  • CUNY in Nanjing
    China Program Description, p. 1 of 5 CUNY-BC Study in China: Program Description & Itinerary Tentative Program Dates: May 30-June 20, 2016 Application Deadline: March 21, 2016 Program Director: Professor Shuming Lu Department of Speech Communication Arts & Sciences Brooklyn College, the City University of New York Telephone: 718-951-5225 E-mail: [email protected] This program is designed in such a way that all travel is education-related. The cities we have chosen to visit are all sites of great historical and cultural importance. 1. Beijing is the current capital of China and used to be the capital of several late Chinese dynasties. Many sites in Beijing (e.g., Tiananmen Square, Palace Museum, Forbidden City, the Great Wall, Summer Palace, the Olympic Stadium) are directly related to what we are teaching in our courses on Chinese history, culture, society, and Chinese business & economy. 2. Xi’an was where Chinese dynasties started several thousand years ago and many subsequent emperors established their capitals. It is also the eastern starting point of the ancient overland Silk Road. Sites that strongly support the academic content of our courses are the Terra Cotta Museum, Qin Shihuangdi Emperor’s Mausoleum, Wild Good Pagoda Buddhist Temple & Square, Xuanzang Buddhist Statue, Silk Road Sites, Tang Dynasty Art Museum, Muslim Quarter, and the Great Mosque. 3. Nanjing was the capital of six ancient Chinese dynasties and the capital of the first Republic of China—a place of great significance in modern Chinese history. Ming Dynasty first established its capital here and then moved the capital to Beijing.

  • Preservation of Lilong Neighborhoods in Shanghai
    PRESERVATION OF LILONG NEIGHBORHOODS IN SHANGHAI: SOCIAL CHANGE AND SPATIAL RIGHTS A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Historic Preservation Planning by Ran Yan August 2013 © 2013 Ran Yan ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT As once the most common form of dwelling in Shanghai, the Lilong has played a vital role in Shanghai’s local culture. Gradually declining in number during the second half of the 20th century, it is now faced with a challenging and undecided future. This thesis aims to further the discussion of the preservation of Lilong neighborhoods in its fundamental relation with people and basic social context. Four case studies, Tian Zi Fang, Jian Ye Li, Jing An Bie Shu and Bu Gao Li, are used to add some realistic, specific details and to deepen the reflection on this topic. Each of the cases has its special architectural features, residential composition, history, and current problems all of which provide some insight into the uniqueness and individuality of every Lilong neighborhood. In the end recommendations are made to address to Lilong residents’ right and to call for an equal way of Lilong preservation as a means to a better living environment for everyone and a more equitable society. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Ran Yan was born on August 9th, 1988 in Beijing, China, where she grew up and finished her early education. In 2011 she received her Bachelor of Engineering degree in Historic Preservation from Tongji University, in Shanghai. With a background in both architecture and historic preservation, she continued on to graduate study in the Historic Preservation Planning program at the City and Regional Planning Department of Cornell University.

  • Yeh-Lü Ch'u-Ts'ai) (1190-1244)
    Impressions of early 13th century Central Asia as seen through the Poetry of Yelü Chucai 耶律楚材 (Yeh-lü Ch'u-ts'ai) (1190-1244) by Sally K Church (University of Cambridge) and Prof. Qiu Jiangning 邱江宁 (Zhejiang Normal University) First I would very much like to thank Professor Liu Yingsheng, Professor Hua Tao, Yang Xiaochun and others at Nanjing University for inviting us here to give this lecture. I speak for my colleague Prof. Qiu Jiangning as well, in expressing our deep appreciation to you for giving us this opportunity to present our work on this topic. Last year, when Prof. Qiu Jiangning was a visiting scholar at the University of Cambridge’s Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, we presented a paper together on Yelü Chucai’s poetry on Central Asia at the Central Asia Forum, which is part of the Cambridge University Centre of Development Studies, where there is a weekly series of lectures by guest speakers on various topics related to Central Asia. Prof Qiu teaches Yuan dynasty literature at Zhejiang Normal University. She subsequently published the results of her research in Cambridge on this topic in an article entitled “Hai, Lu Sichou zhi lu de tuotong yu Meng-Yuan shiqi de yiyu shuxie” 海，陆丝绸之路的拓通与蒙元时期的异域书写 (Wenyi yanjiu 文艺研究, 2017 (8): 66-75). The paper we presented in Cambridge contained a large amount of introductory material, not only about Yelü Chucai himself, but also about the rather complicated historical context in which he lived. Due to the nature of this distinguished audience here at Nanjing University, it is not necessary for me to describe the historical context in great detail, though I will mention a few aspects that are relevant to this discussion.
