The Quantification and Reform of the Chinese Writing System in a Late Qing Bannerman’s Notebook

The Institute of Oriental Manuscripts of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Saint Petersburg, holds a curious notebook with a few loose pieces of paper folded among its pages. It is anonymous, but dated 1893. The manuscript has characteristics that link it to classical Chinese education, Manchu, and a kind of demotic Mandarin literacy; and it is obviously a product of the plurilingual written culture of late Qing bannermen. This article will be guided by the following questions: In what information management culture did the Saint Petersburg manuscript partake, and in what way did it innovate to carry that culture forward? How did it use the Manchu script, and what were the precedents for such usage? Answering these questions will show that modern Chinese book history, information management, and education cannot be properly understood without taking the Manchus and their particular linguistic resources into account.

Most studies over the years on the repatriation of the Taiwanese from Hainan Island after World War II have posited that an inadequate number of ships is the main reason for why the process took as long as it did. Based on a case study of the former Japanese merchant tanker
Harima Maru
播磨丸 (later renamed to SS
Hainan
海南號 after being seized by the Chinese), which returned the Taiwanese from Hainan Island in the spring of 1946, this article argues that the plan enacted by the Allied powers to repatriate Japanese troops from the Chinese theater after the war played a major role in the slow repatriation of the Taiwanese, a plan which prioritized Japanese troops over former colonial peoples (i.e., the Taiwanese) displaced by the war. Moreover, the few ships allocated by the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (GHQ-SCAP) for the Taiwanese repatriation effort were not dispatched in time, and the Second Front Army (later reorganized into the Guangzhou Camp) of the National army was thus forced to recover and utilize the
Harima Maru
, which had been stranded at Hainan Island. However, once the
Harima Maru
arrived in Taiwan, the GHQ-SCAP instead ordered the ship be used to repatriate the Japanese in Taiwan back to Japan, greatly disappointing Taiwan and those on Hainan Island, who were expectantly awaiting the
Harima Maru
to complete the repatriation operation, and further complicating the situation.

The triumph of the Chinese Communist Party in the Chinese Civil War, as a significant event in the history of Sino-US diplomatic relations, exerted a profound impact on the relationship between the two countries. In 1949, US Secretary of State Dean Acheson (1893–1971) presented the “China white paper”
titled United States Relations with China: With Special Reference to the Period 1944–1949
as a defense of his China policy, blaming the Kuomintang-led government for the failure of the Civil War. But Chiang Kai-shek (1887–1975) and his government responded to the criticism quietly, largely attempting to retain American aid. After Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890–1969) was elected as president of the United States,
Foreign Relations of the United States
, China series, was published to release the official papers on China in full and repudiate the Truman administration’s white paper, but the two documents were ultimately quite similar in content. In the 1960s, to counter the China series, the government of Chiang Kai-shek adopted certain propaganda measures and published
General Stilwell in China, 1942–1944: The Full Story
, attempting to settle the decade-old score. The present study reveals not only Chiang Kai-shek and his administration’s perception of the loss of China but also the patterns of propaganda formulated under stresses emanating from the US. As this research holds, Chiang Kai-shek was certain that the US should shoulder a larger responsibility for the defeat of the KMT in the Civil War, especially Acheson, George C. Marshall, Jr. (1880–1959), and State Department officers and diplomats in China, all of which carried out the policy of destroying him under the “influence of the Soviet Union.” His views shared similarities with those of US Senator Joseph McCarthy (1908–1957) in the 1950s and led to the birth of General Stilwell in China, which was popular in Taiwan but received mixed reviews in the US because of Stilwell’s reputation and shifting opinions on the “loss of China.”

The Record of the Partition and Destruction of Poland
波蘭分滅記 was one of the books Kang Youwei submitted to the emperor during the Reform Movement of 1898. The book’s main contents, relevant historical events, and academic significance have been usefully explored and analyzed in existing studies, but certain issues, including its compilation, source materials, compilation methods, and its relationship with Liang Qichao’s “Record of the Destruction of Poland” 波蘭滅亡記, have not been given sufficient discussion. On the basis of a review of the relevant historical materials, this article provides a brief supplement to previous studies and further analyzes the historical value of the
