LONDON: TRÜBNER & CO., 57 & 59, LUDGATE HILL 1875 [All Rights reserved.] JOHN CHILDS AND SON, PRINTERS PLL v6.0 (generated September, 2011) 5 http://oll.libertyfund.org/title/2269 Online Library of Liberty: The Chinese Classics: Vol. 2 The Life and Teachings of Mencius [Back to Table of Contents] PREFACE. When the author, in 1867, published “The Life and Teachings of Confucius,” he intimated that it would be followed by the present volume, “as soon as the publisher should feel authorized by public encouragement to go forward with the undertaking.” It was not long till the publisher gave him notice that he was ready to go to press with an edition of Mencius, which might therefore have appeared in 1868. By that time, however, the author was occupied with the fourth and fifth volumes of his larger Work, containing the ancient poetry of China, and the history of the feudal kingdom of Chow from bc 721 to 480; and it was not till towards the end of 1872 that the publication of the fifth volume was completed. The author then began to take Mencius in hand, and to give the translation and notes in the second volume of his larger Work a careful revision. That was published in 1861, and, as a result of his studies during the intervening years, he saw that some improvement might be effected in his earlier labours. He therefore wrote out afresh the translation of the seven Books of Mencius, and the notes also with a special view to their suitability to an edition of the Chinese philosopher for general readers. The volume thus prepared is now submitted to the Public. In the preface to the former volume the author referred to a re-publication of his translation of the Chinese Works contained in it in the United States, and mentioned that the appearance of that re-publication was a principal reason why his publisher had asked him to issue a popular edition of the Chinese Classics in his own name. The title-page of the volume, moreover, says expressly that it was “reproduced for general readers from the author’s Work, containing the original Text, &c.” If Dr John Heinrich Plath of Münich had taken the trouble to read the preface or even the title- page, he would hardly have done the injustice to the author which appears in his “Confucius und Seiner Schüler Leben und Lehren.” There, in his “Leben des Confucius, 1,” on p. 15, he has said that “The Life and Teachings of Confucius is a delusion practised on the Public, being a mere reprint of the author’s Translations in his Chinese Classics, without the Chinese Text, and with his short Life of Confucius.” The author cannot suppose that Dr Plath does not understand plain English sufficiently well to have saved him from such a misrepresentation. He did not practise any delusion on the Public, and it ought not to have been even insinuated that he had been guilty of such a thing. London, 1st March, 1874.

CHAPTER I. OF THE WORKS OF MENCIUS. SECTION I. THEIR RECOGNITION UNDER THE HAN DYNASTY, AND BEFORE IT. 1.In the third of the catalogues of Lew Hin,1 containing a list of the Works of Scholars which had been collected up to his time (about ad 1), and in the first subdivision, devoted to authors of the classical or orthodox School, we have the entry—“The Works of Mencius, in eleven Books.” At that date, therefore, Mencius’ writings were known and registered as a part of the literature of China. 2. A hundred years before Hin, we have the testimony of the historian Sze-ma Ts‘?en. In the seventy-fourth Book of his “Historical Records,” there is a brief memoir of Mencius, where he says that the philosopher, having withdrawn into private life, “with his disciples, Wan Chang and others, prefaced the She and the Shoo, unfolded the views of Confucius, and made ‘The Works of Mencius, in seven Books.’ ” The discrepancy that appears between these testimonies, in regard to the number of the Books which went by the common name of Mencius, will be considered in the sequel. In the mean while it is shown that the writings of Mencius were recognized by scholars a hundred years before the Christian era, which takes us back to little more than a century and a half from the date assigned to his death. 3. Among writers of the Han dynasty earlier than Sze-ma Ts‘ëen, there were Han Ying, and Tung Chung-shoo, contemporaries, in the reigns of the emperors Wăn, King, and Woo, (bc 178—86). Portions of their Works remain, and in them are found quotations from Mencius. Later than these there were Yang Heung (bc 53—ad 18), who wrote a commentary on Mencius, which was existing under the Sung dynasty, and Wang Ch‘ung (died about ad 100), who left a chapter of animadversions on our philosopher, which still exists.

Through an analysis of official documentation and multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork, this paper aims to introduce the current revitalization of ancient Confucian schools and rites, and the boom in children’s decorum camps and other Confucian-related educational programs on the Korean peninsula. Examining some of the schedules and curriculums, the textbooks studied, modernized rituals, and the agendas of the Ministry of Culture, the Confucian Association, and the New Religious Movement that lead the reforms, I deliberate upon possible reasons for this trend taking place at this particular time, contemplate the attempts to rebrand Confucianism as culture for better marketing, and point out some of the curious tensions and ironies this resurgence entails.

The sutra narrates that Vimalakirti, an enlightened layman, once made it appear as if he were sick so that he could demonstrate the Law of Mahayana Buddhism to various figures coming to inquire about his illness. This dissertation studies representations of The Vimalakirti Sutra in Chinese painting from the fourth to the nineteenth centuries to explore how visualizations of the same text could vary in different periods of time in light of specific artistic, social and religious contexts. In this project, about forty artists who have been recorded representing the sutra in traditional Chinese art criticism and catalogues are identified and discussed in a single study for the first time. A parallel study of recorded paintings and some extant ones of the same period includes six aspects: text content represented, mode of representation, iconography, geographical location, format, and identity of the painter. This systematic examination reveals that two main representational modes have formed in the Six Dynasties period (220-589): depictions of the Great Layman as a single image created by Gu Kaizhi, and narrative illustrations of the sutra initiated by Yuan Qian and his teacher Lu Tanwei.

