Early Daoist Meditation and the Origins of Inner Alchemy
EARLY DAOIST MEDITATION 7 EARLY DAOIST MEDITATION AND THE ORIGINS OF INNER ALCHEMY Fabrizio Pregadio According to one of the scriptures belonging to the Taiqing, or Great Clar- ity, tradition, after an adept receives alchemical texts and relevant oral instructions from his master, he withdraws to a mountain or a secluded place to perform purification practices. He establishes the ritual area, demar- cates it with talismans for protection against demons and wild animals, and builds a Chamber of the Elixirs (danshi) at the centre of this protected space. To start compounding the elixir, he chooses a favourable day based on traditional methods of calendrical computation. When all ritual, spatial and temporal conditions are fulfilled, he may finally kindle the fire. Now he offers food and drink to three deities, and asks that they grant the successful compounding of the elixir: This petty man, (name of the adept), truly and entirely devotes his thoughts to the Great Lord of the Dao, Lord Lao and the Lord of Great Harmony. Alas! This petty man, (name of the adept), covets the Medicine of Life! Lead him so that the Medicine will not volat- ilise and be lost, but rather be fixed by the fire! Let the Medicine be good and efficacious, let the transmutations take place without hesitation, and let the Yellow and the White be entirely fixed! When he ingests the Medicine, let him fly as an immortal, have audience at the Purple Palace (Zigong), live an unending life and become an accomplished man (zhiren)!1 The Great Lord of the Dao (Da Daojun), Lord Lao (Laojun, or Laozi in his divine aspect) and the Lord of Great Harmony (Taihe jun) are not mentioned together in other alchemical texts.

Changchun Taoist Temple
Line 1: Changchun Taoist temple Changchun Taoist temple, one of the most famous Taoist temples in China, located in wuhan, hubei province, is the only existing Taoist temple in this area. It was listed as a national key Taoist temple by the state council in 1983. The Taoist temple is located in the south of shuangfeng mountain in wuhan city. It is said that laozi, the ancestor of Taoism, once stayed here. Taoist architecture appeared here as early as the 3rd century BC. During the yuan dynasty, qiu chuji, a famous representative of quanzhen school, came here to practice and preach, which further expanded its scale. Because qiu chuji was called changchun real person, the Taoist temple was called changchun view. Since its establishment, the influence of changchun outlook has been constantly expanding, and it was further expanded in the Ming and qing dynasties to form its current scale. It sits in the south, built according to the mountain, the main building is the gate, lingguan dian, taiqing dian, three emperor dian, etc., compact layout, large scale. Next to the building of qizhen temple, there is a hall of merit and virtue, with an astronomical panorama inlaid on the wall. It was completed by the famous Taoist priest Lilian in the 1930s, which has a high reference value for the study of ancient astronomy. Now, changchun view is not only the local center of Taoist activities, but also a scenic tourist resort, every year many visitors and believers come to worship. Guiyuan Buddhist Temple Guiyuan Buddhist Temple is located at the west end of cuiwei street in hanyang, hubei province, China.

In Addition to Introducing the Genre of Biography, the Editors Intend the Chapters to Provide a Good Sense of the Broader Flow O
300 Frontiers of History in China 2013, 8(2) In addition to introducing the genre of biography, the editors intend the chapters to provide a good sense of the broader flow of Chinese history, particularly in terms of turning points in normative expectations for women. In their introduction, Judge and Hu state that biography can show how transformations in, or the expectations for, women’s lives were most marked in times of war and social disruption and when there were rising levels of literacy for women. But this argument is not woven throughout the essays in the book nor is it summarized in the editors’ epilogue. How did conflict (such as the An Lushan Rebellion and the Sino-Japanese War) lead to changes in women’s lived experience? The reader will need to look for answers to this question, and others, on his or her own. Much of this volume will certainly be useful for students of Chinese history. Overall it provides a good overview of genres of women’s biography, some of which is nicely summarized in an appendix. Many of the essays are fine case studies in how to use particular sources and they point historians toward possible future research. Chapters that include extensive excerpts (sometimes as long as a full page) from biographical texts provide a real flavor of the sources and good instruction on how they can and should be used. Taken as a whole, these essays remind us that both reading biographical sources and writing biographies about women is a significant way to discover changes in society over time.

