Remaking Chineseness: The Transition Of Inner Asian Groups In The Central Plain During The Sixteen Kingdoms Period And Northern Dynasties Abstract This dissertation aims to examine the institutional transitions of the Inner Asian groups in the Central Plain during the Sixteen Kingdoms period and Northern Dynasties. Starting with an examination on the origin and development of Sinicization theory in the West and China, the first major chapter of this dissertation argues the Sinicization theory evolves in the intellectual history of modern times. This chapter, in one hand, offers a different explanation on the origin of the Sinicization theory in both China and the West, and their relationships. In the other hand, it incorporates Sinicization theory into the construction of the historical narrative of Chinese Nationality, and argues the theorization of Sinicization attempted by several scholars in the second half of 20th Century. The second and third major chapters build two case studies regarding the transition of the central and local institutions of the Inner Asian polities in the Central Plain, which are the succession system and the local administrative system.

  • Chinese-Western Narrative Poetics: State of The
    and/or return of the author, or even his/her eternity in the Shakespearean sense.3 How do we think of the author who has “fathered” a piece of work through his choices, design, values and intentions? How do we understand the affective force of a narrative? To what extentcan an author, or even the intrusive critic for that matter, make use of his Chinese-Western Narrative Poetics: “license” for generic or stylistic experimentation? Can there be permutations that defy, or deviate from, structuralist narrative categorization? How does an author’s “literary State of the Art genius” determine the “literary and aesthetic attainment” of a work? Could there be a message beyond what is implied in narrative structuralization? The list could go on. Traditional Chinese narrative poetics, however, has explored in its own right issues of authority, literary mind, narrative craftsmanship, moral and philosophical HUAIYU LUO underpinnings, superstructure and macrostructure, psychological sophistication, unity in miscellaneity, real in unreal, et cetera. In prominent contradistinction to Western structural narrative theory, traditional Chinese narrative poetics is salient in the following Chinese narrative poetics2 has attracted considerable scholarly enquiry over the three aspects. First, instead of being “apt to beat over matters”,4 it places particular past several decades. In the world of literary theory and criticism, this surge in interest importance on literary intuition, pleasure from punctilious (sometimes repetitive) critical might be explained by two major factors. First, the quantity and quality of Chinese reading, and fluidity of the aesthetic–appreciative process. It is interesting to note that narrative literature, both pre-modern and contemporary, have been remarkable enough such features are also common to many other forms of Chinese art.

  • Mating-Induced Male Death and Pheromone Toxin-Regulated Androstasis

Shi, Runnels & Murphy – preprint version –www.biorxiv.org Mating-induced Male Death and Pheromone Toxin-regulated Androstasis Cheng Shi, Alexi M. Runnels, and Coleen T. Murphy* Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics and Dept. of Molecular Biology, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544, USA *Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract How mating affects male lifespan is poorly understood. Using single worm lifespan assays, we discovered that males live significantly shorter after mating in both androdioecious (male and hermaphroditic) and gonochoristic (male and female) Caenorhabditis. Germline-dependent shrinking, glycogen loss, and ectopic expression of vitellogenins contribute to male post-mating lifespan reduction, which is conserved between the sexes. In addition to mating-induced lifespan decrease, worms are subject to killing by male pheromone-dependent toxicity. C. elegans males are the most sensitive, whereas C. remanei are immune, suggesting that males in androdioecious and gonochoristic species utilize male pheromone differently as a toxin or a chemical messenger. Our study reveals two mechanisms involved in male lifespan regulation: germline-dependent shrinking and death is the result of an unavoidable cost of reproduction and is evolutionarily conserved, whereas male pheromone-mediated killing provides a novel mechanism to cull the male population and ensure a return to the self-reproduction mode in androdioecious species. Our work highlights the importance of understanding the shared vs. sex- and species- specific mechanisms that regulate lifespan.

  • Biographies of Eminent Monks Volume II (DRAFT!!!! – DO NOT CITE!!) Imre Galambos
    Biographies of Eminent Monks Volume II (DRAFT!!!! – DO NOT CITE!!) Imre Galambos 1. Kumārajīva Kumārajīva (Jiumoluoshi 鳩摩羅什) means Age of a Child (tongshou 童壽). He was a native of India, and his family for generations served as chief ministers. Kumārajīva’s grandfather Daduo 達多 (Datta?) was an extraordinary person whose name was well known in their country. His father Jiumoyan 鳩摩炎 (Kumārayāna?) was intelligent and had exceptional integrity, and was about to inherit the post of chief minister but instead declined it and became a monk. He went east, crossing the Pamirs.1 Having heard of his abandoning worldly glory, the king of Kucha (Qiuci 龜茲) held him in high esteem. He came in person to the edge of the city to welcome him and to request him to become a state preceptor. The king had a younger sister who had just turned nineteen. Knowledgeable and bright, she could learn anything she read through once, and she could recite by heart anything just by hearing it. She had on her body a red birthmark which foretold that she would give birth to a sage son. Rulers of different countries had requested to marry her but she would not consent to this. But when she saw Kumārayāna, she wished to marry him, and thus [the king] compelled him to marry her. Soon she conceived Kumārajīva. When he was still in his mother’s womb, she sensed that her intuition and capacity for supernatural understanding was twice as strong as what it was normally. She had often heard of the virtue of the great monatery of Queli 雀梨, and that it had monks who had attained the Way.

