Badly Wanted, but Not for Reading: The Unending Odyssey of The Complete Library of Four Treasures of the Wensu Library Chengzhi Wang Abstract The Chinese book project Siku Quanshu (The Complete Library of Four Treasures) was conducted at the Emperor Qianlong’s command start- ing in 1772. Thirteen thousand two hundred ﬁfty-four books were collected nationwide and thousands of scholars were involved; 3,462 books were selected to make up the Siku Quanshu proper. Over 4 million pages were transcribed by thousands of copyists. Out of the seven copies made, only three copies survived the dramatic histori- cal changes of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries almost intact. This article traces the odyssey of the Wenshu Ge copy, particularly in the rapidly changing sociopolitical and economic contexts of the twentieth century. The emphasis of the article is placed on the de- scription and analysis of its relocation in the early 1920s soon after China was transformed into a republic; in the 1960s at the height of the Cold War when China split from and confronted the USSR; and in particular, in the new era of reform and opening up for economic development since the late 1970s. After the turn of the century, the two-decade competition between Liaoning Province and Gansu Province for physically keeping the copy has become increasingly intense at the national, provincial, and local levels, and the competi- tion has created signiﬁcant impacts on library building and cultural development in the two provinces and beyond.

Li Shangyin: the Poetry of Allusion
LI SHANGYIN: THE POETRY OF ALLUSION By TERESA YEE-WAH YU B.A., The University of Hong Kong, 1973 M.A., The University of British Columbia, 1977 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Asicin Studies) We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA August 1990 (o) Teresa Yee-wah Yu, 1990 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. 1 further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT A major poet of the Tang period, Li Shangyin is highly regarded yet criticized because his work is densely allusive. Dazzling and rich in meaning, it is also difficult and obscure because of its pervasive allusiveness. Chapter I reviews critical opinion of Li's use of allusion. Many traditional critics see allusion as an ornamental rhetorical device and consider Li's profuse allusiveness an idiosyncrasy to be tolerated in an esteemed poet. Chapter II studies allusion broadly and precisely as a literary concept: generally, allusion is a "connector" of texts, a link between a poet's work and his literary heritage; specifi• cally, it is a linguistic device serving metaphorical functions.

Designing Heaven's Will: the Job Assignment in the Chinese Imperial
DESIGNING HEAVEN'S WILL: THE JOB ASSIGNMENT IN THE CHINESE IMPERIAL CIVIL SERVICE INACIO´ BO´ AND LI CHEN Abstract. We provide an original analysis of historical documents to describe the as- signment procedures used to allocate entry-level civil service jobs in China from the tenth to the early twentieth century. The procedures tried to take different objectives into account through trial and error. By constructing a formal model that combines these procedures into a common framework, we compare their effectiveness in minimizing un- filled jobs and prioritizing high-level posts. We show that the problem was inherently complex such that changes made to improve the outcome could have the opposite effect. Based on a small modification of the last procedure used, we provide a new mechanism for producing maximum matchings under constraints in a transparent and public way.

The Local in the Imperial Vision: Landscape, Topography, and Geography in Southern Song Map Guides and Gazetteers
The Local in the Imperial Vision: Landscape, Topography, and Geography in Southern Song Map Guides and Gazetteers Fan Lin, Leiden University Abstract This article examines the generation of topographic maps and geographical writings about local regions of the Southern Song (1127–1279). It identifies two distinct yet interrelated models in the making of local regions in maps and writings: first, map guides (tujing ), which were produced and updated regularly at different tiers of local government for administrative purposes; second, a growing number of monographs, some of them also named “map guides” (tujing) and others “gazetteers” (zhi or difang zhi ), which were compiled by local literati scholars. Upon close examination of these two models, one finds that the local consciousness and identity voiced by the provincial elite were congruous with centralist sentiment and discourse at this time. Specifically, the literati described features of local topographies within an imperial context and in the language of the authorities. Moreover, the wide circulation of these writings also contributed to the collective imagining of a Song Empire in the daily life of the society. In sum, this article argues that there was a close relationship between cartographic discourse and the production of empire at the local level. On the one hand, the state of the Southern Song, traditionally thought to have lost momentum in local control, still proactively maintained regular checks on local geography through mapmaking. On the other hand, local literati strived to establish ties with the central state in various ways while documenting their communities in gazetteers. Keywords: Song dynasty, map guide, tujing, gazetteer, difang zhi, geography, topography Introduction Map guides (tujing , literally “map and treatise”) and gazetteers (difang zhi , literally “record of a local region”) were the two dominant genres of geographical writing in the Song dynasty (960–1279).

