Seit ca. 3 Jahren lerne ich hobbym¨aßig chinesisch. Ich wurde¨ mein Level auf knapp unter B“ setzen bzw. HSK 3 ” oder HSK 4. Ich interessiere mich fur¨ Sport, Kunst, Technik, Natur und auch Essen. Von all diesen Dingen kann man in China mehr als genugend¨ erleben. Doch ich m¨ochte Ihnen uber¨ meine Reise nach Shanghai berichten. Diese Metropole, an der Mundung¨ des Jangtsekiang 长江, ist eine Industriestadt, die einem gr¨oßtenteils doch sehr westlich vorkommt. Shanghai ist riesig. Jedoch war ich uberrascht,¨ dass es uberall¨ kleine angelegt Parks, Grunanlagen¨ und Flecken zum Erholen gibt. Haltet euch vor Augen, dass Shanghai mit einer Fl¨ache von 6340, 5km2 gr¨oßer als das Saarland (2569, 69km2) ist und mit uber¨ 23Mio. Einwohnern fast 1/4 der gesamten Bev¨olkerung in Deutschland (82.5Mio.) ausmacht. Abb. 1.1: Bild von Zhu Da (朱耷) *1625 - †1705 - Qing Dynastie 1 KAPITEL 1. EINFUHRUNG¨ 1.2 Motivation Vor ca. 2 Jahren, am Anfang meines Masterstudiums, habe ich mir bereits vorgenommen mein Praxissemester im Ausland zu absolvieren. Ggf. gilt es dies zun¨achst in eurer Prufungsordnung¨ nachzulesen. Ein Praxissemester mei- nes Studienganges ist innerhalb Deutschlands nur bei einem Unternehmen m¨oglich. Im Ausland jedoch auch an einer Universit¨at. Sp¨ater fuhrte¨ es auch zu einiger Verwirrung meinerseits, da die Begrifflichkeiten nicht ganz klar wur- den. Ich habe in Hannover stets die Ohren offen gehalten um herauszufinden welche Institute eine Kooperation mit China etablieren. Durch Zufall habe ich dann im zweiten Semester einen Professor kennengelernt, welcher sogar pers¨onliche Kontakte nach Shanghai an die Tongji Universit¨at hat. Relativ problemlos konnte ich ihn fur¨ meine Anfrage gewinnen. Nach kurzer Zeit hatte ich somit eine Kontaktperson (Professor und Leiter einer Forschungsgruppe in Shang- hai) und die andere Kontaktperson an der Uni Hannover. Es handelt sich um Professor Beer des Institutes fur¨ Risiko und Zuverl¨assigkeit an der Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Universit¨at 2 in Hannover und Professor Chen Jianbing (建 兵 陈) vom Institute of Modern Concrete Structure and Lifeline Engineering des College of Civil Engineering3. Die Voraussetzung Professor Beers waren, dass ich mindestens ein Modul in dem entsprechenden Fachbereich erfolgreich bestehe. Da alle diese Module auf Englisch sind, hat er auch somit die zweite Anforderung (solides Englisch) damit abgedeckt. In Hannover gibt es sehr viele chinesische Studenten und in meinem Freundeskreis befinden sich einige. Leider ist mein Chinesisch zu schlecht und ich hatte aus diesem Grund tats¨achlich auch die Motivation mein Chinesisch vor Ort zu verbessern und mehr uber¨ die Kultur zu erfahren. Die chinesische Kunst, Kultur und Geschichte kenne ich meist nur aus Filmen, Buchern¨ oder Berichten aus dem Internet. Das chinesische Volk kann auf eine identifikationswurdige¨ Geschichte zuruckblicken,¨ welche bereits um 220v. Chr. mit dem ersten Kaiser von China Qin (秦朝) begann. Manchmal versuche ich es mir so zu verdeutlichen und vorzustellen, dass es damit zu vergleichen w¨are, als wurde¨ das R¨omische Reich bis heute noch existieren. Naturlich¨ haben sich die Machthaber und politischen Systeme im Laufe der Zeit ge¨andert, wie auf allen anderen Kontinenten. Aber der Begriff des Rei- ches der Mitte und der damit einhergehende Gedanke an ein geeintes Reich in Ostasien ist tats¨achlich schon so alt und bis heute gefestigt. Im n¨achsten Kapitel versuche ich chronologisch zu erz¨ahlen welche Schrit- te ich abarbeiten musste um nach China zu kommen. 1 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MET_DP154500.jpg 2 https://www.irz.uni-hannover.de/ 3 http://civileng.tongji.edu.cn/en/ 2 2 Vorbereitungen Nachdem ich nun quasi den fachlichen Rahmen geschaffen hatte sowie inof- fiziell die M¨oglichkeit durch meine Kontakte erhielt, galt es das ganze auch offiziell zu machen. Das wichtigste Dokument wird zun¨achst der gultige¨ Reisepass sein, den Ihr entsprechend Euren Aufenthaltes m¨oglichst als erstes be- antragen solltet. In der Regel bewirbt man sich offiziell zweimal: 1. An der Heimuniversit¨at und nach erfolgreicher Annahme, 2. an der ausw¨artigen Universit¨at. 2.1 Bewerbung - Deutschland (Hannover) An der Uni Hannover gibt es ein Buro¨ fur¨ alle internationalen Angelegen- heiten das sogenannte Hochschulburo¨ fur¨ Internationales. Alle Studenten, die nach Hannover kommen oder aus Hannover an eine ausl¨andische Universit¨at m¨ochten, sollten den Weg uber¨ dieses Amt gehen. So musste ich mich zun¨achst ca. 6 Monate vor meinem Aufenthalt in Shang- hai, an der Uni Hannover fur¨ das Auslandssemester bewerben. Es hat den Vorteil, dass man Zugang zu weiteren Informationen und Ansprechpartnern erh¨alt. Daruber¨ hinaus gibt es eigentlich alle wichtigen Informationen fur¨ den Bewerbungsgang der Tongji Universit¨at bereits auf der Website des Hoch- schulburo¨ fur¨ Internationales. Wichtig ist, dass Ihr alle Dokumente m¨oglichst schnell und auf jeden Fall kom- plett vorzeigen k¨onnt. Je schneller Ihr alle Unterlagen fur¨ den ersten Schritt vorweisen k¨onnt, desto schneller k¨onnt Ihr euch um die n¨achsten Schritte kummern.¨ Lasst euch also nicht zu lange Zeit. Im Allgemeinen werdet Ihr wahrscheinlich folgende Unterlagen ben¨otigen (ohne Gew¨ahr)1: • Ausdruck der Onlinebewerbung der Leibniz Universit¨at Hannover (muss nicht von einem Koordinator unterschrieben werden) 1 https://www.international.uni-hannover.de/asien.html KAPITEL 2. VORBEREITUNGEN • Lebenslauf in englischer Sprache • Motivationsschreiben und Darstellung des Studienvorhabens in englischer Sprache (min. 250 W¨orter) - Am Besten fertigt Ihr dies direkt in englisch und deutsch an. • Empfehlungsschreiben in englischer Sprache.(Von einem Professor) - Zus¨atzlich zu diesem Schreiben ben¨otigt Ihr eventuell eine offizielle Bewertung eines Professors, dies ist fur¨ ein Stipendium Notwendig. (2.2) • Nachweis der bisherigen Studienleistungen/Notenspiegel (m¨oglichst eben- falls in Englisch) • Sprachnachweis Englisch (DAAD-Sprachtest beim Fachsprachenzentrum, TOEFL, IELTS etc.) - Dies ist nur fur¨ die Heim Universit¨at und kann ggfs. variieren. Nach der offiziellen Bewerbung beim Hochschulburo¨ fur¨ Internationales mit diesen Unterlagen, dauert es etwa 6-8 Wochen bis man sozusagen akzeptiert wurde fur¨ eine Bewerbung an der Tongji Universit¨at. Das liegt daran, dass z.B. die Universit¨at Hannover nur ein gewisses Kontingent an Studenten an die Tongji schicken darf. Im Wintersemester waren wir aus Hannover 2 Studenten die sich fur¨ die Tongji beworben haben, wir beide wurden akzeptiert. 2.2 Stipendium Ebenfalls durch das Hochschulburo¨ fur¨ Internationales habe ich erfahren, dass ich mich fur¨ diverse Stipendien bewerben kann. Diejenigen die mir Angeboten worden sind, werden jedoch nur exklusiv vergeben. Das bedeutet, man darf sich fur¨ nur ein Stipendium anmelden und auch nur ein Stipendium anneh- men. Ich habe mich fur¨ das Leibniz Promos-Stipendium entschieden, welches letzt- endlich unter dem DAAD organisiert wird. Eine Liste der ben¨otigten Unterlagen fand ich wieder auf der Seite des Hoch- schulburos¨ fur¨ Internationales 2. Die Unterlagen deckten sich fast mit denen der Bewerbung bei der Universit¨at selbst, außer dass ich eine genaue Evaluation eines

