Abstract
Abstract In the late summer of the eighth year of the reign of the Chong Zhen Emperor (1635), Qi Biaojia (figure 1) was granted leave to quit his post with the Censorate and to return to his native place of Shanyin in Zhejiang province, ostensibly to care for his elderly mother. He anived home during the nud-morning of the last day of the sixth month and was to remain in retirement for the next 9 years. Family and friends had gathered to welcome him home, and in his diary for this year, entitled ‘A Joyous Account of My Return South,’ Qi Biaojia records the happiness of the occasion. His diary entlY for the velY next day, however, perhaps affords us a greater insight into his state of mind at the time:
