How did ordinary people in the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) deal with the demands of the state? In The Art of Being Governed, Michael Szonyi explores the myriad ways that families fulfilled their obligations to provide a soldier to the army. The complex strategies they developed to manage their responsibilities suggest a new interpretation of an important period in China's history as well as a broader theory of politics.
Using previously untapped sources, including lineage genealogies and internal family documents, Szonyi examines how soldiers and their families living on China's southeast coast minimized the costs and maximized the benefits of meeting government demands for manpower. Families that had to provide a soldier for the army set up elaborate rules to ensure their obligation was fulfilled, and to provide incentives for the soldier not to desert his post. People in the system found ways to gain advantages for themselves and their families. For example, naval officers used the military's protection to engage in the very piracy and smuggling they were supposed to suppress. Szonyi demonstrates through firsthand accounts how subjects of the Ming state operated in a space between defiance and compliance, and how paying attention to this middle ground can help us better understand not only Ming China but also other periods and places.

讀後感
翻了翻笔记，从1月29号开始看，每天从写志的时间中抽出约一个小时阅读，到3月20日正式读完。收获不小。本书可以笼统概括为“上有政策下有对策”的研究，但若是仔细探究又会觉得这种概括太过于简略而忽略了很多细节。要完整概述本书主题不容易：在明代军事制度下，民众是如何应...
評分我完全不认为此书属于华南学派或历史人类学的著作，这本书的基本关照/研究侧重都与华南学派大相径庭，信仰和历史结构的形成都不是其考虑的对象。此书就是典型的制度史著作，只不过作者在考察阶段借鉴了历史人类学的方法，又与华南学派关系较为紧密而已。这样“活的制度史”对于...
評分为了确保军队维持在一定的规模，明朝实行了一项军户制度。简略地说，军户制度就是从民户中选出一部分定为军户，要求每个军户必须保证任何时候始终提供一名士兵在军队服役。如果在服役的士兵病死、战死或出现其他意外状况，对应的军户必须再提供一个新的男丁补充。这名正在服役...
評分平素读书，喜好读史，以明心智。年轻时候，眼高气盛，喜欢读“大历史”：史记汉书、资治通鉴、人物传记、诸子原典……沉浸于上下五千年的滔滔长河，纵揽风云际会的胸胆开张，读得久了，也会做青史留名的梦，幻想自己也能像历史上的贤才名将似的建一番功业。然而，我们中的绝大...
用戶評價
the second time of english reading session the author told a good.story about the military institution in the Ming dynasty. the art of not being governed by Scott，what's the difference? being away from government or wielding the legal world weapons focus on the important content ！
评分The conversation with James Scott is interesting. Not sure if I like the engagement with Foucault.
评分簡直就是曆史寫作的典範！ 越來越覺得曆史呀，就是關於時間的民族誌。
评分有點意思
评分繼承瞭傳統漢學見微知著的特點，從微觀研究中探討基本的「國傢-社會」的宏大問題，在如今的美國中國史研究中顯得尤為難得。太久沒讀明代研究，感覺還是那麼熟悉。
