  • A Synopsis of the Culture of Chinese Gardens..Pdf
    A Synopsis of the Culture of Chinese Gardens Prepared by Malcolm Wong – Chairman of the Dunedin Chinese Gardens Trust (February 2009) Introduction In his book Yuan Ye, which was completed in 1634, Ji Cheng wrote that although the garden is made with the hand of man it must look as though it was made in heaven. To fully understand the concept of the Chinese garden is to understand how the Chinese view the universe. This may seem a bold statement but over two thousand years of history gives it some credence. What then makes this so and why have Chinese gardens so fascinated the West? When did this fascination begin and why can’t these Gardens be recreated by western gardeners? In the 1920’s an educated Chinese gentlemen, on visiting Europe, commented when shown a “mown and bordered lawn which, while no doubt would be of interest to a cow, offers no interest to human beings”. Therein lies the fundamental difference in gardening between East and West. Chinese build gardens whereas the West plant gardens. However, if the difference was as simple as that to master, Chinese gardens would have been replicated with ease by the great western landscape architects. The fascination by the West of things Chinese began on the eve of 1699 when the Court of France held a Chinese festival to commemorate the coming new year. The term “chinoiserie” was coined at this time and so began the West’s great desire for all things Chinese. This interest included porcelain, artwork, furniture and ceramics and then extended to gardening.

  • Records of the Transmission of the Lamp (Jingde Chuadeng
    The Hokun Trust is pleased to support the fifth volume of a complete translation of this classic of Chan (Zen) Buddhism by Randolph S. Whitfield. The Records of the Transmission of the Lamp is a religious classic of the first importance for the practice and study of Zen which it is hoped will appeal both to students of Buddhism and to a wider public interested in religion as a whole. Contents Foreword by Albert Welter Preface Acknowledgements Introduction Appendix to the Introduction Abbreviations Book Eighteen Book Nineteen Book Twenty Book Twenty-one Finding List Bibliography Index Foreword The translation of the Jingde chuandeng lu (Jingde era Record of the Transmission of the Lamp) is a major accomplishment. Many have reveled in the wonders of this text. It has inspired countless numbers of East Asians, especially in China, Japan and Korea, where Chan inspired traditions – Chan, Zen, and Son – have taken root and flourished for many centuries. Indeed, the influence has been so profound and pervasive it is hard to imagine Japanese and Korean cultures without it. In the twentieth century, Western audiences also became enthralled with stories of illustrious Zen masters, many of which are rooted in the Jingde chuandeng lu. I remember meeting Alan Ginsburg, intrepid Beat poet and inveterate Buddhist aspirant, in Shanghai in 1985. He had been invited as part of a literary cultural exchange between China and the U. S., to perform a series of lectures for students at Fudan University, where I was a visiting student. Eager to meet people who he could discuss Chinese Buddhism with, I found myself ushered into his company to converse on the subject.

  • Teachers' Guide for Painting
    Painting TO THE TEACHER OBJECTIVES OF THIS UNIT: To introduce students to one of the major Chinese arts. To raise questions about what we can infer from paintings about social and material life. To introduce the distinction between court and scholar painting and allow discussion of the emergence of landscape as a major art form. TEACHING STRATEGIES: This unit can be taught as a general introduction to Chinese painting or the two main subsections can be taught independently, depending on whether the teacher is more interested in using painting to teach about other things or wants to discuss painting itself as an art. WHEN TO TEACH: In a chronologically-organized course, Painting should not be used before the Song period, as most of the examples in this unit are from the Song and Yuan dynasties. If both Calligraphy and Painting are used, Calligraphy should precede Painting, as it provides valuable information on social and aesthetic values which informed the study, evaluation, and collecting of both types of works of art. This unit would also be appropriate in a course on Chinese art. http://depts.washington.edu/chinaciv/painting/tptgintr.htm (1 of 3) [11/26/2001 10:59:00 AM] Painting We know from textual and archaeological sources that painting was practiced in China from very early times and in a variety of media. Wall paintings were produced in great numbers in the early period of China's history, but because so little early architecture in China remained intact over the centuries, few of these large-scale paintings have survived.
