Egan, Committee Chair December 2020 The Aesthetics of Non-Discrimination: Chinese Poetics and Social Critique in Huihong's Night Chats from Chilly Hut (c. 1121) Copyright © 2020 By Sarah Jane Babcock iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank the organizations that provided generous funding for my doctorial research: The China Scholarship Council for funding a semester of research at Sichuan University, The Center for Chinese Studies at the National Central Library for the Research Grant for Foreign Scholars in Chinese Studies, and Dharma Drum Mountain for providing affordable housing for dissertation writing on their beautiful campus at Dharma Drum Institute of Liberal Arts. I would also like to thank UCSB for the generous Graduate Opportunity Fellowship and the department of East Asian Languages and Cultural Studies obtaining Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) grants and other scholarships for my graduate studies. To begin a doctoral program requires the involvement of several people. But it takes a village to complete a dissertation. I have received guidance and support from numerous teachers, colleagues, staff, friends, and family members throughout my graduate studies, and each person provided something essential to help me realize the goal of completing this Ph.D. I am deeply indebted to my doctoral advisor, Ronald C. Egan. His expertise, experience, and integrity have guided me through all the various stages of the doctoral degree. It was Prof. Egan who first introduced Night Chats from Chilly Hut to me as a possible research focus, and he encouraged me to continue even when anyone else in their right mind would have given up on me. I will never forget the hours of delightful one-on-one close reading sessions we had together at UCSB. He ensured that I had the funding and the time to pursue language study and research in some of the best programs in Asia. After his move to Stanford University, Prof. Egan continued to provide timely help long beyond the call of duty. His subtle corrections and probing questions over the years have been integral to my completing this project and inspiring me to develop as a scholar. Any oversights and inaccuracies that remain in my work are undeniably my own. I would also like to thank the other two members of my committee, Xiaorong Li and Hsiao- jung Yu, as well as several faculty members in the department of East Asian Languages and Cultural Studies who have assisted me during my degree. Prof. Li, who kindly joined my committee after my field exams, gave me broad questions to consider that were crucial in helping frame my project, and she provided invaluable feedback on my chapter drafts and translations. Prof. Yu supervised my sub-field in Chinese language pedagogy, going out of her way to ensure that I had up-to-date training. Her dedication to students will always be an inspiration. I am also grateful to Xiao-bin Ji, a brilliant but humble scholar of Chinese history, for supervising my subfield in Song dynasty history. Additionally, I am appreciative of Thomas Mazanec, who provided a range of support, from commenting on paper abstracts to giving citation advice, not to mention the crucial role that his research on Tang poet- monks played in providing context for my research. To Katherine Saltzman-Li, I offer heartfelt gratitude for her timely intervention during a period of academic isolation and the guidance she has provided during the last years of my degree, done out of the kindness of her heart. v I benefited from Zhou Yukai’s extensive study of the interaction between Tang-Song literature and Chan Buddhism and his specialized interest in Huihong. I was fortunate to spend six months taking classes and tutorials offered by Prof. Zhou at Sichuan University. He patiently listened and responded to all my questions, from clarifications about the odd circumstances of Huihong’s ordination to cryptic allusions in Night Chats. His graduate students later told me that he had given me the nickname “Study-fiend” 學霸子. There are many other scholars who have assisted me through my graduate studies. I met Jason Protass and Christopher Byrne at an Association of Asian Studies conference and felt for the first time I had found “my people.” Prof. Protass has since offered invaluable advice as I explore issues around the poet-monk, and it was an offhanded question from him that drove my research for one of my chapters. I would also like to thank the scholars associated with the Western Branch American Oriental Society who raised questions or provided feedback on portions of my research, including Stephen West, Michael Fuller, Alexei Ditter, Michael Nylan, Yunshuang Zhang, and Xiao Rao. Friends have provided invaluable support during the dissertation writing process. Beloved English teacher David Fell used a balanced combination of critique and encouragement to help me hone my writing skills and focus my arguments. I still have much to learn from “Dr. D.,” but his reliable guidance was essential in helping me better express and organize what I wished to communicate. Dear friend Cheryl Howard has been a constant support and enthusiastic listener through all of my educational endeavors. Silvia Madrid, who I met on the website Phinished.org, became my virtual writing companion and accountability buddy. I want to express my gratitude for the Dharma Realm Buddhist University community of teachers, staff, and students. They provided crucial support and encouragement over the past few years. In particular, thank you to Shari Epstein for her enthusiasm, timely advice, and homegrown vegetables. To Lauren Bausch for her kind offerings of proof reading, hot picnic lunches, and words of wisdom. And to all my dharma friends and colleagues who have provided support seen and unseen, including Rev. Heng Sure, Bhikshuni Heng Yin, Snjezana Akpinar, Martin Verhoeven, Douglas Powers, Terri and Alan Nicholson, Stacy Chen, Franklyn Wu, and Sean Kerr. As the Buddha told Ānanda, good comradeship is not half of the spiritual life; it is the entire spiritual life. I wish to thank my parents, Elizabeth and Jon Babcock, for the love and support that each has given me throughout this process. My mother has cheered me on at every stage and reminded me to stay true to my values. My father, an independent scholar of Chinese and Buddhism himself, nurtured my interest in Chinese language and inspired me with his extensive philological and semantic treasure hunts. I’ve come to see this approach as indispensable in unveiling the intricacies and beauty of a Chinese classical poem. Finally, I am deeply grateful to my loving husband and best friend, Dr. Stephen Wilcox, for his constant support and unfailing confidence in me. As the person who nudged me towards the doctorate door in the beginning, who listened to many meandering soliloquies along the way, and who remained by my side until the last word was written, I dedicate this dissertation to you. vi VITA OF SARAH JANE BABCOCK December 2020 EDUCATION Bachelor of Arts in Chinese Language, University of California, Berkeley, May 2003.

