論文摘要 The present dissertation provides a systematic study of late Western
Zhou history, investigating in particular the process of the dynasty's decline
and fall. The dissertation integrates written records with archaeological evi
dence to demonstrate the historical move in China during the tenth to the eight
centuries B.C. from centralized royal control to regional competition. It also
shows how this historical development was influenced by geographical conditions
. The first chapter provides an extensive survey of the Zhou world, demonstrat
ing the extent of the Western Zhou state. The second chapter examines the proc
ess of decline of the Western Zhou and investigates possible reasons for it.
The third chapter presents a historical-geographical analysis of the war betw
een the Zhou and the Yianyun, who eventually captured the Zhou capital in 771
B.C. It situates this long-term war in the actual terrain of western China. Th
e fourth chapter examines historical problems involved in the fall of the Zhou
dynasty, presenting a new interpretation of the political crisis of the last
reign of the Western Zhou. The fifth chapter deals with the transition to the
Eastern Zhou, focusing on the eastward migration of the Zhou court and some Zh
ou states. The dissertation concludes with a study of the rise of the state of
Qin, which moved into the Zhou homeland in central Shaanxi and thereafter beg
an its long march towards the unification of China.

論文摘要 The objective of this dissertation is to study the economic history of
Eastern Zhou China. It is based principally upon a large number of bronze coi
ns excavated archaeologically, and uses analytical methods of—and has implica
tions for—such diverse fields as archaeology, paleography, history, historica
l geography and economic history. In Chapter One, the history of numismatics
in China is reviewed. Chapters Two and Three deal with the reading of coin in
scriptions and the dating of coins. In the final two chapters, the social and
economic significance of Eastern Zhou coinage are explored. Besides a reconstr
uction of the relation between coins and people, issues such as coin productio
n, usage, debasement, buying power and circulation are discussed in detail.
Moreover, modern economic theories and comparisons with the history of Western
coinage are applied to the study. The dissertation demonstrates a core-periph
ery Eastern Zhou commodity economy. Patterns of coin circulation and monetary
systems varied in different states. Currencies of the Han, Zhao and Wei states
were used also outside of their state of production, while those of the Qin,
Chu, Qi and Yan states were used only locally. Han, Zhao and Wei had an open
monetary system, while Qin, Chu and Qi had a closed one. These differences in
dicate the core and periphery of the Eastern Zhou commodity economy and refle
ct the relative economic power of the different states. In order to understand
the causes of these differences, economic resources such as land, labor, and
capital in different states are analyzed. I discuss, from an economic viewpoin
t, how Qin as a state with a less developed commodity economy was able to achi
eve the unification of China.

論文摘要 Yan was an essential vassal state established by the Zhou court in No
rth China during the early Western Zhou period around late 11th c. BC. It was
strategically located in an area that functioned as a buffer between the Centr
al Plain, the “core of dynastic China”, and the Northern Zone, the periphera
l of steppe land occupied by non-Chinese “barbarians”. This study attempts
to understand how and why the Zhou were able to establish and legitimatize th
eir control through the establishment of Yan state and how burial display conf
irmed the new political system in North China. What we know about the Yan come
s primarily from archaeological excavations at Liulihe, the capital of the Yan
, southwest of Beijing. Highly decorated and inscribed bronzes and jades have
been found exclusively in elite burials of the early Western Zhou period. The
majority of the bronzes and jades from Liulihe are similar to those found in
the Central Plain. Nevertheless, artistic styles typical of the local bronze
cultures of the Chengdu Basin, in the middle reaches of the Yangzi River, and
Northern Zone, were also discovered in the excavations. Bronzes and jades
were used by the Zhou nobles to signify individual's social position and
political power in the Yan. A four-tiered social hierarchy consisted of Yan
rulers, the upper aristocrats, lower-class elite and commoners and can be obse
rved in the burial patterns and contents in the tombs. The layout of the buria
ls strictly followed the Zhou zongfa system and indicated cultural and/or ethn
ic distinctions. The style and use of the ritual objects at Liulihe were emplo
yed by the Zhou nobles of the Yan to reinforce their relationship with the Zhou
court and legitimatize their control over local groups. This dissertation is
an initial attempt to examine the interplay between the art and socio-political
organization of ancient China. It will also employ a distinctive inter-discip
linary approach to the study of early Chinese art.

論文摘要 The thesis examines the lived experience of archaeologists in China
to investigate how social relations, hierarchical structures, and the exercise
of authority affect archaeological lives and work. Archaeologists are chosen
for study because of the peculiarities of their social relations with official
s, peasants, and each other. These social relations are first divided based on
their relative Stability . ‘Stable Relations’ are those for which tradition
al conventional models exist to provide guidance both for behavior as well as
the interpretation and judgment of behavior. ‘Unstable Relations’ are those
for which no models—or only negative models—exist. The thesis proceeds to ex
amine the many differences in the strategies and tactics used in Stable and Un
stable Relations. In Stable contexts, three types of strategies are described.
Guanxi strategies of the performance of trust and compatibility are used to
reproduce and, most importantly, strengthen Stable Relations. A second strategy
involves the juxtaposition of the often conflicting roles and expectations of
different Stable Relations in particular contexts in order for either Inferio
rs or Superiors to wrest authority from the other. A third strategy is the cre
ative interpretation of conventional models of the individual to justify and
explain failure or success. In contrast, it is impossible to list and catalog
ue the tactics used in Unstable contexts. Nevertheless, all tactics do share
the primary goal of asserting a hierarchy on the Unstable situation. By alloc
ating superordinate and subordinate roles, the Unstable Relation is converted
into one emulating a Stable Relation. The thesis examines tactics claiming
the subordinate position as well as those claiming the superordinate position.
Finally, the thesis presents four circumstances in which strategies and tacti
cs are limited: the first being the ‘always successful Oligarch;’ the second
of the ‘always unsuccessful Woman;’ the third of the relations between Chin
a and Taiwan; and the fourth of the relations between China and the ‘Foreign.
’ These cases are provided to further our understandings of how the essential
isms of age, sex, and race act to modify the strategies and tactics of both
Stable and Unstable Relations.

