Thesis (Ph.D.)--Indiana University, 1983.

The Sung represented a reunification of the Chinese empire by a native dynasty after the disastrous dissolution of the T'ang. But, while the T'ang had been a cosmopolitan, Catholic empire, accepting, embracing and grafting many foreign elements onto Chinese culture, the Sung was an almost reactionary dynasty. The power of the military was drastically curtailed, as were the boundaries of the state. Society was more closed to foreign ideals and customs, more "Chinese" than the T'ang had been. Yet the Sung had to deal with foreign peoples in a way which the T'ang had not been forced to do--as a power among equal, if not superior powers, namely the Liao and Hsi Hsia empires. Within this context of a more closed, Chinese, Confucian society, that was forced to deal diplomatically and pragmatically with other powers, the career of Yu Ching (1000-1064) was typical of these times. He was a native of Kuangtung Province where his family had lived in obscurity since their flight from Fukien during the Huang Ch'ao rebellion. Yet he was able to pass the chin shih examination and embark on a career that would take him into one of the most powerful political circles of the Sung, that of the reformers Fan Chung-yen and Ou-yang Hsiu. He became one of four censors of titular policy in 1043, an appointment reinstituted by the emperor during a time of crisis with the Liao and Hsi Hsia. He was sent three times (1043-1045) to the Liao court because he had mastered their language. Through his role as envoy, he was instrumental in averting domination of the Sung by foreign powers. Thus the focus of this dissertation is the intense political situation, Yu Ching's role in it, and the personalities, both Chinese and foreign, who played major parts. An historical background is given of the Northern Sung, Liao, and Hsi Hsia empires. Then biographical information on Yu Ching is examined. Following this is the background and an analysis of the political crisis (1041-1045) in which translations of the Sung Shih's account of the decisive battle of Hao-shui Ch'uan and Ou-yang Hsiu's discussion of the meetings between Yu Ching and Liao leaders are given. Finally there is a close translation and annotation of Yu Ching's treatise on the bureaucratic structure of the Liao government which he was able to observe first hand.Subjects--Topical Terms:
