She has been an excellent student. We mourn for her and will always keep her in our minds! The publication of this issue has kindly been supported by the Salzburger Universitätsstiftung, by the Chinese Studies Centre and the History Department of the University of Salzburg (PLUS), and by the Gerda Henkel Foundation. Research contributes to the project “Seafaring, Trade, and Knowledge Transfer: Maritime Politics and Commerce in Early Middle Period to Early Modern China”, sponsored by the Gerda Henkel Foundation, to the partnership grant “Appraising Risk, Past and Present: Interrogating Historical Data to Enhance Understanding of Environmental Crises in the Indian Ocean World”, sponsored by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), and to the ERC AdG project TRANSPACIFIC which has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme (Grant agreement No. 833143). In my role as Head of the History Department at the University of Salzburg, I participated in Chen Zhenxiu’s interview for a job as doctoral student with Prof. Angela Schottenhammer in December 2017. We were all very convinced by her presentation. Seeing as the interview took place online, I was curious to meet our new colleague in real life, because she came across as highly motivated, competent, creative, open to new research methods and very likeable. At the time, everyone at the interview agreed that Chen Zhenxiu would add a great deal to our Department. It was wonderful to see that our expectations were met, for we had gained a very motivated, conscientious colleague, with a ready smile and happy laugh. Indeed, she more than fulfilled our expectations and I was curious to learn more about her research, especially with a view to her expertise on the topic of applying digital sources, literature and audio-visual sources to historical understanding. Our colleague Chen Zhenxiu’s sudden, unexpected death left us all bewildered and lost for words. Yet, despite this loss, we found thankfulness in the fact that we had got to know this impressive young researcher and we took inspiration from what she achieved while she was here. Naturally, these feelings are nevertheless outweighed by sadness about her passing away and by our enormous sympathy with her family. I will remember Chen Zhenxiu with the greatest respect. Albert Lichtblau Crossroads 17/18 (2018) As current Head of the History Department at the University of Salzburg, I join Albert Lichtblau and other colleagues in expressing my appreciation for Chen Zhenxiu, who passed away so unexpectedly last year. It was with great shock and tremendous sorrow that we learnt about this tragic occurrence. Everyone who came into contact with Zhenxiu immedi- ately recognized her friendliness and great enthusiasm for the subject of history. Our Dept. was honoured and grateful to get to know her during her time in Salzburg, for she was a talented scholar who showed admirable initiative and great intellectual ambition. Zhenxiu had previously studied in Great Britain and she brought many skills with her, as well as a positive, out- going nature and real generosity of spirit. On behalf of the entire Dept., I would like to express my sincere thanks to Angela Schottenhammer and her colleagues, Li Man, Elke Papelitzky and Alexander Jost, for putting to- gether this special issue of the journal and dedicating it to Zhenxiu’s memory. While her loss is irreplaceable, we hope that it provides a fitting tribute to a young colleague who enriched our institute with her presence. Particularly at this challenging juncture in global affairs, we will remember Zhenxiu as someone who embodied all that is best in international cooperation and who served as a shining example of what can be achieved through exchange and dialogue across countries and cultures. Above all, our thoughts and feelings of deepest sympathy go out to her family.

First of all, we would all like to express our sincere condolences, in the name of our History Department – where Chen Zhenxiu (1991–2019) was my student be- ginning in March, 2018 – as well as on behalf of the entire University of Salzburg. Her death has been truly sad for us, and a tragedy hard to endure. That Chen Zhenxiu so suddenly left us has been enormously grievous news that has left us all shocked. When I first heard of her having passed away, I, at first, thought the report wrong, a mistake. I could not believe it was true. That she has so sudden- ly left us is a huge loss for us all. In our minds we will stay with her forever! Chen Zhenxiu came to our department less than a year ago. She became my PhD student, investigating the relationship between maritime trade and local de- velopment in the Lingnan region (present-day Guangdong and parts of Guang- xi) during the Tang period (618–906). The working title of her PhD thesis was “Local Development and Foreign/Maritime Trade in Tang Period Lingnan (ca. 600–900) in the Context of Human-Environment Interaction”. This topic also formed part of a larger research project that I am carrying out in cooperation with my partners in the Indian Ocean World Centre at McGill University, one entitled “Appraising Risk, Past and Present: Interrogating Historical Data to Enhance Understanding of Environmental Crises in the Indian Ocean World”. Chen Zhenxiu was always very hard working, and an industrious and am- bitious student. During the short period she spent in our department, she read extensively in the historical sources related to her research. Although the topic was completely new to her, she quickly presented her first research re- sults. She had begun to trace the genealogies and activities of non-Han offi- cials with a migratory background working in the Lingnan Region. Every time she discovered some new, interesting historical record, she immediately reported to me, very happy with her progress! Our “Crossroads research group” – founded during summer 2015 (see also https://crossroads-research.net and https://www.facebook.com/crossroads.research.centre/) – greatly profited from her critical questions, and from many discussions with her. June of last year we went to Napoli in Italy together, to attend a workshop and Summer School organized by my colleague Patrizia Carioti (“Frontiers in Asia”).

