The author uncovers the history of civil society activism in China by examining the study societies in Shanghai, Beijing, and Hunan, which were organized around the goal of promoting and defending the Confucian religion. Illustrating a facet of the civil society that emerged in China as a reaction to the influences of Christianity, the modernization of Confucianism, and nationalist state formation, this study extends understanding of the unique and complex processes of Chinese political and cultural modernization in ways that differed from that of Western societies. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 1644-1912|2fast 650 0 Learned institutions and societies|zChina|xHistory.|0https ://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009129409 650 7 Learned institutions and societies.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/994807 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Politics and government.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1919741 650 7 Civilization.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/862898 651 0 China|xPolitics and government|y1644-1912.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85024164 651 0 China|xCivilization|y1644-1912.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85023996 651 7 China.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1206073 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aChen, Hon Fai.|tCivilizing the Chinese, competing with the West.|dHong Kong : Chinese University Press, [2017]|z9629966344|z9789629966348|w(OCoLC)880566059 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2171781|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
