Gift-giving is one of the things that stand at the center of social relationships across many cultures. “The gift imposes an identity upon the giver as well as the receiver.”1 It is both productive of social relationships and affirms them; it establishes and clarifies social status, displays power, strengthens alliances, and creates debt and obligations. This was particularly true in the chaotic period following the collapse of the Han empire at the turn of the third century, often referred to by the reign title of the last Han emperor as the Jian’an 建安 era (196-220). -
International Seminar on Silk Roads: Roads of Dialogue
INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR ON SILK ROADS: ROADS OF DIALOGUE MALACCA, MALAYSIA 4th January 1991 Organized by: Ministry of Culture, Arts and Tourism, Malaysia National University of Malaysia Ministry of Education, Malaysia Chief Minister Department. Malacca With the Cooperation of: 1 Recent Studies in China on Admiral Zheng He's Navigation Liu Yingsheng Nanjing University, China At the end of 15th century great Portuguese sailor Vasco Da Gama returned to Europe from India. In the history of navigation, the Portuguese discovery is the very beginning of the new era. But before the Portuguese came to the east the Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean had already been a busy commercial region for a long time. Ships of China, Southeast Asia, Sub- continent, West Asia and East Africa had kept on coming and going from east to west and from west to east. Admiral Zheng He and his fleets’ navigation in the West Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean in the early 15th century is one of greatest achievements in the history of Chinese navigation activities. In the period from the 3rd year of Yong Le 永乐 (1405) to the 8th year of Xuan De 宣 德 (1433) Zheng He sailed 7 times to Southeast Asia and in the Indian Ocean. His fleet was the biggest in the world at that time. It consisted of more than 200 ships and more than 27,800 sailors and soldiers. The study on Zheng He's navigation activity was begun at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty when Zhang Tingyu 张廷玉 and his colleagues compiled the biography of Zheng He of the Ming Shi in the 17th century. -
ABSTRACT Title of Document: the ANTI-CONFUCIAN CAMPAIGN
ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE ANTI-CONFUCIAN CAMPAIGN DURING THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION, AUGUST 1966-JANUARY 1967 Zehao Zhou, Doctor of Philosophy, 2011 Directed By: Professor James Gao, Department of History This dissertation examines the attacks on the Three Kong Sites (Confucius Temple, Confucius Mansion, Confucius Cemetery) in Confucius’s birthplace Qufu, Shandong Province at the start of the Cultural Revolution. During the height of the campaign against the Four Olds in August 1966, Qufu’s local Red Guards attempted to raid the Three Kong Sites but failed. In November 1966, Beijing Red Guards came to Qufu and succeeded in attacking the Three Kong Sites and leveling Confucius’s tomb. In January 1967, Qufu peasants thoroughly plundered the Confucius Cemetery for buried treasures. This case study takes into consideration all related participants and circumstances and explores the complicated events that interwove dictatorship with anarchy, physical violence with ideological abuse, party conspiracy with mass mobilization, cultural destruction with revolutionary indo ctrination, ideological vandalism with acquisitive vandalism, and state violence with popular violence. This study argues that the violence against the Three Kong Sites was not a typical episode of the campaign against the Four Olds with outside Red Guards as the principal actors but a complex process involving multiple players, intraparty strife, Red Guard factionalism, bureaucratic plight, peasant opportunism, social ecology, and ever- evolving state-society relations. This study also maintains that Qufu locals’ initial protection of the Three Kong Sites and resistance to the Red Guards were driven more by their bureaucratic obligations and self-interest rather than by their pride in their cultural heritage. -

The Genesis of Youth Services in Public Libraries in China, 1912-1937
THE GENESIS OF YOUTH SERVICES IN PUBLIC LIBRARIES IN CHINA, 1912-1937 BY YANG LUO DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Library and Information Science in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Carol Tilley, Chair Professor Christine Jenkins Professor Kathryn La Barre Professor Dan Shao Abstract For thousands of years, libraries in China were treated as book repositories and remained closed to the public. It was not until the end of Imperial China and the establishment of a Republican China (1911) that the first public libraries became available. The Republic of China Era (1912-1949) witnessed various changes, including: an increased literacy level among the general public, the advent of modern school systems, the development of modern public libraries, the discovery of childhood, the growth of child welfare, and the flourishing of children’s literature. Youth services at public libraries in China emerged in this environment. Since 1909, pioneering librarians began to address the needs of children in professional settings by introducing Western youth service models and discussing how to establish, organize, and operate a children’s library in China. The first children’s reading rooms were founded in public libraries in the late 1910s, which predated the other elements of youth services librarianship. In response to the publication peak of children’s reading materials since the 1920s, librarians set standards for book selection and built library collections to meet children’s reading interests and needs. Moreover, children’s libraries gradually developed group methods to connect children with texts. -
