    Rediscovering the Idea of Cultural Heritage and the Relationship with Nature: Four Schools of Essential Thought of the Ancient Han Chinese

    heritage Article Rediscovering the Idea of Cultural Heritage and the Relationship with Nature: Four Schools of Essential Thought of the Ancient Han Chinese Otto Chen * and Dawei Han Department of Civil Engineering, University of Bristol, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +44-117-903-5428 Received: 12 June 2019; Accepted: 28 June 2019; Published: 3 July 2019 Abstract: After a long-standing debate of pluralism in heritage conservation, the global practice has just started to broaden its view from material to people and even to nature, leading to the potential of a more comprehensive understanding and harmony between these spheres. Notwithstanding that the shift from material to people and then to nature seemingly looks like the only path in the modern heritage conservation movement to achieve the foregoing goals, in fact, there exist some regional cultures that originally featured particular views on human–nature harmony. This paper hence highlights the regional difference in heritage with a focus on China of ancient times, which unfolds the particular perspective emphasising the unity of human and nature. With a case study of Huaqing Palace of the Tang Dynasty (618–907 CE), the research is expected to be the first attempt to rediscover that the four schools of thought, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and I Ching, had jointly formed a “wisdom” system of the ancient Han Chinese in shaping the idea of cultural heritage, as well as the idea of heritage conservation, which were inherited by modern Chinese without knowing and recognising it. The paper, therefore, argues that without understanding and acknowledging the significance of the ancient Han Chinese’s particular view on nature and the universe formed by the four schools of thought behind the material, it is not likely to protect and promote comprehensively their heritage value, such that the importance of cultural diversity will be just rhetoric.

    Fragmentary Narration and Ambiguity in Heliodorus' Aethiopica

    What Charicles Knew: Fragmentary Narration and Ambiguity in Heliodorus’ Aethiopica BENEDEK KRUCHIÓ University of Cambridge Towards the end of the tenth and last book of Heliodorus’ Aethiopica, a character who was left behind by the protagonists in Delphi in Book Four makes a surpris- ing reappearance in Ethiopia: Charicles, the Greek foster-father of the heroine Charicleia, arrives in Meroe, where the royal couple reside, and demands his daughter back from king Hydaspes, who is her biological father. While Charicles’ resurfacing is in itself surprising,1 scholars have particularly been puzzled by the question what he knows about Charicleia when he enters the scene: when the girl and her lover Theagenes elope from Delphi, Charicles is aware of her Ethiopian background but not of her royal descent; however, according to the established reading of a short segment of the novel’s finale, he seems to know who her parents are when he brings forward his request. Heliodorean scholarship has heretofore contented itself with branding Cha- ricles’ differing states of knowledge as a striking inconsistency.2 I shall first show that this is not just in general an obviously unsatisfactory approach to a puzzling passage, but also highly unlikely to be an accurate explanation in the present case. My paper will proceed by presenting alternative solutions to this puzzle. The first one sticks to the conventional reading of the two abovementioned direct speeches, arguing firstly that the communicative line which results in Charicles’ acquisition of knowledge can be reconstructed, and secondly that certain narratological prop- erties of the Aethiopica invite the reader to make assumptions about unnarrated events like those which are necessary for explaining Charicles’ surprising state of ————— 1 According to Lowe 2003, 256, Charicles’ reappearance is ‘the novel’s final and most mas- terly programmed surprise’; cf.

  • The Royal Ancestry of Zephaniah

    The Royal Ancestry of Zephaniah

    7G THE ROYAL ANCESTRY OF ZEPHANIAH. IN discussing the genealogy of the prophet Zephaniah, Prof. G. A. Smith says, "Zephaniah's great-great-grand­ father Hezekiah was in all probability the king." 1 This is to state the case more strongly than has been usual, but not more strongly than is reasonable. I return to the subject because it is possible in one respect to strengthen Prof. Smith's argument, 2 and to maintain the probability of the royal ancestry of the prophet even in view of a less favourable chronology than that adopted by Prof. Smith. The present state of opinion on the subject may be briefly summarized thus: that the Hezekiah who, according to Zephaniah i. 1, was the great-great-grandfather of the prophet, was identical with the king of J udah of that name, seems to some 3 impossible or improbable, to many 4 at least possible and not improbable, to many 5 probable. There are several more or less weighty reasons for accepting the identification; there are no valid objections; for my main purpose in this note is to show that what is generally regarded as the most serious objection-the chronological-is invalid. It will be well first of all briefly to recapitulate the reasons for the identification. (1) The genealogy of Zephaniah is, quite exceptionally, carried back four generations. In the titles of the remaining prophetic writings we find either only the name of the prophet ; 6 or the names of the prophet 1 The Book of the 1'1celt•e Prophets, ii.
  • From Jindo to Shinto a Concept Takes Shape

    From Jindo to Shinto a Concept Takes Shape

    Japanese Journal of Religious Studies 2002 29/3-4 From Jindo to Shinto A Concept Takes Shape M ark T eeuw en This article traces the origin and development of the term Shinto. This word was created from an earlier Buddhist term “jindd, ” which was used in, for example, the Nihon shoki as a collective noun referring to “the realm of the (non-Buddhist) deities. ” The form “shintd ” occurred first in the context of esoteric initiations into kami knowledge, probably in the fourteenth century. The article explores how the older term jindd was given a new meaning and a new reading in a discourse that drew both on hon- gaku ideas and Yin-Yang cosmology. It argues that, in contrast to the older jindd, the neologism sninto functioned as a “concept” as defined by Reinhart Koselleck, in the sense that it had a clear historical impact as both a factor and an indicator of historical change. It is only when we are aware of the formative processes that fostered this new concept that we can understand such central Shinto themes as primeval purity and imperial spirituality. Keywords: Shinto ——kami — honji suijaku ——hongaku — \ln-Yang- — emperor — conceptual history In the introduction to this issue, Bernhard Scheid and I argue that for historiographical purposes, “Sninto” should be reserved as “a col­ lective term for various attempts made in different historical periods to unify kami practices and beliefs.” In this sense, shin to is not some- thine that has “existed” in Japanese society in some concrete and definable form during different historical periods; rather, it appears as a conceptualization, an abstraction that has had to be produced actively every time it has been used.

Her Soul is white. She came to us as a very small child when her mother was our cook. In this day one would call her a “Kitchen Maid.” At the time she came to us the other servants spoke of her as “Nellie,” she helps wash the “deeshes.” Later on my Mother trained her as her own per¬ sonal maid and Nellie was taught to do everything. My Mother, of course, had in mind Nellie’s future life, which Nellie graphically explains to everyone, “Mis Daingerfield, she taught me all I knows.” Nellie has never lived with any other than my Daingerfields and is the one I love first.
