  • A Review of the Origin and Evolution of Uygur Musical Instruments
    2019 International Conference on Humanities, Cultures, Arts and Design (ICHCAD 2019) A Review of the Origin and Evolution of Uygur Musical Instruments Xiaoling Wang, Xiaoling Wu Changji University Changji, Xinjiang, China Keywords: Uygur Musical Instruments, Origin, Evolution, Research Status Abstract: There Are Three Opinions about the Origin of Uygur Musical Instruments, and Four Opinions Should Be Exact. Due to Transliteration, the Same Musical Instrument Has Multiple Names, Which Makes It More Difficult to Study. So Far, the Origin of Some Musical Instruments is Difficult to Form a Conclusion, Which Needs to Be Further Explored by People with Lofty Ideals. 1. Introduction Uyghur Musical Instruments Have Various Origins and Clear Evolution Stages, But the Process is More Complex. I Think There Are Four Sources of Uygur Musical Instruments. One is the National Instrument, Two Are the Central Plains Instruments, Three Are Western Instruments, Four Are Indigenous Instruments. There Are Three Changes in the Development of Uygur Musical Instruments. Before the 10th Century, the Main Musical Instruments Were Reed Flute, Flute, Flute, Suona, Bronze Horn, Shell, Pottery Flute, Harp, Phoenix Head Harp, Kojixiang Pipa, Wuxian, Ruan Xian, Ruan Pipa, Cymbals, Bangling Bells, Pan, Hand Drum, Iron Drum, Waist Drum, Jiegu, Jilou Drum. At the Beginning of the 10th Century, on the Basis of the Original Instruments, Sattar, Tanbu, Rehwap, Aisi, Etc New Instruments Such as Thar, Zheng and Kalong. after the Middle of the 20th Century, There Were More Than 20 Kinds of Commonly Used Musical Instruments, Including Sattar, Trable, Jewap, Asitar, Kalong, Czech Republic, Utar, Nyi, Sunai, Kanai, Sapai, Balaman, Dapu, Narre, Sabai and Kashtahi (Dui Shi, or Chahchak), Which Can Be Divided into Four Categories: Choral, Membranous, Qiming and Ti Ming.

Highly important regional map of the Persian Empire, published by Adam Olearius in 1656, in his Vermehrte newe Beschreibung der muscowitischen und persischen Reyse ... Olearus' map represents a milestone in the cartographic history of the mapping of Persia and most notably its treatment of the region around the Caspian Sea. Olearu's map is the first to begin to show the sea as elongated more dramatically north and south. The map is drawn from his travels in the region and from Islamic sources to which Olrearus had access during his travels. Adam Olearus was the Secretary on an official expedition from Holstein to Persia and Russia from 1635 to 1639, aimed at negotiating a new direct trade route for Persian silk. He spent time in Persia during the reign of the Safavid Shah Ṣafi (r. 1629-1642). His report and map are considered signifiant to the cartographic depition of Persia. He also provided the first unmediated translation of Saʿdi's Golestān into German. After traveling to Russia and obtaining the initial consent of the Czar, the embassy set out for Persia in 1635. Taking the route through Moscow and following the Volga to Astrakhan, they entered Persia after crossing the Caspian Sea at Šamāḵ-i.

Whether human, deities, or some other type of species, the shape-shifter can be categorized as an ambiguous and fluid figure who breaks down many typical societal borderlines including those relating to gender, biology, animal/ human, and sexual orientation. As a whole, this research project seeks to better understand the background, nature, and identity of these figures, in part by approaching the subject psychoanalytically, more specifically within the framework established by the Swiss psychoanalyst, Carl Jung, as part of his theory of archetypes.

  • Plucked Stringed Instruments
    Plucked Stringed Instruments Fig. 2.1: The Pipa 18 Pipa 2 琵琶 Pipa HISTORY The grand dame of plucked stringed instruments, the pipa is one of the most expressive instruments in the Chinese orchestra (Fig. 2.1). Recent moves by some major Chinese orchestras include removing the instrument entirely from the orchestral formation due to its overpowering character and inability to blend. Its techniques, however, are applied to almost every plucked stringed instrument and its concepts have been borrowed for the reformations of various plucked stringed instruments. The term pipa used today refers to the lute-shaped instrument which comprises of four strings and a fretted soundboard of 20 to 25 frets. In the ancient Chinese dynasties of Sui and Han, the term pipa was generic for any instrument that was plucked or had a plucked string aspect to it. The word pipa is made up of two Chinese characters – 琵 pi and 琶 pa1. The words describe how the instrument is played and the sounds it produced. The forward plucking of the string using one’s right hand was termed pi, and the backward plucking of the string with the right hand was termed pa. The first recorded connotation to the word pipa was found in 刘熙 Liu Xi’s <<释名>> Shi Ming, where it was recorded as piba2. Although greatly associated with the Chinese, the pipa is not native to China; the instrument was introduced to China by Asia Minor over 2000 years ago. As the instrument is foreign, its counterparts in the forms of lutes and mandolins can still be found in Central and Western Asia.

