Yuan Shikai (1859–1916) has been both hailed as China’s George Washington for his role in the country’s transition from empire to republic and condemned as a counter-revolutionary. Yuan Shikai: A Reappraisal sheds new light on the controversial history of this talented administrator and modernizer who endeavoured to establish a new dynasty while serving as the first president of the republic, eventually declaring himself emperor. Drawing on untapped primary sources and recent scholarship, Patrick Fuliang Shan offers a lucid, comprehensive, and critical new interpretation of Yuan’s part in shaping modern China.

This book documents the extraordinarily significant transfers and cultural diffusion between the Mongol Yuan Dynasty of China and Central and West Asia, which had a broad impact on Eurasian history in the 13th and 14th centuries. The Yuan era witnessed perhaps the greatest inter-civilisational contacts in world history and has thus begun to attract the attention of both scholars and the general public. This volume offers tangible evidence of the Western and Central Asian influences, via the Mongols, on Chinese, and to a certain extent Korean, medicine, astronomy, navigation, and even foreign relations. Turkic peoples and other Muslims played particularly vital roles in such transmissions. These inter-civilisational relations led to the first precise Western knowledge of East and South Asia and stimulated Europeans to discover new routes to the East. The authors of these essays, specialists in their respective fields, shine a light on these vital exchanges, which anyone interested in the origins of global history will find fascinating. “In this volume of wide-ranging essays, scholars from the United States, China and Europe present new insights into how the close relationship between Mongol China and Ilkhanid Persia, and the Mongol employment of Eurasians (many Muslims) of diverse origins, shaped Yuan politics, foreign trade, and culture (scientific knowledge, architecture, medicine), as well as the life of East Asia in the 13th to 14th centuries and beyond. Not surprisingly, in addressing the nature of cultural influence, and how it should or can be identified, measured, and assessed, these authors do not reach a consensus, but do shed light on issues of agency - Mongol, Chinese, and other - and in so doing offer up a wealth of fascinating detail about an era of broad interest to comparative historians of the premodern world as well as specialists on China.” - Ruth W. Dunnell, James P. Storer Professor of Asian History, Kenyon College “A central aim of this volume is to stimulate scholarly interest in the Yuan Dynasty, the ‘step-sister in the study of China.’ By providing a fascinating array of articles - ranging from Muslim maritime semi-colonialism to Chinese resistance of Islamic architectural and astronomical innovation, juxtaposed with medical and cartographical exchanges from West to East, as well as the political influence of Qip?aq Turks in Beijing and neo-Confucian Uyghurs in Chos?n Korea - it has thereby succeeded admirably.” - Johan Elverskog, Altshuler University Distinguished Professor, Southern Methodist University

In his book, he has taken a very pragmatic and thoughtful approach to contending with and managing the risks of transactions in Chinese Yuan, contributing to both the scholarship and practice of finance in the global economy. The Chinese yuan will become a major currency in the global marketplace and this book will help readers get ready.”Sharon Brown-Hruska Acting Chairman and Commissioner US Commodity Futures Trading Commission “Peter G Zhang's new book on the Chinese yuan is an important and welcome addition to the body of English language works pertaining to the development of Chinese financial markets. It offers a comprehensive overview of financial derivatives in China and as such is much more than an analysis of the issues dealing with the revaluation of the Chinese currency.”Leo Melamed Chairman Emeritus and Senior Policy Advisor Chicago Mercantile Exchange “The new book on Chinese yuan derivative products by Peter G Zhang is the most comprehensive one written so far on existing derivatives relating to the Chinese currency trading both onshore and offshore. I am sure it will prove to be of great value not only to international trade and financial participants but also for domestic Chinese financial institutions in product innovation as China further integrates into the world economy, both financially and trade-wise.”Shengman Zhang, Managing Director World Bank “Peter G Zhang's book on the Chinese yuan derivatives is a timely work analyzing the major derivative products trading in the offshore market based on systematic introduction of the Chinese economy and financial system. I highly recommend this book as it is useful for the international community with increasing trade and financial businesses with China and particularly valuable for Chinese financial institutions that began to accelerate derivatives businesses guided by the ‘Interim Rules on Derivatives Business of Financial Institutes.’”Li Fuan Deputy Director General China Banking Regulatory Commission “I commend Dr Peter G Zhang's highly readable new book on Chinese Yuan derivatives as essential reading for those who want to participate in the likely explosive growth of a sophisticated Chinese financial services industry over the next ten years. For financial practitioners China is the biggest market opportunity in the world today — but please do your homework and ignore this book at your peril!”Roy Leighton Chairman European Advisory Board, CALYON SA Chairman Futures & Options Association, London “Peter Zhang's new book on Chinese yuan derivative products is set to become essential reading for any participant in world capital markets as China continues its development towards becoming a key financial centre.”Tim Cook Regional Head Exchange Traded Derivatives — Asia Pacific, UBS “Peter Zhang's new book will be an important asset to international finance in general and to Chinese finance in particular.”Sangkee Min Professor Seoul National University, South Korea “Comprehensive and practical in its topical coverage, Peter Zhang's new book combines many years of experience working in the field of derivatives and a deep knowledge of the Chinese economic environment to provide a systematic treatment of issues surrounding the Chinese Yuan derivative products. Not only will this book be tremendously helpful for practitioners, it would also greatly benefit scholars and policy makers alike.”Jin Li Assistant Professor Harvard Business School “Peter G Zhang knows both the international and the domestic Chinese financial market. He proves this once more in his new book, Chinese Yuan (Renminbi) Derivative Products. Drawing on his more than ten years' experience in these markets he presents the international foreign exchange cash and derivative markets in a remarkably pragmatic way, easily leading the reader through the still inscrutable situation of today's Chinese derivative market.All in all, a book worth reading for all those involved in any way with this market; students and pragmatics, businessmen and risk managers, traders and investors.”Dr Jörg Franke Former CEO of Eurex “Peter Zhang's new book provides a sweeping overview of recent developments in China's economy, banking and capital markets. He uses his extensive knowledge of derivatives to review pragmatic issues related to the development of and trading in Chinese Yuan derivatives. Peter's writing style is very readable — and a must read — for any derivatives professional wishing to understand the growing role of the Chinese economy and the development and use of derivatives based on the Chinese Yuan.”William J Brodsky Chairman & Chief Executive Officer Chicago Board Options Exchange '

