A History of the Zhao Clan in China (趙族史略) -.:: GEOCITIES.Ws

A History of the Zhao Clan in China (趙族史略 ) More than 3,000 years ago in the Zhou Dynasty 周朝 , King Zhou Mu Wang 周穆王 honored Zuo Fu 造父 by appointing him Earl of the municipality of the Zhao Cheng 趙城 in Shanxi province 山西省 . Zuo Fu 造父adopted the city’s name as his surname, Zhao 趙. Thus he was the first Zhao and became the ancestral patriarch of the Zhao’s 趙 in China. In 597 B.C., during the Jin State (晉國) of the Warring States (戰時代 ), a high official of the court named Tu An Jia (屠岸賈) spread false rumors about Zhao Dun (趙盾). Based on these rumors, the King Jin Cheng Gong (晉成公 ) issued an imperial decree to execute all Zhao’s 趙. Subsequently, Zhao Dun (趙盾), his household and relatives were executed., His pregnant wife, Zhuang Ji (莊姬), however, was allowed to take refuge in the palace because she was the daughter of the King. Soon afterwards she gave birth to a son named Zhao Wu (趙武) . When Zhao Wu 趙武 was 15 years old, during the reign of Jin Dao Gong (晉悼公) , a general named Han Jue 韓厥 cleared Zhao Dun’s 趙盾record before the King. All members of the Zhao 趙 family were cleared of all charges and their citizenships reinstated. Tu An Jia (屠岸賈) was executed for spreading false rumors about Zhao Dun (趙盾) and his family. Zhao Wu (趙武) had served the king honorably and was appointed as the Duke of Han Dan ( 邯鄲 ) in Hebei province (河北省) . Posthumously, he was named Zhao Wen Zi (趙文子 ), probably because he was a scholar and a gentleman. (Translator’s note: In the ancient times, people of noble blood were given new names and titles posthumously, befitting their accomplishments or characters.) Therefore, Zhao Wu (趙武), also known as Zhao Wen Zi (趙文子), became the honored ancestral patriarch of all Zhao’s 趙 in China. At all clanship meetings, the San Francisco Zhao Family Association traditionally pays homage to his memory with burning of incense with three bows. Notes: 1. This story is derived from “A Brief History of the Zhaos” by Chew Ying Wing (趙英榮). 2. English phonetics of Chinese characters follows the phonetic systems of Pinyin (拼音 )..

On Shiji 22, Table Ten: a Year-By-Year Table of Generals, Chancellors, and Prominent Officials Since the Founding of the Han Dynasty*
《中國文化研究所學報》 Journal of Chinese Studies No. 59 - July 2014 On Shiji 22, Table Ten: A Year-by-Year Table of Generals, Chancellors, and Prominent Officials since the Founding of the Han Dynasty* Shu-hui Wu Mississippi State University 1 Among the ten tables in the Shiji 史記 Table Ten (“Han xing yilai jiang xiang mingchen nianbiao” 漢興以來將相名臣年表) is most complex to interpret. Scholars from the Han times throughout the imperial period either expressed doubts about its authenticity and authorship because of its unconventional presentation or simply avoided mentioning it. Their negative judgements and confusion over Table Ten may have stemmed from a two-fold challenge: the ambiguities of the Table itself, given that entries in the Table extend well beyond the lifetime of Sima Qian 司馬遷 (145–c. 99 B.C.) himself; and the suspicions and criticisms, justified or not, raised by detractors of the Shiji. Modern Chinese scholars have contributed analyses and discussions of Table Ten from various perspectives, but so far none of them have connected its physical layout and authorial purpose to its Han administrative back- ground. In Western scholarship to the present there has been little discussion and no translation of the Table itself. It is therefore important for us to investigate Table Ten from the perspectives of authorship, physicality, and the Han bureaucratic system in order to bridge the two-thousand-year chasm between its authors and readers. * I am very much indebted to the three anonymous reviewers for their valuable comments. 1 Sima Qian, Shiji (Hereafter SJ) (1959; reprint, Beijing: Zhonghua shuju, 2010).