  • 1000CP and Create a Tale That Will Stand the Test of Time
    By Tyr Alexander Version 1.5 Welcome to feudal China. For four hundred years, the Han dynasty has ruled the land. Underneath the Han, China knew an age of peace and prosperity. However, like all things, it must one day end. The court eunuchs have usurped imperial authority, not only deceiving the emperor but promoting corrupt officials and persecuting virtuous ones. The people suffered greatly underneath the eunuch's corruption. But it was Zhang Jiao, a Taoist monk, who hammered in the first nail into the Han's coffin when he formed the Yellow Turban Army. With many dissatisfied peasants flocking to his banner, Zhang Jiao led the Yellow Turbans in revolt against the Han Emperor. Heroes and villains alike took up arms to either quell the chaos or prosper from it. No greater heroes arose during this time than Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan. The leaders of Shu-Han, Cao Wei, and Sun Wu respectively. These three men's destinies were intertwined together. Clashing, unifying and more often conspiring against each other, it was their actions that defined the Three Kingdoms period. While neither of these men nor the legacies they left behind would unite the land, their stories are being retold to this day. You now enter China, for good or ill. Will you join the chaos and prosper as the world around you burns? Will you stand up for righteousness and suppress the chaos, restoring the Han Dynasty to its former glory? Will you usurp the land for your own glory and force all the feudal lords to kowtow to your might? Or will you be a roaming vagabond merely going to and fro without a care in the world? Take this 1000CP And create a tale that will stand the test of time.

  • From Barbarians to the Middle Kingdom: the Rise of the Title “Emperor, Heavenly Qaghan” and Its Significance
    From Barbarians to the Middle Kingdom: The Rise of the Title “Emperor, Heavenly Qaghan” and Its Significance Han-je Park* INTRODUCTION The entrance of the Five Barbarians wuhu( 五胡) people into the Central Plain of China is a historical event of great significance in the East, comparable in importance to the migration of Germanic tribes into the Roman Empire. The Five Barbarians became the main actors in the establishment of an array of dynasties throughout the periods of the Sixteen Kingdoms of Five Hu, the Northern Dynasties, and eventually the cosmopolitan empires of the Sui (隋) and the Tang (唐). With the passing of time, they lost their original culture and customs, and many came to lose their ethnonym. This phenomenon is described as their sinicization (hanhua 漢化), although there is also a contrary view that the Han (漢) people in China were barbaricized (huhua 胡化) and thus widened the range of Chinese culture. But, we may ask, do the terms “sinicization” and “barbaricization” adequately convey what really happened? Aside from arguments regarding sinicization or barbaricization, what role did the Five Barbarians actually play in the history of China? Were they indeed a people without a culture, who could therefore not bring anything novel to China itself,1 or were they a civilization with a sophisticated culture of their own? *Seoul National University (Seoul, Korea) Journal of Central Eurasian Studies, Volume 3 (October 2012): 23–68 © 2012 Center for Central Eurasian Studies 24 Han-je Park The Han and Tang empires are often joined together and referred to as the “empires of the Han and the Tang,” implying that these two dynasties have a great deal in common.

    Talons and Fangs of the Eastern Han Warlords Yimin Lu A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Yimin Lu (2009) ii Talons and Fangs of the Eastern Han Warlords Yimin Lu, Ph. D Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto, 2009 Abstract Warriors are a less visible topic in the study of imperial China. They did not write history, but they made new history by destroying the old. The fall of the first enduring Chinese empire, the Han, collides with the rise of its last warriors known as the “talons and fangs.” Despite some classical or deceptive myths like the Chinese ideal of bloodless victories and a culture without soldiers, the talons and fangs of the Eastern Han warlords demonstrated the full potential of military prestige in a Confucian hierarchy, the bloodcurdling reality of dynastic rivalry, as well as a romantic tradition infatuated with individual heroism. iii Table of Content： Introduction (1-22) Chapter One (23-68) The Age of Warlords 1.
