The true essence of China is rooted in its villages. The traditional village culture of South China, as elsewhere in the country, is a microcosm of the greater society and philosophy of China, both ancient and modern. This book focuses particularly on Hong Kong and Shenzhen, originally part of the same county in Guangdong province, which share a rich heritage of diverse influences - a mix of doctrines and varied beliefs, interwoven with regional social and economic practices operating through a well-ordered local organisation - that have helped make this region the success it is today.

"The studies collected in this volume were written by anthropologists, architects, geographers, historians, a sociologist, and a veterinary ecologist. Taken together they form an exceptionally coherent survey of Chinese villages, ranging from the dry north to the humid southeast and southwest of this vast country. Going beyond books on Chinese vernacular architecture that focus on individual dwellings, this work examines the village ensemble itself, the various settings for the habitation, work, and leisure of China's large rural population." "Discussions of design, spatial layout, physical setting, settlement patterns, geomantic principles (fengshui), and evolutionary patterns set the stage for eighteen village case studies. Many villages still preserve characteristics that evoke a respect for and understanding of "old China," while others expose the drastic metamorphosis of recent decades. Villages are examined as places, emphasizing that which is visible; each village has its own order and complex of natural and human elements. Chinese Landscapes, though it focuses on the physical appearance of individual villages as they are situated within the constellation that comprises the Chinese landscape, suggests much about more general social, economic, and political patterns."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The author had spent more than 20 years working and living in China developing a great respect for the Chinese, their customs, lifestyle, and philosophy. He thought that Chinese villages were a microcosm of the whole of the empire and he was certain that China would be a big player in the 20th century and later, but also realized that some things about their lifestyle would have to change, stating this as a prime reason for writing the book. In the foreward, he uses the phrase 'the Chinese problem' recognizing the fact that a better understanding of the Chinese was needed in the Western world.

This book is about village governance in China during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Drawing on government archives from Huailu county, Hebei province, it explores local practices and official systems of social control, land taxation, and "self government" at the village level. Its analysis of peasant behaviors bridges the gap between the rational choice and moral economy models by taking into account both material and symbolic dimensions of power and interest in the peasant community. The author's interpretation of village/state relations before 1900 transcends the state and society dichotomy and accentuates the interplay between formal and informal institutions and practices. His account of "state making" after 1900 underscores the continuity of endogenous arrangements in the course of institutional formalization and the interpenetration between official discourse and popular notions in the new process of political legitimization.
