The concept of peace in the Tao Te Ching
Get PDFThis thesis represents a first attempt to analyze Lao Tzu's main method of resolving the social and political problems in Ch'un Ch'iu and Warring States Periods. Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism, suggested many solutions that could bring an end to the conflicts and to the ending of the disunity of China. Examples of these include the reform or abolishment of some ancient Chinese institutions as well as new principles for the enhancement and preservation of life. All these ideas were to become crystallised in Tao Te Ch'ing, which became an important religious text. In particular, the aspect of Lao Tzu's methods for solving the social and political problems of China in the Warring States Period needs more attention. In each chapter of the Tao Te Ch'ing there was a main emphasis on peace as the main method of developing social cohesion and as a cure to all fundamental human problems. Therefore, Lao Tzu's ideas about peace and his methods of solving the problems of the Warring States period are significant and from the main focus of the thesis

Chiang Ching-Kuo (1910-1988): una vida interesante en el corto siglo XX chino
No full textChiang Ching-kuo (1910-1988) is an essential figure to understand the contemporary Chinese world. This article examines the most important chapters of his life, from his experience in the Soviet Union until his presidency in Taiwan during the 1970s and 1980s. Chiang Ching-kuo’s vital trajectory allows us to study the complexities behind the particular Chinese modernization project that materialised in the island as a result of the combination of both exogenous and endogenous elements and a degree of contingency that was not expected by the political elite of the Kuomintang. This work seeks to contribute to the development of the Chinese and Taiwanese studies in Spanish. It advances the concept of “Chinese short century” and opens up new avenues for future research that seek to cast into doubt the dominant discourse around the “Taiwanese miracle”.Chiang Ching-kuo (1910-1988) es una figura imprescindible en la comprensión del Mundo Chino contemporáneo. El presente artículo propone una aproximación a través de los capítulos más importantes de su vida, desde su experiencia en la Unión Soviética hasta su presidencia de Taiwán durante la década de los años setenta y ochenta. La trayectoria vital de Chiang Ching-kuo permite asomarse al complejo nudo de relaciones existentes detrás del especifico proyecto modernizador chino que se cristalizó en la isla debido a una combinación de elementos exógenos y endógenos con un grado de contingencia no prevista por la élite política del Kuomintang. Este trabajo, que busca contribuir al desarrollo de los estudios chinos y taiwaneses en español, propone el concepto de “un corto siglo chino” y sugiere nuevas líneas de investigación conducentes a cuestionar el discurso dominante sobre el “milagro taiwanés”
