Hong Tae-yong, who wanted to learn advanced Western technology, met Hallerstein personally three times and asked him about various aspects of astronomy, Western technology, musical instruments, and Catholicism. He recorded these encounters in classical Chinese in one of the chapters of Tamhŏn yŏn’gi 湛軒燕記 (Hong Tae-yong’s record of an embassy to Beijing), entitled “Yu P’o mundap” 劉鮑問答 (Questions and answers with Hallerstein and Gogeisl). He also recorded these encounters in vernacular Korean in his Ŭlbyŏng yŏnhaengnok 乙丙燕行錄 (Record of an embassy to Beijing in 1765–1766). This study discusses how Hallerstein’s and Gogeisl’s names came to be recorded on the two red papers used to accept Hong’s request for the visit, and further analyzes the historical context related to the red papers.

  • Introduction European Jesuits in China: the Importance of the Jesuits for the Cultural and Scientific Devel- Opment of European and Chinese Society
    DOI: 10.4312/as.2015.3.2.5-9 5 Introduction European Jesuits in China: The Importance of the Jesuits for the Cultural and Scientific Devel- opment of European and Chinese Society ∗ Nataša VAMPELJ SUHADOLNIK1 It is my great privilege and pleasure to introduce the present issue of the journal Asian Studies. This is a special issue devoted to the topic of European Jesuits in China, and it is dedicated to Professor Mitja Saje and his academic and scientific research work. Professor Saje is one of the three co-founders of the Department of Asian Studies (formerly Asian and African Studies), which was established at the University of Ljubljana in 1995. Until his retirement ( July 2015), he was a constant presence in the Department and one of its guiding spirits over the last twenty years. Possessed of an enormous respect for Chinese culture, he contrib- uted significantly not only to the academic development of the Department, but also to promoting that culture in Slovenia as a whole. Professor Saje is specialised in traditional and modern Chinese history, politics and economy. His four vol- ume study of Chinese history is the most comprehensive and important work of its kind in the Slovenian language. It is, in fact, a pioneering work in Slovenian sinology, and provides both a chronological exposition of this complex subject from the earliest times to the founding of the People’s Republic of China, as well as thorough and penetrating analyses of the many socio-political factors which influenced the development of Chinese society. In addition to this major historical work, a significant part of Professor Saje’s ac- ademic activity was also dedicated to researching the Jesuit community in Beijing and, in particular, to the forgotten “Slovenian” Jesuit missionary, Ferdinand Au- 劉松齡 gustin Hallerstein (1703–1774) (Chinese name Liu Songling ).

  • Divisible Atoms Are Not Atoms
    Acta Baltica HistoriaeDivisible et Philosophiae Atoms Are S Ncientiarumot Atoms Vol. 6, No. 1 (Spring 2018 ) DOI : 10.11590/abhps.2018.1.03 Divisible Atoms Are Not Atoms Stanislav Južnič Dunajska 83, Ljubljana 1000, Slovenia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The aim of the article is to help change the self-contradictory term ‘atom’. In this project, the support of modern Chinese scientists is expected. The contributions of Chinese to some researches in sciences are focused on finding out the preferences and most frequent stages of (European) paradigms involved in Chinese networks. Some predictions of future interests of Chinese sciences are provided. The Chinese holistic Confucian distrust in atoms is discussed as a possible new paradigm which could rename atoms as the destructible divisible entities of future physics, and with more difficulties also of chemistry. The word ‘atom’ meaning an indivisible not a compound entity is basically in contradiction with the characteristics of the item it is supposed to describe. The suffix ‘a (ἄ)’ provides a negation in Ancient Greek language. The suffix should be omitted to use tom (τομος) to manage the actual situation of a-toms (toms) as compound of elementary particles. In the late 19th century after the European Spring of Nations, two basically different concepts of atoms of chemists and physicists accomplished a kind of symbiosis. The suggestion is put forward that while indivisible atoms soon became contradictions in physics, they still retain some value in chemistry, which should be important for the panning strategy of attempt to change the name of atom. Keywords: 17th–18th centuries, China, Confucian distrust in atoms, history of chemistry, history of exact sciences, Jesuits, scientific-industrial revolutions Acta Baltica Historiae et Philosophiae Scientiarum 55 Vol.

    DOI: 10.4312/as.2015.3.2.219-223 219 刘松龄 Mitja Saje (ed.): A. Hallerstein – Liu Songling – The Multicultural Legacy of Jesuit Wisdom and Piety at the Qing Dynasty Court 2014, Maribor: Kibla. 380 pages. Jana S. ROŠKER*9 刘松龄 The book Hallerstein – Liu Songling is an important contribution to mod- ern Slovene history of international relations, especially to the history of the ear- liest cultural, ideational, and political contacts between Slovenia and China. It introduces the life and the work of the Slovenian Jesuit missionary Ferdinand Augustin Haller von Hallerstein (1703–1774), who lived and worked in China during the Qing Dynasty from 1739 until his death in 1774. Although until re- cently almost unknown in Europe and Slovenia, he was an important figure and a relevant cultural link between the two countries. He held a high position in the Chinese court, acting as the head of the Imperial Board of Astronomy and thus contributing in a remarkable way to the introduction and development of West- ern Science in the late imperial China. Dr. Mitja Saje, the editor and the chief initiator of this interesting and important monograph, was a Professor of Sinology and one of the founders of the Depart- ment of Asian Studies (former Asian and African Studies), which was established at the University of Ljubljana in 1995. Since that time and until his retirement in 2015 he worked continuously at the Department as one of its leading spirits, acting twice as its head, and contributing in an endless number of invaluable ways to its didactic and academic development.
