Book excerpt: "At first, when I didn't speak the language, I would hangout in pool halls and practice counting balls in Chinese. Icouldn't hold a conversation but I knew how to play and Iknew how to smoke cigarettes. Later my Mandarin came and I could go to dinner with people or hit the karaoke clubs. Mr. Tian was a whiskey wholesaler and one of our first friends. His brother owned The Red East-a popular nightclub and karaoke house in Jishou where I got my first taste of provincial nightlife. I began to develop an idea for the kind of pictures I wanted to make, but I knew it wouldn't be possible in just one year. It was important that I avoid typical imagery-the Mao posters and military, the futuristic cityscapes-and remain true to an experience separate from national narrative. I wanted to make pictures that didn't necessarily read as China. Personal photographs. Private photographs." -Rian Dundon

Download or read book The Chu Silk Manuscripts from Zidanku, Changsha (Hunan Province) written by Li Ling and published by The Chinese University of Hong Kong Press. This book was released on 2020-03-15 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Silk Manuscripts from Zidanku, Changsha (Hunan), are the only preImperial Chinese manuscripts on silk found todate. Dating to the turn from the 4th to the 3rd centuries BC (Late Warring States period), they contain several short texts concerning basic cosmological concepts, arranged in a diagrammatic arrangement and surrounded by pictorial illustrations. As such, they constitute a unique source of information complementing and going beyond what is known from transmitted texts. This is the first in a twovolume monograph on the Zidanku manuscripts, reflecting almost four decades of research by Professor Li Ling of Peking University. While the philological study and translation of the manuscript texts is the subject of Volume Two, this first volume presents the archaeological context and history of transmission of the physical manuscripts. It records how they were taken from their original place of interment in the 1940s and taken to the United States in 1946; documents the early stages in the research on the finds from the Zidanku tomb and its reexcavation in the 1970s; and accounts for where the manuscripts were kept before becoming the property, respectively, of the Arthur M. Sackler Foundation, New York (Manuscript 1), and the Freer and Sackler Galleries, Smithsonian Institution (Manuscripts 2 and 3). Superseding previous efforts, this is the definitive account that will sets the record straight and establishes a new basis for future research on these uniquely important artifacts.

Book excerpt: The Beijing Olympics focused the world's eyes on China. But despite increased tourism and rampant foreign investment, the cultural distance between China and the West remains as vast as the oceans that separate them. The Middle Kingdom is still relatively unknown by Westerners. China is in fact made up of 33 distinct regions populated by 56 ethnic groups -- and photojournalist Tom Carter has visited them all. This little book is a visual tribute to the People's Republic of China, with an ardent emphasis on the People.

Book excerpt: Une référence inestimable pour tout amateur d'art, de culture ou d'histoire chinoise.

En plus de rendre hommage aux marchandises civiles « modestes » qui ont soutenu de manière si vitale le cadre d'une civilisation, le livre comprend également des informations sur la culture de la poterie de base, le contexte historique, la poésie, la calligraphie, l'ornementation et la décoration des articles en céramique.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Yale-China Association's long legacy of work in China places it among the premier American organizations engaged in international service. Founded in 1901, Yale-China built on a long tradition of Yale's graduates founding churches, schools, and colleges in far-flung places. In time, the organization evolved into a bicultural educational enterprise, reflecting a spirit of intellectual tolerance and openness that adapted itself to China's changing conditions and needs. From its earliest years at the close of the Qing dynasty through wars, revolutions, and the modern era of reform, Yale-China's history was interwoven with China's own turbulent journey to find its place in the modern world. At certain points in its history, Yale-China was ahead of its time; at others, the organization was overwhelmed by social and political forces beyond its control or comprehension. Yale-China's history thus provides intriguing insights into the vagaries and complexities of America's interaction with China in the twentieth century, as well as the profound ambivalence with which many Chinese viewed the United States--its representatives, educational models, and intentions toward China--in this period.

Download or read book The Monster That Is History written by David Der-Wei Wang and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2004-10-04 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In ancient China a monster called Taowu was known for both its vicious nature and its power to see the past and the future. Over the centuries Taowu underwent many incarnations until it became identifiable with history itself. Since the seventeenth century, fictive accounts of history have accommodated themselves to the monstrous nature of Taowu. Moving effortlessly across the entire twentieth-century literary landscape, David Der-wei Wang delineates the many meanings of Chinese violence and its literary manifestations. Taking into account the campaigns of violence and brutality that have rocked generations of Chinese—often in the name of enlightenment, rationality, and utopian plenitude—this book places its arguments along two related axes: history and representation, modernity and monstrosity. Wang considers modern Chinese history as a complex of geopolitical, ethnic, gendered, and personal articulations of bygone and ongoing events. His discussion ranges from the politics of decapitation to the poetics of suicide, and from the typology of hunger and starvation to the technology of crime and punishment.
