宗周政典的名實之轉 : 從《訓典》到《書》, Pei Zhao

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

傳世典籍中多見“古訓”、“大訓”、“訓典”，前人以其“神話多而史實少，與宋以來的評話體例相似”，爲後世“小説”之祖，核以實例，所論偏頗。通過梳理有限的早期記載，我們能夠發現，就其功能而論，宗周代代傳承的《訓典》（彙編），可謂最早的《書》類文獻；就其“實”而言，稱名逐漸被《書》、《書》的具體篇名和類名（《夏書》、《商書》、《周書》）所替代。换言之，《書》類文獻彙編形態的名與實發生過一次變化。由《訓典》而成了《書》。這一轉换，同《書》學授受形態由依重口耳向口耳與竹帛並行之轉换正相關。就《國語·周語上》所載從穆王到幽王的十數條推測，《書》從《訓典》系統中獨立出來當在厲王以後，最晚至宣幽之際已經存在。值得注意的是，《書》代替了《訓典》的主要功能後，因其制度慣性以及“訓”之國别屬性，諸國“修其《訓典》”的活動依舊存在。

“Ancient teachings,” “grand teachings,” and “instructional teachings” frequently appear in the extant classical texts. Previous scholars have noted their resemblance to the narrative style prevalent from the Song dynasty onward, often laden with myths and sparse in historical facts, dubbing them the precursor of later “novels.” Such interpretations, based mainly on specific examples, seem biased. Through a meticulous examination of early records, we discern that, in terms of their function, the “instructional teachings” (compilations) passed down through the Zhou dynasty can be deemed as the earliest “book” type documents. As for their tangible existence, these titles were gradually superseded …

程炎震生平及其校證《世説新語》的成績, Xinglu Zhou

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

程炎震是近代研究《世説新語》的重要學者，但是至今對他的生平知之甚少。本文從國家圖書館發掘出程炎震的詩集和好友寫的傳記，據此梳理程炎震的一生。程炎震的《世説新語》手批本保存在國家圖書館，通過對該手批本的研究，可知他廣采《世説》衆本和各種相關文獻作校勘，訂正文字，致力於考證年代，辨别事件虚實，有助于讀者貼切理解文意，有時還能發現劉孝標注具有“隱糾其謬”的用意。他的校證成果對近現代研究者産生了重要的影響。

This article explores Cheng’s life through his poetry and his biography authored by his friends, re-discovered in the National Library. Through studying Cheng’s annotations of A New Account of Tales of the World kept in the National Library, this article shows that Cheng consulted various versions of A New Account of Tales of the World and relevant documents for collation, correcting characters, dating events, and telling true stories from false tales. Cheng’s works should help readers understand the …

魏晋士人“樂喪”考論, Lierong Yang

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

《世説·任誕篇》載桓子野、袁山松、張湛等好挽歌，劉孝標注引《譙子法訓》，謂樂喪非古制，而孝標疑未能決。譙周之説是。《樂記》所謂“樂者樂也”，表現以安樂之聲爲正的雅樂觀念，在制度上與此相應的是凶禮不用樂，因此在正禮上不存在樂喪。春秋以降，正禮漸衰，樂喪作爲俗禮興於民間，在此推動下，至漢武朝定爲官禮，古制遂廢。與此同時，雅樂衰而新聲興，尚悲之風行於上下，雅樂觀念逐漸被打破。在此趣味中，挽歌漸與喪禮相分，成爲表現哀情的形式，一方面是挽詩的産生，另一方面就是魏晋士人的“樂喪”。而漢末以來，世極迍邅，魏晋士人於深情之外，又别有一種感傷氣質，乃承春秋以來尚悲之風，將其憂生之嗟，一寓於挽歌。劉義慶録其事於“任誕”之門，以名士風流視之，則不免以“樂喪”爲曠達，僅得其迹耳。魏晋“樂喪”之風緣於雅樂觀念的突破，對於以悲爲美的文學傳統的形成也是有推進之功的。

