 China in the Twentieth Century: OYCF 2001 Retreat Summary
Jin noted how China's central planning system was shaped by Mao's experience of relying on peasant movements, and by the decision to have the agricultural sector subsidize industrialization.
China's traditional agriculture took the form of intensive and small-scale farming, but collectivization deprived peasants of their ultimate shield of protection and incentive to work.
China developed a huge empire in its very early years and for the most part of its long history it regarded itself as the center of the world, treating neighboring states as subordinates.

Min deftly describes Orchid's power struggles and the defiance she encounters from the Emperor's board of regents, whose only expectation of a woman is compliance.
With her skillful writing and precise research, Min shows Orchid to be a passionate woman, a loving mother, and a pioneer of reform — a woman as vibrant and tormented as China itself.

Emperor Yuan of Jin (晋元帝/晉元帝, pinyin Jìn Yuándì, Wade-Giles Chin Yüan-ti) (276-January 3, 323), personal name Sima Rui (司馬睿), courtesy name Jingwen (景文), was an emperor of the Jin Dynasty (265-420) and the first of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
His reign saw the steady gradual loss of Jin territory in the north, but entrenchment of Jin authority south of the Huai River and east of the Three Gorges, and for generations Jin was not seriously threatened by Wu Hu kingdoms to the north.
Emperor Yuan feared him, and therefore began to group men around him who were against Wang Dun as well, such as Liu Huai (劉隗) and Diao Xie (刁協) — men of mixed reputation who, in their efforts to suppress the Wangs’ power offended many other people.
