5 Catalog / Summer 2021 / Royal Collins FEATURED BOOKS

The Nanjing Massacre is known as one of the darkest pages in 20th-century world history. For various reasons, however, this historical tragedy remained relatively unknown to the general public in the West until the 1997 publication of Iris Chang’s popular book, The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II. Since then, the topic has drawn more attention.

A History of the Nanjing Massacre is the first comprehensive narrative of the massacre written by a group of Chinese scholars from Nanjing. From the fall of the city, to the atrocities themselves, to the international community’s efforts to save refugees, and finally to the trials of the war criminals, the book offers a complete story of the massacre from the Chinese, Japanese, and Western perspectives.

The book is based on a substantial amount of primary source materials collected by a group of Chinese and foreign scholars led by Professor Zhang Xianwen of Nanjing University from major archives and libraries around the world. This massive effort resulted in the publication of 72 volumes of historical data, the most comprehensive collection on the topic.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Zhang Xianwen, chief editor of Nanjing Massacre Historical Collection, is a professor of the School of History, Nanjing University and honorary President of China Modern History Society.

Cloth  400pp  152 x 235 mm  English  LINGUISTICS Basics of Semiotics $79.95 John Deely ISBN: 978-1-4878-0780-1

11 Catalog / Summer 2021 / Royal Collins FEATURED BOOKS

The last half century has produced an increasing interest in semiotics, the study of signs. As an interdisciplinary field, moreover, semiotics has produced a vast literature from many different points of view. As the discourse has expanded, clear definitions and goals become more elusive. Semioticians still lack a unified theory of the purposes of semiotics as a discipline as well as a comprehensive rationale for the linking of semiosis at the levels of culture, society, and nature. This short, cogent, philosophically oriented book outlines and analyzes the basic concepts of semiotics in a coherent, overall framework.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

John Deely was an American philosopher and semiotician. He was a professor of philosophy at Saint Vincent College and Seminary in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Prior to this, he held the Rudman Chair of Graduate Philosophy at the Center for Thomistic Studies, located at the University of St. Thomas. His main research concerned the role of semiosis in mediating objects and things. He specifically investigated the manner in which experience itself is a dynamic structure woven of triadic relations whose elements or terms interchange positions and roles over time in the spiral of semiosis.

15 Catalog / Summer 2021 / Royal Collins FEATURED BOOKS

The Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang are a treasure house of ancient Chinese art. Even today, murals and painted sculptures remain in 492 of the caves. This book aims to take Cave 254, dating from the Northern Wei Dynasty, as an example to guide readers to a deeper understanding of the historical culture and artistic achievements of the grottoes in Dunhuang.

Having laid out the historical background of the excavation of Cave 254 in the way of historical narration, the book starts with a close reading of the murals on the north and south walls of Cave 254, following the spatial order inside the cave. Combined with the architectural form, murals, and painted sculptures, it offers an overall interpretation of the construction and conception of the grottoes. The hope is that this sort of model case will allow for a richer experience beyond the usual introduction, so that readers and viewers can have a better understanding of the spirit and meaning behind the images and more specifically experience the superb skills and ingenuity of the creators of Dunhuang’s Mogao Grottoes.

49 Catalog / Summer 2021 / Royal Collins FEATURED BOOKS

An Ideological History of the Communist Party of China is a 3-volume series that traces the development of the thought underlying the CPC’s policies, methods, and actions since its establishment in 1921. The first volume covers the period from the founding of the Party through a turbulent period of armed revolutionary struggle until the establishment of the new China in 1949. The second volume picks up there and continues through 1978, the year the Reform and Opening Up policy was launched. The final volume in the series traces the various policies and development of the CPC’s ideology through the Reform and Opening Up era until the present.

All three volumes present an inside look at the shaping of the Party’s ideology, reflecting the ways in which that ideology has played out in the CPC’s social, political, military, economic, and cultural agendas. It is an insightful analysis of the Party’s own narrative of its ideological development over nearly a century, a view rarely available in English-language publications about the Communist Party of China. The key issues of each historical period are covered in great detail, with careful analysis of the errors and rectification of errors that led to the ultimate development of sound Marxist policy suited to the actual situation current in China at the time the policy was adopted. The measured candor and humility expressed in this analysis might come as a surprise to some English-language readers, particularly those who have been repeatedly told by Western media sources that the CPC is not forthcoming about its errors. Perhaps this shows a development of a new state of affairs in contemporary China, or perhaps it indicates that the portrayal of the CPC in Western media has been influenced by their own political biases – or perhaps a measure of both.

