A Handbook of Chinese Cultural Terms

This handbook is specially designed to meet the needs of both Chinese and English readers, researchers, and translators who are interested in Chinese culture. The Chinese cultural terms included in this book cover almost all the aspects of Chinese culture, literary, artistic, religious, philosophical, folkloric, classical, vernacular and so on. As many of them have not their English equivalents, the authors have tried to find the corresponding English terms for them as much as possible so that they can be conductive to the readers' grasp of the Chinese cultural terms and phrases when they read or translate a Chinese book about Chinese culture. This book is indispensible and very useful to sinologists, Chinese-English translators and tour guides.

Redefining Heresy and Tolerance

In Redefining Heresy and Tolerance, Hung Tak Wai examines how the Qing empire governed Muslims and Christians under its rule with a non-interventionist policy. Manchu emperors adopted a tolerant attitude towards Islam and Christianity as long as political stability and loyalty remained unthreatened. However, Hung argues that such tolerance had its limitations. Since the mid-eighteenth century, the Qing court intentionally minimised the importance of the Islamic identity. Restrictions were imposed on the Muslims’ external connections with Western Asia. The Christian minority was kept distant from politics and the Han majority. At the same time, Confucian scholars began to acquire a new unde...

What did it mean for them to "make a living" out of poetry? Zhang Hongsheng answers those questions in this comprehensive study of the Rivers and Lakes Poetry Movement (Jianghu shipai).

REBIRTH OF THE GENTLENESS PART 14

Wen Wan stretched out her ten long and slender fingers, everyone stared at the diamond ring on her finger. Although the ring was very ordinary, Wen Wan liked it very much. Her tone was also very sweet: “This is a wedding gift from my husband (outside, I don’t usually call him husband). The ring doesn’t have any design, but this diamond ring is also called a diamond ring, which means never leaving or abandoning, the promise is eternal and unchanging, so I like it very much.” Wen Wan called him husband, not County Horse. Everyone could hear the joy and happiness in Wen Wan’s words. It was also because of Wen Wan’s words that the diamond of Da Qi was completely renamed diamond. It also made diamond rings instantly popular throughout the capital. Anyone who was about to get married would order a pair of good diamond rings, and give them to the bride on their wedding night. Of course, this was a story for later.
