Revisiting 'Seventeen–Year Literature' (1949-1966) In China From A Neocolonial Perspective, Tian Zhang

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In her article "Revisiting Seventeen–Year Literature' (1949-1966) in China from a Neo­colonial Perspective" Tian Zhang surveys the "Seventeen-Year Literature" (1949-1966) from a neocolo­nial perspective. It reviews the internal and external factors of anxiety faced by Chinese during the period of seventeen years since the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949. The sev­enteen years witnessed a stress on and flourishing of the proletarian socialist literature of the people, by the people and for the people. The seventeen-year literature, on its way to smashing the old system, represents the trend of Chinese literature of the time and the extension …

Masks: A New Face For The Theatre, Alexi Michael Siegel

James Madison Undergraduate Research Journal (JMURJ)

This study seeks to reimagine and reinvigorate modern theatre’s relationship with mask work through text-based historical research and practice-based artistic research. It focuses on three ancient mask traditions: pre- and early Hellenistic Greek theatre, Japanese Noh theatre, and Nigerian Egungun masquerades. Research on these mask traditions and recent masked productions informed the development and staging of a masked performance of Charles Mee’s Life is a Dream. The production featured sections for each of the ancient masking styles and a final section that explored masks in a contemporary theatrical style. As a whole, this creative project pulls masks out of …

The Colonized Masculinity And Cultural Politics Of Seediq Bale, Chin-Ju Lin

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In her article, “The Colonized Masculinity and Cultural Politics of Seediq Bale,” Chin-ju Lin discusses a Taiwanese blockbuster movie, a postcolonial historiography and a form of life-writing, which delineates the last Indigenous insurrection against Japanese colonialism. This article explores the cultural representations in Seediq Bale. Fighting back as a colonized man for pride and dignity is portrayed as means to restore their masculine identity. The headhunting tradition is remembered, romanticized, praised highly as heroic and even strengthened in an inaccurate way to promote individualistic masculinity and to forge a new national identity in postcolonial Taiwan. Nevertheless, the stereotypical …

談談戰國文字中用爲“野”的“冶”字, Ping'an Zhao

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

戰國文字中有一個從“土”從“爪”的字，長期以來得不到正確的釋讀。本文比較系統地梳理了該字的研究歷史，分析了該字的相關用例，特别是新出簡帛資料，認爲應釋爲野。從來源上講，很可能是冶的假借改造字。

説甲骨文的「豕凶十」和「奚戌」字, Qingyu Du

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

甲骨文中的「豕凶十」和「奚戌」字都比較常見，但它們的字形該如何分析，學界尚無統一意見。本文通過相關字形的分析對比，並結合辭例及文獻進行考察，認爲「豕凶十」爲「冡」字初文，「奚戌」爲「髡」字初文。

中國古墓爲何隨葬書籍, Hua Yang

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

中國古墓中出土大量書籍，是上古葬俗的反映。在喪葬禮制的初期，它們被埋入墓中，可能與墓主的身份、職業、興趣有直接關係，但後來相沿成俗，便變得關係不大了，大多是舉喪時臨時抄寫的文本。喪家可能並不在意入葬文本的性質和完整性，而只是在意是否隨葬了“書”，對葬書禮俗的重視反而超過了對文獻本身的重視。所以纔會出現重複文本、摘抄選抄、補綴書寫、空白簡等現象。不同時期人間社會流行的書籍，在“陰間”墓葬中都會得到反映。

