Mr Maybe: Fei Ming as a pastoral fiction writer.
No full textThis thesis deals with Fei Ming (the pen-name of Feng Wenbing, 1901-1967), a writer who was active mainly in the 1920s and 1930s and who has been disregarded since 1949 until only recently. Fei Ming's works include stories, essays and poems, and this thesis concentrates on his pastoral stories written between 1923 and 1932. The aim of this thesis is threefold. First, it attempts to illuminate the individuality of Fei Ming's pastoral stories by analysing their thematic and stylistic characteristics. The second objective is to examine the influence of foreign modern pastoral stories and Chinese traditional pastoral works on Fei Ming. The third is to outline the changes in his pastoral fiction writing. In so doing, I hope this thesis will invite a fresh look at this writer who is barely mentioned in China, Japan and the West, and has never been made the subject of a systematic critical study. The thesis consists of seven chapters: Chapter One describes the literary life of Fei Ming. Chapter Two introduces an outline of Fei Ming's creative writings. Chapter Three discusses the thematic characteristics of his stories about the countryside in Southern China. Chapter Four investigates the pastoral elements in his stories. The term, 'pastoral' is defined, and the argument on influences on Fei Ming's work is developed. Chapter Five analyzes the stylistic characteristics of his pastoral stories. Chapter Six explores the novel. The Life of Mr Maybe, which I define as 'mock-pastoral'. Chapter Seven examines the serial published in 1947-1948, "After Mr Maybe Flew in an Aeroplane" to see how Fei Ming's views of country life changed after 1932. The conclusion discusses Fei Ming's influence on Chinese writers from the late 1920s onwards and sums up Fei Ming's achievements as a fiction writer
And the darkness comprehended it not: Epiphany in James Joyce and Fei Ming
No full textFei Ming is one of the greatest innovators in the history of modern Chinese literature, but unfortunately, there has been little scholarship on his works. One major reason is his difficult style, which comes from his special aesthetic theory and literary practice. Fei Ming points out that a true artistic creation should be integral or complete from the beginning. This mysterious process does not only echo the popular concept of inspiration in Western literature, but is infused with the mysticism of dunwu, characteristic of Fei Ming\u27s difficult aestheticism. Since Fei Ming does not bother himself to provide more detailed explanations on how dunwu affects the process of conceiving an artistic work, epiphany, a sudden spiritual manifestation as well as a western equivalent of dunwu, made famous by James Joyce, becomes a convenient tool to facilitate the understanding. Both Fei Ming and James Joyce illustrate three developing stages of consciousness in their writing. By comparing three pairs of the works of Joyce and Fei Ming–Joyce\u27s Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and Ulysses, with Fei Ming\u27s short stories, Bridge, and The Life of Mr. Mo Xuyou–we can see that although Joyce and Fei Ming have two different patterns due to the different religious tenets of Catholicism and Buddhism, they employ epiphany as an operative, structural, and thematic device. The concept of epiphany allows us to find similarities in how these two authors construct their works, how their characters perceive the world and events around them, and how they want their readers to recognize these special moments

A Study of the "Man-chiang-hung" tz'u attributed to Yueh Fei
No full textThe "Man-chiang-hung" tz'u (song words) under discussion has been attributed to the Sung general Yüeh Fei for several hundred years. Full of patriotic sentiments, this tz'u has exerted considerable influence upon the Chinese people, especially during the time of their resistance against foreign invasions. As a patriotic poem, it deserves high esteem. The attribution of the authorship to Yüeh Fei, however, is unreliable. In his Ssu-k'u t'i-yao pien-cheng 四庫提要辨證, the late Professor Yü Chia-hsi 余嘉錫 has raised doubts concerning the authorship. His arguments against the attribution are (1) that Yüeh Fei's son Lin 霖 and grandson K'o 珂, who did their best to collect Fei's writings, did not seem to know the existence of the tz'u at all, and (2) that it first appeared only in a compilation dated 1536 without mentioning its sources. In this article, the author points out an internal evidence against the attribution. The tz'u mentions the place name Ho-lan-shan 賀蘭山, which was located to the north-west belonging to the Hsi-Hsia, and was not in the direction of the Jurchens who were the enemy of Sung. The place name cannot be considered a historical allusion because it does not appear often in earlier literature. In Ming times, however, it was an important place on the frontier bordering on the Tartars (Mongols). Actually, a major victory was won by the Ming general Wang Yüeh 王越 against the Tartars at Ho-lan-shan in 1498. Therefore, it was a place name most meaningful to the people and it featured in the literature of several writers at the time. According to tradition, the tz'u attributed Yüeh Fei was first carved on stone in 1502. This reveals the likely date of its authorship, namely, sometime between 1457 and 1502, 1547 being the date when the Tartars began to make trouble again on the Ming frontier. Furthermore, in a drama on Yueh Fei attributed to an unknown Yüan author, one finds no references to this tz'u. On the other hand, a certain Ming drama on Yüeh Fei is full of quotations from this piece. This also supports the theory that it was by a Ming author
Bridge (Qiao) by Fei Ming: An Analysis of Modern Chinese Lyrical Prose
No full textThe topic of this thesis is the book Bridge 桥 (Qiao) written by Feng Wenbing 冯文炳 under a pseudonym Fei Ming 废名. This lyrical prose is important from two points of view. Firstly, it may be seen as a reflection of an alternative response to the process of modernization in China. Secondly, considering when the book was written, it surely must be considered as a very innovative and experimental artistic creation. It is influenced by the Chinese literary tradition as well as by the Western. It contains many language registers and is hard to understand. Because of these reasons, this thesis shall be based on methods used in literary theory, nevertheless since this is a philological thesis, the result shall be formed in the light of the author's life and the state of society in the time of creation of the novel. This analysis shall use factual examples to demonstrate the uniqueness of Bridge and also shall describe how the circumstances of that time influenced the content and the form of the novel. Especially during the time of modernization the literature is in China seen as something which has magical effect on society, therefore this thesis also tries to formulate the message sent by Fei Ming. Although Bridge got recognition by many intellectuals of that time, there is still only a small number of..

The Meterials for Imperial Usage and the Forced Labor in the Ming China
No full textIn China under the Ming Dynasty, the local administrative expenditure, called ‘kung fei 公費’, was at times borne by the li chia 里甲 as a part of its forced labor duties. This incidence of the kung fei and materials for Imperial usage (shang kung wu liao 上供物料) on the li chang 里長 as a part of his official duties is by some regarded as an established system that was effective throughout the Ming period, but still others challenge this view. The present author also maintains that the li chang and chia shou 甲首 paying the kung fei was not a system dating back to the early years of the Ming. In those times procurement of the shang kung wu liao was not directly tied to the forced labor duties of the li chia. As more of it was levied, the burden was progressively shifted onto the ordinary families in disregard of the original procurement system. As a result the kung fei was borne as a part of either the li chia i 里甲役 or the chün yao i 均徭役.journal articl
