  • 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.

  • Chapter Three
    526 Chapter Three 經學昌明時代 The Period of Advancement of Classical Scholarship [3/1 SVA Introductory Comments: In the opening section of Chapter Three, Pi Xirui quotes extensively from the "Rulin zhuan" chapter of the Shi ji so as to support his position that during the reign of Emperor Wu (141-87 B.C.), Classical Scholarship was in its purest and most orthodox form. He also uses the lack of information in the "Rulin zhuan" regarding the Old Script Documents, Zhouli, Mao Shi, and Zuozhuan to argue that Sima Qian did not have access to these texts, which are texts of the "Old Script" school.] 3/11 The "Rulin zhuan" chapter of the Shi ji states, "When the present emperor2 ascended the throne, there were men such as Zhao Wan 趙綰 and Wang Zang 王臧3 who clearly understood Confucian learning and the 1[SVA: Section 3/1 corresponds to pp.69-72 of the Zhonghua ed. and to pp.60-64 of the Yiwen ed.] 2(3/1, n.1) Zhou Yutong comments: In the Chinese jinshang 今上, "the present emperor," refers to Emperor Wu of the Han. 3(3/1, n.2) Zhou Yutong comments: Zhao Wan 趙綰 was a native of Dai 代 and Wang Zang 王臧 was a native of Lanling 蘭陵.

  • 'Confucian' Values and Practices in Han China
    ‘Confucian’ values and practices in Han China The general assumption that China of the Han empire (202 BCE-9 CE) and (25-221 CE) was characterised as ‘Confucian’ requires review. While certain elements of the beliefs, practices and ideals of the later dynasties owe their origins to Han times or earlier, it is difficult to show that they lay behind or affected the conduct of public life of Han with the same degree of force as may be witnessed in Song, Ming or Qing times. It may well be shown that from Tang times onwards a cohesive and systematized way of thought and practice was determining the decision of a government, the subjects of scholarly activities and the rule of a family, possibly in an obligatory manner; but it is difficult to sustain an assumption that such conditions pertained in Han China. Misunderstandings have arisen partly through anachronism, translation of the term ru 儒 and the view that has been taken of modes of thought of Han times. Consideration of six characteristics of what may be accepted as the ‘Confucianism’ of the later dynasties, with the question of how far they were operative in Han times, leads to the conclusion that major differences may be traced first between the foundation of the dynasty and ca. 50 BCE; and secondly between Western and Eastern Han. (a) Citation of the sayings of Kongzi (Confucius) are rare until ca. 50 BCE, with the exception of those in the three responses of Dong Zhongshu 董仲舒 (probably 134 BCE). References, allusions and quotations from the Lunyu (Analects) increase in frequency from the time of Wang Mang 王莽.

  • Imagining Wu in the Han Aaron Zhao a Thesis Submitted in Partial
    Imagining Wu in the Han Aaron Zhao A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Washington 2020 Committee: Patricia Ebrey Ping Wang Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Jackson School of International Studies ©Copyright 2020 Aaron Zhao 1 University of Washington Abstract Imagining Wu in the Han Aaron Zhao Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Patricia Ebrey Department of History This master’s thesis attempts to analyze the perception and understanding of the concept of wu 武 in the Han dynasty by exploring the relevant literary sources. It is divided into four subsections. In the “Institutional Promotions of Wu,” I explain how the Qin-Han legacy of military organization of the society makes wu a superior and desirable value. The order of honor by military merits, superiority of military offices in the governmental systems and even naming of certain offices using military terms reflect such promotion of the wu value. In the “Military Aristocratic Lineages” section, I demonstrate by tracing information scattered throughout various biographical records in the dynastic histories that some aristocratic lineages advanced or maintained their status mainly through military services. The “Martial Individualism” section explores the relationship between the individual and the state via their negotiation and struggle of power in using violence. This section is inspired and influenced by Sanctioned Violence in Early China. But one of the differences is that I note the possibility of a non-violent manifestation of wu. Lastly, the “Wu of Women” section analyzes two examples of women who display qualities of wu in the dynastic histories and 2 their significance.

