Consequently, many people from Fujian Province, especially Zhangzhou city, went to Manila and facilitated the operation of the city. This paper examines the interactions of Zhangzhou immigrants in Manila, focusing their roles and living situations in Parián, the designated neighborhood for the Sangleys. In particular, the diplomatic conversation concerning the 1603 Incident is analyzed to elucidate how the Sangleys were perceived by both the Ming court and the Spanish governors. Records produced by Chinese elites, local gazetteers, and Spanish correspondence reveal the conflicts and negotiations between the Ming government and officials of the Spanish Empire concerning this matter, as well as local and state differences in views. While the contributions of the Sangleys were recognized and used to promote the moral superiority of both sides, they were not seriously considered by either the Chinese court or the Spanish government. The Sangleys offer a unique perspective on the positioning of these two state powers: Each desired to maintain a peaceful relationship yet simultaneously adopted a cautious stance. This study illuminates some of the connections and conflicts which emerged during early modern globalization.}, number={7}, journal={Sillares.

During the seventeenth century crisis, China witnessed the decline and fall of the Ming dynasty. Scholars have long discussed the role of silver in the Ming crisis, but less attention has been paid to the effects of the production and circulation of silk. This paper examines both internal and external factors that contributed to the decline of Chinese sericulture and silk production, as well as consequent damages to the economy and social relations. Converging environmental and economic factors within major silk-producing regions, as well as a number of incidents that affected the Pacific trade of silk, exacerbated the problems of the late Ming. This paper applies the Law of Supplies and Demands to analyse interconnections between China, Manila, and New Spain. An understanding of the silk industry is essential to explain significant economic connections both within Ming China and between China and the outside world during the seventeenth century.}, number={1}, journal={MING QING YANJIU}, author={Duan, Xiaolin}, year={2022}, month={Jun}, pages={60–91} }

One of the most remarkable collections was Newly Compiled Striking Views within the Seas (1609) by Yang Erzeng. The collection served as a travel guidebook and included visual images along with geographical information about places of interest. This paper focuses on its two fascicles of West Lake and discusses how these incorporate geographical knowledges from the Song Dynasty with adapted images from both landscape-painting manuals and woodblock drama illustrations. Comprised of a combination of poems, paintings, and calligraphy, this book was appealing to both sophisticated and mass-market audiences. Consumers of the book and its images saw these as tangible embodiments of cultural tropes, suggestions for sightseeing, and a particular way of seeing. As a new model for circulating knowledge about famous places, this work meditated between traditional gazetteers and the newly developed tourist market to reshape concepts about place and mobility.}, journal={TWELFTH INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION OF ASIA SCHOLARS (ICAS 12)}, author={Duan, Xiaolin}, year={2022}, pages={137–145} }

Eight studies examine key features of Chinese visual and material cultures, ranging from tomb design, metalware, ceramic pillows, and bronze mirrors, to printed illustrations, calligraphic rubbings, colophons, and paintings on Buddhist, landscape, and narrative themes. Questions addressed include how artists and artisans made their works, the ways both popular literature and market forces could shape ways of looking, and how practices and imagery spread across regions. The authors connect visual materials to funeral and religious practices, drama, poetry, literati life, travel, and trade, showing ways visual images and practices reflected, adapted to, and reproduced the culture and society around them. Readers will gain a stronger appreciation of the richness of the visual and material cultures of Middle Period China.}, booktitle={Visual and Material Cultures in Middle Period China}, publisher={Brill Press}, author={Duan, Xiaolin}, editor={Huang, Susan Shi-shan and Ebrey, PatriciaEditors}, year={2017}, month={Jul}, pages={151–190} }
