  • The Birth of Chinese Feminism Columbia & Ko, Eds
    & liu e-yin zHen (1886–1920?) was a theo- ko Hrist who figured centrally in the birth , karl of Chinese feminism. Unlike her contem- , poraries, she was concerned less with China’s eds fate as a nation and more with the relation- . , ship among patriarchy, imperialism, capi- talism, and gender subjugation as global historical problems. This volume, the first translation and study of He-Yin’s work in English, critically reconstructs early twenti- eth-century Chinese feminist thought in a transnational context by juxtaposing He-Yin The Bir Zhen’s writing against works by two better- known male interlocutors of her time. The editors begin with a detailed analysis of He-Yin Zhen’s life and thought. They then present annotated translations of six of her major essays, as well as two foundational “The Birth of Chinese Feminism not only sheds light T on the unique vision of a remarkable turn-of- tracts by her male contemporaries, Jin h of Chinese the century radical thinker but also, in so Tianhe (1874–1947) and Liang Qichao doing, provides a fresh lens through which to (1873–1929), to which He-Yin’s work examine one of the most fascinating and com- responds and with which it engages.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Fairy Tales for Adults: Imagination, Literary Autonomy, and Modern Chinese Martial Arts Fiction, 1895-1945 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Asian Languages and Cultures by Lujing Ma Eisenman 2016 © Copyright by Lujing Ma Eisenman 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Fairy Tales for Adults: Imagination, Literary Autonomy, and Modern Chinese Martial Arts Fiction, 1895-1945 By Lujing Ma Eisenman Doctor of Philosophy in Asian Languages and Cultures University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Theodore D Huters, Chair This dissertation examines the emergence and development of modern Chinese martial arts fiction during the first half of the twentieth century and argues for the literary autonomy it manifested. It engages in the studies of modern Chinese literature and culture from three perspectives. First, approaching martial arts fiction as a literary subgenre, it partakes in the genre studies of martial arts fiction and through investigating major writers and their works explains how the genre was written, received, reflected, and innovated during the period in question. Second, positioning martial arts fiction as one of the most well received literary subgenre in the modern Chinese literary field, it discusses the “great divide” between “pure” and “popular” literatures and the question of how to evaluate popular literature in modern China. Through a series of textual analysis contextualized in the lineage of martial arts fiction, it offers insight into ii how the ideals of so-called “pure” and “popular” literatures were interwoven in the process of reviewing and re-creating the genre.

  • The Daoist Origins of Chinese Martial Arts in Taiji Quan Manuals Published in the West1
    The Daoist Origins of Chinese Martial Arts in Taiji quan Manuals Published in the West1 Dominic LaRochelle, Ph. D. Laval University, Quebec City, Canada Bio Dominic LaRochelle is a lecturer at the Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies of Laval University, Quebec City, Canada. His research focuses on the history of Chinese martial arts, their reception in Western societies, and their relation with religious traditions. He has been a practitioner of Chinese martial arts (wing chun, taiji quan, bagua zhang and xingyi quan) for more than 15 years. Abstract In Chinese martial arts circles, differences of interpretation concerning the origins of the art of taiji quan are not new. In fact, they are at the heart of a century-old debate that generally divides scholars and practitioners. Chinese myths and legends have been in great part adopted by Western practitioners. The aim of this article is to analyze how was construed in the second half of the 20th century a complex rhetoric trying to convince Western readers of taiji quan books that their practice has an ancient Daoist origin. Introduction In Chinese martial arts circles, differences of interpretation concerning the origins of the art of taiji quan are not new. In fact, they are at the heart of a century-old debate that generally divides scholars and practitioners along two lines. There are those who claim that taiji quan originates from Chenjiagou, a village in province of Henan controlled by a military family called Chen. As early as the 17th century, it is believed that some members of this family invented (or at least practiced), probably under the influence of existing martial arts practiced in 1 A shorter version of this article was previously published in the Journal of Chinese Martial Arts, Spring 2013, pp.

  • 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.

  • 8 La Nueva Ola China De Estudiosos De Las Artes Marciales Stanley E
    8 La nueva ola china de estudiosos de las artes marciales ◊ Stanley E. Henning La nueva ola china de estudiosos de las artes marciales Stanley E. Henning Introducción Se me ha pasado por la mente que la mayoría de lo que hoy se escribe sobre las artes marciales está orientado hacia el “cómo hacer” o a la “auto-exhibi- ción” y la competición deportiva, pero esta revista es la sobresaliente excep- ción a esta norma. Yo mismo he estu- diado y practicado artes marciales chi- nas, y durante el proceso caí en la cuenta de que había mucho más en este elemento de la cultura popular tan pro- fundamente enraizado y extensamente diseminado por toda la sociedad china. En consecuencia, comencé a estudiar más facetas de estas fascinantes artes, incluyendo su historia y entorno socio cultural y, lo que es lo mas gratificante de todo, he llegado a conocer a un pequeño número de personas en China a quienes distingo como representantes de una nueva ola de eruditos marciales, consagrados al estudio de las artes mar- ciales en sus diversas facetas, tanto físi- cas como intelectuales. Al tomar yo mismo este enfoque, debo mi agradeci- miento al Profesor Ma Mingda de la Universidad de Jinan en Guangzhou, a quien considero mi mentor (nos cono- cimos en 2001), quien destaca el con- cepto de “estudios marciales” en su Todas las fotografías son cortesía de libro Seeking The Facts in Martial Studies Stanley Henning, excepto la de esta [Buscando los hechos en los estudios página que es cortesía de marciales] (2003). iStockphoto.com.

  • Heritage Tai Chi & Kung Fu
    HERITAGE Tai Chi & Kung Fu The Soft Circle Method of Tai Chi GRANDMASTER LIU RUI INTERVIEW Interview of Liu Rui by Alex Yeo in T’ai Chi Magazine, October 2007 Alex Yeo: Thank you Master Liu for this interview. Could you give us a brief introduction to Zhaobao Taijiquan? Liu Rui: Zhaobao Taijiquan is an orthodox school of Taijiquan as created by Zhang Sanfeng. It was passed down to Jiang Fa (1574- 1654) of Zhao Bao town (located in Henan Province) by Wang Zongyue of Shangxi province. One of the better-known inheritors was Chen Qingping (1795- 1869). Chen had many disciples; among them was He Zhao Yuan (1811- 1891)(who created He Style Taijiquan). Zhaobao taijiquan has flourished into various schools [of Zhaobao Taijiquan] and among them, He style has become the main stream of Zhaobao Taijiquan. Zhaobao Taijiquan has the traditional characteristics of Wudang boxing. Although it has been hundreds of years since Zhang Sanfeng created Taijiquan, Zhaobao Taijiquan nothing the less still retained the special characteristics of the three arts [form, push hands, and martial applications] melted into one pot as created by Zhang Sanfeng [from which the name Three-Harmonized- in-One]. In the 1920’s my teacher Zheng Wuqing (1894- 1984) followed He Zhaoyuan’s grandson He Qing Xi (1862- 1936) and studied the Dai Li routine. I am Zheng Wuqing’s inner disciple and the 11th generation inheritor. For many generations Zhaobao Taijiquan had been kept strictly within the town. It was only in the time of the 10th generation that the art was taught to outsiders.
