The Web That Has No Weaver
THE WEB THAT HAS NO WEAVER Understanding Chinese Medicine “The Web That Has No Weaver opens the great door of understanding to the profoundness of Chinese medicine.” —People’s Daily, Beijing, China “The Web That Has No Weaver with its manifold merits … is a successful introduction to Chinese medicine. We recommend it to our colleagues in China.” —Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Chinese Medicine, Beijing, China “Ted Kaptchuk’s book [has] something for practically everyone . Kaptchuk, himself an extraordinary combination of elements, is a thinker whose writing is more accessible than that of Joseph Needham or Manfred Porkert with no less scholarship. There is more here to think about, chew over, ponder or reflect upon than you are liable to find elsewhere. This may sound like a rave review: it is.” —Journal of Traditional Acupuncture “The Web That Has No Weaver is an encyclopedia of how to tell from the Eastern perspective ‘what is wrong.’” —Larry Dossey, author of Space, Time, and Medicine “Valuable as a compendium of traditional Chinese medical doctrine.” —Joseph Needham, author of Science and Civilization in China “The only approximation for authenticity is The Barefoot Doctor’s Manual, and this will take readers much further.” —The Kirkus Reviews “Kaptchuk has become a lyricist for the art of healing. And the more he tells us about traditional Chinese medicine, the more clearly we see the link between philosophy, art, and the physician’s craft.” —Houston Chronicle “Ted Kaptchuk’s book was inspirational in the development of my acupuncture practice and gave me a deep understanding of traditional Chinese medicine. -

The Role of Qing 情 in the Huainanzi’s Ethics Matthew Duperon Susquehanna University The second-century BCE text Huainanzi purports to be an exhaustive compendium of all knowledge needed to successfully govern a vast, diverse empire like the one administrated by the early Han dynasty. As such, it addresses topics from a range of theoretical and applied fields like military theory, politics and the administration of government, economics, geography, ritual practice, and much more, all within the metaphysical framework of correlative cosmology in vogue at the time. In developing an overall program for how the Han empire should be administered, the Huainanzi authors take normative stances on these issues, and the text consequently includes a great deal of ethical content. The authors’ syncretic vision based in correlative cosmology provides the meta-ethical foundation upon which they build this ethical program. Thus, their program of ethical self-cultivation—how humans can move from a state of imperfection toward one of sagely perfection—partakes of the same theoretical framework that shapes the argument of the text as a whole. -

Øyvind Bjøru, University of Texas at Austin, and Na’ama Pat-El, The Univer- sity of Texas, Austin On the Historical Syntax of the Subordination Morpheme in Assyrian Akkadian Akkadian marks subordinated verbs with a special morpheme, Babylonian -u and Assyri-an -(¯u)ni; e.g., ˇsa ir-ra-ru ‘the one he curses’ (OB, Anzu, line 22). Semitists and Assyriologists have debated the origin of these morphemes in Akkadian in general and in Assyrian in particular (e.g., Kouwenberg 2010, Hasselbach 2012). In this paper we will concentrate on the syntax and distribution of the morpheme in Assyrian, where it is morphologically complex and its syntax differs significantly from Babylonian. We will argue that this morpheme becomes generalized in this dialect, shifting from being part of the Assyrian TAM markers with restricted distribution, to acquiring a purely syntactic function which is decoupled from the verbal paradigm. In Middle Assyrian, the morpheme is attested on all verbal and deverbal predicates, with no restriction, including with verbs carrying other suffixes, such as pronominal and ventive. The most interesting development, however, is attested in Neo-Assyrian, where the morpheme is used to mark the right-most edge of the subordinated sentence, no matter what element is located there, including pronominal subjects in nominal sentences; e.g., LU´ la ´u-da a-a-´uˇsu-tu-´u-ni ‘I don’t know who this man is’ (SAA 10, 280: r1-2). -

Inscriptional Records of the Western Zhou
