Disciplinary Rituals in Dunhuang Buddhism
Drawing on Dunhuang manuscripts and the latest scholarship in Dunhuang and Buddhist Studies, this translation analyzes Buddhist monasticism via such topics as the organizational forms of Dunhuang Buddhist monasteries, the construction and operation of ordination platforms, ordination certificates and government ordination licenses, and meditation retreats, etc. Assuming a pan-Asian perspective, the monograph also made trailblazing contributions to the study of Buddhist Sinicization and Sino-Indian cultural exchanges and is bound to exert long-lasting influences on the worldwide academic study of Buddhism.
台灣光華雜誌2022年4月號中英文版
早期的農業社會，人們常以節慶作為劃分時間的座標，例如春節、端午、中秋、冬至⋯⋯等等，除了具有「祈福」、「消災」、「團聚」的特質，更有農忙後「休整」的意味，而媽祖信仰則因跨族群、跨地域的特性，在傳來台灣後，逐漸與本土文化結合，衍生出各式各項的慶典文化與遶境進香活動。 2010年文化部文化資產局登錄「大甲媽祖遶境進香」、「北港朝天宮迎媽祖」、「白沙屯媽祖進香」為我國國定的重要民俗活動。本期《光華》封面故事將以媽祖在台之獨特性、具代表性之建築工藝、朝聖影像之經典時刻，以及外國人士的進香體驗等，呈現出媽祖文化在台延續至今之樣貌。
Contemporary Brain Research in China
The great majority of papers on brain research that have been published in Mainland China in recent years have appeared in the Chinese language (only a small fraction of the work has appeared in English in the journal Scientia Sinica), and hence they have remained inacces sible to other workers, since there have been no translation programs of publications in this field in Chinese of the types that have existed, for example, for Russian-language materials. Accordingly, most investigators are not aware of the work of their Chinese colleagues in this field. Yet the field has been an active if small one in China, and has covered a variety of topics that include electrophysiology, neurochemistry, neuropharmacology, neuropsychology, and in strumentation. Standard techniques and instruments, a number of Chinese manufacture, have been employed. Moreover, Chinese workers have been quite familiar with the publications of other investigators, as is readily apparent from the bibliographies of the papers (see Index).
The Mongols
" In 1891 you, as Chairman of the Civil Service Commission, were in Washington. I had just returned to that city from a work of two years among Pacific Coast Indians. Of these, two tribes in California had asked me to intercede for them with the President, who in those days was Benjamin Harrison. These Indians were among the truly wretched and suffering. One tribe of them had been almost exterminated through a massacre inflicted by white men. The other reduced to a feeble remnant through various man-killing processes. Still they were worthy of earnest attention. Their myths have a beauty and a value which should preserve them till literature perishes. These two tribes were the Wintu and the Yana whose account of the world and its origin I published later on in “Creation Myths of Primitive America.”
Ancient Sichuan and the Unification of China
Recent archaeological finds in China have made possible a reconstruction of the ancient history of Sichuan, the country's most populous province. Excavated artifacts and new recovered texts now supplement traditional textual materials. Together, these data show how Sichuan matured from peripheral obscurity to attain central importance in the Chinese empire during the first millennium B.C.
Ethnic Identity in Tang China
Ethnic Identity in Tang China is the first work in any language to explore comprehensively the construction of ethnicity during the dynasty that reigned over China for roughly three centuries, from 618 to 907. Often viewed as one of the most cosmopolitan regimes in China's past, the Tang had roots in Inner Asia, and its rulers continued to have complex relationships with a population that included Turks, Tibetans, Japanese, Koreans, Southeast Asians, Persians, and Arabs. Marc S. Abramson's rich portrait of this complex, multiethnic empire draws on political writings, religious texts, and other cultural artifacts, as well as comparative examples from other empires and frontiers. Abramson argu...
The Mongols : A History
"The Mongols: A History" by Jeremiah Curtin is an in-depth exploration of the Mongol Empire and its impact on the world. Curtin, an eminent historian and ethnographer, offers a detailed analysis of the origins, conquests and culture of the Mongols, spanning a period from the 12th to the 14th century. The book is preceded by a preface by Theodore Roosevelt, underlining the historical and cultural importance of the Mongol Empire. Curtin begins by describing the rise of the Mongols under the leadership of Genghis Khan, uniting the nomadic tribes of the Eurasian steppe into a formidable military force. The author examines the innovative military strategies and tactics that enabled the Mongols to...
