Lost Soul
Since the mid-1980s, Taiwan and mainland China have witnessed a sustained resurgence of academic and intellectual interest in ruxue—“Confucianism”—variously conceived as a form of culture, an ideology, a system of learning, and a tradition of normative values. This discourse has led to a proliferation of contending conceptions of ruxue, as well as proposals for rejuvenating it to make it a vital cultural and psycho-spiritual resource in the modern world. This study aims to show how ruxue has been conceived in order to assess the achievements of this enterprise; to identify which aspects of ru thought and values academics find viable, and why; to highlight the dynamics involved in the...

The Classics of Surprising Strategies; 经世奇谋 Jing Shi Qi Mou
The book is a classic of wisdom compiled by Yu Lin, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty. It chooses famous characters and stories in Chinese history. The collection is as famous as Feng Menglong's The Think Tank. Because the stories collected are all ingenious schemes, it has been misunderstood as a bypass and imprisoned for a long time. In fact, this book provides us with a wealth of historical knowledge and profound strategies to govern the world. By drawing lessons from the wisdom of the ancients in life, such as prevention of danger, acting on camera, responding at random, changing dangers into barbarians, relieving hardships and so on, we can gain the truth and experience of life, so that the world can become wise, sober and open-minded. The book also chooses a large number of classical stories about self-cultivation, family unity, governing the country and peace of the world, especially elaborating on the strategy and experience of living in the world, which still has certain enlightening significance at present.
The Mythistorical Chinese Scholar-Rebel-Advisor Li Yan
Roger Des Forges here examines the puzzle of Li Yan, a Chinese scholar who advised the rebel Li Zicheng (1605-1645), and helped him to overthrow the Ming, only to die at his hands. For more than three centuries, Li Yan’s identity and even existence were seriously questioned. Then, in 2004, there was discovered a genealogical manuscript which includes a Li Yan (1606-1644). He now appears to be the principal historical reality behind the Li Yan story, which became a powerful metaphor for the rise and fall of Li Zicheng’s rebellion. Offering a fresh theory of Chinese and world history, the author elucidates Li Yan’s historical significance by comparing and contrasting him with similar figures in other times and places around the globe.
