Chinese mathematics of the time, Xu had argued in his prefaces and introductions, was in a state of decline, and all that remained of it was vulgar and corrupt. Western mathematics was in every way superior, he asserted, and in the end the loss of Chinese mathematics was no more re- grettable than discarding “tattered sandals.” Xu’s pronouncements have been so persuasive that they have, at least until recently, been accepted for the most part by historians—Chinese and Western alike—as fact. But as I studied the Chinese mathematics of the period, I became increasingly skeptical of Xu’s claims. The most interesting evidence against his claims was to be found in Chinese developments in linear algebra—arguably the most sophis- ticated and recognizably “modern” mathematics of this period in China. General solutions to systems of n linear equations in n unknowns had not been known in Europe at the time, and their importance was not lost on the Jesuits and their col- laborators. For they copied, without attribution, one by one, linear algebra prob- lems from the very Chinese mathematical treatises they had denounced as vulgar and corrupt. They then included the problems in a work titled Guide to Calcula- tion (Tong wen suan zhi , 1613), which they presented as a translation of German Jesuit Christopher Clavius’s (1538–1612) Epitome arithmeticae practicae (1583). Chinese readers of this “translation” had no way of knowing that none of these problems on linear algebra had been known in Europe at the time. I sought, then, to trace the specific Chinese sources from which the Jesuits and their collaborators had copied their problems. I was particularly interested in one problem, which I will call the “well problem,” in which the value assigned to the depth of a well is explained as resulting from the calculation 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 × 6 + 1. I was perplexed by this unexplained and apparently ad hoc calculation, and at first supposed that it was merely a numerological coincidence that multiplying the elements of the diagonal of a matrix together, and then adding one, would result in the value for the depth of the well. The Jesuits and their collaborators ix x Preface offered no explanation for this calculation, and indeed had evidently not noticed that an explanation might be necessary. The well problem had originated in the Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Arts (Jiuzhang suanshu ,c.1st cen- tury C.E.), the earliest transmitted text on Chinese mathematics. But in examin- ing the earliest extant version of the Nine Chapters, I found no mention of this perplexing calculation for finding the depth of the well. It was included, however, in a more popular text from the fifteenth century, Wu Jing’s (n.d.) Complete Compendium of Mathematical Arts of the Nine Chapters, with Detailed Commen- tary, Arranged by Category (Jiuzhang xiang zhu bilei suanfa da quan , preface dated 1450, printed in 1488). However, an explanation for this calculation was not to be found in Wu Jing’s Complete Compendium either. It happened, at that time, that I had been accorded the great privilege of spending a year at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. The Institute is a special place where one is encouraged to believe that something perplex- ing deserves serious inquiry. Such freedom, as I hope this book demonstrates, is essential to academic research: in any investigation, at each fork in the road, if one ignores what might be crucial evidence, one risks taking the wrong path, only, perhaps, to wind up further and further from the truth. The puzzle of the well problem proved to be one such crucial fork. For eventually, I noticed that the calculation I had stumbled upon was not merely numerological coincidence, but what we would call in modern terms the determinant of the matrix of coeffi- cients.1 This interested me. Not quite sure what I was looking for, or why, I began to look for general solutions to the well problem. After more than a little work, I found that the solutions to the problem could be found more easily by deter- minantal calculations than by the usual elimination procedures. What was more interesting still was the extraordinary symmetry of these solutions. And although determinantal solutions are impracticably difficult for matrices with 5 equations in 5 unknowns, it was only the symmetric placement of numerous zeros in the well problem that permitted a determinantal solution. Then I noticed something that would permanently change the way I looked at

