  • The Birth of Chinese Feminism Columbia & Ko, Eds
    & liu e-yin zHen (1886–1920?) was a theo- ko Hrist who figured centrally in the birth , karl of Chinese feminism. Unlike her contem- , poraries, she was concerned less with China’s eds fate as a nation and more with the relation- . , ship among patriarchy, imperialism, capi- talism, and gender subjugation as global historical problems. This volume, the first translation and study of He-Yin’s work in English, critically reconstructs early twenti- eth-century Chinese feminist thought in a transnational context by juxtaposing He-Yin The Bir Zhen’s writing against works by two better- known male interlocutors of her time. The editors begin with a detailed analysis of He-Yin Zhen’s life and thought. They then present annotated translations of six of her major essays, as well as two foundational “The Birth of Chinese Feminism not only sheds light T on the unique vision of a remarkable turn-of- tracts by her male contemporaries, Jin h of Chinese the century radical thinker but also, in so Tianhe (1874–1947) and Liang Qichao doing, provides a fresh lens through which to (1873–1929), to which He-Yin’s work examine one of the most fascinating and com- responds and with which it engages.

  • A Study of Luo Yin's Writings of Slandering Shiwei Zhou a Thesis
    Understanding “Slandering”: A Study of Luo Yin’s Writings of Slandering Shiwei Zhou A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Washington 2020 Committee: Ping Wang William G. Boltz Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Asian Languages and Literature ©Copyright 2020 Shiwei Zhou 2 University of Washington Abstract Understanding “Slandering”: A Study of Luo Yin’s Writings of Slandering Shiwei Zhou Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Ping Wang Department of Asian Languages and Literature This thesis is an attempt to study a collection of fifty-eight short essays-Writings of Slandering- written and compiled by the late Tang scholar Luo Yin. The research questions are who are slandered, why are the targets slandered, and how. The answering of the questions will primarily rely on textual studies, accompanied by an exploration of the tradition of “slandering” in the literati’s world, as well as a look at Luo Yin’s career and experience as a persistent imperial exam taker. The project will advance accordingly: In the introduction, I will examine the concept of “slandering” in terms of how the Chinese literati associate themselves with it and the implications of slandering or being slandered. Also, I will try to explain how Luo Yin fits into the picture. Chapter two will focus on the studies of the historical background of the mid-to-late Tang period and the themes of the essays. Specifically, it will spell out the individuals, the group of people, and the political and social phenomenon slandered in the essays.

  • Malaysian Chinese Stories of Hard Work: Folklore and Chinese Work Values
    IJAPS, Vol. 11, No. 2, 1–16, 2015 MALAYSIAN CHINESE STORIES OF HARD WORK: FOLKLORE AND CHINESE WORK VALUES See Hoon Peow SEGi University, Selangor, Malaysia email: [email protected]/[email protected] ABSTRACT The Chinese, especially overseas Chinese and particularly the Malaysian Chinese, are well known for being hardworking and for their economic success. A certain degree of stereotyping is present here, of course, but Chinese success stories are certainly inspirational. This article demonstrates that Chinese folk narratives may have contributed to moulding the hardworking and entrepreneurial characteristics of the Chinese. Folklore, particularly folk narrative, plays a number of functions in non-literate societies, such as entertainment, validation of culture and the transmission of values. One of the major functions of folklore in non-literate societies is value transmission. In a modern society, folklore can perform the same function, although the transmission may be in the form of a book or a digital animation. To attempt to "scientifically" show that the Malaysian Chinese are likely to be influenced by these materials, this study analyses folk narratives that are commonly available in Chinese children's textbooks used in Chinese primary schools. The tales transmit values such as diligence, determination (especially in learning), loyalty, creativity, courage and to some extent, shrewdness, which are important to economic success. Keywords: Malaysian Chinese, folklore, work ethics, Chinese work values, entrepreneurship The Chinese, especially overseas Chinese, are well known for being hardworking and entrepreneurial (Voon 2012: 101). In 1894, Arthur Smith painted a picture of hardworking Chinese in all walks of life in China in his book Chinese Characteristics: "They practically never stay idle but work all day long" (Smith 1894: 27–34).

