  • Warriors As the Feminised Other
    Warriors as the Feminised Other The study of male heroes in Chinese action cinema from 2000 to 2009 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chinese Studies at the University of Canterbury by Yunxiang Chen University of Canterbury 2011 i Abstract ―Flowery boys‖ (花样少年) – when this phrase is applied to attractive young men it is now often considered as a compliment. This research sets out to study the feminisation phenomena in the representation of warriors in Chinese language films from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China made in the first decade of the new millennium (2000-2009), as these three regions are now often packaged together as a pan-unity of the Chinese cultural realm. The foci of this study are on the investigations of the warriors as the feminised Other from two aspects: their bodies as spectacles and the manifestation of feminine characteristics in the male warriors. This study aims to detect what lies underneath the beautiful masquerade of the warriors as the Other through comprehensive analyses of the representations of feminised warriors and comparison with their female counterparts. It aims to test the hypothesis that gender identities are inventory categories transformed by and with changing historical context. Simultaneously, it is a project to study how Chinese traditional values and postmodern metrosexual culture interacted to formulate Chinese contemporary masculinity. It is also a project to search for a cultural nationalism presented in these films with the examination of gender politics hidden in these feminisation phenomena. With Laura Mulvey‘s theory of the gaze as a starting point, this research reconsiders the power relationship between the viewing subject and the spectacle to study the possibility of multiple gaze as well as the power of spectacle.

  • GES1005/SSA1208 Temple Visit Report Bao Gong Temple
    GES1005/SSA1208 Temple Visit Report Bao Gong Temple 包公庙 Yuan Yongqing Janice Ng Su Li Li Peng Bei Ding ZhongNi Tutorial Group: D1 App Profile ID:224 1. Introduction Our group was assigned to visit Bao Gong Temple, which is part of the Jalan Kayu Joint Temple located at 70 Sengkang West Avenue. Despite the small scale, it is regarded as a holy place by numerous worshippers and it is the only temple named after Bao Gong among all the Singapore temples consecrating him. The Bao Gong Temple Council have dedicated considerable efforts to public welfare which attracted more devotees. They even supervised a publication of The Book for the Treasures of Singapore Bao Gong Temple (《新加坡包公庙典藏书》) in 2015 to further spread Bao Gong culture and to document the history of the temple. A free PDF version can be found on the temple website https://www.singaporebaogongtemple.com. We would like to express our gratitude here to the Chief of general affairs, Master Chen Yucheng (H/P: 82288478) for his generous help throughout our visit. 2. The Folk Belief in Bao Gong The belief of Bao Gong was derived from the folklores of Bao Zheng (999-1062). Born in Hefei, Bao Zheng started rendering government service in 1037 and gained continuous promotion from the then highest ruler, Emperor Renzong of Song in the next 26 years. Among all his political achievements, he was most well-known for the impartial adjudication when he served as the mayor of Kaifeng (the capital of Northern Song). Remediating corruption and impeaching guilty nobles, Bao Zheng always upheld the interests of the masses, was loyal to the nation and disciplined himself.

  • Lessons from Justice Bao Zheng: Hong Kong’S Judicial Independence Would Benefit China and the World
    195 HONG KONG-CHINA RELATIONS TOH HAN SHIH Independent Scholar Lessons from Justice Bao Zheng: Hong Kong’s Judicial Independence Would Benefit China and the World As pro-China entities are exerting increasing pressure on the Hong Kong judicial system, it is worth remembering a judge who lived about one thousand years ago during the period of the Northern Song dynasty. Justice Bao Zheng was known for his honesty, and he has an important message for present-day China. ately, Hong Kong judges have taken flak from some pro-Beijing figures resident in the city who have accused the judges of not L being patriotic enough to their motherland. Rightly or wrongly, these attacks on the judiciary of China’s freest city have raised fears that Hong Kong’s rule of law is being undermined since Beijing imposed the controversial National Security Law in Hong Kong on June 30, 2020. RISING ASIA JOURNAL. VOLUME 1, ISSUE 2 (SUMMER) MAY TO AUGUST 2021. © RISING ASIA FOUNDATION 2021. Lessons from Justice Bao Zheng 196 If Hong Kong’s judicial independence continues to be upheld, it will benefit China and even the world, as some countries are getting increasingly uneasy with China’s growing international clout. Moreover, the notion of judicial independence harkens back to a Chinese judge who lived one thousand years ago and remains venerated among Chinese around the world today. Pressure on Lawyers Chinese government agencies and pro-Beijing figures in Hong Kong have been pressuring lawyers who are perceived as not patriotic enough. One target is the Hong Kong Bar Association, which has been vocal in criticizing both the National Security Law, and Paul Harris, who has been the association’s chairman since January 21, 2021.On February 11, the South China Morning Post, Hong Kong’s main English- language newspaper, ran an article demonstrating that pressure was mounting on the Bar Association’s governing council to decide whether Harris should remain as its chairman after it was reported he is a member of the British Liberal Democratic party.

  • War, Politics and Society Inearly Modern China, 900-1795
    War, Politics and Society in Early Modern China, 900–1795 In this new take on China’s early modern history, Peter Lorge presents a fresh overview of the repeated recreation of the Chinese empire through military force. Emphasizing the relationship between the military and politics, and China’s power as an empire, Lorge argues that the strength of the territorial claims and political impact of each dynasty were determined primarily by their military capacity rather than by their cultural characteristics. Using a chronological narrative, War, Politics and Society in Early Modern China, 900–1795 breaks free of the dynastic boundaries that shape much scholarship in this area, focusing instead on the growing power of local elites. This power eventually led to a system of loose central control – to the sacrifice of real, centralized power over local affairs. Ideal for students of military and Asian studies, War, Politics and Society in Early Modern China, 900–1795 is essential reading for anyone interested in the military history of China. Peter Lorge is Senior Lecturer in Chinese History and Film at Vanderbilt University.

    State and Mutiny in the Northern Song, 1000-1050 Peyton H. Canary A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Patricia B. Ebrey, Chair R. Kent Guy Mary R. O’Neil Program Authorized to Offer Degree: History © Copyright 2017 Peyton H. Canary University of Washington Abstract State and Mutiny in the Northern Song, 1000-1050 Peyton H. Canary Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Patricia B. Ebrey History This dissertation uses the Northern Song state’s response to mutinies as a prism through which to view different aspects of the government’s response to crisis. To this end, I focus on the suppression of five mutinies in the first half of the eleventh century, a time when the Song government was stable and the army posed little threat to the central government. I look closely at how officials and the emperor understood mutinies and the proposals officials made to suppress them in order to learn more about the nature of Song governance. Through an investigation of the individuals sent to direct and oversee campaigns against the mutineers, I show the qualities the court sought in men sent to put down unrest. In addition, I seek to understand how the physical and human geographies of the regions where mutinies broke out shaped the government’s actions. When sizing up the resources of the Song state and the mutineers, both in terms of people and wealth, it is clear that the Song held an overwhelming advantage. However, the mutineers often took steps which challenged the Song’s legitimacy, forcing the dynasty to react in kind by denouncing them.
