Tomoyasu IIYAMA is a Professor at Waseda University's School of Humanities and Social Sciences, specializing in premodern Chinese history with a focus on the Jin-Yuan period and Mongol rule in China. His research examines how local elites in North China maintained status through dynastic transitions using stone inscriptions and genealogical records. Dr. IIYAMA earned his PhD in Literature from Waseda University, where he has been teaching since 2009. His field research across North China has documented hundreds of stone inscriptions that reveal patterns of social continuity and change during periods of foreign rule. His research interests center on how ethnic identity, kinship organization, and political power intersected in premodern China. He investigates how local elites in North China navigated the transitions between Jurchen (Jin Dynasty), Mongol (Yuan Dynasty), and native Chinese (Ming Dynasty) rule, often maintaining status through strategic adaptation while preserving cultural identity. His work demonstrates how stone inscriptions serve as crucial historical sources for understanding social history beyond official dynastic narratives. Dr. IIYAMA's publications reveal a consistent focus on how local societies in North China maintained continuity despite dramatic political changes. His work on genealogical steles shows how families preserved historical memory across dynastic boundaries, with particular attention to how ethnic identity was constructed and reconstructed over time.
