Painting Inscriptions As Enduring Objects
Cover Page The handle http://hdl.handle.net/1887/44098 holds various files of this Leiden University dissertation Author: Wenxin Wang Title: A social history of painting inscriptions in Ming China (1368-1644) Issue Date: 2016-10-26 271 Chapter 5 Portrait Inscriptions and Re-Inscriptions: “The Decaying Brushstrokes Are Where Your Spirits Rest” The word chuan in Xie Chengju’s poem, cited in the introduction to this dissertation, demonstrates that Ming painting inscriptions not only addressed issues of the present, but also issues of the past and the future. This chapter adds the dimension of time to the social history of painting inscriptions, vis-a-vis time that was conceptually and socially meaningful to the Ming people.1 The first part of this chapter focuses on a specific genre of Chinese panting: portraiture. It is concerned with portrait inscriptions as a significant device for mediating portrait inscribers and social interactions and a device enabling the inscribers to reproduce themselves for identity construction. This part also investigates portrait inscriptions as texts that, being independent from the portraits, had their way of multiplication and circulation. The previous discussions on inscriptions in manuscripts and printing books prepared the foundations for understanding portrait inscriptions in this context. Portraiture was not the only situation that frequently invited Ming people to ponder the relationship between their inscriptions 5 and a changing environment. The second part of this chapter deals with the idea of re-encountering a painting (including a portrait) that one had once painted, viewed, inscribed or owned, or a painting that had carried many inscriptions by people in the past. -

Advisor: Professor Michael Szonyi Ian Matthew Miller Roots and Branches: Woodland Institutions in South China, 800-1600 Abstract In this dissertation I trace the evolution of the institutions governing woodland in South China over the longue durée. I claim that after a high point of state forestry the imperial government lost both the interest and the ability to manage woodland effectively. Forestry was largely taken over by lineages - kin groups organized around the worship of shared ancestors. I tie this transition in woodland governance to two interrelated trends: growth in the power and independence of lineage organizations, and of long-distance trade in wood products. -

Infrastructures of Language and Chinese Scripts in an Age of Global Information Revolution Ulug Kuzuoglu
Codes of Modernity: Infrastructures of Language and Chinese Scripts In an Age of Global Information Revolution Ulug Kuzuoglu Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 ©2018 Ulug Kuzuoglu All rights reserved ABSTRACT Codes of Modernity: Infrastructures of Language and Chinese Scripts in an Age of Global Information Revolution Ulug Kuzuoglu This dissertation explores the global history of Chinese script reforms—the effort to phoneticize Chinese language and/or simplify the writing system—from its inception in the 1890s to its demise in the 1980s. These reforms took place at the intersection of industrialization, colonialism, and new information technologies, such as alphabet-based telegraphy and breakthroughs in printing technologies. As these social and technological transformations put unprecedented pressure on knowledge management and the use of mental and clerical labor, many Chinese intellectuals claimed that learning Chinese characters consumed too much time and mental energy. Chinese script reforms, this dissertation argues, were an effort to increase speed in producing, transmitting, and accessing information, and thus meet the demands of the industrializing knowledge economy. The industrializing knowledge economy that this dissertation explores was built on and sustained by a psychological understanding of the human subject as a knowledge machine, and it was part of a global moment in which the optimization of labor in knowledge production was a key concern for all modernizing economies. While Chinese intellectuals were inventing new signs of inscription, American behavioral psychologists, Soviet psycho-economists, and Central Asian and Ottoman technicians were all experimenting with new scripts in order to increase mental efficiency and productivity. -

Chinese 1418 Map 236.3 TITLE
Chinese 1418 Map 236.3 TITLE: 1418 Map DATE: 1418/1763 copy AUTHOR: Mo Yi Tong DESCRIPTION: A map showing that Chinese fleets circumnavigated and charted the entire globe as early as 1418, well before the Europeans, was unveiled in January 2006. Since then this map, like the Vinland Map (#243), has been met with skepticism from many cartographic and Chinese historians. Several professors even alleged “[This] map was faked by someone in the 20th century”. The map was purchased by Mr. Liu Gang, a distinguished Chinese lawyer and art collector, in 2001. He acquired it from an old map/book dealer in Shanghai. After the purchase of the map, Liu Gang started to search for the source of the map, as well as the depictions and descriptions shown on the map. This research led to exploring the common knowledge about Zheng He’s seven voyages during the 14th century. After reading the Gavin Menzies book, “1421 – the year China discovered America” he became fully confident on the genuineness of the map and realized that he was not the only person to question the common understanding about the discovery of the world. The map is finely illustrated on bamboo paper with ink and soft colors. It immediately impresses the viewer with its simplicity, elegance and clarity. It measures 59.6 x 41.7 cm but is not a precise rectangle (i.e., it is not A2 size). In the top right hand corner are six Chinese characters that mean “general chart of the integrated world”. The mapmaker has written “(this chart is) drawn by Mo Yi Tong, a subject (of Qing dynasty) in the year of 1763 by imitating a world chart made in 1418 showing the Barbarians paying tribute” (to the Ming dynasty). -
