Research Interests

I focus on the political history of Song China. Although political history seems like an old paradigm, with in influence of "dynamic institional history" and environmental history studies rised in the last two decades, studying the river management executed by the imperial government throughout the middle and the late period of Northern Song Dynasty could creat a new narrative to explain the state building process and the interaction between scholar-officials, eunuchs and the emperor during this period.

Recently, I am also exploring Muslims in Qing Empire, and my monograph co-edited with other scholars about the Muslims in the Veritable Records of Successive Reigns of the Qing Dynasty before 1800 is coming out this year.
