over no things : a film by Yen-Chao Lin
No full text"When did you start to forget? Is it possible not to start to forget? over no things is a poetic visual approach to the passage of time and the melancholic nostalgia of aging. With meditative contemplation, the experience of cinematic time is decelerated and romanticized through slow moving frames and minimalist still tableaux. An emotive piece which communicates through absence." -- DVD's back cover
Chao Yuen Ren (1892–1982)
No full textY. R. Chao is easily the most famous linguist to have come out of China. Born before the end of the last dynasty in China, he received a traditional Confucian education, but was also one of the first Chinese people to be sent to the West for training in modern Western science (under the Boxer Indemnity Fund). The remarkable breadth and scope of his studies included physics, mathematics, linguistics, musical and literary composition, and translation, and he was a pioneer in many of these fields
Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism in the Ming (明) Period : With Special Reference to Lin Chao-Ssu
Full text linkIt is needless to say that Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism are the three great schools of thought in China. These three have been sometimes in conflict and sometimes compromised. It was under the influence of the Yang Ming school in the sixteeth century that the tendency toward syncretism became dominant, and it was Lin Chao-ssu who developed the syncretism not only in the field of thought but also in its social and religious phases. Though, generally speaking, Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism were in the process of syncretism during the Ming Period, there were still some insurmountable barriers among them. These barriers were not only due to differences in creed but to social and political conditions. The problem was, then, how to bring them all to a compromise. Lin Chao-ssu was the one who tried to bring them to a successful compromise from the standpoint of the "phylosophy of mind" of tne Wang Ming school. Thus it was Lin Chao-ssu who put these three great schools of thought into a rationalistic syncretism, which still dominates the mind of the majority of the contemporary Chinese
High Corruption Income in Ming and Qing China
Full text linkWe develop an economic model that explains historical data on government corruption in Ming and Qing China. In our model, officials extensive powers result in corrupt income matching lands share in output. We estimate corrupt income to be between 14 to 22 times official income resulting in about 22% of agricultural output accruing to 0.4% of the population. The results suggest that eliminating corruption through salary reform was possible in early Ming but impossible by mid-Qing rule. Land reform may also be ineffective because officials could extract the same rents regardless of ownership. High officials incomes and the resulting inequality may have also created distortions and barriers to change that could have contributed to Chinas stagnation over the five centuries 1400-1900s.Corruption, China
Ming maritime governance and the Suppression of Lin Feng
No full textPiracy in Ming China during the 1560s and 1570s, while not frequently discussed, posed a unique maritime problem for officials to tackle. One threat they faced in this period was Lin Feng (active 1568–1580s), a pirate appearing on the coasts of Guangdong and Fujian provinces since the early Longqing period (1567–1572). Lin Feng was constantly seen clashing with the Ming military and had considerable influence; in 1574, he even sailed to Luzon, part of the modern-day Philippines, and appointed himself as the lord there. Eventually, he was evicted back to the Ming coasts, where the military suppressed his forces in 1576, early in the reign of the Wanli emperor (1572–1620). Previous scholars have noted Lin Feng’s trans-local impacts and portrayed him as a cultural broker between imperial China and the Philippines. What they neglected to do, however, was treat the conflicts and encounters he shared with officials as instances of Ming maritime governance.
To revisit the case of Lin Feng from a political perspective, this thesis uses records from gazetteers, Ming shilu, memorials, legal codes, and letters. It places him with Longqing and Wanli officials to trace the complex processes through which officials reached their decisions. This thesis presents four seemingly separate incidents involving Lin Feng and various Ming officials that became the milestones of the Suppression of Lin Feng, the campaign to eliminate his forces. Each of the officials discussed in these examples came from diverse backgrounds with varying levels of prestige. Yet they were all, as this thesis argues, motivated by two kinds of factors interwoven with each other: structural—the broader political, geographic, social, and economic contexts as well as the experience of their predecessors—and personal—opportunities to keep their careers or elevate their statuses while gaining material benefits. Making this argument can help this thesis highlight the paramount roles that officials played in this campaign and, in doing so, offer new understandings of Lin Feng as a historical character and position county and provincial-level officials as being integral to creating and enforcing policies for Ming maritime governance.Arts, Faculty ofHistory, Department ofGraduat