In the “Free and Unrestrained” chapter of A New Account of Tales of the World, there is a record about Huang Ziye 桓子野, Yuan Shansong 袁山松, and Zhang Zhan 張湛 who were interested in elegies. In his annotation of Qiaozi faxun 譙子法訓 (The Principles of Qiaozi), Liu Xiaobiao 劉孝標 doubts Qiao Zhou’s 譙周 assertion and notes elegiac funerals were not part of the ancient institution. The “Record of Music” of Book of Rites notes “the term ‘music’ is derived from the word ‘joy,’” which expresses the concept of yayue 雅樂 (elegant music) that confirms the legitimacy of the …

清初聖裔詞人的聲律思想及其學術淵源——從《紅萼軒詞牌》的詞譜性質談起, Linfu Wang

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

《紅萼軒詞牌》既是非常精美、實用的詞譜，同時也能夠當作酒牌使用，是一部能反映孔傳鐸、孔傳志等聖裔詞人聲律思想的著作。“詞即詩也”是聖裔群體詞學理念的核心。孔傳鐸等人主張宜於實用的誦讀，反對當時詞壇盛行的聲律復古之風，通過權衡律拗關係的方式實現了爲孤調定律，具有地域特色。聖裔群體强調詞也應具備詩的社會功能，其詞學活動在地域範圍内産生了深遠影響，也與當世南北詞壇有不少聯係，是學術史上不能忽視的一環。

Red Sepals Collection of Lyrics 紅萼軒詞牌 is a delicate and practical literary book, but can also be used in a drinking game. This work reflects the thought of prosody of Confucian descendants like Kong Chuanduo and Kong Chuanzhi. The principle — lyrics are poems — lies at the heart of the Confucian descendants’ community’s thought of lyrics. Advocates like Kong Chuanduo emphasized the practical recitation of lyrics and opposed the prevalent trend of prosodic revival in the lyricists’ circles of their time. They achieved a regional uniqueness in setting the tunes for individual melodies by carefully considering the nuances …

《世説新語》中的時代文學圖景, Yunliang Wang

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

與魏晋時清談盛行的局面相應，文學創作中也出現了口語興盛的現象；因出於公開展演的情境需要，文學創作對於迅捷的要求大爲增加。在文本傳播過程中，名流人士的話語起著不可估量的作用；由於當時以手抄本爲文章物質載體，讀者對作品的接受回饋，往往可以讓作者隨之更定，文本流動也是傳播中的常見現象。魏晋時期的文學接受，讀者更注重閲讀中個性的契合，强調情感的共鳴，當日發達的藝術形式，也爲時人的文學接受提供了多種可能，使他們可以通過繪畫、書法等不同藝術達到對文學的多維解讀。

Literary writing thrived on orality in response to the popularity of pure intellectual conversations in the Wei and Jin dynasties. Its immediacy was prominently emphasized to satisfy the contextual needs of public performance. Famous literary figures’ sayings were immeasurably important in the circulation of texts. Because texts were primarily materialized and circulated as handwritten manuscripts, authors often revised readers’ feedback as they wished. On the part of literary reception, readers valued whether they felt their personalities matched the authors’ and whether they felt sympathetic in reading literary works. The thriving aesthetic format at the time provided readers with possibilities …

劉孝標《世説注》所引文獻引文略考, Jiancheng Zhao

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

劉孝標《世説注》徵引浩博，極爲後世所推。其對引文的處理係以《世説》本文爲依歸，視注釋需要而有所去取，因此多數情況引文與引書原文並不完全一致，可以視爲“間接引用”。具體而言，劉孝標注徵引文獻，不是簡單地採録原文，其對引文的處理具有概括性、跳躍式的特點，即以概括的方法進行提煉加工，跳躍無關部分以選取與《世説》有關之内容，二者常結合使用。這些處理方法能够使其注釋重點突出、簡明扼要，具有針對性，避免了拖遝、冗長的毛病。有時也因此而導致引文的脱漏、不確切，甚至錯誤。劉孝標注引文與所引文獻原文時有差異，有些具有校勘價值；又有出於傳世文獻之外者，有些具有輯考傳世典籍佚篇（文）之重要價值；劉孝標注所引文獻，未必皆來自引書原書，相關考察有助於對其引書來源問題的研究。