The Orphan of Zhao
History, Literature, and the Construction of “Memory” in Asia a ChilD For all ages The Orphan of Zhao By Sherry J. Mou good literary work with specific cultural elements can easily touch the hearts of its culture’s native sons and daughters; a work with universal appeal will swiftly attract natives and non-natives. But local color alone can become tedious and provincial, and universal appeal by itself may make the work too general to capture the essence and spirit of a specific time, place, and event. Only when a work has both cultural specifics and a uni- Aversal dimension can it be called great literature and enjoy a culturally diverse audience, for it can seize the minds within and without a specific culture. The Chinese story—“The Orphan of Zhao”—possesses just such qualities and has endured lasting popularity both in China and in the West for centuries. Tracing the development of the story and presenting some versions of it can form a unit that introduces both basic Confucian ideas of traditional China and the movement of cul- tural artifacts between China and the West. Based on historical events nearly 3,000 years ago, the earliest ver- sion of this story is found in Spring and Autumn Annals (Chun qiu) a history allegedly by Confucius (551–479 BCE). The first important dra- matic form of this story was written in the late thirteenth century by Ji Junxiang (d. late 1200s), a Confucian scholar, when China was under Mongol rule. Over the next 450 years, Ji’s play begot many offspring in China and, in the 1730s, it became the first Chinese play introduced to Europe by the Jesuit scholar, Father Joseph Henri Prémare (1666–1736).

Treball de fi de màster Acadèmic The Orphan of Zhao, 赵氏孤儿, Adaptation of the Original Play of James Fenton Nom i Cognoms Jiayu Geng Màster： Estudis de Traducció Edició: 2019-2020 Director: Dr. Enric Gallén Miret Any de defensa: 2020 Collecció: Treballs de fi de màster Departament de Traducció i Ciències del Llenguatge Abstract The objective of this academic work is to analyse The Orphan of Zhao, James Fenton's proposal, based on the original work of the classical Chinese theatre, and also to compare the concepts of western and eastern tragedy, which can explain the changes and modifications made by this English playwright. To approach, in our opinion, an adaptation of the original work, notions such as translation, rewriting, version and adaptation are evaluated and the typology of Fenton's creation is analysed. This work also exposes the characteristics of this adaptation regarding the tragic ending, the additions of plot and action, the aesthetic alterations, the thematic changes, the ideology and the language. Finally, the study addresses the tragic model assumed by James Fenton in his adaptation. Keywords: The Orphan of Zhao, James Fenton, dramatic translation, adaptation, tragedy, classical Chinese theatre Resumen El objetivo del presente trabajo académico es analizar The Orphan of Zhao, la propuesta de James Fenton, basada en la obra original del teatro clásico chino, y comparar asimismo los conceptos de tragedia occidental y oriental que pueden explicar los cambios y las modificaciones realizadas por el dramaturgo inglés. Para abordar, según nuestra opinión, una adaptación de la obra original, se valoran nociones como translation, rewriting version y adaptation y se analiza la tipología de la creación de Fenton.

Remaking History: the Shu and Wu Perspectives in the Three Kingdoms Period
Remaking History: The Shu and Wu Perspectives in the Three Kingdoms Period XIAOFEI TIAN HARVARD UNIVERSITY Of the three powers—Wei, Shu, and Wu—that divided China for the better part of the third century, Wei has received the most attention in the standard literary historical accounts. In a typical book of Chinese literary history in any language, little, if anything, is said about Wu and Shu. This article argues that the consider- ation of the literary production of Shu and Wu is crucial to a fuller picture of the cultural dynamics of the Three Kingdoms period. The three states competed with one another for the claim to political legitimacy and cultural supremacy, and Wu in particular was in a position to contend with Wei in its cultural undertakings, notably in the areas of history writing and ritual music. This article begins with an overview of Shu and Wu literary production, and moves on to a more detailed discussion of Wu’s cultural projects, both of which were intended to assert Wu’s legitimacy and cultural power vis-à-vis Wei and Shu’s claims to cultural and polit- ical orthodoxy. Ultimately, this article implicitly asks the question of how to write literary history when there is scant material from the period under question, and suggests that we perform textual excavations and make use of what we have to try and reconstruct, as best as we can, what once was. A good literary history of the Chinese medieval period, the age of manuscript culture and that of heavy textual losses and transfigurations, should be written with the awareness of the incomplete and imperfect nature of the data we do have, and incorporate the phenomenon of textual losses and transfigurations as well as some reflections on the underlying reasons into its narrative and critical inquiry.
