Unified Input on Proposed Changes to Unihan Readings L2/15-036 L2/15-036 Subject: Unified input on proposed changes to Unihan readings To: UTC Date: 2015-Jan-30 Source: Compiled by Peter Edberg based on input from Åke Persson, Apple experts, CLDR This document proposes changes to various Unihan fields related to character readings: Primarily to kMandarin (including addition of a second value in some cases for distinct readings in traditional Chinese), but also in some cases to kHanyPinyin and kHanyuPinlu. It has been compiled from various sources including 2 proposals by Åke Persson (Mimer), 2 reports by Apple experts, and various CLDR tickets. Sources and references thereto include the following: 1. Persson-2013-05: Proposed changes in Unihan kMandarin field for 571 Han characters, Åke Persson, 2013-05-27. In repository as L2/15-034. This includes cross references to readings from Zdic, Microsoft, Mimer. 2. Persson-2013-12: Proposed changes in Unihan_Readings.txt, Åke Persson, 2013-12-10. In repository as L2/15-035. These are based on Hànyǔ Dà Zìdiǎn ISBN 7-80543-001-2. 3. Apple-13277481: Proposed kMandarin updates that apply to both simplified and traditional Chinese. These are drawn from the following sources: • http://www.zdic.net • http://chardb.iis.sinica.edu.tw • http://xh.5156edu.com • http://dict.revised.moe.edu.tw 4. Apple-13277421: Proposed kMandarin additions (second value) specific to traditional Chinese. This also included some proposals for changes relevant to both simplified and traditional Chinese. The initial proposed list was also filed as CLDR ticket 5749. 5. cldr5025-leftover: Several Mimer values from the list of 24 proposed changes not addressed in CLDR ticket 5025; see the list at the end of http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/ticket/5205#comment:8 6. cldr5749-main: The initial list of zh-Hant-specific readings in http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/ticket/5749 This document includes several tables derived from the above: 1. 287 changes to kMandarin proposed by both Persson-2013-05 and Apple-13277481, with which Zdic and Microsoft values also agree. These seem completely uncontroversial. 1x. 6 changes similar to the above, but for which either the Apple proposed value conflicts with Persson/Zdic/MS or the MS value conflicts with Persson/Zdic/Apple. 2. 275 changes to kMandarin proposed by Persson-2013-05 and supported by Zdic and Microsoft values, but for which Apple did not make a suggestion. 2x. 3 changes similar to the above, but for which the “kHanyuPinyin indirect reference” value cited by Persson conflicts with the proposed reading. 3. 113 changes to kMandarin proposed by Apple-13277481, for which Persson did not make a suggestion (for these I do not have the information about Zdic or Microsoft values). 4. 49 additions to kMandarin (second values specific to traditional Chinese) proposed by Apple-13277421. 5. Changes to various Unihan reading fields (kMandarin, kHanyuPinyin, and/or kHanyuPinlu) for 35 characters, proposed by Persson-2013-12, including 28 changes to kMandarin; 2 of the latter are also proposed by Apple-13277481. Also corrections to the code point for 4 sets of reading data.

  • Tianjin Travel Guide
    Tianjin Travel Guide Travel in Tianjin Tianjin (tiān jīn 天津), referred to as "Jin (jīn 津)" for short, is one of the four municipalities directly under the Central Government of China. It is 130 kilometers southeast of Beijing (běi jīng 北京), serving as Beijing's gateway to the Bohai Sea (bó hǎi 渤海). It covers an area of 11,300 square kilometers and there are 13 districts and five counties under its jurisdiction. The total population is 9.52 million. People from urban Tianjin speak Tianjin dialect, which comes under the mandarin subdivision of spoken Chinese. Not only is Tianjin an international harbor and economic center in the north of China, but it is also well-known for its profound historical and cultural heritage. History People started to settle in Tianjin in the Song Dynasty (sòng dài 宋代). By the 15th century it had become a garrison town enclosed by walls. It became a city centered on trade with docks and land transportation and important coastal defenses during the Ming (míng dài 明代) and Qing (qīng dài 清代) dynasties. After the end of the Second Opium War in 1860, Tianjin became a trading port and nine countries, one after the other, established concessions in the city. Historical changes in past 600 years have made Tianjin an unique city with a mixture of ancient and modem in both Chinese and Western styles. After China implemented its reforms and open policies, Tianjin became one of the first coastal cities to open to the outside world. Since then it has developed rapidly and become a bright pearl by the Bohai Sea.

