan araştırma konusunu, amacını, yöntemlerini ve bu tezle ilgili teorik çerçeveyi ve kavramları tanıtmıştır. Etnik kimlik teorisine ek olarak bu tezin yazarı şunları önermektedir: etnik oluşum, ulusal kimlik inşası ve ulusal kimliğin korunması sürecinde savaş ve doğal afetler gibi dış ve nesnel faktörlere ek olarak, dini inançlar, kan ilişkileri, ulusal politikalar, ekonomi ve ticaret, eğitim stratejileri, dil ve yazı, halk kültürü, yerleşim yapısı ve etnik gruplar arası etkileşim çok önemli bir rol oynamıştır. Kısaltma: “Ulusal Kimliği Etkileyen On Faktör”.Ⅰ. Bölüm “Xi’an’daki Hui Müslümanların Tarihçesi”nde Hui’nin Çin’de oluşumu ve gelişiminin tarihçesi tanıtılmaktadır.Ⅱ. Bölüm “Xi’an’daki Hui Müslümanların Ekonomik Durumu”nda Çin’in farklı dönemlerinde Hui ekonomisinin gelişimi ve durumu tanıtılmaktadır.Ⅲ. Bölüm “Xi’an’daki Hui Müslümanların Eğitim Durumu”nda Çin tarihinde farklı dönemlerde Hui halkının eğitiminin farklı biçimleri ve içeriği ve bu eğitim formlarının ve içeriğinin Hui kültürünün oluşumu ve miras olarak aktarılması üzerindeki etkileri tanıtılmaktadır.Ⅳ. Bölüm “Xi’an’daki Hui Müslümanların Kültürel Gelenekleri”nde ahlâki özellikler, yaşam törenleri, bayramlar, gıda kültürleri, giysiler ve sanatlar olmak üzere altı açıdan Hui’lerin kültürel geleneklerinin içeriği ayrıntılı olarak tanıtılmaktadır.Ⅴ. Bölüm “Xi’an’daki Hui Müslüman Kimliğinin Kapsamlı Analizi”nde Hui halkının kimliğinin ikili özelliği, “On Faktör” arasındaki ilişkileri incelenip, Hui etnik grubunun oluşumunda, ulusal kimliğin inşasında ve kimliğin korunmasında “On Faktör” tarafından oynanan rol kapsamlı bir şekilde analiz edilmektedir.Bu tezin ana çerçevesi ve fikri bu şekildedir.Sonuç olarak tez yazarı, “On Faktör” perspektifinden “Çinli” ve “Müslüman” ikili kimliğini şekillendirmek ve korumak için Hui halkına yardım etmemiz gerektiğine inanmaktadır. Böylece Hui Müslümanlarının kimliğinin benzersizliği korunabilir. Çünkü Hui halkının bu özel kimliğinin oluşumu ve sürdürülmesi, Hui kültürünün korunması ve miras olarak aktarılması için çok önemlidir. Hui kültürü, Hui’nin bağımsız bir etnik grup olarak var olmasının temel nedenidir.There are ten ethnic groups in China that believe in Islam, one of them is Hui. Today, the people of Hui are located in almost all Chinese cities, but most of them live in the northwestern regions of China, including the city of Xi’an.More than a thousand years ago, for business and education reasons, some Arabs, Persians, and some Muslims in Central Asia through the Land Silk Road and Sea Silk Road, came to China and started living in China. These western Muslims married some Chinese women and settled in China for generations. Over time, they and their children tried to learn about Chinese culture; therefore, their “sinicization” process began.During the Yuan Dynasty (13th century AD) in China, the “Hui ancestors” were recorded into the household registration book by the Chinese government and considered to be Chinese citizens. Since then, Hui ancestors have officially become part of Chinese citizens. Hui ancestors did not give up their Islamic beliefs while learning Chinese and traditional Chinese Confucian culture. Instead, the ancestors of the Hui people tried to inherit Islamic beliefs and cultures through education.During the Ming Dynasty (14th century AD) in China, the Hui group became an independent nation with its own special culture. As a Muslim and a Chinese citizen, those dual identities of Hui people determine the dual characteristics of Hui culture. Hui culture is the result of the fusion of Islam and Chinese culture. In other words, Hui culture has both the content of Islamic culture and the content of Chinese culture.This thesis examines how the Hui people who have survived on the land of China always maintain their unique culture and identity for thousands of years. It introduced the four major aspects of the history, economy, education, and culture of the Hui people and also analyzed deeply the role of the “Ten Factors” in the formation of the Hui nationality and the identity of the Hui nationality, and tried to explain the identity of the Hui Muslims in China and the reasons why they can maintain this special identity.The introduction part introduced the research theme, methods and theoretical framework and concepts related to this thesis, which lays the theoretical foundation for the writing of this thesis. As a supplement to the theory of ethnic identity, the author proposes that in the process of ethnic formation, national identity construction, and the maintenance of national identity, in addition to external and objective factors such as war and natural disasters, religious beliefs, blood relations, national policies, economy and trade, education strategies, language and writing, folk culture, settlement structure and interaction between ethnic groups played a very important role. Short title: “Ten Major Factors Affecting National Identity”.The first part of the thesis “The History of Hui Muslims in Xi’an” introduced the history of the formation and development of the Hui people in China.The second part of the thesis “Economic Status of Hui Muslims in Xi’an” introduced the development and status of Hui economy in various periods.The third part of the thesis “Educational Status of Hui Muslims in Xi’an” introduced the different forms and contents of the education of the Hui people in different periods in Chinese history, and the influence of these Hui education forms and contents on the formation and inheritance of Hui culture.The fourth part of the thesis “Cultural Traditions of Hui Muslims in Xi’an” introduced the content of Hui culture traditions in detail from six aspects: moral characteristics, life ceremonies, festivals, food cultures, clothing and arts.In the fifth part of the thesis “Comprehensive Analysis of Hui Muslim Identity in Xi’an”, the author analyzes the dual characteristics of the Hui identity, analyzes the relationship between the “Ten Factors”, and comprehensively analyzes the role played by the “Ten Factors” in the formation of the Hui ethnic group, the construction of their national identity and the maintenance of their identity. These are the main frame and writing idea of this thesis.In the end, the author believes that we should help the Hui people to shape and maintain their dual identity of “Chinese” and “Muslim” from the perspective of “Ten Factors”, so as to maintain the uniqueness of the Hui identity. Because the formation and maintenance of the special identity of the Hui people is very important for the protection and inheritance of the Hui culture. The Hui culture is the fundamental reason why the Hui can exist as an independent ethnic nation in China
Self-assembly of lysozyme on the surfaces of gold nanoparticles
No full textThe interaction of lysozyme (Lys) and gold nanoparticles was investigated via UV-vis absorption and resonance light-scattering method. There are some changes of the plasmon absorption and resonance light-scattering of gold nanoparticles that were observed via the addition of Lys. The normalized plasmon absorption and resonance light-scattering intensity with gold nanoparticles were both linear with 1-20 nmol/L Lys. A simple model about the component of the gold nanoparticles and Lys complex was established and the calculated result was fitted well in their concentration ratio. Furthermore, the activity analysis of Lys showed that the interaction was weak and nondestructive. (C) 2011 Ming Hui Xiang. Published by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of Chinese Chemical Society.
