O ver the years I have incurred many debts, undoubtedly many more than what I will be able to acknowledge here. My most heartfelt thanks go to my PhD advisors, Benjamin Elman and Angela Creager. The reading seminar that I took with Ben on the history of East Asian science marked a point of no return in my journey as a scholar. At that juncture of my intellectual curiosity, his erudition proved to be a most fitting shoulder for my obsession with pluralist interpretations of the pastfar more and richer than what I have been able to absorb. Similarly, the unparalleled support that I received from Angela made the History of Science Program at Princeton a comfortable second home. Although I ultimately changed the geographical focus of my research, Angelas versatilityas revealed in academic contexts and otherwiseguided me through difficult times and made possible exciting moments in my doctoral study. Even though they granted me a great deal of liberty in the process of completing my dissertation, they always knew when and where to push me, when and where to encourage me, and how to make me come to terms with the shortcomings of my writing. Their wise counsel, intellectual freedom, and unwavering support will continue to inspire me in the future. I will consider it a success if I can achieve even a fraction of what they have accomplished. This book takes an important first step in that direction.