  • Confucius and Lao Zi: Their Differing Social Foundations and Cultures
    SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS Number 211 May, 2011 Confucius and Lao Zi: Their Differing Social Foundations and Cultures by ZHOU Jixu Victor H. Mair, Editor Sino-Platonic Papers Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6305 USA [email protected] www.sino-platonic.org SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS FOUNDED 1986 Editor-in-Chief VICTOR H. MAIR Associate Editors PAULA ROBERTS MARK SWOFFORD ISSN 2157-9679 (print) 2157-9687 (online) SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series dedicated to making available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished. The editor-in-chief actively encourages younger, not yet well established, scholars and independent authors to submit manuscripts for consideration. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including romanized modern standard Mandarin (MSM) and Japanese, are acceptable. In special circumstances, papers written in one of the Sinitic topolects (fangyan) may be considered for publication. Although the chief focus of Sino-Platonic Papers is on the intercultural relations of China with other peoples, challenging and creative studies on a wide variety of philological subjects will be entertained. This series is not the place for safe, sober, and stodgy presentations. Sino- Platonic Papers prefers lively work that, while taking reasonable risks to advance the field, capitalizes on brilliant new insights into the development of civilization. Submissions are regularly sent out to be refereed, and extensive editorial suggestions for revision may be offered. Sino-Platonic Papers emphasizes substance over form. We do, however, strongly recommend that prospective authors consult our style guidelines at www.sino-platonic.org/stylesheet.doc.

In Pursuit of the Great Peace: Han Dynasty Classicism and the Making of Early Medieval Literati Culture Abstract This dissertation is focused on communities of people in the Han dynasty (205 B.C.-A.D. 220) who possessed the knowledge of a corpus of texts: the Five Classics. Previously scholars have understood the popularity of this corpus in the Han society as a result of stiff ideology and imperial propaganda. However, this approach fails to explain why the imperial government considered them effective to convey propaganda in the first place. It does not capture the diverse range of ideas in classicism. This dissertation concentrates on Han classicists and treats them as scholars who constantly competed for attention in intellectual communities and solved problems with innovative solutions that were plausible to their contemporaries. This approach explains the nature of the apocryphal texts, which scholars have previously referred to as shallow and pseudo-scientific.

  • Bibliographic History of the Su Wen
    Unschuld,Huang Di nei jing 12/2/02 1:34 PM Page 1 I Bibliographic History of the Su wen 1. SOME SCHOLARLY VIEWS ON THE ORIGIN OF THE SU WEN The Huang Di nei jing su wen ¿“∫g¿› and the Huang Di nei jing ling shu ¿“∫gFœ form a textual corpus generally known as the Huang Di nei jing.1 Popular accounts of the history of Chinese medicine tend to locate the origin of this text in a distant past, several millennia b.c. Voices refuting au- thorship by the legendary Huang Di in prehistoric times have been heard in China for centuries, and to this day there is a discrepancy between views held by historians of Chinese medicine in and outside China, on the one hand, and by authors writing for the general public, on the other. Zu Xi ∂Q (1130–1200) and Cheng Hao {V (1032–1085), the two em- inent philosophers of the Song era, identified the Su wen as a product of the Warring States period, the fifth through third centuries b.c.2 The latter’s contemporary, Sima Guang q®˙ (1019–1086), author of the important historical work Zi zhi tong jian Ívq≥, stated: “If someone were to say that the Su wen were indeed a work written by Huang Di, this, I presume, would be inaccurate. His name was adopted by medical people during the Zhou and Han eras to lend [his] weight [to their field].”3 Lü Fu f_, the fourteenth-century Yuan-era literary critic, noted, first, that the Su wen was compiled by several authors over a long period, and, sec- ond, that its contents were brought together, like those of the Li ji ßO, the “Book of Rites,” by Han-era Confucian scholars who then transmitted the text together with the teachings of Confucius.4 During the Ming dynasty, the famous literatus Hu Yinglin J≥Ô (1551– 1602) concluded: “The Su wen is also called Nei jing today.
