    Paper Reference: Zhou Zhongqing (2008). The Ancient Tangluo Road and Huayang Township. In: Collected Papers of the Symposium on the 13 Stone Gate Treasures, Hanzhong City Museum, Hanzhong, Shaanxi, Nov 18-20, 2008, p. 132-140. The Ancient Tangluo Road and Huayang Township Zhou Zhongqing Yangxian Cultural Museum, Yangxian, Hanzhong City, Shaanxi 1. [The Tangluo Road Network]1 In ancient times in China, communication between the Guanzhong (Wei Valley), the Han River Basin and the Shu and Ba regions (present day Sichuan and Chongqing) was by ancient roads. From west to east there were altogether four of them: Chencang Road, Baoye Road, Tangluo Road and the Ziwu Road. Of these four roads, the Tangluo Road was the quickest but also the most precipitous. The complete journey was 480 Li (about 200km) and it could be covered in 4 days. The southern entrance to the Tangluo Road was called “Tang”, as it was through the entrance to the valley of the Tang River to the west of Yangxian town, abbreviated to “Tang Valley”. The northern entrance was called “Luo” and was through the West Luo Ravine to the southwest of Zhouzhi. Because the road had a north-south orientation across the Qinling these north and south valleys provided its name -- the Tangluo Road. The Tangluo Road has also been called the Luo Ravine Road in its earliest written reference in the “Records of the Three Kingdoms”. In fact, as far back as the Qin and Han periods, this ancient road had already come into being. So why did a road that came into being so early only appear in writing so late? Since humans emerged, over a long period of time, ancient peoples developed civilisation, never ceasing to discover new things.

  • A PEDAGOGY of CULTURE BASED on CHINESE STORYTELLING TRADITIONS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement
    A PEDAGOGY OF CULTURE BASED ON CHINESE STORYTELLING TRADITIONS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Eric Todd Shepherd MA, East Asian Languages and Literatures The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Galal Walker, Advisor _______________________ Mark Bender Advisor Mari Noda Graduate Program in Dorothy Noyes East Asian Languages and Literatures Copyright by Eric Todd Shepherd 2007 ABSTRACT This dissertation is an historical ethnographic study of the Shandong kuaishu (山东快书) storytelling tradition and an ethnographic account of the folk pedagogy of Wu Yanguo, one professional practitioner of the tradition. At times, the intention is to record, describe and analyze the oral tradition of Shandong kuaishu, which has not been recorded in detail in English language scholarly literature. At other times, the purpose is to develop a pedagogical model informed by the experiences and transmission techniques of the community of study. The ultimate goal is to use the knowledge and experience gained in this study to advance our understanding of and ability to achieve advanced levels of Chinese language proficiency and cultural competence. Through a combination of the knowledge gained from written sources, participant observation, and first-hand performance of Shandong kuaishu, this dissertation shows that complex performances of segments of Chinese culture drawn from everyday life can be constructed through a regimen of performance based training. It is intended to serve as one training model that leads to the development of sophisticated cultural competence. ii Dedicated to Chih-Hsin Annie Tai iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Any dissertation is a collaborative effort.
