Yeung According to the Nestorian Stele inscriptions, in the ninth year of the Zhen- guan era of the Tang Dynasty (635 AD), the Nestorian monk Mar Alopen, carry- ing with him 530 sacred texts1 and accompanied by 21 priests from Persia, arrived at Chang’an after years of traveling along the ancient Silk Road.2 The Emperor’s chancellor, Duke3 Fang Xuanling, along with the court guard, wel- comed the guests from Persia on the western outskirts of Chang’an and led them to Emperor Taizong of Tang, whose full name was Li Shimin. Alopen en- joyed the Emperor’s hospitality and was granted access to the imperial palace library4, where he began to undertake the translation of the sacred texts he had 1 According to the record of “Zun jing 尊經 Venerated Scriptures” amended to the Tang Dynasty Nestorian text “In Praise of the Trinity,” there were a total of 530 Nestorian texts.

  • The Fight for the Republic in China by BL Putnam
    The Fight For The Republic In China by B.L. Putnam Weale The Fight For The Republic In China by B.L. Putnam Weale Produced by Robert Rowe, Charles Franks and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team THE FIGHT FOR THE REPUBLIC IN CHINA BY B. L. PUTNAM WEALE PREFACE This volume tells everything that the student or the casual reader needs to know about the Chinese Question. It is sufficiently exhaustive to show very clearly the new forces at work, and to bring some realisation of the great gulf which separates the thinking classes of to-day from the men of a few years ago; whilst, at the same time, it is sufficiently condensed not to overwhelm the reader with too great a multitude of facts. Particular attention may be devoted to an unique feature--namely, page 1 / 644 the Chinese and Japanese documentation which affords a sharp contrast between varying types of Eastern brains. Thus, in the Memorandum of the Black Dragon Society (Chapter VII) we have a very clear and illuminating revelation of the Japanese political mind which has been trained to consider problems in the modern Western way, but which remains saturated with theocratic ideals in the sharpest conflict with the Twentieth Century. In the pamphlet of Yang Tu (Chapter VIII) which launched the ill-fated Monarchy Scheme and contributed so largely to the dramatic death of Yuan Shih-kai, we have an essentially Chinese mentality of the reactionary or corrupt type which expresses itself both on home and foreign issues in a naively dishonest way, helpful to future diplomacy.

In Pursuit of the Great Peace: Han Dynasty Classicism and the Making of Early Medieval Literati Culture Abstract This dissertation is focused on communities of people in the Han dynasty (205 B.C.-A.D. 220) who possessed the knowledge of a corpus of texts: the Five Classics. Previously scholars have understood the popularity of this corpus in the Han society as a result of stiff ideology and imperial propaganda. However, this approach fails to explain why the imperial government considered them effective to convey propaganda in the first place. It does not capture the diverse range of ideas in classicism. This dissertation concentrates on Han classicists and treats them as scholars who constantly competed for attention in intellectual communities and solved problems with innovative solutions that were plausible to their contemporaries. This approach explains the nature of the apocryphal texts, which scholars have previously referred to as shallow and pseudo-scientific.

  • The Administration of Spain Under Charles V, Spain's New Charlemagne
    THE ADMINISTRATION OF SPAIN UNDER CHARLES V, SPAIN’S NEW CHARLEMAGNE Joseph Beard, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2005 APPROVED: Laura Stern, Major Professor Marilyn Morris, Committee Member Peter Lane, Committee Member Harold Tanner, Chair of the Department of History Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Beard, Joseph, The Administration of Spain Under Charles V, Spain’s New Charlemagne. Master of Arts (History), May 2005, 232 pp., 3 tables, bibliography, 110 titles. Charles I, King of Spain, or Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, was the most powerful ruler in Europe since Charlemagne. With a Germanic background, and speaking French, Charles became King of Spain in 1516. Yet secondary sources and available sixteenth century Spanish sources such as Spanish Royal Council records, local records of Castro Urdiales in Castile, and Charles’s correspondence show that he continued the policies of his predecessors in Spain, Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile. He strove to strengthen his power and unify Spain and his empire using Castilian strength, a Castilian model of government, Roman law, religion, his strong personality, and a loyal and talented bureaucracy. Charles desired to be another Charlemagne, but with his base of power in Spain. TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES………………………………………………………………...……..iii Chapter 1.

