How to Use this Guide

Titles are listed in chronological by date of release or broadcast, and alphabetically within the same year.

Credits given for each entry are as follows: main , production company, distributor / broadcaster (if different from production company), country of production (if not U.S.), release year / broadcast date, series title (if not TV), and basic personnel listings (director, producer, writer, narrator).

The holdings listed are access copies unless otherwise noted. The physical properties given are: number of carriers (reels, tapes, discs, or digital files), video format (VHS, U- matic, DVD, etc.), running time, sound/silent, black & white/color, wide screen process (if applicable, e.g. CinemaScope), physical dimensions (film gauge, tape width, or disc diameter) or digital file format, source (for digital files only), collection to which the item belongs, and call number(s) (Mavis, AAFF, MCD, VAB, FAC, etc.). The abbreviations used are: “min” = minute, “sec” = second, “si” = silent, "sd" = sound, and “in” = inch.

Notes on

Chinese personal names are listed beginning with the last () followed by the first name.

The use of various sources from early film journals to present day websites has resulted in names of people and places appearing in a variety of transliterations. For example, the city of appears in the texts quoted below as Beijing, Peking, Pekin, Peiping and Peping. To enable word searches by name, name variants that are different from the modern system of romanization are followed by their pinyin versions in brackets. Therefore, a search for “” will come up with “Mao Zedong,” “Mao Tse-tung,” and “Mao Tze Tung,” and “” will find both “Nanjing” and “Nanking.” The exception are several names known to English users primarily in their old transliterations, e.g. Chiang Kai-shek (instead of Jiang Jieshi), Yat-sen (instead of Sun Zhongshan) and (instead of Jiulong).

According to information culled from the Media History Digital Library, With China at the Front was released in the U.S. in ca. 1932. The June 1932 issue of the journal Movie Makers lists the film as being distributed by Hollywood Film Enterprises and describes it as “an unusual record of the recent conflict at Shanghai” (p. 273). Neither Shanghai nor any Japanese soldiers are seen in the footage, however, and it is possible that the conflict depicted dates from an earlier period (late 1920’s).

“Sun Yat-sen, father of democratic China is shown teaching his ideals, many of which are carried on by Chiang Kai-shek, leader of war-torn China. War with Japan since 1937 has made great inroads into the progress that China had been making. The eastern cities and ports having fallen into enemy hands leaves free China on the run, with the American Air Force forced to evacuate base after base in its retreat. The Cairo conference between Roosevelt, Churchill and Chiang Kai-shek promises the return of Chinese possessions that were held before the war started. The problems of fighting a war with limited industrial capability, poor transportation, blockades of all the major eastern ports, and archaic tools are further aggravated by the division of China between the communists in the north, and the free Chinese in the south. For example, Communist China under Mao Tse-tung [Mao Zedong] has its own currency, and official newspapers which circulate ideology contrary to the free Chinese. Madame Sun Yat-sen, widow of the former leader, and her son continue to hold his ideals before the people. Madame Chiang Kai-shek joins the leaders of Free China in rallying the support of the people, and the support of America. Moving pictures and the press are used extensively to inform the people. The government sends out teams of officials to show how an elected government works. Elections are held freely. However, the government of Chiang Kai-shek remains corrupt, and is a target of its enemies in Communist China.” (LC catalog card)

“Provides an overview of the political and cultural history of China from 960-1500, highlighting its technological and scientific innovations.

“From the 15th to the 18th centuries, Europe underwent a transformation propelled by a revolution of science and technology. While many of the technologies had originated in China, it was in the Western nations that innovation turned into invention, and invention into economic, military and social expansion. The European Jesuits sent to China from 1500 to 1700 failed to convert the Chinese to Christianity, and also failed to convince the Chinese of the superiority of Western culture. While the Western nations traded with the Chinese, the Chinese did not reciprocate. The Chinese eventually imported opium from Europe. Efforts to suppress the opium trade led to conflict with Great Britain which led to the Opium War, 1839, in which China was defeated and entered into an economic slump and decline.” (WorldCat)

1 digital file, 58 min, sd, color, MPEG4 (from U-matic). LC Off-Air Taping Collection. Mavis 1880866.

“China and the West came into direct conflict over trade and power during the 19th century. The Chinese, outgunned and vulnerable, sought to gain enough of Europe's technology to fend off Europe while trying to remain Chinese. Japan was more successful and adopted a host of Western innovations and ideas, reasoning that power came not from Western technology but from the culture and context that constructed it. China tried to strengthen its resolve and faith in itself by grafting elements of Western technology into China without changing much else. China was defeated in battle with Japan in 1894 and in 1900, was humiliated during the suppression of the Boxer Rebellion. In 1919, after the student rebellion, Chiang Kai-shek reunited most of China and the coastal areas began to appear modern. The Japanese military remained strong until the second World War when it was defeated.” (WorldCat)

The tensions between the development of scientific technology in China and the political goals of the communist rulers of the country are still in conflict. The question is whether China will be able to achieve the level of self-sufficiency it desires and needs.” (WorldCat)

A series of 17 lectures, 10 of which are on China.

