  • Uncovering the Messages Behind Four Imperial Dragon Robes from Exhibitions with Yin and Yang Message
    Journalism and Mass Communication, January 2017, Vol. 7, No. 1, 53-62 doi: 10.17265/2160-6579/2017.01.006 D DAVID PUBLISHING Uncovering the Messages Behind Four Imperial Dragon Robes from Exhibitions With Yin and Yang Message Shu Hwa Lin, C J Duarte University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu HI, USA The design themes of three Qing dynasty imperial dragon robes from the University of Hawaii at Manoa Costume Collection act as carriers of the Chinese yin-yang philosophy. The information shared by these imperial dragon robes are discussed through a cultural and technological analysis of the symbolic motifs and fabric structures of these garments to reveal the cultural and social impact of yin-yang on Qing imperial costume design. Keywords: Dragon robe, Yin and Yang, imperial/court costume Introduction Since the Qing dynasty (1644-1911), the yin-yang philosophy has been utilized in Chinese court dress (Lin, 2015). The influence of yin-yang on Chinese costume design can be observed in the surviving artifacts of the Qing dynasty (Cheng, 2008; Camman, 1952). The University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM) Costume Collection (UHMCC) houses three kosse robes (i.e., tapestry) and one embroidery dragon robes from the Qing dynasty which provide representations of the yin-yang philosophy through the motifs and color patterns of its design. These important robes were selected to exhibit during special days such as year of dragon, UHM 100 years, and UHMCC 50 year’s anniversary. There are four categories of court dress: gunfu, chaofu, jifu, changfu (Zhoa, 1989; Zhou & Gao, 1988). Three dragon robes from the UHM Costume Collection are classified as jifu, or semi-formal court robe (Vollmer, 1977a).

  • Practical Contextualism in Chinese Philosophy Yuzhou Yang a Thesis
    Practical Contextualism in Chinese Philosophy Yuzhou Yang A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities and Languages Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences November 2016 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Yang First name: Yuzhou Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: School of Humanities and Languages Faculty: Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Title: Practical Contextualism in Chinese Philosophy Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) 'Practical Contextualism' is a multifaceted concept which, I will argue, permeates various ancient Chinese texts. The central focus of practical contextualism is to be aware of, and sensitive to, the contextual environment or situation, including the relationships involved in those contexts. On an individual level, this has important implications for one’s daily engagement with others and the world. On a socio-political level, this is essential to creating and implementing well-functioning social and political institutions and policies. Practical contextualism means, among other things, that one must be prepared for possible changes that might occur in these contexts, and calls for the fostering of optimal and timely responses and solutions. In this light, the cultivation of the self is an arduous process whereby one develops epistemic cognition and skills in order to be able to detect and deal with exigent situations. This thesis studies four pre-Qin Chinese texts: the Yi Jing, the Han Fei Zi, the Zhuang Zi, and the Analects. Each of these arguably exemplifies the particular tradition or practical field it represents, and has received extensive and long-term scholarly attention.

  • The Web That Has No Weaver
    THE WEB THAT HAS NO WEAVER Understanding Chinese Medicine “The Web That Has No Weaver opens the great door of understanding to the profoundness of Chinese medicine.” —People’s Daily, Beijing, China “The Web That Has No Weaver with its manifold merits … is a successful introduction to Chinese medicine. We recommend it to our colleagues in China.” —Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Chinese Medicine, Beijing, China “Ted Kaptchuk’s book [has] something for practically everyone . Kaptchuk, himself an extraordinary combination of elements, is a thinker whose writing is more accessible than that of Joseph Needham or Manfred Porkert with no less scholarship. There is more here to think about, chew over, ponder or reflect upon than you are liable to find elsewhere. This may sound like a rave review: it is.” —Journal of Traditional Acupuncture “The Web That Has No Weaver is an encyclopedia of how to tell from the Eastern perspective ‘what is wrong.’” —Larry Dossey, author of Space, Time, and Medicine “Valuable as a compendium of traditional Chinese medical doctrine.” —Joseph Needham, author of Science and Civilization in China “The only approximation for authenticity is The Barefoot Doctor’s Manual, and this will take readers much further.” —The Kirkus Reviews “Kaptchuk has become a lyricist for the art of healing. And the more he tells us about traditional Chinese medicine, the more clearly we see the link between philosophy, art, and the physician’s craft.” —Houston Chronicle “Ted Kaptchuk’s book was inspirational in the development of my acupuncture practice and gave me a deep understanding of traditional Chinese medicine.

New York: Palgrave Macmillan. 2012. China has made impressive economic achievements over the course of its last thirty years of reform. As the country becomes the world’s second largest economy and actively seeks a peaceful rise as a global power, the discussion of the so-called “China model” (zhongguo moshi) or China developmental model (zhongguo fazhan moshi) attracts scholars from both within and outside China.

