  • Origin Narratives: Reading and Reverence in Late-Ming China
    Origin Narratives: Reading and Reverence in Late-Ming China Noga Ganany Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Noga Ganany All rights reserved ABSTRACT Origin Narratives: Reading and Reverence in Late Ming China Noga Ganany In this dissertation, I examine a genre of commercially-published, illustrated hagiographical books. Recounting the life stories of some of China’s most beloved cultural icons, from Confucius to Guanyin, I term these hagiographical books “origin narratives” (chushen zhuan 出身傳). Weaving a plethora of legends and ritual traditions into the new “vernacular” xiaoshuo format, origin narratives offered comprehensive portrayals of gods, sages, and immortals in narrative form, and were marketed to a general, lay readership. Their narratives were often accompanied by additional materials (or “paratexts”), such as worship manuals, advertisements for temples, and messages from the gods themselves, that reveal the intimate connection of these books to contemporaneous cultic reverence of their protagonists. The content and composition of origin narratives reflect the extensive range of possibilities of late-Ming xiaoshuo narrative writing, challenging our understanding of reading. I argue that origin narratives functioned as entertaining and informative encyclopedic sourcebooks that consolidated all knowledge about their protagonists, from their hagiographies to their ritual traditions. Origin narratives also alert us to the hagiographical substrate in late-imperial literature and religious practice, wherein widely-revered figures played multiple roles in the culture. The reverence of these cultural icons was constructed through the relationship between what I call the Three Ps: their personas (and life stories), the practices surrounding their lore, and the places associated with them (or “sacred geographies”).

  • Appendix 2 Chinese Deities and Spirits
    Appendix 2 Chinese deities and spirits This appendix includes a selection of the most common and important gods, goddesses, Buddhas, bodhisattvas, ancestors, and spirits that one can find in reli- gious sites across China. For each major religion, I present the most important deities of the pantheon as people would encounter them in a temple or other sacred space. Of course, there are many other deities presented in temples across China; yet, these are some of the most common of the range of deities – which ultimately cover all aspects of people’s physical and spiritual lives. Animistic ideas (referring to the idea of having or expecting mutually recip- rocal relationships of respect, gift-exchange, and communication; see Harvey 2013) in China stem at least as far back as the proto-Daoist text, the Zhua¯ngzi 庄子, from around 300 BCE, the first seven, inner chapters of which scholars think were written by Zhua¯ ng Zho¯u 庄周 (c. 369 BCE – c. 286 BCE). This text explains ideas about carefree living, naturalness, and relativity of perceptions, and Zhua¯ ngzi seems to attempt to get people to recognize that they live in a multi- species symbiotic community in which each aspect is in relationship and that each deserves respect. The Zhua¯ ngzi continues to be a widely-read and influential book among contemporary Chinese readers. Other popular literary texts include religiously-informed animistic ideas as well. Journey to the West (Xı¯yóujì 西游记), The Investiture of the Gods (Fe¯ngshén Yaˇnyì 封神演义), Dream of the Red Chamber (Hónglóu mèng 红楼梦), and the Water Margin (Shuıˇ huˇ zhuàn 水浒传; aka., Outlaws of the Marsh), all contain examples of some natural phenomenon such as a rock, animal, or flower, which has absorbed the essence of the cosmos for so long that it becomes a spirit being and chooses to incarnate in the human world to experience life in a human form.

  • The Eight Immortals
    The Eight Immortals Gallery Objects: The ivory chess set and the carved elephant tusks. The eight immortals are legendary beings who lived at various times and attained immortality through their studies of nature’s secrets. They can be male or female, young or old, shown together or separately. Any man or woman appearing in a landscape with pine trees, cranes, deer and the fungus of immortality may be considered an immortal. The most important, Zhongli Chuan is generally shown as a fat man with a bare belly, always holding a fan with which he is believed to revive the souls of the dead. According to many stories, he married a young and beautiful wife and retired to his native place to life the life of a philosopher. One day he was walking in meditation and came upon a young woman in deep mourning, sitting near a fresh grave and fanning the upturned soil. When asked why she was fanning the ground, she said that her late husband had begged her not to remarry until the soil on his grave was dry. She had found someone she wanted to marry and wanted the grave to dry quickly. Zhongli offered her his help. Taking her fan, he invoked spirits to his aid, struck the fan to the tomb and the soil instantly dried. The widow thanked him gaily, and walked away without her fan. When Zhongli’’s young wife saw the fan, she demanded to know all about it. When she heard the story she became very indignant, saying she would never behave like that.

