During the MingQing transition (roughly from the 1570s to the 1680s), literatiofficials in China employed public forms of writing, art, and social spectacle to present positive moral images of themselves and negative images of their rivals. The rise of print culture, the dynastic change, and the proliferating approaches to Confucian moral cultivation together gave shape to this new political culture. Confucian Image Politics considers the moral images of officialsas fathers, sons, husbands, and friendscirculated in a variety of media inside and outside the court. It shows how power negotiations took place through participants' invocations of Confucian ethical ideals in political attacks, selfexpression, selfdefense, discussion of politically sensitive issues, and literati community rebuilding after the dynastic change. This first booklength study of early modern Chinese politics from the perspective of critical men's history shows how imagesthe Donglin official, the Fushe scholar, the turncoat figurewere created, circulated, and contested to serve political purposes.The open access publication of this book was made possible by a grant from the James P. Geiss and Margaret Y. Hsu Foundation.