Liu Xiaobiao’s copious citations in his lauded annotation of A New Account of Tales of the World were based on the texts of the masterpiece and were selected only when needed, and therefore the cited text and the original text often differed. They could be considered indirect citations. Liu handled the citations by summarizing the cited text and skipping irrelevant details and often combined these two methods, which made his annotations concise on the one hand and sometimes resulted in omissions, inaccuracies, and mistakes on the other. The difference between the cited and the original show the academic value …

夢、隱喻與思想 : 從意象基模解析《列子·周穆王篇》之夢寓及篇章意旨, Yin-Ching Chen

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

《列子·周穆王篇》共收録八則寓言，對於人類各種精神現象，如催眠、白日夢、失憶、錯覺、神智錯亂等心理現象皆有精彩著墨，内容涵括夢的實證經驗及宗教哲思諸面向，意涵繁複多元，值得深入探討。本文以當代西方“概念隱喻”的新視角及“意象基模”的解析架構，結合中國傳統文本研究之成果，解析《列子·周穆王篇》的八則寓言及篇章意旨。盼藉由概念隱喻理論具象化、系統化的解析方式，釐清“夢經驗”、“隱喻語言”與“道家思想”三者之間盤根錯節的關聯；並盼藉由會通中西的研究方法和視角，探索中西思維模式之異同，促進深度的文化交流與會通。

The Chapter of King Mu in the Liezi is composed of eight fantastic stories, centered on the themes of hypnosis, daydream, amnesia, illusion, and mental disorders. These stories conceive profound meanings which comprises religious and philosophical ideas, as well as real accounts of dreams. This article analyzes the stories and themes of the Chapter of King Mu by means of contemporary Western theories of “conceptual metaphor” and “image schema” and with reference to traditional Chinese research literature. It aims to clarify the relationship of the dream experience, metaphorical language, and Daoist thought. Further, it seeks to explore and compare …

對話與競争 : 嘉靖前期官刻古文選本的多重面向, Yi Zhang

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

一般認爲，具備官刻性質的古文選本，其内容與思想理應與國家官方所建設的文風與學風保持一致。在明代前中期的科舉文化背景下，官刻古文選本的産生，往往是作爲配合國家官學教育體系而存在的。然而，受到弘、正之際“文學復古”思潮與嘉靖年間版刻業復興的雙重影響，這一時期的文學風氣與思想傾向呈現出對於傳統程朱“正學”的某種背離，當然亦不乏堅守程朱之學的聲音存在。這些不同的思想動向皆反映在當時士人們所編刻的具備官方背景的古文選本之中，本文便以王三省《古文類選》、崔銑《文苑春秋》、顧璘《文端》三部古文選本爲考察對象，來探究其在同一個“場域”内所形成的對話與競争關係。而這種“對話”與“競争”關係，正折射出其與國家官學教育體系、編纂者自身的意圖及時代文風之間的複雜互動，也呈現出其與前代官刻古文選本不一樣的特徵。

It is generally believed that the content and ideas of government-publishing guwen anthologies should be consistent with the literary and academic styles established by the state. In the context of the imperial examination culture of the first and middle Ming dynasties, government-publishing anthologies of guwen were often produced as a complement to the state-level education system. However, the influence of the “archaist movement” at the time of Hongzhi and Zhengde, and the revival of the engraving industry during the Jiajing period, the literary style and ideological tendencies of this period showed a certain departure from the traditional Cheng-Zhu orthodoxy. …

