Clayton, Chairperson Edward L. Davis Kate Lingley Acknowledgments First of all, I would like to thank all of my committee members including Prof Cathryn Clayton, Prof Edward Davis, and Prof Kate Lingley. I would also like to thank Mr. Starr and his foundation and the Asian Studies Program, which granted me enough funding to do fieldwork in China in winter 2018 and summer 2019. During the fieldwork, I visited all the places mentioned in this paper and collected enough evidence to support my research and argument. In addition, I would like to thank my family. They accompanied me and drove me across the whole province of Shanxi, on rugged and bumpy roads, to find these hidden temples located on remote mountainsides. I would also like to thank my friend Yufei Ye, who drove me and acted as a guide on my visit to Fujian province. Last but not least, my girlfriend Rui helped me a lot and gave me the emotional and psychological support I need to be able to finish this paper on time. In this paper, I have a two-track argument. One track presents a new hypothesis on the identity of the Water God of Guangsheng Monastery. However, as I mentioned in the paper, there is no direct evidence to prove this identity; my argument is largely conjecture. The second and more substantiated argument concerns the relationship between Chinese political tradition, religion, and social justice. The hypothesis of Water God’s identity was a clue that pointed me in the direction of this argument but is not direct evidence to support it. In fact, the reason why local people forgot the identity of Water God is what serves as evidence for the second track of my argument. 1 Abstract: This paper focuses on a Yuan dynasty Water God Temple in Hongtong County, Shanxi Province, China and hopes using this temple to research the special relation between Chinese political tradition, folk religion, and social justice. This paper used two argument tracks. The first argument track is focusing on the identity of Water God himself. The second but core argument track is to discuss the relation between Chinese political tradition, folk religion, and social justice. The first argument is not the evidence but a very important clue to finish the main argument. In conclude, both political authority and local communities were using folk religion as tool to search their benefits and remain social justice. The benefit for authority is the stability but the benefit for local communities is water, the resource. In the end, a Water God from folk religion became the symbol of social justice. Keywords Water God Temple, Ming Ying Wang, Guangsheng Monastery, Chinese Political Tradition, Folk Religion, Social Justice 2 Introduction The Water God Temple of the Guangsheng Monastery (广胜寺水神庙) (Table 1) is in Hongtong County (洪洞县), Shanxi province (山西省), in the lower Fen River valley (Fig.1). Its location is 17 kilometers to the northeast of today’s Hongtong city. The temple sits on the north bank of the Huo Springs (霍泉), facing the Huo Canal (霍渠). To the east of temple is the Mount Huo (霍山). On top of the mountain lies the Upper Guangsheng Monastery (广胜寺上寺). Today, the Water God Temple is referred to as the Lower Guangsheng Monastery (广胜寺下寺). Its principal hall is dedicated to Ming Ying Wang, or King of Luminous Response (明应王), also known as the Water God, and its four walls are adorned with some of the most beautiful Yuan-dynasty religious frescos extant in China (Table 2). Despite the fame of these frescos, only the southeastern portion of the murals has been examined in any detail, and scholarly discussion of the frescos on the other three walls is limited. The mural on the southeastern wall is a very important resource for research into Chinese theater. There have been four attempts to explain the temple murals, but only two of these focus on all four walls. In a paper published in 1981, Chai Zejun and Zhu Xiyuan divide the murals into thirteen units or separate compositions (tu 图).1 They emphasize the realism of these compositions, which describe different historical scenes from life in the Yuan dynasty. But scholars have totally ignored the religious context and significance of these paintings, and the main theme linking all these paintings has gone unnoticed. Although Chai and Zhu assign names to each of their thirteen ‘compositions,’ 1 Chai Zejun and Zhu Xiyuan, “Guangshengsi Bihua Chutan 广胜寺壁画初探.” 3 these titles do not correspond to the content or meaning of the paintings. For example, they call the painting on the southwest wall “The Thousand-Mile Journey of Tang Taizong” (Tang Taizong Qianli Xingjing Tu 唐太宗千里行径图), but the scholar Liu Nianzi has concluded, “It is not certain if the painting depicts this story.”2 This legend will be discussed in the later part of this paper. Furthermore, Jing Anning provides additional evidence that the person in this painting is not the Tang emperor, noting that the person wears the costume of a low-level Yuan-style official.3 It is obvious that, to some degree, Chai and Zhu’s research is only conjectural, but it is an important initial hypothesis. Their papers, however, are very short, and do not provide enough evidence to support it. A second explanation of the murals may be found in a 1990 paper by Isobe Akira.4 He rejects the notion of multiple isolated compositions. He thinks the murals present a singular theme: ‘Liu Quan Presents Pumpkins’ (Liu Quan Jin Gua 刘全进瓜). This is also the name of a Yuan drama, the complete text of which has been lost.5 Although the play is no longer extant, Isobe Akira reconstructs the plot based on quotations and references in later sources, including a Qing period legend called Fishing Boat (Diaoyu 2 Liu, “Yuan Zaju Yanchu Xingshi De Jidian Chubu Kanfa 元杂剧演出的几点初步看法.” p.68 3 Jing, The Water God’s Temple of the Guangsheng Monastery: Cosmic Function of Art, Ritual and Theater, p.74. 4 Isobe, “Kosho Ji Myoo o Ten No Gendai Gikyoku Hekiga No Gadai Ni Tsuite.” 5 The story of Liuquan Presenting the Pumpkin is that when Emperor Taizong of the Tang was saved from Hell, he asked a volunteer to present a golden pumpkin to the King of Hell (Yan Wang,阎王) on his behalf, as a token of his appreciation. Low-ranking general Liu Quan, whose wife had committed suicide, offered himself to Taizong as an ambassador. When he arrived in hell, he presented the golden pumpkin to the King of Hell and also asked if his wife might return with him to the world of the living. The King of Hell approved his request, but his wife’s corpse had already rotted away, so a new body had to be found for her soul. Liu Quan asked Tang Taizong to allow him to borrow the corpse of the Yuying Princess (玉英公主) for his wife to inhabit. Taizong approved and let him marry the reborn Yuying Princess. The question remains, however, as to why the painters used this story to decorate the main hall of the Water God Temple. Isobe Akira finds no narrative or religious links between the Water God and the story of Liu Quan and his wife. 4 chuan 钓鱼船) and the twelfth chapter of the Journey to the West (Xiyou Ji 西游记), one of four famous novels of the Ming Dynasty.6 Although Isobe’s explanation is not strong enough to prove the relation between the Water God, Liu Quan and the Ming Ying Wang, the link between the murals and the stories in the Journey to the West is still a very important clue as to the theme and the meaning of the murals inside the Ming Ying Wang Hall. At present, the meaning of the murals inside the Ming Ying Wang Hall remains obscure. This paper will offer an interpretation of the murals, taking several clues from the paintings as potential evidence. Recorded information on the paintings or in texts is very limited, as is our understanding of the identity of the Ming Ying Wang himself. However, my analysis of the social and political context of the lower Fen River valley from the Tang through Yuan will suggest a new hypothesis concerning the identity of Ming Ying Wang: namely, that the King of Luminous Response, the Water God of the Lower Guangsheng Monastery, was first identified with the Tang Marshal Guo Ziyi (郭 子仪); then transferred to the Fenyang Guo clan, who were his descendants; then became a local immortal with power over water, and finally became the Water God with responsibility over water distribution and irrigation in Hongtong county. In the end, he became an omnipotent deity who controlled the everyday life of the local agricultural community. Anning Jing presents a comprehensive argument in his book, The Water God’s Temple of the Guangsheng Monastery: Cosmic Function of Art, Ritual and Theater. He 6 Isobe, p. 57. 5 tries to explain the Water God and his temple in terms of the Chinese cosmic system and how it was an instantiation of local religion and the visible patterns of art and theater. This paper will continue the discussion of the Chinese cosmic system, but will focus on the relation between religion and art.

