Remaking History: the Shu and Wu Perspectives in the Three Kingdoms Period
Remaking History: The Shu and Wu Perspectives in the Three Kingdoms Period XIAOFEI TIAN HARVARD UNIVERSITY Of the three powers—Wei, Shu, and Wu—that divided China for the better part of the third century, Wei has received the most attention in the standard literary historical accounts. In a typical book of Chinese literary history in any language, little, if anything, is said about Wu and Shu. This article argues that the consider- ation of the literary production of Shu and Wu is crucial to a fuller picture of the cultural dynamics of the Three Kingdoms period. The three states competed with one another for the claim to political legitimacy and cultural supremacy, and Wu in particular was in a position to contend with Wei in its cultural undertakings, notably in the areas of history writing and ritual music. This article begins with an overview of Shu and Wu literary production, and moves on to a more detailed discussion of Wu’s cultural projects, both of which were intended to assert Wu’s legitimacy and cultural power vis-à-vis Wei and Shu’s claims to cultural and polit- ical orthodoxy. Ultimately, this article implicitly asks the question of how to write literary history when there is scant material from the period under question, and suggests that we perform textual excavations and make use of what we have to try and reconstruct, as best as we can, what once was. A good literary history of the Chinese medieval period, the age of manuscript culture and that of heavy textual losses and transfigurations, should be written with the awareness of the incomplete and imperfect nature of the data we do have, and incorporate the phenomenon of textual losses and transfigurations as well as some reflections on the underlying reasons into its narrative and critical inquiry. -

Rotten Pedant! the Literary and Historical Afterlife of Qiao Zhou
afterlife of qiao zhou j. michael farmer Rotten Pedant! The Literary and Historical Afterlife of Qiao Zhou n what is surely one of the classic understatements in the history of I .sinology, Winston Yang declared, In China, far more people have read [Luo Guanzhong’s 羅貫中] Elaboration [Sanguo [zhi] yanyi 三國志演義 (Extended Meanings of the Records of the Three States)]1 than Chen Shou’s 陳壽 (233–297) Chron- icle [Sanguo zhi 三國志 (Records of the Three States)], and far more Chinese have gained some knowledge of the history of the Three Kingdoms period from the novel than from the official history.2 Now, Yang’s claim may be said to have gone global, with numerous illustrated books, comics, television series, movies, and video games based on Extended Meanings translated into Asian and Western languages and hotly discussed on worldwide internet forums. The widespread acceptance of Extended Meanings as “history” is problematic but not surprising; the text has long been regarded as a sort of popular history. Jiang Daqi’s 江大器 preface to the earliest extant edition (dated 1494) claimed that the intent of the work was to correct the “contemptible and erroneous language” and “wild fiction” of blind storytellers who narrated Three States 三國 (220–280) history,3 and to 1 The attribution of the text to Luo (ca. 1315/18–ca. 1400) is much later than the earliest edi- tion, and the issue of authorship remains hotly debated. Given the serious doubts about Luo’s purported authorship, it becomes difficult to contextualize authorial motive and otherwise place the composition of the work into a historical setting. -
The Region Occupied by Present-Day Sichuan Province in Southwest China
CHAPTER 1 The Intellectual World of Early Sichuan he region occupied by present-day Sichuan Province in southwest China Thas long been viewed with a certain degree of ambivalence by traditional Chinese historians, with most writing from the perspective of the north. Ban Gu’s 班固 (32–92 ce) “Geographic Treatise” in his Han shu 漢書 [Han History] presents the earliest synoptic view of the region. Drawing descriptions from the canon, he writes: Previously, the Yellow Thearch (Huangdi 黃帝) made boats and carriages, but because of the rushing waters [people] could not pass. So he set out in all directions throughout the subcelestial realm, organizing the myriad dis- tricts, drawing boundaries and separating provinces, resulting in one-hundred li states and myriad districts. This is what the Changes refers to as “The For- mer King established the myriad states and gave them to his kinsmen to be their various sovereigns.”1 The Documents says, “He harmonized the myriad states.”2 This refers to [the Yellow Thearch’s actions]. Yao 堯 encountered a great flood which encircled mountains and drove against the cliffs. The subcelestial realm was cut off and divided into twelve provinces. [Yao] sent Yu 禹 to control [the flood]. The waters and the earth were leveled and he organized nine provinces and arranged five domains, piled earth and made a sacrifice. Thus it is said, “Yu disposed the lands. Going along the mountains, he cut down the trees. He determined the high mountains and great rivers.”3 Here, Ban Gu offers a Genesis-like account of the origins of Chinese admin- istrative geography, crediting the legendary sage-kings of high antiquity with the division of the subcelestial realm (tianxia 天下; literally, “all under heaven”) into districts, domains, and provinces. -
China : Delegates Selected to the 19Th Party Congress
28 July 2017 CHINA : DELEGATES SELECTED TO THE 19TH PARTY CONGRESS by JAYADEVA RANADE Preparations for the 19th Congress of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) which, according to credible reports is likely to be held towards the end of October 2017, are well underway. The election of 2,300 Delegates to the Party Congress from 40 electoral blocs has virtually been completed. 2,270 Delegates were elected to the 18th Party Congress in November 2012. 1,909 Delegates for the 19th Party Congress representing Central Departments directly under the CCP Central Committee (CC), Central State organs, the Central Enterprise system and the provinces and centrally-administered Municipalities, have been elected. The Politburo Standing Committee (PBSC) members are, as per practice, all Delegates to the 19th Party Congress. Pertinently and possibly because of the focus this year on poverty alleviation, all PBSC members represent the poorer provinces. Xi Jinping is the Delegate from Guizhou, Li Keqiang from Guangxi, Zhang Dejiang from Inner Mongolia, Yu Zhengsheng from Xinjiang, Liu Yunshan represents Yunnan, Wang Qishan is the Delegate from Hunan and Zhang Gaoli from Shaanxi. The list of Delegates representing the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and People’s Armed Police Force (PAP) has not yet been released. At the 18th Party Congress in 2012 there were a total of 251 Delegates, or 10% of the total number, representing the PLA and 49 representing the PAP. The Hongkong media has pointed out at least eight prominent omissions from the list of Delegates to the upcoming Congress. All are either Full or Alternate members of the 18th CCP Central Committee and all are, interestingly, past members of the Communist Youth League (CYL).
