>
> The latest issue of /China Heritage Quarterly/takes as its theme the
> ancient notion of '/shengshi/', or Prosperous Age. Such 'golden ages'
> have varied in length and content, but it is commonly recognized that
> during the Han, Tang and Qing dynasties there were remarkable periods
> of social grace, political rectitude and cultural flourishing. The
> self-proclaimed Prosperous Age of today's People's Republic has been
> nearly a century in the making; its achievement is far more contentious.
>
> In this issue, we feature the views of a number of prominent historians
> who, in late March 2011, gathered in Hawai'i for a roundtable at The
> Association for Asian Studies annual conference to discuss China's
> Prosperous Age, its histories and significance. We also include 'New
> Words of Warning in a Prosperous Age', which discusses the Children of
> Yan'an whose sense of China's impending political and social crisis have
> led them to formulate an appeal to the Chinese Communist Party's next
> congress, scheduled for late 2012.
>
> Other notable articles include Daniel Sanderson's recent interview with
> the Sinologist Pierre Ryckmans; a review of a major exhibition of the
> work of Felice Beato by the New York-based photographer Lois Conner; a
> critique by Michael Churchman of the language policies of China's
> Confucius Institutes; and Geremie R. Barmé's reflections on the 'exit' of
> China's most troublesome artist, Ai Weiwei. We are also glad to feature
> Duncan M. Campbell's translation of the Song period poet and scholar Su
> Shi's essay on an unusual collection of books.
>
> /China Heritage Quarterly/is an online publication produced under the
> aegis of the China Heritage Project in the Australian Centre on China in
> the World at The Australian National University.
