Pensiero e religione in epoca Zhou
No full textThe chapter outlines the history of thought and religion in pre-Han China, starting with a brief introduction on the shi, warriors and scholars who filled minor offices in Zhou times. It describes their fundamental role in the development of Chinese thought. In the Warring States period the shi were employed by the rulers for their talents, their knowledge, and their political strategies. The main subjects dealt with by these scholars were the inner cultivation and the art of government and The records of their encounters and dialogues with the rulers were transmitted in written form by their disciples and followers, as in the case of the Lunyu and of the Mengzi. The chapter is divided in the following sections: 1. Introduction; 2. The experts of “yin-yang”; 3. Confucius and the “ru”; 3.1. The Confucian Ethics; 3.2 The discovery of the manuscripts: the end of a myth; 4. Mozi and the refusal of the tradition; 5. Yang Zhu and the value of life; Mengzi and the search for compromise; 7. On the practice of the mean; 8. Xunzi and the power of man; 9. Han Feizi and the power of law; 10. Hui Shi and Gongsun Long: the art of paradox; 11. Zhuangzi and the oblivion of man; 12. Laozi and the wuwei providing benefit; 13. Inner cultivation aimed at the control of the cosmos; 13.1 The soul as mirror, the skin as jade; 14. Rituals and religious beliefs; 14.1 Funerary rites: “Soul, come back!”; 14.2 A new dwelling; 14.3 Souls, gods and spirits; 14.4. In search of immortality

No full textLe droghe dell'immortalità nell'antichità cinese e il Taishang Lingbao zhicao pin
No full textThe text deals with the concept of immortality in Daoist tradition according to some sources of ancient and medieval China. The chinese character xian, usually translated as “immortality”, referred to a transcendent life where it was possible to abandon the limits of space and time of the earthly life. According to the historian Sima Qian (ca. 145-86 BC), the cult of immortality developed thanks to the activities of the fangshi, in particular in the kingdoms of Yan and Qi. These beliefs were criticized by Wang Chong (ca. 27-100) in the chapter Daoxu of his Lunheng. Ge Hong (283-343) was probably the first author who dealt exhaustively with the methods and practices to attain longevity and immortality. The first chapter of the book (85 pp. ) describes chapter 2 Lunxian (Discussing Immortality) and chapter 11 Xianyao (The drugs of immortality) of the Baopuzi (pp. 22-46), and concludes with a short analysis of the ritual and symbolic use of the drugs of immortality. The chapter is followed by a first annotated translation of the Taishang Lingbao zhicaopin (TT 1406), an anonymous text of the Daozang. The two appendices (pp. 224- 257) deal with other texts of the daoist tradition
Dynamical scaling and generalized Omori law
No full textThe power law decay of the aftershocks rate is observed only after a characteristic time scale c. The dependence of c on the mainshock magnitude MM and on the lower cut-off magnitude M(I) is well established. By considering ten sequences recorded in the California Catalog we show that the aftershock number distribution becomes independent of both M(M) and M(I) if time is rescaled by an appropriate time scale fixed by the difference M(M) - M(I). This result is interpreted within a more general dynamical scaling hypothesis recently formulated, relating time differences to magnitude differences. The above hypothesis gives predictions in good agreement with the recent findings by Peng et al. ( 2007). Citation: Lippiello, E., M. Bottiglieri, C. Godano, and L. de Arcangelis ( 2007), Dynamical scaling and generalized Omori law
Confucio nella cultura italiana: studi e traduzioni - Kongzi zai Yidali wenhua zhong: yanjiu yu fanyi
No full textIt is an excursus on the main studies and translations of the chinese classics in Italian literature, in particular of the Four books (sishu), starting from the earliest translations by the Jesuits to the XX century.
The first part explores the role of the Five classics and the Five books in Chinese history until the Ming dynasty. In 1592 A. Valignano S.I. (1539-1606) met Matteo Ricci (1552-1610) and suggested him to translate the Four Books. A manuscript of the Four Books translated in Latin is found in the V. Emanuele Library in Rome; it is ascribed to Michele Ruggieri (1543-1607) but probably the author of the translation was Matteo Ricci (1552-1610), whereas M. Ruggieri was the copyist. The work of partial translation of the four books was continued by Prospero Intorcetta (1652-1696) and other Jesuits who, in 1687, published the Confucius Sinarum Philosophus. The essay ends with a description of the main translations of the Four Books in Italy in the XX century
Linking Ancient and Contemporary. Continuities and Discontinuities in Chinese Literature
No full textLinking Ancient and Contemporary: Continuities and Discontinuities in Chinese Literature is a collection of essays which stems from a project of cooperation between the Department of Asian and African Studies of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice and the Department of Chinese Language and Literature of Peking University.\ud
The first conference was held in Venice on 21-22 March 2013, the second will be held in Peking University on 14-16 October 2016. The volume reflects the desire to compare and integrate different approaches to Chinese literature, showing how, in different epochs, traditional intellectual and literary values have been repeatedly criticized and rejected, yet have often resurfaced\ud
in many different ways and have been reinterpreted