This book explores the life and work of Ruan Yuan (1764–1849), a scholar-official of renown in mid-Qing China prior to the Opium War, before traditional institutions and values became altered by incursions from the West. His distinction as an official, scholar, and patron of learning has been recognized by both his contemporaries and modern scholars. He was also exulted as an honest official and an exemplary man of the 'Confucian persuasion'. His name is mentioned in almost all the works on Qing history or Chinese classics because of the wide range of his research and publications. A number of these publications are still being reprinted today. This is the first full-length biography of Ruan Yuan in English, and the only one focusing on all aspects of the man's life and work in the context of his time. It follows Ruan Yuan from his childhood in Yangzhou, expansion of his intellectual horizons and political network in Beijing, his long service in the provinces handling some of the most thorny issues of the day in security and control, to the glory as a senior statesman in the capital, and retirement in Yangzhou.

Under Kublai Khan, the Mongols conquered the Southern Song Dynasty and established rule over China. The ensuing Yuan Dynasty, though in power for less than a century, was notable for its blending of Mongol and Chinese culture in drama, music, and painting, as well as government reform and public-works projects. In this riveting account, readers will learn about daily life in the Yuan Dynasty for both the upper classes and the common people, and they will join Kublai Khan on some of his ill-fated later invasion attempts.

This is the first anthology of Yuan-dynasty zaju (miscellaneous comedies) to introduce the genre to English-speaking readers exclusively through translations of the plays' fourteenth-century editions. Almost all previous translations of Yuan-dynasty zaju are based on late-Ming regularized editions that were heavily adapted for performance at the Ming imperial court and then extensively revised in the seventeenth century for the reading pleasure of Jiangnan literati. These early editions are based on leading actor scripts and contain arias, prose dialogue, and cue lines. They encompass a fascinating range of subject matter, from high political intrigue to commoner life and religious conversion. Crackling with raw emotion, violent imagery, and colorful language and wit, the zaju in this volume explore the consequences of loyalty and betrayal, ambition and enlightenment, and piety and drunkenness. The collection features seven of the twenty-six available untranslated zaju published in the fourteenth century, with a substantial introduction preceding each play and extensive annotations throughout. The editors also include translations of the Ming versions of four of the included plays and an essay that synthesizes recent Chinese and Japanese scholarship on the subject.

From the author of Out of a Far Country, which details his dramatic conversion from an agnostic gay man who put his identity in his sexuality to a Bible professor who now puts his identity in Christ alone, comes a gospel-centered discussion of sex, desire, and relationships. Dr. Christopher Yuan explores the concept of holy sexuality--chastity in singleness or faithfulness in marriage--in a practical and relevant manner, equipping readers with an accessible yet robust theology of sexuality. Whether you want to share Christ with a loved one who identifies as gay or you're wrestling with questions of identity yourself, this book will help you better understand sexuality in light of God's grand story and realize that holy sexuality is actually good news for all.

The Yuan Dynasty was different from other dynasties in the history of China, and so was its capital, Dadu, the city that laid the foundation for what would become modern-day Beijing. As the first publication of its kind, The Capital of the Yuan Dynasty presents the capital s history using a thematic approach. Starting from Beijing in the pre-Yuan Dynasty period, and the building of Dadu as a new city, the author introduces the layout of the city and imperial palaces, and then focuses on Dadu in detail from political, economic, and cultural angles. The Capital of the Yuan Dynasty references over 100 Chinese classics of the Yuan and succeeding dynasties, including Yuanshi (History of Yuan), Xijinzhi jiyi (Compilation of the Scattered Writings of the Gazetteer of Xijin ), and Tongzhi tiaoge (Legislative Articles from the Comprehensive Regulations ). Insights from contemporary prose, poetry and references from Goryeo Korea (Nogoltae and Pak T ongsa) complement the text."
