About the Book Tales from Five Thousand Years o f Chinese History is a collection of stories arranged in chronological order, covering a period from ancient times to the pre-Opium-War Qing Dynasty. The topics were selected by educator and linguist. Lin Handa (I goo-19721, who drew up the outline for the collection and contributed some chapters. Following Lin's death, Cao Yuzhang (1924-1996) took over his mantle and completed the work. This combined effort of two consecutive authors has enjoyed wide appeal by virtue of its historical accuracy, well-structured narrative, fluent writing and distinctive style. The bilingual Tales from Five Thousand Years o f Chinese History I[III covers a period of history from the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the last years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. For the sake of brevity, the original Chinese work has been slightly abridged in this bilingual edition. & 5E 1 8 9 ¥, ¥(Х + Щ^ММ ?«Я1НРЙ, ft-.iBfflPI. 6 М * Ж М . Я -Ж Л :# ¥ И Ж *«.

Yuan Shao Kills the Eunuchs In 189 AD. Emperor Ling of the Han dynasty died. He was succeeded by his 14-year-old son Liu Bian. who became Emperor Shao. In accordance with practice. Empress Dowager He acted as regent, with the reins of power entrusted to General-in-Chief He Jin. who was a maternal relative of the emperor. One of the newly empowered He Jin's first acts was to arrest and execute Jian Shuo, a eunuch who had been captain of the Palace Guard, who had recently attempted to assassinate him. Under He Jin's command was a subcommander of the Middle Army by the name of Yuan Shao. who was descended from a family of mandarins. For four generations the family had provided officials of exalted rank, including Defenders- In-Chief. Ministers of Education or Ministers of Works (the so-called sun gong, or Three Dukes), to the state. The fact that many officials of the imperial court had also been students or subordinates of members of this renowned family further added to its power and influence. After the execution of Jian Shuo. Yuan Shao advised He Jin to eradicate the influence of the eunuchs once and for all. arguing "Dou Wu once tried to eliminate the eunuchs, but ended up instead being killed by them when news of the plan was leaked. Now that you have control of the army, you mustn't pass up this opportunity to remove them for good." Afraid to take sole responsibility for such a decision.

И Sbati Kills the Eunurhs Jin consulted the empress dowager on the matter. She adamantly rejected the idea. Yuan Shao then suggested another approach. He urged He Jin to secretly order troops to converge on the capital with a view to forcing the empress dowager to go along with the plan to eliminate the eunuchs. He Jin agreed and began to muster troops stationed in various parts of the country. Of all the regions. Bingzhou (covering the bulk of today's Shanxi Province and parts of Inner Mongolia and Hebeil possessed in his estimation the strongest military force, which was under the command of governor Dong Zhuo. A messenger was dispatched with a letter for Dong Zhuo, instructing him to march on Luoyang without delay. The eunuchs soon got wind of the plan. A number of them came to the same conclusion. "If we don't act now. it will be the end for us all." They set dozens of armed men in ambush inside the palace, then summoned He Jin for an audience with the empress dowager. Once inside the palace. He Jin walked into the trap set by the eunuchs and was killed by the armed men waiting for hom. When news of He Jin's murder reached Yuan Shao. he immediately instructed his brother Yuan Shu to launch an assault on the imperial palace. Yuan Shu started a fire and burned down the palace gate before large numbers of his troops surged into the palace grounds and began attacking every eunuch in sight.

  • The Paradigm of Hakka Women in History
    DOI: 10.4312/as.2021.9.1.31-64 31 The Paradigm of Hakka Women in History Sabrina ARDIZZONI* Abstract Hakka studies rely strongly on history and historiography. However, despite the fact that in rural Hakka communities women play a central role, in the main historical sources women are almost absent. They do not appear in genealogy books, if not for their being mothers or wives, although they do appear in some legends, as founders of villages or heroines who distinguished themselves in defending the villages in the absence of men. They appear in modern Hakka historiography—Hakka historiography is a very recent discipline, beginning at the end of the 19th century—for their moral value, not only for adhering to Confucian traditional values, but also for their endorsement of specifically Hakka cultural values. In this paper we will analyse the cultural paradigm that allows women to become part of Hakka history. We will show how ethical values are reflected in Hakka historiography through the reading of the earliest Hakka historians as they depict- ed Hakka women. Grounded on these sources, we will see how the narration of women in Hakka history has developed until the present day. In doing so, it is necessary to deal with some relevant historical features in the construc- tion of Hakka group awareness, namely migration, education, and women narratives, as a pivotal foundation of Hakka collective social and individual consciousness. Keywords: Hakka studies, Hakka woman, women practices, West Fujian Paradigma žensk Hakka v zgodovini Izvleček Študije skupnosti Hakka se močno opirajo na zgodovino in zgodovinopisje.

