To what extent do newly available case records bear out our conventional assumptions about the Qing legal system? Is it true, for example, that Qing courts rarely handled civil lawsuits—those concerned with disputes over land, debt, marriage, and inheritance—as official Qing representations led us to believe?

柯伟林（W.C.Kirby），1981年获哈佛大学博士学位。曾任哈佛大学历史系主任、文理学院院长、哈佛大学盖辛葛尔历史教授、费正清东亚研究中心主任，是美国艺术及科学学院院士。1984年出版本书，备受好评；此后又发表了数篇有影响的论文，成为美国研究中国近代史的主要学者之一。其论文《近代中国的连续与变化》，论述了民国的经济计划和人才对日后大陆和台湾经济发展的作用，指出中国近代史研究不能以1949年作为界线；另一论文《中国的国际化》，展示了近代中国将国际上政治、经济、军事和文化模式本土化的努力，指出了对中国近代史的认识不能仅仅“以中国为中心”。这些论述极具影响，使得“连续与变化”和“国际化”成为西方中青年学者研读中国近代史的新视角。

Crime narrative again became one of the most prolific and best-loved forms of Chinese popular culture, and it often embodied the Chinese people's most trenchant and open critiques of their ne...(展开全部)
