    THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PRACTICES OF SCRIPTURAL ECONOMY: COMPILING AND COPYING A SEVENTH-CENTURY CHINESE BUDDHIST ANTHOLOGY A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE DIVINITY SCHOOL IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY ALEXANDER ONG HSU CHICAGO, ILLINOIS AUGUST 2018 © Copyright by Alexander Ong Hsu, 2018. All rights reserved. Dissertation Abstract: Practices of Scriptural Economy: Compiling and Copying a Seventh-Century Chinese Buddhist Anthology By Alexander Ong Hsu This dissertation reads a seventh-century Chinese Buddhist anthology to examine how medieval Chinese Buddhists practiced reducing and reorganizing their voluminous scriptural tra- dition into more useful formats. The anthology, A Grove of Pearls from the Garden of Dharma (Fayuan zhulin ), was compiled by a scholar-monk named Daoshi (?–683) from hundreds of Buddhist scriptures and other religious writings, listing thousands of quotations un- der a system of one-hundred category-chapters. This dissertation shows how A Grove of Pearls was designed by and for scriptural economy: it facilitated and was facilitated by traditions of categorizing, excerpting, and collecting units of scripture. Anthologies like A Grove of Pearls selectively copied the forms and contents of earlier Buddhist anthologies, catalogs, and other compilations; and, in turn, later Buddhists would selectively copy from it in order to spread the Buddhist dharma. I read anthologies not merely to describe their contents but to show what their compilers and copyists thought they were doing when they made and used them. A Grove of Pearls from the Garden of Dharma has often been read as an example of a Buddhist leishu , or “Chinese encyclopedia.” But the work’s precursors from the sixth cen- tury do not all fit neatly into this genre because they do not all use lei or categories consist- ently, nor do they all have encyclopedic breadth like A Grove of Pearls.

    Fool in the Mountains Canadian International School, Ng, Emily - 15 He was late. Chen Jun Lang, top freelance travel journalist dubbed the next Bob Woodward, was late. How was he supposed to know he had to reply to a dozen more messages from his boss? Downing the cold coffee with one hand and struggling on his windbreaker over his neon yellow T-shirt with the other, his feet found their way into his hiking boots. He proceeded to strap his fanny pack and slung his trusty backpack over his shoulders, locking his hotel room door behind him. He blew down the staircase to the first floor and made a beeline for the exit and threw open the door, pasting on a half apologetic, half sheepish grin— Wind gusted past him, stirring fallen leaves across the plain concrete ground. The entrance was empty. Junlang furrowed his eyebrows. His private tour guide for today’s trip to Huangshan, or Yellow Mountain, was nowhere to be seen. Whipping his phone from his fanny pack, he dialed Mr Fan. The guide picked up after seven rings. “Hello sir?” “Hi Mr Fan! Where are you right now? I can’t see you at the hotel entrance and it’s nine fifteen already. You know, if you’re not coming, I will have to ask for a refund. I’m sure you wouldn’t want that to happen, would you?” “Mr Chen —” “I prefer Woodward.” “Yes, sir. Mr Woodward, I am sincerely sorry. I cannot be your guide to Huangshan. I have a family emergency to attend to.” Junlang’s eyebrows shot up in surprise.

BALTIMORE, MD., U. S. A. PREFACE In the fall of 191 1 my wife and I, together with a number of missionaries bound for West China, boarded the steamship Siberia at San Francisco and started for Shanghai. Though radiograms were received en route stating that China was in a state of revolution, we went on to Shanghai, where we rented a building in the British con- cession. There we lived and studied the Chinese language until the revolution was over and the country was again peaceful. We then journeyed to Szechwan Province, where we spent most of our time until the late spring of 1948. After being stationed for 20 years at Suifu ^M) riow I-pin, I was transferred to Chengtu^^, the capital of the province. At I-pin I gradually assumed responsibility for missionary work, but continued to study the language, completing the 5-year course being given for new missionaries. Included in this course were the Three- word Classic, the Four Books of Confucius and Mencius, the Sacred Edict, and the Fortunate Union. Later I also read and studied the Five Classics of Confucius. I found in these books high moral and spiritual ideals and teachings and began to have a wholesome respect for Chinese learning and culture.

This article was commissioned by Lingua Franca. Introduction The proliferation of “daily-use” encyclopedias in late Ming China is indicative of one of the major developments of the commercial boom of the period: the increased production of texts at least purporting to supply practical information useful in daily life to a broad population of readers. These encyclopedias drew no distinctions between popular and refined content, and their intended audience included all four classes of people — that is, scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants — in the orthodox definition of the Chinese social order. Compiled and published in geographically scattered publishing sites, they often had a distinct regional character. They were generally written in simple classical Chinese or the vernacular.

Virtually every part of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) now reports to different leaders, has had its mission and Chairman Xi Remakes the PLA Xi Remakes Chairman responsibilities changed, has lost or gained subordinate units, or has undergone a major internal reorganization. Drawing on papers presented at two conferences co-organized by the U.S. National Defense University, RAND, and Taiwan’s Council REFORMS MILITARY CHINESE ASSESSING of Advanced Policy Studies, this edited volume brings together some of the world’s best experts on the Chinese military to analyze the various dimensions of the reforms in detail and assess their implications for the PLA’s ability to conduct joint operations, for the Chinese Communist Party’s control of the army, and for civil-military integration. The contributors review the drivers and strategic context under- pinning the reform effort, explore the various dimensions of PLA efforts to build a force capable of conducting joint operations, con- sider the implications for the PLA services, and examine Xi Jinping’s role in driving the reforms through and using them to strengthen control over the military. The chapters chronicle successes and outstanding problems in the reform effort, and consider what the net effect will be as the PLA strives to become a “world- class” military by mid-century, if not much sooner.

  • Borges and the Universe of Culture

    Borges and the Universe of Culture

    BORGES AND THE UNIVERSE OF CULTURE w Daniel Balderston ome five years ago, when Mike Gonzalez, Ana López and I were beginning work on what is about to be the Routledge S Encyclopedia of Contemporary Latin American and Caribbean Cul- tures, we invited a noted scholar of the circum-Caribbean to join us as a consultant editor. He eventually accepted the invitation, but his first response was dismissive: why would he want to be in- volved in a “Borgesian encyclopedia”? This--coming from a social scientist -was obviously intended as a cutting remark, in which “Borgesian” was synonymous with “nonsensical” or “useless.” Though as a Borges scholar I do not share this assumption, I think it is worth reflecting now on the ways in which the world of Borges and that of the encyclopedia interact. I suppose we have Michel Foucault to thank for the notion that that relation must necessarily be marked by nonsense, by the oppo- site of Cartesian order and sense. When he quotes the famous sen- tence about a perhaps apocryphal passage from a Chinese encyclo- pedia from Borges’s “El idioma analítico de John Wilkins,” it is clearly with the assumption that Borges was crucial to his reflection on modes of classification because Borges radically destabilizes these ideas, thereby making his critical reflection on the Enlighten- Variaciones Borges 14 (2002) 176 DANIEL BALDERSTON ment project of the “encyclopédistes” -and their many modern progeny--possible. In that famous sentence, Borges writes: Esas ambigüedades, redundancias y deficiencias recuerdan las que el doctor Franz Kuhn atribuye a cierta enciclopedia china que se titu- la Emporio celestial de conocimientos benévolos.
