In the first half of the nineteenth century the Qing Empire faced a crisis. It was broadly perceived both inside and outside of government that the “prosperous age” of the eighteenth century was over. Bureaucratic corruption and malaise, population pressure and food shortages, ecological and infrastructural decay, domestic and frontier rebellion, adverse balances of trade, and, eventually, a previously inconceivable foreign threat from the West seemed to present hopelessly daunting challenges.
This study uses the literati reformer Bao Shichen as a prism to understand contemporary perceptions of and proposed solutions to this general crisis. Though Bao only briefly and inconsequentially served in office himself, he was widely recognized as an expert on each of these matters, and his advice was regularly sought by reform-minded administrators. From examination of his thought on bureaucratic and fiscal restructuring, agricultural improvement, the grain tribute administration, the salt monopoly, monetary policy, and foreign relations, Bao emerges as a consistent advocate of the hard-nosed pursuit of material “profit,” in the interests not only of the rural populace but also of the Chinese state and nation, anticipating the arguments of “self-strengthening” reformers later in the century.

正如法国历史学家詹姆斯·柯林斯(James Collins)所说:“15~18世纪,西欧地区的政体(Political Units)与欧亚大陆其他地方的政体有一些共同的基本结构特点,包括人口增长趋势、金银涌入,以及日益一体化的世界经济;同时面临着共同的挑战,首要的便是军事支出的增长。”在某... (展开)占据“C”位的包世臣
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
曾几何时,包世臣已经成为了人们眼中嘉道衰世里一抹难得的“白月光”。 他博学广识,充满着对现实世界的好奇与关怀,与那些沉迷于饾饤之学的腐儒或汲汲于名利的市侩有云泥之别。他是科举考试里的失败者,30多岁才好不容易考中举人,终身未能考中进士,但是,因为科举已经被公认... (展开)> 更多书评 10篇

Collection of revised articles, solid intro. for those uninformed about the period. Written by someone who's in the happy position of not having to justify the point of writing.

《救世》的姐妹篇。以包世臣为视角探讨19世纪中国的农、漕、盐、货币问题,罗明确反对包世臣是自由主义者这样的说法,认为在他身上体现得更多的是功利主义色彩,如对生产效率的追求,减轻农民负担,消除“中饱”阶层和寻求国家财政的增加。在关于包世臣材料有限的情况下,罗尽量结合嘉道时期的社会背景进行讨论,并将包世臣置于寻求富强的历史脉络上对其历史角色予以重新衡量,不过对于经世同理学经学的讨论比较欠缺,整体上还是... 《救世》的姐妹篇。以包世臣为视角探讨19世纪中国的农、漕、盐、货币问题,罗明确反对包世臣是自由主义者这样的说法,认为在他身上体现得更多的是功利主义色彩,如对生产效率的追求,减轻农民负担,消除“中饱”阶层和寻求国家财政的增加。在关于包世臣材料有限的情况下,罗尽量结合嘉道时期的社会背景进行讨论,并将包世臣置于寻求富强的历史脉络上对其历史角色予以重新衡量,不过对于经世同理学经学的讨论比较欠缺,整体上还是缺乏新意。杨念群在《文史哲》上发表的文章倒值得一读。 (展开)

Rowe always writes good intros for those who desperately needs a solid and incisive understanding of the historical context. Can serve well as a prelude to Mann 2005 and Pomeranz 1993.

感觉作者也陷入了如包世臣般考证的怪圈。有时候读起来怪纠结的。。。不过好就好在也客观反应了那个时期有抱负心的statist/literati们对时代、王朝的纠结,看完心态蛮落空的…
