The work of Meng Chiao is a special gift. Like Li He, Li Poems of the Late Tang kept busy in the pleasure quarters, grumbling about not getting by and not getting noticed.

New copy - Usually dispatched within 4 working days. Graham has a long introduction, modestly titled "The Translation of Chinese Poetry", with several great examples of how difficult translating this stuff is, both on the formal word-to-word level and on the higher meaning level. Thus, the genre may be divided into several major more-or-less chronological divisions, based on developmental stages or stylistic groupings sometimes even on personal friendships between poets. Ah, subtle, dense, allusive, rich in sensory delight, there is nothing quite like Chinese poetry, even in translation. The peril of love is not in loving too often, A single evening can leave its wound in the soul. A few notes on pages. I have no idea if it has. Leaps from their nests.

Penguin Classics. You know the saying: There's no time like the present Just as the eccentric hills and remote dwellings of much of Chinese painting can seem repetitive, many of the standard tropes of Chinese poetry--the observations of nature, the longing for a distant friend or lover--can, in unskillful hands, make poems seem very much alike. Maybe I'm just not suited for translated poetry from China. Graham, Poems of the Late Tang this book is very skillful at selecting, translating and explaining these poems.

    Christian Women and the Making of a Modern Chinese Family: an Exploration of Nü duo 女鐸, 1912–1951 Zhou Yun A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University February 2019 © Copyright by Zhou Yun 2019 All Rights Reserved Except where otherwise acknowledged, this thesis is my own original work. Acknowledgements I would like to express my deep gratitude to my supervisor Dr. Benjamin Penny for his valuable suggestions and constant patience throughout my five years at The Australian National University (ANU). His invitation to study for a Doctorate at Australian Centre on China in the World (CIW) not only made this project possible but also kindled my academic pursuit of the history of Christianity. Coming from a research background of contemporary Christian movements among diaspora Chinese, I realise that an appreciation of the present cannot be fully achieved without a thorough study of the past. I was very grateful to be given the opportunity to research the Republican era and in particular the development of Christianity among Chinese women. I wish to thank my two co-advisers—Dr. Wei Shuge and Dr. Zhu Yujie—for their time and guidance. Shuge’s advice has been especially helpful in the development of my thesis. Her honest critiques and insightful suggestions demonstrated how to conduct conscientious scholarship. I would also like to extend my thanks to friends and colleagues who helped me with my research in various ways. Special thanks to Dr. Caroline Stevenson for her great proof reading skills and Dr. Paul Farrelly for his time in checking the revised parts of my thesis.

  • Appendices, Notes
    APPENDIX 1: Sample Confessions CH'U SSU ygo was a sect teacher from a village southeast of Peking. He was arrested in the fall of 1813. The rebels had considered and then rejected a plan for Ch'u Ssu to lead his men in an attack upon the imperial entourage as it returned from Jehol, and Ch'u was interrogated repeatedly about this plan. His various confessions about this and other matters, taken together with those of some of his associates, illustrate the kinds of information contained in con­ fessions, the reliability of such testimony, and the judicial process that produced them. A. First Interrogation of Ch'ii Ssu Memorial from the Grand Council and the Board of Punishments (KKCK 207.1, CC 18/9/24): On 9/23 we received a report from the censors for the south city [of Peking] saying that they had seized the criminal Ch'ii Ssu and [others]. They have been interrogated. The text of Ch'ii Ssu's confession is attached. Confession of Ch'ii Ssu (KKCK 208.1, 18/9/24) From T'ung district. Age thirty-six. Mother Miss Meng. Older brother Ch'ii Wen-hsiang. Wife Miss Ts'ai. My son Ch'ang-yu-r is ten. I was born the son of Ch'u Te-hsin but then I was adopted by Ch'u Wu. When I was nineteen, Liu Ti-wu brought me and Ch'ii Wen­ hsiang to take Ku Liang (who has since died) as our teacher. I entered the sect and recited the eight characters "Eternal Progenitor in Our Original Home in the World of True Emptiness." On the 14th day of the 8th month [of 1813] Lin Ch'ing told Liu Ti-wu to put me in charge of one to two hundred men and lead them to Yen-chiao [outside Peking] to rise up there.

