  • Representing Talented Women in Eighteenth-Century Chinese Painting: Thirteen Female Disciples Seeking Instruction at the Lake Pavilion
    REPRESENTING TALENTED WOMEN IN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY CHINESE PAINTING: THIRTEEN FEMALE DISCIPLES SEEKING INSTRUCTION AT THE LAKE PAVILION By Copyright 2016 Janet C. Chen Submitted to the graduate degree program in Art History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson Marsha Haufler ________________________________ Amy McNair ________________________________ Sherry Fowler ________________________________ Jungsil Jenny Lee ________________________________ Keith McMahon Date Defended: May 13, 2016 The Dissertation Committee for Janet C. Chen certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: REPRESENTING TALENTED WOMEN IN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY CHINESE PAINTING: THIRTEEN FEMALE DISCIPLES SEEKING INSTRUCTION AT THE LAKE PAVILION ________________________________ Chairperson Marsha Haufler Date approved: May 13, 2016 ii Abstract As the first comprehensive art-historical study of the Qing poet Yuan Mei (1716–97) and the female intellectuals in his circle, this dissertation examines the depictions of these women in an eighteenth-century handscroll, Thirteen Female Disciples Seeking Instructions at the Lake Pavilion, related paintings, and the accompanying inscriptions. Created when an increasing number of women turned to the scholarly arts, in particular painting and poetry, these paintings documented the more receptive attitude of literati toward talented women and their support in the social and artistic lives of female intellectuals. These pictures show the women cultivating themselves through literati activities and poetic meditation in nature or gardens, common tropes in portraits of male scholars. The predominantly male patrons, painters, and colophon authors all took part in the formation of the women’s public identities as poets and artists; the first two determined the visual representations, and the third, through writings, confirmed and elaborated on the designated identities.

  • The Wheelbarrow (Edited from Wikipedia)
    The Wheelbarrow (Edited from Wikipedia) SUMMARY A wheelbarrow is a small hand-propelled vehicle, usually with just one wheel, designed to be pushed and guided by a single person using two handles at the rear, or by a sail to push the ancient wheelbarrow by wind. The term "wheelbarrow" is made of two words: "wheel" and "barrow." "Barrow" is a derivation of the Old English "bearwe" which was a device used for carrying loads. The wheelbarrow is designed to distribute the weight of its load between the wheel and the operator so enabling the convenient carriage of heavier and bulkier loads than would be possible were the weight carried entirely by the operator. As such it is a second-class lever. Traditional Chinese wheelbarrows, however, had a central wheel supporting the whole load. Use of wheelbarrows is common in the construction industry and in gardening. Typical capacity is approximately 100 liters (4 cubic feet) of material. A two-wheel type is more stable on level ground, while the almost universal one-wheel type has better maneuverability in small spaces, on planks or when tilted ground would throw the load off balance. The use of one wheel also permits greater control of the deposition of the load on emptying. HISTORY The earliest wheelbarrows with archaeological evidence in the form of a one-wheel cart come from 2nd century Han Dynasty Emperor Hui's tomb murals and brick tomb reliefs. The painted tomb mural of a man pushing a wheelbarrow was found in a tomb at Chengdu, Sichuan province, dated precisely to 118 AD.

  • Circumventing Transparency: Extra-Legal Exemptions from Freedom of Information and Judicial Review in China
    Circumventing Transparency: Extra-Legal Exemptions from Freedom of Information and Judicial Review in China Yongxi Chen* INTRODUCTION The 2007 Regulation on Open Government Information (ROGI) established a right of access to information in China, thereby raising expectations that a freedom of information (FOI) regime is now established to increase transparency in a country with an ingrained culture of secrecy. 1 The general, and legally enforceable, right afforded by the ROGI was seen as having the potential to provide an unprecedented channel by which the public could monitor and check on the government. However, the old regimes, controlling the flow of information in the Chinese party-state, persist despite the regulation’s entry into effect on May 1, 2008. The government bureaucracy has also designed measures to restrict the inconvenient effects of the ROGI. Together, these old regimes and administrative measures have exerted a considerable impact on the nascent right of access to information, but have largely been ignored by the scholarly literature. This article explores the complicated relation between the ROGI and the norms deriving from the various authorities with information control powers, and reviews the role of the Chinese courts in settling the conflicts therein and thus affecting the outcomes of transparency reform. Settling conflicts between FOI law and secrecy norms is crucial to the realization of such law’s potential to enhance democratic accountability. FOI law is significant primarily because it seeks to establish disclosure, as the rule, and non-disclosure as the exception. To ensure strict observance of that * Yongxi Chen is a Postdoctoral Fellow, Faculty of Law at The University of Hong Kong.

  • Sichuan Information
    Sichuan Information Overview Sichuan is well known throughout the world for its spicy cuisine, the famed Panda bear, and more. Located in the southwestern part of China, the province covers an area of 185,410 square miles (480,000 sq km), making it the nation’s 5th largest province. Its population ranks 3rd among provinces with over 87,250,000 people. The capital and largest city, Chengdu, is located centrally just east of the sharp rise of the Tibetan Plateau. Sichuan Geography Sichuan province is located in western central China. The eastern portion of the province has countless winding and spectacular rivers, most of them tributaries flowing southward to the Yangtze (Chang Jiang) — including the Min River. The western border with Tibet (Xizang Zizhiqu) follows the basin between the north-south running Ningjing and Shaluli mountain ranges in the west and east respectively. Sichuan also shares a border with Qinghai in the northwest and Shaanxi in the northeast. East of the Shaluli range, the Daxue range runs roughly parallel. East of the Dadu River from Daxue Shan, the Qionglai Mountains run northeast with the eastern edge falling sharply and ending the Tibetan Plateau. South of Qionglai Shan the Tibetan Plateau ends similarly with the southeast running Daliang Mountains. Sichuan also borders Hubei, Hunan, and Gansu provinces. Sichuan Demographics Sichuan is 95% Han. Yi comprise 2.6% and Tibetan make up 1.5%. Qiang compose 0.4% of the population. Sichuan History Sichuan province entered Chinese dynastic history under the first unification of China during the Qin Dynasty (221 BC – 206 BC).

  • 1000CP and Create a Tale That Will Stand the Test of Time
    By Tyr Alexander Version 1.5 Welcome to feudal China. For four hundred years, the Han dynasty has ruled the land. Underneath the Han, China knew an age of peace and prosperity. However, like all things, it must one day end. The court eunuchs have usurped imperial authority, not only deceiving the emperor but promoting corrupt officials and persecuting virtuous ones. The people suffered greatly underneath the eunuch's corruption. But it was Zhang Jiao, a Taoist monk, who hammered in the first nail into the Han's coffin when he formed the Yellow Turban Army. With many dissatisfied peasants flocking to his banner, Zhang Jiao led the Yellow Turbans in revolt against the Han Emperor. Heroes and villains alike took up arms to either quell the chaos or prosper from it. No greater heroes arose during this time than Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan. The leaders of Shu-Han, Cao Wei, and Sun Wu respectively. These three men's destinies were intertwined together. Clashing, unifying and more often conspiring against each other, it was their actions that defined the Three Kingdoms period. While neither of these men nor the legacies they left behind would unite the land, their stories are being retold to this day. You now enter China, for good or ill. Will you join the chaos and prosper as the world around you burns? Will you stand up for righteousness and suppress the chaos, restoring the Han Dynasty to its former glory? Will you usurp the land for your own glory and force all the feudal lords to kowtow to your might? Or will you be a roaming vagabond merely going to and fro without a care in the world? Take this 1000CP And create a tale that will stand the test of time.
