As a result of the global movement toward greater recognition of gender equality and human dignity, the study of women as portrayed in Chinese literature has a long and rich history.

  • Xue Susu (1573-Ca.1650) Was a Courtesan Who Lived in the Final Years of the Ming Dynasty
    ESTEEMED LINK: AN ARGUMENT FOR XUE SUSU AS LITERATI A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI’I IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN ART HISTORY MAY 2011 By Cordes McMahan Hoffman Thesis Committee: Kate Lingley, Chairperson John Szostak Paul Lavy Xue Susu (1573-ca.1650) was a courtesan who lived in the final years of the Ming dynasty (1368-1644). She was a multi-faceted artist, known for her painting, poetry and heroic personal- ity. An active participant in literati culture for most of her life, Xue’s body of work contains sev- eral outstanding paintings which demonstrate her grasp of the artistic concerns of literati painting practice at that time. Modern scholarship of Chinese women artists is a growing field, and it is now unthinkable to exclude women in the broad category of Chinese painting. However, examinations of individual artists, have been limited. For example, Xue Susu has been the subject of articles by Tseng Yu- ho (Betty Ecke); she was featured in an encyclopedic exhibition of Chinese women painters titled Views from Jade Terrace: Chinese Women Artists 1300-1912, and she is listed in several survey texts of Chinese art history.1 These considerations of Xue Susu demonstrate that modern scholarship acknowledges her as a talented painter. However, Xue is usually only considered in aggregate with other women painters with the grouping, gender being the primary identifier for artistic identity. The problem at hand then becomes that the majority of Xue Susu’s surviving work is dissimilar in stylistic choice to the general group of female painters of her era.

  • Women Writers from Ming Through Qing. Edited by Grace S
    《中國文化研究所學報》 Journal of Chinese Studies No. 53 - July 2011 Book Reviews 337 The Inner Quarters and Beyond: Women Writers from Ming through Qing. Edited by Grace S. Fong and Ellen Widmer. Leiden, Boston: Brill, 2010. Pp. xiv + 431. €130.00/$185.00. This volume marks a new stage in the study of Chinese women’s history and Chinese women’s writing. Ably edited by Grace Fong (who is also the editor of the series, “Women and Gender in China Studies,” in which the book appears) and veteran editor Ellen Widmer, it brings together essays by leading scholars of Chinese women’s writing. The subjects of the essays are not virgin topics for their authors, as almost all have published extensively on closely related themes and bodies of texts. But rather than rehashing existing work (only Fong’s essay has appeared elsewhere), the authors distil from their depth of knowledge of sources and context what are often gems of insight. The most significant contribution of the volume lies in the light these essays shed on Ming and Qing women’s consciousness. This is not a collection focused on male constructions of the feminine or representations of women, dotted with speculation on women’s subjectivity. Through the sources the chapters bring to light, the authors’ sophisticated interpretations of these often highly convention-bound sources, and—one of the outstanding features of the volume—the inclusion in the body of the essays of long passages from the sources in Chinese with English translations, The Inner Quarters and Beyond greatly enhances our understanding of women’s lives, feelings, and both personal and political preoccupations.

Scholars have rediscovered the many roles that courtesans played and recognized their significance in the creation of a unique cultural atmosphere in the late Ming literati world.1 However, there has been a tendency to situate the flourishing of late Ming courtesan culture within the mainstream Confucian tradition, assuming that “the late Ming courtesan” continued to be “integral to the operation of the civil-service examination, the process that re- produced the empire’s political and cultural elites,” as was the case in earlier dynasties, such as the Tang.2 This assumption has suggested a division between the world of the Chinese courtesan whose primary clientele continued to be constituted by scholar-officials until the eight- eenth century and that of her Japanese counterpart whose rise in the mid- seventeenth century was due to the decline of elitist samurai- 1) For important studies on late Ming high courtesan culture, see Kang-i Sun Chang, The Late Ming Poet Ch’en Tzu-lung: Crises of Love and Loyalism (New Haven: Yale Univ.