  • PDF (LIU with Title Page Contents and Abstract Added)
    Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Background 1.1.1 The Experience Economy Economists have typically lumped experiences in with services, but experiences are a distinct economic offering, as different from services as services are from goods. Today we can identify and describe this fourth economic offering because consumers unquestionably desire experiences, and more and more businesses are responding by explicitly designing and promoting them. (Pine and Gilmore, 1998, p97) During the past decade, followed by Pine and Gilmore’s (1998; 1999) ground-breaking article and book on the ‘experience economy’, consumer experiences have gained increasing attention. The concept of an ‘experience economy’ comes about in an era where technological advancement has led to higher productivity and richer commodity supply. As such, competition among businesses is becoming increasingly intensified. The Internet has been used ever more intensively allowing for instant price comparison. As a result, goods and services tend to be exchanged on price and availability alone (Schmitt, 2003). Pine and Gilmore (1998; 1999) notes the progress into the fourth economic stage; that is ‘the experience economy’ especially in affluent developed economies where there is clearly an increasing demand for personalised experiences. In an ‘experience economy’, products and services alone can no longer serve as the differentiating factors that provide businesses with competitive advantage (Pine and Gilmore, 1998; 1999). In such an economic stage, the creation of memorable consumer experiences involving using goods as the ‘props’ and services as the ‘stages’ adds economic values centred on the staging of memorable experiences that engage consumers in a personal way (Pine and Gilmore, 1999).

  • China and Sars: the Crisis and Its Effects on Politics and the Economy
    THE ATLANTIC COUNCIL OF THE UNITED STATES THE BROOKINGS INSTITUTION THE CARNEGIE ENDOWMENT FOR INTERNATIONAL PEACE THE US-CHINA BUSINESS COUNCIL CHINA AND SARS: THE CRISIS AND ITS EFFECTS ON POLITICS AND THE ECONOMY MODERATOR: RICHARD BUSH, BROOKINGS INSTITUTION PARTICIPANTS: LAURIE GARRETT, NEWSDAY; ROBERT A. KAPP, US-CHINA BUSINESS COUNCIL; MICHAEL SWAINE, CARNEGIE ENDOWMENT; AND MINXIN PEI, CARNEGIE ENDOWMENT LOCATION: THE BROOKINGS INSTITUTION, WASHINGTON, D.C. DATE: WEDNESDAY, JULY 2, 2003 Transcript by: Federal News Service Washington, D.C. RICHARD BUSH: If I could have your attention, please, I think that because we have four speakers and a very interesting topic, we should go ahead and get started. We won't pick up the entree plates until after the event's over, so just go ahead and manage your dessert however you can. (Laughter.) Again, it's my great pleasure to welcome you here to Brookings today for a program on SARS and China. I think that SARS sort of gave us a really useful window on the Chinese system and how it works. And we have four excellent people to speak to us today. While I have the floor, I'm going to take advantage and make a brief commercial. And that is to note that Brookings has just released Bob Suettinger's book on U.S.-China relations from Tiananmen to the year 2000, called: "Beyond Tiananmen." It's available in our book store. It's not exactly a beach book -- (laughter) -- unless you're looking for a pillow, but it will be the sort of point of reference for a basic understanding, any understanding of this very important period in U.S.-China relations.

  • End-Of-Life Care in Taiwan from the Perspectives of Asian Bioethics
    Asia Pacific Journal of Health Law & Ethics Vol.10 No.2, March 2017, pp.69-80 End-of-Life Care in Taiwan from the Perspectives of Asian Bioethics Michael Cheng-tek Tai* Abstract 69 The aging population is a new reality in the world. Asian countries are facing the question of how to take care of their senile citizens who, when younger, have contributed much to society yet are now needing more medical attention and therefore are consuming a big portion of the health care budget. How to extend care to this growing number of citizens is a new social issue. This paper will first give a brief discussion of a new legislation adopted in Taiwan on December 18, 2015, named the Patient Self-determination Act, which allows patients suffering from incurable diseases or those in their last phase of life to say no to life sustaining treatments. Medicine, however, is supposed to save life, which raises a question: would this new legislation violate the principle of medical ethics? This paper will then discuss this act from the perspective of Asian bioethics. Humanization and harmonization are the two main emphases of Asian bioethics. Keywords: Asian Bioethics, Patient Self-determination Act of Taiwan, Humanization, Harmonization, Elderly care. I. Introduction The aging population is a new reality in the world. Asian countries are facing the question of how to take care of their senile citizens who, when younger, have contributed much to society yet are now needing more medical attention and therefore are consuming a big portion of the health care budget.

Summary Summary of the Novel The novel contains four sections, each beginning with a vignette depicting a stage in the life cycle. The four stories in each section explore the relationship between the mothers and the daughters at the same stage. One series of stories focuses on Suyuan Woo, who comes to America in 1947, having lost her family, including twin daughters, during war. She does not know her daughters were rescued. Now remarried, she settles in San Francisco, has a daughter, Jing-mei (June), and starts a Joy Luck Club similar to one in China with three other women. The four form strong friendships. As she grows up, Jing-mei and her mother struggle to understand one another. They never completely resolve their differences, and Suyuan dies unexpectedly. At the next meeting of the Joy Luck Club, her mother’s friends tell Jing-mei that Suyuan’s twin daughters have been found. They give her a check so she can visit them. As the novel ends, she meets her sisters in Shanghai. A second set of stories focuses on An-mei, who lives with her grandmother because her mother has been disowned. When An-mei is nine, her grandmother dies; and An-mei leaves with her mother to live in the home of a wealthy man and his other wives.