    Special Feature s e v i a t Realisms within Conundrum c n i e h The Personal and Authentic Appeal in Jia Zhangke’s Accented Films (1) p s c r e ESTHER M. K. CHEUNG p With persistent efforts on constructing personal and collective memories arising from the unprecedented transformations in post-socialist China, Jia Zhangke has produced an ensemble of realist films with an impressive personal and authentic appeal. This paper examines how his films are characterised by a variety of accents, images of authenticity, a quotidian ambience, and a new sense of materiality within the local-global nexus. Within a tripartite model of truth, identity, and performance, Jia’s oeuvres demonstrate the powerful performativity of different modes of realism arising out of a state of conundrum when China undergoes a transition from planned economy into wholesale marketisation and globalisation. The appeal of Jia Zhangke’s fined to documentary realism. His films serve to write up a accented cinema history of his generation: rom his first feature Xiao Wu (aka The Pickpocket , I made these films because I wanted to compensate 1997) to 24 City (2008), Jia Zhangke’s films have for what was not fulfilled. I must also emphasise that Fbeen characterised by an impressive personal and au - apart from the realist mode, there are other kinds of thentic appeal.

  • Jingjiao Under the Lenses of Chinese Political Theology
    religions Article Jingjiao under the Lenses of Chinese Political Theology Chin Ken-pa Department of Philosophy, Fu Jen Catholic University, New Taipei City 24205, Taiwan; [email protected] Received: 28 May 2019; Accepted: 16 September 2019; Published: 26 September 2019 Abstract: Conflict between religion and state politics is a persistent phenomenon in human history. Hence it is not surprising that the propagation of Christianity often faces the challenge of “political theology”. When the Church of the East monk Aluoben reached China in 635 during the reign of Emperor Tang Taizong, he received the favorable invitation of the emperor to translate Christian sacred texts for the collections of Tang Imperial Library. This marks the beginning of Jingjiao (oY) mission in China. In historiographical sense, China has always been a political domineering society where the role of religion is subservient and secondary. A school of scholarship in Jingjiao studies holds that the fall of Jingjiao in China is the obvious result of its over-involvement in local politics. The flaw of such an assumption is the overlooking of the fact that in the Tang context, it is impossible for any religious establishments to avoid getting in touch with the Tang government. In the light of this notion, this article attempts to approach this issue from the perspective of “political theology” and argues that instead of over-involvement, it is rather the clashing of “ideologies” between the Jingjiao establishment and the ever-changing Tang court’s policies towards foreigners and religious bodies that caused the downfall of Jingjiao Christianity in China. This article will posit its argument based on the analysis of the Chinese Jingjiao canonical texts, especially the Xian Stele, and takes this as a point of departure to observe the political dynamics between Jingjiao and Tang court.

