  • A Geographic History of Song-Dynasty Chan Buddhism: the Decline of the Yunmen Lineage
    decline of the yunmen lineage Asia Major (2019) 3d ser. Vol. 32.1: 113-60 jason protass A Geographic History of Song-Dynasty Chan Buddhism: The Decline of the Yunmen Lineage abstract: For a century during China’s Northern Song era, the Yunmen Chan lineage, one of several such regional networks, rose to dominance in the east and north and then abruptly disappeared. Whereas others suggested the decline was caused by a doctri- nal problem, this essay argues that the geopolitics of the Song–Jin wars were the pri- mary cause. The argument builds upon a dataset of Chan abbots gleaned from Flame Records. A chronological series of maps shows that Chan lineages were regionally based. Moreover, Song-era writers knew of regional differences among Chan lin- eages and suggested that regionalism was part of Chan identity: this corroborates my assertion. The essay turns to local gazetteers and early-Southern Song texts that re- cord the impacts of the Song–Jin wars on monasteries in regions associated with the Yunmen lineage. Finally, I consider reasons why the few Yunmen monks who sur- vived into the Southern Song did not reconstitute their lineage, and discuss a small group of Yunmen monks who endured in north China under Jin and Yuan control. keywords: Chan, Buddhism, geographic history, mapping, spatial data n 1101, the recently installed emperor Huizong 徽宗 (r. 1100–1126) I authored a preface for a new collection of Chan 禪 religious biogra- phies, Record of the Continuation of the Flame of the Jianzhong Jingguo Era (Jianzhong Jingguo xudeng lu 建中靖國續燈錄, hereafter Continuation of the Flame).1 The emperor praised the old “five [Chan] lineages, each ex- celling in a family style 五宗各擅家風,” a semimythical system promul- gated by the Chan tradition itself to assert a shared identity among the ramifying branches of master-disciple relationships.

    Angels in the Architecture 2: Build it Bigger Round 7 1. Several fan blades and I-beams surround a dilapidated electrical shed this company built in a cornfield as a back exit to its facility. After this company expanded its business beyond shower curtain manufacturing, it moved its headquarters to an abandoned salt mine on the Upper Peninsula, where a secret door leads to the drydock in which its constructed the Borealis. After the player avoids “victory candescence” and refuses to “assume the party escort submission position,” she must use one of this company’s products to escape through the back rooms of its facility. This company’s Test Chamber 17 contains one of the Rat Man’s dens as well as an incinerator into which the player must drop the Weighted Companion Cube. For 10 points, name this scientific research company whose Enrichment Center was flooded with deadly neurotoxin by GLaDOS and which provides the setting for the Portal games.

He’s not Norman Foster, but this architect has been commissioned to design the headquarters building for the Masdar City mega-development in Abu Dhabi. This architect’s plans for a “stayed-mast” design at the cancelled 7 South Dearborn project began his move away from Fazlur Khan’s “bundled tube” structural system for skyscrapers, and that movement continued as a collaboration with structural engineer Bill Baker on the “buttressed core” system used on his two tallest buildings. Though he now runs a practice with Gordon Gill, this architect was until 2006 a parter at SOM, for whom he designed the Burj Khalifa.

Abstract: The Liao dynasty (907-1125) was a dominant force in the political landscape of East Asia for a period of over two centuries. Despite this, when placed within the framework of Chinese history, the Liao polity and its associated architecture are forced to the periphery. This study aims to re-centre the Liao by exploring the pagodas constructed under this polity within a wider regional and chronological framework. To achieve this end, extant pagodas from China, North Korea, South Korea and Japan were recorded together in a database for the first time.

    A Grain of Sand: Yingzao Fashi and the Miniaturization of Chinese Architecture Di Luo A Dissertation Presented to Faculty of the USC Graduate School University of Southern California In partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy (East Asian Languages and Cultures) August 2016 Dissertation Committee Professors Dominic Cheung (Chair), Sonya S. Lee, Bettine Birge ii Acknowledgements My sincerest thanks go to the three distinguished scholars on my dissertation committee: Professors Dominic Cheung, Sonya Lee, and Bettine Birge, who have directed and supervised the entire process of my dissertation research and writing. Their remarkable scholarship in the fields of Chinese literature, art history, and cultural history have been an inexhaustible wellspring of knowledge and inspiration for me to tap over the years of my graduate study. They have guided and supported every step of my academic journey with utmost patience and care. I have received enormous help from many other professors in and outside USC. Professor George Hayden has given me useful tips and suggestions for my translation of the Yingzao fashi and my understanding of Chinese drama. Professor James Steele of the USC School of Architecture, who was the advisor of my M.Arch. thesis, discussed my dissertation project with much euthusiam and provided great insight into a lot of conceptual issues from his own professional perspective as an architect and architectural historian. Professors Min Li, Richard von Glahn, and Katsuya Hirano at UCLA have encouraged me to approach my study from the angles of a variety of disciplines including landscape archaeology, history of religion, and popular culture.