據出土文獻説“懸諸日月而不刊”及相關問題, Jian Chen

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

今日尚常用之成語“懸諸日月而不刊”，一般解釋作“和日月一同懸掛在天空，永不磨滅”之類。此語出自西漢末揚雄《答劉歆書》，可追溯到《管子·白心》“縣乎日月無已也”。“縣（懸）”如字解非其原意。從秦漢出土文獻的字形、用字習慣和有關辭例來看，“縣”原本應解作緜延之“緜（綿）”。“緜”字本自“縣”字分化而來，兩字在漢代曾長期共用某些字形而未徹底分化開；東漢碑刻中有“緜之日月，與金石存”（婁壽碑），“功綿日月，名勒管弦”（帝堯碑）等辭例，與“縣（緜）諸日月”可相印證。古書校勘中的“縣”“緜（綿）”糾葛問題，王念孫多已指出；今據本文的分析，還可進一步揭示出更多先秦古書和漢代簡帛中一些應讀爲“緜”的“縣”字，糾正舊説之誤。

新見《壽「四每」尊》銘文所見「卜馬」字試釋, Pui Ling Tang

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

香港翰海秋季拍賣會公佈新見《壽「四每」尊》乙器，年代屬於西周早期至中期之間。銘文記有“睗（錫）「卜馬」馬卅匹”一語，當中，「卜馬」字从“卜”从“馬”，乃金文首見，拍賣圖録讀爲“駙”。本文結合傳世文獻所見“馼”、“駇”二字的討論，提出尊銘「卜馬」字當讀爲“駁”，“睗（錫）「卜馬」馬卅匹”意指賞賜雜色馬三十匹。此外，本文復通過先秦用馬制度中“毛馬而頒之”與“物馬而頒之”的記述，指出《壽「四每」尊》所記賜馬數量較多，或因雜色馬無法用於禮儀活動，故其用途可以理解爲軍旅出征或家居代步。

新出曾伯「雨桼」壺銘的“元屖”與舊著録銅器銘文中相關詞語考釋, Pei Shen

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

2017年1月16、17日，湖北省文物考古研究所發表湖北京山蘇家壟遺址出土的曾伯雨桼壺銘文照片，並對銘文大部分内容作了解釋。有學者很快就發表了研究文章。本文隨即對前述相關研究做了檢討，重新隸寫釋文，並作相關注釋，重點將其中“孔武元屖”與舊著録曾伯「雨桼」簠相應的“元武孔黹”進行對比，確定“孔黹”當讀爲“孔夷”。由此，文章又對其他銘文中難解的“黹”字及相關語詞進行了重新解釋。此外，文章還順便討論了樂器銘文中常見的“元鳴孔皇”的語法結構問題。

戰國楚竹書《容成氏》校讀, Zhi-Peng Lin

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

《上海博物館藏戰國楚竹書》第2册有《容成氏》一篇，存簡五十餘枚，内容涉及夏商周三代興亡及其前的古史傳説，所記頗能補傳世文獻之闕。從2002年刊布以來，已有多部專書及數百篇論文針對此篇竹書的簡序編聯、疑難字詞及思想内涵作深入的探討。近年孫飛燕、單育辰搜集相關論著，分别編有集釋，筆者在其整理的基礎上，重新校讀全篇竹書。除了廣引時賢意見，加以論斷、補充新説外，筆者對於簡文中的難解詞語，如“歭板正立”、“方爲三俈”、“民乃宜怨”等，亦提出自己的看法。

新出“宗人”諸器所反映的西周宗族關係, Wei Han

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

新見流散西周青銅器中，有一組與名爲“宗人”的貴族相關的銅器，包括宗人簋兩件、伯或父鼎（作器者實爲“宗人”）一件、叔安父簋一件、孝簋一件、叔友簋兩件。這組銅器年代在西周中期後段，銘文内容涉及西周世族的内部結構以及大、小宗之間的關係，十分重要。銘文記録“伯或父（伯氏）”、“凡姬”和“叔安父”先後賞賜“宗人”和“孝（叔友）”，或爲他們製作祭器。本文首先分析銅器銘文中記録的人物關係，指出“伯或父”爲該家族大宗宗子，“凡姬”爲其夫人，是出身“周公之胤”凡氏家族的女子。“叔安父”應爲“伯或父”之世子。“宗人”是“伯或父”的小宗侄輩，“孝（叔友）”則是“宗人”的親兄弟。由此可見，西周時期世族内部的大宗和小宗之間保持着嚴格的宗法關係，在政治、經濟和祭祀等諸方面，小宗都服從於大宗，並從大宗獲取資源支持。而且大宗宗子的夫人（宗婦）和世子（法定繼承人）都在族内享有一定的支配權。這些都深化了我們對西周家族形態和宗法制度的認識。