This series is suited to readers who are reasonably well-versed with the events of modern Chinese history, but lack insight into the development of the CPC’s thought and policies throughout its development. These books do an excellent job of reflecting the sophistication behind the thought that underlies Chinese Marxism, the driving ideology of the Communist Party of China.

ENDORSEMENTS

Western students of Chinese philosophy and culture who would aspire to acquire a nuanced and sophisticated understanding of this antique tradition must master a new conceptual vocabulary that will provide them with a portal onto the other side of the looking-glass. This project has recruited the leading scholars to select, research, and explain the conceptual structure of Chinese culture and to provide these students with the critical resource needed to expand their own cultural horizons. —Roger T. Ames (Professor of Philosophy and editor of Philosophy East & West)

Paper  404pp  155 × 230 mm  Hindi comprehensive reference book is valuable to both the ISBN: 978-1-4878-0395-7 professional academics as well as the educated layman. On the one hand, professional sinologists will find it handy reference for the fundamental concepts that they encounter in their work. On the other, laymen will find it a reliable, straightforward introduction to traditional Chinese civilization. —Guy Salvatore Alitto (Professor of History at University of Chicago)

The German philosopher Hans Georg Gadamer once said that being able to listen is not self understood. And Goethe once allowed one of his female protagonists to declare that being able to see is not self understood either. How do we understand? That is a basic question in modernity. This is especially true for terms we are using every day. Chinese terms are very complicated. They have a long history and their appropriate translation is often not possible. Thus “Key Concepts” is the right attempt to help foreign readers of the history of Chinese thought to get a basic understanding of what the Chinese mind might stand for. —Wolfgang Kubin (former director of the Institute for Oriental and Asian Studies at the University of Bonn)

Let us follow her path of study, the road taken by this great woman scientist, and see how science researchers fought against malaria, discovered artemisinin, and saved lives.

Tu Youyou discovered artemisinin, the drug that “saved 200 million people.” In 2013, worldwide there were about 200 million people were reported to have had malaria, and about 580,000 died.

The future benefits of many seminal discoveries in basic biomedical sciences are not always obvious in the short run. But for a handful of others, the impact on human health is immediately clear. Such is the case for the discovery by Youyou Tu and colleagues of artemisinin (also known as Qinghaosu) for treatment of malaria.

Although malaria has been eliminated in the U.S., it causes hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide each year. Tu’s discovery is a mainstay in the efforts to save those lives. —Time

Nearly 50 years ago, Tu Youyou began working on a classified Communist military project using clues from ancient Chinese medicine in search of new cures for malaria. Tu shared the Nobel Prize for Medicine in recognition of her work, which has led to one of the world’s final and most potent defenses against a tropical disease that kills over half a million people each year. —The Washington Post

Tu Youyou began working on malaria during China’s Cultural Revolution, when the government launched a secret military project to find a remedy to one of the world’s most deadly diseases. Tu went through traditional Chinese medical and folk remedy texts looking for possible treatments. One, the extracts from Artemisia annua L., or sweet wormwood, stopped the parasite’s growth. In 1972 they produced a drug that could be used to treat humans. Cloth  152pp  145 × 210 mm  Hindi ISBN: 978-1-4878-0079-6 —USA Today

China continues to be a puzzling place, with the specifics of its development still poorly understood. Few have delved deeply into deciphering the ground-level intangibles of the nation’s recent socio-economic past.

Yiwu’s rise was emblematic of China’s success; the challenges it is currently facing portray China’s recent difficulties.

Regarding the development of Buddhism in China, it traces the spread in chronological order, from the introduction in Han Dynasties (202 B.C.–220 A.D.), to the prosperity in the Sixteen Kingdoms (circa. 304–circa. 439 A.D.), and then to the decline since the Five Dynasties (907–circa. 960 A.D.). It is noteworthy that the Buddhist schools in the Southern and Northern Dynasties (420–589 A.D.), and the Buddhist sects in Sui and Tang Dynasties (581–907 A.D.), contribute to the sinicization of Buddhism. This book also deals with the interesting question of the similarities and differences between Chinese Paper  306pp  158 × 233 mm  Hindi Buddhism and Indian Buddhism, to examine the specific characters ISBN: 978-1-4878-0428-2 of the former in terms of thought and culture.

