However, it often includes prose lines. The fu was first created during In this paper,1 I examine how Joseon literati understood wen 文. In Korea, the late Warring States period, and it developed into a mature form, or dafu from the fifteenth century onward, the elite class was divided into two groups, (grand fu 大賦), during the Former Han period (202 BCE-8 ADE), when Sima according to their attitudes toward wen—the Hungu 勳舊 faction focused on Xiangru 司馬相如 (179-117 BCE) and Yang Xiong 揚雄 (53 BCE-18 ADE) the craft of literature, whereas the Sarim 士林 faction focused on incorporating wrote their fu works. After the Han period, the fu developed into different Confucian ideas into their literary works. By the end of the sixteenth century, forms. During the Tang dynasty the lüfu (regulated fu 律賦), a form of rhyme- the Sarim faction had come to dominate the entire court, while the Hungu prose became popular since it was required in the jinshi examinations. In faction had been absorbed into the Sarim. -
Joseon Literati's Righteous Principles
STUDIA ORIENTALNE 2021, nr 2 (20) ISSN 2299-1999 https://doi.org/10.15804/so2021209 Haesung Lee1 Joseon Literati’s Righteous Principles (Yiriron) as a Moral Practice in the Political Realities – Its Meaning and Limitation in a Historical Context Introduction:Dohak – the Joseon Neo-Confucianism Neo-Confucianism flourished as a central ideology and absolute social order during the Joseon dynasty (朝鮮 1392–1910). “Neo-Confucianism” is a gen- eral term commonly applied to the revival of the various strands of Confucian philosophy during the Chinese Sòng dynasty (宋 960–1280 C.E.), re-exam- ined and reconstructed by Zhu Xi (朱熹, 1130–1200 AD.) It provided Koreans with philosophical speculation, moral and social norms, and a most strongly functional lifestyle. However, the terms of Joseon Neo-Confucianism con- note some specific characteristics, compared to classic Confucianism and the Chinese version of “Neo-Confucianism”2. The term of Dohak (道學 Chin. Dàoxué) – Dao (Way) Learning – already existed in classical Confucian context. However, in Korea, it is generally called Dohak (道學), which concerns Neo-Confucianism of the Joseon dynasty in a holistic scale. Thus, a proper understanding of the term Dohak is essential to comprehend the essence and particular characteristics of Korean Neo-Con- fucianism. Among the similar terms which refer to Neo-Confucianism, such as Jujahak (朱子學 Chin. Zhūzǐxué: Zhu Xi’s Science) and Jeongjuhak (程朱學 1 University of Wrocław, Poland, ORCID ID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5185-3586, e-mail: [email protected]. 2 The Korean Neo-Confucianism 1) was condensed rather into an anthropological, centripetal, and inward way such as the “Four-Seven” theory and Human Nature; 2) pursued to seek religious an ethical legitimacy under the name of Confucian teaching, even beyond logical rationality; 3) put much more emphasis on Righteousness and Fidelity in a macroscale; 4) clarified the Righteousness as a theoretic speculation on moral propriety. -

Hong Jeongha's Tianyuanshu and Zhengcheng Kaifangfa
Journal for History of Mathematics http://dx.doi.org/10.14477/jhm.2014.27.3.155 Vol. 27 No. 3 (June 2014), 155–164 Hong JeongHa’s Tianyuanshu and Zhengcheng Kaifangfa 洪正夏의 天元術과 增乘開方法 Hong Sung Sa 홍성사 Hong Young Hee 홍영희 Kim Young Wook* 김영욱 Tianyuanshu and Zengcheng Kaifangfa introduced in the Song–Yuan dynasties and their contribution to the theory of equations are one of the most important achieve- ments in the history of Chinese mathematics. Furthermore, they became the most fundamental subject in the history of East Asian mathematics as well. The opera- tions, or the mathematical structure of polynomials have been overlooked by tra- ditional mathematics books. Investigation of GuIlJib (九一集) of Joseon mathemati- cian Hong JeongHa reveals thatQ Hong’s approach to polynomials is highly struc- n tural. For the expansion of k=1(x + ak), Hong invented a new method which we name Hong JeongHa’s synthetic expansion. Using this, he reveals that the pro- cesses in Zhengcheng Kaifangfa is not synthetic division but synthetic expansion.

For the former, Tianyuanshu (天元術) was introduced in the early period of the Song dynasty (960–1279) and then extended up to Siyuanshu (四元術) to repre- sent polynomials of four indeterminates by Zhu Shijie (朱世傑) in his Siyuan Yujian (四元玉鑑, 1303). -

