先秦賦研究論著敘録, Fan Zong

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

新時期（1978—）的先秦賦研究取得了輝煌成績。在文獻整理方面，吳廣平輯校的《宋玉集》（2001）、高志明《宋玉四家注集釋與彙評》（2014）、劉剛《宋玉研究資料類編》（2015）最見功力；在作品真僞和藝術成就方面，主要有朱碧蓮《宋玉辭賦譯解》（1987）、高秋鳳《宋玉作品真僞考》（1999）、吳廣平《宋玉研究》（2004）、劉剛《宋玉辭賦考》（2011）等多種；在辭賦普及方面，又有袁梅《宋玉辭賦今讀》（1986）、金榮權《宋玉辭賦箋評》（1991）、曹文心《宋玉辭賦》（2006）等。此外，葉舒憲《高唐神女與維納斯》（1997）、魯瑞菁《聖婚與聖宴》（2013）、江柳《宋玉辭賦的美學解讀》（2014）、姚守亮《宋玉辭賦語法修辭研究》（2015）分别從原型批評、神話學、美學和語言學角度深化了對宋玉辭賦的研究。值得一提的是，學術界組織的宋玉國際學術研討會已召開四次，每次都能收到學術論文近百篇，並且結集出版，有力地促進了宋玉賦研究的深化與拓展。但是在熱鬧局面的背後，亦有諸多值得檢討的問題：學術界對荀子賦的研究尚嫌薄弱，表現出重宋玉而輕荀子的傾向；對於先秦賦的俗文學性質，也期待能够有新的突破；低水準重複的著作甚多，激情有餘而創新不足。

Since 1978, the research on Pre-Qin rhapsody has seen great achievements. Song Yu ji (Collected Works of Song Yu; 2001) annotated by Wu Guangping, Song Yu sijia zhu jishi yu huiping (Four Commentators’ Collected Annotations and Commentaries on Song Yu’s Rhapsody; 2014) compiled by Gao Zhiming, and Song Yu yanjiu ziliao leibian (Collected Research Materials on Song Yu; 2015) edited by Liu Gang are among the best publications in the area of archival research. Outstanding among the research on the authenticity and achievements of Song Yu’s works are Zhu Bilian’s Song Yu ci fu yijie (Interpretations of Song Yu’s …

《詞韻選雋》與乾隆時代詞韻編纂思想, Boyang Ni

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

乾隆朝是詞韻編纂的轉捩期，對於沈謙開創的詞韻編纂範式多有揚棄。應澧所作《詞韻選雋》是體現該時期詞韻韻書編纂思想的重要成果，但尚未爲人關注。今南京圖書館藏《詞韻選雋》抄本或爲應澧原稿本，具有重要的研究價值。在詞韻分部上該書將入聲分爲四部，與今人利用統計學得到的結果只在一個《廣韻》韻部上有出入，體現出作者高超的審音功力。在創作觀念上該書强調詞韻要獨立於詩韻之外；韻目以《廣韻》爲主；不能將詞韻與古詩韻相混淆；審音應以宋人的雅音爲依據，不能兼採鄉音。這些觀念一方面糾正了沈謙的偏失，一方面開戈載之先聲，能够與《學宋齋詞韻》《榕園詞韻》一起代表乾隆時代詞韻家的編纂思想。

The reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing dynasty is a pivotal time for the compilation of ci rhymes and the compilers at the time deserted the methods of compilation initiated by Shen Qian. Ying Li’s Ciyun xuanjuan (Selected Ci Rhymes) is an important embodiment of the thoughts of the compilation of ci rhymes at the time, but it has not attracted sufficient scholarly treatments. Of great research value is the copy collected in the Nanjing Library, which is probably Ying Li’s original manuscript. Ciyun xuanjuan’s rhyme section is divided into four parts according to the entering tone. There …

論《群書治要》去取《史記》之敘事原則, Ming Kay Poon

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

《群書治要》乃唐人魏徵等奉唐太宗之命而編，其用意在於“昭德塞違，勸善懲惡”。惟歷代典籍眾多，遂於群籍之中，擇其“務乎政術”者，“以備勸戒，爰自六經，訖乎諸子，上始五帝，下盡晉年，凡爲五袠，合五十卷，本求治要，故以治要爲名”。此書引用經、史、子三部之典籍共65種。其中卷一一至卷三〇爲史部，引用史部典籍六種，包括《史記》一卷半、《吳越春秋》半卷、《漢書》八卷、《後漢書》四卷、《三國志》四卷、《晉書》兩卷。其中《漢書》八卷僅存六卷，有兩卷在《治要》佚文之列也。《史記》載録三千年史事之於一事，上起黄帝，下訖漢武，共五十二萬六千五百字。《漢書》載西漢二百年史事，成八十萬字。然在《治要》之中，僅載《史記》一卷半，而《漢書》有八卷之多，比例懸殊，發人深思。本篇之撰，以《治要》所載《史記》爲根據，討論其去取《史記》之原則與精神，並見其如何體現《治要》“昭德塞違，勸善懲惡”之主旨。

