The Art of Doing Good: Charity in Late Ming China

by Joanna Smith (Author)

Synopsis

Analyzing lecture transcripts, administrative guidelines, didactic tales, and diaries, this title abandons the facile explanation that charity was a response to poverty and social unrest. It examines the social and economic changes that stimulated the fervor for doing good.
