	Shanghaiing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shanghaiing was the act of forcibly conscripting someone to serve a term working on a ship, usually after having been rendered senseless by alcohol, drugs or a sharp blow to the head.
		The practice of shanghaiing men was not limited to Pacific ports, but due to the efforts of Samuel Plimsoll, the United Kingdom passed the Merchant Shipping Act in 1876, which severely curtailed the practice.
		The term "shanghai" supplanted the older term of "crimping" or "sailor thieves" in late 1852-early 1853 in San Francisco.

		Verbs may be discussed in terms of their behaviour with aspect markers, adverbs, reduplication, compounds.
		Part of verbs can be reduplicated to signify either the shortness of time, the repetition of the action, or an informal casual action, or simply to emphasize the verb.

	Tales of Old China
		Western visitors to Shanghai reported a "treaty port mentality" amongst foreigners here, while Chinese residents were prone to "Yangjingbang culture," a term describing the foreign-influenced habits, dress amd speech of many of Shanghai's Chinese residents.
		The Chinese in Old Shanghai also lived in their own world, denied many of the comforts and privileges of the Westerners but nevertheless thriving in the environment created by the existence of the foreign-controlled enclave.
		The ambiguities of Shanghai's situation, the legal basis on which it was founded and the support it could rely on, all started to come to a head in the 1920s.

		Shanghai is more highly motorized than any other Chinese city, so the streets echo with the hooting of truck horns and trolley buses as well as the bells of all the bikes.

	LISTSERV 14.4
		The verb "shanghai" is generally thought to be derived from the name of the city Shanghai, probably by way of "shanghai" = "kidnap for a long voyage, such as one to Shanghai", or possibly "shanghai" = "kidnap, as is done in Shanghai".
		An alternative evolution can be considered: "shanghai" [verb] = "kidnap, as a shanghai does", where the noun is primary; the obvious source of the noun would be "shanghai" [noun] = "Shanghai rooster [or hen]", conventional usage in the 1850's AFAIK, but I don't know why the hijacker would be likened to a fancy long-legged fowl.
		Another possibility is that the primary sense of "shanghai" [verb] was not "put on shipboard by drug or force" but rather "pass off [an ignorant landlubber] as an able seaman" as in the 1857 citation.

		Shanghai became a county in 1292 and would gradually grow from a steady population of 500,000 in the 1800's to 4 million by World War II.
		Besides Shanghai, Wu speakers are concentrated in two small and adjacent coastal provinces of Zhejiang and Jiangsu (the municipality of Shanghai is squeezed between the two provinces).
		For example, the Shanghai (Taihu Pian) and Taizhou dialects are two of several regional dialects of Wu Chinese, they cannot be considered as dialects of Mandarin (which has its own plethora of regional dialects).

		Stretching north from there in a gentle crescent are the lavish neoclassical buildings that suggest Shanghai’s reign in the 1920s and ’30s as one of the most cosmopolitan and hedonistic cities in the world.
		The result was a housing type unique to Shanghai: low-rise apartment buildings that looked Western on the outside but inside faced shared courtyards and allowed several generations to live together (or at least adjacent to one another).
		But in Shanghai, they knew their clients would prefer, even insist on, some Chinese elements, so they covered Jin Mao’s tapering tower with narrow horizontal bands of metallic ornament that suggest the upturned roofs of pagoda architecture.

	Sanghaji art deco bútor/Shanghai-style Art Deco Furniture, Terebess-gyűjtemény
		Shanghai families, ever thrifty, continued to use the fancier furniture of an earlier era, and only now with increased prosperity are they looking for replacements.
		By 1930, Shanghai had become a bustling cosmopolitan metropolis, the fifth largest city in the world, and China’s largest harbor and treaty-port—a city that was already an international legend ("the Paris of Asia") and a world of splendored modernity set apart from the still tradition-bound countryside that was China.
		I believe that a cultural map of Shanghai must be drawn on the basis of these new public structures and spaces, together with their implications for the everyday lives of Shanghai residents, both foreign and Chinese.

		By 1930, Shanghai had become a bustling cosmopolitan metropolis, the fifth largest city in the world, and China's largest harbor and treaty-port--a city that was already an international legend ("the Paris of Asia") and a world of splendored modernity set apart from the still tradition-bound countryside that was China.
		What made Shanghai into a cosmopolitan metropolis in cultural terms is difficult to define, for it has to do with both "substance" and "appearance" -- with a whole fabric of life and style that serves to define its "modern" quality.
		Whereas this gilded decadent style may be a fitting representation of the "Jazz Age" of the "Roaring Twenties" in urban America, it remained something of a mirage for Chinese readers and filmgoers--a world of fantasy that cast a mixed spell of wonder and oppression.