論文摘要 Archaeology is usually considered to be a branch of science or histor
y that operates independently of any particular social or cultural context. In
this view, the knowledge it produces about the past, though undoubtedly incom
plete, is essentially factual and objective: only when the state or other poli
tical partisans engage in heavy-handed manipulation of the field and its proce
sses of discovery does archaeological knowledge become mythologized.
This dissertation adopts a somewhat different view. It regards archaeology
as deeply embedded in its social milieu, and it views the social context of
archaeology as shaping the knowledge it constructs about the past in subtle way
s. Taking contemporary China as a case study, it is proposed that the questions
Chinese archaeologists ask and the methods and evidence they use to investiga
te these questions are shaped to some degree by the social, political, and eco
nomic agendas of the state. Further, it views archaeology not just as a field
of knowledge but also as an interest group composed of practitioners, who draw
upon archaeological knowledge and practices as a source of symbols to constit
ute themselves.
The dissertation is exploratory in its spirit. It seeks to raise issues co
ncerning archaeology and it social context rather than resolve them. It also a
ttempts to demonstrate the possibilities of an ethnography of archaeology.
Chapter 1 describes the author's discovery of the problem and of the poten
tials of the archaeology-ethnography interface. Chapter 2 explores notions of
symbols and boundaries, outlines the several meanings of 'archaeology,' and de
scribes Chinese archaeology as a socially constituted activity. Chapter 3 focu
ses on archaeological fieldwork as an activity that is both a domain of schola
rly practice and cultural practice. Chapter 4 sketches the many reasons the st
ate is involved with archaeology. Chapter 5 looks at one particular archaeolog
ical narrative, which concerns the Neolithic period in Nanjing, to show the in
teraction between the state and the discipline in the creation of archaeologic
al knowledge. Chapter 6 discusses the implications of the essay for understand
ing both China and the practice of archaeology, and it also proposes that the
concept of community may be useful for further explorations of state, society,
and archaeology.

論文摘要 The performance of mortuary ritual within the tomb was an innovation
that occurred during the Eastern Han period. Within the Eastern Han tomb the
concept of death was blurred and ambiguous, allowing the living and the dead
to undergo paired social initiations resulting in their rebirths as changed
social persona. During mortuary rites for a dead father, for example, the
deceased underwent initiation in order to join the ranks of the ancestors.
At the same time, his living son, in the role of the chief mourner, underwent
social initiation to assume his father's place as family patriarch. Tomb doors
were another mortuary innovation of the Eastern Han period. This thesis analy
zes tomb doors and thresholds as the organizational keys to tomb structure, de
corative program, and the performance of ritual necessary to ensure linkages
between and transformations between the worlds of the living and the dead. Ar
chaeological material from the Eastern Han tombs at Yi'nan, Dongjiazhuang and
Dahuting is presented as the primary evidence of these innovations. By using a
holistic approach to the tombs, the doors are reintegrated into their origina
l architectural setting as the structure of the thesis directs the reader thro
ugh the tomb from south to north, following the path of the Eastern Han mortua
ry audience. The carved stone doors signaled that the tomb was a locus of tran
sformation to an audience of the living and the dead. Death, a system-endanger
ing event of central importance, was defeated by the correct program of mortua
ry ritual at the site of the doors and doorways within the tombs. Mortuary rit
ual functioned as a homeostat, providing a mechanism to repair the tear in the
fabric of Han society caused by the death of a family member. It accomplished
this repair via the transmission of information at the site of the tomb doors
. The doors were thus instruments linking the living and the dead and uniting
the past, the present and the future for “ten thousand generations.”

論文摘要 This dissertation investigates the pictorial narrative of relief carv
ings in a second century C.E. Chinese tomb. Among the issues addressed are the
relationship of pictorial narrative and ritual practice, and how the space of
the tomb conveys narrative meaning. I find a dynamic space of shifting positi
ons in which the imagery is not aimed at one ideal observer, but at two kinds
of ideal observers--the living mourner as s/he enters the tomb from the south
and the deceased male and female located in the rear chamber. Thus it is concl
uded that the pictorial narrative represents the process of forging an unbroke
n relationship of mutual benefit between the living and the dead and establish
ing a sacred center.
The public reception of the monument's imagery is also considered. It is
argued that the imagery, especially representations of cultural heroes, may h
ave been viewed differently depending on the viewers' status, education and ab
ility to read. Such figures are usually identified with the moral and behaviou
ral codes sanctified by the state. However, the mode of representation and pla
cement in the tomb evoke powers of supernatural protection associated with the
ir local cult status. This points up the dual role of the male occupant of the
tomb, a member of the provincial elite: he is charged with both disseminating
the ideology of the state and accomodating or co-opting the local cults.
Finally, the pictorial narrative is considered from the perspective of its
function within the larger context of the burial ground and ritual performanc
e. It is argued that the narrative structure parallels the mourner's progress
as s/he enters and then exits the tomb, and that scenes of funerary rites may
have had a votive function. Also examined is the role of the artisan and ritua
l performance in consecrating the tomb and imbuing the bas-reliefs with magica
l powers of protection and transformation.
