Wing Chun: Introducing Basic Wing Chun Kung Fu Using Instructional Multimedia
No full textWing Chun Kung Fu 3D is a conceptual website that offers people a new experience to learn and play Wing Chun Kung Fu via instructional multimedia.
In the website, instead of showing the video or static images in a conventional way, users can learn basic Wing Chun with elements such as three dimensional visuals, animations, and interactivity.
By having a TV-game interactive style to create a pleasant learning environment, I will demonstrate how to use instructional multimedia to teach martial arts through non-traditional methods.

The Study of Kangxi' Emperor's Chun Qiu Jie Yi
No full textWhen Chun Qiu was passed down to Kangxi in the early Qing Dynasty, it had already had a history of two millennia in which it underwent elaborations and explanations by both emperors and scholars. The preceding explicatory attempts had accumulated to not only form an enormous system of interpretation but also develop many important issues.
After having ascended to authority, Emperor Kangxi commissioned the Hanlin imperial academicians to expound Chun Qiu for him. Kangxi Emperor\ue2s Chun Qiu Jie Yi (referred to hereafter as Chun Qiu Jie Yi) is an anthology of the teaching materials used in the lectures. As newcomers to the long procession of previous interpreters of Chun Qiu, Kangxi and the academicians could not help having to respond to both the existent scholarship on the gist and calligraphy of the classic and the issues foregrounded by biographies and explanatory notes on which their own explications were based. Moreover, when it came to appropriating and extolling Chinese classics, the emperors reigning at the dawn of the Qing Dynasty, being foreign rulers, could not possibly bypass the exegetical tradition of Chun Qiu and were expected to declare their perspectives on the issues emphasized therein. Therefore, one of the aims of this dissertation is to examine how Chun Qiu Jie Yi responds to the issues in the exegetical system of Chun Qiu.
In addition, Chun Qiu Jie Yi should be regarded as a work collaboratively written by Emperor Kangxi and his assembly of lecturers specializing in classics, known as rijiang officials. Since as early as the Song Dynasty, the jingyan rijiang officials have conferred upon themselves grand ideals and great duties, maintaining \ue2the greatest responsibilities of the country rest upon the shoulders of zaixiang (the prime minister) and jingyan: whereas the former is responsible for bringing order and peace to the country, the latter is held accountable for imparting morality and virtues to the sovereign.\ue2 In Qing, a dynasty characterized by the growing concentration of power in one individual, becoming the emperor\ue2s rijiang official virtually amounted to an opportunity of a lifetime, for it allowed scholars to mold the sovereign\ue2s thinking thoroughly over an extended period of time, thereby enabling them to realize their aspiration of bettering the world. Since Chun Qiu primarily concerns events in the political realm, it has lent itself to initiating and facilitating discussions of politics as the rijiang officials saw fit. Here, what demands attention is that, in the study, the monarch temporarily assumed the role of a student while his officials preached. Beyond the study, however, the hierarchy was resumed and the ruler-subject relationship was restored. Such alternation of the dual relationship is also an aspect worthy of further consideration in Chun Qiu Jie Yi. This dissertation intends to compare the exegetic works cited in Chun Qiu Jie Yi, in hopes of assessing the attainability of the rijiang officials\ue2 aspiration to act as the emperor\ue2s mentors.
