Ming maritime governance and the Suppression of Lin Feng
No full textPiracy in Ming China during the 1560s and 1570s, while not frequently discussed, posed a unique maritime problem for officials to tackle. One threat they faced in this period was Lin Feng (active 1568–1580s), a pirate appearing on the coasts of Guangdong and Fujian provinces since the early Longqing period (1567–1572). Lin Feng was constantly seen clashing with the Ming military and had considerable influence; in 1574, he even sailed to Luzon, part of the modern-day Philippines, and appointed himself as the lord there. Eventually, he was evicted back to the Ming coasts, where the military suppressed his forces in 1576, early in the reign of the Wanli emperor (1572–1620). Previous scholars have noted Lin Feng’s trans-local impacts and portrayed him as a cultural broker between imperial China and the Philippines. What they neglected to do, however, was treat the conflicts and encounters he shared with officials as instances of Ming maritime governance.
To revisit the case of Lin Feng from a political perspective, this thesis uses records from gazetteers, Ming shilu, memorials, legal codes, and letters. It places him with Longqing and Wanli officials to trace the complex processes through which officials reached their decisions. This thesis presents four seemingly separate incidents involving Lin Feng and various Ming officials that became the milestones of the Suppression of Lin Feng, the campaign to eliminate his forces. Each of the officials discussed in these examples came from diverse backgrounds with varying levels of prestige. Yet they were all, as this thesis argues, motivated by two kinds of factors interwoven with each other: structural—the broader political, geographic, social, and economic contexts as well as the experience of their predecessors—and personal—opportunities to keep their careers or elevate their statuses while gaining material benefits. Making this argument can help this thesis highlight the paramount roles that officials played in this campaign and, in doing so, offer new understandings of Lin Feng as a historical character and position county and provincial-level officials as being integral to creating and enforcing policies for Ming maritime governance.Arts, Faculty ofHistory, Department ofGraduat

Ussuriana fani subsp. wangi Gu & Bi & Lin & Hsu 2019, subsp. nov.
No full textUssuriana fani wangi Gu, Bi & Hsu, subsp. nov. Type materials. Holotype. ♂: CHINA: BEIJING, Mentougou, Baihuashan, reared from Fraxinus bungeana, emgd. 10. VI. 2011, Coll. Y. Gu (IOZ). Paratypes. 1♂ 2♀♀, same locality as for holotype, reared from F. bungeana, emgd. 5–9. VI. 2011, Coll. Y. Gu; 1♂ 1♀, same locality as for holotype, 11. VII. 2011; 2♀♀, same locality as for holotype, 30. VI. 2013, reared from F. bungeana, emgd. 14. VI. –3. VII. 2013, Coll. Y. Gu (IOZ, NTNU, and Gu collection). Description. Male (Figs. 2–3): FL 15.8–19.1 mm (n = 3). Head: vertex hairy, dark brown mixed with white, frons covered by dark brown scalings, edged by white bands laterally; a white, narrow rim surrounding eye; eye semi-oval, naked; labial palpus porrect, with 3rd segment pointed downwards, dark brown with 3rd segment white; antenna smoothly scaled, naked at terminal end of nudum, darked brown banded with white. Thorax: dark brown dorsad, white ventrad; legs white, banded with brown. Forewing: Termen, costa slightly concave, dorsum straight. Ground color of upperside dark brown, a faint, orange discal patch present. Fringe mostly brown. Ground color of underside yellow. Submarginal band and parafocal element as defined by Nijhout (1991) fused into prominent, orange band edged with dark brown scalings and white crescents along inner margin, and faint, white spots along outer margin. Hindwing: Cu 2 bearing long, “tail”-like projection, dark brown with white tip. Ground color of underside dark brown. A prominent orange band present around tornus. Ground color of underside yellow. Submarginal band and parafocal element as defined by Nijhout (1991) similar to those of forewing, but a prominent dark brown spot in Cu 1. Additional dark brown spot present at tornus. Fringe white, prominent. Abdomen: dark brown dorsad, white ventrad. Female (Figs. 4–5): FL 15.4–19.3 mm (n = 5). Body, wing patterns of underside as described for male. Ground color of wing upperside dark brown with orange markings more prominent than those of male. On forewing, orange patch covering over half of area; on hindwing, a prominent orange band along termen. Phenology and immatures. Univoltine. Adult is on the wing in summer (July). Ovum (Figs. 6–7) is laid singly on twig of the hostplant, overwintering in this form. Larva devours soft buds and leaves of the hostplant in spring. Mature larva (Figs. 8) is green with a red dorsal line, with spiracles dark brown. Pupa (Figs. 9) is of regular lycaenid form, brown in color, with abdomen enlarged. Diagnosis. U. fani wangi ssp. nov. can be distinguished from the other subspecies of U. fani by the following features: 1) the orange patch on the forewing upperside in male is greatly reduced in wangi ssp. nov., whereas it is prominent in the other subspecies; 2) in wangi ssp. nov., hindwing upperside is dark brown with prominent orange band along termen, whereas in other subspecies, orange band is faint and reduced when ground color is dark brown. Hostplant. To date, only Fraxinus bungeana (Oleaceae) is known to serve as the larval hostplant. Distribution. So far only known from the type locality at elevations from 1300 to 1500 m. The type locality is located at the northern end of Taihangshan, a mountain range running north-south, approximately 400 kilometers in length. The type locality is approximately 800km from the closest other known populations of U. fani. Etymology. The subspecific name is given in honor of Mr. Chun-hao Wang, a prominent butterfly investigator who has made significant contributions to the knowledge on the butterfly fauna of northern China.Published as part of Gu, Yu, Bi, Ming-Lei, Lin, Rung-Juen & Hsu, Yu-Feng, 2019, On a New Subspecies of Ussuriana fani Koiwaya (Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae Theclini) Discovered from northern China, pp. 481-488 in Zootaxa 4701 (5) on pages 484-486, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4701.5.8, http://zenodo.org/record/355943
The tale of Lady Tan: negotiating place between Central and local in Song-Yuan-Ming China
Get PDFThis paper explores the story of Lady Tan across genres from biographical record to temple inscription and marvellous tale, highlighting different representations of ‘the local’ in these stories: the loss of local belonging for some, inscribing the morals of a local community for others. Focusing on this tale, this essay argues that locality and belonging were contested constructs, especially during the Song-Yuan-Ming transitional period. Ex-ploring how literati understood themselves in relation to their localities contributes to our understanding of literati identities and the meaning of ‘the local’, in a period with ‘weak central government’, or as a repeating pattern of centralisation and localisation. It reveals the complexities in-volved in giving meaning to locality and negotiating belonging. In Ji'an prefecture, the centralising policies of the Hongwu and Yongle emperors were felt locally and affected how literati positioned themselves between central government and local community. This focus on literati writings from a single prefecture suggests that a close reading of the negotiations that form part of constructing locality and belonging in Ji'an can reveal the potential for a complex interplay between central government and local communities throughout China
