Rogaski focuses on multiple manifestations across time of a single Chinese concept, weisheng-which has been rendered into English as "hygiene," "sanitary," "health," or "public health"-as it emerged in the complex treaty-port environment of Tianjin. Before the late nineteenth century, weisheng was associated with diverse regimens of diet, meditation, and self-medication. Hygienic Modernity reveals how meanings of weisheng, with the arrival of violent imperialism, shifted from Chinese cosmology to encompass such ideas as national sovereignty, laboratory knowledge, the cleanliness of bodies, and the fitness of races: categories in which the Chinese were often deemed lacking by foreign observers and Chinese elites alike.Asia--local studies/global themes.Health behaviorChinaPublic healthChinaasia.china.chinese history.chinese medicine.cleanliness.confucius.cosmology.diet.discrimination.disease.east asia.eastern medicine.ethnicity.health and wellness.health care.health.history of medicine.hygiene.imperialism.japan.japanese history.madness.medication.medicine.meditation.modernity.nonfiction.personal hygiene.prejudice.public health.qing.race.racial science.racism.sanitation.science.sovereignty.tianjin.treaty port.urban history.weisheng.Health behaviorPublic health362.1/0951/09034Rogaski Ruth1016633MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783315603321Hygienic modernity2379524UNINA
