In the early twentieth century, the Chinese state made strenuous efforts to broaden and deepen its authority over rural society. This book is an ambitious attempt to offer both a method and a framework for analyzing Chinese social history in the state-making era.The author constructs a prismatic view of village-level society that shows how marketing, kinship, water control, temple patronage, and other structures of human interaction overlapped to form what he calls the cultural nexus of power in local society. The author's concept of the cultural nexus and his tracing of how it was altered enables us for the first time to grapple with change at the village level in all its complexity.The author asserts that the growth of the state transformed and delegitimized the traditional cultural nexus during the Republican era, particularly in the realm of village leadership and finances. Thus, the expansion of state power was ultimately and paradoxically responsible for the revolution in China as it eroded the foundations of village life, leaving nothing in its place.The problems of state-making in China were different from those of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Europe; the Chinese experience heralds the process that would become increasingly common in the emergent states of the developing world under the very different circumstances of the twentieth century.

it seems very trendy to criticize a model/paradigm focusing too much on “consistency” and neglecting “culture”…It seems we can modify everything by pointing out there are contested/negotiated symbols…
评分need to re-read~
评分感觉杜赞奇很多的观点和Koselleck的观念史研究方法是有相似的。
评分史料详实机制细致。政治经济的清末、民初都好,但文化基本上只写到宗教了,现代化和意识形态的进入感觉写的不够味道。cultural nexus of power -- protective & entrepreneurial brokages -(modernization & fiscal pressure)- state involution
