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 …

Encuentros Y Variaciones Performáticas Entre El Larp Y El Cosplay. Algunas Claves Desde Las Teorías De Consumo (No)Narrativo, Laura I. Quiroz

Journal of Roleplaying Studies and STEAM

Tanto el larp (live-action role-play) como el cosplay (representación corporal de personajes de la cultura popular mediática) son manifestaciones dentro del amplio espectro de fenómenos del performance, entendido éste tanto escenificación como conclusión o reactivación de una experiencia. Ambas prácticas también están ligadas a hacer presentes, a través de los juegos de apariencia y la simulación corporal, universos narrativos ya sea completos, fragmentados o recombinados. La ponencia propuesta busca explorar estas relaciones y variaciones entre el larp y el cosplay a partir de las teorías de consumo narrativo y de la base de datos propuestas por Eiji Otsuka (2010, 2017) …

Beautifully Grotesque: Umezu Kazuo And The Shōjo Experience In Horror Manga, Miko Suzuki

Dissertations and Theses

"Mama's Scary" ("Mama ga kowai", 1965) by manga artist Umezu Kazuo took a new direction in depicting mother-daughter relationships by giving them a monstrous twist. "Mama's Scary" directly responded to how mother-daughter relationships were portrayed in 1960s shōjo manga, in which they were typically shown to be loving and caring, hence why adding horror elements to such relationship dynamics was considered jarring during the Shōwa era. Therefore, to analyze "Mama's Scary" is to also explore how women and young girls were portrayed in manga by men during the Shōwa era, and to analyze how adding the element of horror either …

How To Rewrite A Tagalog Novel Into An English Classic: Danton Remoto’S English Translation Of Lope K. Santos’S Banaag At Sikat, Chris Cañete Rodriguez Kelly

Perspectives in the Arts and Humanities Asia

To appeal to a contemporary global readership, Danton Remoto in his English translation of Lope K. Santos’s Banaag at Sikat omits much of the original’s political passages. Such an approach to translation, however, hollows out elements of the original. Following the work of Annette Damayanti Lienau and Akshya Saxena, this essay understands colonial and vernacular languages as dialectically interdependent. It argues that Remoto’s abridgement of Banaag at Sikat is produced not by a refusal to translate the Tagalog of the original, but a refusal to translate the coconstitutive difference between English and Tagalog, which inheres precisely in the excessive political …

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 …

The Animal In The Wild In Hwang Sun-Mi’S The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly, Sarah Yoon

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

Hwang Sun-mi’s The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly has become a contemporary classic children’s story in Korea since its original publication in 2000. Since then, the story has been translated and redesigned with new illustrations in almost thirty different countries (Y. Kim). The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly centers on a hen that raises a duckling as her “baby,” with the story drawing upon a rich reservoir of cultural associations between humans and nature in East Asian traditions. In this story, the hen leaves the human-dominated barnyard, based on profit, exploitation, and competition, for a reconnection with moral …

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 …

Śākya Mchog Ldan (1428–1507), Yaroslav Komarovski

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

gSer mdog Paṇ chen Śākya mchog ldan was an influential Tibetan scholar who developed a novel approach to the key systems of Buddhist thought and practice. While he is renowned as one of the most famous Sa skya thinkers, his approach has never become accepted as the mainstream within the Sa skya due to his espousal of the views of other-emptiness, as well as critical inquiry into the views of Sa skya paṇḍita Kun dga’ rgyal mtshan, the supreme authority of the Sa skya tradition. Besides involvement in his own Sa skya tradition, Śākya mchog ldan also maintained connection with …

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 …

Flacgec: A Chinese Grammatical Error Correction Dataset With Fine-Grained Linguistic Annotation, Hanyue Du, Yike Zhao, Qingyuan Tian, Jiani Wang, Lei Wang, Yunshi Lan, Xuesong Lu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Chinese Grammatical Error Correction (CGEC) has been attracting growing attention from researchers recently. In spite of the fact that multiple CGEC datasets have been developed to support the research, these datasets lack the ability to provide a deep linguistic topology of grammar errors, which is critical for interpreting and diagnosing CGEC approaches. To address this limitation, we introduce FlaCGEC, which is a new CGEC dataset featured with fine-grained linguistic annotation. Specifically, we collect raw corpus from the linguistic schema defined by Chinese language experts, conduct edits on sentences via rules, and refine generated samples manually, which results in 10k sentences …

The Philippine Economy During The Japanese Occupation, Jasper Lem

Asian Studies: Student Scholarship & Creative Works

The economy of the Philippines was derailed by the Japanese occupation during World War II. As an American colony before World War II, the Philippines had close amicable ties with the United States highlighted by promises of independence on July 4th, 1946. The Philippines also maintained a beneficial economic relationship with the States at this time through extensive foreign trade. However, because of the Japanese invasion, the Philippine economy was robbed of this profitable foreign trade and the promise of independence, severely crippling the island nation and her morale. The first policies implemented by Japan were designed to control the …

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 …

Reflections On The Development Of A Chinese-American Literature Course, Ling Ma

Chinese Language Teaching Methodology and Technology

Chinese-American literature are an important part of Chinese literature and a literary genre of great cultural and social significance. Chinese-American literary works not only showcase international perspectives and the development of social and cultural issues, but also provide profound reflections on current international situations, social conditions, and human emotions, thereby enhancing readers' understanding and in-depth knowledge of the Chinese-American community. However, the reality is that American students have little knowledge of Chinese-American literature and are unaware of how to explore it. The author attempts to incorporate Chinese-American literature into Chinese language teaching curriculum to help students develop a preliminary understanding …
