Paperback. Condizione: New. The figure of Dai Zhen (1724-1777) looms large in modern Chinese intellectual history. Dai was a mathematical astronomer and influential polymath who, along with like-minded scholars, sought to balance understandings of science, technology, and history within the framework of classical Chinese writings. Exploring ideas in fields as broad-ranging as astronomy, geography, governance, phonology, and etymology, Dai grappled with Western ideas and philosophies, including Jesuit conceptions of cosmology, which were so important to the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) court's need for calendrical precision.Minghui Hu tells the story of China's transition into modernity from the perspective of 18th-century Chinese scholars dedicated to examining the present and past with the tools of evidential analysis. Using Dai as the centering point, Hu shows how the tongru ("broadly learned scholars") of this era navigated Confucian, Jesuit, and other worldviews during a dynamic period, connecting ancient theories to new knowledge in the process.Scholars and students of early modern Chinese history, and those examining science, religious, and intellectual history more broadly, will find China's Transition to Modernity inspiring and helpful for their research and teaching.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Waiting for the Barbarians: A History of Geopolitics in Early Modern China, 1680-1850 is a groundbreaking examination of how Qing China reimagined its imperial identity through territorial expansion, ideological adaptation, and cartographic precision. Between 1680 and 1850, the Qing integrated Central Asia, Tibet, and Mongolia into a vast, multiethnic empire-challenging traditional Confucian distinctions between civilization and 'barbarism.'Bridging political thought, cultural geography, and geodetic science, this book reveals how Qing rulers legitimized territorial claims using symbolic geography-such as surveys of the Yellow River's headwaters-and advanced tools like triangulation and the theodolite. These efforts fostered a new understanding of spatial order among Qing officials, intellectuals, and administrators.Engaging critically with New Qing History, the study situates Qing expansion within a global context, comparing its strategies with those of Russia and the United States. It traces the transformation of the 'barbarian' label from an ethnic category to a geopolitical one, reflecting deeper shifts in how the Qing conceptualized inclusion, sovereignty, and empire.An essential resource for scholars and students of East Asian history, imperial studies, Qing politics, and historical cartography, this book provides an authoritative and accessible account of how early modern empires mapped, measured, and governed an increasingly interconnected world.…
