Team Introduction -Marketing, Management： Yuan Li Li Ouyang -Designing, production: Zhenhao Guo Fashion designer Qiao Yu animation designer （1：make a short animation for the atmosphere；2： Illustration for the cloth；3：Poster and postercard design) -Curator Yolanda Liu is a fashion writer and curator specializing in contemporary art and fashion. Research -about the book The book is not a narrative, as the "plot" involves detailed descriptions of locations in the cardinal directions of the Mountains, Regions Beyond Seas, Regions Within Seas, and Wilderness. The descriptions are usually of medicines, animals, and geological features. Many descriptions are very mundane, and an equal number are fanciful or strange. Each chapter follows roughly the same formula, and the whole book is repetitious in this way. (Pictures of Shan Hai Ching) It contains many short myths, and most rarely exceed a paragraph.In this geography book,it contain the a lot of interesting creatures,especially some monsters.They are different from those monsters which often appear in Chinese mythology and they are not that familiar with people. (monsters from Shan Hai Ching) There are gaps between traditional niche cultural, contemporary method and fashion. This project will conduct and organize an exhibition: Using the concept monster images from Shan Hai Ching, Taking the garments, motion pictures, illustrations as the carrier to present the ancient Chinese mysterious monster and myth stories and create an exhibition event that offer entertainment experience for audiences. -about the materials In order to promote this aspect of our funny eeriness monster oriental culture , we intend to demonstrate the clothing as the main body,with the atmosphere animation, illustration , lighting and other art forms, while adding other art products,like Chinese traditional art paper cutting, postcard, arts piece of garment, Eco bag. All the art piece, garments, and all other products in exhibition will related to four main monster elements and myth stories: Hello fish, Pixiu, Aoyin Monster and Jingwei Bird. -about the monsters -Hello fish ,何罗鱼: Hello fish,actually named Heluo, fish with one head and ten bodies. -Pixiu，貔貅: Originally known as Bixie (Chinese: 辟 邪 ), is a Chinese mythical hybrid creature considered to be a very powerful protector to practitioners of Feng Shui. It resembles a wingedlion. Pixiu is an earth and sea variation, particularly an influential and auspicious creature for wealth. It is said to have a voracious appetite towards only gold and silver. Therefore, traditionally to the Chinese, Pixiu has always been regarded as an auspicious creature that possessed mystical power capable of drawing Cai Qi (財氣 wealth) from all directions. Thus, it is helpful for those who are going through a bad year according to Chinese zodiac. There are two different types of Pixiu. The difference is with their horns. The one with two horns is known as Pi Ya (possibly a corruption from pi xie (辟邪) and the one with one horn is called Tian Lu (天祿) (Pi Chen). -Aoyin， 獓狠 Giant cannibal monster, who lives in the dark mountain,looks like bull with four long corns and long hair. -Jingwei bird, 精卫 Jingwei (simplified Chinese: 精卫) is a bird in Chinese mythology, transformed from the daughter of Yandi named Nüwa (different from the goddess Nüwa who created mankind and repaired the heavens). After she drowned when playing in the Eastern Sea, she metamorphosed into a bird called Jingwei. Jingwei is determined to fill up the sea, so she continuously carries a pebble or twig in her mouth and drops it into the Eastern Sea. Jingwei has a dialogue with the sea where the sea scoffs her, saying that she won't be able to fill it up even in a million years, whereupon she retorts that she will spend ten million years, even one hundred million years, whatever it takes to fill up the sea so that others would not have to perish as she did. From this myth comes the Chinese chengyu idiom "Jingwei Tries to Fill the Sea" (精卫填海), meaning dogged determination and perseverance in the face of seemingly impossible odds. -about the garment -about the exhibition Place： -Conclusion of research First meeting： I tried these design in Chinese paper cutting style,but we decide not to use these.Too much details and the shape is too well-disciplined. Second meeting: During the second meeting,I started another style,looks like the comic draft.The shapes of the animal are not that clear,but we agreed to use this patterns on cloth.But I am going to adjust these draft to a final ones. Our project is still ongoing,we plan to have this exhibition during the first week of May.Here is our timetable: -Conclusion of research I have learned a lot from this collaboration. Although this is not the first time ,I do some collaboration with other students,we still meet some problems. -We come to the same viewpoint by doing more research and discussing . -Different students have their different talent. - We share resources. -We have more ideals and solutions when collaborate. -We make plan together and supervise each other. -We share the risks. From this project, I have a deeper understanding of the Chinese culture of ancient monsters now . I learned some basic tailoring skills and theory fashion design from the fashion designer in our team. I also saw how to layout an exhibition by working with marketing management student. These are good resources and inspiration for creating future works..