玄學與才藻 : 《世説新語》“空洞無物”事義詳説, Ning Luo

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

《世説新語·排調》有一則記載王導與周顗的問答，周顗使用了“空洞無物”一語，今人受現代成語的影響，對此語原有的玄學意藴缺少感受和認識，僅簡單將其理解爲空無所有，這是不够準確的。空同或空洞的本意爲渾然一體、混沌未分，早期道家和宇宙論常用來形容大道的窈冥茫昧之狀，以及天地未分時混然一氣之狀，而到魏晋之時，空洞演變成爲一個頗具玄學色彩的詞彙。王弼注《老子》使用空洞一詞，一方面延續了該詞的混沌一氣的意思，一方面也賦予了它空虚無物的意思。“無物”和“容”也是來自老莊和玄學的思想。知道這些詞彙和概念的玄學背景以及魏晋的政治文化，結合周顗、王導等人的品性、行事以及其他故事就可以知道，周顗創造的“空洞無物”一語含有豐富的玄學意藴，正透露出他的玄學和才藻。

In the “Taunting and Teasing” chapter of A New Account of Tales of the World, there is a record about the conversation between Wang Dao 王導 and Zhou Yi 周顗, in which the latter uses the expression — kongdong wuwu 空洞 無物. With the influence of modern Chinese idioms, contemporary readers lack the perception and understanding of kongdong wuwu’s metaphysical connotation and simply interpret it as hollowness, which is inaccurate. Kongtong 空同 or kongdong 空洞 meant unity in the undivided state of primal chaos, as used in early Daoist cosmology to describe the dimness and obscurity of …

《尚書》合刻本中書序、篇目及對應疏文的編排形態考述, Zhijia Wang

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

僞孔本《尚書》篇章正文前保留了篇章對應的書序與篇目。唐代成書的《尚書正義》中也包括對這兩種要素的解釋。自南宋注疏合刻已還，歷史上《尚書》經注疏合刻本的編排形態總體保持穩定。但就部分篇章中書序、篇目及其對應疏文的編連方式，不同版本的《尚書注疏》之間存在差異。針對相關的文本現象以及其牽涉《尚書正義》的解釋模式，清代學者以及日本二十世紀上半葉出版的《尚書正義定本》均有所認識，並提出了調整編排的意見。本文將在考察《尚書正義》對書序、篇目相關解釋的基礎上，結合既有的校勘成果，綜合辨析合刻本的編排形態。

In the pseudo-Confucian version of the Book of Documents 尚書, chapter introductions and titles are retained preceding the main text. The Shangshu Zhengyi 尚書正義, compiled during the Tang Dynasty, also encompasses explanations of these two elements. Since the combined compliation of commentaries and sub-commentaries in the Southern Song Dynasty, the overall layout of the combined versions of the Book of Documents has remained consistent. However, variations can be observed among different versions, particularly in the sequencing of chapter introductions, titles, and their corresponding explanatory texts. Scholars from the Qing dynasty, as well as the Shangshu Zhengyi Dingben 尚書正義定本 published …

Chinese Firms In The Belt And Road Initiative: A Cross-Sectoral Study Of Bri Activities In Kenya, Yabo Wu

Asia Pacific Perspectives

The long-time development of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has sparked debates between scholars who emphasize a state-led approach and those who see decentralized project operations initiated by profit motives. This study bridges this divide by examining the practices of Chinese firms within the BRI, shedding light on state-business relations. Focusing on Kenya, a pivotal maritime BRI location, it explores Chinese state-firm relational dynamics in infrastructure, trade, and manufacturing BRI projects. The findings reveal that Chinese firms in Kenya, private or state-owned, play a partial strategic role. The Chinese state selects activities crucial for establishing a mutually beneficial narrative …

Westernization Or Localization? The (Mis)Reading Of “The Tragic” In Modern Chinese Literary Discourse, Tian Gu

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

This paper examines the features and causal factors in constructing an idea of the tragic in modern Chinese literary discourse. It attempts at revisiting and reproducing the realities of misreading and variation upon modern Chinese introduction of the term “tragedy” (beiju) at different socio-historical periods, and has observed the interplay between two trends, namely, Westernization and localization, through the negotiation of “the tragic” into modern Chinese literary practice. These two trends have been integrated by a political and pragmatic perspective, which dominates the formation of a modern Chinese literary discourse on “the tragic”. This perspective offers both possibility …

