評分以小見大的又一範本。從軍戶在不同circumstances的生存智慧齣發,結閤“everyday politics”的概念,對明朝曆史的一些既有理解提齣挑戰或做齣修正(contract,lineage,withdrawal of the state,commercial revolution)。Conclusion顯示野心,嘗試歸納一般意義上premodern state中state-society relations的特點(regulatory arbitrage),最後對Mitchell “state effect”的概念進行升華,提齣“premodern state effect"的概念,即the presence of state是地方統治的必要資源和一些社會現象的源頭。

Michael Szonyi is professor of Chinese history and director of the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University. His books include Practicing Kinship: Lineage and Descent in Late Imperial China and Cold War Island: Quemoy on the Front Line.
How did ordinary people in the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) deal with the demands of the state? In The Art of Being Governed, Michael Szonyi explores the myriad ways that families fulfilled their obligations to provide a soldier to the army. The complex strategies they developed to manage their responsibilities suggest a new interpretation of an important period in China's history as well as a broader theory of politics.
Using previously untapped sources, including lineage genealogies and internal family documents, Szonyi examines how soldiers and their families living on China's southeast coast minimized the costs and maximized the benefits of meeting government demands for manpower. Families that had to provide a soldier for the army set up elaborate rules to ensure their obligation was fulfilled, and to provide incentives for the soldier not to desert his post. People in the system found ways to gain advantages for themselves and their families. For example, naval officers used the military's protection to engage in the very piracy and smuggling they were supposed to suppress. Szonyi demonstrates through firsthand accounts how subjects of the Ming state operated in a space between defiance and compliance, and how paying attention to this middle ground can help us better understand not only Ming China but also other periods and places.

評分为了确保军队维持在一定的规模,明朝实行了一项军户制度。简略地说,军户制度就是从民户中选出一部分定为军户,要求每个军户必须保证任何时候始终提供一名士兵在军队服役。如果在服役的士兵病死、战死或出现其他意外状况,对应的军户必须再提供一个新的男丁补充。这名正在服役...
