About Powerful Relations

The realignment of the social order that occurred over the course of the Sung dynasty set the pattern for Chinese society over most of the later imperial era. Bossler examines that realignment from the perspective of specific families, using data on Sung elites-grand councilors who led the bureaucracy and locally prominent gentlemen in Wu-chou.
