The man Confucius, as he has been staged in the text of the Analects, is always surrounded by a few key figures with distinct personalities, social backgrounds, and trajectories: the practical and straight-talker Zilu with military training, the gifted and politically skilled Zigong coming from a wealthy family, the youngest and favorite disciple Yan Hui from humble origins whose premature death left the Master inconsolable, Zengzi keen on transmitting the supposed true teachings of Confucius and to whom is attributed the Book of Filial Piety, etc.

SUNY Series in Chinese Philosophy and Culture. Albany, NY: SUNY Press, 2014. x, 331 pp. US$95 (hb). ISBN 978-1-4384-5157-2 Joseph A. Adler’s contribution to Confucian studies aims to clarify the problematic relationship that unites Zhu Xi 朱熹 (1130–1200) with Zhou Dunyi 周敦頤 (1017– 1073). Indeed, why did Zhu Xi choose a minor figure with Daoist connections as the founder of “Neo-Confucianism”? In order to clarify this “appropriation” from one thinker to another, Adler proposes an answer in two parts (argumentation and trans- lations), divided into eight chapters. The introduction, especially useful to non-specialist readers, recounts the emergence of Song Confucianism and its masters. Unsatisfied with the conventional philosophi- cal explanation for Zhu Xi’s choice of Zhou Dunyi, Adler argues that one must inquire into Zhu Xi’s life and religious practice to understand his thought. Through a well-justified explanation of Confucianism as a religious tradition, Adler asserts that Zhu Xi’s articulation of the difference between belief and action is fundamental to explain “the peculiar shape taken by the Cheng-Zhu school” (p. 7) and, therefore, to analyze the issue of the succession of the Way or daotong 道統. Through the exposition of biographical, historical, and political elements (chapter 1), Adler shows that Zhu Xi’s vision of the Dao 道 is grounded in the differentiation between Buddhist (Chan) and Confucian metaphysical interpretations, as well as in their concrete applications within society.

  • The Chinese Traditional Acceptance of Information from the View of Contemporary Communication Theory
    The Chinese Traditional Acceptance of Information from the View of Contemporary Communication Theory Shao Peiren Fellow of Academic Committee of Zhejiang University, Deputy Director for the Faculty of Humanities, Zhejiang University, Director for Institute of Communication Studies, Zhejiang University, and PhD. candidate supervisor. Communication School of Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, 310028 Telephone :(86) 0571-8827-3032 Email: [email protected] Abstract Language is proper to mankind, the externalization of human kindness. Because of it what an audience accepts is his self-portrait, we can analyze and get to know the state, rules and characteristics of Chinese ancient audience thorough traditional information acceptance concept and the interpretation. We can get that “Guan”, “Wei” and “Wen” is special Chinese acceptance concept by the ways of basing on the textual research, discrimination and organization of various concepts of acceptance of information at one end and analyzing and reasoning of relevant information and contemporary research achievements at the other end. The emotions of these three concepts reflect the ancient Chinese unique acceptance state and the quintessence of the dated brightness comes through them. This paper also shows five chief notes: (1), piety and seriousness; (2) chewing and repetition; (3) subtila and depth; (4) hierarchy and progress; (5) contact and peep. “It is language that makes human being what he is. He who can not use a language can not be regarded as a true man”. Language, original and peculiar to human, is the element and the code of information dissemination; is the hallmark and characteristic of mankind. And at the same time it is a psychological weapon used by men in knowing the world, reflecting the world and in remoulding the world.

