    Summary Of Taste In Late-Ming China

    In late-Ming China, even though tea drinking had been accepted by the whole society, tea tasting remained its aesthetic function, in which people believed that it could reflect the taste and the social status of the drinkers. The relationship between taste and social status has been studied by some scholars. In the very influential Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste, Pierre Bourdieu argues that taste, the faculty of perceiving beauty and the capacity to discern aesthetic values, functions to legitimize social differences and establish one’s social orientation or “sense of one’s place.” After comparing the cultural pattern in both Ming and early modern Europe, Clunas has noticed that,…

    Chinese Culture 1800-1900

    It goes without question from 1800-1900 China was experiencing a decline, which had not been seen for quite some time. Problems such as overpopulation started to take its toll on the once-known elite nation, sending them into famine, lower standard of living, extreme mistreatment of females, especially at young ages and an unfit government that allowed chaos to unfold. Conflict arose in China, but was it due to internal affairs of the Chinese people and government, wanting to maintain its superiority over the West, or were outside forces to blame for the extreme change in culture? Both of these aspects united to form seemingly the perfect storm that sent Chinese culture into a downward spiral for excess of 60 years.…
