This article traces one method of divination, Chinese character divination, from imperial China to contemporary Taiwan. The article proves that many of the techniques used in character divination today originally stem from imperial Chinese sources. It thus shows the continued significance of this method as a living tradition in contemporary Chinese-speaking countries. The article first gives a concise overview of early sources of character divination. It then focuses on three important works from late imperial China, namely the Zichu (Realising a Character’s True Meaning), parts of the Gujin tushu jicheng (Complete Collection of Old and Contemporary Diagrams and Writings), and the Cezi midie (Secret Documents on Fathoming Chinese Characters). In these materials, the treatment of character divination gradually changed from a loose description in short narratives to rigidly defined rules and regulations. Finally, the article juxtaposes these findings with the reality of Chinese character divination in contemporary Taiwan by analysing the results of fieldwork carried out in 2014 and 2015.

Missionaries Robert Morrison and William Milne founded the Anglo-Chinese College (ACC) in 1818 in Malacca, and it continued to operate there until 1843, when it relocated to Hong Kong. As the first Protestant school for Chinese and Europeans in Asia founded by the first two missionaries to China from the London Missionary Society, it has attracted much interest in cross-disciplinary missiological and historical studies, in the West and in the East, then and now; though few focus on its students, often giving scant details. This article provides an overview of the three types of ACC students from these earliest years, highlighting some prominent ones, including Walter Henry Medhurst, James Legge, Leang Fah and Ho Tsun-sheen. Drawing on many primary and secondary sources, it explores the activities and lives of these people in school and after graduation, in the hope of gaining new insights into the roles they played in Sino-Western cultural exchanges, dissemination of Christianity, and development of parts of Asia in the nineteenth century.
传教士马礼逊(Robert Morrison)和米威廉(William Milne)于 1818 年在马六甲创办了英华书院(ACC),并一直在那里办学,直到 1843 年迁至香港。作为伦敦传教会最早的两位来华传教士在亚洲创办的第一所面向中国人和欧洲人的新教学校,英华书院在当时和现在都引起了西方和东方跨学科传教士学和历史研究的极大兴趣;但很少有人关注它的学生,往往只提供很少的细节。本文概述了 ACC 最早时期的三类学生,重点介绍了一些杰出的学生,包括 Walter Henry Medhurst、James Legge、Leang Fah 和 Ho Tsun-sheen。文章利用许多第一手和第二手资料,探讨了这些人在学校和毕业后的活动和生活,希望能对他们在十九世纪中西文化交流、基督教传播和亚洲部分地区发展中所扮演的角色有新的认识。

This article aims to resolve the academic debate over the identity of the mysterious animal Sum Xu described in Michał Boym’s Flora sinensis. Through examining various Chinese sources published in the seventeenth century and the vocabulary they used to characterize creatures belonging to the Rodentia and Carnivora orders, the essay demonstrates that the animal at stake was most likely a weasel (Mustela), either Siberian (M. sibirica) or Japanese (M. itatsi), and that it was commonly known under the name song shu, even though in modern Mandarin this term is reserved for the squirrel. Additionally, the article investigates methodological problems arising from studying the import of Chinese terminology into the European context and suggests that scholars should consider the unstable linguistic diversity of Ming China when discussing the transfer of knowledge from the East to the West in the early modern period.

Western psychology, as introduced by Aristotle’s De anima in China, can be traced back to Lingyan lishao (Short Treatise on Matters Pertaining to the Soul), written by the Italian Jesuit Francesco Sambiasi (1582–1649) in 1624 in China. The aim of this article is to figure out the most important characteristics of Lingyan lishao by analyzing some fundamental metaphysical concepts which Sambiasi used to describe the soul and shed light on the question of how Sambiasi used the Aristotelian hylomorphic framework and the Coimbra Commentaries to rewrite Western psychology in Chinese. The first part provides a brief introduction of the sources which Sambiasi used in his Lingyan lishao. The second part considers immortality and the essence of the soul, and the capacities or faculties of the soul will be treated in the third part. Finally, in the fourth part, the transcendental goal of the soul will be discussed.
