The tale of Lady Tan: negotiating place between Central and local in Song-Yuan-Ming China
No full textThis 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

Ji'an literati and the local in Song-Yuan-Ming China
No full textDrawing on largely local sources, including local gazetteers and literati inscriptions for religious sites, this book offers a comprehensive examination of what it means to be 'local' during the Southern Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties in Ji'an prefecture (Jiangxi). It argues that 'belonging locally' was important to Ji'an literati throughout this period. How they achieved that, however, changed significantly. Southern Song and Yuan literati wrote about religious sites from within their local communities, but their early Ming counterparts wrote about local temples from their posts at the capital, seeking to transform local sites from a distance. By the late Ming, temples had been superseded by other sites of local activism, including community compacts, lineage prefaces, and community covenants
Sanmenia Song & Kim 1992
No full textSanmenia Song & Kim, 1992 Type species: Cupa zhengi Ono & Song, 1986, by original designation. Diagnosis: This genus is similar to Cupa Strand, 1906, but can be distinguished by the combination of the following characters: body smaller than in Cupa spp.; opisthosoma nearly as long as wide [longer than wide in Cupa]; chelicerae with three (Song & Kim 1992) or four retromarginal teeth (this study), [two in Cupa]; tibiae I–II each with ventral spine 2 2 2 2 2 [2 2 2 2 in Cupa], metatarsi I–II each with ventral spine 2 2 2 2 [2 2 2 in Cupa]; male palp with RTA and VTA separated (Song & Kim 1992) or combined basally (this study) [single/simple RTA in Cupa]; embolus long, originating medially on prolateral side of bulb or proximad on retrolateral side (Fig. 79), [short and originating prolaterally to distally in Cupa]; epigynal sclerotized plate absent [present in Cupa]. Distribution: China, Japan, Singapore (Fig. 10). Remarks: The known single male specimen of Sanmenia kohi with one promarginal tooth may be an abnormality, considering the fact that the female specimen of this species and the other specimens of the genus all have three promarginal teeth.Published as part of Yang, Zi-Zhong, Zhu, Ming-Sheng & Song, Da-Xiang, 2006, A new species of the genus Sanmenia Song & Kim, 1992 (Araneae, Thomisidae) from Yunnan Province, China, pp. 41-46 in Zootaxa 1151 on page 42, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17214