The dissertation approaches Chun Qiu Jie Yi as a historical activity. Hence, it attempts to contextualize the anthology, to reconstruct the circumstances in which Kangxi and his rijiang officials undertook the explication of Chu Qiu, and to scrutinize their interpretive behaviors and the underlying ideologies as well as purposes. On the grounds of this premise, when discussing the hermeneutic activities in Chun Qiu Jie Yi, the dissertation aims to first point out the ideas the anthology conveys, highlighting its concerns about a sovereign\ue2s method of governing a country. Second, the dissertation shifts the focus from what the anthology is about to how Kangxi and his officials\ue2 viewpoints on political doctrines were articulated. It proceeds to analyze the hermeneutics as well as ensuing pitfalls of Chun Qiu Jie Yi, with the aim of calling attention to the similarities between the anthology\ue2s reading of Chun Qiu and the decoding activity that extends from the author (real or implied) to the reader (real or ideal) as proposed in the contemporary theory of narratology. Third, the dissertation zeroes in on the exegetic works cited in Chun Qiu Jie Yi in order to, on the one hand, investigate the anthology\ue2s response to and evasion of key issues accentuated by scholars of preceding dynasties and the history of Chu Qiu studies and, on the other hand, probe into the interrelationship between the exegesis of the classic and the political appropriation of such a literary classic as exemplified therein. Finally, the dissertation ventures to suggest that in the heart of the hermeneutics adopted in Chun Qiu Jie Yi lies a structure akin to a flower with multiple layers of petals\ue2a structure of thinking wherein the anthology strives to both establish its legitimacy in understanding the profound teachings of Confucius and canonize its interpretation as the paradigm their literary and political successors would consult. It concerns not only how traditional intellectuals approached an ancient classic but also how scholars of Han descent, in particular, consciously appropriated the classic to serve their roles as teachers for a foreign emperor in early Qing
Xu Fu-Yuan's Life Feelings during the Transitional Period between the Ming and Qing Dynasty
No full textXu Fu-Yuan (\ue5\ube\ue5\uad\ue9\ua0) was a famous writer in the late Ming Dynasty (\ue6\ue5\uad\ua3)\uef\ubcand started Ji Club (\ue5\ub9\ube\ue7\ua4\ube) with Chen Zi-long (\ue9\ub3\ue5\uad\ue9\ube) and Xia Yun-yi (\ue5\ua4\ue5\ue5\ubd). When the Ming (\ue6) government was overthrown by the Qing (\ue6\ub8)government .he chose to forsake his family to overturn the Qing (\ue6\ub8) government and then experienced several emperors of Nan Ming dynasties (\ue5\ue6). The poems written during he left the hometown to overturn the Qing (\ue6\ub8) government in\ue2 Diao-Huang-Tang Manuscripts\ue2
(\ue3\ue9\ua3\ue7\ue5\ua0\ue5\uad\ue7\ua8\ubf\ue3)and\ue2 Jiao-Xing Manuscripts\ue2(\ue3\ue4\uba\ua4\ue8\ua1\ue6\ue7\ua8\ubf\ue3)total early2800.People
could hardly get the Diao-Huang-Tang Manuscripts(\ue3\ue9\ua3\ue7\ue5\ua0\ue5\uad\ue7\ua8\ubf\ue3)so the critics and researches in the Ming literature are very poor, and there are some questions must be settled in the Taiwan literature. Therefore, the study is on the two books to explore his life feelings during the Ming (\ue6) and Qing (\ue6\ub8).
The subjects of this study comprises the life and writings of Xu Fu-yuan, social association, self-identification, feelings, ocean writing, and Taiwan writing. By researching in depth on Xu Fu-Yuan (\ue5\ube\ue5\uad\ue9\ua0) and his poems, we discover something .For example, first, we confirm he went to Jiao Nan (\ue4\uba\ua4\ue5) in February ,12th year of Yong-li (\ue6\ub0\ub8\ue6). Second, we get Xu Fu-Yuan\ue2s (\ue5\ube\ue5\uad\ue9\ua0) friends in his poems more than 140.It not only helps us to understand him more but fill the records in Nan Ming dynasty. Third, his ocean writings have plenty of subjects and varied images. Fourth, according to\ue2 Diao-Huang-Tang Manuscripts\ue2(\ue3\ue9\ua3\ue7\ue5\ua0\ue5\uad\ue7\ua8\ubf\ue3), he came to Taiwan with his wife and his childe to reclaim lands in 1rt year of Kangxi (\ue5\uba\ub7\ue7). In addition, the poem \ue2peach blossom\ue2 (\ue3\ue6\ua1\ue8\ub1\ue3) and \ue2mourn for Zhang Gong-SHi\ue2aren\ue2t written in Taiwan.
Generally speaking, Xu Fu-Yuan (\ue5\ube\ue5\uad\ue9\ua0) has an extremely important historical value in Taiwan literature ,Chinese literature
