  • List 3. Headings That Need to Be Changed from the Machine- Converted Form
    LIST 3. HEADINGS THAT NEED TO BE CHANGED FROM THE MACHINE- CONVERTED FORM The data dictionary for the machine conversion of subject headings was prepared in summer 2000 based on the systematic romanization of Wade-Giles terms in existing subject headings identified as eligible for conversion before detailed examination of the headings could take place. When investigation of each heading was subsequently undertaken, it was discovered that some headings needed to be revised to forms that differed from the forms that had been given in the data dictionary. This occurred most frequently when older headings no longer conformed to current policy, or in the case of geographic headings, when conflicts were discovered using current geographic reference sources, for example, the listing of more than one river or mountain by the same name in China. Approximately 14% of the subject headings in the pinyin conversion project were revised differently than their machine- converted forms. To aid in bibliographic file maintenance, the following list of those headings is provided. In subject authority records for the revised headings, Used For references (4XX) coded Anne@ in the $w control subfield for earlier form of heading have been supplied for the data dictionary forms as well as the original forms of the headings. For example, when you see: Chien yao ware/ converted to Jian yao ware/ needs to be manually changed to Jian ware It means: The subject heading Chien yao ware was converted to Jian yao ware by the conversion program; however, that heading now

  • The Concept of the Five Famous Wares of the Song Dynasty —A Modern Invention
    The Concept of the Five Famous Wares of the Song Dynasty —A Modern Invention Sabrina Rastelli Department of Asian and North African Studies, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Venice, Italy Abstract The concept of the five famous wares of the Song dynasty is a fundamental theory that has influenced both researching and learning about Chinese ceramics. Archaeological excavations carried out since the 1950s and particularly during the past two decades have provided modern scholars with many and precious pieces of information that have deeply changed our understanding of the history of Chinese ceramics. They have also undermined the concept itself, but when discussing Ding, Ru, Jun, Guan or Ge experts seldom resist the temptation to remind that it is one of the five famous wares. The aim of this paper is to trace back when and how this definition was coined, by combing through Chinese sources. Key words five famous wares China ceramics ceramic literature Song The concept of the five famous wares of the Song dynasty (Songdai Wuda Mingyao 宋代五大名窑 ) is a fundamental theory that has influenced both researching and learning about Chinese ceramics. At the end of the 1980s, Song wares were classified as either official or popular. The first category was constituted by the so-called five famous wares of the Song dynasty, namely Ding(定), Ru(汝), Jun(钧), Guan(官)and Ge(哥). Ten years later, while researching for my PhD thesis, I began to doubt the exactness of this theory, but I explored the problem only from the perspective of the Yaozhou ( 耀州 ) kilns (Rastelli, 2008).

    39 Ching-Ling Wang* R E JA P RE-CONSIDERING A CIZHOU-TYPE JAR IN THE VVAK COLLECTION U-TY Introduction O Within the collection of the VVAK, on long term loan to the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, is a Cizhou-type (Cizhouyao xi) stoneware jar (AK-MAK-536, fig. 1). This jar has a short tapered neck, a wide mouth, and four small loops between the neck and the shoulder which would originally have been used to IZH secure a lid; from the square shoulder the sides narrow towards the foot. C The inner neck and the body are covered with a crackled glaze and slip to around three centimeters above the base. On the surface of the glaze are cloudy patches of slip that turned pink or brownish-beige during firing. A The slip has been worn away around the base. One side is decorated with G a painting of a galloping horse, shown running through grassland – as suggested by spare brush strokes. The horse is painted in shades of iron IN brown beneath the glaze. It has a dark brown body, a yellowish-brown mane, R and a tail painted with fluid brushstrokes. On the other side, in the same E palette, is an as yet unidentified plant (fig. 2). The base of the jar is plain biscuit (fig. 3). D I first encountered this jar in September 2013 during an interview for my job as curator of Chinese art in the Rijksmuseum. I remember that this jar was NSI placed in front of me and I was asked several questions about it.

  • The Castilians Discover Siam: Changing Visions and Self-Discovery
    THE CASTILIANS DISCOVER SIAM: CHANGING VISIONS AND SELF-DISCOVERY Florentino ~odao' Abstract Iberians were the first people in Europe to interact directly with Siam. Centuries elapsed between the time the first information about Siam was received in the Iberian Peninsula and the period when their rulers perceived this Asian territory in a more or less coherent framework. This work studies the changes in their perception of the Kingdom of Siarn as it evolved from the earliest mythical references, in a long process that was neither uniform nor reliant merely on the receipt of data. Focusing on these early perceptions, this study notes the Iberians' different reactions to this new knowledge, the role of individuals and how the parallelprocess of their own budding national identities affected theoutcome. Introduction The Castilians and Portuguese shared similar conceptions about the "Far East" in the Middle Ages. During the Renaissance they were in a privileged position to obtain deeper knowledge about the territories in that region, their rulers and forms of government. Due to the great navigations, they established direct contact. After the Portuguese settled in Malacca in 1511 and the Castilians in the Philippines in 1565, those contacts became frequent. Hence the medieval cognitive framework used to interpret data related to Siarn was replaced by the Iberians earlier than by other Europeans. But this external process coincided with an internal evolution of the Iberians' own identities, both as individuals and as members of a society. Natural curiosity to learn about new lands and peoples, coupled with advances in science, navigation and travel, made many question traditional Christian beliefs about the world created by God for the first time.

    POTTERY FROM JĀ M 107 POTTERY FROM JĀM: A MEDIAEVAL CERAMIC CORPUS FROM AFGHANISTAN By Alison L. Gascoigne University of Southampton with a contribution by Rebecca Bridgman University of Cambridge Abstract This paper presents preliminary results of field recording of ceramic material from Jām, Ghūr province, Afghanistan, a site which has been associated with Fīrūzkūh, the summer capital of the Ghurid dynasty. A fabric series and catalogue of forms is presented, in addition to the results of some initial scientific analyses. Comparisons have been drawn with corpora from other sites in Afghanistan, Iran and Central Asia, and the significance of the material is discussed in light of the regional and chronological significance of assemblages from this area.