    Some Reflections on the Study of “East Asian Confucianisms”: Its Rationale and Its Problematiques

    Some Reflections on the Study of “East Asian Confucianisms”: Its Rationale and Its Problematiques Chun-chieh Huang Distinguished Professor of History National Taiwan University Research Fellow, Academia Sinica [Abstract] The purpose of this article is not to repeat the cliché that Confucianism is the sine qua non in East Asian civilization, but that a paradigm of “East Asian Confucianisms” can open up a brand new vista for the study of Confucian traditions in East Asia. What I am trying to argue in the essay is that we have to get out of the grotto of “national learning,” which takes state-centrism as the basis of Confucianism. Instead, we have to consider the development of Confucianism in a broader East Asian perspective. By contextualizing Confucianism in East Asian cultures and societies, we find ourselves in a better position to appreciate the diversity and variety of the problematiques of East Asian Confucian traditions. Concretely, this essay offers an explanation of how legitimate studying “East Asian Confucianisms” is, and how promising it is as new research. Section One explains Tsuda Sôkichi’s (津田左右吉, 1873-1961) doubts on the validity of the notion of “East Asian Civilization.” Section Two confirms “East Asian Confucianisms” as a valid new field of study, with rich and distinct “unity in diversity.” Section Three, on “The Problematique,” goes on to explain that seeing Confucianism in the wide perspective of East Asia opens up a novel vista for future investigation with new questions hitherto unknown. Section Four summarizes

    Volum e 26 (2019-2020), Article 2 http://chinajapan.org/articles/26/2 Benjamin Wai-ming Ng “The Yijing and Meiji Ideology: Nemoto Michiaki’s Political Interpretation of the Yijing” Sino-Japanese Studies 26 (2019-2020), article 2. Abstract: Following the rise of the tennōsei (emperor-centered system) ideology in late Meiji Japan, many Japanese Confucian scholars cited Chinese classics to support the state ideology. The Yijing (Classic of Changes), like many other forms of learning, was also absorbed into the tennōsei discourse. Nemoto Michiaki (1822-1906) was a renowned Yijing scholar who promoted the tennōsei ideology in his Shūeki shōgi bensei (Correct Meanings in the Images of the Zhouyi, 1901). He regarded the Yijing as a book to advocate unbroken imperial succession based on absolute loyalty, believing that the sages wrote the Yijing to warn the people against revolution. His interpretation of the Yijing had a strong impact in prewar Japan. This article is the first academic study of Nemoto Michiaki’s Yijing scholarship, and focuses on how he loosely interpreted the text and images to uphold Meiji state ideology, which would deepen our understanding of the flexibility of the Yijing that allowed it to survive and thrive in political environments of Meiji Japan. The Yijing and Meiji Ideology: Nemoto Michiaki’s Political Interpretation of the Yijing Benjamin Wai-ming Ng Introduction in order to revive Confucianism and regain their influence in national politics and the intellectual world.1 Yijing (Classic of Changes) studies, like other schools of thought and religion, was used as an intellectual tool to support the state ideology.2 It was no coincidence that both Nemoto Michiaki 根本通明 (also Tsūmei, 1822-1906) and Takashima Kaemon ⾼島嘉右衛門 (1832-1914), two leading Meiji Yijing scholars, supported the Meiji government through their reading of the text or oracles.
  • Confucius' Hero's Journey

    Confucius' Hero's Journey

    Confucius’ Hero’s Journey Meili (May Lee 李梅) Pinto, PhD (to be published in Existential Psychology East-West, Vol. 2 (2017), ed. Louis Hoffman et al., University of the Rockies Press, Colorado Springs, CO Through depth psychology, Confucius' existential journey can be seen as not only a hero's journey, but also as the hero's realization reenacted, upon return, for the benefit of humankind. Whereas there are few fantastical tales we can associate with his adventures, his journey is marked with stages, as reported in his brief bio (Analects 2:04), that correspond with the essence of the various stops made by mythological heroes worldwide. The great difference between Confucius and the others is his recognition that life in the world as is is the story of the journey of psyche and that the realignment of the ways of psyche can assure that not only can the hero attune to the prize of the journey, but that the collective as a whole can attune itself, with marked benefits for society as a whole. I. THE MONOMYTH: THE HERO IN A THOUSAND GUISES Until depth psychology, myths were seen as stories, but so enchanting, meaningful and enduring as to inspire abundantly rich culture, such as music, art and literature, and to root peoples in shared ways of speculating on the mysteries of the universe and bond them in communities. From among these tales, none is more powerful than the theme of the hero's journey. For one of the central questions C.G. Jung pursued, “[W]as there something akin to the individuation process to be found in all cultures?” (Red Book, p.
