Abstract

Ding Wenjiang was a rare and versatile figure among modern Chinese scholars, combining exceptional specialized knowledge with administrative ability. In discussions of Ding’s short but colorful ife, his activity in 1926, when he served under the warlord Sun Chuanfang as the Director-General of Greater Shanghai, is a most controversial subject. Because of the paucity of source materials regarding this matter, however, this period constitutes a formidable challenge to historians researching Ding’s life. Fortunately, we are now in a somewhat more favorable position to delineate his activities in 1926 due to the availability of archival and other new materials. A collection of Ding’s documents totaling approximately a thousand pieces, which had been all but forgotten in the collection of the Institute of History and Philology, Academia Sinica, is now available to the academic community. Most of these documents cover the period during Ding’s tenure of office as Director-General of Greater Shanghai, and the majority are letters and telegrams received by him. This paper will attempt to fill an existing historiographical gap in Ding’s life. In it, I will address Ding’s political career in Shanghai based primarily on my organization of these important source materials, using other relevant sources for reference, especially contemporary periodicals such as the Shenbao and Minguo Ribao. I will explore in concrete and meticulous terms Ding’s role and function in Sun Chuanfang’s organization during this period of political flux and turmoil.
