They also manage their armies- comprising of troops infantrymen who fight on foot, cavalrymen who fight on horseback, charioteers who fight using horse-drawn chariots, artillerymen who use long-ranged artillery, and sailors and marines who fight using wooden ships- through actions such as recruitment, collection of food and supplies, and training exercises to ensure that their soldiers are well-trained, well-fed, well-armed, and well-supplied.

Dynamics of Disintegration: The Later Han Empire (25-220CE) & Its Northwestern Frontier Abstract As a frontier region of the Qin-Han (221BCE-220CE) empire, the northwest was a new territory to the Chinese realm. Until the Later Han (25-220CE) times, some portions of the northwestern region had only been part of imperial soil for one hundred years. Its coalescence into the Chinese empire was a product of long-term expansion and conquest, which arguably defined the egionr 's military nature. Furthermore, in the harsh natural environment of the region, only tough people could survive, and unsurprisingly, the region fostered vigorous warriors. Mixed culture and multi-ethnicity featured prominently in this highly militarized frontier society, which contrasted sharply with the imperial center that promoted unified cultural values and stood in the way of a greater degree of transregional integration. As this project shows, it was the northwesterners who went through a process of political peripheralization during the Later Han times played a harbinger role of the disintegration of the empire and eventually led to the breakdown of the early imperial system in Chinese history.

„… Und Es Dennoch Tut“
„Ist das nicht jener, der weiß, dass es nicht zu schaffen ist, und es dennoch tut?“ Noch Jahrtausende später klingen die Verwunderung „… und es dennoch tut“ und auch Bewunderung in dieser Charakterisierung des Konfuzius durch den Wächter am Steinernen Tor zu uns herüber und lassen uns ebenso staunen: Das Dilemma der menschlichen Existenz in voller Klarheit zu sehen, zu wissen, dass das eigene Tun endlich ist Studien zur Geistesgeschichte, und beschränkt, vielleicht sogar vergeblich, und sich dennoch mit Literatur und Kultur Chinas ganzer Energie darauf einzulassen, ist eine im besten Sinne des Wor- tes nachahmenswerte Geisteshaltung. Sie ist dies genauso im aka- demischen Spannungsfeld zwischen endlichem Dasein und einem sich stets erweiternden unendlichen Wissen. Im Besonderen passt Festschrift sie zu jemandem, der sich auf das Wagnis einlässt, seinen Weg in der gewaltigen terra incognita der Sinologie zu finden. Kein Wunder, dass für Karl-Heinz Pohl diesen Satz aus dem Lunyu als sein persönliches Motto angenommen hat. Karl-Heinz Pohl Das breite Spektrum der Beiträge zu dieser Festschrift veranschau- licht, dass dieses Wagnis, über die Erkenntnis des eigenen Vermö- Pohl Festschrift für Karl-Heinz gens hinaus mehr zu tun, sich durchaus auszahlen kann. Denn dass das Tun einen Wert an sich haben kann, zeigt sich nicht zuletzt auch in der eingangs zitierten Lunyu-Passage: Denn schließlich ist der Ruf des Konfuzius sogar bis zu dem Torwächter vorgedrungen.

The Birth of Chinese Feminism Columbia & Ko, Eds
& liu e-yin zHen (1886–1920?) was a theo- ko Hrist who figured centrally in the birth , karl of Chinese feminism. Unlike her contem- , poraries, she was concerned less with China’s eds fate as a nation and more with the relation- . , ship among patriarchy, imperialism, capi- talism, and gender subjugation as global historical problems. This volume, the first translation and study of He-Yin’s work in English, critically reconstructs early twenti- eth-century Chinese feminist thought in a transnational context by juxtaposing He-Yin The Bir Zhen’s writing against works by two better- known male interlocutors of her time. The editors begin with a detailed analysis of He-Yin Zhen’s life and thought. They then present annotated translations of six of her major essays, as well as two foundational “The Birth of Chinese Feminism not only sheds light T on the unique vision of a remarkable turn-of- tracts by her male contemporaries, Jin h of Chinese the century radical thinker but also, in so Tianhe (1874–1947) and Liang Qichao doing, provides a fresh lens through which to (1873–1929), to which He-Yin’s work examine one of the most fascinating and com- responds and with which it engages.

