On the cult of Chang San-feng and the authenticity of his works
Get PDFChang San Feng was a Taoist master who Has honoured by the Taoist inclined Emperors T'ai-tsu (reigned 1368--1398),
Ch'eng-tsu(reigned 1403-1424) and Ying-tsung (reigned 1436-1449, 1457-1464) of the Ming dynasty, The first two emperors
dispatched delegates to invite him to court, but he never Pesponded to imperial invitation. Many legends were woven around him and he was transmuted into an immortal. As his biography in the Ming-shih remarks, no one knew when he died. It is also problematic whether he was a historical figure or not. This thesis is an attempt to reveal the true facts about this noted Taoist. This study consists of two parts. The first part, an examination and review of the biographical accounts of Chang San-feng as found in important historical compilations, local histories of the Ming dynasty and literary notes written by Ming authors, reflects the evolution of
his biography from one of the earliest extant records, which was written
during the Hsuan-te reign (1426-1435), to its inclusion into the Ming-shih, and reveals the discrepancies existing in many records, Evidence is cited to prove that some sayings concerning Chang San-feng
are unfounded. By making use of comparatively reliable biographical accounts and analysing the records relating to the imperial search for Chang San-feng,
which is a historical fact, it is argued that it is possible that Chang
San-feng was a historical figure. Also, the dates of one of the disciples
of Chang San-feng, and the discontinuation of Emperor Ch'eng-tsu's search
for the Taoist, lead to the deduction that Chang San-feng lived approximately
between the Yen-yu period (1314-1320) and 1419, Part II of this thesis is an investigation into the authenticity
of the Chang San-feng ch 'Uan-chi, the complete works attributed to Chang San-fengo Nany ser'ious discrepancies existing in
these works have been cliscover·ed, namely, the appearance of historical
persons and mention of historical facts in periods remote from the time
when Chang San-feng was believed to have flourished, anti-Taoist overtones,
resentment against Emperor Ch'eng-tsu, a sentiment incapable of finding
expression in the time and milieu of Chang San-feng dnd anachronistic
use of terms and names of places current during the Ch'ing period. All
these serve to betray that these works are spurious, and chat they were
forged or produced from planchette writing by Ch'ing Taoist devotees.
Such clues also indicate that some of them were written by an unknown
author in late Ming period To sum up Chang San-feng was not the author of these works

Novel Dialogue 3.1: On Being Unmoored: Chang-rae Lee Charts Fiction with Anne Anlin Cheng (SW)
No full textSeason three of Novel Dialogue launches in partnership with Public Books and introduces some fresh new voices into the mix. John and Aarthi welcome Chris Holmes, Emily Hyde, Tara Menon, and Sarah Wasserman into the ND pod as guest hosts. And have they brought a series of scintillating conversations with them! In our series premiere, Sarah sits down with acclaimed novelist Chang-rae Lee and Anne Anlin Cheng, renowned scholar of American literature and visual culture at Princeton. The conversation goes small and goes big: from the shortest short story to the totalizing effects of capitalism. Chang-rae is no stranger to such shifting scales: his novels sweep through large stretches of time and space, but their attention to detail and meticulous prose makes for an intimate reading experience. Chang-rae's latest novel, My Year Abroad, fuels a discussion about how we can form meaningful bonds in current conditions (hint: it's often around a table) and about the specters of other, better worlds that haunt Chang-rae's fictions. He discusses his relationship to his own work and the benefits of taking an "orbital view" on his writing. Chang-rae also offers a tantalizing glimpse into his current project, a semi-autobiographical novel about Korean-American immigrants in 1970s New York. In response to a brand new signature question for the podcast this season, Chang-rae reveals the talent he wishes he could suddenly have--one that Anne already possesses
“Feng-ya-cheng-pian” and Traditional Interpretation of “Book of Songs”
No full text今人詮釋《詩經》，雖多以不在重視「風雅正變」之說，然「風雅正變」說在《詩經》詮釋傳統中實具有相當重要之地位，並曾產生極為深遠之影響。本文針對《詩經》詮釋傳統中之「風雅正變」說加以探討，全文主要分為以下四節：一、「風雅正變」說釋義。二、「風雅正變」說之起源問題論考。三、「風雅正變」說之解經特質。四、「風雅正變」說之流衍與反動。本文結論認為《詩經》「風雅正變」說在《毛詩．關雎．序》（世稱〈詩大序〉）中已略具雛形，至鄭玄解《詩》乃大加敷衍 ;其說具有「寓作於述」、「強調《詩經》鑑誡功能」、「說經務求融通」等解經特質。又自漢，歷經魏、晉至唐，在《詩經》詮釋上，「風雅正變」說皆居於主導之地位。宋代疑經風氣興起，此說乃受到批評，爾後質疑者代不乏人。透過本文之探討，期對「風雅正變」說之含義、起源、解經特質及流衍等，有較具系統之瞭解。Even though most people today tend to overlook the idea of “feng-ya-cheng-pian” (風雅正變) when interpreting the Book of Songs, this concept played an important role in and had a major influence on traditional interpretation of the Book of Songs. In light of this, this paper attempts to reach a clearer understanding of this concept by looking at its meaning, origin, characteristics, and development of the concept. Discussion in this paper is divided into four sections, as follows: 1. the meaning of “feng-ya-cheng-pain”; 2. the origin of the term; 3. characteristics of the concept; 4. the development of and the reaction against the concept. Herein we conclude that the notion “feng-ya-cheng-pian” appears in a preliminary form in the “mao-shih-kuan-chu-hsu” (more commonly referred to as the “shih-ta-hsu”) and was fully fleshed out by the time of Cheng Hsuan's commentary on the Book of Songs. It characteristics include tendencies to “cloak interpretation in description”, “an emphasis on the prescriptive role of the Book of Songs”, and “an emphasis to achieve overall consistency in intepretation of the classics”. This notion played a primary role in interpretation of the Book of Songs from the Han Dynasty, through the Wei and Chin Dynasties, and into the Tang Dynasty. By the time of the Song Dynasty, though, the prevailing atmosphere of doubting the classics led to this notion coming under criticism, a trend that has continued into the present
