Download or read book Tang China in Multi Polar Asia written by Zhenping Wang and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a synthetic narrative approach, this ambitious work uses the lens of multipolarity to analyze Tang China’s (618–907) relations with Turkestan; the Korean states of Koguryŏ, Silla, and Paekche; the state of Parhae in Manchuria; and the Nanzhao and Tibetan kingdoms. Without any one entity able to dominate Asia’s geopolitical landscape, the author argues that relations among these countries were quite fluid and dynamic—an interpretation that departs markedly from the prevalent view of China fixed at the center of a widespread “tribute system.” To cope with external affairs in a tumultuous world, Tang China employed a dual management system that allowed both central and local officials to conduct foreign affairs. The court authorized Tang local administrators to receive foreign visitors, forward their diplomatic letters to the capital, and manage contact with outsiders whose territories bordered on China. Not limited to handling routine matters, local officials used their knowledge of border situations to influence the court’s foreign policy. Some even took the liberty of acting without the court’s authorization when an emergency occurred, thus adding another layer to multipolarity in the region’s geopolitics. The book also sheds new light on the ideological foundation of Tang China’s foreign policy. Appropriateness, efficacy, expedience, and mutual self-interest guided the court’s actions abroad. Although officials often used “virtue” and “righteousness” in policy discussions and announcements, these terms were not abstract universal principles but justifications for the pursuit of self-interest by those involved. Detailed philological studies reveal that in the realm of international politics, “virtue” and “righteousness” were in fact viewed as pragmatic and utilitarian in nature. Comprehensive and authoritative, Tang China in Multi-Polar Asia is a major work on Tang foreign relations that will reconceptualize our understanding of the complexities of diplomacy and war in imperial China.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les Sogdiens en Chine ne furent pas seulement ces grands marchands internationaux, tels que les sources unanimes les décrivent, qui assurèrent pendant plusieurs siècles les échanges commerciaux entre la Chine et l'Asie centrale ; ces iranophones, venus de Samarcande ou Boukhara comme agriculteurs, soldats, artisans, diplomates ou traducteurs, participèrent également â tous les aspects de la vie sociale, artistique, économique et politique des grandes villes de Chine du Nord du Ve au VIIIe siècle. Cet ouvrage utilise l'ensemble des découvertes les plus récentes, aussi bien archéologiques que textuelles, pour proposer un large panorama de l'histoire de ces communautés influentes. Il regroupe 21 communications d'auteurs chinois, occidentaux et japonais.
Download or read book Turko Mongol Rulers Cities and City Life written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-10-09 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly a millennium, a large part of Asia was ruled by Turkic or Mongol dynasties of nomadic origin. What was the attitude of these dynasties towards the many cities they controlled, some of which were of considerable size? To what extent did they live like their subjects? How did they evolve? Turko-Mongol Rulers, Cities and City-life aims to broaden the perspective on the issue of location of rule in this particular context by bringing together specialists in various periods, from pre-Chingissid Eurasia to nineteenth-century Iran, and of various disciplines (history, archaeology, history of art). Contributors include: Michal Biran, David Durand-Guédy, Kurt Franz, Peter Golden, Minoru Inaba, Nobuaki Kondo, Yuri Karev, Tomoko Masuya, Charles Melville, Jürgen Paul and Andrew Peacock
