Since then, the idea of introducing this subject into modern Chinese studies and especially media studies never left my imagination. With the ever-growing number of databases and digitized resources, this endeavour became not only accomplishable, but provided me with the opportunity to follow a second interest of mine: the development of smooth little computer programs to enhance the work of the Geisteswissenschaftler. I foremost want to thank Barbara Mittler for a long list of reasons. To name but a few, she kindly agreed to become my supervisor and subsequently spent hours of her time discussing my ideas, reading drafts of all chapters, contesting my arguments, and bringing further primary and secondary literature to my knowledge. Moreover, Barbara Mittler encouraged my idea to write a computer program to find quotations, and most importantly she helped me to attain funding to develop the QuotationFinder, first by supporting my application for a Karl-Steinbuch scholarship of the Stiftung Baden-Württemberg, then by helping me to apply for a project at the Cluster of Excellence “Asia and Europe in a Global Context”. I am also indebted to Rudolf Wagner, my second supervisor, for reading and commenting on a chapter draft, for patiently answering a multitude of questions, and for investing much of his time in establishing both a traditional and digital library worthy of that name. A number of friends and colleagues contributed to my work by discussing ideas, reading drafts, criticising my argumentation or methodology, providing me with information, and correcting my faulty English expressions, or curious Chinese translations. I especially want to thank Lena Henningsen for her unceasing motivation, Nicolai Volland for his honest criticism, and Thomas Kampen for hours spent talking about Chinese history. I also want to thank my colleagues Jennifer Altehenger, Matthias Arnold, Edoardo Carlesi, Sven Eigler, Peter Gietz, Laura Jehl, Daniel Leese, Sun Liying, Michael Lüdke, Mareike Ohlberg, Leon Rocha, Miriam Seeger, and Shi Yun. I was given the opportunity to present and discuss my work at several occasions: a scholarship from the European Union enabled my participation at the 2006 Postgraduate Summer School “China in the World” in Nanjing and my subsequent visit to libraries in Beijing; the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Heidelberg generously funded my participation at the 2006 conference of the III Acknowledgements European Association of Chinese Studies (EACS) in Ljubljana; and the Graduiertenakadmie of the University of Heidelberg supported my participation at the 2008 EACS conference in Lund. I repeatedly had the advantage of presenting my work to the East-Asian colloquium of the East-Asian Studies Centre and the Popular Culture Group at the Institute of Chinese Studies at the University of Heidelberg. And last but not least, the workshop “Rethinking Trends” financed by the Cluster of Excellence and organised by members of the Popular Culture Group has been an inspiring event, allowing me among others to discuss my work with Felix Boecking and Stanley Rosen. But my sincerest gratitude belongs to my friends and family who accompanied me through the last years, partaking in my fascination and joy, but also in my frustration and stress: my friends Verena Schmalz-Steger, Karla Dörken, Agnes Abel, and Dorothea Eberhart; my brother James Gross, and my cousin Fabian Gross. I am deeply indebted to my mother Ingrid who not only encouraged me all those years, but together with my godmother Christa Meißen took the trouble to read every single line of my thesis correcting many little and some larger mistakes. My last ‘thank you’ goes to my husband Norman for discussing with me my ideas for this thesis and the QuotationFinder, for his encouragement and patience, or simply for taking me out for a walk to quiet down my busy mind. The fault for any remaining errors or inaccuracies, of course, rests with Jennifer May as author of this thesis.

  • Chapter One Introduction
    ICT1 21/8/00 6:44 PM Page 1 Chapter One Introduction The past is always altered for motives that reflect present needs. We reshape our heritage to make it attractive in modern terms; we seek to make it part of ourselves, and ourselves part of it; we confirm it to our self-images and aspirations. Rendered grand or homely, magnified or tarnished, history is continually altered in our private interests or on behalf of our community or country. —David Lowenthal, The Past Is a Foreign Country History connects past with present. This connection is established by and, generally, also for the present. Yet, the ways in which his- torians write history vary tremendously: History is and has been written differently for different purposes.1 In order to cast light on present events, for example, one can simply collect and preserve any available information about the past. What prompted Herodotus (484–424? B.C.E.) to write his Histories, as he professed at its outset, was to prevent the memory of the Greeks about their glorious victory over the Persians from falling into oblivion. In China where historical writing has long been an integral part of its civilization, there is a well-known adage, “to know the future in the mirror of the past” (jian wang zhi lai), that expresses a similar desire to remember past events for better understanding the present and 1 ICT1 21/8/00 6:44 PM Page 2 2 INTRODUCTION successfully speculating upon the future. While interest in the past of this sort is shown in many historical cultures, contributing to the development of historical study, it by no means addresses fully the complex relationship between past and present.

    Kölner China-Studien Online Arbeitspapiere zu Politik, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft Chinas Cologne China Studies Online Working Papers on Chinese Politics, Economy and Society No. 1 / 1995 Thomas Scharping The Man, the Myth, the Message: New Trends in Mao Literature From China Zusammenfassung: Dies ist die erweiterte Fassung eines früher publizierten englischen Aufsatzes. Er untersucht 43 Werke der neueren chinesischen Mao-Literatur aus den frühen 1990er Jahren, die in ihnen enthaltenen Aussagen zur Parteigeschichte und zum Selbstverständnis der heutigen Führung. Neben zahlreichen neuen Informationen über die chinesische Innen- und Außenpolitik, darunter besonders die Kampagnen der Mao-Zeit wie Großer Sprung und Kulturrevolution, vermitteln die Werke wichtige Einblicke in die politische Kultur Chinas. Trotz eindeutigen Versuchen zur Durchsetzung einer einheitlichen nationalen Identität und Geschichtsschreibung bezeugen sie auch die Existenz eines unabhängigen, kritischen Denkens in China. Schlagworte: Mao Zedong, Parteigeschichte, Ideologie, Propaganda, Historiographie, politische Kultur, Großer Sprung, Kulturrevolution Autor: Thomas Scharping ([email protected]) ist Professor für Moderne China-Studien, Lehrstuhl für Neuere Geschichte / Politik, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft Chinas, an der Universität Köln. Abstract: This is the enlarged version of an English article published before. It analyzes 43 works of the new Chinese Mao literature from the early 1990s, their revelations of Party history and their clues for the self-image of the present leadership. Besides revealing a wealth of new information on Chinese domestic and foreign policy, in particular on the campaigns of the Mao era like the Great Leap and the Cultural Revolution, the works convey important insights into China’s political culture. In spite of the overt attempts at forging a unified national identity and historiography, they also document the existence of independent, critical thought in China.

