The Romance of the Three Kingdoms Podcast. This Is Episode 78. Hey
Welcome to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Podcast. This is episode 78. Hey, guess what? We just passed the midway point of the novel, and guess what? We still don’t have three kingdoms in this Romance of the THREE Kingdoms. But stay with me, because we’re about to take a big step toward that this week. So last time, we left Liu Bei in a bit of a dicey situation. His plot with Zhang Song to take over the Riverlands leaked out, and Zhang Song lost his head because of it. Not only that, Liu Zhang was at long last on to his dear kinsman’s true intentions and ordered his men to strengthen defenses at all the key points. While this was going on, Liu Bei was putting into action his own plan, which called for pretending that he was leaving the Riverlands. His first stop was going to be Fucheng (2,2), and he sent word on ahead to the two generals defending Fu (2) River Pass that he would like to bid them goodbye before he left. The two officers, Yang (2) Huai (2) and Gao (1) Pei (4), had long been suspicious of Liu Bei, and they decided that this would be the perfect opportunity to assassinate him. So they each stashed a dagger under their clothes and took 200 men with them to go see Liu Bei. Meanwhile, as Liu Bei was approaching the Fu (2) River, his military strategist Pang Tong advised him, “If Yang Huai and Gao Pei come to meet us without hesitation, we must be on guard. -
Prohibition of Jiatou Zaju in the Ming Dynasty and the Portrayal
PROHIBITION OF JIATOU ZAJU IN THE MING DYNASTY AND THE PORTRAYAL OF THE EMPEROR ON STAGE Tian Yuan Tan (Chen Tianyuan) INTRODUCTION: THE TERMS JIATOU AND JIATOU ZAJU Portraying the emperor on stage was not at all uncommon in the Yuan dynasty (1260-1368). This can be gathered from the fact that the emperor role, designated by the term jiatou, is one of the cus- tomary role types in Yuan drama.' According to the Qinglouji (The Green Bower Collection), a valuable collection of short biograph- ical notes on performers in the Yuan dynasty compiled around 1364, jiatou is one of the waijiao (extra roles) in zaju besides the fe- male and male lead roles, clan (female) and mo (male): [These extra role types] include the jiatou, the beauty pining in her boudoir, the bawd, the coquettish young girl, the high official, the poor, the brigand, the government servant, and those categories concerning immortals and Taoist deliver- ance, and family matters.'- The term "jiatou" originally referred to the throne of the emperor which an old eunuch would carry in front of the emperor's carriage on an imperial tour of inspection.' Since jiatou was an important insignia of an imperial tour, the modern Chinese scholar Sun Kaidi suggests that the term "jiatou zaju" must therefore involve at least a certain scene of the emperor going out in a carriage, as found in Act Three of both Hangong qiu (Autumn in the Palace of Han) and Tian Yuan Tan, "Prohibition of Jiatou Zaju in the Ming Dynasty and the Portrayal of the Emperor on Stage," MING STUDIES, 49, pp. -
Engaging with Socialism in China: the Political Thought and Activities of Chen Gongbo and Tan Pingshan, 1917-1928
Engaging with Socialism in China: The Political Thought and Activities of Chen Gongbo and Tan Pingshan, 1917-1928 Xuduo Zhao PhD University of York History May 2019 1 Abstract This thesis investigates Chen Gongbo (1892-1946) and Tan Pingshan (1886-1956), two significant Cantonese Marxists who helped found the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 1921. I use Chen and Tan as a lens to re-examine the dissemination of Marxism in May Fourth China and the underlying tensions in 1920s Chinese revolution. My study demonstrates that it was in the changing educational system in the early 20th century that Chen and Tan gradually improved their positions in the cultural field and participated in the intellectual ferment during the May Fourth period. At Peking University they became familiarised with Marxism. Their understanding of Marxism, however, was deeply influenced by European social democracy, as opposed to many other early communist leaders who believed in Bolshevism. This divergence finally led to the open conflict within the CCP between Guangzhou and Shanghai in the summer of 1922, which also embodied the different social identities among early Chinese Marxists. After the quarrel, Chen quit while Tan remained within the party. During the Nationalist Revolution, both Tan and Chen became senior leaders in the Kuomintang, but they had to face yet another identity crisis of whether to be a revolutionary or a politician. Meanwhile, they had to rethink the relationship between socialism and nationalism in their political propositions. This study of Chen and Tan’s political thought and activities in the late 1910s and 1920s offers a different picture of Chinese radicalism and revolution in the early Republican period. -
