Tang Code, Tang Rite, and Other Manuscripts of Tang Dynasty
No full textIn the present paper, the author gives the preliminary reports on three newly found Tang 唐 official documents, pointing out their important value, and offering the all texts for further studies.1. In Tunhuang and Turfan Documents concerning Social and Economic History I. Legal Texts (Tokyo 1978-1980), Professors T. Yamamoto, O. Ikeda, and M. Okano published the joined texts of O. 5098 and O. 8099 from Otani collection. They identified the fragments with the Section on Violence and Robbery of the Tang Code (唐律), and pointed out the article comes from the Yonghui 永徽 or Chuigong 垂拱 Code according to the Zetian 則天 characters used in the Buddhist text on the verso. The author joins another fragment based on an old photograph of the Turfan document preserved in the Lüshun Museum (旅順博物館). The new text contains one different article from the printed text after the Song 宋 dynasty.2. Among the Dunhuang 敦煌 manuscripts in the National Library of China in Beijing, there is a good copy of the Tang Rite (唐礼) in high Tang characters (No. zhou 周 70A). It contains the text corresponding to the Da Tang Kaiyuan li 大唐開元礼, vol. 37: “Huangdi shixiang yu Taimiao 皇帝時享於太廟”. It is the first time to find the book in Dunhuang or Turfan manuscripts.3. In his Dunhuang Turfan Tangdai fazhi wenshu kaoshi 敦煌吐魯番唐代法制文書考釈, Liu Junwen thought the document of zhou 51 should be the Regulations of the Regional Military Organization. But the form of the original document could not conform to the Tang Regulations, so the author refutes his view and thinks that it is an official document relating to the beacon of the military fortress in the area of Dunhuang or Turfan.journal articl

Methylene Blue (MB) Test Versus Contrast Study (CS) in the Detection of Anastomotic Leak Following Oesogephactomy: A Prospective Study of 58 Patients
No full textBackground: Drug refractory gastroparesis is a debilitating disorder associated with severe
nausea and vomiting, resulting in a negative impact on quality of life. High frequency gastric
electrical stimulation (GES) is a viable, alternative treatment with a reported success rate of
between 50 and 70%. This study looks at the factors affecting outcome that may help in
improved patient selection. Patients and Methods: Clinical data from 48 patients with severe,
intractable gastroparesis, (12 diabetic and 36 idiopathic) were studied. The median age of
the patient group was 36 years (range 15-80). There were 38 females (79%). GES was
inserted via an open technique in 30 cases (62%) and by conventional, or robotic assisted
laparoscopic technique, in 18 cases. A history of preoperative use of opioids for severe
abdominal pain was noted in 18 patients (37.5%). Outcome was measured by changes in
quality of life and severity of symptoms (QOL/SF-36 and TSS-total symptoms score). Fisher's
exact test was used to analyze the association between patient-related factors and outcomes.
Results: 36 out of 48 patients (76.6%) had significant improvement in TSS, especially in
nausea and vomiting (>80% reduction) and QOL after GES insertion at follow-up. There
was no significant, statistical difference between long-term outcomes in aetiology, age, sex
of the patient or surgical technique (p= n.s.). However, patients who were not on opiates
prior to surgery had significantly better long-term outcomes than those on opiates (p=
0.0018). Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that GES is effective in patients with drug
refractory gastroparesis. However, patients on opiates prior to surgery do less well following
GES. GES therefore, appears to be more effective in patients who have nausea and vomiting
as the predominant symptoms than those with abdominal pain
Reinventing the Pre-Tang Tradition: Compiling and Publishing Pre-Tang Poetry Anthologies in Sixteenth-Century China
No full textAbstract
This article examines how the making of pre-Tang poetry anthologies in sixteenth-century Ming China led to a reinvention of the pre-Tang poetic tradition. From the Zhengde period 正德 (1506–21) well into the Wanli reign 萬曆 (1573–1620), the compilation and publication of new pre-Tang poetry anthologies saw a dramatic increase, making the anthologizing practices in the 1500s crucial to understanding the pre-Tang tradition. Through a study of paratextual elements (book titles, tables of contents, prefaces, postscripts, etc.) in twenty-two pre-Tang poetry anthologies compiled in the 1500s, this article identifies three types of anthologizing practices. By employing quantitative and network analysis, the author hopes to historicize these practices, investigate the motivations for the anthologies, and explore their citation networks. These anthologizing practices, I conclude, gradually transformed the classification principles of previous anthologies, expanded the scope of canonized anthologies, and established a distinct pre-Tang tradition by the end of the sixteenth century.</jats:p

The wine theme in Tang dynasty poetry
No full textBakalaura darba tēma ir “Vīna tēma Tan dinastijas poēzijā”. Šī tēma bija izvēlēta sakarā
ar vīna poēzijas izpētīšanas deficītu. Vīns vienmēr aizņēma svarīgu vietu ķīniešu sociālajā
dzīvē, un it īpaši šis dzēriens bija vispusīgi izmantots Tan dinastijā. Vīna tēmai ir veltīts
milzīgs Tan dzejoļu skaits, bet joprojām šī tēma nebija rūpīgi izpētīta.
Šī bakalaura darba mērķis ir nodemonstrēt, ka vīna tēma Tan dinastijas poēzijā ir tik pat
svarīga kā citas tēmas. Autore studē vīna nozīmi Tan dinastijā un pirms-Tan periodā, akcentē
galvenos Tan poēzijas aspektus, izpētē kādā veidā vīna tēma kļuva par poēzijas sastāvdaļu,
noteic galvenos dzeršanas motīvus poēzijā un analizē slavenu Tan dzejnieku-dzērāju vīna
poēziju.
Atslēgvārdi: Ķīna, Tan, dzeja, vīns.The theme of the bachelor paper is “The wine theme in the Tang dynasty poetry”. The
choice of this theme was determined by the deficit of research on wine poetry. Wine has
always played an important role in Chinese social life, and especially it found an extensive
use in the Tang dynasty. The wine theme takes up a great number of Tang poems, however, it
is not a topic which is studied in depth.
The aim of this bachelor paper is to demonstrate that the wine theme in Tang poetry is
as important as the other themes. The author studies the meaning of wine in the Tang dynasty
and the pre-Tang period, shows the main aspects of Tang poetry, researches how the wine
theme became a part of poetry, ascertains the main drinking motives in poetry and analyzes
wine poetry of the most famous Tang poets-drinkers.