CHINESE LITERATURE--POPULAR, PERSONAL AND POLITICAL. 48 min, VAC 8875.

A lecture by Steven Van Zoeren. “Poets, whether we know their names or not, are the singers of their societies, and through their songs [and] their poetry we are given windows into other times, other places and other sensitivities. Not for nothing did the Han Dynasty establish a bureau whose task it was to collect the folk songs of the realm, in order to take the pulse of the people.” (WorldCat)

CONFUCIANISM--THE SOCIAL IS SACRED. 46 min, VAC 8873.

A lecture by P. J. Ivanhoe. “The classical period of Chinese history, from about 500 to 200 B.C. was filled with conflict, warfare and social change. Small states were swallowed by bigger and more ruthless states, while former members of an aristocratic nobility fell into poverty and commoner status. Perhaps it is no wonder that this was also the period in Chinese history richest in philosophical thinking, in argument and in dispute among rival schools of belief.” (WorldCat)

CORE AND PERIPHERY--THE TRANSFORMATION OF REVOLUTION IN CHINA. 52 min, VAC 8881.

“In his lecture, Prof. [Lyman] Van Slyke proposes a new and enlarged definition of China, which includes three ‘peripheral Chinas,’ which have often been overlooked or neglected: Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore comprise the first of these layers.” (WorldCat)

LEADERS AND THE LED--RULERSHIP IN CHINA. 55 min, VAC 8877.

“As we listen to this lecture [by Harold Kahn] we may marvel at the long duration and the staying power of the Chinese imperial state and realize how little we know about the emperors themselves. Like the tip of the iceberg, the emperor on his dragon throne sat atop the huge, submerged structure of government, bureaucracy and society. It was either very easy or rather dangerous to be the emperor of China, for palace intrigue poisoned more than one ruler or heir apparent, and barbarian invaders if they were strong enough headed directly for the imperial palace as the center of imperial power.” (WorldCat)

LOOKING AT GENDER IN CHINESE SOCIETY. 51 min, VAC 8879.

“In her lecture, Prof. [Janice] Stockard asks, ‘what did it mean to be born female in Chinese society then and now?’ and ‘how do women's experiences differ from those of men?’ Prof. Stockard first depicts the most important general features of the gender landscape of Chinese society: the male-dominated patriarchal and patrilineal family, stressing that upon marriage, the bride goes to live not only with her husband, but with her husband's family, which is often surrounded by her husband's lineage.” (WorldCat)

NEW WINE IN OLD BOTTLE--THE INVENTION OF THE CIVIL SERVICE. 44 min, VAC 8872.

“How did the Chinese invent and institute a centralized, imperial state and the bureaucracy that was necessary to make it work? In his lecture, Professor [Albert] Dien surveys almost a thousand years of Chinese history, from the Chou [Zhou] conquest in the 12th century B.C. to the unification of China in the 3rd century. This millennium, and particularly the latter 500 years, is perhaps the most important formative period in all of Chinese history.” (WorldCat)

REFORM AND REACTION IN CONTEMPORARY CHINA. 42 min, VAC 8878.

A lecture by Nina Halpern. “During the years since the death of Mao Tse-tung [Mao Zedong] and the downfall of the in 1976, China has sought simultaneously the elusive goals of economic development, political stability and national sense of purpose. This reform program has been quite bold and quite successful in the economic sphere, while trying to limit political change that might challenge the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party.” (WorldCat)

TAIWAN--THE OTHER CHINA. 52 min, VAC 8880.

A lecture by Thomas Metzger. “For many years, Taiwan was widely but inaccurately viewed as a small island with grandiose but outdated ideas, a remnant of the , sooner or later to be absorbed into the greater motherland. During the past twenty years, Taiwan's remarkable economic progress has been increasingly recognized. Less generally noted, but perhaps even more astonishing, is the political evolution toward personal freedoms, pluralism, and responsible government that has taken place since the mid-1980’s.” (WorldCat).

TAOIST VISION. 57 min, VAC 8874.

“This lecture [by Lee Yearley] explores Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, often called the three religions of China, though many would argue that Confucianism and much of Taoism should be seen as ways of thought rather than religions in the conventional sense. The main texts of classical or philosophical Taoism defy easy classification, and this has been part of their continuing appeal.” (WorldCat)

VISIONS AND REVISIONS OF THE PAST IN CHINESE ART. 22 min, VAC 8876.

A lecture by Richard Vinograd. “If literature is the voice of a culture, then art is its eyes, the vision of a culture. In the middle of the 17th century two realities were paramount in China. The first reality was the enormous weight of tradition. In a profoundly retrospective culture, one which paid reverence to the past, to precedents and to the ancient exemplars, this tradition both inspired and constrained all members of Chinese society: emperors, scholars, bureaucrats, even peasants and artists.” (WorldCat)