Comparison Between Confucian Democracy of Dasan Jeong Yak-Yong and Modern Democracy of Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Korea Journal, vol. 57, no. 1 (spring 2017): 153–174. © Korean National Commission for UNESCO, 2017 Comparison between Confucian Democracy of Dasan Jeong Yak-yong and Modern Democracy of Jean-Jacques Rousseau YI Jongwoo Abstract One salient feature of modern democracy is that people elect their head of state, either directly or indirectly. This popular democracy is the result of revolutions in England, the USA, and France. However, this feature is also present in Confucian democracy as assert- ed by the Korean thinker Dasan Jeong Yak-yong. As such, this article presents a compara- tive analysis of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a founding framer of modern democracy, and Dasan, a Korean Confucian and democratic thinker. Rousseau argued that the people had the right to elect their sovereign directly and dismiss him if he harmed peace and equality in the city-state (in this case, Geneva). However, Dasan claimed that lords cho- sen by the people had the right to elect the ruler and remove or even execute a tyrant if it were justified. Although Dasan and Rousseau did not influence each other, they made the common argument that the people had a right to elect and remove their chief. Rousseau stated that the people could elect their ruler directly, but that they should remove that ruler in a peaceful way through an assembly. Dasan suggested that the people elect their ruler indirectly and remove a tyrant through justified revolution. Their respective concep- tions of democracy both presuppose that the ruler should act on behalf of the people. Thus, this article analyzes the claims of these two thinkers when a ruler causes misery to the people. -
From the Universal to the National the Question of Language and Writing in Twentieth-Century Korea*
Journal of World Literature 1 (2016) 245–258 brill.com/jwl From the Universal to the National The Question of Language and Writing in Twentieth-Century Korea* Lim HyungTaek Sungkyunkwan University [email protected] Abstract With the advent of western modernity towards the end of the nineteenth century, the Chinese scriptworld deconstructed. This was the greatest transformation to take place in this region in all of its recorded history, for that history began in Chinese script. China, Japan, Vietnam, and Korea all used the Chinese script but used it in different ways. The universal system was developed uniquely in each case in interaction with the vernacular. This paper will examine the ways in which Korea adopted and negotiated with the Universal script and how Chinese writing developed with respect to Korean speech. It will conclude with some observations on the tensions brought to bear on the Chinese scriptworld by nationalization and westernization. Keywords Chinese Scriptworld – nationalization – Westernization – Korean National Language * Translated by Sowon S. Park.

On Mathematical Symbols in China* by Fang Li and Yong Zhang†
On Mathematical Symbols in China* by Fang Li and Yong Zhang† Abstract. When studying the history of mathemati- cal symbols, one finds that the development of mathematical symbols in China is a significant piece of Chinese history; however, between the beginning of mathematics and modern day mathematics in China, there exists a long blank period. Let us focus on the development of Chinese mathematical symbols, and find out the significance of their origin, evolution, rise and fall within Chinese mathematics. The Origin of the Mathematical Symbols Figure 1. The symbols for numerals are the earliest math- ematical symbols. Ancient civilizations in Babylonia, derived from the word “white” (ⱑ) which symbolizes Egypt and Rome, which each had distinct writing sys- the human’s head in hieroglyphics. Similarly, the Chi- tems, independently developed mathematical sym- nese word “ten thousand” (ϛ) in Oracle Bone Script bols. Naturally, China did not fall behind. In the 16th was derived from the symbol for scorpion, possibly century BC, symbols for numerals, called Shang Or- because it is a creature found throughout rocks “in acle Numerals because they were used in the Oracle the thousands”. In Oracle Script, the multiples of ten, Bone Script, appeared in China as a set of thirteen hundred, thousand and ten thousand can be denoted numbers, seen below. (The original can be found in in two ways: one is called co-digital or co-text, which reference [2].) combines two single figures; another one is called Oracle Bone Script is a branch of hieroglyphics. analysis-word or a sub-word, which uses two sepa- In Figure 1, it is obvious that 1 to 4 are the hiero- rate symbols to represent a single meaning (see [5]). -
Chinese Foreign Policy Towards North Korea Under Xi Jinping
The Government of Russian Federation St. Petersburg State University School of International Relations Master’s Thesis CHINESE FOREIGN POLICY TOWARDS NORTH KOREA UNDER XI JINPING Jin Xing In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master in International Relations Program Under the supervision of Prof. Ivan Tsvetkov, Ph.D. Department of American Studies June 2017 Chinese Foreign Policy Towards North Korea under Xi Jinping ABSTRACT With an obvious increase in the uncertainty of instability in the current world, the Ko- rean Peninsula issue is an unprecedented situation that changes profoundly and indicates that its more than half a century security pattern is entering the eve of historic structural changes. The main driver of this change is how to resolve the North Korean nuclear issue, whether to implement a policy, and how to achieve the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. This dissertation deals with China’s foreign policy on North Korea under Xi Jinping from 2013 to the present. I use primary document sources, speeches, statistics, interview, and news to analyze and explain the history of Chinese-Korean relations and about the main prin- ciples of the current Chinese foreign policy. I also studied the positions of the main interna- tional actors towards the Korean problem to explain these countries’ complex interest relation- ship. I examine the economic change after the start of Kim Jong-un’s regime and the Chinese- North Korean economic exchange expressing the frontier trade with the statistics, as well as the main Chinese policy method on North Korea’s issues. In this paper, I attempt to study Chi- na’s interests and attitudes on the DPRK issues, as well as the other main actors involved, and try to find a solution to these issues.
