  • Religion in China BKGA 85 Religion Inchina and Bernhard Scheid Edited by Max Deeg Major Concepts and Minority Positions MAX DEEG, BERNHARD SCHEID (EDS.)
    Religions of foreign origin have shaped Chinese cultural history much stronger than generally assumed and continue to have impact on Chinese society in varying regional degrees. The essays collected in the present volume put a special emphasis on these “foreign” and less familiar aspects of Chinese religion. Apart from an introductory article on Daoism (the BKGA 85 BKGA Religion in China proto­typical autochthonous religion of China), the volume reflects China’s encounter with religions of the so-called Western Regions, starting from the adoption of Indian Buddhism to early settlements of religious minorities from the Near East (Islam, Christianity, and Judaism) and the early modern debates between Confucians and Christian missionaries. Contemporary Major Concepts and religious minorities, their specific social problems, and their regional diversities are discussed in the cases of Abrahamitic traditions in China. The volume therefore contributes to our understanding of most recent and Minority Positions potentially violent religio-political phenomena such as, for instance, Islamist movements in the People’s Republic of China.

  • Fireworks - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Page 1 of 17
    Fireworks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 17 Fireworks Learn more about using Wikipedia for research. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A firework is classified as a low explosive pyrotechnic device used primarily for aesthetic and entertainment purposes. The most common use of a firework is as part of a fireworks display. A fireworks event (also called a fireworks show or pyrotechnics) is a display of the effects produced by firework devices on various occasions. Fireworks competitions are also regularly held at a number of places. The biggest fireworks event in the world is held in Madeira, Portugal at the New Years' Eve celebrations, as referred in the Guinness World Records. Fireworks (devices) take many forms to produce the four primary effects: noise, light, smoke, and floating materials (confetti for example). They may be designed to burn with colored flames and sparks. Displays are common throughout the world and Fireworks over Miami, Florida, USA on are the focal point of many different cultural and religious celebrations. American Independence Day Fireworks were originally invented by the Chinese, for entertainment purposes, as a natural extension of the Chinese invention of gunpowder. In China, they were first made by firework masters who were well respected for their knowledge of the many complex techniques used to create truly dazzling firework displays. Such important events and festivities as New Year's and the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival were and still are times when fireworks are guaranteed sights. China is the largest manufacturer and exporter of fireworks in the world. China is estimated to have exported over 6 million cases or 120,000 tons of fireworks to the US in 2005.* Fireworks are generally classified as to where they perform, either as a ground or aerial firework.

  • Biophysics, Rockets, and the State
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ASU Digital Repository Biophysics, Rockets, and the State: the Making of a Scientific Discipline in Twentieth-Century China by Yi Lai Christine Luk A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved March 2014 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Ann Hibner Koblitz, Chair Hoyt Tillman Jane Maienschein ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2014 ABSTRACT This study takes biophysics––a relatively new field with complex origins and contested definitions––as the research focus and investigates the history of disciplinary formation in twentieth-century China. The story of building a scientific discipline in modern China illustrates how a science specialty evolved from an ambiguous and amorphous field into a full-fledged academic discipline in specific socio-institutional contexts. It focuses on archival sources and historical writings concerning the constitution and definition of biophysics in order to examine the relationship between particular scientific styles, national priorities, and institutional opportunities in the People's Republic of China. It argues that Chinese biophysicists exhibited a different style of conceiving and organizing their discipline by adapting to the institutional structure and political economy that had been created since 1949. The eight chapters demonstrate that biophysics as a scientific discipline flourished in China only where priorities of science were congruent with political and institutional imperatives. Initially consisting of cell biologists, the Chinese biophysics community redirected their disciplinary priorities toward rocket science in the late 1950s to accommodate the national need of the time. Biophysicists who had worked on biological sounding rockets were drawn to the military sector and continued to contribute to human spaceflight in post-Mao China.

  • The Dynamics of Horses and Tea in Ancient China
    The Dynamics of Horses and Tea in Ancient China Min Shia*, Benjawan Narasajb and Dararat Mattariganondc* aNo 82 Jianshe Village, YunHe Town, Heqing County, Dali Prefecture Yunnan Province, China bcCenter for Research on Plurality in the Mekong Region bcFaculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Khon Kaen University Khon Kaen 40002, Thailand *Corresponding Authors. Email: [email protected], [email protected] Received: June 28, 2019 Revised: November 21, 2019 Accepted: February 26, 2020 Abstract Horses and tea played significant roles in China’s cultural and national development. Horses were important resources in transportation, trade, and warfare in ancient China, while tea was a treasured drink and one of the most cherished aspects of Chinese culture. This study explores the dynamics of horses and tea in China from ancient times until the Qing dynasty. The study used the historical method to analyze data from primary sources. The findings reveal that horses played a crucial role in China since the pre-historic period. The Chinese began using horses for military and political purposes during the Shang dynasty. Horses remained important until the Qing dynasty, when they were displaced by advances in technology and the building of railways. As for tea, in Chinese culture, the use of tea reportedly existed long before the pre-historic period. From the Three Kingdoms period to the Northern and Southern dynasties, the tea culture of scholars was perceived to reflect a simple and serene lifestyle. Tea was also included in China’s tributary system. During the Tang dynasty, tea culture spread widely throughout the country, as well as to neighboring empires and tribes.

    The Polish Journal of Aesthetics Vol. 32 (1/2014) Bin You* To Be Harmonious with the Heaven, the Others and the Self: Late-Ming Christian Literati Li Jiugong’s Meditation and His Comparative Scriptural Interpretation1 Abstract From the perspective of comparative scripture, this paper is using the Shen si lu (Med- itations) by Catholic Literati Li Jiugong as a case study to investigate the dialogue and interaction between Confucianism and Christianity in the late-Ming period. Li’s theol- ogy, incorporating the three aspects of being in harmony with Heaven, other people, and oneself, is expressed in Confucian terminology. It represents the late-Ming Chi- nese theological understanding of God, human nature, and society. The paper analyses Li’s strategy of comparative scripture by which Confucian scriptural resources were reinterpreted, appropriated, and intertwined with the Christian meaning system. Fi- - tive scripture in interreligious dialogue and in furthering the indigenization of Chris- tianitynally, the in China.paper also discusses the significance of using the methodology of compara Key words comparative scripture, interreligious dialogue, Catholic literati, Li Jiugong This work was supported by the Key Institute of Ministry of Education of China (Project1 no. 2009JJD730002), and partially supported by a grant from the Research Grants Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China (Project no.