ATWOOD Validationby Holiness or Sovereignty: Religious Toleration as PoliticalTheology in the Mongol World Empireof the Thirteenth Century conquerors have been famous for religious toleration since the time of Edward Gibbon. The willingness to patronize many religions and to acknowledge their followers as praying to the same heaven comes as a refreshing change for students of the Middle Ages. Gibbon pioneered the use of the Mongol case to criticize medieval obscurantism when he interpolated into his account of the decline and fall of the Roman Empire a digression on the religious policy of Chinggis Khan. In the midst of a story whose master narrative was the triumph of barbarism and religion over Roman civility, he found a barbarian whose religious policy anticipated that of the Enlightenment, the second age of civility: But it is the religion of Zingis [Chinggis] that best deserves our wonder and ap- plause.

It portrays a number of characters in the background of the Southern Song Dynasty. In this research, we attempt to analyze the relationship of characters in LCH based on social network, including network feature analysis, cluster analysis, and data visualization. Moreover, the approach can be extended to other literary works because our research provides a general framework for analyzing character relationships. We first perform lexical analysis on the corpus to extract character names and then utilize co-word analysis to build a social network of character relationships. We reckon characters as nodes and count the cooccurrences of characters as weights of links.

Chen Meiwen-Gendered Ritual and Performative Literacy
Cover Page The handle http://hdl.handle.net/1887/41195 holds various files of this Leiden University dissertation Author: Chen Meiwen Title: Gendered ritual and performative literacy : Yao Women, goddesses of fertility, and the Chinese imperial state Issue Date: 2016-06-29 Chapter 3. The Civilizing Project and Its Social Consequences: Ordination, the Manuscript as an Object of Value, and the Male-Female Relations in Religious Domain Many pieces of ethnographical evidence collected in Southeast Asia during the mid-twentieth century confirm that a Yao define his or her Yao-ness through the performance of ritual rather than by any biological relationship.1 In the Chinese context, ritual practices have also continued to play an integral role in the formation of Yao ethnicity, even in the post-Maoist era (1980s--) in which the discourses of and the plans for modernization have dominated every aspect of Chinese society.2 Among all the rituals the Yao practice, ordination, the ritual that bestows the qualification of a ritual specialist upon a Yao man, is undoubtedly the most significant in defining Yao ethnicity. The Yao practise a form of ordination that appears to be a distant mirror of the earliest days of Daoism—namely: the Heavenly Masters’ Church of the second century AD—a time at which communal ordination was popular.3 Jacques Lemoine uses the term ‘collective priesthood’ to contrast Yao ordination with the contemporary Chinese Daoist system, because Chinese ordination singles out the candidates for ordination individually, and the members of this elected elite act out their spiritual roles on behalf of a community of laymen.4 Yao Daoist ordination has also overshadowed a great part of what is called Yao Daoism.

A LETTER from CHINA 4 June 2013 the Changing Face Of
A LETTER FROM CHINA 4 June 2013 The Changing Face of China’s Countryside Most people will be aware of the huge changes that have taken place in China’s cities over the past 20 years; even James Bond has used the futuristic towers of Shanghai as a backdrop for his brand of mayhem (though in the Chinese version he doesn’t shoot the Chinese guard). Less well known, perhaps, are the changes taking place in China’s countryside. This is not surprising: foreigners’ visits tend to be confined to the big cities, and even local commentators can be rather urban-centric. However, it is important given the scale involved, a scale that is evident from the window of any Chinese high-speed train, as hour after hour of well-populated rural landscape flashes by. But I am not going to write about macro trends. I am going to write about one small village called Mulangou. The name can be translated as “Peony Gully”, but also summons up the ghost of the famous woman warrior hero Mulan. I first visited Mulangou in 2004. As a personal investment, I rebuilt a farm there in 2005 and have been back regularly ever since. Even using Shandong’s fine and lightly trafficked motorway system, Mulangou is a full hour’s drive from Yantai, a minor port and the local administrative centre. When I first saw Mulangou it had only a mud road. After a heavy rain the tricky slope up from the neighbouring village became impassable to vehicles. Neither were there any street lamps; when the sun went down it was very dark – nice for star gazing, but little else.
