Tagore: (泰戈尔) a Case Study of His Visit to China in 1924
IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 19, Issue 3, Ver. V (Mar. 2014), PP 28-35 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Tagore: (泰戈尔) A Case study of his visit to China in 1924 Sourabh Chatterjee (Mody University of Science and Technology, India) Abstract: In 1923, Beijing Lecture Association, Jiangxueshe (讲学社) invited Rabindranath Tagore to deliver a series of lecturers. Established in September 1920, Jiangxueshe was one of the many globally acclaimed institutions that mushroomed in China in the wake of the May Fourth Movement. The main objective of this institution was to invite foreign scholars and celebrities to arrange lectures by them for Chinese intellectuals. They thought it will help the Chinese intellects to be prospers in many aspects, which will enrich their country. Every year, they used to invite the most respected global figures, research scholars, scientists, and noble laureates to deliver their valuable speeches and sermons. Before Rabindranath, the Association invited some dignified global figures like John Dewey (1859-1952), Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) and Hans Driesch (1862- 1941). Most of them were not able to move them in a great way. Anyway, as the Chinese association felt that they were not receiving expected result after inviting so many global scholars, they finally decided to invite Rabindranath to their country. It is worthy to be mentioned here, some fervent critics and scholars like Das, Sun and Hay have averred that Tagore’s visit to China created two fold reactions among the people of China. Tagore’s visit to China received both friendly and hostile reactions from them. -
The Old Master
INTRODUCTION Four main characteristics distinguish this book from other translations of Laozi. First, the base of my translation is the oldest existing edition of Laozi. It was excavated in 1973 from a tomb located in Mawangdui, the city of Changsha, Hunan Province of China, and is usually referred to as Text A of the Mawangdui Laozi because it is the older of the two texts of Laozi unearthed from it.1 Two facts prove that the text was written before 202 bce, when the first emperor of the Han dynasty began to rule over the entire China: it does not follow the naming taboo of the Han dynasty;2 its handwriting style is close to the seal script that was prevalent in the Qin dynasty (221–206 bce). Second, I have incorporated the recent archaeological discovery of Laozi-related documents, disentombed in 1993 in Jishan District’s tomb complex in the village of Guodian, near the city of Jingmen, Hubei Province of China. These documents include three bundles of bamboo slips written in the Chu script and contain passages related to the extant Laozi.3 Third, I have made extensive use of old commentaries on Laozi to provide the most comprehensive interpretations possible of each passage. Finally, I have examined myriad Chinese classic texts that are closely associated with the formation of Laozi, such as Zhuangzi, Lüshi Chunqiu (Spring and Autumn Annals of Mr. Lü), Han Feizi, and Huainanzi, to understand the intellectual and historical context of Laozi’s ideas. In addition to these characteristics, this book introduces several new interpretations of Laozi. -

The Great Qing Code Contained the Collection of Laws Written Over a Period of More Than 2,000 Years by China’S Ruling Dynas- Ties
The Great Qing Dynasty in 1820 Qing Code: LAW AND ORDER DURING CHINA’S LAST DYNASTY THE GREAT QING CODE CONTAINED THE COLLECTION OF LAWS WRITTEN OVER A PERIOD OF MORE THAN 2,000 YEARS BY CHINA’S RULING DYNAS- TIES. THE QING, CHINA’S LAST DY- NASTY, BROUGHT THE CODE TO ITS ULTIMATE FORM. China’s first laws emerged from customs, traditions, and declarations by regional rulers. The first written code of laws appeared in 536 B.C. The purpose of the code was to control the people and maintain order. In 221 B.C., the Chin Dynasty arose and established the first centralized Chi- nese empire ruled by an emperor. This accomplishment was greatly aided by a Foundation Wikimedia law code written by Chin officials called The Qing came from Manchuria, in the northeast, which contained the provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning. “Legalists.” Their idea was to eliminate special privileges for those of high status years.

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. -

Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 490 Education, Language and Inter-cultural Communication (ELIC 2020) Research on Zheng Zhenduo's Translation Thoughts From the Perspective of Eco-Translatology Fan Yang1,2,* 1Department of Foreign Languages, Fuzhou University of International Studies and Trade, Fuzhou, Fujian 350001, China 2Graduate School, University of Perpetual Help System DALTA, Las Pinas City, 1740, Philippines *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Zheng Zhenduo was a prominent translator, writer and archaeologist in the May Fourth New Literature Movement. He made great achievements in the study of translation and translation practice during the 1920s. As a cross-disciplinary theory, Eco-translatology provides a new perspective for the study of translation. The study shows that in Zheng Zhenduo's translation activities the following ideas are embodied: "harmonious unity" of translational eco-systems, "translator-centredness" of translation subjectivity, translators' action of "adaptation and selection", and translators' pursuance of "doing things with translations". Keywords: Eco-translatology, Zheng Zhenduo, translation thoughts Among the numerous translation versions of "Stray I.