A Bite of Shunde (Three Volumes) Liu Shuo, Fei Youming, Li Jianming & Liao Xixiang Translated by Chen Zimin

This is a place where antiquity meets modernity. Its thousand- year tradition of land reclamation has brought forth fertile mulberry fish ponds. Its silk-reeling industry that flourished 100 years ago, has given it immense prosperity. Today, it is a manufacturing powerhouse, producing home appliances that are changing the lives of billions of people around the world. But for all these proud traditions and achievements, Shunde still rests on its most prestigious element – gourmet. With gourmet foods as its genetic code, Shunde sets itself apart from any other place on earth.

AN OFFERING BY THE SAME CREW THAT PRODUCED A BITE OF CHINA

It is this question that we are seeking to address by producing A Bite of Shunde. This documentary consists of three episodes arranged under three separate subtitles, namely, Time-honored Traditions, Culinary Ingenuity and Recipe Continuation, which respectively delve into the Pearl River Delta’ s enduring farming traditions, the road to culinary mastery and the standing of Shunde cuisine. The documentary is dedicated as a tribute of the highest order to the wisdom of our forebears and to Shunde cuisine. By detailing local food ingredients, traditional recipes and culinary craftsmanship of Shunde, this documentary may give us a new sense of direction. In a nutshell, we hope to draw strength from food traditions for moving forward.

Nymph of the Luo River Series: The Royal Collection of Imperial China

Gu Kaizhi | Western & Eastern Jin Dynasties (266–420)

Ink and color on silk; length 27 cm, width 573 cm

This scroll inspired by Cao Zhi’s “Ode to the Nymph of the Luo River,” a poem from the Three Kingdoms period that describes the admiration Cao held for the Nymph, and expresses the melancholy feeling caused by the insurmountable divide between the goddess and the mortal.

The scroll repeatedly depicts the same group of main characters in different scenes, using rocks, trees, and streams to divide each scene. Through this approach, the painting is simultaneously segmented and continuous. Rendered in exquisite, vigorous, yet unadorned lines and color washes resembling the threads produced by silkworms in spring, the brightly colored scroll features a painting technique known as “kong gou wu cun,” used mainly in depicting landscapes, especially of mountains and rocks. The technique is used here to paint mountains, streams, trees, and rocks. Later generations have commented that in the scroll, “figures and boats are disproportionately large compared to the mountains and rivers.”

ABOUT THE PAINTER

Gu Kaizhi (c. AD 345–409), known by the aliases Changkang and Hutou, was born in Wuxi during the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was erudite and talented, good at calligraphy and poetry, and especially adept at painting. He was said to have been perfect at “painting, literary composition, and foolishness.” He is known as one of the Four Great Painters of the Six Dynasties, alongside Cao Buxing, Lu Tanwei, and Zhang Sengyou. He wrote three books on painting, entitled On Painting, Introduction to Famous Paintings of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and Records on Painting Yuntai Mountain. He proposed several theories of painting, such as “inspirational creation based on associative thought” and “expressing spirit through form,” which had a profound influence on later generations of Chinese painters.

Spring Outing of the Court Ladies Series: The Royal Collection of Imperial China

Zhang Xuan | Tang Dynasty (618–907)

Light color on silk; length 52 com, width 141 cm

Depicting a scene from the Tianbao period, this image shows the Tang Emperor Xuanzong’s favored concubine Yang Yuhuan’s sister, Lady of Guo State, and her attendants on a spring outing. The people and horses have little momentum, and it seems they are riding slowly. The details are realistic, and the brushstrokes are impressive. The horses’ liveries and saddles and the people’s clothes are all typical fashions of the golden age of the Tang Dynasty, depicting the life of leisure enjoyed by upper class women of that time.

ABOUT THE PAINTER

Zhang Xuan, born in Jingzhao (in present day Xi’an, Shaanxi Province), was a Tang Dynasty painter. During the Kaiyuan reign, he was appointed painter of the national archives. Known for his noble ladies, palace horses, and gardens of officials, he is usually mentioned alongside another painter of noble ladies, Zhou Fang. Dozens of works by Zhang Xuan are recorded in Tang and Song histories, but none are currently extant. The two most important copies of Zhang’s work that have been handed down were said to have been drawn by the Song Dynasty Emperor Huizong.

“Zhang Xuan excels at figure painting. Best of all are his paintings of noble boys’ and girls’ dwellings, like a path of flowers and bamboo pavilions, all with beautiful and ingenious embellishments.” —Xuanhe Painting Catalogue

“He was the best of his time at painting children, pommel horses, parclose screens, gardens of officials, official court ladies, and famous people of the time.” —Zhu Jingxuan

Zhou Fang | Tang Dynasty (618–907)

Ink and color on silk; length 46 cm, width 180 cm

This painting depicts court ladies in a quiet and spacious garden, living a playful, extravagant life. It is a magnificent Tang Dynasty Palace scroll painting. The women’s full and round forms are decked out in a variety of costumes, with their hair in buns perched high on their heads, adorned with fresh flowers. Their movements are leisurely. They flap butterflies, play with dogs, admire cranes, or simply sit idly. Their maids follow them with fans.