  • Gender and the Poetry of Chen Yinke
    Nostalgia and Resistance: Gender and the Poetry of Chen Yinke Wai-yee Li 李惠儀 Harvard University On June 2, 1927, the great scholar and poet Wang Guowei 王國維 (1877- 1927) drowned himself at Lake Kunming in the Imperial Summer Palace in Beijing. There was widespread perception at the time that Wang had committed suicide as a martyr for the fallen Qing dynasty, whose young deposed emperor had been Wang’s student. However, Chen Yinke 陳寅恪 (1890-1969), Wang’s friend and colleague at the Qinghua Research Institute of National Learning, offered a different interpretation in the preface to his “Elegy on Wang Guowei” 王觀堂先生輓詞并序: For today’s China is facing calamities and crises without precedents in its several thousand years of history. With these calamities and crises reaching ever more dire extremes, how can those whose very being represents a condensation and realization of the spirit of Chinese culture fail to identify with its fate and perish along with it? This was why Wang Guowei could not but die.1 Two years later, Chen elaborated upon the meaning of Wang’s death in a memorial stele: He died to make manifest his will to independence and freedom. This was neither about personal indebtedness and grudges, nor about the rise or fall of one ruling house… His writings may sink into oblivion; his teachings may yet be debated. But this spirit of independence and freedom of thought…will last for eternity with heaven and earth.2 Between these assertions from 1927 and 1929 is a rhetorical elision of potentially different positions.

One was the decision to wait in order to have four Hsiang Lectures in this volume rather than the customary three. The delay and small increase in the number of lectures bring new horizons in research on Chinese poetry to our readers. Indeed, in terms of the time frame covered, this volume focuses mostly, but not exclusively, on the twentieth century. Three of the four lectures are fascinating studies of the manifold significations of classical verse and their continued vitality in the discursive space of Chinese politics and culture in a century of modernization.

In The Eye Of The Selector: Ancient-Style Prose Anthologies In Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) China Abstract The rapid growth of woodblock printing in sixteenth-century China not only transformed wenzhang (“literature”) as a category of knowledge, it also transformed the communities in which knowledge of wenzhang circulated. Twentieth-century scholarship described this event as an expansion of the non-elite reading public coinciding with the ascent of vernacular fiction and performance literature over stagnant classical forms. Because this narrative was designed to serve as a native genealogy for the New Literature Movement, it overlooked the crucial role of guwen (“ancient-style prose,” a term which denoted the everyday style of classical prose used in both preparing for the civil service examinations as well as the social exchange of letters, gravestone inscriptions, and other occasional prose forms among the literati) in early modern literary culture. This dissertation revises that narrative by showing how a diverse range of social actors used anthologies of ancient-style prose to build new forms of literary knowledge and shape new literary publics.

  • Women and Men, Love and Power: Parameters of Chinese Fiction and Drama
    SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS Number 193 November, 2009 Women and Men, Love and Power: Parameters of Chinese Fiction and Drama edited and with a foreword by Victor H. Mair Victor H. Mair, Editor Sino-Platonic Papers Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6305 USA [email protected] www.sino-platonic.org SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series edited by Victor H. Mair. The purpose of the series is to make available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished. The editor actively encourages younger, not yet well established, scholars and independent authors to submit manuscripts for consideration. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including Romanized Modern Standard Mandarin (MSM) and Japanese, are acceptable. In special circumstances, papers written in one of the Sinitic topolects (fangyan) may be considered for publication. Although the chief focus of Sino-Platonic Papers is on the intercultural relations of China with other peoples, challenging and creative studies on a wide variety of philological subjects will be entertained. This series is not the place for safe, sober, and stodgy presentations. Sino-Platonic Papers prefers lively work that, while taking reasonable risks to advance the field, capitalizes on brilliant new insights into the development of civilization. The only style-sheet we honor is that of consistency. Where possible, we prefer the usages of the Journal of Asian Studies. Sinographs (hanzi, also called tetragraphs [fangkuaizi]) and other unusual symbols should be kept to an absolute minimum.
