  • “Heal the Sick”
    "HEAL THE SICK" THE STORY OF THE MEDICAL MISSION AUXILIARY OF THE BAPTIST MISSIONARY SOCIETY By R. FLETCHER MOORSHEAD, M.B., F.R.C.S. Medical Secretary of the Society LONDON: THE CAREY PRESS 19 FURNIVAL STREET TO MY WIFE AUTHOR'S PREFACE Two years ago, upon the occasion of the celebration of the semi-jubilee of the Medical Mission Auxiliary, the desire was expressed that some permanent record of the twenty-five years should be compiled. The following pages, written as and when they could be in the scant leisure that it was possible to snatch from the demands of other work, are offered in the hope that their perusal may deepen interest in the work of B.M.S. Medical Missions. The very fact that the Auxiliary no longer exists as a specific branch of the Society may be held to constitute one reason why its inspiring story should be recorded ere the ceaseless march of events has caused it to be forgotten. A greater reason may be found in the character of the service which here stands revealed. No finer heroism is to be found anywhere than that exhibited by the lives of mission­ ary doctors and nurses, and for the sake of the younger generation in particular, it deserves to be told. A still further reason may be traced in the need, increasingly apparent, to safeguard the dis­ tinctive work of Medical Missions from being lost sight of in the more general presentation of the missionary enterprise which has become customary of recent years. In a very real sense the place and power of Medical Missions require to be defined afresh in vii viii PREFACE the days in which we live.

ABSTRACT Conversion by the Book: Buddhist Print Culture in Early Republican China 經典佛化: 民國初期佛教出版文化 Gregory Adam Scott 史瑞戈 In this dissertation I argue that print culture acted as a catalyst for change among Buddhists in modern China. Through examining major publication institutions, publishing projects, and their managers and contributors from the late nineteenth century to the 1920s, I show that the expansion of the scope and variety of printed works, as well as new the social structures surrounding publishing, substantially impacted the activity of Chinese Buddhists. In doing so I hope to contribute to ongoing discussions of the ‘revival’ of Chinese Buddhism in the modern period, and demonstrate that publishing, propelled by new print technologies and new forms of social organization, was a key field of interaction and communication for religious actors during this era, one that helped make possible the introduction and adoption of new forms of religious thought and practice. 本論文的論點是出版文化在近代中國佛教人物之中,扮演了變化觸媒的角色. 通過研究從十 九世紀末到二十世紀二十年代的主要的出版機構, 種類, 及其主辦人物與提供貢獻者, 論文 說明佛教印刷的多元化 以及範圍的大量擴展, 再加上跟出版有關的社會結構, 對中國佛教 人物的活動都發生了顯著的影響. 此研究顯示在被新印刷技術與新形式的社會結構的推進 下的出版事業, 為該時代的宗教人物展開一種新的相互連結與構通的場域, 因而使新的宗教 思想與實踐的引入成為可能. 此論文試圖對現行關於近代中國佛教的所謂'復興'的討論提出 貢獻.

  • Andrew Young of Shensi
    ANDREW YOUNG OF SHENSI ADVENTURE IN MEDICAL MISSIONS BY }. C. KEYTE LONDON: THE CAREY PRESS 19, FURNIVAL STREET TO THE MEMORY OF TWO GALLANT GENTLEMEN : H. STANLEY JENKINS, M.D., F.R.C.S., AND CECIL F. RoBERTSON, M.B., F.R.C.S., Whose passion it was to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ ; whose privilege it was, in His Name, to relieve the suffering ; and who, in prosecuting theirlabour of love, laid down their lives in Sianfu in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and thirteen. AUTHOR'S PREFACE THE justification for such a volume as the present is to be found in the belief that " the fine is not the abnormal, it is the usual." The thought of' any book written around his life being the glorification of the subject would have distressed Andrew Young greatly, but to its publication he might have at least resigned himself if from a perusal of his story the reader could gather a truer idea of the aims underlying the medical missionary enterprise. The subject of this biography has points of temperament and areas of experience peculiar to himself, yet it is as he is representative that he is most valuable ; and whilst many missionaries fall short of the standard at which he arrived, the reader can yet rest assured that the values in conduct which appear in the pages which follow are not peculiar to this missionary alone. Mission­ aries' faults there are in plenty, easily discovered and described, but the virtues are there also, and, both for the student as well as for the critic of missions, a little honest research in this latter direction will not be time wasted.

Phoebe Chow 3 Abstract Public opinion in Britain influenced the government’s policy of retreat in response to Chinese nationalism in the 1920s. The foreigners’ rights to live, preach, work and trade in China extracted by the ‘unequal treaties’ in the nineteenth century were challenged by an increasingly powerful nationalist movement, led by the Kuomintang, which was bolstered by Soviet support. The Chinese began a major attack on British interests in June 1925 in South China and continued the attack as the Kuomintang marched upward to the Yangtze River, where much of British trade was centred.