Qunshu zhiyao (The Governing Principles of Ancient China) , compiled by Wei Zheng and others under the order of Emperor Taizong of the Tang dynasty, aimed to exhort virtues and punish vice. Qunshu zhiyao was only able to include those that were helpful to the regime. The texts as admonitions to later generations included in Qunshu zhiyao were the Confucius classics or written by ancient sages, covering the period from the Five Emperors to the Jin dynasty. “Zhiyao” in its title emphasizes the purpose of this book. Among the sixty-five classics selected into Qunshu zhiyao, Volume Eleven to Thirty …

崑山與安期 : 謝靈運《登江中孤嶼》詩新解 : 兼及謝靈運與早期上清傳記《馬君傳》之關係, Jing Li

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

在謝靈運的《登江中孤嶼》一詩中，最後的四句常被詬病爲不和諧的“玄言的尾巴”。由此提出的問題是，本詩的敘事寫景和説理抒情之間有什麽邏輯關係？另外，“崑山”和“安期”，從表面上看分别代表不同的神話（神仙）系統，那麽，“想像崑山姿”二句與“始信安期術”二句之間又有什麽樣的聯繫？

要解決上述問題，關鍵在於對“崑山”和“安期”的理解。這裏的崑山，指向的不是西王母，而是《馬君傳》中的太真夫人，安期也不是《史記》和《列仙傳》中的安期，而是《馬君傳》中的安期先生。謝靈運《山居賦》中有“安期先生是馬明生之師”的表述，這一情節當來自《馬君傳》。故本文試圖從該傳的知識背景出發，對此詩作一全新的解讀，並對謝靈運和《馬君傳》之間的關係作一考證。

The last four lines of Xie Lingyun’s poem “Deng jiang zhong guyu” (On Climbing Isolated Island in the River) has been criticized as a disharmonious xuanyan de weiba (tail to subtle words). This criticism raises the question as to what the logical connection between the descriptive narrative and the lyrical reasoning in the poem is. Besides, as Mount Kun and Scholar Anqi appear to belong to different mythological genealogies, what is the relationship between “imagining the beauty of the Kun Mount” and “believing in Master Anqi’s magic arts”? Understanding Kun Mount and Master Anqi correctly is the key …

中國文學的“興寄”傳統, Liyang Ma

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

“興寄”作爲中國古典詩學重要理論概念廣爲接受，但勘察中國文學的“實際”，它本是以比類與托喻爲表徵的自由疏放的抒情方式。伴隨“楚騷”躋身“詩三百篇”同等的地位，“興寄”被吸納入“詩教比興”的系統而呈現出“隱曲”的特徵。宋代以來對“直筆”式“詩史”之批評更爲强調褒貶的寄寓，又推助“興寄”走向詩歌意義層面的“深微”。“深婉隱曲”的“興寄”衍生出兩種批評方案：“知人論世—詩史互證”與“微言大義—興感超越”。前者取決於文本内在結構的細微把握，如陸注蘇詩、錢注杜詩等；後者更加凸顯文本自身的獨立意義，如常州派的“詞史”批評等。儘管“興寄”走到過字義比附帶來的“僵化”、歷史闡釋的强勢介入所出現的“羈絆”以及由“興感”的“氾濫”導致的喧賓奪主，但在中國文學長河中始終具備有變動不居、生氣淋漓的“文學傳統”之表徵，實際成爲中國文學本體的核心“存在”

Xing ji (inspirational irony and images of substitution) is an important and widely accepted theoretical concept of Chinese classical poetics. Previous research on classical Chinese writings shows that xing ji had been a free and unrestrained lyricism characterized by analogy and metaphor. As Chuci (Songs of Chu) achieved the same status as Shijing (Classics of Poetry), xing ji was absorbed into the system of shi jiao (instruction through poetry) and bi xing (analogical and affective image), and it consequently adopted the feature of obscurity. Xing ji was further driven toward profundity and subtlety at the semantic level by the …

A Bert-Based Two-Stage Model For Chinese Chengyu Recommendation, Minghuan Tan, Jing Jiang, Bingtian Dai

