  • The Heritage of Non-Theistic Belief in China
    The Heritage of Non-theistic Belief in China Joseph A. Adler Kenyon College Presented to the international conference, "Toward a Reasonable World: The Heritage of Western Humanism, Skepticism, and Freethought" (San Diego, September 2011) Naturalism and humanism have long histories in China, side-by-side with a long history of theistic belief. In this paper I will first sketch the early naturalistic and humanistic traditions in Chinese thought. I will then focus on the synthesis of these perspectives in Neo-Confucian religious thought. I will argue that these forms of non-theistic belief should be considered aspects of Chinese religion, not a separate realm of philosophy. Confucianism, in other words, is a fully religious humanism, not a "secular humanism." The religion of China has traditionally been characterized as having three major strands, the "three religions" (literally "three teachings" or san jiao) of Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism. Buddhism, of course, originated in India in the 5th century BCE and first began to take root in China in the 1st century CE, so in terms of early Chinese thought it is something of a latecomer. Confucianism and Daoism began to take shape between the 5th and 3rd centuries BCE. But these traditions developed in the context of Chinese "popular religion" (also called folk religion or local religion), which may be considered a fourth strand of Chinese religion. And until the early 20th century there was yet a fifth: state religion, or the "state cult," which had close relations very early with both Daoism and Confucianism, but after the 2nd century BCE became associated primarily (but loosely) with Confucianism.

The background of such immigration, along with various Chinese titles to designate Muslims, their communities, and their leaders demonstrate the earliest forms of recognition of the Muslims by the Chinese people. The article focuses on the studies of the Muslim leaders’ duties and their confrontations with the Chinese legal system; to adapt to a new society, a community must undergo acculturation. Finally, the system of Muslim leaders was improved by the succeeding Mongol Yuan dynasty, by which time it became an established tradition that has been passed on by the Hui people until today.

  • Introduction
    CHAPTER 1 Introduction It was in the chilly morning of 3 March 2004, hundreds of men and women nervously waited in a magnificent ballroom. Outside the building, more than ten thousand men and women patiently lined up in prepara- tion to welcome their distinguished guests. When presidential candidate Lian Zhang and vice presidential candidate James Song arrived, the crowd’s emotion exploded with thundering applause and repeated shouts of: “Lian-Song, Dongswan!” (which means “winning the election” in Tai- wanese dialect.) Joyful tears ran down on their faces like waterfalls. The solemn host rose and made an inspiring welcome speech. He vehemently accused President Chen Shui-bian for his miserable economic perfor- mance, disasterous social policies, acrimonious ethnic maneuvers, viola- tions of religious rights, sabbotage of democracy, and provocation of war in the Taiwan Straits. Fists clenched, he spoke loudly and with exaggerated body language. Bitterness, anger, and frustration permeated the air and the crowd’s mind. “Only Lian Zhang can save us from these political, social, and economic disasters,” he emphatically concluded. During his speech, the crowd echoed every sentence the host said with deafening applause and “Lian-Song, Dongswan.”1 This might have been any of the ordinary campaign gatherings dur- ing an ordinary election in an ordinary democracy. But this campaign was anything but ordinary. The hall was not at the headquarters of any politi- cal party but at the center of a newly constructed Buddhist temple worth US$ 300 million. The emotional men and women were not devoted party workers or representatives, but monks, nuns, and sincere believers of the otherwise tranquil temple.

  • Replace This with the Actual Title Using All Caps
    INVENTING A WOLFISH CHINA - ON JIANG RONG’S WOLF TOTEM 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 by Dongming Shen August 2012 © 2012 Dongming Shen ABSTRACT The Wolf Totem by Jiang Rong has won great success both in and out of China. Jiang Rong criticizes Han Chinese and embraces the culture of the northern ethnic minority group, the Mongols, because of its stronger sense of competition and domination. In the epilogue of this novel, Jiang argues that the wolf totem was the most ancient totem for all Chinese people and retells Chinese history using this framework. This paper explores the background of the novel and its author, as well as supporting materials the author uses in his proposal concerning the wolf totem, and suggests that the wolf totem is a purely ideological invention of Jiang Rong. This invention reflects Jiang’s own philosophy and caters to the cultural needs of modern Chinese people. In inventing the wolf totem, the author uses historical documents, archeological findings, as well as a far-fetched bodily metaphor. However, none of this evidence is validated by scholarly research. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Dongming Shen is currently a graduate student in the Department of Asian Studies at Cornell University. Her field is East Asian Studies. Her research interests include Chinese mythology and Christianity in late imperial China. She received her undergraduate degree in English Literature and Social Science Studies at Nanjing University and her Master of Public Administration at Cornell University.

  • Men's Sexual and Prostate Problems in Chinese Medicine
    ‘Traditional created by Formulae for the ® Modern World’ MEN’S SEXUAL AND PROSTATE PROBLEMS IN CHINESE MEDICINE While Chinese medicine has a rich tradition in the diagnosis and treatment of gynaecological problems, fewer ancient or modern texts are dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of men’s problems. For example, Chinese medicine refers to the “Uterus” in all its classic texts, but no mention is ever made of the prostate. The Du Mai, Ren Mai and Chong Mai are said to arise in the Lower Burner and flow through the uterus: but where do they flow through in men? The classics do not say. The present newsletter will discuss the physiology of men’s sexual organs including the prostate, some aspects of pathology and the treatment of the following conditions: • Impotence • Premature ejaculation • Low sperm count • Benign prostatic hypertrophy • Prostatitis Before discussing the treatment of specific conditions, we should look at the channels that affect men’s genital system and how the penis, testis, seminal vesicles and prostate fit in Chinese Medicine. Chapter 65 of the “Spiritual Axis” says: “The Directing and Penetrating Vessels originate from the Lower Dan Tian [literally”Bao”].”1. 1981 Spiritual Axis (Ling Shu Jing [#ch]), People’s Health Publishing House, Beijing, p. 120. First published c. 100 BC. The actual term used by the “Spiritual Axis” is “Bao” which is often translated as “uterus”. However, while the term “Zi Bao” refers to the Uterus, the word “Bao” indicates a structure that is common to both men and women: in women, it is the Uterus, in men, it is the “Room of Sperm”.

  • Pre-Train, Prompt, and Predict: a Systematic Survey of Prompting Methods in Natural Language Processing
    Pre-train, Prompt, and Predict: A Systematic Survey of Prompting Methods in Natural Language Processing Pengfei Liu Weizhe Yuan Jinlan Fu Carnegie Mellon University Carnegie Mellon University National University of Singapore [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Zhengbao Jiang Hiroaki Hayashi Graham Neubig Carnegie Mellon University Carnegie Mellon University Carnegie Mellon University [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract This paper surveys and organizes research works in a new paradigm in natural language processing, which we dub “prompt-based learning”. Unlike traditional supervised learning, which trains a model to take in an input x and predict an output y as P (y x), prompt-based learning is based on language models that model the probability of text directly. To usej these models to perform prediction tasks, the original input x is modified using a template into a textual string prompt x0 that has some unfilled slots, and then the language model is used to probabilistically fill the unfilled information to obtain a final string x^, from which the final output y can be derived. This framework is powerful and attractive for a number of reasons: it allows the language model to be pre-trained on massive amounts of raw text, and by defining a new prompting function the model is able to perform few-shot or even zero-shot learning, adapting to new scenarios with few or no labeled data. In this paper we introduce the basics of this promising paradigm, describe a unified set of mathematical notations that can cover a wide variety of existing work, and organize existing work along several dimensions, e.g.
