In 1812, the Qing Empire established Kavalan subprefecture in Kabelang, indicating that Qing state power had both extended into the region and redefined the frontier and related boundaries. Previous scholarship has paid the topic significant attention, but this article analyzes several maps to understand a specific theme: How was the spatial and geographic knowledge of Kabelang that had been shaped by those colonists operating beyond the boundary transformed into an official understanding for the Empire’s practical use, a process which can be placed within the context of a local turn during the Qianlong-Jiaqing transition? In 1798, Wu Sha’s 吳沙 (1731–1798) land reformation project invited Xiao Zhu 蕭竹 (?–?) to survey the area and draft a map in order to convince the court to incorporate Kabelang. The resulting map, which shows certain geographic features as well as indicating a route from Bangka to Danli and then to Kabelang, was widely circulated throughout Taiwan society, thereby shaping the basic spatial understandings of the region. In 1807, for example, Yang Tingli 楊廷理 (1747–1813) went to Kabelang via the map’s route to handle a matter concerning pirates. Afterward, Xiao Zhu’s map, which was sent to Beijing by being appended to Xie Jinluan’s 謝金鑾 (1757–1820) Gezainan jilue 蛤仔難紀略, became the source of knowledge for officials to apprehend the frontier area. Then based on Xiao’s map, Yang drew his new version to present an official point of view, which would become the map to convince the emperor and court to integrate the region under the Empire’s control. This article argues that the process of mapmaking displays how knowledge of the frontier gradually moved from local society, namely the illegitimate colonists outside of the Empire’s boundaries, to being of use to the Empire, all of which suggests a local turn during the Jiaqing period.

Sentimentalism and Contentious Politics: Emotions during Xu Banghe’s Road to Communist Revolution (1925–1930)

During the Chinese Communist Revolution, emotions played a crucial role in the involvement of revolutionary youth in politics, their participation in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and the triumph of the revolution. This paper attempts to reconstruct the mechanism of emotion and the mental world of young urban students who had joined the CCP from a bottom-up perspective by analyzing the diary of Xu Banghe 許邦和 (1911–1934), a student at Jiao Tong University. In Xu’s diary, one can note that within the post-May Fourth Movement context, new literature was popular and youth faced specific experiences concerning family life and love after the “liberation” of their minds, all of which largely universalized the negative and romantic emotions of boredom and sentimentalism in urban life; moreover, after the Nationalist Revolution of the 1920s, their disappointment with social reality and dissatisfaction with daily life caused their value system to undergo an acute crisis. The popularity of revolutionary literature, increased reading of Marxist and leftist materials, and emotional frustration in quotidian life prompted Xu to reflect bitterly on his “bourgeois” background. In the process of overcoming his sentimentalism, he attempted to escape the bitterness and triviality of daily life through reading and theoretical contemplation, strengthening his will to join the political movement of resistance. He hoped to join a more egalitarian organization, a shelter for his emotions, and to seek a new way of life and a just cause for the future through the organization in order to overcome his sentimentalism.

The Religious Question in Communist China: The Relationship between the Party-State and Protestant Christianity
[Abstract]

Looking back to the turbulent history from the late Qing dynasty to Republican China as well as the Communist regime after 1949, the challenges from state power have always been a matter of great concern of religions in China. After the founding of People’s Republic of China (PRC), the existence and demise of religion in socialist society has always been a core ideological issue. How has the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), as a revolutionary regime, understood and dealt with the religious question in the process of legitimacy building? How has China’s religious market been remolded and reconstructed amid radical political change? These are the kinds of questions that need to be clarified when investigating the religious question in Communist China. Adopting an analytical framework of religio-political relations, the present paper attempts to reconstruct the Party-state policy towards Protestant Christianity from the founding of the PRC to the outbreak of the Cultural Revolution. First, regarding the relationship between state and religion, how did the Party-state understand the religious question? More specifically, within the interactions between ideological considerations and realpolitik, how was a basis provided for the Party-state to involve itself in the field of religion? Second, with respect to the relationship between state and church, in what ways did the revolutionary regime manage to intervene in the religious market of China by installing a new institutional apparatus for religious affairs? Special emphasis is placed on the intrusion of state power at both the macro and micro level. Finally, focusing on the relationship between politics and religious organizations, this paper analyzes how the Protestant Church responded to political challenges in the context of “politicization” of the revolutionary era. How did political ideology reshape the theological discourse of Christianity in China?