ABOUT THE PAINTER

Zhou Fang, also known by the courtesy name Zhong Lang, lived in Jingxuan, Jingzhao (present day Xi’an, Shaanxi Province). He was a painter of the Tang Dynasty. Born into a noble family, he served as an offical in Yuezhou and later Xuanzhou. He was good at copying and calligraphy. He painted figures and images of the Buddha, but was especially skilled at painting noble women. His figures were full-bodied and dignified, employing colors that were soft and beautiful. His painting was particularly favored by the court’s scholar-bureaucrats. His portrait paintings were known for their divine appearance, and he painted excellent horses, birds, animals, and plants.

“The clothing is painted with power and concision, and the colors used are soft and beautiful. The Bodhisattvas appear dignified and rigorous, and the creation of the water moon Goddess of Mercy is wonderful.” —Zhang Yanyuan

“His images of the Buddha, celestial beings, figures, and beautiful ladies are all divine masterpieces.” —Zhang Huaiguan

Cold Crow Series: The Royal Collection of Imperial China

Li Cheng | Northern Song Dynasty (960–1127)

Ink and light color on silk; length 27cm, width 113 cm

This painting depicts the sights and sounds of flocks of crows gathering at the border of a wall and in a forest after a winter snow. The tree trunks are painted with extremely light ink, and the branches are thin and expansive, with luxuriant needles on the treetops. The fine branches have the appearance of crab claws. It is a vast, bleak scene.

ABOUT THE PAINTER

Li Cheng (919–967) was a painter of the Five Dynasties and early Song period. Known by the alias Xian Xi, he came from Chang’an (present day Xi’an, Shaanxi). His ancestral lineage was of the Tang Dynasty imperial family. During the Five Dynasties period, his grandfather fled to Yingqiu in Shandong Province to avoid political clashes, and thereafter became known as Li Yingqiu. Li Cheng excelled at painting landscapes, having learned from Jing Hao and Guan Tong, then later developing his own style. Mi Fu describes his “light ink like misty dreams and stones like moving clouds,” which has since become the trademark of his work.

“Deep forest snow and chilly air pressing, a flock of crows gather, circling in a state of hunger and mourning.” —Zhao Mengfu

“Li Cheng is able to create rich expressions with diluted ink. The landscapes he paints come to life even though he’s stingy with his ink, treating it like gold. His level, distant winter forest landscape is unprecedented, with its refined air and clear and open misty woods, although it cannot surpass the work of Wang Wei and Li Sixun. He ranks first among both ancient and modern landscape painters.” —Huang Binhong

Remote View of Streams and Hills Series: The Royal Collection of Imperial China

Xia Gui | Southern Song Dynasty (1127–1279)

Ink and wash on paper; length 46.5 cm, width 889 cm

This hand scroll depicts scenes along the riverbanks on a sunny day, ranging from rising peaks to steep cliffs, from luxuriant forests to pavilions, from bridges to villages, and from thatched canopies to fishing boats and setting sails, creating a vivid impression through the application of simple lines and strokes.

Xia Gui was a master of using varying ink tones, ranging from the deepest blacks to subtle, seemingly evanescent washes of pale gray. His use of ink also presents a changing texture in his paintings that varies from a watery feel to a parched look. Xia had excellent skills in controlling water and ink. He was capable of freely changing between using dry ink to breaking washed ink, or using washed to break the dry. He used inks of varying shades with great flexibility, creating contrasts in the painting. The transition between thick, solid ink and thin, soft ink is flexible and constantly changing. The spacious composition of this painting, alongside the use of simple brushwork and elegant washed inks, creates beautiful scene of lakes and mountains and gives the impression of a spacious, peaceful landscape.

ABOUT THE PAINTER

Xia Gui, also known by the alias Yuyu, was born in Lin’an, Qiantang (present day Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province). An artist of the Southern Song Dynasty, he once served as an academy painter, granted the position of craftsman serving the royal family and also a position at the painting academy. He is known as one of the Four Great Painters of the Southern Song Dynasty, alongside Li Tang, Liu Songnian, and Ma Yuan.

