Kwok, Chairperson Edward Davis Peter H. Hoffenberg Sharon A. Minichiello Ming-Bao Yue iii This dissertation is dedicated to my parents, for bearing patiently innumerable delays and failures to show up at family gatherings, and especially for loving me enough to hang onto me but believing in me enough to let me go- and in memory of my three grandparents who departed during the course of dissertation production, especially my mama, whose last clear questions to me were about the progress of my research, and my yeye, whose last clear smiles at me were over the future fun of calling me "Dr. Chou"- this dissertation is for them. iv Acknowledgments The intellectual, material, and personal debts incurred in the writing of a dissertation are too numerous to count and too complex to unweave. Those listed below are but some of those to whom thanks are due. I wish to thank first my dissertation committee members, without whom this project could not reach fruition: Edward Davis, Peter Hoffenberg, Sharon Minichiello, and Ming-bao Yue. Special thanks are due to my committee chai~person Daniel W.Y. Kwok, who willingly disturbed the peace of his retirement to lead me through this exhausting but exciting process. I also thank the many people who gave their invaluable comments at various stages of the research process; these include Roger Ames, Shi Mingzheng, Timothy Weston, Glenn Shive, Kathryn Mohrman, Philip Yuen-sang Leung, Waikeung Chan, and my father Henry Chou. Particular thanks are due to Michael Kurihara, who read the dissertation in its entirety and gave his insightful feedback. lowe special thanks to the very able and helpful staff of the archives I visited: in particular, Bill Mossa of Manuscripts and Archives at Sterling Library, Yale University; Edward Baker and Ron Suleski of the Harvard- v Yenching Institute; Jonathan Green at the Ford Foundation in New York; and Carol Leadenham of Hoover Institution Archives at Stanford. I also thank the staff of the Yale- China Association, particularly Nancy Chapman, Judith Collins, Heather Brooke, and Hong Kong representative Julia Travers, for their invaluable aid in locating and interpreting relevant materials. At The Asia Foundation, David Kim and Nicola Burt of the San Francisco head office and Allen Choate of the Hong Kong office provided me access to and information on the Foundation's archival collection. The library staff of New Asia College and the New Asia Research Institute, particularly Mrs. Li, deserves special gratitude for their repeated help. Professor Kwok-keung Lau of The Chinese University of Hong Kong gave me invaluable help throughout my stay in Hong Kong, without which both process and product of my work would have had considerably less color and feeling. During my dissertation work, I was aided by funds from fellowships awarded through the University of Hawaii, including the John F. Kennedy Dissertation Research Scholarship in History and the Huang Graduate Scholarship,. but especially by the very generous four-year support of the Hung Family Fellowship for Chinese Intellectual History. vi Abstract Confucian Cultural Education on the Chinese Periphery: Hong Kong's New Asia College, 1949-1976 In 1949, a group of anti-communist Confucian intellectuals left mainland China and established a New Asia College in Hong Kong. This school was to represent a re-creation of the traditional Chinese academy, the shuyuan of Sung and Ming times. The founders believed that, by actualizing the curricular content, structural form, and educational principles of the Confucian shuyuan, the core of Chinese culture could be effectively promoted and preserved. Preservation was of paramount importance, for they believed that the eventual revival of Chinese culture on the Chinese mainland depended upon their keeping it alive in the Hong Kong periphery during the tenure of communist control in China. The purity of the Confucian shuyuan vision, however, proved difficult to maintain, for the requirements of the British colonial government's educational policies, the anti-communist orientation of American funding organizations, and the market needs of the industrializing port of Hong Kong combined to make the Confucian character vii of New Asia ever more complex and ambiguous. This matrix of contending interests meant that increasingly New Asia, which was itself established as a living cultural symbol, became a site of contesting symbolic representations and interpretations of the meaning of Confucian educational values for modern Chinese people. Face with such contestation, New Asia's determined fidelity to the shuyuan ideal ended in an ironic competition over conceptions of Chinese culture that would transform the New Asia dream into both much more and much less than its founders originally envisioned. This dissertation examines New Asia College as a case study in cultural education. By tracing the history of the college from its founding in 1949 to its incorporation into The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 1963, this study analyzes how New Asia sought to enact its mission and educational philosophy. The ultimate subsuming of New Asia's program in 1976 under the University's centralization scheme, and the broader notions Chinese education that implied, reveals not only the cultural predicament of New Asia's founders but the complexity of the Hong Kong environment in which they sought they revive and promote Chinese culture. viii Table of Contents Dedication iii Acknowledgments i v Abstract vi Introduction 1 Part A.

