郯城 / Tancheng

郯城 / Tancheng is the Shandong county setting of [[JonathanSpence|史景迁]]’s [[TheDeathOfWomanWang|《王氏之死》]]. 148. 王氏之死：断井颓垣上的历史妆镜 presents it as a devastated Qing local society rather than a neutral backdrop: the 1668 earthquake, famine, drought, locusts, Manchu conquest violence, bandits, taxes, corvee obligations, and transport-route burdens shape the conditions around [[WangShiTancheng|王氏]]’s murder.

The county matters to the wiki because it joins disaster history to gender and legal history. [[TanchengCountyGazetteer|《郯城县志》]] records official events and local destruction, while [[HuangLiuhong|黄六鸿]]’s [[FuhuiQuanshu|《福惠全书》]] adds case practice and governing detail. The episode uses Tancheng to show Natural Hazard As Social Disaster at household scale: disaster, tax, hunger, shame, and law become constraints on intimate life.
