L. Cheng Chin-tang Lo Cynthia Ning © 2003, Shao-ling Wang All rights reserved iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am not quite sure why my parents, You-min Chen and Yung-jang Wang. since my early years of schooling, have not cared too much about what is taught at school, but instead about what I have learned or sensed from the outside world, from the surroundings. However I know that from then on the passion for languages became what Shakespear's Leontes calls magic, "an artlLawful as eating" (Estrin, 1994). I remember that most ofthe days when other students were cramming for exams, I was sitting in my parents' language classes, becoming cultivated in the exquisite syntax and semantics of the tool for human communication. Most importantly, I was inspired by how to efficiently and effectively transmit a natural language to a non-native speaker of that language. In college, I was privileged to meet Dr. Chin-tang Lo who later supported my receipt of a Teaching Assistant Fellowship in the Ph.D program at the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures. For the past four and half years, I have been lucky to have my advisor, Dr.

These include hand techniques, leg techniques, jumps, sweeps, stances & footwork, seizing, throwing & wrestling, balances etc. Traditionally, Taolu routines were originally compiled to preserve the techniques and tactics of a particular lineage or system, and would gradually improve a practitioner's flexibility, stamina, strength, speed, balance and co-ordination, and would "imprint" a tactical order into practitioners. Taolu routines include individual routines and group routines, as well as partner/duel routines with 2 or more practitioners involved. They have a rich and diverse content utilizing a wide variety of techniques and include both bare-handed routines and those performed with weapons. Sport wushu has developed from traditional wushu and is presented to the world in the form of a modern Olympic sport with a perfect combination of ancient practices and modern sports principles. Athletes perform routines (barehanded or with weaponry) based on specific rules, highlighting their athletic strengths. Routines are appraised by a panel of judges who evaluate different aspects of a performance, namely quality of movements, overall performance and degree of difficulty, and award a score based on an athlete's performance.

    RELIGION AND SOCIETY IN ASIA Kuo (ed.) Kuo Religion and Nationalism in Chinese Societies Edited by Cheng-tian Kuo Religion and Nationalism in Chinese Societies Religion and Nationalism in Chinese Societies Religion and Society in Asia The Religion and Society in Asia series presents state-of-the-art cross-disciplinary academic research on colonial, postcolonial and contemporary entanglements between the socio-political and the religious, including the politics of religion, throughout Asian societies. It thus explores how tenets of faith, ritual practices and religious authorities directly and indirectly impact on local moral geographies, identity politics, political parties, civil society organizations, economic interests, and the law. It brings into view how tenets of faith, ritual practices and religious authorities are in turn configured according to socio-political, economic as well as security interests. The series provides brand new comparative material on how notions of self and other as well as justice and the commonweal have been predicated upon ‘the religious’ in Asia since the colonial/imperialist period until today.

  • Tai Ji Quan: an Overview of Its History, Health Benefits, and Cultural Value
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Journal of Sport and Health Science 3 (2014) 3e8 www.jshs.org.cn Review Tai Ji Quan: An overview of its history, health benefits, and cultural value Yucheng Guo*, Pixiang Qiu, Taoguang Liu School of Martial Arts, Shanghai University of Sport, Shanghai 200438, China Received 4 March 2013; revised 2 October 2013; accepted 18 October 2013 Abstract Tai Ji Quan is considered to be a part of traditional Chinese Wushu (a martial art) and comprises various styles that have evolved historically from the Chen, Yang, Wǔ,Wu´, and Sun families (schools). Recent simplification of the original classic styles has made Tai Ji Quan easier to adopt in practice. Thus, the traditional legacy of using Tai Ji Quan for self-defense, mindful nurturing of well-being, and fitness enhancement has been expanded to more contemporary applications that focus on promoting physical and mental health, enhancing general well-being, preventing chronic diseases, and being an effective clinical intervention for diverse medical conditions. As the impact of Tai Ji Quan on physical per- formance and health continues to grow, there is a need to better understand its historical impact and current status. This paper provides an overview of the evolution of Tai Ji Quan in China, its functional utility, and the scientific evidence of its health benefits, as well as how it has been a vehicle for enhancing cultural understanding and exchanging between East and West.