In Pursuit of the Great Peace: Han Dynasty Classicism and the Making of Early Medieval Literati Culture Abstract This dissertation is focused on communities of people in the Han dynasty (205 B.C.-A.D. 220) who possessed the knowledge of a corpus of texts: the Five Classics. Previously scholars have understood the popularity of this corpus in the Han society as a result of stiff ideology and imperial propaganda. However, this approach fails to explain why the imperial government considered them effective to convey propaganda in the first place. It does not capture the diverse range of ideas in classicism. This dissertation concentrates on Han classicists and treats them as scholars who constantly competed for attention in intellectual communities and solved problems with innovative solutions that were plausible to their contemporaries. This approach explains the nature of the apocryphal texts, which scholars have previously referred to as shallow and pseudo-scientific.

  • Negotiating Two Worlds: a Cross-Cultural Narrative of Chinese Immigrant Parents’ Encounter with Canadian Schooling
    NEGOTIATING TWO WORLDS: A CROSS-CULTURAL NARRATIVE OF CHINESE IMMIGRANT PARENTS’ ENCOUNTER WITH CANADIAN SCHOOLING by Xiaohong Chi A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Department of Curriculum, Teaching, and Learning Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Xiaohong Chi 2012 NEGOTIATING TWO WORLDS: A CROSS-CULTURAL NARRATIVE OF CHINESE IMMIGRANT PARENTS’ ENCOUTER WITH CANADIAN SCHOOLING Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Xiaohong Chi Graduate Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning University of Toronto Abstract From 1998- 2009, mainland China has been the number one source of immigrants in Canada (Citizenship and Immigration Canada, 2011). For newcomer families, adjusting to the local school is a major concern, since their children’s education is a crucial factor in families’ immigration decision. In my research, I examined Chinese immigrant parents’ experience with Canadian schooling. The study focuses on four families living in the Greater Toronto area, who have immigrated from mainland China. I employed narrative inquiry to tell the stories of the lived experience of the four families in my study. The data for these stories are mainly drawn from field notes of each of my home visits and my interviews with the family members over a six month period. I found that the challenges and difficulties the immigrant parents face are deeply rooted in the differences between Chinese and Canadian cultures and social systems. The discussion on the features of Chinese culture in its comparison with Western culture provides a reference point for understanding the Chinese immigrant parents’ values and opinions on such matters as schooling, moral education, and parenting practice.

  • The Buddhist Medicine King in Literary Context Reconsidering An
    C. Pierce Salguero THE BUDDHIST MEDICINE KING IN LITERARY CONTEXT: RECONSIDERING AN EARLY MEDIEVAL EXAMPLE OF INDIAN INFLUENCE ON CHINESE MEDICINE AND SURGERY In most accounts of Chinese medical history, one reads of the transmission of Indian medicine to China in the early medieval period via Buddhism.1 In the vast number of Chinese Buddhist texts pertaining to healing from the period, no human figure is more celebrated than the “Medicine King” (yi wang !"), known in Sanskrit sources as Jivaka Kumarabhrta (Pali: Komarabhacca).2 Historical studies of Indo-Sinitic medical exchange in Drafts of this article were presented at the American Academy of Religions (November 2007) and the American Association of the History of Medicine (April 2008). I wish to thank the participants in those sessions, Marta Hanson, James Benn, Gianna Pomata, Venerable Jianrong, the anonymous reviewers for History of Religions, as well as my colleagues in the Johns Hopkins Program in the History of Science, Medicine, and Technology, whose comments and corrections I have incorporated into this article but whom I have not been able to acknowledge individually. 1 For convenience, I use the terms “early medieval” and “Six Dynasties” interchangeably throughout. I intend both terms to refer to the era of disunion between the fall of the Han dynasty (206 BCE–220 CE) and reunification of the empire in 589 CE by the Sui (581– 618 CE). While many more than six dynasties came and went over these centuries, the period is named for the six successive dynasties with capitals at Nanjing. 2 The honorific yi wang, translatable as either “Medicine King” or “King of Physicians,” is also used to refer to Bian Que and other famous Chinese physicians and is a title assumed by some Chinese emperors to underscore their beneficence.

Extolling it as the first workers’ government, classical Marxist writers took it as an exemplary—though embryonic— model of the dictatorship of the proletariat. The principles of the Paris Commune, according to Marx, lay in that “the working class cannot simply lay hold of the ready-made state machinery, and wield it for its own purposes.” General elections and the abolishment of a standing army were regarded by classical Marxist writers as defining features of the organ of power established in the Paris Commune. After the defeat of the Paris Commune, the Marxist interpretation of the Commune was widely propagated throughout the world, including in China.
