Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the concepts of "elastic society" and "ultra-stable structure" to explain the long-term stability and stagnation of traditional Chinese society, highlighting their differences in perspective, methodology, and conclusions [1][4]. Group 1: Elastic Society - The "elastic society" theory defines traditional Chinese society as having a "premature yet immature" elastic structure, capable of absorbing transformative energy through its diverse economic base and complex control systems, but unable to break free from established frameworks [1][3]. - This theory emphasizes the resilience of the multi-faceted structure, where new and old factors coexist, showcasing class conflicts and interactions between local gentry and state power, as well as the interplay of economic drivers and extra-economic forces [1][3]. - The theory also points out that while there are gradual internal adjustments, the society remains locked within its original structure, unable to achieve a fundamental transformation [4][22]. Group 2: Ultra-Stable Structure - The "ultra-stable structure" concept posits that traditional Chinese society, from the Qin to the Qing dynasties, exhibited a system characterized by periodic oscillations, where upheavals like dynastic changes and peasant uprisings occurred frequently but did not disrupt the deep structural stability [1][3]. - This structure is marked by a self-repair mechanism, where each upheaval leads to a restoration of the old political, economic, and ideological order, indicating a resistance to fundamental change [3][4]. - The theory highlights the rigidity of the system, where ideological and technological stagnation, along with policies that suppress commercial capital accumulation, hinder social progress [3][4]. Group 3: Comparison of Theories - Both theories differ in their historical explanatory focus, with the "elastic society" emphasizing micro-level resilience and adaptability, while the "ultra-stable structure" underscores macro-level systemic rigidity [4][5]. - The theories are complementary, with the "elastic society" providing a micro-foundation for the "ultra-stable structure," illustrating the tension between dynamic adjustments and systemic locks [4][5]. - The "elastic society" reveals the contradictions of absorbing transformative energy while being constrained by traditional norms, while the "ultra-stable structure" explains the deep mechanisms resisting qualitative change [4][5]. Group 4: Urban Types and Historical Context - The article contrasts two types of cities: "Su-Hang" and "Kaifeng," interpreting them through the lenses of the two theories, where "Su-Hang" embodies characteristics of an elastic society and "Kaifeng" exemplifies an ultra-stable structure [6][7]. - "Su-Hang" cities experienced economic expansion and a flexible interaction between local autonomy and central authority, while "Kaifeng" cities maintained a singular economic structure, lacking elasticity and remaining dependent on agricultural foundations [6][7]. - The geographical and historical contexts of these cities illustrate the broader dynamics of Chinese civilization, with the Jiangnan region favoring an elastic society and the Central Plains leaning towards an ultra-stable structure [7][8]. Group 5: Industrial Revolution and Response - The article discusses how the Industrial Revolution posed a challenge to the ultra-stable structure, leading to a breakdown of traditional systems through external and internal forces [11][12]. - The response to this disruption was marked by the "Self-Strengthening Movement," which emerged from the elastic society's resilience, indicating a shift towards modernization despite the constraints of the ultra-stable structure [12][14]. - The movement highlighted the tension between traditional structures and emerging capitalist dynamics, revealing the limitations of the elastic society in achieving a comprehensive transformation [21][24].
