The journey of writing is not like a trip in which people can relax and enjoy sightseeing. My writing journey has taken a long time, and fixing problems and overcoming obstacles has become the primary work in the journey. The most invaluable lesson on this writing journey has not come from seeing how beautiful the ‘landscape’ has been along the way, but lies in the capacity and confidence that I have built up through dealing with troubles, dilemmas, and mental stress. In this painful, arduous, but significant journey, I have received great encouragement from my main supervisor Professor Iwasaki Minoru, and my sub-supervisors Professor Lee Hyoduk, Professor Yonetani Masafumi, Professor Philip A. Seaton and Professor Hashimoto Yūichi. Without their patient guidance and supervision through the years of my doctoral research, this dissertation would never have been completed. My parent’s unwavering support, both financially and mentally, and warm encouragement from friends and family members have been the spiritual power that kept me going even during those nights when I never got to see the stars in the sky, and through those days sailing through storms, insuring that I never gave up. Thank you to all of you for standing by my side from the beginning to the end.

However, the historical issues between China and Japan are yet to be resolved and still affect bilateral relations today. Trends in Sino-Japanese relations have changed between 1972 and 2017, and historical consciousness and war memories in Japan have transformed accordingly. This thesis traces the relationships between Sino-Japanese relations, Japanese historical consciousness and Japanese war memories. The theoretical framework of this thesis is constructed based on memory studies. Memory studies

  • An Ideological Analysis of the Birth of Chinese Indie Music
    REPHRASING MAINSTREAM AND ALTERNATIVES: AN IDEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE BIRTH OF CHINESE INDIE MUSIC Menghan Liu A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2012 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Kristen Rudisill Esther Clinton © 2012 MENGHAN LIU All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This thesis project focuses on the birth and dissemination of Chinese indie music. Who produces indie? What is the ideology behind it? How can they realize their idealistic goals? Who participates in the indie community? What are the relationships among mainstream popular music, rock music and indie music? In this thesis, I study the production, circulation, and reception of Chinese indie music, with special attention paid to class, aesthetics, and the influence of the internet and globalization. Borrowing Stuart Hall’s theory of encoding/decoding, I propose that Chinese indie music production encodes ideologies into music. Pierre Bourdieu has noted that an individual’s preference, namely, tastes, corresponds to the individual’s profession, his/her highest educational degree, and his/her father’s profession. Whether indie audiences are able to decode the ideology correctly and how they decode it can be analyzed through Bourdieu’s taste and distinction theory, especially because Chinese indie music fans tend to come from a community of very distinctive, 20-to-30-year-old petite-bourgeois city dwellers. Overall, the thesis aims to illustrate how indie exists in between the incompatible poles of mainstream Chinese popular music and Chinese rock music, rephrasing mainstream and alternatives by mixing them in itself.

In The Eye Of The Selector: Ancient-Style Prose Anthologies In Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) China Abstract The rapid growth of woodblock printing in sixteenth-century China not only transformed wenzhang (“literature”) as a category of knowledge, it also transformed the communities in which knowledge of wenzhang circulated. Twentieth-century scholarship described this event as an expansion of the non-elite reading public coinciding with the ascent of vernacular fiction and performance literature over stagnant classical forms. Because this narrative was designed to serve as a native genealogy for the New Literature Movement, it overlooked the crucial role of guwen (“ancient-style prose,” a term which denoted the everyday style of classical prose used in both preparing for the civil service examinations as well as the social exchange of letters, gravestone inscriptions, and other occasional prose forms among the literati) in early modern literary culture. This dissertation revises that narrative by showing how a diverse range of social actors used anthologies of ancient-style prose to build new forms of literary knowledge and shape new literary publics.

