By examining the practice of Miao customs under the imperial government’s direct ruleduring the Qing dynasty, this article examines how this rule was implemented in the newly opened western Hunan Miao frontier. It also reviews the existing explanations of social transformation since the Ming dynasty, which emerged from changes determined by external factors such as state institutions, immigration, and material resources. This article shows that the frontier Miao customs were an organic component of the local cultural mechanism and social order. The establishment of direct governance over the Miao frontier experienced vigorous interaction between the state-promoted cultural system and the existing Miao customs. Having incorporated the political legacies of previous dynasties, Miao customs played a crucial part in shaping flexible and pluralistic direct rule in the Miao frontier region. Overall, they produced conditions that saw infrastructural development, civil and military duties, a legal system, household registration, and taxation. They also directly contributed to the outbreak of the Miao uprising in the reigns of the Qinglong and Jiaqing Emperors.

Medical Treatment, Law and Local Society: A Re-exmination of the “Liu Liang Medical Case” in the Republic of China

The “Liu Liang medical case” refers to a famous dispute in modern Chinese history. In July 1929, Mr. and Mrs. Liu Liqing had sent their young son, Liu Xuande, to Xiangya Hospital and Qiu Ming Hospital for diagnosis and treatment. Unexpectedly, after he used Antipyrine given him by the physician Liang Hongxun, Xuande died within a day. This led to nearly six years of legal proceedings. Broadly speaking, the case evolved from civil mediation to public opinion, and from criminal proceedings to civil proceedings. Throughout this process, not only did the family of the deceased boy and the doctor constantly accuse and litigate against each other, but also many forces emerged around the identification of the right to this discourse of contention. In that sense, the medical dispute itself was not a static site of binary opposition. Rather, it was the result of the overlapping and entanglement of many historical processes, such as medicalization, judicialization, socialization and localization. The “Liu Liang medical case” highlights the structure and hierarchy of medical disputes in modern China, reflecting the multi-dimensional nature of the historical local medical ecology of the Republic of China.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, a cooperative relationship was established between Yan Xishan and the Guomindang (GMD, Kuomintang), to make it possible for the GMD to return to Shanxi Province. However, Yan Xishan’s forces that circled between the GMD, the Chinese Communist Party, and Japan also spontaneously formed an organization with the nature of a local political party, the National Revolutionary Comrades’ Association, to compete with the forces of all parties. In order to maintain cooperation with Yan, Chiang Kai-shek tried to make greater concessions in matters such as party affairs development and personnel dispatch in exchange for the stability of Yan’s side. In this process, Huang Shufen, the Secretary of the GMD’s Shanxi Provincial Party Department, played an important role in strengthening ties between Chiang and Yan, reconciling relations between the Party, the government, and the army in Shanxi, and resolving local conflicts. In addition, the investigation of Huang Shufen’s personal career as a representative of the GMD’s middle-level Party cadres helps us to understand the tension of the war situation, the strong centrifugal tendency of the local power factions, and even factional struggles within the GMD.