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In Chinese, Chengyu are fixed phrases consisting of four characters. As a type of idioms, their meanings usually cannot be derived from their component characters. In this paper, we study the task of recommending a Chengyu given a textual context. Observing some of the limitations with existing work, we propose a two-stage model, where during the first stage we re-train a Chinese BERT model by masking out Chengyu from a large Chinese corpus with a wide coverage of Chengyu. During the second stage, we fine-tune the retrained, Chengyu-oriented BERT on a specific Chengyu recommendation dataset. We evaluate this method on …

“A Sick Way Of Thinking?”: The Unorthodox Dramaturgy Of Young Jean Lee’S Identity Politics Theater, Io Chun Kong

Akda: The Asian Journal of Literature, Culture, Performance

The article addresses the predicament of what I refer to as “racial contingency” in Asian American theater and how such conception draws critical attention to the naturalizing of neoliberal multiculturalism. Utilizing “racial contingency” as a critical lens to examine the emerging wave of Asian American artists, this essay explores Young Jean Lee’s identity politics theater as a counter-ideological project that responds to neoliberal multiculturalism. It aims to explore her “unorthodox” dramaturgy as critical aesthetic embodied in her latest Broadway success, Straight White Men (2015), which expresses (quoting her own line) “a sick way of thinking” that is deemed as both …

呂祖謙《東萊博議》研究, Shuai Pu

Lingnan Theses (MPhil & PhD)

伴隨對南宋理學問題的深入發掘研究，理學名家呂祖謙的著作日益得到學界關注。圍繞《古文關鍵》、《宋文鑑》、《呂氏家塾讀詩記》、《近思錄》等作品展開的研究日漸豐富，前輩學人多聚焦於呂氏思想中“以廣大為心”的顯著包容性，探討其在“不名一師、不私一說”家學風氣的影響下從容悠遊於文、史、經、理之間，兼收並蓄、博採眾長，藉“以踐履為實”的實踐追求構建自身豐贍詳實的學術思想體系，並希冀由此尋求社會現實問題的解決之道。其中典型代表當屬呂祖謙在史論方面的嘗試與努力，代表作則首推其早年間為指導科舉而作的《東萊博議》一書。

表面上看《東萊博議》的價值僅限於指導科舉策問，但推敲文本內容，可見其本質上是涵蓋多方面思考的史論作品，在指導科舉的外殼下兼具文學、史學、經學、理學研究意義，顯現出呂氏史論的廣泛包容性。更重要的是《東萊博議》成書日早，文本中多見呂祖謙初涉仕途尚未磨滅的理想色彩，相較其他著作更能體現其早期思想狀態，故而研究《東萊博議》有助於理解呂氏思想體系逐步走向成熟的軌跡脈絡。

正基於此，論文選擇以《東萊博議》史論內容作為研究對象。全文計由八章構成，首章為緒論部分，介紹選題緣由及先期準備；第二章以文本析讀為《東萊博議》定性，明確該書史論性質；第三章回溯史論發展情況還原《東萊博議》的歷史定位，解讀呂祖謙的史論觀；第四章梳理《東萊博議》史論內容，圍繞為政經驗總結與理學概念闡發分析呂氏史論要點；五、六兩章聚焦於《東萊博議》史論內容的思想理據，從文、史、經、理等多方面入手探討呂氏學術認知與思考興寄；第七章依託實例剖析史論文體的先天缺陷，闡發評論的同時觀照呂祖謙《東萊博議》史論的後世影響；尾章歸納得出最終結論，依據現有思考方向展望研究前景，完成論文預設研究目標。

Delusional Mitigation In Religious And Psychological Forms Of Self-Cultivation: Buddhist And Clinical Insight On Delusional Symptomatology, Austin J. Avison

The Hilltop Review

This essay examines Buddhist forms of self-cultivation and development that enable a psychosocial capacity for emotional, cognitive, and behavioral adjustment by improving an individual's characteristic mode of interaction within the world. First, we will consider the religious form of self-cultivation seen in the context of Buddhism and its desire to remove delusional perspectives through developmental practices. In this, we will consider the cultivating function of clinical psychology through the therapeutic application of cognitive restructuring techniques as a form of cultivation. Next, considering psychological self-cultivation, training, development, and education concerning the treatment of schizophrenia and its characteristic criterion of delusions. Further, …

Charles Schulz’s Peanuts turned 71 years old on October 2, and we celebrate the anniversary of this world-famous comic strip with a love letter from Japan. Natsume Fusanosuke originally wrote this essay[1] about his connection to Peanuts in 1999 for a supplement issue of Bungei Shunjū magazine: a special on one of the gods of comics, Tezuka Osamu, with whom Charles Schulz stands in great company. Natsume is a voracious reader and a global observer of both manga and world comics. Here, he describes the appeal of Peanuts for Japanese readers and how it compares to a similarly beloved Japanese …

