The Guodian Bamboo Slips Lao Zi
The 85 Lao Zi bamboo slips from around 300 B. C. E. are the earliest texts of what later became known as the Tao Te King. They also contain the-until now-unknown Taoist narrative of Creation 'Great One gave Birth to Water.' These texts are very original and not yet intermingled with Confucian philosophy, governance, or ethics.This English translation presents the Tao Bamboo Slips in modern simplified Chinese characters, with commentaries and a comparison of the modern Chinese version to the old characters. This bilingual Chinese-English publication is a contribution to the crosscultural visions and values of the New SiIk Road of the 21st century. (Series: Practical Ethics-Documentation / Ethik in der Praxis-Materialien, Vol. 16) [Subject: Confucianism, Chinese Studies, Philosophy]

Suspended Music
The Chinese made the world's first bronze chime-bells, which they used to perform ritual music, particularly during the Shang and Zhou dynasties (ca. 1700-221 B.C.). Lothar von Falkenhausen's rich and detailed study reconstructs how the music of these bells—the only Bronze Age instruments that can still be played—may have sounded and how it was conceptualized in theoretical terms. His analysis and discussion of the ritual, political, and technical aspects of this music provide a unique window into ancient Chinese culture. This is the first interdisciplinary perspective on recent archaeological finds that have transformed our understanding of ancient Chinese music. Of great significance to the understanding of Chinese culture in its crucial formative stage, it provides a fresh point of departure for exploring later Asian musical history and offers great possibilities for comparisons with music worldwide.
Chang Cai and the House of Hong
Chang Cai and the House of Hong is the story of Chang Cai, a woman who shows unquenchable grit in the face of the government's repeated malfeasance and the dereliction and cruelty of her husband, an irresponsible layabout with a fondness for drugs and loose women whom she married when she was only sixteen. He is the heir apparent to the fortune of the House of Hong, a hugely successful business enterprise beholden to the Communist regime. They live behind eight-foot walls, protected by their private uniformed guards in a mansion situated in an affluent part of Shanghai. The setting of the story is post-revolution China, but it could just as easily take place in any country where the government interferes excessively in the affairs of the people and favors the influential and well-to-do over those who do without. Neglected and abused by her husband, Chang Cai finds love quite by chance when she goes to the theater one evening and meets the actor Kang Kehuan, a man who restores her faith in humanity and gives her a new lease on life.