INSCRIPTIONAL RECORDS OF THE WESTERN ZHOU Robert Eno Fall 2012 Note to Readers The translations in these pages cannot be considered scholarly. They were originally prepared in early 1988, under stringent time pressures, specifically for teaching use that term. Although I modified them sporadically between that time and 2012, my final year of teaching, their purpose as course materials, used in a week-long classroom exercise for undergraduate students in an early China history survey, did not warrant the type of robust academic apparatus that a scholarly edition would have required. Since no broad anthology of translations of bronze inscriptions was generally available, I have, since the late 1990s, made updated versions of this resource available online for use by teachers and students generally. As freely available materials, they may still be of use. However, as specialists have been aware all along, there are many imperfections in these translations, and I want to make sure that readers are aware that there is now a scholarly alternative, published last month: A Source Book of Ancient Chinese Bronze Inscriptions, edited by Constance Cook and Paul Goldin (Berkeley: Society for the Study of Early China, 2016). The “Source Book” includes translations of over one hundred inscriptions, prepared by ten contributors. I have chosen not to revise the materials here in light of this new resource, even in the case of a few items in the “Source Book” that were contributed by me, because a piecemeal revision seemed unhelpful, and I am now too distant from research on Western Zhou bronzes to undertake a more extensive one. -
Some Reflections Upon the Origins of Acupuncture
POINTS IN TIME: SOME REFLECTIONS UPON THE ORIGINS OF ACUPUNCTURE WARREN M. COCHRAN Over the last decade or so of my involvement in the traditional medicine of China, both as a practitioner and an educator, a frequently asked question from patients and students alike, focuses on the antiquity and early origins of the therapeutic technique known as acupuncture. Perhaps in the efforts to afford a greater respectability to this unique method of treating human affliction, earlier proponents of this ancient art may have invented a mythological past where incipient physicians in prehistoric Chinese societies used flint, stone, and bronze needles to administer acupuncture to ailing fellow citizens as long ago as five thousand years. Unfortunately however, there is no con- clusive evidence to substantiate this claim. Extant sources suggest instead that the medical technique termed acupuncture by the Dutch physician Willem ten Rhijne in 1683, may not be much over two thousand years old. I hasten to add that this conclusion does not of course, lessen the therapeutic importance of what appears to be the most recent of the traditional Chinese healing modalities. In this paper I propose to assess the validity of this evidence and consider the hypothesis that acupuncture evolved from notions of demonic medicine and was in turn, antedated by the therapeutic exigencies of bloodletting. The evidence to be reviewed will take the following forms: ( 1 ) Needles or needle-shaped instruments from archaeological sites in early China. ( 2 ) A stone tomb relief from the Later Han Period. ( 3 ) A purported acupuncture model from an early Han tomb. -
Maria Khayutina • [email protected] the Tombs
Maria Khayutina [email protected] The Tombs of Peng State and Related Questions Paper for the Chicago Bronze Workshop, November 3-7, 2010 (, 1.1.) () The discovery of the Western Zhou period’s Peng State in Heng River Valley in the south of Shanxi Province represents one of the most fascinating archaeological events of the last decade. Ruled by a lineage of Kui (Gui ) surname, Peng, supposedly, was founded by descendants of a group that, to a certain degree, retained autonomy from the Huaxia cultural and political community, dominated by lineages of Zi , Ji and Jiang surnames. Considering Peng’s location right to the south of one of the major Ji states, Jin , and quite close to the eastern residence of Zhou kings, Chengzhou , its case can be very instructive with regard to the construction of the geo-political and cultural space in Early China during the Western Zhou period. Although the publication of the full excavations’ report may take years, some preliminary observations can be made already now based on simplified archaeological reports about the tombs of Peng ruler Cheng and his spouse née Ji of Bi . In the present paper, I briefly introduce the tombs inventory and the inscriptions on the bronzes, and then proceed to discuss the following questions: - How the tombs M1 and M2 at Hengbei can be dated? - What does the equipment of the Hengbei tombs suggest about the cultural roots of Peng? - What can be observed about Peng’s relations to the Gui people and to other Kui/Gui- surnamed lineages? 1. General Information The cemetery of Peng state has been discovered near Hengbei village (Hengshui town, Jiang County, Shanxi ). -
The University of Chicago Practices of Scriptural Economy: Compiling and Copying a Seventh-Century Chinese Buddhist Anthology A
THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PRACTICES OF SCRIPTURAL ECONOMY: COMPILING AND COPYING A SEVENTH-CENTURY CHINESE BUDDHIST ANTHOLOGY A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE DIVINITY SCHOOL IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY ALEXANDER ONG HSU CHICAGO, ILLINOIS AUGUST 2018 © Copyright by Alexander Ong Hsu, 2018. All rights reserved. Dissertation Abstract: Practices of Scriptural Economy: Compiling and Copying a Seventh-Century Chinese Buddhist Anthology By Alexander Ong Hsu This dissertation reads a seventh-century Chinese Buddhist anthology to examine how medieval Chinese Buddhists practiced reducing and reorganizing their voluminous scriptural tra- dition into more useful formats. The anthology, A Grove of Pearls from the Garden of Dharma (Fayuan zhulin ), was compiled by a scholar-monk named Daoshi (?–683) from hundreds of Buddhist scriptures and other religious writings, listing thousands of quotations un- der a system of one-hundred category-chapters. This dissertation shows how A Grove of Pearls was designed by and for scriptural economy: it facilitated and was facilitated by traditions of categorizing, excerpting, and collecting units of scripture. Anthologies like A Grove of Pearls selectively copied the forms and contents of earlier Buddhist anthologies, catalogs, and other compilations; and, in turn, later Buddhists would selectively copy from it in order to spread the Buddhist dharma. I read anthologies not merely to describe their contents but to show what their compilers and copyists thought they were doing when they made and used them. A Grove of Pearls from the Garden of Dharma has often been read as an example of a Buddhist leishu , or “Chinese encyclopedia.” But the work’s precursors from the sixth cen- tury do not all fit neatly into this genre because they do not all use lei or categories consist- ently, nor do they all have encyclopedic breadth like A Grove of Pearls. -
SİMYA”DAN MODERN KİMYAYA GEÇİŞ Simyacılar, Aristo’Dan Esinlenip Yüzyıllarca Kurşunu Altına Çevirmeye Çalıştı
“SİMYA”DAN MODERN KİMYAYA GEÇİŞ Simyacılar, Aristo’dan esinlenip yüzyıllarca kurşunu altına çevirmeye çalıştı. Ayrıca Ab-ı Hayat denilen ölümsüzlük iksiri yapmayı hedeflediler. Aristo’nun Dört Elementi ve Simyanın Başlangıcı Simya kelimesi, Latince alchima kelimesinden, alchima ise Arapça el-kimia’dan türetilmiştir. El-kimia kelimesi de eski Mısır’ın adı olan ve kara toprak anlamını taşıyan “keme”den gelir. Sümerler M.Ö. 3500’lerde damıtma, ekstraksiyon, kristallendirme ve süblimasyon gibi kimyasal teknikleri keşfetmişti. Bu amaçlarla kullandıkları bazı cihazlar Irak ve ABD müzelerindedir. Büyük İskender, Mısır’ı fethettiğinde bu teknikler unutulmuştu. İskender’in hocası olan Aristo, evrendeki olayları deney ve gözlemlerle değil mantıkla açıklamayı tercih etmişti. Aristo’nun yazdığı kitaplar M.S. 1600’e kadar bilim dünyasını yanlış yönlendirdi. Evrendeki her şeyin hidrojen, helyum, oksijen veya karbon gibi çok sayıda elementten oluştuğu biliniyor. Aristo ise evrendeki nesnelerin dört ana maddeden oluştuğunu yazmıştı. Ona göre her şey toprak, hava, su ve ateşten oluşurdu. Ona göre odun ateşe atılınca çıkan duman gazı, su damlaları suyu, alevler ateşi ve kül de toprağı temsil ediyordu. Aristo, odunun yanınca ana elementlerine ayrıldığını söylüyor ve herkesi inandırıyordu. Aristo, cisimleri oluşturan dört ana maddenin miktarları, farklı cisimlerde farklı oranlarda olduğu için bazıları altın bazıları da kurşun olmuş derdi. Bu nedenle simyacılar, kurşunu altından farklı kılan eksik maddeyi ekleyip kurşunu altına çevirmeyi hedefledi. Zosimos’un kitabındaki damıtma cihazı İlk Simyacılar Bilinen ilk Çinli simyacı Wei Boyang’dır. M.S. 142’de yazdığı kitapta barutun formülünü ilk kez o açıkladı. İlk Mısırlı simyacı M.S. 300’lerde doğan Zosimos’tur. Bilinen ilk simya kitaplarını yazan Zosimos’un Yunanca yazdığı 1 eserler, Suriye ve Bizans’ta tercüme edildi. -
A Multimodal Study of Response Token Dui Dui Dui in Mandarin Conversation
University of Alberta A multimodal study of response token dui dui dui in Mandarin conversation by JIE YANG A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in East Asian Interdisciplinary Studies Department of East Asian Studies ©Jie Yang Fall 2013 Edmonton, Alberta Permission is hereby granted to the University of Alberta Libraries to reproduce single copies of this thesis and to lend or sell such copies for private, scholarly or scientific research purposes only.

Abstract This thesis investigates the response token dui dui dui (right right right) in Mandarin conversation from a multimodal perspective. Two types of dui dui dui are found in the data. The first type serves to display recipient’s affiliation with the speaker’s immediate previous assertion. The second type serves as a confirmation to the recipient’s collaborative completion of the speaker’s turn. The study aims to show how dui dui dui s are produced and interpreted by participants as two different actions in different sequential environments. In addition, it describes the prosodic form of each type of dui dui dui s and body movements accompanying the production of dui dui dui s. -