THE POSITION OF THE WOMAN IN DANCE DURING THE BYZANTINE ERA Konstantinos Dimopoulos Postdoctoral Researcher, School of Physical Education and Sport Science, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.37500/IJESSR.2021.4405 ABSTRACT Dance is an activity, which, ever since the Antiquity, has never ceased to be performed in the Hellenic space. This fact gives a broad margin for the study of dance through many different approaches. From all the periods, the darkest but also the most controversial one is the Byzantine period. In this period, in a male-dominated Byzantine society, “women have been placed by law on the margin of public life” and “have been intentionally set away from the circles of the church. Only a few empresses and noblewomen made their presence felt”. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the position and the role of the woman in dance and dance occasions during the Byzantine period. In particular, it will examine whether women danced, what they danced to and the way they did it during the Byzantine period, and how this was seen and addressed by the society and the Official Church. Data collection was based on secondary sources and, in particular, on the principles of the bibliographic and historical archival research. In conlusion, women in Byzantium skillfully “danced” around the antithetical relationship “a saint or a prostitute”, and this balance is achieved through their dance.

  • Tracking the Travels of Adam Olearius
    Tracking the Travels of Adam Olearius Nancy S. Kollmann (Stanford University) am a big fan of Gary Marker’s first book—a study of printing and I publishing in Russia’s eighteenth century. There he showed how Russia’s reading public took shape and how its interests changed, moving steadily towards belles-lettres and secular philosophy with a good dose of lowbrow adventure tales and garishly illustrated romances. So Gary understands the early modern publishing world, with its penchant for illustration and its dynamism, which is what this paper is about. It stems from an encounter I had in Houghton Library with a curious version of Adam Olearius’ Travels to Russia and Persia. Students of early modern Russian history are unavoidably fast friends with Adam Olearius (1599-1671). His account is fascinating and is one of the few to provide contemporary illustrations, problematic as they may be. Olearius served Duke Frederick III of Schleswig-Holstein, who was endeavoring to win a monopoly for Holstein on trade to Persia, for which he needed Russian permission for transit travel. Frederick sent two embassies—to Moscow in 1633-35 and through Russia to Persia in 1635-39—and Olearius served on both. He returned briefly to Russia in 1643. In 1647 Olearius published an account of his voyages, as he 134 Tracking the Travels of Adam Olearius said, upon the urging of friends (a common trope in introducing such books). The 1647 edition appeared at the Schleswig press—a handsome volume in 536 folio pages with about 70 copper engravings approxi- mately evenly divided between the Russian and Persian parts of the account (plus nine dedicatory portrait engravings).

The focus is on western Europe between the fall of the Roman Empire and the emergence of markedly Renaissance forms in Italy. Early sections of the volume are devoted to the survival of classical tradition and the development of the liturgical drama of the Roman Catholic Church, but the main concentration is on the genesis and growth of popular religious drama in the vernacular which had its artistic cul- mination in the ambitious mountings of Bible plays presented in a wide variety of contexts in the later Middle Ages. Each of the major medieval regions is featured, while a final section covers the pastimes and customs of the people, a record of whose traditional activities often only survives in the margins of official recogni- tion. The volume has been compiled by a team of leading scholars in the field and over 700 documents are presented in modern English translation. The book contains numerous illustrations, the source location for each docu- ment and a substantial bibliography.It will be of interest to scholars and students of theatrehistory,medievalstudies,Europeanlanguageandculture,andsociology. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-10084-7 - The Medieval European Stage, 500-1550 Edited by William Tydeman Frontmatter More information Theatre in Europe: a documentary history General Editors Glynne Wickham John Northam W.

This database consists of 16 expert and novice evaluation terms, including five pairs with opposite polarity.
