Publicly Accessible Penn Dissertations. 98. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/98 This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/98 For more information, please contact [email protected]. Tradition and Transformation: Cataloguing Chinese Art in the Middle and Late Imperial Eras Abstract After obtaining sovereignty, a new emperor of China often gathers the imperial collections of previous dynasties and uses them as evidence of the legitimacy of the new regime. Some emperors go further, commissioning the compilation projects of bibliographies of books and catalogues of artistic works in their imperial collections not only as inventories but also for proclaiming their imperial power. The imperial collections of art symbolize political and cultural predominance, present contemporary attitudes toward art and connoisseurship, and reflect emperors’ personal taste for art. The attempt of this research project is to explore the practice of art cataloguing during two of the most important reign periods in imperial China: Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty (r. 1101-1125) and Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty (r. 1736-1795). Through examining the format and content of the selected painting, calligraphy, and bronze catalogues compiled by both emperors, features of each catalogue reveal the development of cataloguing imperial artistic collections.

  • Protection and Transmission of Chinese Nanyin by Prof
    Protection and Transmission of Chinese Nanyin by Prof. Wang, Yaohua Fujian Normal University, China Intangible cultural heritage is the memory of human historical culture, the root of human culture, the ‘energic origin’ of the spirit of human culture and the footstone for the construction of modern human civilization. Ever since China joined the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2004, it has done a lot not only on cognition but also on action to contribute to the protection and transmission of intangible cultural heritage. Please allow me to expatiate these on the case of Chinese nanyin(南音, southern music). I. The precious multi-values of nanyin decide the necessity of protection and transmission for Chinese nanyin. Nanyin, also known as “nanqu” (南曲), “nanyue” (南乐), “nanguan” (南管), “xianguan” (弦管), is one of the oldest music genres with strong local characteristics. As major musical genre, it prevails in the south of Fujian – both in the cities and countryside of Quanzhou, Xiamen, Zhangzhou – and is also quite popular in Taiwan, Hongkong, Macao and the countries of Southeast Asia inhabited by Chinese immigrants from South Fujian. The music of nanyin is also found in various Fujian local operas such as Liyuan Opera (梨园戏), Gaojia Opera (高甲戏), line-leading puppet show (提线木偶戏), Dacheng Opera (打城戏) and the like, forming an essential part of their vocal melodies and instrumental music. As the intangible cultural heritage, nanyin has such values as follows. I.I. Academic value and historical value Nanyin enjoys a reputation as “a living fossil of the ancient music”, as we can trace its relevance to and inheritance of Chinese ancient music in terms of their musical phenomena and features of musical form.

    2021 4th International Conference on Arts, Linguistics, Literature and Humanities (ICALLH 2021) A Brief Analysis of the Visual Language Features of Chinese Ink and Wash Landscape Paintings Lai Yingqin Dept of Ceramic Art, Quanzhou Vocational College of Arts and Crafts, Quanzhou, 362500, China Keywords: Chinese painting, Ink, Landscape, Visual language Abstract: Ink and wash can be connected into lines by brushing, rubbing, drawing, drawing, and drawing on rice paper, and the points can be connected into lines, and the lines can be gathered into surfaces, and the surface can be transformed into a space with both virtual and real. Ink and wash landscape paintings are shaped in this way. A visual language that speaks less and more. It can describe both the real scene that people see, and the illusory scene that people see. That's it, the visual language of ink and wash landscape painting can be brilliant and intoxicating. It is based on the specific performance of stippling, which gives people a visual impact, and is laid out in the invisible surroundings, making people think about the scenery. 1.

Fifty-two talks were given at the Sheng Yen Lecture Hall (located in the official residence where Master Sheng Yen lived in his final years). The talks were titled A Living Example, Countless Teachings— Encounters with Master Sheng Yen and we invited all his monastic and lay disciples to share with us their stories about Shifu, how he taught them through his living example and words. Listening to these speakers’ personal accounts of the interactions between teacher and student allowed the audience to commemorate Master Sheng Yen’s journey, and once again hear his gracious teachings. The talks include stories of Master Sheng Yen’s everyday life, how he would give detailed guidance to his disciples regarding their speech and actions. There are also accounts of his travels to share the Buddhadharma locally and overseas, reaching out to the public, and teaching them skillfully and flexibly based on the existing circumstances.

