  • Claiming Martial Arts in the Qing Period
    Internal Cultivation or External Strength?: Claiming Martial Arts in the Qing Period Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ian McNally, B.A. Graduate Program in East Asian Studies The Ohio State University 2019 Thesis Committee: Ying Zhang, Adviser Morgan Liu Patricia Sieber i Copyright by Ian McNally 2019 ii Abstract Martial arts in China has always had multiple meanings, depending on the context in which it was understood. This project seeks to evaluate what the different meanings of martial arts changed over the Qing period and how different people employed these understandings at different times and in different circumstances. By placing martial arts as the focal point of analysis, something rarely seen in academic scholarship, this project highlights how there the definition of martial arts has always been in flux and it is precisely that lack of definition that has made it useful. This project begins by focusing on establishing a historical overview of the circumstances during the Qing period within which martial arts developed. It also analyzes and defines both the important analytical and local terminology used in relation to discourse surrounding the martial arts. Chapter 1 looks at official documents and analyzes how the Qing court understood martial arts as a means of creating a political narrative and how the form of that narrative changed during the Qing, depending on the situations that required court intervention. Chapter 2 will analyze how Han martial artists employed their martial arts as a means of developing or preserving a sense of ethnic strength.

  • Kung-Fu – Musings on the Philosophical Background of Chinese Martial Arts
    Kung-fu – Musings on the philosophical background of Chinese Martial Arts Karl-Heinz Pohl (Trier) Until the era of Mao Zedong, China had the reputation of a pacifist country. This image derives not only from the classical scriptures – Confucians have held a deep disregard for fighting and war, upholding instead harmonic relationships between people and nations. Daoists likewise despised aggression. But also early Western observers of China, such as the Jesuit missionaries in the 17th century, confirmed these impressions: They noticed that the Chinese, in their pacifistic attitude and disregard for military matters, lived up to the "higher teachings of Christ". But as Louis Daniel LeComte, a French Jesuit, remarked warningly in 1696: "By these restraints, Chinese politics may prevent uproar in the interior, but it risks for its people being involved in wars with foreign powers which might be even more dangerous." Only two hundred years later, LeComte's prognostic warnings turned into reality during the Opium wars with the European powers.1 And yet, throughout Chinese history, there had been continuous struggles and wars just like everywhere else. This contradiction between apparent pacifism and warlike reality might be explained by the familiar contradiction between ideal and reality. To maintain certain ideals in a society does not necessarily mean that these ideals will be put into practice. Considering two thousand years of Christian history in Europe, one could dismiss the Christian ideals of peace and charity as rather unrealistic. At the same time, these very ideals are, in a secular manner, still the guidelines of Western and even the United Nations' policy making, although they are still constantly being offended.

  • A Philosophical Look at the Asian Martial Arts by Barry Allen Michael Wert Marquette University, [email protected]
    Marquette University e-Publications@Marquette History Faculty Research and Publications History, Department of 6-1-2016 Review of Striking Beauty: A Philosophical Look at the Asian Martial Arts by Barry Allen Michael Wert Marquette University, [email protected] Published version. Philosophy in Review, Vol. 36, No. 3 (June 2016): 91-93. Permalink. © 2016 University of Victoria. Used with permission. Philosophy in Review XXXVI (June 2016), no. 3 Barry Allen. Striking Beauty: A Philosophical Look at the Asian Martial Arts. Columbia University Press 2015. 272 pp. $30.00 USD (Hardcover ISBN 9780231172721). Recently, the martial arts have received greater attention from English speaking scholars, mostly in the humanities and some social sciences (Japanese and Chinese language scholarship, absent in this volume, have been around much longer.) There are sociological and anthropological studies of martial arts practice and practitioners, works that analyze martial arts in various media with martial arts literature, theater, and film studies leading this field, and the occasional historical monograph. There is even a newly established journal, Martial Arts Studies, with an affiliated annual conference. Like other academic martial arts monographs, Allen brings his academic expertise, in this case philosophy, into conversation with his hobby. He uses his knowledge of philosophy to ask whether there can be beauty in an activity that, he argues, was originally intended to train people for violence. He wrestles with the aesthetic qualities of martial arts on the one hand and, on the other, the ethical problem posed by participating in what seems to be an art created for violence. Along the way he uses martial arts as a lens for describing Chinese philosophy because all martial arts in East Asia were influenced by the philosophical and religious traditions that originated or changed in China.