  • Buddhist Monasticism in East Asia
    Buddhist Monasticism in East Asia The area of Buddhist monasticism has long attracted the interest of Buddhist Studies scholars and historians, but the interpretation of the nature and function of monasteries across diverse cultures and vast historical periods remains a focus for debate. This book provides a multifaceted discussion of religious, social, cultural, artistic, and political functions of Buddhist monasteries in medieval China and Japan. With contributions from leading scholars in the field, this volume explores the multiplicity of the institutions that make up “the Buddhist monastery.” Drawing on new research and on previous studies hitherto not widely available in English, the chapters cover key issues such as the relationship between monastics and lay society, the meaning of monastic vows, how specific institutions functioned, and the differences between urban and regional monasteries. Collectively, the book demonstrates that medieval monasteries in East Asia were much more than merely residences for monks who, cut off from the dust and din of society and all its entrap- ments, collectively pursued an ideal cenobitic lifestyle. Buddhist Monasticism in East Asia is a timely contribution to the ongoing attempts to understand a central facet of Buddhist religious practice, and will be a significant work for academics and students in the fields of Buddhist Studies, Asian Studies, and East Asian Religions. James A. Benn is Associate Professor of Buddhism and East Asian Religions at McMaster University. He works on Buddhism and Taoism in Medieval China and is the author of Burning for the Buddha: Self-Immolation in Chinese Buddhism (2007). Lori Meeks is Assistant Professor of Religion and East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Southern California.

  • Making “Chinese Art”: Knowledge and Authority in the Transpacific Progressive Era
    Making “Chinese Art”: Knowledge and Authority in the Transpacific Progressive Era Kin-Yee Ian Shin Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Kin-Yee Ian Shin All rights reserved ABSTRACT -- Making “Chinese Art”: Knowledge and Authority in the Transpacific Progressive Era Kin-Yee Ian Shin This dissertation presents a cultural history of U.S.-China relations between 1876 and 1930 that analyzes the politics attending the formation of the category we call “Chinese art” in the United States today. Interest in the material and visual culture of China has influenced the development of American national identity and shaped perceptions of America’s place in the world since the colonial era. Turn-of-the-century anxieties about U.S.-China relations and geopolitics in the Pacific Ocean sparked new approaches to the collecting and study of Chinese art in the U.S. Proponents including Charles Freer, Langdon Warner, Frederick McCormick, and others championed the production of knowledge about Chinese art in the U.S. as a deterrent for a looming “civilizational clash.” Central to this flurry of activity were questions of epistemology and authority: among these approaches, whose conceptions and interpretations would prevail, and on what grounds? American collectors, dealers, and curators grappled with these questions by engaging not only with each other—oftentimes contentiously—but also with their counterparts in Europe, China, and Japan. Together they developed and debated transnational forms of expertise within museums, world’s fairs, commercial galleries, print publications, and educational institutes.

Abstract Elite Protestants were a very small group in Republican China, but they were surprisingly influential among the ranks of Chinese modernizers, with Sun Yatsen as the preeminent example. They represented one of the most significant fruits of Sino-Western cultural exchange in the early twentieth century and left a lasting mark on China, yet as a group they have been largely overlooked in histories of the period. This dissertation, therefore, restores these individuals to history at the same time that it probes a deeper affinity between Protestantism and modernity that helps to explain the rise of this group and their particular vision of a modern China.

    Transferring Western Medical Professional Institutions to China – Riding with Missions and Dismissing Native Medicine, 1807-1937: Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Changsha A Dissertation SUBMTTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Shawn Xiaoyan-Lu Foster IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Advisor: Sally Gregory Kohlstedt December 2019 Shawn Xiaoyan-Lu Foster, ©2019 Acknowledgements In the prolonged process of completing my graduate studies and dissertation writing, I am indebted to many people. It is a difficult a task to say “thank you” for all the help, support, understanding, and argument given by so many people over the time it took to write this dissertation. I apologize first to those nameless supporters who, due to my fault, suffered omission or under-representation. Still, I would like to enjoy this opportunity to acknowledge my appreciations to as many people and institutions as I can. My appreciation goes first wholeheartedly to my adviser, Professor Sally Gregory Kohlstedt. Without her academic support, encouragement, and patience I could not have come this far. Her guidance, insight, and immense knowledge steered me through this long learning process. Her advice and feedback throughout my project through each stage of the process would not be overstated by any language. My profound gratitude goes to my dissertation committee members, Professors Susan D. Jones, Jennifer Lee Gunn, Mark E. Borrello, and Honghong Tinn. Their stimulating questions, from multiple perspectives formed a comprehensive and objective critique. Their enthusiastic encouragement and insightful comments often opened new windows for me to consider different perspectives of my project.
