“Greeting Tablets” in Early China
View through CrossRef
Since the 1930s, Chinese archaeologists have discovered a number of inscribed
wooden tablets from the early Han to the Western Jin, which were identified as
“greeting tablets” of two types, ci 刺 and ye 謁. As
attested in transmitted accounts, these tablets played an important role in the
communicative etiquette of early imperial and early medieval officialdom; during
a meeting ceremony, they were presented by the guest to the host. The present
article offers a systematic survey of the available corpus of excavated greeting
tablets and explores their wider socio-cultural implications. As a component of
the communicative etiquette of the bureaucracy, greeting tablets were
instrumental in the adaptation of elements of aristocratic culture to the needs
of mass officialdom—a new social stratum that in terms of cultural
background differed fundamentally from the hereditary aristocracy of the
pre-imperial era but occupied a comparable position as a social and political
elite.