Research on the Illustrations of Chinese Local Gazetteers: Overview, Evaluation, and Potential Approach for Future Study1
Scientific Cooperations International Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences Vol 2, Issue 1, July 2016 RESEARCH ON THE ILLUSTRATIONS OF CHINESE LOCAL GAZETTEERS: OVERVIEW, EVALUATION, AND POTENTIAL APPROACH FOR FUTURE STUDY1 Qi Luo School of Architecture and Art Beijing Jiaotong University 3 Shangyuancun, Haidian District 100044 Beijing P. R. of China e-mail: [email protected] telephone: +086 010 5168 3913 Abstract In the Chinese context, local gazetteers (fangzhi 方志) are mostly official or quasi-official standardized compendia of comprehensive materials on given administrative units. Over the course of the last fifty years, research on gazetteer illustrations has grown in relation to the more dominant study of Chinese cartography, gradually becoming an independent subject of study. Though the study of gazetteer illustrations has undergone considerable development, the overall state of research is still far from satisfactory. The quantity of existing case studies is very small and these studies mainly focus on the older and fewer Song gazetteer illustrations, rather than the vast number of more recent Ming and Qing gazetteer ones. When discussed, gazetteer illustrations are usually categorized as “maps”. This paper argues that this is an unsatisfactory method of categorization – one that simply cannot account for the wide variety of gazetteers. Moreover, research on gazetteer maps is, in general, introductory rather than theoretical or analytical, and is usually approached from a cultural, social, or artistic angle rather than from the angle of space. In my conclusion, I give some suggestions about gazetteer illustration selection and then appeal to the study of space in the field of visual culture, suggesting that the theoretical developments of the “spatial turn” should be incorporated into the future interpretation of gazetteer illustrations.

History As Meta-Theater Allison Bernard Deposit Draft 5/16
History as Meta-Theater: Kong Shangren's (1648-1718) The Peach Blossom Fan Allison E. Bernard Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Allison E. Bernard All rights reserved ABSTRACT History as Meta-Theater: Kong Shangren’s (1648-1718) The Peach Blossom Fan Allison E. Bernard This dissertation examines the uses of meta-theater in The Peach Blossom Fan, an early Qing historical drama by Kong Shangren (1648-1718), arguing that the meta-theatrical elements of the play serve as an innovative form of historiography. Kong Shangren, a member of the Confucian Kong lineage, is unusual for a Chinese playwright: he was steeped more deeply in the world of Confucian ritual music than the work of writing lyrics for dramatic arias, yet The Peach Blossom Fan is recognized as one of the last great chuanqi dramas of the Ming-Qing period. Kong wrote at a time of great social and cultural transformation, completing The Peach Blossom Fan not long after the violent conflicts of the mid-17th century Ming-Qing dynastic transition were finally coming to an end. At the same time, the literary genre of chuanqi drama was also in the midst of its own transitions, as writers of the early Qing increasingly turned to other literary genres beyond this popular late Ming form. I argue that The Peach Blossom Fan marks a key transition in the development of the chuanqi drama, owing both to the play’s formal innovations that exceed the traditional chuanqi form, such as its rejection of the conventional “grand reunion” finale and re-envisioning of the role-type system, and also to its synthesis of historiographical judgements with the world of theatrical performance.

The East Asian War, 1592–1598
Downloaded by [New York University] at 00:16 07 August 2016 The East Asian War, 1592–1598 As East Asia regains its historical position as a world centre, information on the history of regional relations becomes ever more critical. Astonishingly, Northeast Asia enjoyed fi ve centuries of international peace from 1400 to 1894, broken only by one major international war – the invasion of Korea in the 1590s by Japan’s ruler Hideyoshi. This war involved Koreans, Japanese, Chinese, Southeast Asians, and Europeans; it saw the largest overseas landing in world history up to that time and devastated Korea. It also highlighted the nature of the strategic balance in the region, presenting China’s Ming dynasty with a serious threat that perhaps foreshadowed the dynasty’s subsequent overthrow by the Manchus, played a major part in the establishment of the Tokugawa regime with its policy of peace and controlled access to seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Japan, and demonstrated the importance for regional stability of the subtle relationship of Korea to both China and Japan. This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the war and its aftermath in all its aspects – military, political, social, economic, and cultural. As such it deepens understanding of East Asian international relations and provides important insights into the strategic concerns that continue to operate in the region at present. James B. Lewis is the University Lecturer in Korean History at the University of Oxford, UK.
