By Chance of History : the Apocrypha Under The RUHR-UNIVERSITÄT BOCHUM Fakultät für Ostasienwissenschaften By Chance of History: The Apocrypha under the Han Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Dr. phil. vorgelegt von Licia Di Giacinto, M.A. aus Mannheim Referent/in: Prof. Dr. Heiner Roetz Korreferent/in: Prof. Dr. Hans van Ess Bochum 2007 AKNOWLEDGMENTS Many people have contributed to this work in one way or another. My special thanks go to my “Doktorvater” Professor Heiner Roetz for his unlimited patience and support and for his insightful amendments and suggestions. I would also like to thank Professor Hans van Ess for his willingness to act as supervisor, Professor Raoul Findeisen for his encouragements, and Mrs Karen Finney for her accurate correction of parts of the English manuscript. I must also recall here the paradisiacal quietness at the department of Chinese History and Philosophy, where I have found the support of Dr. Wolfgang Behr and the helpfulness of Mrs Ilse Dilger. I have no idea what I would have done without friends like Andrea, Tania, and Zeljka, who have patiently endured my moods as well as my daily and nightly monologues about the Han apocrypha. My final thanks go to my father: it is probably because of him that this work has finally reached an end. CONTENTS APPROACHING THE APOCRYPHA CHAPTER ONE.

    Cultural and Religious Studies, July 2020, Vol. 8, No. 7, 386-402 doi: 10.17265/2328-2177/2020.07.002 D DAVID PUBLISHING Rebuilding the Ancestral Temple and Hosting Daluo Heaven and Earth Prayer and Enlightenment Ceremony Wu Hui-Chiao Ming Chuan University, Taiwan Kuo, Yeh-Tzu founded Taiwan’s Sung Shan Tsu Huei Temple in 1970. She organized more than 200 worshipers as a group named “Taiwan Tsu Huei Temple Queen Mother of the West Delegation to China to Worship at the Ancestral Temples” in 1990. At that time, the temple building of the Queen Mother Palace in Huishan of Gansu Province was in disrepair, and Temple Master Kuo, Yeh-Tzu made a vow to rebuild it. Rebuilding the ancestral temple began in 1992 and was completed in 1994. It was the first case of a Taiwan temple financing the rebuilding of a far-away Queen Mother Palace with its own donations. In addition, Sung Shan Tsu Huei Temple celebrated its 45th anniversary and hosted Yiwei Yuanheng Lizhen Daluo Tiandi Qingjiao (Momentous and Fortuitous Heaven and Earth Prayer Ceremony) in 2015. This is the most important and the grandest blessing ceremony of Taoism, a rare event for Taoism locally and abroad during this century. Those sacred rituals were replete with unprecedented grand wishes to propagate the belief in Queen Mother of the West. Stopping at nothing, Queen Mother’s love never ceases. Keywords: Sung Shan Tsu Huei Temple, Temple Master Kuo, Yeh-Tzu, Golden Mother of the Jade Pond, Daluo Tiandi Qingjiao (Daluo Heaven and Earth Prayer Ceremony) Introduction The main god, Golden Mother of the Jade Pond (Golden Mother), enshrined in Sung Shan Tsu Huei Temple, is the same as the Queen Mother of the West, the highest goddess of Taoism.

  • Princeton/Stanford Working Papers in Classics
    Princeton/Stanford Working Papers in Classics Coin quality, coin quantity, and coin value in early China and the Roman world Version 2.0 September 2010 Walter Scheidel Stanford University Abstract: In ancient China, early bronze ‘tool money’ came to be replaced by round bronze coins that were supplemented by uncoined gold and silver bullion, whereas in the Greco-Roman world, precious-metal coins dominated from the beginnings of coinage. Chinese currency is often interpreted in ‘nominalist’ terms, and although a ‘metallist’ perspective used be common among students of Greco-Roman coinage, putatively fiduciary elements of the Roman currency system are now receiving growing attention. I argue that both the intrinsic properties of coins and the volume of the money supply were the principal determinants of coin value and that fiduciary aspects must not be overrated. These principles apply regardless of whether precious-metal or base-metal currencies were dominant. © Walter Scheidel. [email protected] How was the valuation of ancient coins related to their quality and quantity? How did ancient economies respond to coin debasement and to sharp increases in the money supply relative to the number of goods and transactions? I argue that the same answer – that the result was a devaluation of the coinage in real terms, most commonly leading to price increases – applies to two ostensibly quite different monetary systems, those of early China and the Roman Empire. Coinage in Western and Eastern Eurasia In which ways did these systems differ? 1 In Western Eurasia coinage arose in the form of oblong and later round coins in the Greco-Lydian Aegean, made of electron and then mostly silver, perhaps as early as the late seventh century BCE.

