    The political role of the people's liberation army 1949-1973

    No full text
    This thesis is to study the political role of the People's Liberation Army from the approach of structure and function. The framework of the thesis consists of three major parts, first, the influence of Chinese traditional political culture on, and the formation of, the political role of the PL A; second, the influence of domestic political struggles and external military conflicts on the development of the political role of the PLA; and the third, the analysis of the transition of the PLA's political role from the structure and personnel arrangements of the CCPCC Within the above-mentioned three scopes, this thesis make a thorough discussion on the following: (1) The relationship between the structure of the PRC and the formation of the PLA's political role; (2) How has ideology influenced the army's political role; (3) What is Mao's viewpoint and his influence on the development of the army's political role; (4) What is the link between the army and the party, and how has this developed; (6) What accounts for the expansion of the PLA's political functions; (7) What is the influence of political factional struggles on the PLA's political role; (8) Is it political institution or military institution that controls the recruitment of the military elite; (9) What are the disparities between the military elite in handling international conflicts and what are their political considerations; (10) What is the Party's position in the army; (11) How have the Party’s important meetings and personnel arrangements influenced the rise and fall of the PLA's political role

    Ming maritime governance and the Suppression of Lin Feng

    No full text
    Piracy 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

    Strain and screening effects on field emission properties of armchair graphene nanoribbon arrays: a first-principles study

    No full text
    The field screening effect on the field-emission properties of armchair graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs) under strain has been studied using first-principles calculations with local density approximation (LDA). Using the zone folding method with the effect of a dipole barrier along with the work function of strained graphene, we can obtain the work function of AGNR of any width under strain, confirmed with the LDA calculations. We have systematically investigated the effects of inter-ribbon distance and ribbon width on the work function of AGNR arrays. It is found that the work function of AGNR arrays increases rapidly as the inter-ribbon distance D-x increases, which is caused by the positive dipole at the edge of the ribbon. Using a simple linear interpolation model, we can obtain the work function of AGNRs of any ribbon-width and inter-ribbon distance. The dependences of the inter-ribbon distance and strain on the field enhancement factor have been determined. The enhancement factor reaches about 90% of its saturated value as the inter-ribbon distance approaches two times the ribbon-width. For a tensile strain, the field enhancement factor increases with applied strain while for a compressive one, the field enhancement factor is nearly independent. The effects of inter-ribbon distance and strain on the enhancement factor can be explained by the interlayer and intralayer screening effects, respectively.The authors acknowledge the National Center for Theoretical Sciences in Taiwan and financial supports from the Ministry of Science and Technology of Taiwan (MOST) under Grant No. MOST-106-2112-M-194-004, Hanyang University (HY-201400000002393), and the National Research Foundation of Korea

    The tale of Lady Tan: negotiating place between Central and local in Song-Yuan-Ming China

    No full text
    This 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
