Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From simple pieces decorated with a square of gilded foil, to beautiful New Year prints, and detailed models of houses, ships, and cars, paper offerings today take many forms. This book surveys the breadth of Chinese ceremonial paper products, exploring their creation, distribution, and characteristics. The author describes the traditional process of paper-making, as well as contemporary uses of common papers found on the Mainland and in Chinese communities worldwide. Once criticized as remnants of a superstitious past, paper charms now play a renewed role in Chinese life, providing visible evidence of a continuity of belief across the centuries. For the reader interested in paper and paper-making, as well as the student of Chinese religion and spirituality, this book reveals the beauty of these fascinating artefacts of living folk art.

Download or read book The Garland Handbook of Southeast Asian Music written by Terry E. Miller and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Garland Handbook of Southeast Asian Music is comprised of essays from The Garland Encyclopedia of World Music: Volume 4, Southeast Asia (1998). Largely revised and updated, the essays offer detailed, regional studies of the different musical cultures of Southeast Asia and examine the ways in which music helps to define the identity of this particular area. Part one provides an in-depth introduction to the area of Southeast Asia and explores a series of issues and processes, such as colonialism, mass media, spirituality, and war. The articles in this section are important in gaining historical, political, and social perspective. Part two focuses on mainland Southeast Asia, with essays representing Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, Burma, Peninsular Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, and the minority peoples of mainland Southeast Asia. Part three focuses on island Southeast Asia, dividing the area into three sections: Indonesia, the Philippines, and Borneo. In addition to offering a detailed study of the music of each area, it also offers recent perspectives on the gamelan and theater traditions of Indonesia. Questions for Critical Thinking at the end of each major section guide and focus attention on what issues - musical and cultural - arise when one studies the music of Southeast Asia - issues that might not occur in the study of other musics of the world. An accompanying compact disc offers musical examples from Southeast Asia.

Download or read book Golden Dreams of Borneo written by Alex Ling and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-03-13 with total page 792 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dreams of Gold Dreams of Power These drove men and women to seek their fortune in Sarawak. They came from Britain to carve a future on virgin soil from China - to escape grinding poverty. They fought and traded, lived and died in the struggle to fulfil their dreams. Some lost their lives to bloodthirsty headhunters, or in the disease-ridden swamps and trackless jungles of the interior; some survived to make their fortune. Chinese, British, Malays rubbed shoulders with fearsome Sea Dayaks, and nomads in the hunter-gatherer stage of evolution. The Steam Age met the Stone Age in this exotic, untouched land. Cultures clashed in a multiracial society. Charles Brooke, enigmatic White Rajah of Sarawak, was a man of vision, a man with a mission to tame the natives first, then to protect them from exploitation. His dream was to take them gently towards modern civilisation, to bring them the rewards of self-development. He was paternalistic but loving, a truly benevolent despot. Dreams of Adventure Dreams of Romance Stephen Young, a young graduate, arrives in Sarawak in 1898. Seduced by its virgin beauty steaming jungle, majestic mountains and noble savages he stays. Erotic intrigue, passion, violence and warfare surround him. His goal is to survive these with his head and his heart intact.
