    • 1977, Jean Chesneaux, Françoise Le Barbier, Marie-Claire Bergère, translated by Paul Auster and Lydia Davis, China from the 1911 Revolution to Liberation‎[2], Pantheon Books, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, pages 78, 85:
      In 1920, the five provinces of Zhili, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, and Shenxi (those affected by the terrible famine of 1876-1878) suffered severe drought. […]
      In the summer of 1921, a militant nationalist from the province, Yu You-ren, launched a movement for the independence of Shenxi, supported by a “Citizens’ Assembly.” For the Guomindang, the operation had strategic as well as political interest. Shenxi, where Sun Yat-sen had looked for support in 1911 and again in 1916, offered the Canton dissidents a possible base for diversionary operations in the North, as well as for taking their enemy in the rear.
    • 1978, Jing Su, Luo Lun, translated by Endymion Wilkinson, Landlord and Labor in Late Imperial China: Case Studies from Shandong (Harvard East Asian Monographs), number 80, Cambridge, Mass., London: Harvard University Press, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, pages 26, 307:
      Jing and Luo do not discuss what part the landlords themselves actually played in the running of the farm; it presumably varied according to the number and extent of their other businesses, but, in general, they appear to have acted through their foremen rather than directly supervising or dealing with the other laborers. Thus, in a farm manual written for his sons by a managerial landlord from Shenxi province in the first part of the nineteenth century, the farmer is urged to check this or that activity of the foremen.