  • Dinero Chino En El Museo Oriental De Valladolid
    Dinero chino en el Museo Oriental de Valladolid Por Blas Sierra de la Calle, OSA El Museo Oriental, del Real Colegio de los Padres Agustinos, en Valla­ dolid, es la mejor colección de arte del Extremo Oriente actualmente exis­ tente en España. Es un "Punto de encuentro" privilegiado entre Oriente y Occidente. Consta de catorce salas magníficamente instaladas. Comienza con una introducción histórica, a la que siguen nueve salas dedicadas a China y cua­ tro a Filipinas. De los varios miles de monedas chinas de sus fondos, están expuestas en la sala N° 6 más de un millar. La cronología de las mismas abarca desde la época de los Reinos Combatientes (475-221 a. C.) hasta 1912. I. HISTORIA DE LA COLECCIÓN Esta importante colección tiene su origen en la presencia de los misione­ ros agustinos en China, donde llegó el agustino navarro, Fr. Martín de Rada en 1575. Tras el trabajo apostólico en Kuan-Tung y Kuang-Si en los ss. XVII y XVIII, en 1879 se abrieron nuevas misiones en Hunan (Ilustración n° 1). 1.- La formación de la colección Distintos misioneros anónimos fueron coleccionando, ya desde finales del s. XIX, algunos ejemplares raros de monedas chinas, que enviaron a Valladolid. De hecho, a principios de siglo, ya hay constancia de la existencia de algunas monedas antiguas. Pero la mayor parte de la colección se debe al P. Pedro Pelaz. 368 B. SIERRA DE LA CALLE 2 Este ilustre misionero en China, había nacido el 17 de febrero de 1878, en Villanueva de la Peña, provincia de Palencia.

The burial ground was made under the Pokrovka culture (from the 9th to the 13th centuries). However the Yongle Tongbao, which was first minted in 1408, was discovered in the mound No. 30 of Krasnokurovka burial ground.

  • The Transformation of Yunnan in Ming China from the Dali Kingdom to Imperial Province
    The Transformation of Yunnan in Ming China From the Dali Kingdom to Imperial Province Edited by Christian Daniels and Jianxiong Ma First published 2020 ISBN: 978-0-367-35336-0 (hbk) ISBN: 978-0-429-33078-0 (ebk) 1 Salt, grain and the change of deities in early Ming western Yunnan Zhao Min (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) Funder: Hong Kong University of Science and Technology 1 Salt, grain and the change of deities in early Ming western Yunnan Zhao Min Introduction The Ming conquest of 1382 marked the beginning of the transformation of local society in Yunnan. The Mongol-Yuan relied heavily on the Duan 段, descendants of the royal family of the Dali kingdom (937–1253), to administrate local society in western Yunnan. The first Ming Emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang, continued many Mon- gol-Yuan administrative policies in Yunnan. His practice of appointing local ethnic leaders as native officialstuguan ( 土官) to administer ethnic populations is well known. In addition, he implemented novel measures that became catalysts for change at the level of local society. One such case was the establishment of Guards and Battalions (weisuo 衛所) to control local society and to prevent unrest by indi- genous peoples, particularly those inhabiting the borders with Southeast Asia. The Mongol-Yuan had also stationed troops in Yunnan. However, the Ming innovated by establishing a system for delivering grain to the troops. The early Ming state solved the problem of provisioning the Guards and the Battalions in border areas through two methods. The first was to set up military colonies tuntian( 屯田), while demobilising seven out of every ten soldiers to grow food for the army.

  • [Type Text] a Geological Reappraisal of the Preesall Saltfield, Lancashire
    A geological reappraisal of the Preesall Saltfield, Lancashire, United Kingdom: recognizing geological factors relevant to gas storage Edward Hough, David J Evans and J Paul Williamson British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, UK Abstract Bedded salts are characteristic of halite developed in onshore UK, and are hosts or proposed hosts for underground gas storage sites in Cheshire, Dorset, Lancashire and Yorkshire. Geological assessments of proposed storage sites provide information that influences aspects of the planning, design and construction of facilities, including cavern and infrastructure placement and operational parameters. The Preesall Saltfield is located near Blackpool in north-west England and has been an area of interest for the underground storage of gas in solution mined caverns in thick bedded halite for over a decade. Interest in this area continues, driven by UK Government’s need for additional gas storage in a bid to stabilize supply as the UK makes a transition to become a net importer of natural gas. A comprehensive reassessment of the Preesall Saltfield has greatly improved the understanding of the structure, geology and processes that affect the area, providing key data that may influence the design of a proposed UGS facility. 3D modelling of the saltfield reveals it to be a north-trending half- graben, bound to the west by the Burn Naze Fault, preserving some of the thickest known halite deposits found onshore in the UK. Wet rockhead conditions are developed in the eastern part of the saltfield and were exacerbated during the 1900s due to poor brining techniques. Further migration of wet rockhead, which is now thought to be under a protective ‘brine blanket’, is unlikely if the current hydrogeological conditions persist.

However, * The initial research of this paper was presented in Chinese at the International Conference on Currency and Commerce in Ancient China, held at the Hang Seng Management College, Hong Kong, in July 2015. Its expanded version was presented in English at the Western Branch meeting of the American Oriental Society in October 2015. I am extremely grateful for the research support the Hang Seng Management College has generously provided for editing this paper and for allowing me to attend conferences to seek advice from international scholars. My deepest gratitude must go to one of the anonymous readers, who reviewed this paper twice and provided up to twelve pages of comments. Without these comments, the paper could not have reached its present form. I would also like to thank Professors Armin Selbitschka, William H.
