“… 5. Schneewind (2018: 11–12) demonstrates how, many centuries later under the Ming, elite and popular political discourses on “public vice and virtue” and on praise or blame for particular local officials, continued to be constructed within the frameworks of these much earlier cosmological categories of correlation. By that later period, however, the imagined field of forces had become a still more intensely “resonant” cosmos (of “movement and response”)—one stretched wider, to encompass many “lesser spirits” including the “spirits of dead humans,” and even, controversially, the righteous spirits of worthy men still living. …”

This analysis aims to place certain key elements of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) rule observed under Xi Jinping today into longer and fuller historical perspective. It highlights trademark CCP practices of ordering space, marking time, potent political messaging, and vigorous propaganda diffusion as these have evolved over many years up to the present, reconsidering these in light of early Chinese cosmological thought and later symbolic practices of empire.

Approaching the prison as a creative environment and imprisoned o cials as creative subjects in Ming China (1368-1644), Ying Zhang introduces important themes at the intersection of premodern Chinese religion, poetry, and visual and material culture. The Ming is known for its extraordinary cultural and economic accomplishments in the increasingly globalized early modern world. For scholars of Chinese religion and art, this era crystallizes the essential and enduring characteristics in these two spheres. Drawing on scholarship on Chinese philosophy, religion, aesthetics, poetry, music, and visual and material culture, Zhang illustrates how the prisoners understood their environment as creative and engaged it creatively. She then o fers a literature survey on the characteristics of premodern Chinese religion and art that helps situate the questions of "creative environment" and "creative subject" within multiple elds of scholarship. Readership All interested in premodern Chinese religion, poetry, art, and material culture, and anyone interested in prison culture and Confucian-educated Chinese. For more information see brill.com
