Space and Place in Tao Qian’s Tianyuan Poetry 陶谦天元诗中的空间与场所

Abstract Tao Qian is one of the central figures in Chinese literary history and the founding father of the so-called tianyuan (farmstead) poetry. Traditionally, Tao’s writings have been read biographically, which has limited our understanding of their deeper structural and experiential dimensions. In this article, I turn my attention to the place-consciousness of his poetry and analyze how he repeatedly creates experiences of belonging in his verses. As a theoretical frame of reference, I utilize the concepts “space” and “place” as they are defined by Yi-Fu Tuan in his study Space and Place . In Tao’s tianyuan poetry, the surrounding, indefinite space turns constantly into a lived and meaningfully organized place which functions as the epicenter of the agrarian lifestyle and worldview. As I seek to demonstrate, a place is not only a physical location but is a complex and multilayered phenomenon that can appear as a means of knowing, a source of truthful living, and even as an event. In Tao’s writings, the experience of place is predominantly positive and empowering but can also at times cause feelings of loss and grief.
陶谦是中国文学史上的核心人物之一,也是田园诗的创始人。传统上,人们以传记的方式阅读道的作品,这限制了我们对其更深层次的结构和经验维度的理解。本文将目光转向他诗歌中的地方意识,分析他如何在诗歌中反复创造归属感体验。作为理论参照系,我使用了段义孚在《空间与场所》一书中所定义的“空间”和“场所”概念。在陶的天元诗中,周围的、不确定的空间不断地变成一个有生命的、有意义的组织场所,它是农业生活方式和世界观的中心。正如我试图证明的那样,一个地方不仅是一个物理位置,而且是一个复杂的、多层次的现象,它可以作为一种认识的手段,一种真实生活的来源,甚至是一个事件。在道的著作中,对地方的体验主要是积极的和赋予力量的,但有时也会导致失落和悲伤的感觉。

The Changing Landscape of Medieval Chinese Customs: Focusing on Sitting Positions 中国中世纪风俗的变迁:以坐姿为中心

Abstract From the Wei-Jin through Tang-Song periods, social structures and customs in China underwent great change. In the case of sitting positions, these periods saw a shift from the “floor-sitting era” prior to the Qin to the “era of raised sitting” following the Tang and Song dynasties. In the interim, there was a period where the seated squat (juzuo 踞坐 ) made an appearance. This position is depicted in the “Man seated on foreign stool” detail of the scroll painting, Bei Qi jiaoshu tu 北齊校 書圖 . During the Liu Song dynasty, monks at the Qihuan Temple ate in a seated squat and were vehemently lambasted by scholar-officials led by Fan Tai, instigating political debate around the sitting position. From a Confucian point of view, sitting positions are divided into two categories based on whether the calves or the bottoms of one’s feet touch the ground: the first includes kneeling, the sitting kneel, and the lotus positions, while the second includes squatting, sitting with legs outstretched, and the seated squat positions. Shifts in sitting positions reflect not only subtle changes taking place across various aspects of Chinese social customs and daily life, but also structural change on a systemic level. On the ideological front, obscure learning of the Wei and Jin dynasties exposed abuses of Confucian ethics. Compounded with the onslaught of foreign cultural influences such as Buddhism, it is no wonder, in this context of great historical upheaval, that efforts to preserve Confucianism would end in failure.
从魏晋到唐宋,中国的社会结构和风俗习惯发生了巨大的变化。就坐姿而言,这些时期见证了从秦朝之前的“落地式坐姿”到唐宋之后的“立坐式坐姿”的转变。在此期间,有一段时间出现了蹲坐(juzuo)。这个位置被描绘在卷轴画的“坐在外国凳子上的人”的细节中。刘宋时期,七环寺的和尚们坐着吃饭,受到了以范泰为首的士大夫们的猛烈抨击,引发了围绕坐姿的政治争论。从儒家的观点来看,坐姿根据小腿或脚底是否接触地面分为两类:第一种是跪着、坐着跪着和莲花坐姿;第二种是蹲着、伸腿坐着和坐着蹲着。坐姿的变化不仅反映了中国社会习俗和日常生活各方面的微妙变化,而且反映了系统层面的结构性变化。在思想战线上,魏晋的模糊学暴露了儒家伦理的弊端。再加上佛教等外来文化影响的冲击,在这一历史剧变的背景下,保存儒家思想的努力以失败告终也就不足为奇了。

