    (Updated on January 12, 2005) Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party - Introduction More than a decade after the fall of the former Soviet Union and Eastern European communist regimes, the international communist movement has been spurned worldwide. The demise of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is only a matter of time. Nevertheless, before its complete collapse, the CCP is trying to tie its fate to the Chinese nation, with its 5000 years of civilization. This is a disaster for the Chinese people. The Chinese people must now face the impending questions of how to view the CCP, how to evolve China into a society without the CCP, and how to pass The Epoch Times is now publishing a special editori al series, on the Chinese heritage. The Epoch Times is “Nine Commentaries on the Chinese Communist Party.” now publishing a special editorial series, “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party.” Before the lid is laid on the coffin of the CCP, we wish to pass a final judgment on it and on the international communist movement, which has been a scourge to humanity for over a century. Throughout its 80-plus years, everything the CCP has touched has been marred with lies, wars, famine, tyranny, massacre and terror. Traditional faiths and principles have been violently destroyed. Original ethical concepts and social structures have been disintegrated by force. Empathy, love and harmony among people have been twisted into struggle and hatred. Veneration and appreciation of the heaven and earth have been replaced by an arrogant desire to “fight with heaven and earth.” The result has been a total collapse of social, moral and ecological systems, and a profound crisis for the Chinese people, and indeed for humanity.

Ghenghis had conquered part of northern China in 1215, having already united the various nomadic tribes of the steppe land. He divided his empire into four kingdoms, each ruled and expanded by a son and his wife. Ghenghis' grandson, Kublai Khan (reigned 1260-94), was ruler of the eastern Great Khanate. He completed the conquest of China by defeating the Southern Song in 1279.

  • Early German Research in Ancient Chinese Architecture (1900–1930)
    Eduard Kögel: Early German Research in Ancient Chinese Architecture (1900–1930). 1 Berliner Chinahefte/Chinese History and Society 2011, Nr.39, p.81–91. Early German Research in Ancient Chinese Architecture (1900–1930) Architectural history in China Architecture was seen as a handicraft in China until the early 20th century. This craft was documented in building manuals and passed down from generation to generation of carpenter families (Chiu Che Bing 2008). Traditional Chinese scholars were engaged in all aspects of art, but only marginally in architecture. Western-based architectural education was introduced into China during the 1920s, and only afterwards was architectural history established as an academic field of study (Xing 2002).1 Nancy Shatzman Steinhardt writes: “In truth, architectural history in China in the first decades of the twentieth century was perceived as a primarily literary endeavour, interesting because of the challenge of making one’s way through difficult texts, not because the actual structures were inherently inspiring.”2 Today the history of architecture is an integral part of architecture education, but faculties of art history that focus on architectural history are still very rare (Shatzman Steinhardt 2002). Foreign scholars first started conducting scientific research on ancient Chinese architecture in the early 20th century, before Chinese historians started to concentrate on the topic. In the following paper, I will focus on the status of knowledge in Germany concerning Chinese architecture up to the early 1930s, when the Beijing-based Society for Research in Chinese Architecture (Zhonggo Yingzao Xueshe) discovered new insights by studying ancient buildings on site. The most important German scholar in the first phase of the 20th Century was Ernst Boerschmann (1873–1949), but besides him various architects and art historians also contributed to the discourse in the West with publications almost always written in German.

  • China Delight
    Friendly Planet Travel China Delight China OVERVIEW Introduction These days, it's quite jarring to walk around parts of old Beijing. Although old grannies can still be seen pushing cabbages in rickety wooden carts amidst huddles of men playing chess, it's not uncommon to see them all suddenly scurry to the side to make way for a brand-new BMW luxury sedan squeezing through the narrow hutong (a traditional Beijing alleyway). The same could be said of the longtang-style alleys of Sichuan or a bustling marketplace in Sichuan. Modern China is a land of paradox, and it's becoming increasingly so in this era of unprecedented socioeconomic change. Relentless change—seen so clearly in projects like the Yangtze River dam and the relocation of thousands of people—has been an elemental part of China's modern character. Violent revolutions in the 20th century, burgeoning population growth (China is now the world's most populous country by far) and economic prosperity (brought about by a recent openness to the outside world) have almost made that change inevitable. China's cities are being transformed—Beijing and Shanghai are probably the most dynamic cities in the world right now. And the country's political position in the world is rising: The 2008 Olympics were awarded to Beijing, despite widespread concern about how the government treats its people. China has always been one of the most attractive travel destinations in the world, partly because so much history exists alongside the new, partly because it is still so unknown to outsiders. The country and its people remain a mystery.

  • 32.LAGERWEY, John. “Introduction,” Modern Chinese Religion I Song
    Introduction John Lagerwey These volumes, like those that preceded them on early Chinese religion and those that will follow in part two of the present project, are focused on a period of paradigm shift. The basic hypothesis is that, between 960 when the Song and 1368 when the Ming was founded, something radically new emerged that, by becoming state orthodoxy, determined what was to come. The consensus has long been that that something new is Daoxue 道學 or neo-Confucianism, concerning which there is no reason to contest Yu Ying-shih’s characterization: From a historical point of view, the emergence of the Tao-hsüeh commu- nity in Sung China may be most fruitfully seen as a result of seculariza- tion. There is much evidence suggesting that the Tao-hsüeh community was, in important ways, modeled on the Ch’an monastic community. The Neo-Confucian academy, from structure to spirit, bears a remarkable family resemblance to the Ch’an monastery. But the difference is sub- stantial and important. Gradually, quietly, but irreversibly, Chinese soci- ety was taking a this-worldly turn with Ch’an masters being replaced by Confucian teachers as spiritual leaders.1 But the emergence of this orthodoxy needs at the very least to be contextual- ized, for if Chan 禪 influences Daoxue, it is also in competition with Tiantai 天台, and Buddhism and Daoism continue both to borrow from and to com- pete with each other. Under the influence of both esoteric Buddhism 密宗 and Daoist Neidan 內丹 (symbolic alchemy), Tiantai Buddhism and Zhengyi 正一 (Orthodox Unity) Daoism produce vast ritual syntheses that not only trans- form the relationship between them and medium-based popular religion but continue to define their respective ritual traditions right down to the present.
