He is the author of Te Flow of Gifts: Reciprocity and Social Networks in a Chinese Village (Stanford University Press, 1996), Private Life under Socialism: Love, Intimacy, and Family Change in a Chinese Village, 1949–1999 (Stanford University Press, 2003) and The Individualization of Chinese Society (Berg, 2009). His research interests include family and kinship, social change, the individual and individualization, and moral changes in post-Mao China.
Gift-giving is a classic topic in anthropology, where on-going debates involve the principle of reciprocity, the spirit of the gift, and the relationship between gifts and commodities. In this study, the author examines the gift-giving and related social activities that pervade daily life in China, focusing on routine activities - visits between relatives, exchanges of food and labour between neighbours, gift-giving between friends - while not ignoring such special occasions as weddings and funerals. He constructs a classification of exchange behaviour in village society, examining the items of presentation, the types of gift-giving activities, and the hierarchical arrangement of givers and receivers. He also presents new interpretations of key concepts involved in Chinese gift-giving: guanxi (social networks), renqing (norms of interpersonal behaviour), mianzi (face), and bao (reciprocity). The book concludes by showing how the village gift economy has adjusted and survived in response to the radical social changes engendered by four decades of socialism.

评分中国一些传统的礼仪曾在建国初期被自上而下地打压和摒弃过一段时间,原因主要有以下几点: 1、在“破四旧”的整体社会风气下,礼仪被视为封建迷信活动; 2、礼仪在支持地方精英和族长的权威方面起着重要作用,而这不利于中央的集权统治; 3、在物质极其匮乏的年代,礼仪使农民...
评分我观察过周围的很多中国人,学问对于他们来说是一件不可思议的事情。读书多的人经常会被贴上一个标签,叫“书呆子”,或者经常会被调侃“书读傻了”。我想这大概是基于这些人对学问的一种功利的看法,在很多中国人的价值标准里,干能产生地位或者经济利益的事情才是正确的。所...
