Japanese Feudalism & European Feudalism The way I see feudalism in Europe is that it is quite bitter and harsh to the peasants who work hard to provide food. For example in European Feudalism the peasants are taxed heavily to use a mill & baker and must pay a tithe to the priest which is equal to 1/10th of a peasant's income. The peasants live in horrible conditions such as crowded cottages with dirt floors, and straw beds and due to poor diet, disease, and malnutrition their life expectancy is a minimum of 35 years. Also for the peasants, there is very little social mobility.For instance, peasant cannot work his/her way up to a lord or knight. They generally accept their lives as port of God's plan. Hundred Years' War Through out this war I think the English proved to be a formidable opponent since the French possessed more financial and military resources as the most powerful state and western Europe let managed to tip balance into their favor. Even with these differences the English army held their ground, successfully using longbows to stop cavalry charges, proved to be repeatedly victorious over the larger French forces. Special Guest: Marco Polo Marco Polo Marco Polo is an extraordinary fellow who made travels along the Silk Road. He excelled and achieved more than all the other travelers and during his journey through Asia he reached further than anyone else. He traveled through out China and returned to tell the tale alive. Macro Polo's Travel The brothers Maffeo and Niccilo Polo traded through Surai for a year. Unexpectedly, a civil war broke out whcih made it impossible to return the same route they came. They then came to a solution to make a detour across the east to avoid the war. However they found themselves lost and were rescued in Bukhara of a emissary from Hulagu Khan. The Mongol ambassador persuaded the brothers that Hulagu Khan would be pleased to meet the brothers. Upon contacting the Great Khan, Marco Polo entered the court of the powerful Mongol ruler who dispatched him on trips to help administer the realm. After his journey, he wrote a well known book called Travels of Marco Polo which tells the tale of his journey throughout Asia.

  • Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907)
    Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907) BuYun Chen Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 BuYun Chen All rights reserved ABSTRACT Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907) BuYun Chen During the Tang dynasty, an increased capacity for change created a new value system predicated on the accumulation of wealth and the obsolescence of things that is best understood as fashion. Increased wealth among Tang elites was paralleled by a greater investment in clothes, which imbued clothes with new meaning. Intellectuals, who viewed heightened commercial activity and social mobility as symptomatic of an unstable society, found such profound changes in the vestimentary landscape unsettling. For them, a range of troubling developments, including crisis in the central government, deep suspicion of the newly empowered military and professional class, and anxiety about waste and obsolescence were all subsumed under the trope of fashionable dressing. The clamor of these intellectuals about the widespread desire to be “current” reveals the significant space fashion inhabited in the empire – a space that was repeatedly gendered female. This dissertation considers fashion as a system of social practices that is governed by material relations – a system that is also embroiled in the politics of the gendered self and the body. I demonstrate that this notion of fashion is the best way to understand the process through which competition for status and self-identification among elites gradually broke away from the imperial court and its system of official ranks.

  • Flowers Bloom and Fall
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ASU Digital Repository Flowers Bloom and Fall: Representation of The Vimalakirti Sutra In Traditional Chinese Painting by Chen Liu A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved November 2011 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Claudia Brown, Chair Ju-hsi Chou Jiang Wu ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2011 ABSTRACT The Vimalakirti Sutra is one of the classics of early Indian Mahayana Buddhism. The sutra narrates that Vimalakirti, an enlightened layman, once made it appear as if he were sick so that he could demonstrate the Law of Mahayana Buddhism to various figures coming to inquire about his illness. This dissertation studies representations of The Vimalakirti Sutra in Chinese painting from the fourth to the nineteenth centuries to explore how visualizations of the same text could vary in different periods of time in light of specific artistic, social and religious contexts. In this project, about forty artists who have been recorded representing the sutra in traditional Chinese art criticism and catalogues are identified and discussed in a single study for the first time. A parallel study of recorded paintings and some extant ones of the same period includes six aspects: text content represented, mode of representation, iconography, geographical location, format, and identity of the painter. This systematic examination reveals that two main representational modes have formed in the Six Dynasties period (220-589): depictions of the Great Layman as a single image created by Gu Kaizhi, and narrative illustrations of the sutra initiated by Yuan Qian and his teacher Lu Tanwei.

