From Estate to Class:Qu Qiubai's Study of Chinese Scholar-Gentry and Its Evolution in Modem Times
From the May Fourth Movement to the period of the 1925-1927 Chinese Revolution,Qu Qiubai has persistently focused on the issue of"the scholar class"in Chinese society,and pioneered the use of Marxist sociological methods to historically analyze this social group and its evolution.In addition to the class analysis,he also took the lead in adopting the sociological conceptual tool"estate"(fa yue)to grasp the scholar-gentry's status characters.With his attention to the peasant movement and the land issue,Qu Qiubai then preliminarily sketched a picture of the scholar-gentry's modem historical evolution,from the"aristocratic scholar-gentry"to the"landlord-gentry".Qu Qiubai's study of Chinese scholar-gentry is an intellectual heritage that cannot be ignored in the history of Chinese sociology.
