  • Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907)
    Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907) BuYun Chen Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 BuYun Chen All rights reserved ABSTRACT Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907) BuYun Chen During the Tang dynasty, an increased capacity for change created a new value system predicated on the accumulation of wealth and the obsolescence of things that is best understood as fashion. Increased wealth among Tang elites was paralleled by a greater investment in clothes, which imbued clothes with new meaning. Intellectuals, who viewed heightened commercial activity and social mobility as symptomatic of an unstable society, found such profound changes in the vestimentary landscape unsettling. For them, a range of troubling developments, including crisis in the central government, deep suspicion of the newly empowered military and professional class, and anxiety about waste and obsolescence were all subsumed under the trope of fashionable dressing. The clamor of these intellectuals about the widespread desire to be “current” reveals the significant space fashion inhabited in the empire – a space that was repeatedly gendered female. This dissertation considers fashion as a system of social practices that is governed by material relations – a system that is also embroiled in the politics of the gendered self and the body. I demonstrate that this notion of fashion is the best way to understand the process through which competition for status and self-identification among elites gradually broke away from the imperial court and its system of official ranks.

  • Nuclear Energy and Environment
    In Memoriam of Alain Bugat Alain Bugat, Honorary President of the National Academy of Technologies of France, former General Administrator of the Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique (CEA) and a staunch defender of nuclear energy, initiated the three-Academies collaboration on Nuclear energy. He had invested much time and effort in shaping this report, bringing together experts from the three academies and giving it credibility and excellence. To our great grief, he passed away in January 2019 at a time where the report was already at an advanced stage of completion. The memory of his energetic and charismatic personality rests in our minds. Nuclear Energy and the Environment A COLLABORATIVE PROGRAMME BETWEEN FRENCH and CHINESE ACADEMIES May 2019 Foreword This report on nuclear energy and the environment is jointly released by the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the National Academy of Technologies of France and the French Academy of sciences. It is a second collaborative study of the three academies on nuclear energy matters. The first report, issued in August 2017, covered many aspects of nuclear energy and offered joint, mostly technical, recommendations for the direction of nuclear energy in the future. It was an attempt to provide an objective overview of many scientific and technological issues on nuclear energy (its position in the future energy mix, benefits, strengths and weak points, research and development perspectives, technology and safety, engineering etc.), as well as societal issues (education, training, risk perception, public awareness etc.). But it was admittedly far from being exhaustive. Environmental issues were not considered in sufficient depth in the previous report despite their being crucial for the future of this industry, and the Academies felt it necessary to pursue their cooperation and further address these important issues.

  • Northern Song Intellectual Discourse on Yang Xiong's Taixuan
    DOI: 10.6503/THJCS.2014.44(4).01 Northern Song Intellectual Discourse on Yang Xiong’s ∗ Taixuan jing Douglas Skonicki∗∗ Department of Chinese Literature National Tsing Hua University ABSTRACT In the eleventh century, the life and thought of the Han dynasty thinker Yang Xiong became an important topic of debate. Confucian literati of the Northern Song dynasty produced more writings devoted to Yang and his thought than during any other period in Chinese history. These facts raise two important questions. First, what role did Yang Xiong’s thought play during the Northern Song? And second, why did literati become interested in Yang Xiong at this time? This study analyzes how Northern Song thinkers viewed one of Yang’s major works, the Taixuan jing, in an effort to determine both why Yang’s ideas assumed renewed importance and what literati had to say about him. I argue that Northern Song writings on Yang’s Taixuan jing can be categorized into two distinct strains. The first strain focused on several issues related to Yang’s character and conduct, which influenced how Northern Song thinkers conceived of worthy status. The second strain centered on the theoretical doctrines found within the Taixuan jing, which served to inform Northern Song conceptions of the Yijing and the relationship between humanity and the cosmos. Key words: Yang Xiong, Taixuan jing, the Northern Song dynasty, literati thought, cosmology ∗ The author would like to thank the editor and anonymous reviewers of the Tsing Hua Journal of Chinese Studies for their constructive criticism and suggestions for revising the article. ∗∗ The author’s email address: [email protected] 清華學報 新 44 卷第 4 期(民國 103 年 12 月)第 541~587 頁 542 清 華 學 報 1.

D I have worked with most of the materials from which these prod- ucts are made, but the most challenging and rewarding has been ceramics. Sophisticated manufacturing has all but replaced the artisanal approach which defined their history, yet this exposure to modern ceramics production has given me a unique appreciation for the history of the ceramic art and the lengthy trial-and-error evolution which produced some of the most remark- able ceramics the world has ever seen. It all developed in China. The large body of extraordinarily beautiful and complex ceramics created over many millennia in China is ample proof of China’s pre-eminence in world ceram- ics. My understanding of that miraculous achievement, coupled with my experience in modern manufacturing techniques, inspired me to learn more about the early Chinese potters and their craft. My enthusiasm for collecting soon deepened into an even more passionate inquiry. Early in my collecting days I recognized that a wide-ranging collection of beautiful pieces from many categories would not be as rewarding as a collection created by a disciplined strategy of identifying a few specific categories and buying in depth within those categories.

  • Kunlun and Kunlun Slaves As Buddhists in the Eyes of the Tang Chinese
    KEMANUSIAAN Vol. 22, No. 1, (2015), 27–52 Kunlun and Kunlun Slaves as Buddhists in the Eyes of the Tang Chinese KANG HEEJUNG Sogang University, Seoul, Korea [email protected] Abstract. As the entries on Kunluns and Kunlunnus increased in the historical records of Tang, art pieces depicting them also increased. The people of Tang wrote mystical tales about the Kunlunnu, who possessed supernatural powers. Kunlun was not a word that indicated a specific country in Southeast Asia. Kunluns are represented in the historical records as having "wavy hair and dark skin". Even if Hinduism was more prevalent than Buddhism in Southeast Asia from the third century to the seventh century, Kunluns were often presented as followers of the Buddhist faith in Chinese art, which likely resulted from the fact that the Southeast Asians brought in Buddhist goods as items with which to pay tribute to China. This is why the Chinese presumed that the Southeast Asians were fervent Buddhists. Within the tributary system, the Kunlunnus from a certain region in Southeast Asia were strangers to the Chinese, but they became regarded as Buddhists with magical powers, which departed from their real existence. Keywords and phrases: Kunlun, Kunlunnu, Tang China, Southeast Asia, Buddhism Introduction The Southeast Asian historian, O. W. Wolters (1967, 153) wrote that the Chinese called the Southeast Asian maritime people and region "the Kunlun" 崑崙 from the beginning of their acquaintance with them. Kunlun was also written as Kunlun 昆侖 and Juelun 掘倫 in Chinese records. The Southeast Asian people who engaged in maritime commerce with China during the fifth and sixth centuries CE were known as Kunlun, but from the seventh century onward, the term was limited to the people of Indonesia.

Since January 2002, China, the most heavily populated country with more than 1.3 billion inhabitants in a territory of 9.5 million km2 (17 times larger than France), has a nuclear capacity of 9 GWe with 11 nuclear plants on line. Forecasts of electricity consumption report a need for 900 to 1,000 GWe per year through 2020, and at this time the country’s objective is to increase nuclear- generated electricity from 1% to 4% of its total output. This means a need for additional 30 GWe, which is the equivalent of twenty 1,500 MWe reactors. In addition to nuclear power, China is pushing renewable energy. With the passage of the 2005 Renewable Energy Law, China's government imposed a national renewable energy requirement that is expected to boost the use of renewable energy capacity from 10 to 12 percent by 2020, up from 3% in 2003.
