Recapping the Academic Seminar “傳統中國福利實踐的社會邏輯——基於明清社會研究的解釋” Delivered by Prof. ZHANG Peiguo of Shanghai University on 6 April 2018
Prof. ZHANG Peiguo of the School of Sociology and Political Science, Shanghai University, was invited by the Centre for Chinese History, Department of History, to present a lecture to faculty members and students.
Prof. ZHANG’s lecture focused on the interpretation of the social logic of traditional Chinese welfare practices from a sociological perspective. He pointed out that in the late Imperial China, “fu”, “ming” and “bao”, constituted not a symbolic system, but penetrated into shecang, yizhuang, yizhong and shantang and not as an aggregation of exploitation and production in the process of social reproduction. As a set of symbolic system, “fu”, “ming”, “bao” and other notions had integrated the rights of land in economic coercion, the tributary country, and the gentries into the system of symbolic domination.
