Timothy Richard spent over forty years in China as a member of the English Baptist Missionary Society. His career has yet to be critically examined as a whole. This article focuses on an interregnum in its long span that Richard called “years of trial and suspense” (1886–1891), during which he clashed with his colleagues in Shanxi province over mission goals and methods. He insisted, for instance, that China’s “complete salvation” must consist of both soul and body. Despite the dual emphasis, however, in practice, he shifted more and more attention to matters of the body, that is, the needs of this life on earth. Herein lay the tensions of his approach. Ever mindful of the evangelical imperative, he distanced himself nonetheless from basic missionary activities like street-chapel preaching and sought to cultivate ties with the “upper classes” and utilize education and literature (translated and original) as tools for China’s “uplifting.” His message, audience, and method intersected a growing Chinese demand for change and rendered him relevant to the late Qing discourse of reform. As a pointer for future research, it is suggested that more Chinese sources are needed to illuminate and corroborate Richard’s account of his China experiences. Also, his cultural role will be better understood in a comparative context alongside the work of other Protestant figures.

Fung Asseng and Fung Ahok are the earliest Chinese ever to stay on the contemporary territory of Germany. All previous research on their biography contains, due to the narrowness of sources, numerous errors. The present article attempts to clarify the situation on the basis of newly discovered materials and is primarily concerned with the visit of the two Chinese to the home of the famous German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in 1822. In addition, the present article has broadened its horizons to include the other Chinese believed to have been exhibited during the early 19th century in Germany in order to rediscover a forgotten page of history.

Giovanni Stary, renowned expert on Manchu and Europe’s only ordinary professor of Manchu studies, at the University Ca’ Foscari at Venice, passed away on 19 October 2022, on account of heart failure. He had suffered a stroke in June 2009 that limited his activities and led to his resignation from the University on 1 November 2011. He had a major influence on the development of Manchu studies, mainly through his many publications and his frequent participation in international conferences and symposia. Although he had a number of gifted students, this did not lead to a revival of Manchu research in Italy. Giovanni Stary was born on 27 March 1946 in Merano (Meran), South Tyrol, a region to which he remained attached throughout his life. The family had roots in Bohemia, where the family name may have come from, and Giovanni told us that a grandmother came from Berlin. He was supposed to be called Hans, but immediately after the war a German name was forbidden in Italian Tyrol, and so hewas christenedGiovanni. His father, the typographerHeinrich Stary (1906–1977), collected Tyrolensia and stamps, and he passed this philatelic hobby on to his son. His mother, Grete Moser (1906–1977), looked after the household. Stary attended grammar school in Bressanone (Brixen), where he was particularly impressed by his teacher and headmaster, the Sinologist Martin Benedikter (1908–1969), who later on became a professor of Sinology in Padua. Stary’s inclination towards China, which had been ignited by stamps and travel descriptions, was encouraged by his teacher; however, Benedikter also advised him to choose Eastern Europe as a subject of study, probably taking into account the career prospects at the time. After graduating from high school, Stary did his military service Giovanni Stary, ca. 2003 (courtesy of the family) Monumenta Serica: Journal of Oriental Studies, 71. 1, 217–225, June 2023
Giovanni Stary是威尼斯Ca ' Foscari大学著名的满语专家，也是欧洲唯一的普通满语研究教授，于2022年10月19日因心力衰竭去世。他于2009年6月中风，限制了他的活动，并导致他于2011年11月1日从大学辞职。他对满族研究的发展产生了重大影响，主要是通过他的许多出版物和他经常参加国际会议和专题讨论会。虽然他有一些有天赋的学生，但这并没有导致意大利满文研究的复兴。Giovanni Stary于1946年3月27日出生在南蒂罗尔的Merano (Meran)，这是他一生都依恋的地区。这个家族起源于波西米亚，这个姓氏可能就是从那里来的。乔瓦尼告诉我们，有一位祖母来自柏林。他本来应该叫汉斯，但战争一结束，德国名字在意大利的蒂罗尔是被禁止的，所以他被命名为乔瓦尼。他的父亲海因里希·斯塔里(heinrich Stary, 1906-1977)是一名印刷工人，他收集印钞机和邮票，并把这个集邮爱好传给了儿子。他的母亲格蕾特·莫泽(1906-1977)负责照顾家庭。史泰里在布雷萨诺内(Brixen)的文法学校上学，在那里他的老师和校长——汉学家马丁·本尼迪克特(Martin Benedikter, 1908-1969)给他留下了特别深刻的印象，他后来成为帕多瓦的汉学教授。史泰里对中国的兴趣是由邮票和游记点燃的，他的老师鼓励了他;然而，本尼迪克特也建议他选择东欧作为研究主题，可能是考虑到当时的职业前景。高中毕业后，Stary服兵役。Giovanni Stary, ca. 2003(由其家人提供)《纪念碑》:东方研究杂志，71页。[j] .中文信息学报，2016年6月

This article analyzes concepts of factual narration in the Kongcongzi, a text that thus far has received little scholarly attention. The author argues that the text indicates a pronounced interest in this subject, and presents different points of view. The first ten chapters of the Kongcongzi tend to manifest a lenient attitude towards narrative factuality, whereas in Chapters Twelve to Twenty-one, the distinction between facts and falsehood seems to become increasingly important. Through a comparative analysis of narratives from both groups of chapters, the author attempts to explore the protagonists’ views on the meaning and purpose of factual narration. The author also explores various conclusions that can be drawn from these insights in the context of the textual history of the Kongcongzi and our understanding of early Chinese narrative prose in general.

This article examines Xu Qian (1871–1940), a prominent figure in the Republican period and the changes in his theological thought. I explain why Xu’s theological thought can be called a germinating version of “liberation theology” in China and argue that a number of factors influenced his theological thought in the context of his time, his understanding of science being a key factor. I analyze how science interacts with his understanding of Christianity in his Christian journey. I find that Xu’s Christian journey is a gradual process of eliminating the supernatural components, culminating in the conclusion that the only function of Christianity is to save the nation, and that this process of change is inseparable from his expanded understanding of “science.” The relevance of Xu’s example for today is that the expanded understanding of “science” still exists. I conclude with a suggestion for a broader exploration of the meaning of science.

As Hangzhou became the capital of the Southern Song Empire, new villas and palaces with parks were built for the imperial family in the city and on the shores of the West Lake. Emperors bestowed the parks and villas on important politicians, some related to the imperial family or to the empresses’ families. When politicians were downgraded or died, the emperors confiscated the parks and retransferred them to members of the imperial family. Apart from this political function, parks were assigned to specific uses, be it recreation and amusement or ceremonial purposes. Some parks came to be neglected or rededicated as nurseries to provide other parks with plants or timber. Yet most were famous not only for their horticultural accessories but also for their rock arrangements and artificial lakes, which imitated in miniature the West Lake scenery, requiring adequate management of their water supply system.