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms Podcast. This Is Episode 39
Welcome to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Podcast. This is episode 39. Last time, Cao Cao had just put another smackdown on Yuan Shao when he was distracted from his work by news that Liu Bei was trying to make a sneak attack on his capital Xuchang. So Cao Cao quickly turned around and met Liu Bei en route. Liu Bei won their first clash, but then was met with silence from Cao Cao’s camp the next two days, which made him very suspicious. Liu Bei did not have to wait long for his fears to be justified. Word soon came that his officer Gong (1) Dou (1) had been ambushed while delivering provisions and was presently surrounded by Cao Cao’s troops. So Liu Bei quickly dispatched Zhang Fei to bail him out. Just then came word that a force led by Cao Cao’s general Xiahou Dun had sneaked around Liu Bei and was on its way to attack Runan (3,2), Liu Bei’s home base. “If that is the case, I am under siege from front and back, and I have no way home!” a concerned Liu Bei said. So he sent Guan Yu off to protect Runan. But within a day, word came that Runan had fallen to Xiahou Dun and that Liu Pi (4), the guy Liu Bei had left in charge, had fled the city and that Guan Yu was now trapped by Xiahou Dun’s forces. Just as Liu Bei was panicking, more bad news arrived: Apparently Zhang Fei, who had gone off to save Gong (1) Dou (1), was now also trapped. -

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms Podcast. This Is Episode 40. When
Welcome to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Podcast. This is episode 40. When we left off last time, Yuan Shao was dead, and his three sons quickly took to squabbling with each other and getting smacked around by Cao Cao. When push came to shove and Cao Cao was on the brink of destroying them, however, the three brothers put their differences aside for just long enough to hold down the fort in Ji (4) Province and prevent Cao Cao from breaching the city. Cao Cao then decided that the best course of action was to give these guys a little breathing room and wait for them to turn on their most hated enemy -- each other. So Cao Cao marched his army off to invade Liu Biao’s Jing (1) Province instead. The sons of Yuan Shao did not turn on each other immediately. They first took a few minutes to congratulate each other on fending off Cao Cao. But after Yuan Xi (1), the middle brother, and Gao (1) Gan (4), their cousin, left for their respective home provinces, Yuan Tan (2), the eldest brother, and Yuan Shang (4), the youngest, began to plot against each other. Yuan Tan said to his advisers Guo Tu and Xin Ping, “I am the eldest son, but I did not get to inherit my father’s title. Yuan Shang was born to my stepmother, and yet he got the inheritance. I cannot let this go.” “My lord, you should move your troops to outside the city,” Guo Tu said. “Then invite Yuan Shang and his adviser Shen (3) Pei (4) to your camp for a feast, where you can ambush and kill them. -
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms Podcast. This Is Episode 80. Last
Welcome to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Podcast. This is episode 80. Last time, Liu Bei had lost Master Young Phoenix, Pang Tong, to an ambush. So he asked Zhuge Liang to come to the Riverlands to bail him out. Zhuge Liang left Guan Yu in charge of Jing Province and set off. He sent Zhang Fei along the main land route while he himself traveled by water with the general Zhao Yun. Zhang Fei had little trouble from the locals until he reached Ba (1) County, where a stubborn general named Yan Yan dared to stand in his way. So Zhang Fei sent a messenger to Yan Yan, and this messenger conveyed the following sentiments from Zhang Fei: “Old fool. If you hurry up and surrender, then I will spare your civilians. If you resist, then I will stomp your city flat and leave no one, not even the old and the young!” This messenger probably did not make it very far past “Old fool ” before Yan Yan blew his lid. … “How dare that bastard be so rude! I am not one to submit to traitors!” But Yan Yan did not shoot the messenger, since beheading was the preferred form of execution during this time. But seriously, Yan Yan actually allowed the messenger to keep his head. “I will use you to deliver my message back to Zhang Fei!” he said. But while the messenger got to keep his head, he was not able to keep everything ON his head. Yan Yan ordered his guards to cut off the guy’s ears and nose before letting him go. -
