The Great Divergence and the Economics of Printing
The Great Divergence and the Economics of Printing Luis Angeles PRELIMINARY. PLEASE DO NOT QUOTE. March 13, 2015 1 Introduction One of the finest paradoxes in global history is the statement by Francis Bacon, champion of empiricism and a major figure in Europe’s intellectual ascendancy, about the importance of inventions in changing human lives. The three great inventions chosen by Bacon to make his case are printing, gunpowder, and the compass. All three were of Chinese origin.1 The failure of China to industrialize ahead of Europe, leading to what Kenneth Pomeranz has termed "The Great Divergence", has puzzled schol- Adam Smith Business School (Economics), University of Glasgow.

I thank, in particular, participants of the 4th Asian Historical Eco- nomics Conference in Istanbul, and seminar participants at the London School of Eco- nomics. I am, of course, liable for all remaining errors. 1 The statement in question is as follows: "Again, we should notice the force, effect, and consequences of inventions, which are nowhere more conspicuous than in those three which were unknown to the ancients; namely, printing, gunpowder, and the compass. For these three have changed the ap- pearance and state of the whole world: first in literature, then in warfare, and lastly in navigation; and innumerable changes have been thence derived, so that no empire, sect, or star, appears to have exercised a greater power and influence on human affairs than these mechanical discoveries."

The article furthermore provides a literal translation of the method of preparing qing hao for treating intermittent fever episodes, as advocated by the eminent physician Ge Hong in the fourth century CE.

The Semantic Evolution of Ancient Chinese Animal Nouns
Journal of Chinese Language and Computing 28(2):83-94 83 Where are the “Monsters” from? The Semantic Evolution of Ancient Chinese Animal Nouns Yuchen Zhu 1 and Renfen Hu 2 1 School of History, Beijing Normal University 2 College of Chinese Language & Culture, Beijing Normal University No. 19, XinJieKouWai St., HaiDian District, Beijing 100875, P. R. China [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract Ancient images of Chinese animal nouns often include allusions of “monsters”. This paper investigates such “monsters” from the perspective of lexical semantic evolution based on diachronic corpora. Disyllabic modifier-head nouns are most likely to involve into semantic shifts, which may mislead people’s understanding of some animal images. The linguistic phenomenon can be attributed to adaptations made after the disappearance of the referential objects. Owing to the familiarity and cognitive figures, some sememes were strengthened, and then generated new relationships between the head and modifier, which finally changed the conceptual integration into a whole–part model. Keywords Animal nouns, Semantic evolution, Disyllabic, Monosyllabic, Conceptual integration, Sememe. 1. Introduction Animals are closely associated with human’s life, and the naming of them reflects the how human beings conceptualize animals, as well as the world. The study of animal nouns has yielded rich results in studies of various languages. For Chinese language, (Li 2002) used exegetic and phonological methods to explore the origins, characteristics and rules of animal nouns. Cultural historical approaches are also applied to researches such as animal nomenclature (Sterckx 2016), and interpretations of animal nouns in Er Ya (尔雅) (Xie 2012), which both had deep investigations of human thinking modes e.g.

Essays in Honor of John Defrancis on His Eightieth Birthday
SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS Number 27 August 3 1, 1991 $35.00 Schriftfestschrift: Essays on Writing and Language in Honor of John DeFrancis on His Eightieth Birthday edited by Victor H. Mair Order froni: Department of Oriental Studies University of Pennsylvania Phdadelphia, PA 19 104-6305 USA SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series edited by Victor H. Mair. The purpose of the series is to make available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished. The editor actively encourages younger, not yet well established, scholars and independent authors to submit manuscripts for consideration. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including Romanized Modern Standard Mandarin (MSM) and Japanese, are acceptable. In special circumstances, papers written in one of the Sinitic topolects (fangyan) may be considered for publication. Although the chief focus of Sino-Platonic Papers is on the intercultural relations of China with other peoples, challenging and creative studies on a wide variety of philological subjects will be entertained. This series is not the place for safe, sober, and stodgy presentations. Sino-Platonic Papers prefers lively work that, while taking reasonable risks to advance the field, capitalizes on brilliant new insights into the development of civilization. The only style-sheet we honor is that of consistency. Where possible, we prefer the usages of the Journal of Asian Studies. Sinographs (hanzi, also called tetragraphs [fangkuaizi]) and other unusual symbols should be kept to an absolute minimum. Sino-Platonic Papers emphasizes substance over form.

