Competency-based education model
BACKGROUND: Competency-based frameworks have been widely adopted as the dominant approach to medical education. However, research investigating the impact of competency-based medical education (CBME) on infection prevention and control practitioners (IPCPs) remains limited. This study aims to explore the mode of continuing medical education (CME) and to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of CBME in the field of infection prevention and cont…
A comprehensive stability evaluation method integrating similarity analysis, numerical simulation, and theoretical analysis and its application in Cave 32, the North Grotto Temple, China
Constructing British Selfhood through Depictions of China
The Macartney Embassy, the first official British diplomatic mission to China, contributed to the visual record and understanding of China in Britain. The embassy artists were ambitious in their mission to deliver authentic visual knowledge of China to the British at the same time that they were subconsciously influenced by both the old chinoiserie tradition, and the nascent British Enlightenment thought process. In contrast to contemporary Brita…
Images of Chinese women in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century European exotic knowledge books
All the European missionaries, merchants, and travelers to China in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were men. In their books introducing Chinese knowledge, they created idealized images of modest and courteous Chinese women, and idealized them as models for European women to emulate. However, this scrutiny from a perspective of exotic otherness did not reflect the real lives and inner worlds of Chinese women but instead reflected Europea…
From God’s hand to the hand of the artisan
This article focuses on the mechanized worldview of eighteenth-century China as expressed in the multilayered, geometric, turned ivory spheres known as guigong qiu (magic or demon’s-work ball), a name which implies that the balls were not created by human hands. Although these turned ivory spheres in China have been associated exclusively with domestic craftsmanship, records from the eighteenth century show that a German lathe used for ivory carv…
The Influence of Daoist Astrology on the Chinese Visual Representation of Tejaprabhā Buddha
Tejaprabhā Buddha is the lord of the constellations and one of the most significant esoteric deities. Its image occurs in a number of Chinese visual presentations dating from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty. The cult of Tejaprabhā was also disseminated to Korea and Japan and spawned related local visual creations. Tejaprabhā Buddha and his followers do not belong to the core group of Buddhist deities but are instead connected to the Daoist d…
The Religious and Technological History of the Tang Dynasty Spherical Incense Burner
This article introduces and explores, for the first time in any Western language, the gilded-silver xiangnang 香囊 (spherical incense burner) from Famen Temple, one of the largest xiangnang incense burners found in the Tang dynasty. The spherical incense burner evolved from censers for bedclothes known as beizhong xianglu 被中香爐 (literally "perfume burner [to be placed] among the covers [of the bed], used as a warming device), which are chronicled as…
The Posture of Lalitāsana
The rubric of the presence of Buddhist sculpture in the absence of an actual deity represents an admirable aspect of Buddhist art, especially sculpture, where the best works have drawn on this paradox in an astounding fashion. An important element in the realization of this religious archetype is the Buddhist statues' sublime poses. This article demonstrates the Buddhist posture hierarchy, based on a case study of a Tang-Dynasty Chinese Buddhist …
Deciphering the Shi Jun Sarcophagus Using Sogdian Religious Beliefs, Tales, and Hymns
The discovery of the Northern Zhou (557-581AD) tomb of Shi Jun (494-579 CE) presents us with spectacular visual information about the Sogdians in medieval China, which was previously available to us only through written sources. The iconography-heavy sarcophagus in the tomb is an important vehicle for understanding the practices of religious (and everyday) life in the Sino-Sogdian community. The imagery on the Shi Jun sarcophagus reveals a mix of…
