The authors of this paper argue that such groups did not take effect until about the 2nd quarter of the 20th century. Before that, it was a fraternal society called Chee Kung Tong that helped the Chinese to put their act together. With a large margin of majority being members, the Tong ruled over the community well before the WWI. We further suggest that when CKT pulled out from Arizona around 1950 for a variety of reasons, its power vacuum was transitioned to another fraternal society, Ying On Merchants and Labor Association. Our argument is based on the newly identified religious shrine once belong to Chee Kung Tong as well as the archival materials at the Special Collections of the University of Arizona Library. Our research is part of a larger effort in documenting Chinese shrines/temples built in America before 1920. Some data in this paper comes from site visits of that project.

First, why did West Asian pottery was need in China, starting from the 9th century, when China was already the leading ceramic making country of the world? Why the 12th-14th centuries saw many more Middle Easterners visiting and residing in China, yet imported West Asian ceramics were scarcer in China than two centuries earlier. In the conclusion it is argued that by 1200 AD or so, West Asians in China had undergone a process of cultural naturalization that may have caused them to be less interested in the manufactured products of their homeland.

That reverse traffic consisted mainly of such well-known commodities as incense and glass wares. However, even ceramics were shipped from West to East. Middle Eastern glazed earthenware of the 9th-10th century have been recovered at archaeological sites in the Thai-Malay Peninsula, the Philippines, China and Japan. Two papers by Mikami (1984; 1985) represent the only comprehensive work to have focused on this issue so far. This paper amplifies Mikami's views, adding new information and examining more closely the role of Middle Eastern ceramics in that early phase of West-East trade.

Asia” in Special Issue on 15th century Asian Ceramics, Taida Journal of Art History, September, No. 7: pp.1-28. Taiwan National University, Taipei. The paper discuss reasons of the decline of Chinese ceramic trade creating opportunities for potters in Thailand, Burma, and Vietnam.

Among the many ceramics imported from China, wares from the 9th and early 10th century Changsha kilns, Hunan were most noticeable for their colors and pictorial/calligraphic designs. This paper puts together the finds in Thailand and discusses briefly why an inland production center could be successful in maritime trade.

Having been a major seaport for East, Southeast, and South Asian long-distance trade for centuries, many kilns in Minnan area were set up with the international market in mind.

This is what my paper is about. It is the people who made things happen. We are here to study the objects made, used and traded by people in history. Slide 1 This is the front cover of a recent Thai publication, showing imaginary scenes at an ancient Thai kiln. In the middle of the foreground is the kiln. On the far left is another team of workmen unloading the wares from another kiln, and bringing the products to the boat to sell to a Chinese man. Note that most of the workers are women, elegant women. This particular point is in fact not too far from the truth. Today many traditional potters in Thailand are women. Slide 2 blank

The sites were dated to the first half of the 9 th century by cultural context and inscriptions. The finding of Ding ware was expected. It is quite common at coastal sites of that period in Southeast Asia. However, the presence of Gongxian ware, whose provenance was ascertained by NA analysis, came as a surprise. That ware had not previously been known to form part of the 9 th century assemblage of Chinese export ceramics.

The Chinese government however was present only in four - 1904, 1915, 1926, and 1933. My paper argues that World’s Fairs were
windows for Chinese-American to develop a new identity and consciousness in America.

Chinese women in North America played a surprisingly important role during the 19th century.

For the following discussion, I will use Asian ceramics to illustrate some of those cultural responses. I will first outline briefly a historical account of ceramic trade between the East and the West in the last millennium, up to the 18th century, after which I will discuss several aspects of interaction between Europe and Eastern Asia.

Chinese Traditional Religion and Temples in North America, 1849-1920: California. 美国华人早期传统宗教活动 -加州部分, 1850-1920, 2022

A 1920 cutoff does not limit us in terms of subject matter, for the great majority of the traditional Chinese temples that have ever existed on this continent had appeared and disappeared again by then. Our purpose in describing them is not just to show students of religious and ethnic history that temples are potential sources of vital information but also to convince non-academics that early Chinese places of worship once existed in their areas, and that a high priority should be placed on preserving their remains.

We chose to use the term"Northwest" in the title because it refers unambiguously to the area covered by the book: southern Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Idaho, western Montana, and Oregon.
