When Lv Buwei served as Prime combination with his experience, and finally formed a set of minister of Qin state, he once said, "以秦之强,羞不如(战国四 Sima Qian mode with the style of strategists in Warring States 公子养士),亦招致士,厚遇之,至食客三千。(Meaning: It was in The Records of the Grand Historian by selection and really ashamed that Qin state was so strong but had so fewer revision. intellectuals than that collected by the four feudal princes in the Warring States! Therefore, Lv Buwei began to recruit Keywords—Sima Qian; The Records of the Grand Historian; talents, gave them a generous courtesy, and finally recruited Warring States; strategist three thousand intellectuals accommodated in his mansion 4 I.

However, Lu Buwei himself was also an alien minister, and his accommodating with intellectuals was just Yao Si said, "A literary work is not an object that is to pursue the trend at that time and could not represent the independent and provides the same viewpoint to every reader Qin ruler's attitude toward intellectuals. After Qin Shi Huang of every era. It is not a monument that metaphysically shows unified the six countries, the independent style of strategist in its super-era essence. It is more like an orchestral the Warring States was immediately suppressed. Just as Yu composition that can constantly obtain new response from Yingchun said, "In the political structure of the state, except readers in the performance so that the text can be released the core of rights formed by the superior emperor and a small from the material form of the text and become a 1 group of officials supporting the emperor, almost all contemporary being". For different readers, the same intellectuals in the state collectively constitute the absolute literary work may evoke their different personal experiences; ruling objects of the emperor. There is only a one-way that is to say, "the work will awaken the reader's previous relationship of ruling and being ruled between the emperor reading memory and have reader enter a specific emotional and his subjects". 5 This case cannot be compared with the attitude and reading expectation".2 In the process of reading case that Yan Chu still dares to scream that "士贵耳,王者不贵 documents on strategists in Warring States, Sima Qian got to (meaning: Intellectuals are honorable instead of the king)"6 know, cognized or opposed the behavior of such strategists in facing the angry King Xuan of Qi state.

But Xiang Yu ignored his words. He satirize regardless of the ability to govern the country. For the reason that "人言楚人沐猴而冠耳,果然。(Meaning: There is saying why Qin Shi Huang discarded intellectuals beyond the that Chu people are like macaques wearing human's hat, regime, to certain extent, it is his unprecedented sense of indeed so)".

With the rapid demise of Qin State, the world once again However, Han army was quite different. Fan Dachong fell into chaos, and strategists again had room for activities, mentioned, "方汉祖龙兴于沛上,若萧、曹以刀笔,张、陈以智谋, promptly inspired "the feudal princes to betray Qin", once 勃、婴以织贩,布、哙以屠黥,凡有一技一能者,靡不各逞所长,以 again showing the active and lively atmosphere of strategists 赴攀龙附凤之会,而竟得名垂竹帛,勋列鼎彝,何伟伟也。 in the Warring States period.

I am worried effect played by those people has been far less than that of about you!)" But Xiang Liang didn't accept his advice and strategists in the Warring States. Just as praised in "Han Shu` finally he was defeated to death. Before the Battle in Jvlu, Biography of Li Shiqi, Lu Jia, Zhu Jian, Liu Jing and Shu Song Yi also said to Xiang Yu, "夫搏牛之虻不可以破虮虱。今秦 Suntong (汉书·郦陆朱刘叔孙传)", "it is said that, 'the imperial 攻赵,战胜则兵罢,我承其敝;不胜,则我引兵鼓行而西,必举秦矣。 court is not built only by branches of one wood, and the 故不如先斗秦赵。夫被坚执锐,义不如公;坐而运策,公不如义。 emperor's achievement is not achieved by virtue of strategies (Meaning: One may be able to damage gadbee on ox but of only one strategist'". 12 In Liu Bang's words, "夫运筹策帷帐 cannot get rid of the louse and its ovum on ox body.

Contribution to Sustainability Green Directions Vaughan embraces a Sustainability First principle and states that sustainability means we make decisions and take actions that ensure a healthy environment, vibrant communities and economic vitality for current and future generations. Under this definition, activities related to attracting and retaining business investments contributes to the economic vitality of the City.

However, any future activity associated with the signing of a Letter of Economic Intent, such as; any future business mission(s) to Zibo, Shandong that involves the City would be established through a future report that identifies objectives and costs for Council approval.