  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

    Hou Beiren at 100 百岁北人百岁北人 Contents Director’s Preface 5 Celebrating Hou Beiren at 100 7 Mark Dean Johnson My One Hundred Years: An Artistic Journey 13 Hou Beiren Plates 19 Biography 86 3 Director’s Preface Two years ago, at the opening of Sublimity: Recent Works by Hou Beiren, I proposed a toast to Master Hou: “… it was not in the plan prior to this moment, but I hope to present another exhibition of your works two years from now to celebrate your 100th birthday.” Master Hou was a little surprised by my proposal but replied affirmatively right at the moment. Thus we are having this current exhibition – Hou Beiren at 100. In the long course of human history, 100 years is just a blink of the eye. Yet when it comes to a man, 100 years is certainly a magnificent journey, especially considering the vast era of tremendous socio-political changes in modern China that Hou’s life and times encompass. Growing up as a village boy in a small county of Northern China, Hou had lived in China, Japan, and Hong Kong before relocating to the US sixty years ago. Witnessing the ups and downs, whether first-hand in China, or as a sojourner overseas, Hou never gave up his passion for painting. In fact, through painting he had been searching for his “dream”, “ideal” and “soul”, as he wrote in his statement. The mountains and valleys, rivers and creeks, trees and flowers, clouds and mists, waterfalls and rains, are all his heartfelt expressions in the means of ink and colors, and the yearning for a homeland in his dream.

