Origin Narratives: Reading and Reverence in Late-Ming China
Origin Narratives: Reading and Reverence in Late-Ming China Noga Ganany Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Noga Ganany All rights reserved ABSTRACT Origin Narratives: Reading and Reverence in Late Ming China Noga Ganany In this dissertation, I examine a genre of commercially-published, illustrated hagiographical books. Recounting the life stories of some of China’s most beloved cultural icons, from Confucius to Guanyin, I term these hagiographical books “origin narratives” (chushen zhuan 出身傳). Weaving a plethora of legends and ritual traditions into the new “vernacular” xiaoshuo format, origin narratives offered comprehensive portrayals of gods, sages, and immortals in narrative form, and were marketed to a general, lay readership. Their narratives were often accompanied by additional materials (or “paratexts”), such as worship manuals, advertisements for temples, and messages from the gods themselves, that reveal the intimate connection of these books to contemporaneous cultic reverence of their protagonists. The content and composition of origin narratives reflect the extensive range of possibilities of late-Ming xiaoshuo narrative writing, challenging our understanding of reading. I argue that origin narratives functioned as entertaining and informative encyclopedic sourcebooks that consolidated all knowledge about their protagonists, from their hagiographies to their ritual traditions. Origin narratives also alert us to the hagiographical substrate in late-imperial literature and religious practice, wherein widely-revered figures played multiple roles in the culture. The reverence of these cultural icons was constructed through the relationship between what I call the Three Ps: their personas (and life stories), the practices surrounding their lore, and the places associated with them (or “sacred geographies”). -
Gushan: the Formation of a Chan Lineage During the Seventeenth Century and Its Spread to Taiwan
Gushan: the Formation of a Chan Lineage During the Seventeenth Century and Its Spread to Taiwan Hsuan-Li Wang Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Hsuan-Li Wang All rights reserved ABSTRACT Gushan: the Formation of a Chan Lineage During the Seventeenth Century and Its Spread to Taiwan Hsuan-Li Wang Taking Gushan 鼓山 Monastery in Fujian Province as a reference point, this dissertation investigates the formation of the Gushan Chan lineage in Fujian area and its later diffusion process to Taiwan. From the perspective of religion diffusion studies, this dissertation investigates the three stages of this process: 1. the displacement of Caodong 曹洞 Chan center to Fujian in the seventeenth century; 2. Chinese migration bringing Buddhism to Taiwan in the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) and 3. the expansion diffusion activities of the institutions and masters affiliated with this lineage in Taiwan during the Japanese rule (1895-1945), and the new developments of humanistic Buddhism (renjian fojiao 人間佛教) after 1949. In this spreading process of the Gushan Chan lineage, Taiwanese Buddhism has emerged as the bridge between Chinese and Japanese Buddhism because of its unique historical experiences. It is in the expansion diffusion activities of the Gushan Chan lineage in Taiwan that Taiwanese Buddhism has gradually attained autonomy during the Japanese rule, leading to post-war new developments in contemporary humanistic Buddhism.

Exkurs 4: Erster Beamtendienst (S014) Bald Nach Dem
Alex Angehrn, 9402 Mörschwil, www.sansui-angehrn.ch 13 Exkurs 4: Erster Beamtendienst (S014) Bald nach dem Ende von Wang Dun's Rebellion, vermutlich etwa im Jahr 325, trat Wang Xizhi mit der Empfehlung von Wang Bin 王彬 (278-336) und Chi Jian, erstmals im Rang eines Sekretärs den Staatsdienst an. Die Sekretäre waren der Sekretariatsbehörde unterstellt und diese angenehme Tätigkeit im Palast bestand darin, die regierungseigenen Schriften und Bücher zu überarbeiten und auch die Bücher des Kaiserhofs zu verwalten. Die meisten Jungen von Adelsfamilien wurden zuerst Sekretariatsbeamte und dank dieses Postens konnten sie dann eine eigene Familie aufbauen. Dies war also auch ein Zeichen dafür, dass jemand von erstklassiger Familie war. Die Schriften der West-Jin-Dynastie waren zerstreut und die in Nanking gesammelten Schriften und Bücher waren zweifellos nicht zahlreich. Wang Xizhi's Dienst als Sekretär war nicht besonders anstren- gend und er dürfte eine friedliche Zeit verbracht haben. Wang Xizhi hatte damals freien Zugang zu den bei Behörden und Regierung aufbewahrten Schriften von hochrangigen Personen, wie Werken von Zhong Yao 鍾繇 (151-230) und Zhang Zhi 張芝 , Suo Jing 索靖 (239-303) und Huang Jiang 皇象 , also eine sehr förderliche Umgebung. Im Jahr 327 machte die Regierung den späteren Kaiser Jianwen zum Prinzen von Kuaiji 会稽 (Zhejiang). Damals waren gewöhnlich in der Nähe der Prinzen Armeekommandanten, Freunde und Gelehrte, und Wang Xizhi wurde vom Sekretär zum Begleiter des Prinzen von Kuaiji. Das war ein friedlicher Posten, zu dem es auch gehörte, an einem lustigen Trinkgelage im Prinzen- palast die Gäste zu treffen oder zusammen mit dem jungen Prinzen zu lesen. -

Ancient Chinese People's Knowledge of Macrofungi During the Period
Indian Journal of History of Science, 47.1 (2012) 1-35 ANCIENT CHINESE PEOPLE’S KNOWLEDGE OF MACROFUNGI DURING THE PERIOD FROM 220 AD TO 589 AD LU DI* (Received 4 July 2011) The paper attempts to explore the knowledge of macrofungi in ancient Chinese works during the period from 220 AD to 589 AD. The meanings of the ancient Chinese characters or words on macrofungi, its naturalistic descriptions, earliest record of the cultivation, custom of eating macrofungi in Taiwan Island, the methods of cooking macrofungi dishes, the macrofungi in literature and Taoist texts, are analyzed in the process. Two earliest records about macrofungi in this period are the record of cultivating Fu Ling (Wolfiporia cocos) and practice of eating monkey head mushroom (Hericium erinaceus) in Taiwan Island. Two Taoist monographs are no less important in terms of scientific value and to unveil the right significance of the Zhi in Taoist literature which has become a symbol representing supernatural effects such as immortality with no reference to the species of the Ganoderma genus. Moreover, the evolvement of Ling Zhi (Ganoderma lucidum) in its final form indicates that macrofungi began to receive more attention in this period. The macrofungi in literature are not only glorified by the poets but also borrowed by them to represent virtues. Key words: Ancient China, Fu Ling, History of science, Macrofungi, Taoism, Zhi 1. INTRODUCTION Macrofungi play an important role in human life both in the West and the East. And the history of macrofungi is long and rich. In the West, written records about them date back to the period of ancient Greece.
