  • The Reception and Translation of Classical Chinese Poetry in English
    NCUE Journal of Humanities Vol. 6, pp. 47-64 September, 2012 The Reception and Translation of Classical Chinese Poetry in English Chia-hui Liao∗ Abstract Translation and reception are inseparable. Translation helps disseminate foreign literature in the target system. An evident example is Ezra Pound’s translation based on the 8th-century Chinese poet Li Bo’s “The River-Merchant’s Wife,” which has been anthologised in Anglophone literature. Through a diachronic survey of the translation of classical Chinese poetry in English, the current paper places emphasis on the interaction between the translation and the target socio-cultural context. It attempts to stress that translation occurs in a context—a translated work is not autonomous and isolated from the literary, cultural, social, and political activities of the receiving end. Keywords: poetry translation, context, reception, target system, publishing phenomenon ∗ Adjunct Lecturer, Department of English, National Changhua University of Education.

Course Description This interdisciplinary Quest 1 course prompts students to reconsider the nature of identities, both personal and social, as well as personhood itself, through a rigorous examination of traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese texts. Much like the Bible or the US Constitution in America, these historical works inform mainstream cultural identity and practice in contemporary East Asia, despite their ancient provenance. Direct engagement with these primary sources will allow students to approach identity from a non-liberal perspective that does not revolve around ideas of inherent rights, freedoms, and liberties, and expose them to alternative ideas about the definition of humanity, the construction of society, and the so- called natural order. As a result, students will be able to critically reflect, through comparison, on the processes that create and maintain identities in our contemporary society, in the contemporary Asian present, and in the premodern Asian past.

  • Wang Wei (701–61) Is One of a Very Small Group of Chinese Poets Whose Fame Can Be Said to Be Truly International
    Introduction Wang Wei (701–61) is one of a very small group of Chinese poets whose fame can be said to be truly international. Along with Li Bo 李白 (701–62), Du Fu杜甫 (713–70), and Tao Qian陶潛 (365–427), he defines what Chinese poetry essentially is to readers around the world. Moreover, his verse has come to epitomize in global terms (for better or ill) what a Chinese representation of nature looks like – often a reclusive gentleman sitting in a thatched hut nestled in a mountain nook or a pine grove, playing his zither, reading his books, and observ- ing the beauties of the season pass before him. For many, his poems seem precise visualizations of traditional Chinese landscape painting. No wonder, then, that critics within China and without are quick to connect his verse to his paintings (though few if any of his artworks survive in anything other than copies). And rarely do people fail to quote the prominent literatus Su Shi’s蘇軾 (1037–1101) comment on him: “When you savor a poem by Wang Wei, there is a painting within; and when you behold a painting by Wang Wei, there is a poem with- in.”1 Yet there is a good bit more to Wang Wei than this picturesque quality, even if most selections of his verse tend to downplay his consid- erable poetic range. This complete translation should help to broaden our vision of who Wang Wei was exactly, and the scope of his talents. Active during the so-called “High Tang” (roughly the reign of Emperor Xuanzong玄宗, 712–756), Wang Wei helped define the art of poetry during its cultural high water mark, along with his great contemporaries Li Bo and Du Fu.

Through historical allusions in his poetry, Qu communicated with friends about the ethical dilemmas that he faced under occupation, and reflected upon the choices that literati in earlier eras had made when facing dynastic transitions and foreign conquest. Qu’s ‘esoteric writing’ during the occupation contained a complex set of historical allusions which referenced various points in the Chinese past. Since Qu served in the collabo- rationist north China regime, he has often been perceived as a ‘traitor’ or a ‘collabo- rator’. Through this in-depth analysis of his literary works, however, this paper seeks to reveal the special exegetical strategies adopted by literati such as Qu under occupa- tion. Keywords Qu Xuanying – occupation – collaboration, Beiping (Beijing) – literati – poetry 1 Introduction: Living with ‘the Enemy’ and Esoteric Writing In July 1937, the ancient city of Beiping (now Beijing) was filled with a highly tense atmosphere—like a pressure cooker that was about to burst. People were aware that a historical turning point was approaching, but they could not pre- dict what would happen next. An undeclared Sino-Japanese war was about to break out.

    3rd International Conference on Education, Management and Computing Technology (ICEMCT 2016) On the Evolution of Chinese Poetic Painting in Successive Dynasties Wu Hao College of Humanities, Bohai University, Jinzhou, 121013, China [email protected] Key words: poetic painting; ancient; successive dynasties; evolution Abstract: As an artistic form that combined the poetry with painting, poetic painting originated in the Han Dynasty. Before the Tang Dynasty the poetry was mainly written on the Book of Odes and the Luoshen Appraisal. The Tang Dynasty, closer integration of poetry and painting, was an important period of giving birth to poetic painting. In the Song Dynasty poetic painting developed into great maturity. On one hand, the concept of blending poetry with painting was established that could be transformed into each other; on the other hand, the application of poetry into painting became a conscious behaviour of artists. The painter, Zhao Mengtiao, Ni Zan and others in the Yuan Dynasty truly led realistic painting into freehand brushwork, expressing the ideal of literati in their mind. The Ming and Qing Dynasties were the flourishing period of poetic painting. The poetic painting of the Ming Dynasty was more flexible and conscious but formal in selecting poems. Poetic painting in the Qing Dynasty basically followed the style of the Ming Dynasty, and paid more attention to the importance and inheritance of the art experience of former generation. Introduction Poetic painting was an artistic form that combined the poetry with painting. Pound once remarked that there was a common connection and some artistic qualities between different artistic styles. It was based on the common connection and qualities that the chorus between poetry and painting left the countless moving stories.

It starts with the etymological study of the term ‘friend,’ and the value attached to it, followed by an examination of the concept of friendship in a broader socio-historical context—in particular the Confucian role ethics and the Chinese literati tradition; finally it briefly reflects on the impact of this concept on Chinese society today. In traditional Chinese ethics, an individual is never defined by him-/herself, but by his/her various roles in relation to others around him/her. An etymological investiga- tion explains why the relationship between friends was included in the ‘five cardinal human relationships.’ These roles and relations not only constitute one’s initial condi- tions, but also operate within the grand matrix of heaven-earth-human. Examples of friendship and its various types in classical philosophical and literary texts are ana- lyzed to illustrate the significance of friendship as part of the narratives and moral particularities of Chinese people as well as its long-lasting impact. Introduction “A truly virtuous man would come to the aid of the most distant stranger as quickly as to his own friend,” said Montesquieu; “If men were perfectly virtuous, they wouldn’t have friends.”1 This noble sentiment of universal con- cern articulated by the Enlightenment philosopher is not absent from tra- ditional Chinese ethics: Mozi (ca.