ISBN: 978-1-69157-995-2 Created with Vellum During his years in power, Mao Zedong initiated three policies which could be described as radical departures from Soviet and Chinese Communist practice: the Hundred Flowers of 1956-1957, the Great Leap Forward 1958-1960, and the Cultural Revolution of 1966-1976. Each was a disaster: the first for the intellectuals, the second for the people, the third for the Party, all three for the country. — RODERICK MACFARQUHAR, THE SECRET SPEECHES OF CHAIRMAN MAO In many ways, [Deng Xiaoping’s] reputation is underestimated: while Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev oversaw the peaceful end of Soviet communist rule and the dismembering of the Soviet empire, he had wanted to keep the Soviet Union in place and reform it. Instead it fell apart; communism lost power—and Russia endured a decade of instability […]. Perhaps the most influential political titan of the late 20th century, Deng succeeded in guiding China towards his vision where his fellow communist leaders failed. — SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE, TITANS OF HISTORY CONTENTS Introduction ix 1.

  • History of China and Japan from 1900To 1976 Ad 18Bhi63c
    HISTORY OF CHINA AND JAPAN FROM 1900TO 1976 A.D 18BHI63C (UNIT II) V.VIJAYAKUMAR 9025570709 III B A HISTORY - VI SEMESTER Yuan Shikai Yuan Shikai (Chinese: 袁世凱; pinyin: Yuán Shìkǎi; 16 September 1859 – 6 June 1916) was a Chinese military and government official who rose to power during the late Qing dynasty, becoming the Emperor of the Empire of China (1915–1916). He tried to save the dynasty with a number of modernization projects including bureaucratic, fiscal, judicial, educational, and other reforms, despite playing a key part in the failure of the Hundred Days' Reform. He established the first modern army and a more efficient provincial government in North China in the last years of the Qing dynasty before the abdication of the Xuantong Emperor, the last monarch of the Qing dynasty, in 1912. Through negotiation, he became the first President of the Republic of China in 1912.[1] This army and bureaucratic control were the foundation of his autocratic. He was frustrated in a short-lived attempt to restore hereditary monarchy in China, with himself as the Hongxian Emperor (Chinese: 洪憲皇帝). His death shortly after his abdication led to the fragmentation of the Chinese political system and the end of the Beiyang government as China's central authority. On 16 September 1859, Yuan was born as Yuan Shikai in the village of Zhangying (張營村), Xiangcheng County, Chenzhou Prefecture, Henan, China. The Yuan clan later moved 16 kilometers southeast of Xiangcheng to a hilly area that was easier to defend against bandits. There the Yuans had built a fortified village, Yuanzhaicun (Chinese: 袁寨村; lit.

The essence of the latter is encapsulated in “Mao Zedong Thought,” which is viewed as an expression not just of Mao the individual but of the collective leadership of the Party. In most recent representations, “Chinese Marxism” is viewed as having developed in two phases: New Democracy, which brought the Communist Party to power in 1949, and “socialism with Chinese characteristics,” inaugurated under Deng Xiaoping and developed under his successors, and which represents a further development of Mao Zedong Thought.

It sets out the terms of comparison between the Blueshirts and Fascist organisations in Europe and Japan, indicating where there were similarities and differences of ideology and practice, as well as establishing links between them. It then analyses the reasons for the appeal of Fascist organisations and methods to Chiang Kaishek. Following an examination of global factors, the emergence of the Blueshirts from an internal point of view is considered. As well as assuming many of the characteristics of a Fascist organisation, especially according to the Japanese model and to some extent to the European model, the Blueshirts were in many ways typical of the power-cliques which were already an integral part of Chinese politics.

For the full text of this licence, please go to: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/ Shanghai Symphony Orchestra in ‘C’ Major (1879 to 2010) By Mengyu Luo A Doctoral thesis Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements For the award of Doctor of Philosophy Loughborough University 15th March © by Mengyu Luo (2013) 1 Abstract Shanghai Symphony Orchestra is a fascinating institution. It was first founded in 1879 under the name of ‘Shanghai Public Band’ and was later, in 1907, developed into an orchestra with 33 members under the baton of German conductor Rudolf Buck. Since Mario Paci—an Italian pianist—became its conductor in 1919, the Orchestra developed swiftly and was crowned ‘the best in the Far East’ 远东第一 by a Japanese musician Tanabe Hisao 田边尚雄 in 1923. At that time, Shanghai was semi-colonized by the International Settlement and the French Concession controlled by the Shanghai Municipal Council and the French Council respectively. They were both exempt from local Chinese authority. The Orchestra was an affiliated organization of the former: the Shanghai Municipal Council. When the Chinese Communist Party took over mainland China in 1949, the Orchestra underwent dramatic transformations. It was applied as a political propaganda tool performing music by composers from the socialist camp and adapting folk Chinese songs to Western classical instruments in order to serve the masses.