  • Social and Political Criticisms Embedded in Chinese Myths and Legends
    https://doi.org/10.7592/FEJF2019.75.xiyao SOCIAL AND POLITICAL CRITICISMS EMBEDDED IN CHINESE MYTHS AND LEGENDS HE Xiyao School of English Studies Zhejiang International Studies University Hangzhou, China e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Chinese myths and legends, as popular cultural products, may be subjected to the analytical methods of cultural studies, which is the approach this study adopts when investigating their complex relationship with Chinese society and history. In particular, the social and political criticisms embedded in these myths and legends are studied, and this is done through exploring the reasons for the prominence of the embedded criticisms in Chinese myths and legends, and sorting out the general trend of their development. The prominence is accounted for by the harsh censorship and the influence of the Chu spirit and Taoism on Chinese culture.1 In the development of these criticisms, four stages are marked, each (cor)responding to the historical circumstances and with its own distinct feature. The study concludes with the historicity of Chinese myths and legends; the criticisms are embedded in them and they, in turn, are embedded in Chinese society and history. Keywords: censorship of culture, Chinese myths and legends, Chu spirit, cultural studies, social and political criticisms, strategies and tactics, Taoism APPROACH ADOPTED IN THIS STUDY Among the various approaches to the study of Chinese mythology – and of mythology in general – an important one that has persisted throughout the last century and has remained influential to this day is to study the complex relationship between mythology and society, i.e., how the two have affected, structured, and shaped each other.

This question has long perplexed scholars of Chinese religions mainly on account of (1) the alleged deep ethnocentrism of Chinese civilization—that should have prevented the acceptance of a “barbarian” religion and god—and (2) the dearth of reliable relevant information for the period (first through fourth centuries CE). On the basis of the fragmentary textual sources available, the traditional narrative resolved the first problem by arguing that the initial misunderstanding or assimilation of Buddhism in terms of Daoism was pivotal in the initial acceptance of the foreign religion. The second problem has been partially ameliorated by the archaeological discovery in the last decades of dozens of objects bearing recognizably Buddhist motifs that have been dated to this period.

  • Mapping the Daoist Body (Part One)
    Mapping the Daoist Body Part One * The Neijing tu in History LOUIS KOMJATHY Abstract This article examines the history and content of the Neijing tu 內經圖 (Dia‑ gram of Internal Pathways), a late nineteenth‑century stele currently housed in Baiyun guan 白雲觀 (White Cloud Monastery; Beijing). The dia‑ gram is one of the most well‑known illustrations of the Daoist body, though its historical provenance has not been sufficiently documented to date. The present article provides a more complete account of its context of production and dissemination, namely, within the context of Baiyun guan, the late imperial Longmen 龍門 (Dragon Gate) lineage of the Quanzhen 全 真 (Complete Perfection) monastic order, and elite imperial court culture. I then turn to a systematic study of its contents and the Daoist methods ex‑ pressed in its contours. Within its topographical landscape, one finds a spe‑ cific vision of the Daoist body, a body actualized through Daoist alchemical * The present article is part of my ongoing research project on Daoist body maps and Daoist views of self. I am grateful to Livia Kohn, Liu Xun, Jiang Sheng, and the anonymous readers of the Journal of Daoist Studies for their helpful com‑ ments. I also wish to thank Kate Townsend for her many insights into Daoist cultivation and Chinese medicine. 67 68 / Journal of Daoist Studies 1 (2008) praxis. As such, the Neijing tu and its various rubbings were more than likely intended as visual aids for Daoist religious training. For readability, the article has been divided into two parts. The current section discusses the diagram’s historical and terminological dimensions.