Shrubs, subshrubs, trees, or herbs. Leaf blade palmately lobed or entire, basal veins 3 or more. Flowers axillary, usually solitary, sometimes subterminal and ± congested into a terminal raceme, 5-merous, bisexual. Epicalyx lobes 5 to many, free or connate at base, rarely very short (H. schizopetalus) or absent (H. lobatus). Calyx campanulate, rarely shallowly cup-shaped or tubular, 5-lobed or 5-dentate, persistent. Corolla usually large and showy, variously colored, often with dark center; petals adnate at base to staminal tube. Filament tube well developed, apex truncate or 5-dentate; anthers throughout or only on upper half of tube. Ovary 5-loculed or, as a result of false partitions, 10-loculed; ovules 3 to many per locule; style branches 5; stigmas capitate. Fruit a capsule, cylindrical to globose, valves 5, dehiscence loculicidal and sometimes partially septicidal or indehiscent (H. vitifolius Linnaeus). Seeds reniform, hairy or glandular verrucose. About 200 species: tropical and subtropical regions; 25 species (12 endemic, four introduced) in China. According to recent molecular studies (Pfeil et al., Syst. Bot. 27: 333–350. 2002), Hibiscus is paraphyletic, and as more taxa are sampled and a more robust phylogeny is constructed, the genus undoubtedly will be recast. Species of other genera of Hibisceae found in China, such as Abelmoschus, Malvaviscus, and Urena, fall within a monophyletic Hibiscus clade.

  • Macbeth's and ZHUGE Liang's Fate Explained Through I Ching
    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 497 Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Literature, Art and Human Development (ICLAHD 2020) Macbeth’s and ZHUGE Liang’s Fate Explained Through I Ching Liguo LOU1a 1Department of General Education, Changzhou Institute of Engineering Technology, Changzhou, Jiangsu 213164, China a [email protected] ABSTRACT I Ching, also translated as Yijing or The Changes, is a work on the "law of change" that is universally applicable to the natural world and human society. It originated from China but belongs to all the human kind. It is a treasure to the world civilization and is still valuable to all walks of life. The philosophy of I Ching’s Kun Hexagram is used to analyze the fate of two literary characters: Macbeth and ZHUGE Liang. Macbeth’s collapse of nice fame and good fortune lies in his dashing out of the way of a subordinate in his “top-yin” period; by contrast, ZHUGE Liang’s integrity and prosperity lies in his humility from his “first-yin” period to the “top-yin” period. Keywords: I Ching, Macbeth, ZHUGE Liang, the Kun Hexagram opposite to the Qian Hexagram. Its attribute is “devotion”. 1. INTRODUCTION It signifies receptivity, submission, humility, faithfullness. Contrary to the Qian Hexagram, the Kun Hexagram is Can I Ching (The Law of Chang) be used to predict the fate made up of six yin lines. From the bottom to the top, they and fortune of literary figures? Of course not. Literary are called: the 1st yin (“yin” is also called “six”), the 2nd yin, figures are different from real-life figures in that their fates the 3rd yin, the 4th yin, the 5th yin, and the top yin.

  • The Romance of the Three Kingdoms Podcast. This Is Episode 144. Last
    Welcome to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Podcast. This is episode 144. Last time, Jiang Wei had launched yet another Northern campaign, trying to catch his enemies off guard while they were dealing with an internal rebellion by Zhuge Dan. This time, Jiang Wei was focusing his attention on the town of Changcheng (2,2), a key grain store for the Wei forces. He put the town under siege and it looked like the town was about to fall. But just then, a Wei relief force showed up. Sigh, I guess we’ll have to take care of these guys first. So Jiang Wei turned his army around to face the oncoming foe. From the opposing lines, a young general rode out with spear in hand. He looked to be about 20-some years old, with a face so fair that he looked as if he were wearing powder, and his lips were daubs of red. This young man shouted across the field, “Do you recognize General Deng?!” Jiang Wei thought to himself, “That must be Deng Ai.” So he rode forth to meet his foe, and the two traded blows for 40 bouts without either gaining an edge. Seeing that the young warrior showed no signs of faltering, Jiang Wei figured he needed to pull some shenanigans to win this fight. So he turned and fled down a mountain path on the left. The young general gave chase, and as he approached, Jiang Wei pulled out his bow and fired an arrow at the man. But his foe had sharp eyes and quickly dodged the arrow.

    From Translation to Adaptation: Chinese Language Texts and Early Modern Japanese Literature Nan Ma Hartmann Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Nan Ma Hartmann All rights reserved ABSTRACT From Translation to Adaptation: Chinese Language Texts and Early Modern Japanese Literature Nan Ma Hartmann This dissertation examines the reception of Chinese language and literature during Tokugawa period Japan, highlighting the importation of vernacular Chinese, the transformation of literary styles, and the translation of narrative fiction. By analyzing the social and linguistic influences of the reception and adaptation of Chinese vernacular fiction, I hope to improve our understanding of genre development and linguistic diversification in early modern Japanese literature. This dissertation historically and linguistically contextualizes the vernacularization movements and adaptations of Chinese texts in the seventeenth to eighteenth centuries, showing how literary importation and localization were essential stimulants and also a paradigmatic shift that generated new platforms for Japanese literature. Chapter 1 places the early introduction of vernacular Chinese language in its social and cultural contexts, focusing on its route of propagation from the Nagasaki translator community to literati and scholars in Edo, and its elevation from a utilitarian language to an object of literary and political interest. Central figures include Okajima Kazan (1674-1728) and Ogyû Sorai (1666-1728). Chapter 2 continues the discussion of the popularization of vernacular Chinese among elite intellectuals, represented by the Ken’en School of scholars and their Chinese study group, “the Translation Society.” This chapter discusses the methodology of the study of Chinese by surveying a number of primers and dictionaries compiled for reading vernacular Chinese and comparing such material with methodologies for reading classical Chinese.
