Publisher Summary 1
The Ming dynasty (1368-1644) is often considered the high point of autocracy in Chinese history, says Schneewind (history, U. of California-San Diego), and in order to show the nature of that autocracy in relation to society, she examines one centrally mandated local institution. She explains how the community school was neither an independent local institution, nor merely an instrument of imperial control, but was sponsored, debated, and manipulated by emperors, central and local officials, and gentry and commoners all over the empire.

Publisher Summary 2
According to imperial edict in pre-modern China, an elementary school was to be established in every village in the empire for any boy to attend. This book looks at how the schools worked, how they changed over time, and who promoted them and why. Over the course of the Ming period (1368-1644), schools were sponsored first by the emperor, then by the central bureaucracy, then by local officials, and finally by the people themselves. The changing uses of schools helps us to understand how the Ming state related to society over the course of nearly 300 years, and what they can show us about community and political debates then and now.
