  • The Towers of Yue Olivia Rovsing Milburn Abstract This Paper
    Acta Orientalia 2010: 71, 159–186. Copyright © 2010 Printed in Norway – all rights reserved ACTA ORIENTALIA ISSN 0001-6438 The Towers of Yue Olivia Rovsing Milburn Seoul National University Abstract This paper concerns the architectural history of eastern and southern China, in particular the towers constructed within the borders of the ancient non-Chinese Bai Yue kingdoms found in present-day southern Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong provinces. The skills required to build such structures were first developed by Huaxia people, and hence the presence of these imposing buildings might be seen as a sign of assimilation. In fact however these towers seem to have acquired distinct meanings for the ancient Bai Yue peoples, particularly in marking a strong division between those groups whose ruling houses claimed descent from King Goujian of Yue and those that did not. These towers thus formed an important marker of identity in many ancient independent southern kingdoms. Keywords: Bai Yue, towers, architectural history, identity, King Goujian of Yue Introduction This paper concerns the architectural history of eastern and southern China, in particular the relics of the ancient non-Chinese kingdoms found in present-day southern Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and 160 OLIVIA ROVSING MILBURN Guangdong provinces. In the late Spring and Autumn period, Warring States era, and early Han dynasty these lands formed the kingdoms of Wu 吳, Yue 越, Minyue 閩越, Donghai 東海 and Nanyue 南越, in addition to the much less well recorded Ximin 西閩, Xiyue 西越 and Ouluo 甌駱.1 The peoples of these different kingdoms were all non- Chinese, though in the case of Nanyue (and possibly also Wu) the royal house was of Chinese origin.2 This paper focuses on one single aspect of the architecture of these kingdoms: the construction of towers.

The form and distribution of the Zhang- hensive geopark containing many spectacular quartz jiajie sandstone landforms are primarily dominated by the sandstone landforms, limestone karst landscapes and vari- geological setting, particularly the presence of brittle ous other important geoheritage resources. It is listed as a structures (fractures and joint sets) trending NNW, ENE UNESCO World Geopark and is also part of the World and NE. Triggered by the episodic tectonic movements, Heritage Wulingyuan Scenic and Historic Interest Area for major streams and escarpments frequently occur along its important landscape features. Many of the sandstone these structural directions, while some of the peak walls, landforms, particularly the vast number of thin pillars or peak clusters and peak forests have their longer elongated spires, are very unusual and serve as the core landscapes of axes corresponding to NE or NNW directions, with an the geopark. But Zhangjiajie displays a diverse range of increased density of peak forms at the intersection of these landform types, exhibiting spectacular patterns and regular fractures and joints.

A decade later, however, the global village still faces the continued reality of suffering, whether it is the slaughter of innocents in politically volatile regions, the ongoing economic crisis that currently roils the world financial system, or repeated natural disasters. Buddhism has always taught that the world is inherently unstable and its teachings are rooted in the perception of the three marks that govern all conditioned existence: impermanence, suffering, and non-self. Indeed, the veracity of the Buddhist worldview continues to be borne out by our collective experience today.

  • Inventing Chinese Buddhas: Identity, Authority, and Liberation in Song-Dynasty Chan Buddhism
    Inventing Chinese Buddhas: Identity, Authority, and Liberation in Song-Dynasty Chan Buddhism Kevin Buckelew Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Kevin Buckelew All rights reserved Abstract Inventing Chinese Buddhas: Identity, Authority, and Liberation in Song-Dynasty Chan Buddhism Kevin Buckelew This dissertation explores how Chan Buddhists made the unprecedented claim to a level of religious authority on par with the historical Buddha Śākyamuni and, in the process, invented what it means to be a buddha in China. This claim helped propel the Chan tradition to dominance of elite monastic Buddhism during the Song dynasty (960–1279), licensed an outpouring of Chan literature treated as equivalent to scripture, and changed the way Chinese Buddhists understood their own capacity for religious authority in relation to the historical Buddha and the Indian homeland of Buddhism. But the claim itself was fraught with complication. After all, according to canonical Buddhist scriptures, the Buddha was easily recognizable by the “marks of the great man” that adorned his body, while the same could not be said for Chan masters in the Song. What, then, distinguished Chan masters from everyone else? What authorized their elite status and granted them the authority of buddhas? According to what normative ideals did Chan aspirants pursue liberation, and by what standards did Chan masters evaluate their students to determine who was worthy of admission into an elite Chan lineage? How, in short, could one recognize a buddha in Song-dynasty China? The Chan tradition never answered this question once and for all; instead, the question broadly animated Chan rituals, institutional norms, literary practices, and visual cultures.