The students, all strangers to each other, sat waiting quietly in a circle. The circle was open at one point with empty seats, seats awaiting the entrance of the teachers. The students, in their silence, felt somewhat ill at ease: most were only recently arrived from mainland China, some forced to flee in haste, others having greater luxury of time to choose their actions and their destinations. But all felt the tumult of the age which had brought them together - the success of communism in China, and the strange refuge that was the British colony of Hong Kong, so close to yet so distant from their Chinese homeland. All had worried and wondered how, faced with such uncertainty and chaos, they would continue their own education and in what manner. And all had been drawn to this small room by the reputation and ideals of a few men, men whom they had come to acknowledge as teachers and to whom they would trust 2 their minds and persons as students for as much future as they could foresee. 1 The teachers, when they entered, collectively posed quite a formidable picture, particularly against the unimpressive backdrop of a dark and narrow schoolroom. They included the famed historian Qian Mu f~t~, then aged 54. He had taught Chinese history at Peking University :ft;j(A~ in the 1930's until the Sino-Japanese War (1937-45) necessitated flight, and his Chinese History course, the notes of which would become the textbook An Outline of Chinese History BWJt;t~, had roused much interest and controversy. 2 Also present was the German-educated economist Zhang Peijie 5*~1t, the political scientist Cui Shuqin --mi5~, Chinese literature specialist Liu Shangyi :XI] Mj ~. Unable to attend that day but very much part of this group was also the forty-year-old philosopher Tang Junyi m tl~)t. Educated at Central University 9=';R:A~ in Nanjing, he 1 Tang Duanzheng mfilfflIE, "Yazhou wenshang xueyuan de huiyi SIIZ.¥fHjCfllj'7~B<J@] 'tz," [Recollections of the Asia School of Humanities and Commerce], Xinya xuebao /~jf~j' [New Asia Journal] 1 (1952): 18. For the first year of New Asia's existence, it was called the Asia School of Humanities and Commerce. In the Fall of 1950, upon moving to better quarters, it was renamed New Asia College Ji\lTSIIZ.~~. 2 Bresciani, Reinventing Confucianism: The New Confucian Movement (Taipei: Taipei Ricci Institute for Chinese Studies, 2001), 244. 3 had returned to teach there and head its Philosophy Department in the post-war years. 3 Many of these teachers knew each other or had worked together previously. Particularly, the two who would become the leaders of the new college through its £ormative period, Qian Mu (1895-1990) and Tang Junyi (1909-1978), already had considerable professional experience together.

IDEMA Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the British Academy, XVII, 1–18 Posted 18 June 2018. © British Academy 2018 GLEN DUDBRIDGE Born in 1938 in Clevedon, Somerset, Glen Dudbridge attended Bristol Grammar School. Following his National Service, he read Chinese at Cambridge, where he was taught by H. C. Chang, who is probably best known for his substantial and densely annotated anthology of Chinese vernacular literature which appeared in 1973 as Chinese Literature: Popular Fiction and Drama (Edinburgh). He also greatly benefited from the expertise of Piet van der Loon, who would remain a major source of inspir­ ation throughout his life. As well as Chang, van der Loon must have drilled him in philology and bibliography. Following his years at Cambridge, Dudbridge continued his studies at the New Asia College in Hong Kong. In 1965, he was appointed as Lecturer in Modern Chinese at Oxford. Twenty years later, in 1985, he was made Professor of Chinese at Cambridge, but returned to Oxford in 1989 when he was appointed in the same function there. He served as Chair of the European Association of Chinese Studies from 1998 to 2002, and was a visiting professor at Yale University, University of California, Berkeley, and the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He was elected a fellow of the British Academy in 1984 and was awarded an Honorary Membership of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in 1996. Following retire­ ment from his Oxford Chair, he remained actively involved in academic life and research.

  • CHAPTER 3 Hong Kong Music Ecosphere
    Abstract The people of Hong Kong experienced their deepest sense of insecurity and anxiety after the handover of sovereignty to Beijing. Time and again, the incapacity and lack of credibility of the SAR government has been manifested in various new policies or incidents. Hong Kong people’s anger and discontent with the government have reached to the peak. On July 1, 2003, the sixth anniversary of the hand-over of Hong Kong to China, 500,000 demonstrators poured through the streets of Hong Kong to voice their concerns over the proposed legislation of Article 23 and their dissatisfaction to the SAR government. And the studies of politics and social movement are still dominated by accounts of open confrontations in the form of large scale and organized rebellions and protests. If we shift our focus on the terrain of everyday life, we can find that the youth voice out their discontents by different ways, such as various kinds of media. This research aims to fill the gap and explore the relationship between popular culture and politics of the youth in Hong Kong after 1997 by using one of the local bands KingLyChee as a case study. Politically, it aims at discovering the hidden voices of the youth and argues that the youth are not seen as passive victims of structural factors such as education system, market and family. Rather they are active and strategic actors who are capable of negotiating with and responding to the social change of Hong Kong society via employing popular culture like music by which the youth obtain their pleasure of producing their own meanings of social experience and the pleasure of avoiding the social discipline of the power-bloc.

    2016-2017 INTRODUCTION The Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange (the Foundation) was established in 1989 in memory of the outstanding achievements of the late President of the Republic of China, Chiang Ching- kuo (1910-1988). The Foundation’s mission is to promote the study of Chinese culture and society, as well as enhance international scholarly exchange. Its principal work is to award grants and fellowships to institutions and individuals conducting Sinological and Taiwan-related research, thereby adding new life to Chinese cultural traditions while also assuming responsibility for the further development of human civilization. Operational funds supporting the Foundation’s activities derive from interest generated from an endowment donated by both the public and private sectors. As of June 1, 2017, the size of this endowment totaled NT$3.62 billion. The Foundation is governed by its Board of Directors (consisting of between 15 and 21 Board Members), as well as 3 Supervisors. Our central headquarters is located in Taipei, Taiwan, with a regional office near Washington D.C. in McLean, Virginia. In addition, the Foundation currently maintains four overseas centers: the Chiang Ching-kuo International Sinological Center at Charles University in Prague (CCK-ISC); the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation Inter-University Center for Sinology at Harvard University (CCK-IUC); the Chinese University of Hong Kong – Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation Asia-Pacific Centre for Chinese Studies (CCK-APC); and the European Research Center on Contemporary Taiwan – A CCK Foundation Overseas Center at Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen (CCKF-ERCCT).

A multifaceted music curriculum model (MMC Model)—one that addresses relevant issues, criteria, and parameters typically involved or often overlooked—is proposed for consideration in designing a music curriculum. This MMC Model and the follow up discussion are based on the results of a larger study entitled The role of Chinese music in secondary school education in Hong Kong (Leung, 2003a; referred to here as the “original study”), and one of its established models, the Chinese Music Curriculum Model, which was developed in connection with research concerning curriculum decisions for the teaching of Chinese music.
