abstract:Su Shi’s endorsement of an enigmatic artisan named Pan Gu as “the Ink Immortal” adumbrates the Chinese cultural valorization of ink production during and after the Song period. I parse the poet’s two-part effort to transform ink making into a legitimate field of scholarly endeavor in order to defend poets’ autonomy. In Su Shi’s view, such autonomy depends on controlling the tools that sustain literary self-expression. Resisting the passive position of a consumer, Su first identifies with and then comes to impersonate the artisan’s productive body. This pose was, however, predicated on Su’s struggle to influence the marketing of ink through verse and innovative strategies of inscription. After Su Shi, an inkstick was no longer simply a tool for the production of literature but a venue where distinctions between writing and craft could be transformed—a contested subject and substrate of literary art.䷃锣:本文通過蘇軾有關墨師潘谷的詩作來探討宋代文人與墨工之間的互動關係。蘇軾通過讚揚墨工的自主性以反思文人的身份,其對玩墨與造墨的記載揭示了書寫工具對詩歌創新的影響。從蘇軾筆下之潘谷的形象演变中,我們可以看到一種中國古代特有的媒介自覺性。

Like every good monograph, it also prompts new questions for future study. For example, did the history of aesthetic education follow the same trajectory in colonial Taiwan and Korea as the one this book chronicles on the Japanese home islands? And did the transnational movement of ideas about aesthetic education ever flow in the other direction—from East to West—during this time period?

To glide past them is to glide past controversy—a politically astute account is not exactly comprehensive. Chinese Architecture is an invaluable contribution to the field. This well-written epic overview of China’s monumental building tradition will not likely be surpassed in its central endeavor anytime soon. Most emerging and midcareer scholars cannot hope to master for themselves the subject matter of this book in a more comprehensive way, given the declining research opportunities contemporary academia presents. This book is a worthy crown to Steinhardt’s remarkable career of scholarship. Where one path has reached its logical termination, however, others may begin.

For example, Yang Fuji 楊復吉 (1747–1820), who compiled five additional installments (ca. 1774–ca. 1816) in Zhaodai congshu after Zhang Chao’s, only had the colophons from the work printed in his lifetime. For the well-educated class, attitudes toward how knowledge should be preserved, presented, and transmitted changed from imperial to post-imperial times. On the other hand, similarities in who the compilers were and how the work of compilation was organized are also striking. Educated individuals, for more than half a century after the fall of the Qing, retained authority over the production and transmission of knowledge, past and present. Taken together, these two well-researched and perceptive books show how, over time, certain uses of print became very different as Chinese society and culture underwent radical changes, while other uses evinced continuities.

In 1964, Princeton University Press published an edited volume of conference papers titled Political Modernization in Japan and Turkey.1 A brief comparison of its chapters on education with Raja Adal’s monograph, which pairs Japan with a different eastern Mediterranean country, allows for some preliminary observations concerning the arc of historical scholarship on education and modernization in Japan and beyond during the ensuing fifty-five years. Writing during the formative period of area studies and the apogee of modernization theory, contributors to the Princeton volume approach modernization as “a process of long-range cultural and social change accepted by members of the changing society as beneficial, inevitable, or on balance desirable.”2 Turkey and Japan are singled out for analysis because they share an “Asian background and culture” and avoided “outright colonial rule,” which enabled them to chart their own paths to modernization independently and selectively between the mid-nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries.3 These similarities notwithstanding, it is left to the reader to draw any meaningful comparisons between Ronald Dore’s entry on education in Japan and Frederick Frey’s chapter on education in Turkey.4
