App Sci Chinese Medicine B.Med Discipline of Chinese Medicine School of Health Sciences RMIT University August 2012 Declaration I declare that all works in this thesis carried out during my Degree of Philosophy in Science in the Discipline of Chinese Medicine, School of Health Sciences, RMIT University were of my own. No part of this thesis has been submitted to this or any other university or institutions for any other award. To the best of my knowledge, this thesis contains no part that has been published previously by others except where due references are made. Xue Dong An Date 12/01/2013 II Acknowledgements I would like to thank the people, who have supported me during the period of completing my PhD study. Dr Brian May has spent much of his valuable time on proof reading my manuscript and advising me on statistical analyses of the Chinese classical literature and modern literature. For that I am grateful. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to Ms Chang Su-yueh for her patience in cross- checking the extensive amount of tedious data obtained from classical literature. I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to editors of Enago Crimson Interactive Pvt. Ltd for their professional copy-editing of the thesis at short notice. The time spent during this undertaking has been both joyful and hard. Fortunately a few colleagues and staff in the Discipline of Chinese Medicine and other departments at RMIT have assisted me in various ways throughout the past years. Without their friendship, encouragement and support it would have been very difficult. To them I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks. This project was funded by the Australian Postgraduate Award (APA). Co-operation was also provided by the IRN-TCM International Funding from Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine. Finally, I wish to express my gratitude and appreciation to my family members and best friends for their patience and finance support and unwavering belief in me during these postgraduate years.

  • Bibliography of Chinese Linguistics William S.-Y.Wang
    BIBLIOGRAPHY OF CHINESE LINGUISTICS WILLIAM S.-Y.WANG INTRODUCTION THIS IS THE FIRST LARGE-SCALE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF CHINESE LINGUISTICS. IT IS INTENDED TO BE OF USE TO STUDENTS OF THE LANGUAGE WHO WISH EITHER TO CHECK THE REFERENCE OF A PARTICULAR ARTICLE OR TO GAIN A PERSPECTIVE INTO SOME SPECIAL TOPIC OF RESEARCH. THE FIELD OF CHINESE LINGUIS- TICS HAS BEEN UNDERGOING RAPID DEVELOPMENT IN RECENT YEARS. IT IS HOPED THAT THE PRESENT WORK WILL NURTURE THIS DEVELOP- MENT BY PROVIDING A SENSE OF THE SIZABLE SCHOLARSHIP IN THE FIELD» BOTH PAST AND PRESENT. IN SPITE OF REPEATED CHECKS AND COUNTERCHECKS, THE FOLLOWING PAGES ARE SURE TO CONTAIN NUMEROUS ERRORS OF FACT, SELECTION AND OMISSION. ALSO» DUE TO UNEVENNESS IN THE LONG PROCESS OF SELECTION, THE COVERAGE HERE IS NOT UNIFORM. THE REPRESENTATION OF CERTAIN TOPICS OR AUTHORS IS PERHAPS NOT PROPORTIONAL TO THE EXTENT OR IMPORTANCE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF CHINESE LINGUISTICS ]g9 OF THE CORRESPONDING LITERATURE. THE COVERAGE CAN BE DIS- CERNED TO BE UNBALANCED IN TWO MAJOR WAYS. FIRST. THE EMPHASIS IS MORE ON-MODERN. SYNCHRONIC STUDIES. RATHER THAN ON THE WRITINGS OF EARLIER CENTURIES. THUS MANY IMPORTANT MONOGRAPHS OF THE QING PHILOLOGISTS. FOR EXAMPLE, HAVE NOT BEEN INCLUDED HERE. THOUGH THESE ARE CERTAINLY TRACE- ABLE FROM THE MODERN ENTRIES. SECOND, THE EMPHASIS IS HEAVILY ON THE SPOKEN LANGUAGE, ALTHOUGH THERE EXISTS AN ABUNDANT LITERATURE ON THE CHINESE WRITING SYSTEM. IN VIEW OF THESE SHORTCOMINGS, I HAD RESERVATIONS ABOUT PUBLISHING THE BIBLIOGRAPHY IN ITS PRESENT STATE. HOWEVER, IN THE LIGHT OF OUR EXPERIENCE SO FAR, IT IS CLEAR THAT A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME AND EFFORT IS STILL NEEDED TO PRODUCE A COMPREHENSIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY THAT IS AT ONCE PROPERLY BALANCED AMD COMPLETELY ACCURATE (AND, PERHAPS, WITH ANNOTATIONS ON THE IMPORTANT ENTRIES).

It gives special attention to elderly people’s embodied agency in assimilating, challenging, and resisting political and social discourses about getting old. In most general terms my argument is that embodied agency is expressed by participating in daily health regimens referred to as yangsheng. With its origins in ancient Chinese medical texts and health practices, but also having incorporated many modern elements, yangsheng may be understood as a system of beliefs and practices designed for self-health cultivation. In light of major anthropological theories that provide an understanding of biopower, somatization and agency my argument is two fold. First, the state discourse on healthy aging, prompted by social, economic and demographic changes, has had a tremendous effect on how the elderly think and act with reference to their physical and mental health.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Tn^-ses F b& h'D 2 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the participation of China's established intellectuals in political campaigns during the period 1949-1976.This involves a sociological analysis of the historical background and current situation of China's established intellectuals, a systematic examination of the whole process of the continual campaigns launched by the CCP and Mao Ze­ dong to criticise intellectuals or their works, and some detailed case studies of four distinguished established intellectuals. Based on these, the thesis attempts to show that (1) China's established intellectuals do not belong to a specific class, nor do they form an independent stratum, but instead, they are members of different classes or strata; (2) which classes and strata they are members of hinges more on their social position and political experience than on their own choices; (3) under the specific system operating in China, intellectuals have to be passive if they do not obtain high posts in the state/Party organs.
