This is the story of the workers of Tianjin (Tientsin) and how, in the first half of the 20th century, they helped shape Tianjin's identity as the major industrial centre of North China. This text should be of interest to students of the period covered, and also to those students of Communist China who wish to understand the antecedents of China's current urban society and trace the roots of powerful continuities. The book offers a wealth of detail on material life, forms of entertainment, local festivals and individual rites of passage and makes use of studies of the local economy carried out by contemporaries and in the People's Republic. The Workers of Tianjin is a contribution to both Chinese labour history and urban history.

For nearly four hundred years the Changlu salt merchants played a leading role in the urbanization, commercial development, and social change of the city of Tianjin. As early as the fifteenth century, this small yet important group of citizens negotiated with the state as revenue-farmers, developing and defending their businesses and customs while evolving their own urban culture. In this the first detailed study in English of the mercantile activities and social role of Tianjin's salt merchants, Kwan Man Bun reveals how they helped stabilize the city and assumed many civic responsibilities, providing relief, charities, and other services to their fellow citizenry. Although these developments resemble the emergence of an idealized "public sphere" as in Europe, Kwan makes clear that Tianjin's social changes were not grounded on "rational discourse" but rather drew their strength and continuity from merchant networks based on exclusivity, wealth, education, and kinship.

In studying one of the world's oldest and most enduring musical cultures, academics have consistently missed one of the richest forms of Chinese cultural expression: performed narratives. Francesca R. Sborgi Lawson explores the relationships between language and music in the performance of four narrative genres in the city of Tianjin, China, based upon original field research conducted in the People's Republic of China in the mid 1980s and in 1991. The author emphasizes the unique nature of oral performances in China: these genres are both musical and literary and yet are considered to be neither music nor literature. Lawson employs extensive examples of the complex interaction of music and language in each genre, all the while relating those analyses to broader cultural issues and to patterns of social relationships. The narrative arts known as shuochang (speaking-singing) are depicted as genres that constitute a unique communicative discourse”the communication of stories in song. The genres subsumed under the native conception of shuochang include Tianjin Popular Tunes, Beijing Drumsong, Clappertales and Comic Routines. The maximum utilization of shuo (speaking) and chang (singing) in all their varying manifestations constitutes the vitality of the traditional narrative arts in the city of Tianjin”the center for these arts in North China. The variety of narrative forms provides entertainment for audiences representing all social strata of Chinese society. The author argues that Chinese narrative traditions represent a foundation from which certain Chinese literary and operatic traditions have borrowed, such as how the novels from the Ming-Qing period draw on the performed narrative arts both in style and in content. Hence, an understanding of performed narratives is not only useful to scholars in Chinese literature and music, but also to scholars interested in broadening their understanding of China generally.

The cities of Beijing and Tianjin have had a long and complementary relationship. Tianjin has been central to Beijing's development--just as Beijing has to Tianjin's--mainly due to its strategic coastal location. This book explores how the dual relationship between these cities (despite occasionally faltering when political ideology has overshadowed economic prosperity) has developed two very similar economies--one as the center of culture and politics, the other as the center of industrialization.

The history of foreign concessions in China has been subject to increasing attention both inside and outside of China. For the foreigners, the development of the concessions followed the Euro-American expansion/colonialism. For the Chinese, they developed into signs of the humiliation of China and its standing in the international community and, at the same time, they often became zones for the introduction of foreign technology from which later developments in China benefitted.While Denmark did not have concessions, Danes were there almost from the beginning, and purpose of this book is:- To illustrate the role played by Danes in the development of Tianjin as a treaty port and their interaction with other foreigners and the Chinese, citing the stories of some of the Danish migrant families who made Tianjin their base for longer or shorter time.- To ensure Tianjin its proper place in the history of Danes in China and of Danish relations with China.- To ensure that Danes and Danish archival material form part of international research on foreign concessions in Tianjin.

By the early twentieth century, Chinese residents of the northern treaty-port city of Tianjin were dwelling in the world. Divided by nine foreign concessions, Tianjin was one of the world’s most colonized and cosmopolitan cities. Residents could circle the globe in an afternoon, strolling from a Chinese courtyard house through a Japanese garden past a French Beaux-Arts bank to dine at a German café and fall asleep in a British garden city-style semi-attached brick house. Dwelling in the World considers family, house, and home in Tianjin to explore how tempos and structures of everyday life changed with the fall of the Qing Empire and the rise of a colonized city. Elizabeth LaCouture argues that the intimate ideas and practices of the modern home were more important in shaping the gender and status identities of Tianjin’s urban elites than the new public ideology of the nation. Placing the Chinese home in a global context, she challenges Euro-American historical notions that the private sphere emerged from industrialization. She argues that concepts of individual property rights that emerged during the Republican era became foundational to state-society relations in early Communist housing reforms and in today’s middle-class real estate boom. Drawing on diverse sources from municipal archives, women’s magazines, and architectural field work to social surveys and colonial records, Dwelling in the World recasts Chinese social and cultural history, offering new perspectives on gender and class, colonialism and empire, visual and material culture, and technology and everyday life.

Based on the wealth of data difficult to find in the West and previous studies on free economic zones (FEZs), this book discusses the development and structure of FEZs on the international, national and regional levels. In Part A, the world economic integration and its relation with FEZs is discussed. Following a general definition, a factor system and a systematic typology of FEZs, a structural and a spatial evolutionary model of world FEZs are advanced. These models improve the previous studies and provide a useful example for Chinese FEZs. In Part B, the necessity to establish FEZs in China is shown by looking back to China's economic and regional policies since 1949/50, and especially since 1978. The author describes the evolution and the general characteristics of China's FEZs and compares them with world FEZs. Finally, China's FEZs with 20 years experiences and their development in the future are discussed. Part C gives a brief historical overview of Tianjin's urban and economic development in the last hundred years in order to explain the economic and political situation for the setup and evolution of TEDA (Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area) since 1984. Here TEDA's achievement and problems until 2000 are evaluated. Its development trend is analyzed. In conclusion, TEDA's useful empirical evidence for the theory and practice of FEZs in China and around the world is discussed.