  • God Is Transgender
    GOD IS TRANSGENDER In what was an intellectual high for the New York Times, the Gray Lady printed an op- ed article titled “Is God Transgender?” by a New York rabbi named Mark Sameth. Related to a man who “transitioned to a woman” in the 1970s, Sameth contends that “the Hebrew Bible, when read in its original language, offers a highly flexible view of gender.” He puts forward many historical examples of gender fluidity in the Hebrew scriptures, in order to maintain that religion should not be put in service of “social prejudices” against transgendering. His treatment of the Bible amounts to excellent scholarship. Proposing that the God of Israel was worshipped originally as “a dual-gendered deity,” the rabbi asserts, that the etymological derivation of Yahweh is “He/She” (HUHI). His argument requires that the Tetragrammaton be read, not from right to left (as Hebrew always is), but from left to right: The four-Hebrew-letter name of God, which scholars refer to as the Tetragrammaton, YHWH, was probably not pronounced “Jehovah” or “Yahweh,” as some have guessed. The Israelite priests would have read the letters in reverse as Hu/Hi—in other words, the hidden name of God was Hebrew for “He/She.” Some biblical scholars say that “Yahweh” is derived from the third-person singular of the verb “to be” (hayah), whether a qal imperfect (“he is” or “he will be”) or the causative hiphil imperfect (“he causes to come into being, he creates”). This view is confirmed by numerous lines of evidence: the interpretation given in Exod 3:14 (“Say to the sons of Israel, ‘ehyeh [‘I am’ or ‘I will be’ (who I am/will be)] sent me to you”); the use of shortened forms of Yahweh at the end (“Yah” or “Yahu”) or beginning (“Yeho” or “Yo”) of Hebrew names; the spelling “Yabe” known to the Samaritans; and transliterations “Yao,” “Ya-ou-e,” and “Ya-ou-ai” in some Greek texts.

  • Translating Otherness: Images of a Chinese City Audrey Heijns*
    Journal of World Languages, 2016 Vol. 3, No. 1, 67–78, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/21698252.2016.1224139 Translating otherness: images of a Chinese city Audrey Heijns* Faculty of Humanities, Institute for Area Studies, University of Leiden, Leiden, Netherlands (Received 5 October 2015; Accepted 10 August 2016) This article investigates the way Western configurations of Eastern identities are formed. It focusses on how Western encounters in the East are represented in the West and what role translation plays in this process. It probes the representation of those cultural practices and encounters that are particularly prominent in the literary genre of travel writing. Here, three Dutch accounts of travels to Guangzhou (China) from the late nineteenth century will be compared, and their methods of translation will be analyzed. The examples show that a different style of translation can result in a different image of the city and that the travel accounts under investigation possess varying degrees of Orientalizing and appropriative style, even though the three writers follow more or less the same itinerary. It appears that they are not merely providing a representation of the Other, but, in fact, are merging the Other with the Self. Ultimately, the degree of merging the Other with the Self depends on the style of translation and each of these styles is defining for the configuration of identity, which, from a Western view, makes the East appear inferior, superior or universally equal. Keywords:: East and West; cultural translation; travel writing 1. Introduction This study probes the way that Western configurations of Eastern identities are formed by looking at the representation of foreign cultural practices and encounters.

  • The Eight Immortals
    Ta l e s o f A d v e n t u r e s Dear Collectors, Let me offer you a journey among the wonderful world of Chinese tales which are very . popular among Chinese snuff bottles I especially want to thank you Gayle Laverlochere for letting me use her researches. Laurence Souksi ,, , The story of Zhong Kui In Chinese folklores, Zhong Kui is a god who exorcises ghosts and evil spirits. As legend has it, he lived in Zhongnan Mountain in the early Tang Dynasty. He was born with a panther-like head, ring-like eyes, an iron face and curly whiskers. Tough very ugly, he was a profoundly learned and talented fgure. As a man of integrity, he always upheld justice and feared no evil or mischievous being. In 712 when Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty ascended the throne, Zhong Kui went to Chang'an to take the imperial civil examination. Impressed by Zhong's fve poems entitled Holding Banquets in Yingzhou, the chief examiner praised him as a prodigy and enrolled him top of all examinees. During the palace examination, however, a treacherous minister named Lu Qi judged Zhong Kui by the appearance, and repeatedly spoke ill of him before the emperor. As a result, Zhong Kui failed to claim championship in the exam. Infuriated, he bumped his head against a pillar in the palace and thus killed himself. Te entire court was shocked. Ten Emperor Dezong issued an imperial edict, conferring upon Zhong Kui the title of Demon Queller who traveled all over the world to kill the evil and expel the wicked.
