Abstract

Professor Erkes discussed the problem of Chinese slavery for the first time in 1937 (Artibns Asiae, vol. 6, pp. 294-308) in a review-article on T. Pippon's translation of the superficial study of Wang Shih-chieh on slavery (Mitt. d. Deutsch. Ges. f. Natur- & Vblkerk. Ostasiens, vol. 29, part B, Tokyo 1936). In his new article, Erkes resumes his researches in connection with a recent article on the subject by T. W. Stepugina (Sowjetliteratur 1951, No. 1, pp. 109-132). As, according to a Communist theory, mankind passed through a stage of slave-society before reaching the higher stages of feudal and capitalist society, Russian and Chinese authors have been trying for the last 20 years and more to prove the existence of such a stage in Chinese history. Differences of opinion between different writers exist only in the question of exactly when China passed through this stage and how long it lasted. To give just a few examples: a) Slave society lasted from ca. 2200-1000 B.C.: Teng Ch'u-min (Chung-kuo she-hui-shih chiao-ch'eng, first ed. Shanghai 1941, 2nd ed.