  • Turandot's Homecoming: Seeking the Authentic Princess of China in A
    TURANDOT’S HOMECOMING: SEEKING THE AUTHENTIC PRINCESS OF CHINA IN A NEW CONTEST OF RIDDLES Ying-Wei Tiffany Sung A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2010 Committee: Vincent Corrigan, Advisor Mary Natvig Per F. Broman © 2010 Tiffany Ying-Wei Sung All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Vincent Corrigan, Advisor The negative portrait of Chinese culture in Puccini’s Turandot hindered this opera’s acceptance in China. Wei Minglun’s Sichuan Opera performance Chinese Princess Turandot (1995) and Zhang Yimou’s collaboration with Zubin Mehta on Puccini’s Turandot premiere in Beijing, however, brought Turandot home at the end of twentieth century. This thesis explores Turandot’s transformation and reception in China by analyzing the Chinese cultural representation and authenticity of these two Chinese versions. To provide a historical context, the thesis traces Turandot’s origin from Nizami’s Haft Paykar (1197) to Puccini’s opera. It also includes discussion of varied Chinese adaptations from 1995 to 2010. Ultimately, this thesis investigates issues of Orientalism, Occidentalism, authenticity, and hybridism in Turandot’s homecoming. Because the Orientalist image of Turandot has been modified by cross-cultural context, I propose that Orientalism and Occidentalism can be distinguished by how a work is made and how it is perceived. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to first thank to my family in Taiwan. Without their spiritual and financial support, I would not have had a chance to study abroad. I also want to express my gratitude to Dr.

I argue that by adapting the well-known patriotic story of General Yue Fei in Chinese history, Zhou Yingfang suggests new directions in grand historical narrative in her own voice and from her own perspective. Negotiating the writing conventions of earlier legends, she turns the stereotyped masculine image of Yue Fei into a hero in both public and domestic settings.

  • Toward a Zeal for Classicism Intellectual Transitions from 74 BC to AD 9 China
    Chapter 1 Toward a Zeal for Classicism Intellectual Transitions from 74 BC to AD 9 China ometimes we assume that we are more normal than we actually are, Sespecially when it comes to beliefs. Words like orthodox, heterodox, conservative, radical, and hater imply a spectrum in which we sit in the sweet middle spot and others fall on the less normal, and hence less cor- rect, range. Words like pagan, Pharisee, and zealot from biblical traditions embody this spectrum. Was Judas a good or bad person? The New Testa- ment Gospels and the Gospel of Judas would give you opposite answers.1 Nevertheless, both seek to convince you that their ideas are the norm; both compete over the middle spot in the spectrum. At the end of the first century BC in China, Liu Xin railed against his colleagues and insisted on adding several texts to the canon of the Five Classics. While his colleagues were still outraged by this extreme move, an incident added more fuel to the controversy: Liu’s enemy Li Xun 㛶⮳ (fl. 15–5 BC) convinced the emperor to depart from the classics in general. A similar spectrum seems to have formed: Liu Xin and Li Xun fell on two poles of the spectrum, and the others sat in the middle as the normal ones. But from the perspective of Li, was not everyone conservative, and from that of Liu, was not Li too radical and others too conservative? If so, how do we make sense of the different spectra in their minds? This chapter tells the story of radicals and conservatives in first century BC China, except they are more than radicals or conservatives.

  • Tang-Song Transition Theory”
    Journal of chinese humanities 6 (2020) 129-152 brill.com/joch Dispelling the Myth of the “Tang-Song Transition Theory” Yang Jiping 楊際平 Professor of Department of History, Xiamen University, Xiamen, Fujian, China [email protected] Abstract Administrative statutes in the Tang clearly recognized that the fields of commoners could be held through private ownership. Field ownership structures in the recently restored Tang Statutes, while seeming to support ideas of land nationalization, did not actually change the private landowning practices that had been in place since the Qin and the Han dynasties. Numerous tenancy contracts unearthed in Dunhuang and Turfan dating back to the Tang and Five Dynasties show ample evidence that, prior to the establishment of the double-tax system in 780, a highly developed system of contract tenancy was already in place. Tenancy was clearly the leading form of agricul- tural production outside subsistence farming. This proves that the labor force during the Sui and Tang dynasties consisted not of “slaves and tenant farmers” or “agricultural dependents and serfs” but of commoners who were legally free. The Sui, Tang, and Five Dynasties, as described by Japanese historian Naitō Konan, bear no resemblance to the historical reality of this period. In many instances, Naitō’s arguments have dis- torted the history of these dynasties in an effort to make China’s history fit neatly into the framework of medieval European history. Consequently, his premises, arguments, and his central conclusion are all wrong. It is crucial that we dispel the myth of Naitō’s “Tang-Song transition theory” and return to historical reality.

  • Notes on Translations of the East Asian Records Relating to the Supernova of Ad 1054
    Journal of Astronomical History and Heritage, 9(1), xx-xx (2006). NOTES ON TRANSLATIONS OF THE EAST ASIAN RECORDS RELATING TO THE SUPERNOVA OF AD 1054 David W. Pankenier Department of Modern Languages and Literature, Lehigh University, 9 West Packer Avenue, Bethlehem, PA 18015, USA. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The East Asian records of the ‘guest star’ of 1054 that produced the Crab Nebula have been re-evaluated more than once during the past decade. Although some of the apparent inconsistencies in the records have now been addressed, doubts about the reported position of the supernova still persist. The published translations of the records, moreover, are still unsatisfactory in certain respects. Here I offer corrections to the translations of several records, present a previously-unreported contemporaneous account of the guest star, and suggest an explanation of why the Song Dynasty astronomers erroneously placed SN1054 southeast of !