戰國工官屬吏中的成童 : 再談三晉銘刻中所見“孺子”的身份, Yongbing Guo

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

本文結合《陝西金文集成》著録的春成孺子鼎和邵陰下官銅箍銘文，對戰國文字資料中與斠量器物有關的“孺子”的身份再次進行了探討，否定了過去對三晉銘刻中所見的部分“孺子”身份的判斷，認爲這些“孺子”是工官中負責諸如器物檢定斠量等輔助工作的成童，與戰國文字資料中的“敖童/敖史”、“馬童”身份接近，或可類比。文末附帶談了燕國的“郭大夫甗”，懷疑所謂“郭”字可能也應改釋“乳”，並對器物自名作了研究。

前言, Gang Xu

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

作爲現代學術的中國古代文史研究，是從民國時候的羅王之學開始的。現代文史之學的開拓和進展，一直是跟出土文獻的發現緊密結合在一起的。胡適、顧頡剛、傅斯年、陳寅恪，民國時候的諸多大師，都非常强調新材料的發現和使用。中央研究院建立歷史語言研究所，也是以殷墟的發掘和研究爲支柱的，從此纔有了中國現代的考古學。２０ 世紀下半葉以來，新的發現層出不窮，極大地豐富了我們對秦漢以前的早期中國社會的認識，這是非常令人振奮的。由於出土文獻内容的豐富性和重要性，它就像一個巨大的漩渦，把各個研究領域的優秀學者吸引過來，形成了一股浩蕩的沿流(drift)，奔流成河。

這是一個學科重組的時代，很多傳統學科的邊界都已經模糊，面臨着與其它學科之間的交叉滲透。研究者相互之間的合作和交流顯得越來越迫切。出土文獻涉及古代社會的各個方面，它本身就是一個學科開放的研究對象，尤其需要不同領域的學者之間的切磋和協作。本輯的十二篇論文，雖然只是這條大河中激起的幾朵浪花，但是它們各有自己的姿態，各有自己的衝擊力，從不同的側面，突顯了出土文獻研究的特點和現狀。

諧聲假借的原則及複雜性, Fuhai Zhang

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

諧聲假借是利用語音的相同或相近關係來造字和使用文字。諧聲偏旁的讀音必定與整字的讀音相同或相近，某字所假借表示的詞的語音必定與其本來的讀音相同或相近。音近有一定的原則：聲母方面，如同部位的塞音，同部位的鼻流音；韻母方面，如韻相同，開合相同。但不合一般原則的諧聲假借亦不乏其例，尤其是在以戰國竹簡爲代表的出土古文字資料中，諧聲假借的語音關係表現複雜，需要加以歸納和解釋。而傳統的“一聲之轉”説帶有極大的任意性，必須摒棄。

司馬遷與《過秦》篇, Kanli Chen

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

司馬遷編著《史記》，全文引述賈誼《過秦》篇，有含而未申之義。參考北大漢簡《趙正書》等出土文獻，可知《過秦》所述史事别有所據，與《史記》多有牴牾。司馬遷對這些牴牾之處未加删削，也不像對待一般作品那樣將《過秦》篇置入作者的列傳，而是收録在抒發己見的“太史公曰”中，有意假借賈誼的文字，寫出對武帝晚年政局的批評和重蹈亡秦覆轍的憂慮。這樣的表達方式，受到《詩》《書》《春秋》等古代經典的影響，切合當時的歷史情境，更與司馬遷本人的遭遇和心態緊密聯繫，體現了《史記》寫作中個人化的一面。