  • Yin-Yang, the Five Phases (Wu-Xing), and the Yijing 陰陽 / 五行 / 易經
    Yin-yang, the Five Phases (wu-xing), and the Yijing 陰陽 / 五行 / 易經 In the Yijing, yang is represented by a solid line ( ) and yin by a broken line ( ); these are called the "Two Modes" (liang yi 兩義). The figure above depicts the yin-yang cycle mapped as a day. This can be divided into four stages, each corresponding to one of the "Four Images" (si xiang 四象) of the Yijing: 1. young yang (in this case midnight to 6 a.m.): unchanging yang 2. mature yang (6 a.m. to noon): changing yang 3. young yin (noon to 6 p.m.): unchanging yin 4. mature yin (6 p.m. to midnight): changing yin These four stages of changes in turn correspond to four of the Five Phases (wu xing), with the fifth one (earth) corresponding to the perfect balance of yin and yang: | yang | yin | | fire | water | Mature| |earth | | | wood | metal | Young | | | Combining the above two patterns yields the "generating cycle" (below left) of the Five Phases: Combining yin and yang in three-line diagrams yields the "Eight Trigrams" (ba gua 八卦) of the Yijing: Qian Dui Li Zhen Sun Kan Gen Kun (Heaven) (Lake) (Fire) (Thunder) (Wind) (Water) (Mountain) (Earth) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 The Eight Trigrams can also be mapped against the yin-yang cycle, represented below as the famous Taiji (Supreme Polarity) Diagram (taijitu 太極圖): This also reflects a binary numbering system. If the solid (yang) line is assigned the value of 0 and the broken (yin) line is 1, the Eight Trigram can be arranged to represent the numbers 0 through 7.

  • The Old Master
    INTRODUCTION Four main characteristics distinguish this book from other translations of Laozi. First, the base of my translation is the oldest existing edition of Laozi. It was excavated in 1973 from a tomb located in Mawangdui, the city of Changsha, Hunan Province of China, and is usually referred to as Text A of the Mawangdui Laozi because it is the older of the two texts of Laozi unearthed from it.1 Two facts prove that the text was written before 202 bce, when the first emperor of the Han dynasty began to rule over the entire China: it does not follow the naming taboo of the Han dynasty;2 its handwriting style is close to the seal script that was prevalent in the Qin dynasty (221–206 bce). Second, I have incorporated the recent archaeological discovery of Laozi-related documents, disentombed in 1993 in Jishan District’s tomb complex in the village of Guodian, near the city of Jingmen, Hubei Province of China. These documents include three bundles of bamboo slips written in the Chu script and contain passages related to the extant Laozi.3 Third, I have made extensive use of old commentaries on Laozi to provide the most comprehensive interpretations possible of each passage. Finally, I have examined myriad Chinese classic texts that are closely associated with the formation of Laozi, such as Zhuangzi, Lüshi Chunqiu (Spring and Autumn Annals of Mr. Lü), Han Feizi, and Huainanzi, to understand the intellectual and historical context of Laozi’s ideas. In addition to these characteristics, this book introduces several new interpretations of Laozi.

  • Dinero Chino En El Museo Oriental De Valladolid
    Dinero chino en el Museo Oriental de Valladolid Por Blas Sierra de la Calle, OSA El Museo Oriental, del Real Colegio de los Padres Agustinos, en Valla­ dolid, es la mejor colección de arte del Extremo Oriente actualmente exis­ tente en España. Es un "Punto de encuentro" privilegiado entre Oriente y Occidente. Consta de catorce salas magníficamente instaladas. Comienza con una introducción histórica, a la que siguen nueve salas dedicadas a China y cua­ tro a Filipinas. De los varios miles de monedas chinas de sus fondos, están expuestas en la sala N° 6 más de un millar. La cronología de las mismas abarca desde la época de los Reinos Combatientes (475-221 a. C.) hasta 1912. I. HISTORIA DE LA COLECCIÓN Esta importante colección tiene su origen en la presencia de los misione­ ros agustinos en China, donde llegó el agustino navarro, Fr. Martín de Rada en 1575. Tras el trabajo apostólico en Kuan-Tung y Kuang-Si en los ss. XVII y XVIII, en 1879 se abrieron nuevas misiones en Hunan (Ilustración n° 1). 1.- La formación de la colección Distintos misioneros anónimos fueron coleccionando, ya desde finales del s. XIX, algunos ejemplares raros de monedas chinas, que enviaron a Valladolid. De hecho, a principios de siglo, ya hay constancia de la existencia de algunas monedas antiguas. Pero la mayor parte de la colección se debe al P. Pedro Pelaz. 368 B. SIERRA DE LA CALLE 2 Este ilustre misionero en China, había nacido el 17 de febrero de 1878, en Villanueva de la Peña, provincia de Palencia.