  • Zz027 Bd 45 Stanley Kwan 001-124 AK2.Indd
    Statt eines Vorworts – eine Einordnung. Stanley Kwan und das Hongkong-Kino Wenn wir vom Hongkong-Kino sprechen, dann haben wir bestimmte Bilder im Kopf: auf der einen Seite Jacky Chan, Bruce Lee und John Woo, einsame Detektive im Kampf gegen das Böse, viel Filmblut und die Skyline der rasantesten Stadt des Universums im Hintergrund. Dem ge- genüber stehen die ruhigen Zeitlupenfahrten eines Wong Kar-wai, der, um es mit Gilles Deleuze zu sagen, seine Filme nicht mehr als Bewe- gungs-Bild, sondern als Zeit-Bild inszeniert: Ebenso träge wie präzise erfährt und erschwenkt und ertastet die Kamera Hotelzimmer, Leucht- reklamen, Jukeboxen und Kioske. Er dehnt Raum und Zeit, Aktion in- teressiert ihn nicht sonderlich, eher das Atmosphärische. Wong Kar-wai gehört zu einer Gruppe von Regisseuren, die zur New Wave oder auch Second Wave des Hongkong-Kinos zu zählen sind. Ihr gehören auch Stanley Kwan, Fruit Chan, Ann Hui, Patrick Tam und Tsui Hark an, deren Filme auf internationalen Festivals laufen und liefen. Im Westen sind ihre Filme in der Literatur kaum rezipiert worden – und das will der vorliegende Band ändern. Neben Wong Kar-wai ist Stanley Kwan einer der wichtigsten Vertreter der New Wave, jener Nouvelle Vague des Hongkong-Kinos, die ihren künstlerischen und politischen Anspruch aus den Wirren der 1980er und 1990er Jahre zieht, als klar wurde, dass die Kronkolonie im Jahr 1997 von Großbritannien an die Volksrepublik China zurückgehen würde. Beschäftigen wir uns deshalb kurz mit der historischen Dimension. China hatte den Status der Kolonie nie akzeptiert, sprach von Hong- kong immer als unter »britischer Verwaltung« stehend.

  • Une Ardente Alchimie Ou L'immortalité Par Les Cuisines
    Une ardente alchimie ou l’immortalité par les cuisines. Vincent DURAND-DASTÈS Le statut des femmes dans les religions chinoises est, comme dans bien des systèmes religieux du monde, marqué par l’ambiguïté. Les femmes sont frappées d’infériorité à bien des égards, car considérées comme pouvant être rituellement impures et admises en portion relativement congrue dans la plupart des clergés. Pourtant, les religions chinoises comptent un nombre appréciable de déesses, qui occupent des positions parfois tout à fait éminentes, et toutes sortes de « spécialistes religieux » de sexe féminin, tout à fait indispensables à la vie religieuse des communautés, tels les medium et exorcistes. Certaines de ces prêtresses dirigèrent d’importants mouvements religieux, qui, s’étendant parfois à plusieurs comtés ou provinces, inquiétèrent sérieusement les autorités. Par ailleurs, en Chine comme en bien d’autres lieux, les fidèles de sexe féminin comptaient pour une grande partie de la « clientèle » des monastères et lieux de culte. Pourtant, une morale officielle prônant la stricte séparation des sexes tenta à maintes reprises d’écarter les femmes de l’activité religieuse, du moins lorsque celle-ci impliquait pour elles de franchir les limites de leur maisonnée1. Ecoutons par exemple ce discours tenu par le personnage d’un roman chinois du XVIIe siècle à un groupe de femmes qu’il a eu la surprise de rencontrer sur le chemin d’un temple où elles comptent faire leurs dévotions : 「是誰家沒禮義男子，放縱閨門婦女外游？有這等不知羞婦女，借口燒香，庵觀混雜。雖 然是釋門，清淨慈悲，普度善男信女，只恐藏奸導欲，引惹市井無賴頑心。女菩薩有這善 心，何不守婦道，不出閨門，在家堂焚香拜聖；何必瞞丈夫，信僧尼，入寺觀，出身露面 ，見像焚修！ 」 « Quelle est donc cette famille dont les hommes, sans principes ni bienséance, laissent leurs femmes se promener librement ? Et quelles femmes sans vergogne, qui prétextent un pèlerinage pour aller se plonger dans la promiscuité des temples ou des ermitages ! Même si elles vont chez des moines bouddhistes pleins de pureté et de compassion, dévoués à sauver les fidèles des deux sexes, on peut craindre qu’elles n’éveillent les désirs cachés des débauchés de la ville.

