Item type:Publication, The intended perceptions of the imperial gardens of Chengde in 1780Imperial gardens have formed a particularly rich medium for the geographical analysis of interactions of culture and place. In the application of the methodology developed by recent scholarship for the study of garden history, I try to make use of contributions in landscape studies, cultural geography and cartography to reveal the Qing ideology of garden representation. I discuss the function of gardens in the expansion of the Qing empire and use as a case study the gardens of Chengde.Type:journal articleJournal:Studies in the History of Gardens and Designed LandscapesVolume:19Issue:3/4 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Railroad literature on suitable places : How the Japanese government railways forged an "old China" travel cultureThis empirical study on advertising campaigns and the art of running trains in distant places finds its theoretical significance in a view of history where real and imagined geographies interact. The railroad companies of the Japanese Empire did much more than transport passengers and carry freight: their express trains embodied a particular view of a world centered on racial, nationalist and dynastic myths. Modernity as ideology and the everyday experience of colonialism combined in Manchuria to generate a particular perception of China as a decadent and romantic culture.Type:book sectionIssue:7 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Review of A Paradise Lost. The Imperial Garden Yuanming YuanBook review of A Paradise Lost: The Imperial Garden Yuanming Yuan. By Young-Tsu Wong. Honolulu: University of Hawai‘i Press, 2001. ISBN 0-8248-2328-1. Yuanming Yuan has become the most famous garden of imperial China thanks to its well-documented and tragic history. The nationalism of Chinese historians and the enthusiastic endorsement of Westerners - Victor Hugo used to compare Yuamming Yuan to the Parthenon - have combined to turn the ruins of the Yuanming Yuan into a major tourist attraction today. At the very beginning of the 18th century the Kangxi emperor (r. 1662-1722) supervised the simultaneous construction of two new garden complexes, the court's principal residence of Yuanming Yuan in Haidian (Beijing) and the summer residence of Bishu Shanhuang in Chengde.Type:book reviewJournal:The China QuarterlyVolume:2002Issue:170 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Making an Imperial Landscape in Chengde, Jehol : The Manchu Landscape EnterpriseDissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Division of Social Sciences of the University of Chicago in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy This study of the Qing summer capital and its environment has had two main ambitions. I have wanted to understand better the origins of cultural landscape in China by looking closely at the way two Qing emperors shaped and rendered a particular landscape in a border area. I have hoped to join in the writing of union and disunion in Chinese history by adding a geographer's contribution to the debate on the identity of the last dynasty to reign over China. For that purpose I have thought useful to rely on landscape as a major source of information.

Item type:Publication, Bishu shanzhuangFrom 1703 to 1820, the Qing dynasty (1644-1912) had its summer capital in the city of Chengde, north of the Great Wall. Twice as big as the Yuanming Yuan summer palace of Beijing, Bishu Shanzhuang (Mountain Resort to Flee Summer Heat) of Chengde is today China's largest imperial park.Type:newspaper articleJournal:Encyclopedia of Modern AsiaVolume:2009Issue:5
