  • Tableaux Chronologiques Introduction
    TABLEAUX CHRONOLOGIQUES INTRODUCTION TABLEAUX CHRONOLOGIQUES 年代表 INTRODUCTION Le premier tableau donne une vue d’ensemble de la chronologie de l’histoire de Chine depuis les temps les plus anciens. Le second présente, dynastie par dynastie, les noms des souverains, leurs dates et leurs 年號 nianhao. La chronologie chinoise présente des particularités qu’il importe de signaler. CHRONOLOGIE LONGUE ET CHRONOLOGIE COURTE Il existe, depuis les temps anciens, deux chronologies pour l’histoire de la haute antiquité chinoise. L’une est dite « chronologie longue » car elle attribue aux événements des dates plus anciennes. La seconde est dite « chronologie courte ». Ainsi, pour l’empereur 堯 Yao, la première donne la date de 2357 et la seconde 2145. 1 TABLEAUX CHRONOLOGIQUES INTRODUCTION La première est celle que suit le 通鑑綱目 Tong Jian Gang Mu, Abrégé du miroir universel, composé par 朱喜 Zhu Xi. La seconde est basée sur le 竹書紀年 Zhu Shu Ji Nian, Annales sur bambou. Toutes ces dates sont très hypothétiques et les personnages mentionnés sont d’autant plus proches de la légende que l’on s’éloigne dans le temps. Mais il existe une tradition que l’on ne peut ignorer. La date de la victoire des Zhou sur les Shang a donné lieu à de nombreuses controverses. La chronologie dite longue, basée sur le 三統曆 San Tong Li, donne la date de 1122 A.C. La chronologie dite courte, basée sur le 竹書紀年 Zhu Shu Ji Nian, donne celle de 1050. Diverses autres dates ont été proposées. La grande majorité des historiens, se basant en partie sur des recherches astronomiques, adopte 1050 A.C.

  • An Alternative Chronology for the Xia Dynasty and Discussion on Issues Related to Xia Culture
    Journal of chinese humanities 5 (2019) 55-77 brill.com/joch An Alternative Chronology for the Xia Dynasty and Discussion on Issues Related to Xia Culture Jia Hongbo 賈洪波 Professor of History, Nankai University, China [email protected] Translated by Carl Gene Fordham Abstract This paper proposes an alternative chronology for the Xia dynasty [ca. 2100-1600 BCE] based on the respective year counts and generation numbers of the Xia, Shang [ca. 1600-1046 BCE], and Zhou [1046-256 BCE] dynasties. It argues that Qi 啟 founded the Xia dynasty midway through the twentieth century BCE and further discusses ques- tions relating to the capital cities and culture of the Xia. By integrating archeological material, it further contends that the ancient city of Wangchenggang 王城崗 located in Dengfeng 登封 was Yangcheng 陽城, the capital established by Yu 禹. It also argues that the Wadian 瓦店 site in Yuzhou 禹州 may have been inhabited by Yu and Qi, that the ancient city of Xinzhai 新砦 was an early capital of the Xia dynasty from the reigns of Qi to Shao Kang 少康, and that the Erlitou 二里頭 site was the capital of the Xia dynasty during its middle and late periods after the reign of Di Huai 帝槐. Xia culture should be approached as a concept that blends the disciplines of archeology and his- tory and defined as the Xia people and the Xia dynasty within its region of governance or a culture whose creators mostly consisted of the Xia people. Furthermore, the ruins of the Xinzhai period represent Xia culture during its formative period, while Erlitou culture represents Xia culture during its maturity.

  • Dewa – Dewi Kelenteng Disusun Oleh
    DEWA - DEWI KELENTENG DISUSUN OLEH : Ir. E. SETIAWAN KWA THONG HAY YAYASAN KELENTENG SAMPOOKONG GEDUNG BATU - SEMARANG 1990 Ucapan Terima Kasih disampaikan kepada para dermawan yang telah menyumbangkan dana demi terbitnya buku ini yakni : 1. Bapak Liem Pen Niu, Semarang. 2. Perusahaan Taxi "ATLAS" - Semarang 3. Perusahaan Motto cap "MOBIL" - Bapak Sindhu Dharmali, Semarang. 4. N.N. Yayasan. KATA PENGANTAR Setelah penerbitan buku pertama " MENGENAL KELENTENG SAM POO KONG " beberapa tahun yang lalu, berbarengan perayaan JJlang tahun Kedatangan Yang Mulia Kongco SAM POO TAI JIN yang ke 585 ini, dengan segala rendah hati kami hadirkan sebuah buku yang membahas " DEW A -DEWI KELENTENG" ke hadapan para pembaca. Setelah penerbitan pertama yang khusus mengemukakan masalah KELENTENG SAM POO KONG dengan segala kegiatannya, kami berhasrat untuk mengemukakan hal yang lebih luas dan umum sifatnya. Telah kita sadari bersama bahwasanya Kelenteng sebagai salah satu sarana ibadat, mempunyai sejarah yang tua sekali dan luas, telapi belum banyak penelitian serta studi yang memadai, yang ditulis untuk bahan pegangan bagi para umatnya. Sehingga timbulah hal - hal yang sangat merugikan yang berarti kerugian bagi umat beragama pada umumnya. Bertitik tolak dari pikiran - pikiran inilah, maka dirasa perlu untuk berusaha menyusun sebuah buku yang khusus membahas masalah pemujaan tersebut, serta meluruskan segala kesimpangsiuran sekaligus meningkatkan pengetahuan dan pemahaman para umat serta simpatisan, agar lebih memahami hal yang sebenarnya. Peningkatan pengetahuan para umat ini sangat perlu bagi pembinaan kesadaran rohani mereka agar betul - betul dapat melaksanakan nilai -nilai luhur ajaran SUCI, serta meresapinya dalam kehidupan sehari - hari. Tugas Team menyusun buku ini tidaklah ringan, bukan hanya irena iingkupnya yang luas, tetapi juga disebabkan karena ba- in - bahan yang digunakan sebagai acuan sangat sulit didapat.