試論早期“中國”觀念的形成, Gang Xu

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

西周初年，“中國”的概念逐漸固定在洛陽，這是武王、周公的戰略設計。在周民族進入中國歷史之前，洛陽一直是個邊緣地帶，並不是政治與文化的中心。西周以前，華夏族的政治經濟中心是九州中的冀州地區。把洛陽作爲天下之中，除了地理的因素之外，更重要的是宗教、軍事、資源上的考慮。“中國”是一個宗教性的概念，是一種精神的象徵。

The Literati Purport Of Jiazhuan And Theoretical Reflection On Its Ideas Of "Using Literature As Play", Xiaoju Huang, Weiguo Zhao

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

A relatively independent type of ancient Chinese prose, jiazhuan was biographies written anthropomorphically for objects. Han Yu's Biography of Mao Ying written in the Tang dynasty marked the beginning of jiazhuan, followed by numerous parodies in the Song and Ming dynasties. Such prose, written by the literati at leisure for entertainment, embodied their refined aesthetic taste. This article argues that jiazhuan was an expression in the form of games, which displayed writers' talent. Thus perceived, just like "writing is for conveying truth", "using literature as play" became an important and necessary literary stance for the literati to divert themselves from …

The Other In The View Of The Self And The Self In The Horizon Of The Other: The "Reconstruction Of Canon" In The Translations Of Literary Mind And The Carving Of Dragons In American Scholarship, Pengfei Gu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

This article discusses a basic literary question: suppose there is an original text which is an authorized canon, then is its translated text still a canon? The circulation of Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons in American scholarship is an example. Those translated texts, rewritten through cross-cultural translation, deviate from the original because they were reconstructed in a heterogeneous cultural context. With three kinds of research methods, including contextual reduction of the original text, form reconstruction of the paratext and comparison of intertextuality between Chinese and Western versions, Vincent Yu-chung Shih, Stephen Owen and Yang Guobin succeeded in reestablishing …

The Relationship Between Meaning, Images, And Words Of Yang Wanli's Poetics, Ruiqing Li

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Illustrating the system of meaning, images, and words from The Book of Changes, Yang Wanli concludes that one should seek images through and within words, and Tao through and within images. Applying this philosophical logic to poetic logic, Yang reaches the conclusion that in that case, wan xiang bi lai (you can see all images in your head), and yi zai ju zhong (what you intend to convey has been expressed in sentences) help form rigorously structured poetics with Confucian tradition of meaning and words. Based on Yang's unique theory of mind-material relationship and his favor to natural imagery, wan …

Three Meanings Of Moderation: The Effective Integration Of Literary Aesthetics And Ethic Politics As A Practice Of Rhetoric Politics, Fengjie Liu, Tiange Fan

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

As a theory of artistic style within the domain of political cultivation, moderation is both the result and rhetorical practice of Confucian ethics and authoritarian politics. Moderation forms its own systemic characteristics, namely, roundabout admonishment in terms of rhetorical strategies, aesthetics of harmony regarding aesthetic taste, and a lyrical principle of starting with genuine feelings and stopping with good manners. However, after the May 4th Movement, it was replaced by the creation principle of "starting with genuine feelings, and ending with genuine feelings".

"Establishing Xiang To Fully Express Idea" And Chinese Aesthetic Culture, Dakang Ma

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

"Daxiang (great image)" and "Xiangwang (beings without trace)" are a state of "Non-Objectivity". Through imitation and imagination, the relationship between human and nature is transformed from object relationship to non-object relationship, which ultimately leads to human understanding of "Tao". This is the meaning of "establishing Xiang to fully express idea". "Yixiang (image)", "Yijing (ideo-mood-imagery)" and "Jingjie (state or realm)" are the fields composed of "Xiang" and "Daxiang", which can be called "Xiang-Daxiang". "Xiang-Daxiang" is the cell of the Chinese aesthetic culture and it produces the unique character of Chinese aesthetic culture, and also determines the unique way of thinking and …
