    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

  • Spring 2018 Honors Colloquia
    Spring 2018 Honors Colloquia AIST 4003H 001: EARLY CHINESE EMPIRES Professor: Rembrandt F. Wolpert Colloquium Type: Humanities Taking the Silk Road as our main artery, we shall concentrate on the most colorful changes in multi-ethnic, multi-cultural medieval China from the period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and in particular from the rise and following unification of Northern China. Under the Northern Wei (386–534), to the subsequent unification of North and South under the Sui (589–618), through the resplendent Tang (618–907) and the most cultured of all Chinese dynasties, the Song (960–1279), the martial Jin (115–1234), to end with the culmination of power (at a price) in the largest empire emanating from Chinese soil, the Yuan (1271–1368). AIST 4003H 002: READING JAPANESE NOH AS CULTURAL HISTORY Professor: Elizabeth Markham Colloquium Type: Humanities We shall use original Noh chant books (utai-bon) alongside translations of librettos. Most plays will be viewed on film; the others listened to while reading. Our focus will be on the historical and the contextual: we shall work with the earlier poetry, songs, and dance-tunes, referred to as nostalgia in the plays, and also with early Buddhist, theatrical, and secular musical forms that have contributed to and borrowed from Noh. The course does not require specialized knowledge of music, nor of East Asian languages, and it is open to majors in any field. Students address their particular interests via individual projects, culminating in an extended research essay. AIST 4003H 003: UNCOVERING HEIAN JAPAN (794--1192) Professor: Elizabeth J.

The major types can be roughly defined as: East Asian with its origins in Imperial China and now encompassing modern Japan and the Korean peninsula; Southeast Asian which encompasses Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines; South Asian states that are made up of India, Burma, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan as well as several other countries in this region of the Vietnamese meal, in Asian culture food often serves as the centerpiece of social continent; Central Asian and Middle gatherings Eastern. Terminology "Asian cuisine" most often refers to East Asian cuisine (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean), Southeast Asian cuisine and South Asian cuisine. In much of Asia, the term does not include the area's native cuisines. For example, in Hong Kong and mainland China, Asian cuisine is a general umbrella term for Japanese cuisine, Korean cuisine, Filipino cuisine, Thai cuisine, Vietnamese cuisine, Malaysian and Singaporean cuisine, and Indonesian cuisine; but Chinese cuisine and Indian cuisine are excluded. The term Asian cuisine might also be used to Indonesian cuisine address the eating establishments that offer a wide array of Asian dishes without rigid cuisine boundaries; such as selling satay, gyoza or lumpia for an appetizer, som tam, rojak or gado-gado for salad, offering chicken teriyaki, nasi goreng or beef rendang as the main course, tom yam and laksa as soup, and cendol or ogura ice for dessert.

  • Study on English Translation of Tibetan Meal Names in Kangding Area from the Perspective of Cultural Translation
    2018 International Workshop on Advances in Social Sciences (IWASS 2018) Study on English Translation of Tibetan Meal Names in Kangding Area from the Perspective of Cultural Translation Jing Feng School of Foreign Language, Sichuan Minzu College, Kangding Sichuan 626001, China Keywords: Cultural Translation; Tibetan Food; Dish Name; Cultural Connotation Abstract: Language is the carrier of culture. Any human knowledge that wants to be preserved for a long time must rely on language, and culture is the connotation of language. Culture uses language as the carrier and is the main expression. The name of the dish expresses rich food culture connotation in a concise language form. As a manifestation of food culture, language witnesses and records the development and evolution of food culture. Translation is the most important way to exchange language and culture. Tibetan food in Kangding area is praised for its unique raw materials, ingredients and cooking methods. The name of the Tibetan food in the area contains a rich Tibetan food culture. Therefore, the Chinese-English translation of the name of the Kangba Tibetan cuisine needs to refer to the published Chinese translation of the Chinese cuisine, and it should also be fully integrated with the Tibetan food diet. Introduction Diet is the most basic requirement for human existence and a prerequisite for all human civilization. There is an old saying in China that "people take food for the sky." "Heaven", the supreme title, that is to say, diet is the top priority in people's lives. This is also the essence of Chinese traditional philosophy and culture.

  • Barley Cultivation & Cultural Representations
    The Tibetans in the Making Barley Cultivation & Cultural Representations Yannick LAURENT (Oxford) Introduction1 he Tibet-Qinghai plateau is one of the highest environments on the planet. It comprises an area of approximately 2.5 mil- T lion square kilometres with an average elevation exceeding 4000 metres above sea level (masl). The Tibetan plateau permits only a narrow range of productive activities. It is estimated that about 1% of the plateau is able to sustain farming practices.2 Today, fields of barley are grown everywhere from the alpine steppes of western Ti- bet to the hilly grasslands and forested provinces of Amdo and Kham in the east, from the large and temperate alluvial plains of the Tibetan heartland to the terrace fields of highland Nepal. In these harsh cli- matic and topographical conditions, where resources are distributed asymmetrically, human adaptation was rendered possible by a skilful exploitation of pastoralism and agriculture. As a result, farmers and nomads have always constituted the backbone of Tibetan civilization. Highland barley is a six-rowed naked (i.e., hulless) barley with a spring phenotype. It is particularly suited for harsh environments with extremely high altitudes. It is sown in the spring around the month of April. After a short period of dormancy and germination the crop is generally harvested in August-September. A six-rowed naked barley with a winter habit is also cultivated in lower regions subject to mild winter conditions. It is frost resistant and benefits from a longer period of dormancy. It is usually sown in autumn and ripens in late spring.

It is a quiet and peaceful kingdom because everybody there knows the source of happiness.” Mr Pema Dorjee Founder & Chairman of Songstam From the centre of the Three Parallel Rivers to the very highest mountain peaks, the Songtsam Yunnan to Tibet route is designed for intrepid travellers to discover the region’s living heritage through comfort, authenticity, and an enlightened spirit of adventure. Extended across dramatic altitudes within the Tibetan plateau, the area is home to a number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites and the demographic contains Tibetans and most of the twenty-five ethnic monitories found in Yunnan province, many of who still follow ancient traditions and customs. For centuries people have been fascinated with the idea of Shambhala, a mythical kingdom and Buddhist pure land. It is rumoured to have inspired British author James Hilton who published the 1933 novel Lost Horizon in which Shambhala is called Shangri-La, a paradise on Earth hidden in a Tibetan valley.
