City Networks in Early Imperial China (III BCE-III CE). Territorial Control and Kinship Logics
The fertile area of the Yellow River valley in the north of China is characterized by the early rise of urban settlements, and the rapid development of walled cities since at least the 15th century BCE. In this article we propose to study the kinship logics that underlaid...

I28-R145-10920_oai2025-11-17 Villagrán, Ignacio Fini, Melina 2021-11-30 The fertile area of the Yellow River valley in the north of China is characterized by the early rise of urban settlements, and the rapid development of walled cities since at least the 15th century BCE. In this article we propose to study the kinship logics that underlaid the network of cities during the early imperial period, with a special emphasis on the Han dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE). We will revisit the foundation of cities in relation with the processes of territorial expansion and the consolidation of a government structure that maintained the tensions between magistrates designated by the central court to fulfill administrative duties in the provinces of the empire, on the one hand; and the hereditary nobles that were part of the imperial clan, on the other. In spite of the problems of the duplication of figures of authority in the main urban centers of the empire, it was in fact due to this dual-government structure that the networks of cities allowed for the territorial expansion and control that sustained the four centuries rule of the Han dynasty. El área de la llanura fértil del río Amarillo en el norte de China se caracteriza por la temprana aparición y acelerada proliferación de los núcleos urbanos, y el rápido desarrollo de las ciudades amuralladas desde el siglo XV a.e.c. En este artículo, nos proponemos investigar las lógicas de parentesco subyacentes en el entramado de ciudades durante el período imperial temprano, con especial énfasis en la dinastía Han (206 a.e.c.-220 e.c.). Revisaremos la fundación de ciudades en relación con los procesos de expansión territorial y de consolidación de un esquema de gobierno que mantuvo las tensiones entre los magistrados designados para cumplir con funciones administrativas en las provincias del imperio, por un lado, y los nobles hereditarios que formaban parte del clan imperial, por el otro. A pesar de los problemas que se derivaban de la duplicación de figuras de poder en los principales centros urbanos del imperio temprano, fue gracias a este esquema de gobierno dual que las redes de ciudades permitieron la expansión y control territorial que facilitó el gobierno de la dinastía Han por más de cuatro siglos. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rihao/article/view/10920 10.34096/rihao.n22.10920 spa Instituto de Historia Antigua Oriental, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rihao/article/view/10920/9748 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rihao/article/view/10920/9768 Revista del Instituto de Historia Antigua Oriental 'Dr. Abraham Rosenvasser'; Núm. 22 (2021) 2683-9660 0325-1209 Early China cities hereditary nobles kinship goverment China antigua ciudades nobles hereditarios parentesco gobierno City Networks in Early Imperial China (III BCE-III CE).

The fertile area of the Yellow River valley in the north of China is characterized by the early rise of urban settlements, and the rapid development of walled cities since at least the 15th century BCE. In this article we propose to study the kinship logics that underlaid the network of cities during the early imperial period, with a special emphasis on the Han dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE). We will revisit the foundation of cities in relation with the processes of territorial expansion and the consolidation of a government structure that maintained the tensions between magistrates designated by the central court to fulfill administrative duties in the provinces of the empire, on the one hand; and the hereditary nobles that were part of the imperial clan, on the other. In spite of the problems of the duplication of figures of authority in the main urban centers of the empire, it was in fact due to this dual-government structure that the networks of cities allowed for the territorial expansion and control that sustained the four centuries rule of the Han dynasty. |