    Prepared originally by a group of prospective social studies teachers at Brooklyn College and edited by Professor Leonard S. Kenworthy. AFFAIRS MATERIALS Brooklyn College Brooklyn I 0, N. Y. Revised Edition: 1959 p.l Resource Unit on China for Secondary Schools Introduction China is in the news today--and will undoubtedly be in the news for years (or centuries ) to come. It is the world's largest nation, with approximately 650 million per­ sons--or about one person in every four on our globe. In size it is the world's lecond largest country-­ next to the U.S.S.R. in total area and larger than Canada, Brazil, and the U.S.A. It is a country with nearly 4000 years of history and of great contributions in many fields to the world. In this vast land there is a revolution underway today which is political, social, and economic in nature. This revolution has caused the rest of the world to watch China with interest--and in some cases with great concern. Certainly the repurcussions of this revolution are being felt all over the world. Furthermore, the fact that the communist government of China has not been recognized by the United States and has not been admitted to the United Nations and its specialized agencies has provoked heated and bitter discussions around the globe. These questions are still being debated and dis­ cussed and will be for some time to come. What happens in China is of profound interest to the rest of the world. It is a country which needs to be studied in secondary schools throughout the United States.

  • Pan-Sinitic Object Marking: Morphology and Syntax*
    Breaking Down the Barriers, 785-816 2013-1-050-037-000234-1 Pan-Sinitic Object Marking: * Morphology and Syntax Hilary Chappell (曹茜蕾) EHESS In Chinese languages, when a direct object occurs in a non-canonical position preceding the main verb, this SOV structure can be morphologically marked by a preposition whose source comes largely from verbs or deverbal prepositions. For example, markers such as kā 共 in Southern Min are ultimately derived from the verb ‘to accompany’, pau11 幫 in many Huizhou and Wu dialects is derived from the verb ‘to help’ and bǎ 把 from the verb ‘to hold’ in standard Mandarin and the Jin dialects. In general, these markers are used to highlight an explicit change of state affecting a referential object, located in this preverbal position. This analysis sets out to address the issue of diversity in such object-marking constructions in order to examine the question of whether areal patterns exist within Sinitic languages on the basis of the main lexical fields of the object markers, if not the construction types. The possibility of establishing four major linguistic zones in China is thus explored with respect to grammaticalization pathways. Key words: typology, grammaticalization, object marking, disposal constructions, linguistic zones 1. Background to the issue In the case of transitive verbs, it is uncontroversial to state that a common word order in Sinitic languages is for direct objects to follow the main verb without any overt morphological marking: * This is a “cross-straits” paper as earlier versions were presented in turn at both the Institute of Linguistics, Academia Sinica, during the joint 14th Annual Conference of the International Association of Chinese Linguistics and 10th International Symposium on Chinese Languages and Linguistics, held in Taipei in May 25-29, 2006 and also at an invited seminar at the Institute of Linguistics, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing on 23rd October 2006.

  • CNY-Activity-Pack-2021.Pdf
    This is an activity pack to learn about the culture and traditions of Chinese New Year as observed in Malaysia. Due to the pandemic, many Girl Guide/Girl Scout units may not be able to meet face to face, therefore, leaders/units may adapt the activities to be done by individuals at home or in a group through virtual events. Suggested activities are simple and accompanied by references for leaders/units to do further research on each topic. A couple of references are suggested for each topic and these are not exhaustive. Leaders/units can do more research to find out more information. Individuals/units can choose activities they like from the list. It is not necessary to do all the activities listed in each topic. Most important is enjoy them with people whom you care! Due to the lack of time, we were not able to turn this into a nicely designed activity pack. We hope that by learning about culture, we could develop better understanding between people of different ethnicities as part of the peacebuilding process, and at the same time, having fun. Please note that the activities and descriptions are mostly based on the authors’ own knowledge and experience plus information from the internet. We apologize in advance should there be any parts that are inaccurate or cause discomfort in anyone. We would also like to record appreciation to the websites we referred in compiling information for this page. This is a volunteer project, not through any organisations, therefore there is no official badge linked to this pack.

    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.