    Are You a Good Chinese Musician? The Ritual Transmission of Social Norms in a Chinese Reality Music Talent Show Miaowen Zhou Master’s Thesis in East Asian Culture and History (EAST4591 - 60 Credits) Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Spring 2015 © Miaowen Zhou 2015 Are You a Good Chinese Musician? The Ritual Transmission of Social Norms of a Chinese Reality Music Talent Show http://www.duo.uio.no/ Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo II Abstract The sensational success of a Chinese reality music talent show, Super Girls’ Voice (SGV), in 2005 not only crowned many unknown Chinese girls/women with the hail of celebrity overnight, but also caused hot debates on many subjects including whether the show triggered cultural, even political democracy in China. 10 years have passed and China is in another heyday of reality music talent shows. However, the picture differs from before. For instance, not everybody can take part in it anymore. And the state television China Central Television (CCTV) joined the competition for market share. It actually became a competitive player of “reality” by claiming to find the best original and creative Chinese musicians whose voices CCTV previously avoided or oppressed. In this thesis, I will examine one CCTV show, The Song of China (SOC), in order to examine what the norms of good Chinese music and musicians are in the context of reality music talent shows. My work will hopefully give you some insights into the characteristics and the wider social and political influences of such reality music talent shows in the post-SGV era.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, MI48106-1346 ABSTRACT Chen Duxiu's Early Years: The Importance of Personal Connections in the Social and Intellectual Transformation of China 1895-1920 by Anne Shen Chao Chen Duxiu (1879-1942), is without question one of the most significant figures in modern Chinese history. Yet his early life has been curiously neglected in Western scholarship. In this dissertation I examine the political, social and intellectual networks that played such an important role in his early career—a career that witnessed his transformation from a classical scholar in the Qing dynasty (1644-1912), to a reformer, to a revolutionary, to a renowned writer and editor, to a university dean, to a founder of the Chinese Communist Party, all in the space of about two decades.

But as soon as the fruit falls, it begins to wither away. We live with this "loss and hope" in our daily lives, and characters in movies and television series are no exception. They too eventually have to face trivial matters such as growth, family and love just like any other person. This is perhaps why we love movies. No matter how fantastical the theme of a movie is, we can always find aspects of life reflected in it, giving us strength to face the past and to have hope for the future. 本期的几部好莱坞大片均为系列之作。《蜘蛛侠: 英雄远征》的时间线延续“复联 4”,彼得·帕克和全 世界都在适应没有钢铁侠的世界,尚处于青少年的彼得 更是意志消沉,陷入了自己到底是“普通人”还是“英 雄”的自我怀疑中。新人物“神秘客”的加入仿佛给了 彼得更多的希望,但随着故事的层层深入,他身上的谜 团也越来越多。神盾局局长尼克·弗瑞回归领军,他的 真实身份竟然成了故事的最大亮点。“欲带皇冠,必承 其重”,且看新一代蜘蛛侠如何走出困惑,快速成长。 1 主 题 THEME Several of this month's Hollywood blockbusters are After a nine-year wait, the fourth installment of the Toy franchises.

  • “Qiulai” Qin Unraveled by Radiocarbon Dating, Chinese Inscriptions And
    Durier et al. Herit Sci (2021) 9:89 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40494-021-00563-8 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access The story of the “Qiulai” qin unraveled by radiocarbon dating, Chinese inscriptions and material characterization Marie‑Gabrielle Durier1,2,3* , Alexandre Girard‑Muscagorry3,4, Christine Hatté1*, Tiphaine Fabris2,5, Cyrille Foasso6, Witold Nowik2,5 and Stéphane Vaiedelich2,3 Abstract An ancient table zither qin, an emblematic stringed instrument of traditional Chinese music, has been rediscovered in the museum collection of the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (inv.4224, CNAM collection), Paris. This instrument named “Qiulai” qin, whose origin is poorly documented, can claim to be one of the oldest qin preserved in European collections; its state of conservation is exceptional. A thorough examination was carried out based on an innovative approach combining museum expertise, material characterization analyses (optical microscopy, VIS/ IR/UV imaging, X-ray fuorescence, SEM–EDS, Raman) and advanced radiocarbon dating technology (MICADAS). Our results highlight the great coherence with the traditional manufacturing practices mentioned in early Qing dynasty qin treatises and poems, in particular the collection of materials with highly symbolic meanings referring to the qin sound, nature and the universe. The reuse of resinous wood of the Taxus family from a building such as a temple has been demonstrated. The ash layer contains bone black, crushed malachite and residues of silica, ochres, potassium and magnesium aluminosilicates. Our study confrms the antiquity of the "Qiulai" qin in Europe by indicating that it was most likely made in the small [1659–1699] interval of about 30 years at the turn of the eighteenth century.