  • Facts and Fiction About the Figure of the Chinese Meditation Master Wolun*
    A Pliable Life: Facts and Fiction about the Figure of the Chinese Meditation Master Wolun* Carmen Meinert (Hamburg) I Object of Research The Chinese meditation master Tanlun – better known to posterity by his nickname Wolun – passed away in 626 AD at the age of over eighty years in Zhuangyan monastery in Chang’an, officially leaving behind one lay student and no work that was included in the Buddhist canon. Judging from the scarce biographical material available, Wolun is under no account representa- tive of the whole, rather heterogeneous movement of early Meditation Buddhism in China. Instead he must even be regarded as an isolated case that after his decease has seemingly left little to no impact to the immediate Meditation Buddhist movement in China proper. None- theless, a number of Chinese and Tibetan Dunhuang manuscripts and autochthon Tibetan texts witness Wolun’s posthumous fame. Those materials prove that a meditation practice connected to a certain Wolun belong properly within a regional current of Chinese Meditation Buddhism, known as Cig car ba (sudden teaching), prevailing in Dunhuang and Tibet from the 8th and 9th centuries.1 Then, it seems that the knowledge of the supposedly forgotten 6th cen- tury meditation master Wolun travelled back to China via Dunhuang. Wolun is mentioned once more in the 9th century by Zongmi (780–841) in the preface to his doxographical treatise on Meditation Buddhist Schools, in the Chanyuan zhuquan ji duxu. Very much in the tradition of his own teacher Shenhui (684–758) Zongmi’s material is presented with an underlying doc- trinal agenda, to reinforce the classification of sudden and gradual teachings and to show the superiority of the former to the latter.

  • 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment
    IUCN World Heritage Outlook: https://worldheritageoutlook.iucn.org/ China Danxia - 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment China Danxia 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment SITE INFORMATION Country: China Inscribed in: 2010 Criteria: (vii) (viii) China Danxia is the name given in China to landscapes developed on continental red terrigenous sedimentary beds influenced by endogenous forces (including uplift) and exogenous forces (including weathering and erosion). The inscribed site comprises six areas found in the sub-tropical zone of south- west China. They are characterized by spectacular red cliffs and a range of erosional landforms, including dramatic natural pillars, towers, ravines, valleys and waterfalls. These rugged landscapes have helped to conserve sub-tropical broad-leaved evergreen forests, and host many species of flora and fauna, about 400 of which are considered rare or threatened. © UNESCO SUMMARY 2020 Conservation Outlook Finalised on 01 Dec 2020 GOOD The conservation outlook for the property is generally good. The current state of the values of the property and the trend are respectively satisfactory and stable. The serial nature of the property, with its six widely separated component parts, is complex but the authorities must be commended on the degree to which they have provided a uniformly consistent legal and institutional framework for protection and management. Existing staff and other management resources appear to be adequate in coping with current factors affecting the property and low levels of threat. Protection of the property is assisted by its remoteness from development and the robust character of the geological landscape. Effective protection and management of the natural forest vegetation and biodiversity contributes significantly to the scenic and aesthetic qualities and to the on-going land forming processes.

  • Evaluating Rural Tourism Operators' Satisfaction
    論文 総合観光学会誌『総合観光研究』第 19 号 2021 年 3 月 Japanese Journal of Tourism Studies,No.19 March 2021 Evaluating Rural Tourism Operators’ Satisfaction: Evidence from Taining, Fujian Province, China Ruying WANG Kumar BHATTA Yasuo OHE Abstract: Although rural tourism (RT) can contribute to reducing the rural-urban economic gap by providing additional opportunities for income, literature on the topic is limited, particularly in developing economies. Thus, firstly we investigated this issue by a fixed-effects model of panel data at the semi-micro level focusing on eight districts of Fujian province, China. Results revealed that when the GDP of tourism increased in rural areas, the rural- urban income gap became smaller. Secondly, by a binary logit model applied at the micro-level from our surveyed data in Taining county, Fujian province, we investigated the factors contributing to operators’ satisfaction and incomes. The results showed that those RT operators who have RT income from 10% to 30% of their total have repeat visitors and are more satisfied. Operators with only a primary school education are less satisfied with their RT operation. Operators who desire to improve service quality, have their own business and have easily accessed farms derive more income from RT. At the same time, it is important for operators to balance tourism activities with other farm activities due to constraints on managerial resources. Keywords: rural tourism, fixed effect model, income gap, operator’s satisfaction, China 1. Introduction popular throughout the country in the 1990s. Rural tourism (RT) has many advantages not Considering that the income gap between urban only in monetary terms but also by providing and rural areas has become increasingly larger other benefits to rural areas and its residents.