  • PACIFIC WORLD Journal of the Institute of Buddhist Studies
    PACIFIC WORLD Journal of the Institute of Buddhist Studies Third Series Number 15 Fall 2013 SPECIAL SECTION: Graduate Student Symposium TITLE iii The Legendary Siege of Anxi: Myth, History, and Truth in Chinese Buddhism Geoffrey Goble Postdoctoral Fellow in East Asian Religions Washington University in St. Louis INTRODUCTION The figure of Vaiśravaṇa, the World-Protecting King of the North, is relatively familiar to scholars working in the field of East Asian Buddhism. He appears fairly early in the history of East Asian Buddhism and has played an outsized role throughout East Asia as a protector deity, often specializing in military conflict.1 The East Asian mythology of Vaiśravaṇa is often considered in relation to a rather well-known and widespread myth concerning the intervention of this deity on behalf of the Tang emperor Xuanzong (玄宗, r. 712–765) and at the command of the Esoteric Buddhist monk Amoghavajra (不空金剛, 704–774)—a tale that I refer to as the “Legendary Siege of Anxi.” In previous studies, the Legendary Siege of Anxi has been considered as an etiological myth ex- plaining practices contemporary with the source in which it appears, but bearing little if any relationship to actual historical events. The historical accuracy of the account is broadly rejected on the basis of discrepancies between the events it describes and those attested in in- dependent sources. Thus, rather than an accounting of events from the mid-eighth century, the tale has been read instead as evidence of practices current in China during the Song dynasty (960–1279).2 Here I would like to return to the Legendary Siege of Anxi and consider it anew by approaching the story as myth and as reflective of historical events, and by setting aside expectations and considerations rooted strictly in contemporary historiography, text-critical logical positiv- ism, and conceptions of genre literature.

  • CROSSING the BOUNDARIES: from “OUTSIDERS” to “INSIDERS” in EARLY-TANG DYNASTY CHINA by CHENG MA B.A., University Of
    CROSSING THE BOUNDARIES: FROM “OUTSIDERS” TO “INSIDERS” IN EARLY-TANG DYNASTY CHINA by CHENG MA B.A., University of California, Berkeley, 2015 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (History) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2017 © Cheng Ma, 2017 Abstract The Tang dynasty (618-907) captured scholars' attention as one of the most cosmopolitan empires in Chinese history because of its openness toward transcontinental and trans- regional cultural, economic, diplomatic and religious exchanges. The empire attracted a diverse group of foreign subjects within its political boundaries. To better understand the nature of the Tang dynasty, this thesis takes a close look at the dynasty’s foreign policies toward this special group of foreigners. More specifically, it examines the life trajectories of individuals who were born and originally lived outside of the boundaries of the Tang in the north and northwest but later served in very high positions in the Tang bureaucratic system. Conventional understanding of the Tang dynasty has long included the existence of such varieties of political and ethnic groups within the Tang. However, scholars diverge on the Tang dynasty’s criteria of incorporating and treating foreigners in the regime. By scrutinizing each individuals' lives, this thesis argues that despite the emphasis on ethnic differences and political loyalty in Tang discourses, the Tang dynasty accepted foreigners primarily based on pragmatic concerns, namely, whether individuals could prove themselves useful to the dynasty. Differences in genealogy, culture and political loyalty were mainly used as rhetorical weapons against foreigners when they were no longer useful to the dynasty.