  • Art Shanghai
    WORDS DAVID ELLIOTT PLAYING TO THE GALLERIES While it may have become best known for its explosion of skyscrapers, Shanghai has also been busy building an impressive collection of contemporary art museums. ike Sydney and Melbourne, NYC and LA, and Delhi and Mumbai, Beijing and Shanghai have always competed with each other. As the capital, Beijing has the political Lstatus, but Shanghai has long been the commercial hub of China. In 2008, Beijing proudly presented the Olympic Games, but Shanghai was just as honoured to host the 2010 World Expo. Last year saw the topping out of the Shanghai Tower, China’s tallest (and the second highest in the world), but there are rumours that a new skyscraper in Beijing’s CBD will be even higher. China’s museum and gallery sector is no different. Beijing has claimed superiority, but now Shanghai is a very serious challenger, especially in the new growth area of private museums. Shanghai is huge – by most counts the biggest city in the world – and its art museums are spread out. Luckily, the city’s metro is excellent, so you can get to most of them by under- ground, and short taxi hops will see to the remainder. ❯ The Long Museum, PHOTOGRAPHY: GETTY IMAGES West Bund, Shanghai 82 QANTAS SEPTEMBER 2014 ART SHANGHAI CENTRAL SHANGHAI THE LONG MUSEUM IS ONE A good place to start is Shanghai Museum on People’s Square (201 OF THE BEST TO GAIN AN Renmin Avenue; 9am-5pm daily, free; www.shanghaimuseum.net/ en).

  • An Arts Explosion Takes Shanghai
    nytimes.com http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/08/travel/shanghai-west-bund-museums.html An Arts Explosion Takes Shanghai In Shanghai, the historic Bund grabs much of the spotlight — the stretch of former banks and trading houses along the Huangpu River, built a century ago in a kaleidoscope of architectural styles, is a monument to the grandeur of another era. It can also be downright suffocating on weekends, with tourists jostling for selfie positions. For congestion-weary residents, another part of the riverfront now known as the West Bund has become a far more appealing place to spend the weekend. Here, a once-forlorn industrial area known for aircraft manufacturing has been transformed into a lush green corridor where Shanghainese come to ride bikes and skateboards, scale outdoor rock- climbing walls and, a rarity in this city, enjoy picnics on the grassy riverbank. And in the last two years, museums and galleries have also started popping up as part of the city’s plan to turn the West Bund into a world-class arts and culture hub, Shanghai’s answer to Museum Mile in New York or South Bank in London. The atrium at the Yuz Museum. Credit Qilai Shen for The New York Times On one end of the waterfront area, two massive industrial buildings have been repurposed and transformed into the West Bund Art Center , site of a new annual art fair, and the Yuz Museum, focusing on contemporary works. On the other end is another institution exhibiting a mix of classical antiquities and modern Chinese art, the Long Museum West Bund.

  • COURSE SYLLABUS Survey of Art in China
    COURSE SYLLABUS Survey of Art in China: How China’s art defines society 21st Century City Program in Shanghai Suggested US semester credit hours: 3 Contact hours: 45 IFSA-Butler course code: ARTH260 Course length: Semester Delivery method: Face to face Language of Instruction: English COURSE DESCRIPTION Shanghai, as an urban city, has been undergoing an accelerated rate of museum building in the past six years that is unprecedented in China’s history. The aim of this course is to systematically examine the development of Chinese art from early history to modern times as evidence of historical trace rather than as objects of “fine art.” Majority of the class sessions will take place in selected museums as well as public sites for art throughout the greater metropolis of Shanghai. The students will examine the contents of the material culture to better understand the context of its production and consumption. What do the objects reveal about historical conditions and its relationship to present society? What do art museums reveal about the nation, the city, and society through the displays of exhibitions? What kind of statements are being articulated by the institutions to the public? By the end of the course, the students will be able to recognize: 1. what genres and stylistic elements of art came to be embraced through successive periods. 2. why certain objects and medium were and still are so important in China. 3. why the city of Shanghai was a critical site for the development of modernism in Chinese art. 4. how the meaning of “Chinese art” continues to remain fixed but has also evolved over geographical regions and outside its borders.