Children’S Gothic In The Chinese Context: The Untranslatability And Cross-Cultural Readability Of A Literary Genre, Chengcheng You

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

As an emerging literary subgenre in the twenty-first century, Children’s Gothic challenges and blends the norms of both children’s literature and Gothic literature, featuring child characters’ self-empowerment in the face of fears and dark impulses. The foreignness and strangeness that pertain to the genre haunt the border of its translatability. Daniel Handler’s A Series of Unfortunate Events (1999­–2006), written under the pseudonym Lemony Snicket, poses a chain of translational challenges due to its linguistic creativity, paratextual art, and mixed style of horror and dark humor intended for a child readership. To investigate the interplay between Children’s Gothic and its (un)translatability …

Ecopoetry As Method: Reading Gary Snyder As A Cultural Mediator Between China And The World, Winnie L M Yee

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

Ecocriticism is a field that is inherently cross-cultural, and poetry is an art form that creates bonds across cultural communities. This paper focuses on Gary Snyder, a prominent poet in his own right, who is famous for his translation of the works by Chinese poet Han Shan. His attraction to Chinese classical poetry and Eastern civilization offers an alternative to the Western developmental paradigm, and the ecopoetry he espouses is pertinent to today’s environmental debates. His references to nature do not function merely as reminders that nature should be respected but as an impetus to reflect on the coexistence of …

Decolonizing French: Afrophonics In Ken Bugul’S Aller Et Retour (2013), Hapsatou Wane

The Coastal Review

This article explores the innovative language strategies employed by Senegalese writer Ken Bugul in her novel Aller et retour to construct a dynamic and interconnected linguistic landscape that challenges fixed language boundaries. Ken Bugul's "langue fabriquée" combines elements of French, Wolof, and English, reflecting a transglocal dimension that embodies the essence of afrophonics—a poetics of resistance that empowers local cultures in a globalized context. Through a detailed analysis of Ken Bugul's linguistic choices, including the use of quotation marks, footnotes, and arbitrary transcription, the study reveals how she creates a language that defies categorization and decolonizes French without resorting to …

Assessing The Threat Of Social Media To National Security: Information Operations In The 21st Century, Brendan M. Cullen

Senior Theses

The ubiquity of social media has enabled an unprecedented amount of personal data to be accessible to various entities. Social media platforms leverage this data to optimize algorithmic recommendation systems, persuade users to engage, and promote monetization. The social media ecosystem’s business model demands continuous engagement and the relentless collection of user data to grow and scale. Not only is social media massively popular around the world, but it has integrated heavily into users’ daily lives. This integration is driven by social platforms’ deliberate architectures and affordances. The intentionality of social media can be exploited by state and non-state actors …

Up The Social Ladder: How Chinese Merchants Excelled Under The New Values Of Ming-Qing China, James B. Townsend

Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History

Ming China was a socially volatile period of Chinese history. Social distinctions were blurred as the merchant class rose to power to challenge old Confucian ideals in a commerce-based society. This paper examines what paved the road for the merchant class to rise, and how the non-elite empowerment shifted China's attitudes towards consumption and commerce.

A Lifetime Of Stress: Analysis And Treatment Of An Inlaid Chinese Box, Katherine Mcfarlin

Art Conservation Master's Projects

Inlaid wooden objects are complex and intricate mixed media assemblages that can provide significant challenges to the conservator, as the properties of the individual materials can conflict and complicate treatment options. For example, traditional inlay materials such as ivory and mother-of-pearl are particularly susceptible to shifts in moisture and acidity, and the hygroscopic nature of historic proteinaceous adhesives can exacerbate dimensional changes in the surrounding wood. This paper describes the research and subsequent treatment to stabilize and restore a Qing dynasty wooden tabletop chest inlaid with ivory, mother-of-pearl, and various siliceous minerals. A combination of adhesive failure along multiple joints …