    Chapter 4 Tang’s Internal Evolution and its Foreign Policy Before discussing in detail the relations between China and its principal foreign rivals during Tang, we need to take an overview of the internal evolution of China during these centuries. We must understand the changes that took place in the internal power structure to understand the ways in which these changes influenced the formation of policy and the making of particular decisions dealing with external problems as they arose. Gaozu: Dynastic Consolidation Even more than Emperor Wen of Sui, Gaozu, the dynastic founder of Tang, displayed a cautious, pragmatic realism in his conduct of foreign affairs. Unlike Yang Jian, who was already at the center of power when he took the ambitious step of usurping the throne, Li Yuan was merely a provincial governor who, despite his aristocratic background, would probably have never conceived the ambition to supplant the Sui dynasty if it had not been for the anarchic breakdown that resulted from Emperor Yang ’s obsession with conquering Koguryo. While the standard account pictures him as having to be reluctantly pushed into taking up arms by his brilliant son, Li Shimin, the role of the future Taizong may have been exaggerated by historians endeavoring to glorify the latter’s achievements. Nevertheless, the standard accoimt seems in general consistent with Gaozu ’s character as reflected in the decisions he took in dealing with foreign powers. As we shall see, while he was in command of affairs, Gaozu showed little compunction in adopting a sub­ missive attitude towards the Turks and in giving up pretensions to suze­ rainty over Korea.

  • Relations Between the Uighurs and Tang China, 744-840
    RELATIONS BETWEEN THE UIGHURS AND TANG CHINA, 744-840 Colin MACKERRAS This article focuses on the relations between the Uighur state of the period 744 to 840 and China under the Tang dynasty and their mutual impact. The article covers four aspects of the relationship: the military, diplomatic, economic, as well as alliances through marriage.1 Although the influence was mutual, that from China on the Uighur state was greater than the other way around. This was hardly surprising given the imbalance between the size of the populations and age of the cultures. Moreover, not all this influence from China was specifically Chinese, since a major element was in the form of Manicheism, which is Persian in origin and not a religion the Chinese liked. The Uighur state of 744 to 840 was among the earliest established by the Turkic peoples and forms a major milestone in the development of Turkic civilization. At that time the Uighurs controlled a vast territory, their capital city being Karabalghasun, which was located on the High Orkhon River in what is now the Republic of Mongolia.2 They were a warlike people, among whom the horse was a particularly important cultural icon for a range of reasons, including above all its use for transport.3 Department of International Business and Studies, Griffith University, Australia 1This article is slightly adapted from ‘Uygur-Tang Relations, 744-840’, Central Asian Survey Vol. 19, No. 2, June 2000, pp. 223-34. 2On the extent of the Uighur state and its ethnic composition, neither of which were entirely constant over the ninety-six years of its existence, see Colin Mackerras, 'The Uighurs', in Denis Sinor, ed., The Cambridge History of Early Inner Asia (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1990), pp.

  • 1. Chinese Warfare in Ancient Times
    CHAPTER 3: THE BRUTAL HISTORY OF CHINESE WARFARE 1. Chinese warfare in ancient times The Chinese civilization, whose source was the Yellow River civilization, placed no restrictions whatsoever on warfare. The farmers who cultivated the central plains, an area blessed with fertile soil, were the victims of frequent attacks by mounted nomads, who were seasoned warriors; no sooner had one war ended than the next began. As time passed and competition for resources mounted, warfare intensified, eventually extending from the central plains to all of China. In this chapter I will demonstrate exactly how brutal and abhorrent Chinese warfare and similar upheavals were in ancient times, referring to historical records. We are told through legends that when the Chinese civilization dawned, there were eight rulers (three sovereigns and five emperors). The years during which three of the five emperors (Yao, Shun, and Yu) ruled were a sort of golden age. Taming the waters of the Yellow River to prevent flooding was a monumental task, which was inherited from the Yao by the Shun, and then from the Shun by the Yun. After the Yu came the Xia dynasty. During the reign of Jie, the 17th Xia ruler, the Shang ruler Tang wrested the throne away from Jie, and founded the Shang dynasty. Then, during the reign of Zhou, the 30th Shang ruler, the Wu overthrew the Shang, initiating the Zhou dynasty, a little before 1000 BC. The years between 770 BC, when the Zhou moved their capital to Luoyi, and 403 BC are referred to as the Spring and Autumn period.

Three general periods of accounting innovation are identified which coincide with the establishment of certain dynas­ ties. Some conclusions are then drawn about the main reasons un­ derlying accounting changes occurred during this long period of time. Also examined are relationships between the long-term evolu­ tionary conditions for the growth of Chinese accounting.
