Ritual and Music of North China
The rich local traditions of musical life in rural China are still little known. Music-making in village society is largely ceremonial, and shawm bands account for a significant part of such music. This is the first major ethnographic study of Chinese shawm bands in their ceremonial and social context. Based in a poor county in Shanxi province in northwestern China, Stephen Jones describes the painful maintenance of ceremonial and its music there under Maoism, its revival with the market reforms of the 1980s and its modification under the assault of pop music since the 1990s. Part One of the text explains the social and historical background by outlining the lives of shawm band musicians in ...
Pharmaceutical Strategies to Prevent, Treat, and Recover: Advances and Challenges in Ischemic Stroke and Hemorrhagic Stroke
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Among them, ischemic stroke is attributed to an abrupt blockage of blood flow to brain, while hemorrhagic stroke is caused by bleeding into brain. The principal aim of stroke therapy is to decrease mortality and reduce persistent neurologic injury and long-term disability. It also targets to prevent complications and recurrence after stroke as well as minimize the brain function loss caused by the cerebral damage. Fortunately, many strokes could be prevented through healthy lifestyle changes and controlling stroke risk factors, such as cigarette or tobacco smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease. Carotid endarterectomy and stenting of the cervical and intracranial vessels may help reduce recurrent stroke in some cases. Advanced treatments and rehabilitation are helping many stroke patients return to society and their families.
Essays on Language Function and Language Type
In their subject matter and in their theoretical orientation all the papers in this volume reflect the powerful influence of T. Givón. Most of them deal with questions of morphosyntactic typology, pragmatics, and grammaticalization theory. Many of them are directly based on extensive fieldwork on local languages of the Americas, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific. Others are based on statistical analyses of extensive written and spoken corpora of texts.
Chinese Dialectics
Dialectical thought is at the core of Karl Marx's work and all subsequent attempts to build on his legacy: Marxism. And, arguably, Marx's special departure into dialectics represents an anomaly in that tradition and all of Western philosophy. Marxism finds its philosophers in the academy; in trade unions; in former soviet states; in industrial and non-industrial nations and this makes it distinct from all other modern philosophies. It is certainly the most international modern philosophical movement. Chinese Dialectics From Yijing to Marxism is an unparalleled investigation into the conversation between Western Marxism and Chinese, or Eastern Marxism. An autochthonous version of Marxism pers...
The Peak Time of Entertainment in China
This book is the most detailed study to date on the entertainment system in the Tang Dynasty (618-907AD) of China. It discusses entertainment institutions not only of the local and central governments, but also of city commoners. There are many kinds of performers mentioned in the stories and historical materials of the Tang, which has led to some confusion with institutions left over from the Song Dynasty (960-1279AD). This book clarifies such issues, in addition to resolving the question of the origin of Ci in ancient Chinese art and literature.