  • Exkurs 7: Huan Wen Und Yin Hao (S017) Nachdem Das Triumvirat Yu
    Alex Angehrn, 9402 Mörschwil, www.sansui-angehrn.ch 20 Exkurs 7: Huan Wen und Yin Hao (S017) Nachdem das Triumvirat Yu Liang, Wang Dao und Chi Jian gestorben war, weitete sich der blutige Kampf zwischen der Wang- und Yu-Familie aus, aber nach Wang Yunzhi's Tod fehlte dem Wang-Clan von Langye die Führungspersönlichkeit, die schwierige politische Lage durch- zustehen. Nachdem Wang Xizhi das Gouverneursamt von Jiangxi und Fujian abgegeben hatte, fiel diese Region in die Hände von Yu Bing 庾冰 (296-344) und zusammen mit Yu Yi dominierte der Yu-Clan mit seinem Einfluss die Nation. Yu Yi bestimmte 345 auf dem Totenbett Yu Yuanzhi 庾爰之 (ca. 325-360) als Nachfolger. Ministerpräsident He Chong zog jedoch Huan Wen für das Amt vor, um den immer mächtiger werdenden Yu-Clan, einzudämmen. Huan Wen hegte von jung auf grandiose Pläne und war genial in der Zivilregierung. 346 forderte er von der Regierung die Einwilligung zum Angriff gegen Sichuan und befahl ohne Einwilligung der Regierung eigenmächtig die Entsendung von Truppen. Im Jahr 347 vernichtete Huan Wen in kurzer Zeit das Land Cheng-Han und verleibte die gesamte Provinz Sichuan der östlichen Jin ein. Die Regierung machte Huan Wen zum General der Westprovinzen und seine Macht erstreckte sich nun weit über den Staat. Der schwache Kaiser Mudi 穆帝 (343-361) traute sich nicht, Huan Wen entgegenzutreten. Aber Ministerpräsident Sima Yu ernannte absichtlich dessen Rivalen Yin Hao zum Gouverneur von Yangzhou. Yin Hao hatte unter Yu Liang zusammen mit Wang Xizhi als Stabsoffizier gedient, führte später ein zurückgezogenes Leben und lehnte lange Anfragen für den Beamtendienst ab.

  • A Chinese Scroll Through Time
    The Newsletter | No.59 | Spring 2012 20 | The Review A Chinese scroll through time The Night Banquet is a tenth century hand scroll attributed to the painter Gu Hongzhong. A well-known statesman Han Xizai [902-970] is the main character, depicted in a number of scenes on this scroll. Han was famous for his parties, as we can read in an imperial painting catalogue from around 1120: “Rumors circulated inside the court and [Southern Tang Emperor Li Yu] regretted not being able to see Han’s famous parties with his own eyes.” The emperor found a solution for his problem, and sent the painter Gu Hongzhong to act as his spy.

It has taken NanHai and exhibiting artists more than one year to prepare for this exhibition, not to mention the energy and cost involved in international communication and logistics. Why did we spend so much time and effort to present Liu Kuo-sung? It can be traced back to when NanHai underwent the soul-searching process to reconfirm its mission. At that time, the first name that came to my mind was Liu Kuo-sung. As one of the earliest and most important advocates and practitioners of modernist Chinese painting, Liu has perfectly transcended Eastern and Western, tradition and modernity, established a new tradition of Chinese ink painting and successfully brought it to the center of the international art scene. Liu’s groundbreaking body of work best echoes NanHai’s commitment to present artworks that reflect the unique aesthetics of Chinese art while transcending cultural and artistic boundaries with a contemporary sensibility.
