The concept of “Sanskritization” was found useful by me in the analysis of the social and religious life of the Coorgs of South India. A few other anthropologists who are making studies of tribal and village communities in various parts of India seem to find the concept helpful in the analysis of their material, and this fact induces me to attempt a re-examination of it here.

concluding sections of the work describe in chronological order the establishment of granaries, the activities of officials entrusted with supervising the salt and iron monopolies, emperors who were either in favor of or against the imbibing of wines, the mining of copper, jade, and gold, commodity prices, currency issuance and standardization after the revocation of Wang Mang's fiscal innovations, and population fluctuations. This reviewer recommends this slender volume on Later Han economics, as it is an invaluable repository of fairly inaccessible references to a hitherto inadequately investigated subject.

A more literal version, In the dead willow cicadas din. In the western sky one red star begins to shine, suggests a political context! Akaboshi in poetry, however, normally means Venus as the morning star (being interpreted as ake no hoshi rather than akaki hoshi, although the character "red" is sometimes used). Kareyanagi is not attested before 1825. Semishigure ("cicada-shower," in reference to their noisy song) is a figure introduced by the haiku poets. Nishizora, too, strikes a modern note. Both poems mix seasons, making them additionally suspect. Last and least, yomibito shirazu as a designation of anonymous authorship is appropriate only to poems of the Heian period. Here is a puzzle for explicators!
更确切的说法是，枯柳里蝉鸣。在西方的天空中，一颗红星开始闪耀，暗示着政治背景!然而，在诗歌中，Akaboshi通常意味着金星作为晨星(被解释为ake no hoshi而不是akaki hoshi，尽管有时也使用“红色”这个字)。Kareyanagi在1825年之前没有得到证实。半蝉(“蝉雨”，指的是它们嘈杂的歌声)是俳句诗人引入的一个形象。西监也有现代风格。两首诗都混合了季节，使他们更加可疑。最后也是最不重要的一点，作为匿名作者的名称，yomibito shirazu只适用于平安时代的诗歌。这里有一个解释者的难题!

The Literature of Japanese Education, 1945-1954. Comp. WALTER CROSBY EELLS. Hamden, Conn.: The Shoe String Press, 1955. viii, 210. Index. $5.00. This work is a bibliography of 1,428 items written in English during the past decade which have some bearing on education in Japan. Included in the list are books, chapters, theses, dissertations, articles, and book reviews. Most of the items deal with postwar educational reforms, and a considerable number of them were written by individuals who were connected with the Civil Information and Education Section of SCAP, as was the compiler who was Advisor on Higher Education. The literature dealt with is not as impressive as the number of entries might suggest, for the reference to Japanese education in some of them is incidental. Furthermore, three-quarters of the items are articles, many only a page or two in length, and reviews, also very brief. The literature in western languages other than English is ignored, and none of the extensive literature in Japanese is listed, for the compiler says: "So few Americans read Japanese that it seemed undesirable to include publications available only in that language, significant as they may be otherwise" (p. v). Under most of the entries there is some annotation, which is explanatory or descriptive, but not critical. Some information about the authors is generally provided there.

In a paper that appeared some time ago, I suggested that Chang Ping-lin (1868-1936) spared the Classics by condemning the Throne. K'ang Yu-wei (1858-1927), the intellectual leader of the fin-de-siècle monarchist Reformers, had tied his radical prescriptions for Chinese society and culture to a highly personal reading of old texts, especially the Kung-yang chuan, one of two long-overshadowed alternates to the Tso-chuan as the key to the meaning of the Ch'unch'iu, the Spring and Autumn annals. His exploitation of the Kung-yang chuan, in turn, depended on the discrediting of a whole class of texts to which the Tsochuan belonged, the so-called ku-wen or “ancient-text” Classics, accepted as the orthodox canon since the end of the Later Han dynasty. Unlike the ku-wen Classics, to whose prototypes orthodox Confucian tradition attributed a pre- Ch'in antiquity, the Kung-yang chuan existed only in a Han (hence, chin-wen or “modern-text”) version, allegedly a faithful reconstruction of an early original.

One of the important keys to understanding twentieth-century developments in Central Asia—especially in Buriat Mongolia, Outer Mongolia, and Tibet—is an appreciation of the important role played by the Buriat Mongolian intelligentsia. The Buriats, in the words of one of them, " … constituted the cultural avant-garde among the Mongolian tribes, introducing and leading the revolutionary ideas of our time…” Buriat Mongolia, now an Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic of the Soviet Union, includes in its population less than 300,000 Buriats, roughly one-tenth of the total Mongolian population of the world. From this small group, most of whom were illiterate before 1917, arose a group of intellectuals whose influence extended beyond the borders of their homeland to Outer Mongolia and Tibet, and to the smaller areas of Barga (in Manchuria) and Urianghai (incorporated in 1943 into the USSR as the Tannu Tuva Autonomous Oblast'). This Buriat intelligentsia was particularly influential from about 1900 to 1930; in the thirties most of them were purged—killed or sent to concentration camps.