Welcome to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Podcast. This Is Episode 12. We Ended the Last Episode with Dong Zhuo Having Been L
Welcome to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Podcast. This is episode 12. We ended the last episode with Dong Zhuo having been lured back to the capital thinking that the emperor is about to abdicate and give him the throne. And he kept thinking that despite a number of ominous signs along the way telling him otherwise. One of the wheels on his carriage broke. His horse started acting up. And then he heard some rather melancholy words in a children’s song. The credit for keeping this pretense going belongs to Li Su (4), the man who was sent to deliver the fake message to lure Dong Zhuo to his doom. At every turn, Li Su explained away what looked like bad omens and turned them into auspicious signs instead, and Dong Zhuo believed him. But the lyrics of the children’s song were not, as Li Su had said, foretelling Dong Zhuo’s rise to the throne. Instead, they foretold his downfall. The meaning of the words can’t be explained without actually seeing the Chinese characters, so instead of trying to explain it verbally on this podcast, I’ve posted a visual explanation on the website, so check it out. It’s a type of Chinese wordplay that we’ll see again later in the novel, and it’s pretty neat. So anyway, the next morning, Dong Zhuo set out for court. Along the way, he saw a Taoist priest, wearing a dark robe and a white headdress, carrying a long staff. Tied to the staff was a 10-foot-long piece of white cloth, and at the either end of the cloth was written the character for “mouth”.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract The thesis is about the relationship between gender and Chinese literary thought in the Republican period, focusing on the 1920s and early 1930s. It explores the ways in which gender was described as significant to literature in writings on literature such as literary theory, literary criticism, literary debates, and literary histories. It analyses how critics and literary historians related the gendered concepts "women's literature" (funu wenxue) and "women writers" (nuzuojia) to ideas of modernity and tradition, and to ideas of truth and authenticity in literature. Chapters One and Two establish that "women's literature" was often treated as separate or different from men's literature, and investigate the discourses which provided support for this position. Chapter One shows that traditional women’s poetry, as well as feminism, formed important contexts for Republican period views on gender in literature.

Between Heaven and Earth: Dual Accountability in Han China
Article Chinese Journal of Sociology 2015, Vol. 1(1) 56–87 ! The Author(s) 2015 Between heaven and Reprints and permissions: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav earth: Dual accountability DOI: 10.1177/2057150X14568768 in Han China chs.sagepub.com Miranda Brown and Yu Xie Abstract Scholars have noticed that centrally-appointed officials in imperial China were not only beholden to their superiors but also acted as brokers of local interests. We characterize such a structural position as ‘dual accountability’. Although accountability to superiors is readily understandable within the Weberian framework of bureaucratic hierarchy, the reasons behind local responsiveness bear explanation. This paper attempts to explain such responsiveness by investigating the larger ideological, structural, and institutional contexts of the Han dynasty (206 BCE–220 CE). We explore two existing explanations – practical necessity and ‘Confucian’ or classical paternalism – and add a new explan- ation of our own: the emphasis on virtuous reputations in the system of bureaucratic recruitment and promotion. Our argument is supported by empirical evidence from a range of sources, including administrative records and inscriptions on ancient stelae. More generally, we question Weber’s hypothesis that the Chinese imperial system of administration fit the ideal type of traditional bureaucracy, and we examine the rational bases underlying an ‘inefficient’ system that was in place for two millennia. Keywords dual accountability, localism, bureaucracy A ﬁeld commander must decide even against king’s orders.

In Pursuit of the Great Peace: Han Dynasty Classicism and the Making of Early Medieval Literati Culture Abstract This dissertation is focused on communities of people in the Han dynasty (205 B.C.-A.D. 220) who possessed the knowledge of a corpus of texts: the Five Classics. Previously scholars have understood the popularity of this corpus in the Han society as a result of stiff ideology and imperial propaganda. However, this approach fails to explain why the imperial government considered them effective to convey propaganda in the first place. It does not capture the diverse range of ideas in classicism. This dissertation concentrates on Han classicists and treats them as scholars who constantly competed for attention in intellectual communities and solved problems with innovative solutions that were plausible to their contemporaries. This approach explains the nature of the apocryphal texts, which scholars have previously referred to as shallow and pseudo-scientific.

Full, original, version of the review. The finally accepted, abridged, version will appear in the British Journal for the History of Mathematics, 2020, vol.35 issue 3 https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/tbsh21/current Cullen, Christopher. Heavenly Numbers. Astronomy and Authority in Early Imperial China. Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press, 2017. Christopher Cullen began his scholarly career as a specialist on the subject of early Chinese astronomy and mathematics with a paper published in the Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies in 1976: “A Chinese Eratosthenes of the flat earth: a study of a fragment of cosmology in Huai nan tzu.” As Cullen explained, he had been inspired to study a short passage of the ca. 120 BC 淮南子 Huai nan zi thanks to a “tantalizing reference” in Needham (SCC, III, 224). What Needham noted there was the fact that the Huai nan zi, an Early Han Daoist collection of essays on a wide variety of subjects, included an account of how gnomons and their shadows could be used to determine the height of the heavens, i.e. the distance to the sun from the (presumed to be flat) earth. Needham pointed out the similarity of the method used in the Huia nan zi to the one Eratosthenes had employed using two gnomons at Alexandria and Syene, a known distance to the south, to calculate the circumference of the of the earth, assumed to be spherical. The challenge Needham posed—that the account in the Huai nan zi was “distinctly obscure, and no satisfactory interpretation has yet bene made”—prompted Cullen to undertake his own thorough study of the text in question: My first efforts to understand the original text led me to the conclusion that it was unique in a number of ways and had points of interest that did not fully appear in the version of Maspero, 1929, 348 ff.
