Studies on social transformation during the Yuan-Ming-Qing period based on Huizhou sources

在这项研究中，我通过分析作为中国地方社会保存的最重要的文献来源的徽州文献，以及其他地方文献如家谱，来研究宋元明清时期中国地方史的大跨度转型。作为宋代以来中国社会史最重要的主题之一，我试图考察中国东南地区世系组织形成和转变的长期过程。我特别关注了小尺度谱系的发育，以及谱系形成中的墓地和森林山脉极，这是以往中国谱系研究中没有得到充分讨论的。此外，我还介绍了西方中国历史学术对宋元明过渡时期的讨论，并与日本对这一时期的研究进行了比较，分析了农村社会的识字文化，这对前现代中国的社会转型具有重要意义。

In this study, I researched the long-span transformation of Chinese local history during the Song-Yuan and Ming-Qing period by analyzing Huizhou documents that are the most important documentary sources preserved in local society of China, and other local sources such as genealogies. I try to examine long term process of formation and transformation of lineage organization in Southeast China as one of the most important theme of Chinese social history from the Song period. Especially I paid attentions to the development of small scale lineage and the pole pf gravesite and forested mountains in the lineage formation, both of which have not been sufficiently discussed in previous studies on Chinese lineage. In addition, I introduced discussion on the Song-Yuan Ming transition period in Western scholarships on Chinese history compared with Japanese researches on this period, and analyzed literacy culture in rural society, which has important meanings in the social transformation of pre-modern China.
