Currently, Qitao Guo is working on a new monograph, tentatively titled “Community, Culture, and Commerce: The Rise of Elite Lineages in Ming-dynasty Huizhou.”Tracing the origins of various lineage institutions such as corporate estates, genealogy compilations, and free-standing ancestral halls, the book highlights the interactions between elite and popular cultures in the local arena, and the contributions from local cults, religious institutions, and commercial wealth in the making of Huizhou’s mercantile lineage culture.
Qitao is also interested in comparative regional local cultures and social institutions in late imperial times, especially between Huizhou in central China and Fujian and Guangdong in the south.
His other new research interest lies in environmental history. He is beginning preparations on an environmental and cultural history of Lake Tai over the past millennium—a region very dear to his heart given that Wuxi (a beautiful city bordering Lake Tai) is his birthplace, and as a boy he often swam in the lake.
This study analyzes the identities of the five-fury spirits in light of the cult's historical linkages with local society in southern Anhui and with other religious traditions in a larger context. These two contexts interacted in complex ways to generate, around the time of the mid-Ming, a localized religious order. Guo explores not only how history transformed the symbolic order, but also how history itself was symbolically ordered and reordered in the process. This monograph is intended to add a symbolic dimension to a classic issue in the study of Ming-Qing social history: the state-society relation on the one hand and the elite-commoner and gentry-merchant relations on the other. By tracing the integration and gentrification of localized gods back to the mid Ming, Guo also demonstrates how popular religion accompanied the socioeconomic changes that swept the entire empire during the sixteenth century.