The Interaction between Custom and Ritual in Chinese Society 中国社会习俗与仪式的互动

Abstract In traditional China’s complicated social system, the interaction between custom and ritual laid the foundation for a national political framework and local societal functions, and has continued to play a role in modern Chinese nation-building since the May Fourth Movement. The essence of this interaction is that it draws together national politics with non-governmental micropolitics; by engaging widespread support from across society, it ensures that society’s internal mechanisms function smoothly through a shared cultural identity, thereby eliminating real or potential social crises. Today, in a time of rapid globalization, all nations are faced with issues such as international regulations, national legal rights, and civil governance. Chinese traditional political wisdom and social mechanisms embedded in the interaction between custom and ritual may be useful.
在传统中国复杂的社会制度中,风俗与礼制的互动关系奠定了国家政治框架和地方社会功能的基础,并在五四以来的现代中国国家建设中继续发挥着作用。这种相互作用的实质是将国家政治与非政府微观政治结合在一起;通过获得全社会的广泛支持,它通过共享的文化认同确保社会内部机制顺利运行,从而消除现实或潜在的社会危机。在全球化快速发展的今天,各国都面临着国际法规、国家法律权利、公民治理等问题。中国传统的政治智慧和社会机制嵌入在习俗和仪式之间的互动可能是有用的。

Song Dynasty Family Rituals and the Reconstruction of Confucian Daily Life 宋代家庭礼制与儒家日常生活的重构
Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2023-10-24 DOI: 10.1163/23521341-12340159

Abstract The reconstruction of Confucianism during the Song dynasty is an important issue in the history of Chinese thought. Song scholar-officials not only introduced ideological innovations and founded the new type of Confucianist “School of Universal Principle” known as “Neo-Confucianism,” but also, in their reconstruction of Confucianism, attended to the specific rituals and introduced the concepts and values of the school into people’s daily life and habits. The observance of ritual privately at home – using ritual to “instruct” and “admonish” the family – became the way for scholar-officials to embody Confucian values effectively in daily life. Song family rituals developed differences from previous eras with respect to text, structure, and meaning. However, as rituals that comprehensively arranged the order of Confucian daily life, they were not merely a static Neo-Confucian text and system. Rather, scholar-officials’ ritual activities were always the concrete, dynamic aspect of the Confucian revival movement. Therefore, we must begin the discussion of family rituals from a wider perspective, first by exploring the motivation and goals of scholar-officials’ rituals. We will then discover how frustrated and compromised scholar-officials of the period felt when the pattern of daily life they had created proved difficult to accommodate to the real world. We will finally take note of the value system that this pattern was meant to demonstrate.
宋代儒学的重构是中国思想史上的一个重要问题。宋朝士大夫不仅在思想上进行创新,创立了被称为“理学”的新型儒学“天理学派”,而且在对儒学的重构中,还参与了具体的仪式,并将这一学派的观念和价值观引入人们的日常生活和习惯中。在家里私下遵守礼制——用礼制来“指导”和“告诫”家庭——成为士大夫在日常生活中有效体现儒家价值观的方式。宋代的家庭仪式在文本、结构和意义上都与以前的时代有所不同。然而,作为全面安排儒家日常生活秩序的仪式,它们不仅仅是一种静态的新儒家文本和制度。相反,士大夫的仪式活动一直是儒家复兴运动的具体的、动态的方面。因此,我们必须从更广阔的视野开始对家庭礼仪的讨论,首先要探究士大夫礼仪的动机和目的。然后我们会发现,当他们创造的日常生活模式被证明难以适应现实世界时,那个时期的士大夫们是多么沮丧和妥协。我们将最后注意到这个模式所要演示的价值体系。

The Characteristics of Rituals and Their Imprint on Chinese Culture 仪式的特征及其在中国文化中的烙印

Abstract The concept of li (rites) in ancient China encompasses three levels of meaning, namely: the rituals and ceremonies themselves, moral ethics, and a system of political hierarchy. While these three levels are related to each other, they each carry specific characteristics. When people today discuss issues such as the origins of rites, they rarely analyze the concept of rites according to these different levels, thus causing the topic at hand to be vague, ambiguous, and inchoate. In most research, both “rites” and the “rituals” refer specifically to the level of the ritual per se . “Rites” include both folk rituals and state rituals, the latter of which refers to what is commonly termed the “rituals,” that is, the part of rites with state background and political coercion. The fundamental difference between the rituals and other statutes and institutions lies in rituals’ performative, symbolic, and standardized nature. Their performative and symbolic nature bestowed upon the rites a special significance and publicity function which transcend everyday life. At the same time, their standardized and formulaic nature made these rites highly organized and institutionalized, while allowing them to reinforce the social and political hierarchy. The highly mature rituals in ancient China allowed both characteristics of these rituals to be developed to their fullest, thus giving rise to Chinese culture’s emphasis on performance and form.
中国古代礼的概念包含三个层次的含义,即:仪式本身、道德伦理和政治等级制度。虽然这三个层次是相互关联的,但它们都有各自的特点。今天人们在讨论礼的起源等问题时,很少从这些不同的层面来分析礼的概念,从而使手边的话题显得模糊、模棱两可、不成熟。在大多数研究中,“仪式”和“仪式”都特指仪式本身的层面。“礼”既包括民间仪式,也包括国家仪式,后者指的是通常所说的“仪式”,即具有国家背景和政治胁迫的仪式部分。仪式与其他法规和制度的根本区别在于仪式的表演性、象征性和规范性。仪式的表演性和象征性赋予了仪式超越日常生活的特殊意义和宣传功能。同时,它们的标准化和公式化使这些仪式高度组织化和制度化,同时使它们加强了社会和政治等级。中国古代礼仪的高度成熟,使这些礼仪的两个特点得到了充分的发展,从而形成了中国文化对表演和形式的重视。