  • Chinese Models for Chōgen's Pure Land Buddhist Network
    Chinese Models for Chōgen’s Pure Land Buddhist Network Evan S. Ingram Chinese University of Hong Kong The medieval Japanese monk Chōgen 重源 (1121–1206), who so- journed at several prominent religious institutions in China during the Southern Song, used his knowledge of Chinese religious social or- ganizations to assist with the reconstruction of Tōdaiji 東大寺 after its destruction in the Gempei 源平 Civil War. Chōgen modeled the Buddhist societies at his bessho 別所 “satellite temples,” located on estates that raised funds and provided raw materials for the Tōdaiji reconstruction, upon the Pure Land societies that financed Tiantai天 台 temples in Ningbo 寧波 and Hangzhou 杭州. Both types of societ- ies formed as responses to catastrophes, encouraged diverse mem- berships of lay disciples and monastics, constituted geographical networks, and relied on a two-tiered structure. Also, Chōgen devel- oped Amidabutsu 阿弥陀仏 affiliation names similar in structure and function to those used by the “People of the Way” (daomin 道民) and other lay religious groups in southern China. These names created a collective identity for Chōgen’s devotees and established Chōgen’s place within a lineage of important Tōdaiji persons with the help of the Hishō 祕鈔, written by a Chōgen disciple. Chōgen’s use of religious social models from China were crucial for his fundraising and leader- ship of the managers, architects, sculptors, and workmen who helped rebuild Tōdaiji. Keywords: Chogen, Todaiji, Song Buddhism, Pure Land Buddhism, Pure Land society he medieval Japanese monk Chōgen 重源 (1121–1206) earned Trenown in his middle years as “the monk who traveled to China on three occasions,” sojourning at several of the most prominent religious institutions of the Southern Song (1127–1279), including Tiantaishan 天台山 and Ayuwangshan 阿育王山.

A decade later, however, the global village still faces the continued reality of suffering, whether it is the slaughter of innocents in politically volatile regions, the ongoing economic crisis that currently roils the world financial system, or repeated natural disasters. Buddhism has always taught that the world is inherently unstable and its teachings are rooted in the perception of the three marks that govern all conditioned existence: impermanence, suffering, and non-self. Indeed, the veracity of the Buddhist worldview continues to be borne out by our collective experience today.

  • The Contrast of Chinese and English in the Translation of Chinese Poetry
    Asian Social Science December, 2008 The Contrast of Chinese and English in the Translation of Chinese Poetry Ning Li Continuing Education College Beijing Information Science & Technology University Beijing 100076, China E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Chinese poetry is the soul of Chinese literature and Chinese culture. A good translation of a Chinese verse can promote the prevalence of Chinese culture. In the translation of Chinese poetry, translators should not only keep the characteristics of Chinese poems, but also embody the English characteristics. This article analyzed some versions of translation and proposed factors affecting the translation of Chinese poetry. Keywords: Chinese Poetry, Translation, Contrast 1. Introduction Chinese poetry is one of the most important parts in Chinese literature. Since The Book of Odes, the first poetry collection written by Confucius in the spring-autumn period was known by people, Chinese poetry has developed quickly. In the Tang Dynasty, Chinese poetry was at its peak. In this period, many immortal poems were written and had great influence on the later Dynasties. In the later Dynasties, Chinese poetry went on its development. But because of the development of other literary styles—Yuan Songs (drama created mainly in Yuan Dynasty), novels, and essays, poetry is no longer the major literary style. In this article, I’d like to talk about the contrast of Chinese and English in the translation of Tang-poems. Tang-poems has very strict phonological format. In each stanza, there are five (in quatrains) or seven (in regulated verses) words. Using limited words to express unlimited sense is the major characteristic of Chinese poetry.
