Longmen's Stone Buddhas and Cultural Heritage

This thoroughly researched book provides the first comprehensive history of how a UNESCO World Heritage site on the Central China Plain, Longmen’s caves and the Buddhist statuary of Luoyang, was rediscovered in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Drawing on original research and archival sources in Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, and Swedish, as well as extensive fieldwork, Dong Wang traces the ties between cultural heritage and modernity, detailing how this historical monument has been understood from antiquity to the present. She highlights the manifold traffic and expanded contact between China and other countries as these nations were reorienting themselves in order to adapt their own cultural traditions to newly industrialized and industrializing societies. Unknown to much of the world, Longmen and its mesmerizing modern history takes readers to the heartland of China, known as “Chinese Babylon” a century ago. With remarkable depth and breadth, this book unravels both a bygone and a continuing human pursuit of artefacts—shared, spiritual, modern, and above all beautiful that have linked so many lives, Chinese and foreign.

This study in German offers profound insights into the life and thoughts of Wang Guowei (1877-1927). Like many intellectuals who strongly perceived the necessity of reforms in the waning years of the Late Qing dynasty, i.e. after the Opium wars, Wang sought to strengthen China's position against foreign, in particular Western, powers. Contrary to earlier approaches, which either advocated a close adherence to Confucian traditions or tried to adapt only elements of Western material culture, mainly industrial and military technology, Wang Guowei aimed at reviving traditional Chinese culture by analysing its source texts using a modern scientific approach (and thereby started the discipline of guoxue [national studies]) and simultaneously adapting compatible elements of Western immaterial culture. Thus, Wang became known as an authority on Chinese paleography as well as on German philosophy, especially Kantian epistomology.

Neural Mechanism and Effect of Acupuncture for Central Nervous System Diseases

Central nervous system (CNS) diseases, such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, vascular dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, bulbar palsy, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, brain tumor, cerebral palsy, headache, migraine, epilepsy, depression, anxiety, etc., involve complex neural mechanism, and seriously affect quality of life and threaten life safety in patients with these disorders. Multiple neural techniques, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, electroencephalography, etc., provide powerful tools for uncovering complex networks of neural mechanism and exploring key potential biomarkers to reveal the underlying neural feature of those disorders.