  • Chinese Researches in the History of Science and Technology, 1982
    Chinese Science, 1983, 6: 59-83 CHINESE RESEARCHES IN THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, 1982 XI Zezong In China the number of organizations and publications in the history of science has been continuously increasing, as has the number of articles on that subject in every sort of publication devoted to the sciences and social sciences. In 1982 the number of articles published throughout the country exceeded seven hundred and fifty, an increase of one and a half times over 1981. I will survey the book and periodical literature under the following headings: 1. Discussions of the failure of modern science to develop independently in China 2. History of natural sciences 3. History of applied sciences 4. History of scientific thought 5. History of scientific organizations References and abbreviations are listed at the end of this essay. A few supplementary references have been provided in footnotes by the Editor. The Failure of Modern Science to Develop Independently in China In 1982 the first general history of Chinese science and technology, by Du Shiran and other members of the Institute for the History of Natural Science, Academia Sinica, was published in preliminary form by Science Press. Its ten chapters, in two volumes, discuss the beginnings of science, the formation of concepts from experience (to 770 B.C.), the foundations (770-221) and formation of a system of science (221-A.D. 220), its strengthening and enhancement (220- 581), its continued development (581-960), its zenith (960-1368), its slowed advance (1368 - 17th century), the first influx of Western science and technology (17th century - 1840), and modem science and technology (1840-1919).

  • The Chinese State in Ming Society
    The Chinese State in Ming Society The Ming dynasty (1368–1644), a period of commercial expansion and cultural innovation, fashioned the relationship between the present-day state and society in China. In this unique collection of reworked and illustrated essays, one of the leading scholars of Chinese history re-examines this relationship and argues that, contrary to previous scholarship, which emphasized the heavy hand of the state, it was radical responses within society to changes in commercial relations and social networks that led to a stable but dynamic “constitution” during the Ming dynasty. This imaginative reconsideration of existing scholarship also includes two essays first published here and a substantial introduction, and will be fascinating reading for scholars and students interested in China’s development. Timothy Book is Principal of St. John’s College, University of British Colombia. Critical Asian Scholarship Edited by Mark Selden, Binghamton and Cornell Universities, USA The series is intended to showcase the most important individual contributions to scholarship in Asian Studies.

    SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS Number 178 February, 2008 Soldierly Methods: Vade Mecum for an Iconoclastic Translation of Sun Zi bingfa by Victor H. Mair with a complete transcription and word-for-word glosses of the Manchu translation by H. T. Toh Victor H. Mair, Editor Sino-Platonic Papers Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6305 USA [email protected] www.sino-platonic.org SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series edited by Victor H. Mair. The purpose of the series is to make available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished. The editor actively encourages younger, not yet well established, scholars and independent authors to submit manuscripts for consideration. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including Romanized Modern Standard Mandarin (MSM) and Japanese, are acceptable. In special circumstances, papers written in one of the Sinitic topolects (fangyan) may be considered for publication. Although the chief focus of Sino-Platonic Papers is on the intercultural relations of China with other peoples, challenging and creative studies on a wide variety of philological subjects will be entertained. This series is not the place for safe, sober, and stodgy presentations. Sino-Platonic Papers prefers lively work that, while taking reasonable risks to advance the field, capitalizes on brilliant new insights into the development of civilization. The only style-sheet we honor is that of consistency. Where possible, we prefer the usages of the Journal of Asian Studies.

    On the Periphery of a Great “Empire”: Secondary Formation of States and Their Material Basis in the Shandong Peninsula during the Late Bronze Age, ca. 1000-500 B.C.E Minna Wu Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMIBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 @2013 Minna Wu All rights reserved ABSTRACT On the Periphery of a Great “Empire”: Secondary Formation of States and Their Material Basis in the Shandong Peninsula during the Late Bronze-Age, ca. 1000-500 B.C.E. Minna Wu The Shandong region has been of considerable interest to the study of ancient China due to its location in the eastern periphery of the central culture. For the Western Zhou state, Shandong was the “Far East” and it was a vast region of diverse landscape and complex cultural traditions during the Late Bronze-Age (1000-500 BCE). In this research, the developmental trajectories of three different types of secondary states are examined. The first type is the regional states established by the Zhou court; the second type is the indigenous Non-Zhou states with Dong Yi origins; the third type is the states that may have been formerly Shang polities and accepted Zhou rule after the Zhou conquest of Shang. On the one hand, this dissertation examines the dynamic social and cultural process in the eastern periphery in relation to the expansion and colonization of the Western Zhou state; on the other hand, it emphasizes the agency of the periphery during the formation of secondary states by examining how the polities in the periphery responded to the advances of the Western Zhou state and how local traditions impacted the composition of the local material assemblage which lay the foundation for the future prosperity of the regional culture.

