Book excerpt: On the mountainous border of China and Tibet in 1708, a detective must learn what a killer already knows: that empires rise and fall on the strength of the stories they tell. Li Du was an imperial librarian. Now he is an exile. Arriving in Dayan, the last Chinese town before the Tibetan border, he is surprised to find it teeming with travelers, soldiers, and merchants. All have come for a spectacle unprecedented in this remote province: an eclipse of the sun commanded by the Emperor himself. When a Jesuit astronomer is found murdered in the home of the local magistrate, blame is hastily placed on Tibetan bandits. But Li Du suspects this was no random killing. Everyone has secrets: the ambitious magistrate, the powerful consort, the bitter servant, the irreproachable secretary, the East India Company merchant, the nervous missionary, and the traveling storyteller who can't keep his own story straight. Beyond the sloping roofs and festival banners, Li Du can see the mountain pass that will take him out of China forever. He must choose whether to leave, and embrace his exile, or to stay, and investigate a murder that the town of Dayan seems all too willing to forget.

Book Synopsis The Soul of China by : Richard Wilhelm
Download or read book The Soul of China written by Richard Wilhelm and published by . This book was released on 1928 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Wilhelm, born in Germany, was ordained as a protestant minister in 1895 and came to Tsingtao [Qingdao] in 1899 when it had barely begun its existence as a German colony. He remained 25 years, through the Boxer Rebellion, the period of imperial reform, and the republican revolution. During World War I, when Japan besieged and later occupied Tsingtao, he remained there, in charge of Red Cross work. He came as a missionary, learned Chinese, and inquired deeply into China's spiritual traditions. His German translation of the I Ching, undertaken jointly with the Confucian scholar Lao Nai-hsuan, took a decade to complete. The following year, 1924, he returned to Germany and became Professor of Chinese Studies at the University of Frankfurt. Here he was recognized as an eminent sinologist and theologian. His translations of the I Ching and of The Secret of the Golden Flower won the admiration of psychologist Carl Jung. This volume, published a few years after his return to Germany, combines several genres, including memoir and travelogue, political and intellectual history, cultural description, and insightful essays. Among the first kind are his diaries of pilgrimage to Confucius' birthplace, to the sacred mountain T'ai-shan, and to the Buddhist caves of Yunkang, as well as his guides to the gardens of Hangchow and Soochow and to the streets of Peking. In the second category is a history of China's unhappy contact and conflict with the west, her attempts to reform, the revolution of 1911 and the subsequent years of warlords. Cultural description includes a chapter on annual festivals and the rites of birth, marriage, and death; and a description of social life, ranging from banquet etiquette to the theater and the teahouse. Essays include a detailed consideration of Protestant missions in China, how unscrupulous Chinese might use church membership as a lever for political favor from local authorities, how thoughtless Westerners would associate Christian doctrine with "superior" Western institutions, material civilization, etc., and how a native Chinese church nevertheless manages to emerge. An essay on occultism explores Chinese views of the spirit world."--Donor summary

Book Synopsis Jade Mountains and Cinnabar Pools by : James M. Hargett
Download or read book Jade Mountains and Cinnabar Pools written by James M. Hargett and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2018-12-18 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First-hand accounts of travel provide windows into places unknown to the reader, or new ways of seeing familiar places. In Jade Mountains and Cinnabar Pools, the first book-length treatment in English of Chinese travel literature (youji), James M. Hargett identifies and examines core works in the genre, from the Six Dynasties period (220–581), when its essential characteristics emerged, to its florescence in the late Ming dynasty (1368–1644). He traces the dynamic process through which the genre, most of which was written by scholars and officials, developed, and shows that key features include a journey toward an identifiable place; essay or diary format; description of places, phenomena, and conditions, accompanied by authorial observations, comments, and even personal feelings; inclusion of sensory details; and narration of movement through space and time. Travel literature’s inclusion of a variety of writing styles and purposes has made it hard to delineate. Hargett finds, however, that classic pieces of Chinese travel literature reveal much about the author, his values, and his view of the world, which in turn tells us about the author’s society, making travel literature a rich source of historical information.

With even a sliver of the ancient dragon's all-powerful scroll, Qibli could rewrite history the right way: end war forever; make every dragon happy; perhaps even cast a very small spell so that everyone would like him . . .Instead, as Darkstalker's dangerous influence spreads across Pyrrhia, entrancing or killing every dragon in the seven tribes, Qibli can only grasp the small animus objects he's borrowed from Turtle. With some clever thinking, Qibli's talons finally hold the power to make a difference. But prophecies are not easy to rewrite. Can Qibli be the magical force Pyrrhia needs, or will he be the one to bring Jade Mountain -- and his family, his friends, his whole world -- crashing down?
