  • A Comparative Analysis of the Simplification of Chinese Characters in Japan and China
    CONTRASTING APPROACHES TO CHINESE CHARACTER REFORM: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE SIMPLIFICATION OF CHINESE CHARACTERS IN JAPAN AND CHINA A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN ASIAN STUDIES AUGUST 2012 By Kei Imafuku Thesis Committee: Alexander Vovin, Chairperson Robert Huey Dina Rudolph Yoshimi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express deep gratitude to Alexander Vovin, Robert Huey, and Dina R. Yoshimi for their Japanese and Chinese expertise and kind encouragement throughout the writing of this thesis. Their guidance, as well as the support of the Center for Japanese Studies, School of Pacific and Asian Studies, and the East-West Center, has been invaluable. i ABSTRACT Due to the complexity and number of Chinese characters used in Chinese and Japanese, some characters were the target of simplification reforms. However, Japanese and Chinese simplifications frequently differed, resulting in the existence of multiple forms of the same character being used in different places. This study investigates the differences between the Japanese and Chinese simplifications and the effects of the simplification techniques implemented by each side. The more conservative Japanese simplifications were achieved by instating simpler historical character variants while the more radical Chinese simplifications were achieved primarily through the use of whole cursive script forms and phonetic simplification techniques. These techniques, however, have been criticized for their detrimental effects on character recognition, semantic and phonetic clarity, and consistency – issues less present with the Japanese approach. By comparing the Japanese and Chinese simplification techniques, this study seeks to determine the characteristics of more effective, less controversial Chinese character simplifications.

  • Noah's Ark Hidden in the Ancient Chinese Characters
    Papers Noah’s Ark hidden in the ancient Chinese characters — Voo, Sheeley & Hovee from chapters six to nine.4 The Chinese also have a similar Noah’s Ark story. Notably, a great flood that occurred as a result of the rebellion of a group of people during the legendary period hidden in the (about 2500 BC). In the text of Huai Nan Zi (南子, written in 200 BC),5 legend states that in ancient times, the poles (north, south, east and west) that supported the roof of the ancient Chinese world were broken. As a result, the heavens were broken and the nine states of China experienced continental shift characters and split. Fire broke out and the water from the heavens could not be stopped, causing a flood. Shu Jing (書經, writ- Kui Shin Voo, Rich Sheeley and Larry ten 1000 BC) relates how there was grieving and mourning Hovee all over the earth, and also describes the extent of the flood; how the water reached the sky, and flooded the mountains Legends from ancient China describe a global cata- and drowned all living things.

  • Names of Chinese People in Singapore
    101 Lodz Papers in Pragmatics 7.1 (2011): 101-133 DOI: 10.2478/v10016-011-0005-6 Lee Cher Leng Department of Chinese Studies, National University of Singapore ETHNOGRAPHY OF SINGAPORE CHINESE NAMES: RACE, RELIGION, AND REPRESENTATION Abstract Singapore Chinese is part of the Chinese Diaspora.This research shows how Singapore Chinese names reflect the Chinese naming tradition of surnames and generation names, as well as Straits Chinese influence. The names also reflect the beliefs and religion of Singapore Chinese. More significantly, a change of identity and representation is reflected in the names of earlier settlers and Singapore Chinese today. This paper aims to show the general naming traditions of Chinese in Singapore as well as a change in ideology and trends due to globalization. Keywords Singapore, Chinese, names, identity, beliefs, globalization. 1. Introduction When parents choose a name for a child, the name necessarily reflects their thoughts and aspirations with regards to the child. These thoughts and aspirations are shaped by the historical, social, cultural or spiritual setting of the time and place they are living in whether or not they are aware of them. Thus, the study of names is an important window through which one could view how these parents prefer their children to be perceived by society at large, according to the identities, roles, values, hierarchies or expectations constructed within a social space. Goodenough explains this culturally driven context of names and naming practices: Department of Chinese Studies, National University of Singapore The Shaw Foundation Building, Block AS7, Level 5 5 Arts Link, Singapore 117570 e-mail: [email protected] 102 Lee Cher Leng Ethnography of Singapore Chinese Names: Race, Religion, and Representation Different naming and address customs necessarily select different things about the self for communication and consequent emphasis.

  • Study on the Criminal System in Qin and Han Dynasties and Its Historical Influence
    2020 International Conference on Economics, Education and Social Research (ICEESR 2020) Study on the Criminal System in Qin and Han Dynasties and Its Historical Influence Jingxian Zhao1, Xiaodan Sun2 1 Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, School of Foreign Languages, Beijing, China 2 Hebei University of Economics and Business, School of Law, Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China Keywords: Criminal system, Historical influence, Inheritance and development Abstract: In the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen's penal reform mainly included the abolition of the child-bearing system, the abolition of corporal punishment, and the fixed sentence. These reforms changed the prison system of the Qin Dynasty, which were mainly manifested in the order of prisoners, family structure and property. The Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties continued to reform penalties, with increasingly lenient penalties, the abolition of imperial punishment, and the reduction in the scope of confinement. The prisoners were free from physical punishment in the true sense and the probability of family members being implicated was reduced. The reform of the prison system in the Qin and Han Dynasties had a positive historical impact. 1. Introduction The Qin and Han Dynasties were the initial development stage of Chinese law in the imperial era, and Emperor Wen's penalty reform was an important turning point in the history of Chinese legal system. The two reforms of removing corporal punishment and “exempt for years” freed prisoners from corporal punishment, fixed the sentence, and changed the order of prisoners accordingly. The abolition of the system of childbirth led to certain changes in the family structure and property of prisoners.

It was validated with the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS). Results show that the proportion who self-reported as Chinese has high agreement with the proportion identified by the surname list in the CCHS. The surname list was applied to the Alberta Health Insurance Plan registry database to define the Chinese ethnic population, and to the Vital Statistics Death Registry to assess the Chinese ethnic population mortality in Alberta.

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.