Ethos and Karma: the Construction of Business Ethics and Social Ethics in Popular Novels from the 16th to 18th Centuries 气质与业力:16 - 18世纪通俗小说中商业伦理与社会伦理的建构

Abstract The common concept of karma and retribution in the general religious life of Chinese society was not only expressed in the popular literature that has flourished since the Song dynasty, but also reacted to society through the processing, refining, and deepening of popular fiction. Popular novels from the 16th to 18th centuries synchronized with the fresh ideas of New Chan Buddhism, New Daoism, and New Confucianism, which gradually developed an ethos and karma model. It used real life as a metaphor for explaining cause and effect in the construction of new business and social ethics that were urgently needed at the time. The business ethics it reflected and constructed not only included the affirmation of business and the advocacy of hard work to obtain wealth and promote fair competition, but also criticized blindly pursuing profits, especially emphasizing that wealth was determined by destiny and could not be forced. The core of the new social ethics was to establish rules connecting traditional morality and becoming rich, which not only stressed that scholars, farmers, craftsmen, and businessmen should do their parts, but also always put scholarly study as the highest pursuit; while criticizing social injustice, people still strongly desired to pass the imperial examination. This paper examines the great social changes that were occurring in the Ming dynasty, especially in the areas of business ethics and the perception of wealth, through popular literature from Ming China.
中国社会一般宗教生活中普遍存在的因果报应观念,不仅表现在宋朝以来蓬勃发展的通俗文学中,而且通过通俗小说的加工、提炼和深化,对社会做出了反应。16 - 18世纪的通俗小说与新禅宗、新道家和新儒学的新思想同步,逐渐形成了一种精神和因果模式。它以现实生活为隐喻,解释当时迫切需要的新的商业伦理和社会伦理建设的因果关系。它所反映和建构的商业伦理,既包括对商业的肯定,倡导勤劳致富,提倡公平竞争,又批判盲目追求利润,特别强调财富是命运决定的,不能强求。新社会伦理的核心是建立连接传统道德与致富的规则,它不仅强调学者、农民、工匠、商人应各司其职,而且始终把学术作为最高追求;在批评社会不公的同时,人们仍然强烈希望通过科举考试。本文通过明代的通俗文学考察了明代发生的巨大社会变革,特别是在商业伦理和财富观念方面。

Abstract The money culture of a given time and place can have a profound influence on literature, a medium that allows for the artistic expression of aesthetic taste. This article takes money culture as its analytical lens to explore the cultural transformation of literary concepts that were prevalent in Chinese novels. It will delve into the transition from agricultural production and lifestyles, which were focused on productive and consumptive survival, to industrialized production and lifestyles, which were centered on monetary survival. Additionally, it will trace the evolution from farming literature, which is rooted in Confucian morality, to commercial literature, which is characterized by themes of wealth, lust, and the search for novelty.
特定时代、特定地域的金钱文化对文学有着深远的影响,文学是审美情趣艺术表达的媒介。本文以金钱文化为分析视角,探讨中国小说中普遍存在的文学观念的文化转型。它将探讨从以生产和消费生存为中心的农业生产和生活方式向以货币生存为中心的工业化生产和生活方式的转变。此外,它将追溯从植根于儒家道德的农业文学到以财富、欲望和追求新奇为主题的商业文学的演变。

Abstract The arrival of postcolonial theory in China and the country’s global rise came with the realization that its self-image is often distorted by Western ideological discourse, conveyed through Western Sinology. Drawing from Edward Said’s Orientalism , some Chinese scholars have classified the ideological dimensions of Western Sinology as Sinologism, and have pointed out its implications for China’s capacity to think of itself on its own terms. The concept has sparked debate mainly inside Chinese academia about the objective quality of Western Sinology. This article will attempt a critical overview of two major formulations of Sinologism, underlining its major presuppositions and placing the notion in the broader context of China’s anxieties of “academic colonization” by Western intellectual practices. It will conclude by arguing that attempts to discredit Western Sinology rely on some problematic assumptions and suggests East-West comparative studies as an alternative way of dialectically constructing Chinese identity.
后殖民理论在中国兴起,中国在全球崛起的同时,也意识到中国的自我形象经常被西方意识形态话语扭曲,并通过西方汉学传达出来。一些中国学者借鉴萨义德的东方学,将西方汉学的意识形态维度归类为汉学,并指出其对中国以自己的方式思考自己的能力的影响。这一概念主要在中国学术界引发了关于西方汉学客观品质的争论。本文将尝试对汉学的两种主要表述进行批判性概述,强调其主要前提,并将这一概念置于中国对西方知识实践“学术殖民”的焦虑的更广泛背景中。文章最后认为,质疑西方汉学的尝试依赖于一些有问题的假设,并建议东西方比较研究作为辩证构建中国认同的另一种方式。