Journal Compilation © 2007 Joint Editors and Blackwell Publishing Ltd200731225779Original ArticlesReflections on places and place-making in ChinaJohn Friedmann Volume 31.2 June 2007 257–79 International Journal of Urban and Regional Research DOI:10.1111/j.1468-2427.2007.00726.x Reflections on Place and Place-making in the Cities of China JOHN FRIEDMANN Abstract This article is about the small spaces of the city we call ‘places’. Places are shaped by being lived in; they are spaces of encounter where the little histories of the city are played out. They are, of course, also shaped by the state through planning, supervision, ordinances, and so forth. The patterns and rhythms of life in the small spaces of the city are therefore not simply a straightforward projection of civil life. Places are also sites of resistance, contestation, and actions that are often thought to be illegal by the (local) state. After introducing the concept of place, the remainder of this article is a reflection on places and place-making (but also place-breaking) in urban China. Because the patterns and rhythms of urban life have continuity, however, my approach to their study was historical. The story told here is roughly divided into four major periods: Imperial China, Republican China, the People’s Republic under Mao Zedong, and the reform period from about 1980 onward. I then return to the concepts of place and place-making with which I began, summarizing my findings and suggesting some topics for further research.

  • Inscriptional Records of the Western Zhou
    INSCRIPTIONAL RECORDS OF THE WESTERN ZHOU Robert Eno Fall 2012 Note to Readers The translations in these pages cannot be considered scholarly. They were originally prepared in early 1988, under stringent time pressures, specifically for teaching use that term. Although I modified them sporadically between that time and 2012, my final year of teaching, their purpose as course materials, used in a week-long classroom exercise for undergraduate students in an early China history survey, did not warrant the type of robust academic apparatus that a scholarly edition would have required. Since no broad anthology of translations of bronze inscriptions was generally available, I have, since the late 1990s, made updated versions of this resource available online for use by teachers and students generally. As freely available materials, they may still be of use. However, as specialists have been aware all along, there are many imperfections in these translations, and I want to make sure that readers are aware that there is now a scholarly alternative, published last month: A Source Book of Ancient Chinese Bronze Inscriptions, edited by Constance Cook and Paul Goldin (Berkeley: Society for the Study of Early China, 2016). The “Source Book” includes translations of over one hundred inscriptions, prepared by ten contributors. I have chosen not to revise the materials here in light of this new resource, even in the case of a few items in the “Source Book” that were contributed by me, because a piecemeal revision seemed unhelpful, and I am now too distant from research on Western Zhou bronzes to undertake a more extensive one.

  • List 3. Headings That Need to Be Changed from the Machine- Converted Form
    LIST 3. HEADINGS THAT NEED TO BE CHANGED FROM THE MACHINE- CONVERTED FORM The data dictionary for the machine conversion of subject headings was prepared in summer 2000 based on the systematic romanization of Wade-Giles terms in existing subject headings identified as eligible for conversion before detailed examination of the headings could take place. When investigation of each heading was subsequently undertaken, it was discovered that some headings needed to be revised to forms that differed from the forms that had been given in the data dictionary. This occurred most frequently when older headings no longer conformed to current policy, or in the case of geographic headings, when conflicts were discovered using current geographic reference sources, for example, the listing of more than one river or mountain by the same name in China. Approximately 14% of the subject headings in the pinyin conversion project were revised differently than their machine- converted forms. To aid in bibliographic file maintenance, the following list of those headings is provided. In subject authority records for the revised headings, Used For references (4XX) coded Anne@ in the $w control subfield for earlier form of heading have been supplied for the data dictionary forms as well as the original forms of the headings.

Recent scholarship on state-religion relations in China has highlighted the continuities between republican-era and PRC anti-superstition campaigns and state management of religion, as well as the creative adaptation of religious groups within an unfavourable regulatory environment. Negotiating religion is an excellent addition to this literature, using the case of Guangzhou fron the late 19th century to the 1930s. The first reform to affect the traditional religious ecology was the “convert temples to schools” movement, which began in 1898. It was the large Buddhist and Daoist monasteries that were the first targets of this campaign, rather than the more numerous territorial temples. An important reason was that territorial temples were owned and managed by entire local communities, represented by their local elites, rather than by small numbers of socially stigmatized monks and nuns.
