Different Worlds of Discourse: Transformations of Gender and Genre in Late Qing and Republican China
Servants of the Dynasty: Palace Women in World History
Passionate Women: Female Suicide in Late Imperial China-Introduction
Now Cease Painting Eyebrows, Don a Scholar's Cap and Pin”: The Frustrated Ambition of Wang Yun, Gentry Woman Poet and Dramatist
On Charles Hucker: I never had a course with Professor Hucker, and he declined to serve on my dissertation committee. When I told him my plans fora dissertation on Wu Jingzi and Rulin waishi, he frowned and remarked, “I've never been very interested in people like Wu Jingzi. I doubt that I could offer you much help.” He clearly had little sympathy for a drop-out satirist as opposed to the harried bureaucrats who daily grappled with the challenge …

Heritage of China: Contemporary Perspectives on Chinese Civilization
Science and Medicine in Chinese History
This chapter discusses Chinese Taoism and Buddhism that contrast very sharply with the Judeo-Christian tradition. It argues that it was largely their continued possession of religious writings that gave them coherence as traditions over space and time and that this textual legacy makes them uniquely approachable to researchers from outside the Chinese cultural world. Despite its borrowings from Buddhism, Taoism had very ancient roots in China, an…
Women, Marriage, and the Family in Chinese History
The Confucian Tradition in Chinese History
This chapter looks at how certain influential early Chinese and Greek political writers treated the problem of balancing the rule of man with the rule of law. The laws of the earliest-known rulers, the sage kings, would for later generations be elevated to the status of Law. It is shown that the Ch'in state assumed the right to interfere in the most intimate affairs of its subjects' lives and that it was concerned above all with protecting human …
Heritage of China: Contemporary Perspectives on Chinese Civilization
The thirteen essays in this volume, all by experts in the field of Chinese studies, reflect the diversity of approaches scholars follow in the study of China's past. Together they reveal the depth and vitality of Chinese civilization and demonstrate how an understanding of traditional China can enrich and broaden our own contemporary worldview.
Early Civilization in China: Reflections on How It Became Chinese
This chapter discusses the Western perceptions of China from the late sixteenth century to the present. To sixteenth-century Westerners, China was large, tough, and well-ordered. They never ceased to wonder at the size of the country and the diversity of its products. Western imperialism and colonization would have a positive role in the Chinese case as they battered down the barriers of isolation that made China a holdout against the spread of c…
The Distinctive Art of Chinese Fiction
This chapter presents a discussion on Chinese poetry. The Chinese had a rich vocabulary for writing poetry. Chinese poetry became a way to create community, both speaking to others in the present and creating a living community across time. The Book of Songs was the beginning of Chinese poetry, and it was a beginning in lyric rather than in epic and drama. The poetry of the T'ang dynasty set the model for poetry in traditional China for the next …

The May fourth movement
ExtractThe May Fourth (1919) Movement, by all accounts, is one of the watershed marks in modern Chinese history. Within the space of a few years, Chinese nationalism burst upon the scene with unprecedented force and rapidity, transforming the Chinese political landscape for the rest of the twentieth century. This surge of nationalism was accompanied by iconoclastic rejection of nearly all aspects of traditional Chinese culture. This “totalistic i…
Individual and society in ancient China: Essays on four Chinese Philosophers, by Vitaly A. Rubin
These four essays on Confucius, Mo Zi, Shang Yang and Zhuang Zi were published as a book in the Soviet Union in 1970 by Vitaly A. Rubin, a dissident Russian Jewish intellectual who has only recently found sanctuary in Israel. As Steven I. Levine makes clear in his preface, Rubin's book is best understood not simply as an objective analysis of ancient Chinese philosophy, but rather as a personal commentary on the Soviet regime today. In fairness t…