  • The Old Master
    INTRODUCTION Four main characteristics distinguish this book from other translations of Laozi. First, the base of my translation is the oldest existing edition of Laozi. It was excavated in 1973 from a tomb located in Mawangdui, the city of Changsha, Hunan Province of China, and is usually referred to as Text A of the Mawangdui Laozi because it is the older of the two texts of Laozi unearthed from it.1 Two facts prove that the text was written before 202 bce, when the first emperor of the Han dynasty began to rule over the entire China: it does not follow the naming taboo of the Han dynasty;2 its handwriting style is close to the seal script that was prevalent in the Qin dynasty (221–206 bce). Second, I have incorporated the recent archaeological discovery of Laozi-related documents, disentombed in 1993 in Jishan District’s tomb complex in the village of Guodian, near the city of Jingmen, Hubei Province of China. These documents include three bundles of bamboo slips written in the Chu script and contain passages related to the extant Laozi.3 Third, I have made extensive use of old commentaries on Laozi to provide the most comprehensive interpretations possible of each passage. Finally, I have examined myriad Chinese classic texts that are closely associated with the formation of Laozi, such as Zhuangzi, Lüshi Chunqiu (Spring and Autumn Annals of Mr. Lü), Han Feizi, and Huainanzi, to understand the intellectual and historical context of Laozi’s ideas. In addition to these characteristics, this book introduces several new interpretations of Laozi.

  • 7070 the E-Pang Palace
    7070 The E-pang Palace E-pang Palace was built in Qin dynasty by Emperor Qin Shihuang in Xianyang, Shanxi Province. It was the largest palace ever built by human. It was so large and so magnificent that after many years of construction, it still was not completed. Building the great wall, E-pang Palace and Qin Shihuang’s tomb cost so much labor and human lives that people rose to fight against Qin Shihuang’s regime. Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were two rebel leaders at that time. Liu Bang captured Xianyang — the capital of Qin. Xiang Yu was very angry about this, and he commanded his army to march to Xianyang. Xiang Yu was the bravest and the strongest warrior at that time, and his army was much more than Liu Bang’s. So Liu Bang was frighten and retreated from Xianyang, leaving all treasures in the grand E-pang Palace untouched. When Xiang Yu took Xianyang, he burned E-pang Palce. The fire lasted for more than three months, renouncing the end of Qin dynasty. Several years later, Liu Bang defeated Xiangyu and became the first emperor of Han dynasty. He went back to E-pang Palace but saw only some pillars left. Zhang Liang and Xiao He were Liu Bang’s two most important ministers, so Liu Bang wanted to give them some awards. Liu Bang told them: “You guys can make two rectangular fences in E-pang Palace, then the land inside the fences will belongs to you. But the corners of the rectangles must be the pillars left on the ground, and two fences can’t cross or touch each other.” To simplify the problem, E-pang Palace can be consider as a plane, and pillars can be considered as points on the plane.

    The Power of an Alleged Tradition: A Prophecy Flattering Han Emperor Wu and its Relation to the Sima Clan* by Dorothee Schaab-Hanke . es muß stets eine lange Übermittlerkette vorhanden sein, damit sich die Hinweise oder Gedanken, die Kommentare, wie immer man es nennt, dehnen. Sie müsen durch zehn Hirne hindurch, um einen Satz zu ergeben.** (Alexander Kluge) Introduction During the early reign of Liu Che ᄸ࿺, posthumously honored as Emperor Wu r. 141–87) of the Han, a severe struggle for infl uence and power seems to) ܹن have arisen among competing groups of experts concerned with the establishment of new imperial rites. This is at least the impression that the Shiji͑৩ (The Scribe’s Record) conveys to the reader in chapter 28, the “Treatise on the Feng and Shan Sacrifi ces” (Fengshan shuܱᑐए). According to the account given there, the compet- ing partners in this struggle were mainly the ru ኵ (here used in the sense of scholars who maintained that any advice in the question of ritual should entirely be based upon evidence drawn from the “Classics”) and a group of specialists called fangshī ʦ (a term which should be translated by “masters of techniques” rather than by the often used, but rather biased term magicians). * I am indebted to Prof. Dr. Hans Stumpfeldt (Hamburg), Dr. Achim Mittag (Essen) and Dr. Monique Nagel- Angermann (Münster) for their helpful and inspiring comments on the text.
