AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the order of villages and cities
The Xiong Lab studies the society, economy, law, and culture of China from the 16th to the 20th century, with a particular focus on the Huizhou region.
The lab has explored how the structure of traditional Chinese society was formed and how it changed over time.
Using village landscapes, human connections, and social conflicts such as disputes and litigation as clues, the lab examines the mechanisms and principles that maintained order within society, as well as the interaction between the state and society.
Recently, the lab has focused mainly on the urban structure of Beijing in the 18th to 20th centuries, from the perspectives of technology, institutions, and the social economy.
