To construct this story, the book uses a previously unknown source of inscriptions recorded on stone tablets. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJinping Wang explores a north China where Mongol patrons, Daoist priests, Buddhist monks, and sometimes single women--rather than Confucian gentry--exercised power and shaped events, a portrait that upends the conventional view of imperial Chinese society. Setting the stage by portraying the late Jin and closing by tracing the Mongol period's legacy during the Ming dynasty, she delineates the changing social dynamics over four centuries in the northern province of Shanxi, still a poorly understood region.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jinping Wang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674987152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674987159\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.80w x 1.20d","brand":"Jinping Wang","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054605299967,"sku":"9780674987159","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1b5c4884-eaf5-4f5b-a840-eda4e4b2d3a5.jpg?v=1685030919","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-the-wake-of-the-jinping-wang-9780674987159","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