    Asian Medicine 7 (2012) 101–127 brill.com/asme Palpable Access to the Divine: Daoist Medieval Massage, Visualisation and Internal Sensation1 Michael Stanley-Baker Abstract This paper examines convergent discourses of cure, health and transcendence in fourth century Daoist scriptures. The therapeutic massages, inner awareness and visualisation practices described here are from a collection of revelations which became the founding documents for Shangqing (Upper Clarity) Daoism, one of the most influential sects of its time. Although formal theories organised these practices so that salvation superseded curing, in practice they were used together. This blending was achieved through a series of textual features and synæsthesic practices intended to address existential and bodily crises simultaneously. This paper shows how therapeutic inter- ests were fundamental to soteriology, and how salvation informed therapy, thus drawing atten- tion to the entanglements of religion and medicine in early medieval China. Keywords Massage, synæsthesia, visualisation, Daoism, body gods, soteriology The primary sources for this paper are the scriptures of the Shangqing 上清 (Upper Clarity), an early Daoist school which rose to prominence as the fam- ily religion of the imperial family. The soteriological goal was to join an elite class of divine being in the Shangqing heaven, the Perfected (zhen 真), who were superior to Transcendents (xianren 仙). Their teachings emerged at a watershed point in the development of Daoism, the indigenous religion of 1 I am grateful for the insightful criticisms and comments on draughts of this paper from Robert Campany, Jennifer Cash, Charles Chase, Terry Kleeman, Vivienne Lo, Johnathan Pettit, Pierce Salguero, and Nathan Sivin.

  • Religion in China BKGA 85 Religion Inchina and Bernhard Scheid Edited by Max Deeg Major Concepts and Minority Positions MAX DEEG, BERNHARD SCHEID (EDS.)
    Religions of foreign origin have shaped Chinese cultural history much stronger than generally assumed and continue to have impact on Chinese society in varying regional degrees. The essays collected in the present volume put a special emphasis on these “foreign” and less familiar aspects of Chinese religion. Apart from an introductory article on Daoism (the BKGA 85 BKGA Religion in China proto­typical autochthonous religion of China), the volume reflects China’s encounter with religions of the so-called Western Regions, starting from the adoption of Indian Buddhism to early settlements of religious minorities from the Near East (Islam, Christianity, and Judaism) and the early modern debates between Confucians and Christian missionaries. Contemporary Major Concepts and religious minorities, their specific social problems, and their regional diversities are discussed in the cases of Abrahamitic traditions in China. The volume therefore contributes to our understanding of most recent and Minority Positions potentially violent religio-political phenomena such as, for instance, Islamist movements in the People’s Republic of China. Religion in China Religion ∙ Max DEEG is Professor of Buddhist Studies at the University of Cardiff. His research interests include in particular Buddhist narratives and their roles for the construction of identity in premodern Buddhist communities. Bernhard SCHEID is a senior research fellow at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. His research focuses on the history of Japanese religions and the interaction of Buddhism with local religions, in particular with Japanese Shintō. Max Deeg, Bernhard Scheid (eds.)

    SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS Number 216 October, 2011 Is Shuma the Chinese Analog of Soma/Haoma? A Study of Early Contacts between Indo-Iranians and Chinese by ZHANG He Victor H. Mair, Editor Sino-Platonic Papers Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6305 USA [email protected] www.sino-platonic.org SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS FOUNDED 1986 Editor-in-Chief VICTOR H. MAIR Associate Editors PAULA ROBERTS MARK SWOFFORD ISSN 2157-9679 (print) 2157-9687 (online) SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series dedicated to making available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished. The editor-in-chief actively encourages younger, not yet well established, scholars and independent authors to submit manuscripts for consideration. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including romanized modern standard Mandarin (MSM) and Japanese, are acceptable. In special circumstances, papers written in one of the Sinitic topolects (fangyan) may be considered for publication. Although the chief focus of Sino-Platonic Papers is on the intercultural relations of China with other peoples, challenging and creative studies on a wide variety of philological subjects will be entertained. This series is not the place for safe, sober, and stodgy presentations. Sino- Platonic Papers prefers lively work that, while taking reasonable risks to advance the field, capitalizes on brilliant new insights into the development of civilization. Submissions are regularly sent out to be refereed, and extensive editorial suggestions for revision may be offered. Sino-Platonic Papers emphasizes substance over form.