  • Die „Vier Grossen Erfindungen“: Selbstzweifel Und Selbstbestätigung in Der Chinesischen Wissenschafts- Und Technikgeschichtsschreibung
    Chinesische Wissenschafts- und Technikgeschichtsschreibung DIE „VIER GROSSEN ERFINDUNGEN“: SELBSTZWEIFEL UND SELBSTBESTÄTIGUNG IN DER CHINESISCHEN WISSENSCHAFTS- UND TECHNIKGESCHICHTSSCHREIBUNG Iwo AMELUNG Jedem Chinesen sind die „vier großen Erfindungen“ (si da faming 四大發 明 ) bekannt. Sie sind fester Bestandteil von Lehrbüchern zur chinesischen Geschichte, finden sich auf Briefmarken und Telefonkarten, auf Werbe- broschüren für die Schönheit und Bedeutung bestimmter chinesischer Regionen. Museen sind Ihnen gewidmet, sie werden in patriotischen Gedichten gefeiert, und sie sind last but not least fester Bestandteil des politischen Diskurses. Wie die Große Mauer, der Kaiserkanal und vieles andere gehören sie in den Kanon des „kulturellen Erbes“ (wenhua yichan 文化遺產 ) Chinas; sie sind ein „Schatz der chinesischen Zivilisation“. Im Rahmen der durch den Staat und die Partei geförderten „patriotischen Erziehung“ (aiguozhuyi jiaoyu 愛國主義教育) haben die „vier großen Erfindungen“ eine klar umrissene Funktion: Sie sollen vor allem der Stärkung der Selbstachtung (zizun 自尊) und des Selbstvertrauens (zixin 自信 ) der chinesischen Nation dienen. Die vier Erfindungen, wie auch andere wissenschaftliche und technische Errungenschaften, sind nicht nur der Stolz der chinesischen Nation (Zhonghua minzu zhi jiaoao 中華民 族之驕傲 ), sondern sie haben auch einen „wesentlichen Beitrag zum Fortschritt der Menschheit“ geleistet (Qi, Zhenhai, Gan Baolu und Zhang Mingeng 1985: 35–36). Darüber hinaus hat die Berufung auf die „vier großen Erfindungen“ wie die gesamte Wissenschafts- und Technikge- schichtsschreibung das Ziel, den „vier Modernisierungen“ zu dienen und den „gefährlichen Geist des nationalen Nihilismus und der Selbsternied- rigung“, der besonders seit Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts angesichts der damals so erscheinenden Überlegenheit des Westens eingerissen war, zu bekämpfen (Song, Zhenghai 1990: 35–36). Die „vier großen Erfindungen“ haben ihren festen Platz in der politi- schen Rhetorik der Volksrepublik (VR) China.

  • A Study of Luo Yin's Writings of Slandering Shiwei Zhou a Thesis
    Understanding “Slandering”: A Study of Luo Yin’s Writings of Slandering Shiwei Zhou A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Washington 2020 Committee: Ping Wang William G. Boltz Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Asian Languages and Literature ©Copyright 2020 Shiwei Zhou 2 University of Washington Abstract Understanding “Slandering”: A Study of Luo Yin’s Writings of Slandering Shiwei Zhou Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Ping Wang Department of Asian Languages and Literature This thesis is an attempt to study a collection of fifty-eight short essays-Writings of Slandering- written and compiled by the late Tang scholar Luo Yin. The research questions are who are slandered, why are the targets slandered, and how. The answering of the questions will primarily rely on textual studies, accompanied by an exploration of the tradition of “slandering” in the literati’s world, as well as a look at Luo Yin’s career and experience as a persistent imperial exam taker. The project will advance accordingly: In the introduction, I will examine the concept of “slandering” in terms of how the Chinese literati associate themselves with it and the implications of slandering or being slandered. Also, I will try to explain how Luo Yin fits into the picture. Chapter two will focus on the studies of the historical background of the mid-to-late Tang period and the themes of the essays. Specifically, it will spell out the individuals, the group of people, and the political and social phenomenon slandered in the essays.