Wenji Returning to Han Series: The Royal Collection of Imperial China

Qiu Ying | Ming Dynasty (1368–1644)

Ink and color on silk; length 28 cm, width 467.5 cm

This painting depicts the story of Wenji, a talented lady of the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The story has been told in novels, poems, and plays, and also adapted to musical scores for various instruments. The story and its adaptations are widespread. Several paintings depicting the scene of Wenji returning to Han are inscribed with the name Qiu Shifu, but the one presented here is the liveliest and most colorful.

In this scroll, the honor guard, carriage, and horses are vividly portrayed without the aid of rulers. Even without drawing aids, Qiu was able to draw straight, powerful lines. For years, his skill was unequalled.

The buildings and pavilions in the landscape are vividly rendered in a vigorous, powerful style, as if they stand immediately before the viewer. The painting is so lifelike it is as if the painter is inviting the viewer to relive the story told on the scroll. Many have commented that Qiu Ying is rightfully called “the master painter of his time, with consummate skills.”

ABOUT THE PAINTER

Qiu Ying (c. 1501–1551), also known by the aliases Shifu and Shizhou, excelled in the portrayal of figures, initiating the “Qiu Style” of figure paintings of ladies. He was also skilled in coloring, and excelled both in ink and wash and line drawing techniques for fine figure painting. Qiu Ying was able to use different skills to present different subjects, including smooth, gentle, elegant brushstrokes, or others that were vigorous, powerful, and dashing. Occasionally, Qiu turned his hand to bird and flower paintings, which are bright and well-designed. In painting mountain landscapes, Qiu further promoted the style of “hiding traces of people in the mountains,” bringing the technique to its peak. Because of his pluralistic style, Qiu was praised as an “all-round” master painter. He is known as one of the Four Great Handscroll  472 × 22 cm  English Master Painters of the Ming Dynasty, alongside Shen Zhou, Wen $459.95 Zhengming, and Tang Yin. ISBN: 978-1-4878-0148-9

Le sous-titrage du cinéma français en Chine enjeux, traduction du sens, contraintes Wang Liyun

Cet ouvrage (intitulé Le sous-titrage du cinéma français en Chine enjeux, traduction du sens, contraintes) vise à cerner les enjeux, les contraintes et les normes qui régissent le sous-titrage cinématographique en tant qu’opération traduisante. Cette recherche se fonde sur un corpus constitué de films français, dont des comédies particulièrement, qui ont été tout récemment distribués dans les salles chinoises. N’étant qu’une introduction à d’autres travaux de recherche sur le sous-titrage, qui reste jusque-là plutôt une activité empirique, cette étude cherche à susciter plus d’intérêts de la part de la communauté scientifique, qui pourrait sortir de la marginalisation cet immense champ transdisciplinaire.

A Study of Mohist Logic Yang Wujin

This book examines the background and significance of the historical and cultural origins of Mohist logic, fully affirming the original classical text, the interpretation of its philosophical content and the production of translations.

The question of language level is mainly embodied in the non-formal logic, or critical thinking, that is currently emerging in the West. At the meta-theoretical level, it examines theories and principles of formal logic.

Dynamics of Psychological Goals A Self-organization Theory of Motivation and Personality Zhang Kai

Although psychologists have developed many theories to understand human psychology, their underlying logic is still problematic and deviates from reality, leading to limited ability to explain and predict human behavior. This book builds a self- organization model of human psychology and elaborates its core concept, psychological goals, as the key to understand human motivation and personality. Based on this psychological model, it puts forward a set of theories including the self-organizing goal theory of motivation, structural goal change as a perspective on emotion, the goal-system theory of personality, and the “Goal-Driven People” hypothesis. Research shows that this new theoretical system enjoys an apparent advantage over scattered small-scale theories in interpreting and predicting human motivation, emotions, personalities, human nature, cognition, suicide, and other psychological phenomena.

ABOUT THE SERIES

The Chinese New Year (or Spring Festival or Lunar New Year) is the most important festival in China and in Chinese communities around the world. It’s a time to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new by observing ancient and modern traditions, eating special foods, attending public events like temple fairs, cleaning family homes and buying new clothes. But most importantly, it’s a time for families to get together, especially with those family members who may be coming from far away. This book follows two youngsters from abroad as they go to visit their grandparents in Beijing, with its special neighborhoods called hutongs. We’ll experience along with the children those rituals like giving and receiving hongbao (red envelopes with money), eating a special kind of dumpling, setting off firecrackers, and listening to the stories behind the traditions. It’s a fun way to teach children about the excitement of the Chinese Spring Festival!