"Writing Unspeakable Things: Speechlessness, Abjection, And The Ethics/Aesthetics Of (Not) Representing Sexual Violence In Three Korean American "Comfort Women' Novels", M Laura Barberan Reinares

Publications and Research

This article analyzes “comfort women” novels by the Korean American authors Therese Park, Nora Okja Keller, and Chang-rae Lee in terms of the ethics and aesthetics of representing sexual violence through language. I specifically look at these authors’ stylistic strategies to describe rape in writing and how they (more or less successfully) avoid voyeuristic portrayals of the “comfort women” by controlling the narrative point of view and relying on traumatic “speechlessness” and abjection. Building on relevant notions from the fields of photography, cinematography, philosophy, and psychoanalysis, this analysis suggests that in-progress representations of rape in language become a futile project …

The Fall Of The Ikko Ikki: The Demise Of The Honganji In The Late Sengoku Period, Alexander M. Remington

Student Publications

During the late Sengoku Period Japan witnessed the fall of the Honganji, a sect of Pure Land Buddhism. The Honganji was a significant military, political, and economic power and commanded armies of commoners known as Ikko Ikki. The Honganji fell because it challenged the traditional social order of Japan, lacked unity, and stood against warlord Oda Nobunaga during his bid for hegemony. The fall of the Honganji resulted in consequential policies and impacted Japanese society going into the Tokugawa period.

The Constructing Of “Chinese-Ness”: The Culinary Identity Of Chinese Restaurants In Gettysburg, Pa., Lureann A. Semple

Student Publications

General Tso’s Chicken. Egg Rolls. Fried Rice. Fortune Cookies. Since the creation of Chop Suey in 1849, Chinese restaurants have not only displayed one of the most fascinating ethnic cuisines in the US but also become a commonly recognizable cultural symbol for Chinese-ness in the American “melting pot." Then what kind of “Chinese-ness” is presented and how is it constructed by these restaurants? Does its Otherness prevent it from fitting into mainstream American society or does its Americanization make this identity less ‘authentic’? By taking the Chinese restaurants in Gettysburg, PA, as a case study, this research studies the construction …

On The Four Forms Of Contemporary Cultural Criticism, Minghua Xiao

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

In the last 30 years, cultural criticism emerged in studies of literature and art thanks to changes in social and cultural context. Some scholars are appealed to interpretative criticism as a result of epistemological interest in the rising popular culture. Some are stimulated to practice cultural criticism by the anxiety about the change of intellectual identity. Some are dedicated to cultural criticism in order to break through disciplinary restraints or to fulfil intellectuals’ role of responding to public concerns. These forms of cultural criticism can be respectively dubbed as “cultural criticism as popular literary criticism,” “cultural criticism as cultural research,” …

On The Tongcheng School’S Preposition Of “Both Poetry And Prose Following One Principle”, Wuzheng Pan

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, literary theories tended to consider poetry and prose as following one principle of composition. The Tongcheng School in the Qing Dynasty emphasized on differentiating genres and opposed the blending of elements of other genres into the ancient-style prose, but this school excelled at both poetry and prose writing, and their proposition of “both poetry and prose following one principle” became a consensus. While the Gong’an School and Yuan Mei’s xingling (spirituality) poetics exploited the Confucian poetics to promote the writing of private life and personal sentiments, the Tongcheng School advocated the virtues of the …

Pre-Qin Concepts Of “Image” And Aesthetic Imagism In Chinese Poetry, Yiming Huang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Chinese culture and Chinese way of thinking share the characteristic of imagistic correlation, which may be termed as “image-oriented thinking” or “imagistic thinking”. This characteristic is related to many concepts concerning images such as “regarding objects for images” and “watching for image through divination” in The Book of Changes, “no shape in the grand image” in Laozi, and “intangibility of images” by Zhuangzi. A delineation and analytical examination of the concepts concerning image in the pre-Qin literature may illuminate our understanding of how the concepts of image influenced the direct representation of images in the poetry, and the prioritization of …

Reexamining Prototype Theory From The Perspective Of Eleanor Rosch’S New Conception Of Categorization, Huibin He

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Classic categorizations, such as “human beings are animals with two feet,” have obvious defections, as they are too limited to cover the wide range of instances or not rich enough to fully represent the characteristics of the type of beings. The literary prototype theory based on the classic categorization, which regards prototypes as combinations of universal properties and specific particularities, is essentialist and incapable of exploring the true value of prototypes. It is discovered by Eleanor Rosch and other scholars that the abstract attributes are not the criteria for classification of types in everyday life; rather, the most typical prototypes …
