"From 1368 to 1953, China's administrative divisions were mainly composed of counties, prefectures, and provinces. This book shows the population figures, density, and changes in the provincial population in China during this period and population figures of each major city and town and its proportion in terms of the provincial population during this period - the urbanization rate. Data in this book is drawn partly from historical sources and partly from statistical-model-based calculations. The book also includes provincial population maps in 1393, and their original statistical models, population databases, and metadata"--
"If you peer closely into the bookstores, salons, and diplomatic circles of the eighteenth-century Atlantic world, sooner or later Médéric Louis Élie Moreau de Saint-Méry is bound to appear. As a lawyer, philosophe, and Enlightenment polymath, Moreau created and compiled an immense archive that remains a vital window into the fragile social, political, and intellectual fault lines of the Age of Revolutions. But the gilded spines and elegant designs that decorate his archive obscure the truth: Moreau's achievements were, at every turn, predicated upon the work of enslaved and free people of color. Their labor amassed the wealth that afforded him the leisure to research, think, and write. Their rich intellectual and linguistic cultures filled the pages of his most applauded works. They set the type, dried the paper, and folded the pages that created his legacy. Every beautiful book Moreau designed contains an embedded story of hidden violence. Sara Johnson's arresting investigation of race and knowledge in the revolutionary Atlantic surrounds Moreau with the African-descended people he worked so hard to erase, immersing him in a vibrant community of language innovators, forgers of kinship networks, and world travelers who strove to create their own social and political lives.

Wáng Yángmíng (1472-1529) ist einer der bedeutendsten konfuzianischen Denker des kaiserzeitlichen China. Die Ausgabe dokumentiert die Auseinandersetzung über die Grundlagen des rechten Handelns, die er und sein Schüler Ōuyáng Dé (1496-1554) mit Luó Qīnshùn führten. In größter Allgemeinheit lässt sich diese Kontroverse in folgende Frage fassen: Hat sich ethisches Handeln nach der empirisch erkennbaren objektiven Ordnung des Kosmos ("Ordnungsprinzipien des Himmels") und den tradierten Schriften der "Heiligen" (Gespräche des Konfuzius, Menzius und andere Texte) oder aber nach der Einsicht des eigenen "Herzens" auszurichten? Zu keinem Zeitpunkt vor dem Eindringen europäischen Denkens am Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts ist in der chinesischen Philosophie das Verhältnis von Tradition und eigenem individuellen Denken so radikal diskutiert worden.