China's Renaissance
8.6 Shen Gua - China’s Renaissance Man Source: Needham, J. Science and Civilisation in China (Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press). Background: As government official during the Song dynasty (960 – 1279 AD), Shen Gua was a Chinese “Renaissance Man.” He conducted studies and made observations in a number of different fields. Shen developed three-dimensional relief maps, oversaw the construction of waterworks and fortifications, lobbied for the adoption of a solar calendar, argued that medical practice should be based on clinical observation, and wrote about the use of petroleum. In a study of petrified bamboo he hypothesized climate change over long periods of time and he demonstrated that changes in ocean tides correlated with lunar cycles rather than the rising and setting of the sun. Instructions: Examine the edited excerpts A – D from his book Dream Pool Essays (c. 1088) and answer questions 1 – 6. Extra-credit: Illustrate each of the excerpts. Questions 1. Why has Shen Gua been compared to European Enlightenment figures? 2. How did Shen Gua explain finding “stone” bamboo in an area where bamboo did not grow? 3. What scientific technique does Shen Gua use to explain the shape of the sun and moon? 4. Why was the use of movable type for printing an important discovery? 5. Why is Shen Gua puzzled by the impact of the lodestone on the needle? 6. Which of the observations described in the background section or the excerpts from Dream Pool Essays do you consider the most scientifically significant? Explain. A. Petrified Bamboo: There was a landslide on the bank of a large river.

The Nine Chapters on the History of Chinese Mathematics
The Nine Chapters on the History of Chinese Mathematics Rik Brandenburg¤ Keimpe Nevenzeely 15 July 2007 Abstract This article explores Chinese mathematics from the ¯rst archeological evidence of numbers on oracle bones (14th century BC) to the time Chi- nese mathematics became a part universal mathematics (halfway the 19th century AD). First a concise overview of Chinese history and in philosophy is given. The ethical oriented Confucianism was the dominant philosophy and con- sequently little attention was given to the natural world, hindering the development of natural sciences and mathematics. Due to historical and philosophical reasons, Chinese mathematics took quite a di®erent path than its Western counterpart: Chinese mathematics was focused on alge- bra and practical applications instead of geometry and theoretical reason- ing. The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art (ca. 1st century AD) is by far the most inﬂuential work: it would shape Chinese mathematics for centuries to come. Between the 3rd and the 11th century AD, Bud- dhist and Indian ideas got a ¯rm grip on China, yet curiously Chinese mathematics is barely inﬂuenced. In the `Chinese Renaissance' and the subsequent Mongol occupation between the 12th and 14th century Chinese mathematics will reach its zenith. In the 15th and 16th centuries mathematical development waned and important achievements were forgotten. Only after the arrival of Eu- ropean missionary-scientists at the end of the 16th and during the 17th century mathematics made progress again. The Opium Wars of the 19th century mark the end of the classical China and the indigenous Chinese mathematics would be assimilated by universal mathematics.

The Movable Type: How It Acted As an Agent of Information in History and Enabled Access to Knowledge
The Movable Type: How it Acted as an Agent of Information in History and Enabled Access to Knowledge Sean Park and Aichen Qiu Junior Division Group Exhibit Student Composed Words: 499 Process Paper Word Count: 484 Process Paper When the theme of Breaking Barriers for this year’s NHD was announced, we immediately chose our topic as The Movable Type, which originated more than 1,000 years ago. Its development had been widely considered as a significant breakthrough around the world, making it a relevant topic. Within a few weeks of exploring, we quickly realized that the movable type made by East Asians and the further advancement made by Gutenberg broke the barriers of inefficiency of printing and inaccessibility of knowledge. We also liked it because the topic ties to both of our origins, China and Korea. In terms of how we came to the decision of doing an exhibit, first both of us had a strong interest in this presentation format and had experience from last year. Secondly, we felt that the creative and visual side of an exhibit would be more effective to present our research. Lastly and most importantly, the ancient moveable type is a craftsmanship that is better to present in a physical format. Our topic is international. We not only leveraged sources in English but also in other languages, including Chinese and Korean. For efficiency, while we both researched the history in Europe, we were able to divide and conquer when it came to researching Chinese and Korean history. We first started using Britannica or History.com to understand the general context.

The First Global Turn: Chinese Contributions to Enlightenment World History
The First Global Turn: Chinese Contributions to Enlightenment World History Alexander Statman Journal of World History, Volume 30, Number 3, September 2019, pp. 363-392 (Article) Published by University of Hawai'i Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/734752 Access provided at 1 Oct 2019 16:06 GMT from University of Wisconsin @ Madison The First Global Turn: Chinese Contributions to Enlightenment World History ALEXANDER STATMAN The Huntington Library THE FIRST GLOBAL TURN In the middle of the eighteenth century, Enlightenment historiography underwent what might be called the first global turn. European historians devised a new program for world history, drawing diverse local histories together to treat the world as an interconnected whole. Enlightenment world history took many forms, as Jennifer Pitts has shown. Conjectural history, developed in Scotland, formulated universal models of historical development through stages of civilization. Commercial histories, pioneered in France, uncovered the economic links that drew different partsoftheworldtogether.Bothwereattemptstowritehistorieswithvery broad coverage in time and space. Edward Gibbon’s History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, published beginning in 1776, took for its subject the entirety of Europe and much of West Asia over a period of morethana millennium.Voltaire’sEssaisurlesmœursetl’espritdesnations, first published in 1756, was yet more expansive, starting with the beginning of recorded civilization and extending almost to his own day. Both developed approaches that were world-historical in the sense that they were supposed to be applicable always and everywhere. And both realized, too, that in order to be so, they would have to engage with the scholarly traditions of the world beyond Europe.1 1 Jennifer Pitts, “The Global in Enlightenment Historical Thought,” in A Companion to Global Historical Thought, ed.