  • Contesting the Commercialization and Sanctity of Religious Tourism In
    Contesting the Commercialization and Sanctity of Religious Tourism in The Shaolin Monastery, China Abstract The Shaolin Monastery annually attracts millions of visitors from around the world. However, the overcommercialization of these sacred places may contradict the values and philosophies of Buddhism. This study aims to comprehensively understand the balance between commercialization and sanctity, engaging with 58 Chinese practitioners and educators in 7 focus groups. Participants articulated their expectation to avoid overcommercialization, and they discussed the conflicts between commercialization and sanctity to further explore on how to mitigate over commercialization. Based on the study findings, a balanced model of religious tourism development is proposed and specific recommendations are offered to sustainably manage religious sites. Keywords: Shaolin monastery, kung fu, culture, commercialization, sanctity, religion INTRODUCTION A popular Chinese saying states that “All martial arts under heaven arose out of the Shaolin Monastery.” The Shaolin Monastery is the birthplace of Dhyana (also known as Zen, a Buddhism philosophy that emphasizes internal meditation) and Shaolin kung fu, which evolved from Buddhism. This martial art tradition, which spanned for over 1,500 years, involves the Shaolin monks learning the Buddhism doctrines and practicing the Dhyana (Chan) philosophy in their martial arts. This practice has distinguished Shaolin kung fu from other types of Chinese kung fu (The Shaolin Monastery, 2010). The movie Shaolin Monastery released in 1982 established the global reputation of Chinese kung fu and the Shaolin Monastery. A number of movies are also made subsequently based on topics involving Chinese kung fu and the monastery. For example, the recent movie, The Grand Masters (2013), introduced kung fu worldwide as a fascinating element of the Chinese culture.

  • Transmitting Health Philosophies Through the Traditionalist Chinese Martial Arts in the UK
    Societies 2014, 4, 712–736; doi:10.3390/soc4040712 OPEN ACCESS societies ISSN 2075-4698 www.mdpi.com/journal/societies Article Transmitting Health Philosophies through the Traditionalist Chinese Martial Arts in the UK George Jennings Universidad YMCA/Lago Alberto 337, Col. Anáhuac, Delegación Miguel Hidalgo, 11320 Mexico City, Mexico; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +52-1-55-4821-2028 External Editor: Dale C. Spencer Received: 27 July 2014; in revised form: 29 October 2014 / Accepted: 27 November 2014/ Published: 10 December 2014 Abstract: The dynamic relationships between “martial arts”, society and health remain unclear, particularly due to research that typically views health in a purely biomedical and compartmentalized way. Martial arts and combat sports (MACS) offer a diversity of disciplines with their own intended training outcomes and techne. The traditionalist Chinese martial arts (TCMAs), such as Taijiquan (Tai Chi Chuan) and Wing Chun Kung Fu, stress health promotion/preservation, personal development and lifelong practice. Adopting a structurationist framework, this article explores the connections between three distinct philosophies of health and TCMAs, institutions spreading such discourse, and the personal narratives of transformation and self-cultivation through these embodied art forms. Taking a perspective starting from the practitioners themselves, I explore the interplay between discourse and narrative as applied in everyday British society. Following detailed qualitative analysis, “Western scientific”, “contemporary Daoist” and “New Age” health philosophies are identified as explored via three detailed, reflexive cases of long-term practitioner-instructors, their schools and documents that connect them to international exponents across time. This article thus contributes to sociological knowledge on MACS and health, while considering the connections between health philosophies, discourse and narrative.

  • Introduction 1
    NOTES Introduction 1. One immediately encounters a “term problem” in discussing a phenomenology of race. Terms such as “Chinese” and “white” suddenly become woefully inadequate (as if they were not so already). I try to address this problem in a straightfor- ward way: when I wish to call attention to the term problem within the context of my arguments, I place quotation marks around terms like “Chinese,” “Euro-American,” “foreigner,” “white,” et cetera. When I momentarily ask that the reader accept these categories, for example, in my discussion of Chinese history and Chinese American immigration, I refrain from using quotation marks. 2. Gongfu, commonly written in English as “kung fu,” also refers to “skill,” “work,” or “time.” The “kung fu” that has become part of American vernacular functions in English as a kind of catch-all term for Chinese martial arts, but it is more often used this way in Chinese, for example, when the conversation revolves around foreign practice of martial arts or when the term wushu is avoided. Wushu is the term for “martial arts” in Mandarin Chinese, but it has acquired a complicated associa- tion with performance-oriented martial arts that have little or nothing to do with combat training. Practitioners will usually refer to a particular art by its style name or family association. 3. The style is properly referred to as “Wu style taijiquan” (Wu shi taijiquan). When I conflate “Wu” and “Ma” family names, my purpose is to specify the lineage that has developed through the married couple of Ma Yueliang and Wu Yinghua.
