Mothers and Sons in Early Imperial China

Open access

Abstract

À partir de certaines preuves, cet article fait le constat d’un déplacement du centre de gravité du pouvoir dans la famille, puis dans le lignage, par lequel s’est réalisée une relative montée en puissance de la mère – ou plutôt des mères, la plupart des grandes maisons ayant des concubines susceptibles d’influer sur leur politique. On montrera ainsi que l’élévation du statut et du pouvoir maternels correspond à une importance accrue de la famille comme « communauté émotionnelle ». Dans celle-ci, les relations et la hiérarchie sont déterminées au moins autant, sinon davantage, par les attaches émotionnelles entre individus que par les relations hiérarchiques commandées par les liens formels constitutifs du lignage. Cette évolution peut être observée à travers les sources textuelles à partir du iie siècle apr. J.-C., et jusqu’au ve siècle. Elle constitue non seulement une importante étape dans le développement de la cellule familiale en Chine, mais elle est aussi un moment significatif de l’histoire chinoise des sentiments.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In the Wu family shrines' Central scene, the lady shown frontally is positioned about 60-90 cm above ground, roughly at a kneeling adult's eye level.

    “Not coincidently, situated about 60-90 centimeters above the ground, the frontalpose lady in the Central scene in the Wu family shrines remained approximately at the eye level of a kneeling adult.46”

    From THE OVERSEEING MOTHER: REVISITING THE FRONTAL-POSE LADY IN THE WU FAMILY SHRINES IN SECOND-CENTURY CHINA* (2015) · cites this paper as [46]

    The passages from “Reaching its highest point” discuss mourning and mother–son ties, not the Wu family shrines. Searches for the shrines, the Central scene, the 60–90 cm height, and a kneeling viewer’s eye level found no passage addressing the claim in our copy (page numbers unavailable). (LLM, conf=0.75)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