  • Script Crisis and Literary Modernity in China, 1916-1958 Zhong Yurou
    Script Crisis and Literary Modernity in China, 1916-1958 Zhong Yurou Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Yurou Zhong All rights reserved ABSTRACT Script Crisis and Literary Modernity in China, 1916-1958 Yurou Zhong This dissertation examines the modern Chinese script crisis in twentieth-century China. It situates the Chinese script crisis within the modern phenomenon of phonocentrism – the systematic privileging of speech over writing. It depicts the Chinese experience as an integral part of a worldwide crisis of non-alphabetic scripts in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It places the crisis of Chinese characters at the center of the making of modern Chinese language, literature, and culture. It investigates how the script crisis and the ensuing script revolution intersect with significant historical processes such as the Chinese engagement in the two World Wars, national and international education movements, the Communist revolution, and national salvation. Since the late nineteenth century, the Chinese writing system began to be targeted as the roadblock to literacy, science and democracy. Chinese and foreign scholars took the abolition of Chinese script to be the condition of modernity. A script revolution was launched as the Chinese response to the script crisis. This dissertation traces the beginning of the crisis to 1916, when Chao Yuen Ren published his English article “The Problem of the Chinese Language,” sweeping away all theoretical oppositions to alphabetizing the Chinese script. This was followed by two major movements dedicated to the task of eradicating Chinese characters: First, the Chinese Romanization Movement spearheaded by a group of Chinese and international scholars which was quickly endorsed by the Guomingdang (GMD) Nationalist government in the 1920s; Second, the dissident Chinese Latinization Movement initiated in the Soviet Union and championed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in the 1930s.

In Pursuit of the Great Peace: Han Dynasty Classicism and the Making of Early Medieval Literati Culture Abstract This dissertation is focused on communities of people in the Han dynasty (205 B.C.-A.D. 220) who possessed the knowledge of a corpus of texts: the Five Classics. Previously scholars have understood the popularity of this corpus in the Han society as a result of stiff ideology and imperial propaganda. However, this approach fails to explain why the imperial government considered them effective to convey propaganda in the first place. It does not capture the diverse range of ideas in classicism. This dissertation concentrates on Han classicists and treats them as scholars who constantly competed for attention in intellectual communities and solved problems with innovative solutions that were plausible to their contemporaries. This approach explains the nature of the apocryphal texts, which scholars have previously referred to as shallow and pseudo-scientific.

Archaeological findings have shown that during the reigns of Emperors Xuan and Yuan (74–49 BC and 48–33 BC), the Analects was popularized throughout the territory of the empire and read widely by different social groups, from members of the royal family to local bureaucrats. Moreover, the discovery of the chapter “Zhi Dao” 智道 in the Haihunhou Analects provided conclusive evidence for the existence of the Qi Lun mentioned in the Hanshu 漢書.

The Merchants in Shiji: An Interpretation in the Light of Later Debates Béatrice L’Haridon “Biographies of Wealthy Merchants”1 (“Huozhi liezhuan” 貨殖列傳) is one of the most astonishing and debated chapters in Sima Qian’s Shiji 史記. A common approach in modern and recent scholarship has been to assert this chapter as a first, but pitifully abortive attempt to appreciate the role of mercantile activity and techniques in human history: except for Ban Gu’s Hanshu 漢書 which contains as well a chapter devoted to the merchants and their accumulation of wealth,2 later official histories do not leave any specific space to merchants.

  • Transliteration Extraction from Classical Chinese Buddhist Literature Using Conditional Random Fields with Language Models
    Computational Linguistics and Chinese Language Processing Vol. 19, No. 3, September 2014, pp. 25-38 25 The Association for Computational Linguistics and Chinese Language Processing Transliteration Extraction from Classical Chinese Buddhist Literature Using Conditional Random Fields with Language Models Yu-Chun Wang , Karol Chia-Tien Chang , Richard Tzong-Han Tsai , and Jieh Hsiang Abstract Extracting plausible transliterations from historical literature is a key issue in historical linguistics and other research fields. In Chinese historical literature, the characters used to transliterate the same loanword may vary because of different translation eras or different Chinese language preferences among translators. To assist historical linguists and digital humanities researchers, this paper proposes a transliteration extraction method based on the conditional random field method with features based on the language models and the characteristics of the Chinese characters used in transliterations. To evaluate our method, we compiled an evaluation set from two Buddhist texts, the Samyuktagama and the Lotus Sutra. We also constructed a baseline approach with a suffix array based extraction method and phonetic similarity measurement. Our method significantly outperforms the baseline approach, and the method achieves recall of 0.9561 and precision of 0.9444. The results show our method is very effective for extracting transliterations in classical Chinese texts.
