To understand a city fully, writes Di Wang, we must observe its most basic units of social life. In The Teahouse under Socialism, Wang does just that, arguing that the teahouses of Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, are some of the most important public spaces―perfect sites for examining the social and economic activities of everyday Chinese.
To understand a city fully, writes Di Wang, we must observe its most basic units of social life. In The Teahouse under Socialism, Wang does just that, arguing that the teahouses of Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, are some of the most important public spaces―perfect sites for examining the social and economic activities of everyday Chinese.
Wang looks at the transformation of these teahouses from private businesses to collective ownership and how state policy and the proprietors’ response to it changed the overall economic and social structure of the city. He uses this transformation to illuminate broader trends in China’s urban public life from 1950 through the end of the Cultural Revolution and into the post-Mao reform era. In doing so, The Teahouse under Socialism charts the fluctuations in fortune of this ancient cultural institution and analyzes how it survived, and even thrived, under bleak conditions.
Throughout, Wang asks such questions as: Why and how did state power intervene in the operation of small businesses? How was "socialist entertainment" established in a local society? How did the well-known waves of political contestation and struggle in China change Chengdu’s teahouses and public life? In the end, Wang argues, the answers to such questions enhance our understanding of public life and political culture in the Communist state.
Di Wang is Distinguished Professor and Head of the Department of History, University of Macau. Among his many books are The Teahouse: Small Business, Everyday Culture, and Public Politics in Chengdu, 1900-1950 and Street Culture in Chengdu: Public Space, Urban Commoners, and Local Politics, 1870-1930.

一些材料的获取已然有些乏力,但仍然可以一窥,20世纪后半叶的成都茶馆蕴含了太多具有争议性的议题,80年代之前公共生活和公共领域的内涵和填充物有所矛盾。而80年代之后,则是在市场化、消费浪潮、全球过程等重重包裹中仍然有坚韧的生命力,文化既连续又有断裂,但至少人民公园里的茶馆还是热闹的,一度外来人口也能依傍茶馆谋生或求职。王笛的茶馆讨论截止千禧年戛然而止,突然以一桩麻将争议来点出传统面临的困境,麻将置... 一些材料的获取已然有些乏力,但仍然可以一窥,20世纪后半叶的成都茶馆蕴含了太多具有争议性的议题,80年代之前公共生活和公共领域的内涵和填充物有所矛盾。而80年代之后,则是在市场化、消费浪潮、全球过程等重重包裹中仍然有坚韧的生命力,文化既连续又有断裂,但至少人民公园里的茶馆还是热闹的,一度外来人口也能依傍茶馆谋生或求职。王笛的茶馆讨论截止千禧年戛然而止,突然以一桩麻将争议来点出传统面临的困境,麻将置于现代高速发展导致的剧烈矛盾中,人们抨击这类逸乐阻碍经济,同时坐茶铺打麻将这类生活方式又成了高质量慢节奏生活的代言。经济的身体日渐丰腴,然而灵魂往哪里去呢?
