Tu Fu and Kao Shih
No full textKao Shih (d. 765) was one of the oldest and closest of Tu Fu's friends. Their association began when Tu Fu was in his twenties, and Kao Shih was over thirty, and lasted for the next twenty years or so. But although Tu Fu greatly admired the poetic ability of Kao Shih, there were marked differences in the ways of thinking of the two men. These differences are evident in the poems composed when Kao Shih, Tu Fu, and their friends visited the Tz'u-en 慈恩 Temple in Ch'ang-an and climbed the pagoda there. But they are perhaps most clearly shown in the contrast between Kao Shih's poem "Li Yun-nan cheng man shih", written in 752 in celebration of Li Mi's conquest of Cochin China, and Tu Fu's "Ping-ch'e-hsing" 兵車行 written in the same year. While Tu Fu describes the hardships inflicted upon the people by such military expeditions, Kao Shih merely praises the achievements of his friend, the official Li Mi, and shows no sympathy for the plight of the soldiers. Moreover, if the histories of the period are to be believed, Li's "victory" was actually a defeat which he disguised to appear as its opposite. Kao Shih's poems are often described as patriotic, but it would appear that, like Ts'en Ts'an 岑参, he journeyed to the border regions on his own initiative merely in search of fame, and had little concern for the welfare of the people as a whole. Thus when Tu Fu praised Kao Shih, it was for his beauty of diction and fame. It was praise of a different kind from that which he gave to the poetic works of men like Yüan Chieh or Li Po

Jianfengling [N 18.62°, E 108.98°], May 28, 2009, G. X. Han leg. (MHBU), paratype 1 <i>3</i>, same data as holotype (MHBU).</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis.</b> In the Chinese <i>Sphingius</i> species, such as <i>S</i>. <i>hainan</i> Zhang, Fu & Zhu, 2009, <i>S. pingtung</i> Tso et al., 2005, <i>S. sinensis</i> (Schenkel, 1963) and <i>S. zhangi</i> Zhang, Fu & Zhu, 2009, the new species can be easily distinguished from <i>S</i>. <i>hainan</i> by its broader embolus (Fig. 5), while in <i>S. hainan</i> the embolus is shorter and thinner (Zhang et al. 2009: fig. 6); by the chelicerae without a distal anterior tubercle (Fig. 4), while <i>S. hainan</i> (Zhang et al. 2009: fig. 3) has such a distal anterior tubercle on the chelicerae. Specifically compared to <i>S. pingtung</i>, the new species is also distinguished the embolus broader and shorter (Fig.5), while in <i>S. pingtung</i> the embolus thinner and longer (Zhang et al. 2009: fig. 10); by the tibial apophysis shorter (Fig. 5), while in <i>S. pingtung</i> the tibial apophysis very long (Zhang et al. 2009: fig. 12). The new species can be distinguished from <i>S. zhangi</i> by having a longer and broader embolus and with the embolus tip very near to the distal end of the cymbium (Fig. 6), while in <i>S. zhangi</i> the embolus thinner, shorter and far from the distal end of the cymbium (Zhang et al. 2009: figs. 29, 31).</p> <p>Comparing the new species with the seven species with known males found in nearby south east Asian countries, we find the new species can be distinguished from <i>S. scrobiculatus</i> (Myanmar), <i>S. songi</i> (Thailand) and <i>S. gothicus</i> (Thailand) by having a longer and broader embolus and the embolus tip very near to the distal end of the cymbium (Fig. 6), while in <i>S. scrobiculatus</i>, <i>S. songi</i> and <i>S. gothicus</i> the embolus thinner, shorter and far from the distal end of the cymbium (Deeleman-Reinhold 2001: figs. 840, 854, 844). The new species can be distinguished from <i>S. penicillus</i> (Thailand), <i>S. gracilis</i> (Myanmar) and <i>S. octomaculatus</i> (Myanmar) by the tibial apophysis shorter (Fig. 5), while in <i>S. penicillus</i>, <i>S. gracilis</i> and <i>S. octomaculatus</i> the tibial apophysis very long (Deeleman-Reinhold 2001: figs. 849, 839, 858). The new species can be distinguished from <i>S. punctatus</i> (Thailand, Indonesia) by the lump-shaped median apophysis (Fig. 5), while in <i>S. punctatus</i> the median apophysis ribbon-shaped (Deeleman-Reinhold 2001: fig. 864).</p> <p> <b>Etymology.</b> The specific name is a patronym in honor of Dr. Christa L.
