A General History of Chinese Art

From the Qin Dynasty to the Northern and Southern Dynasties

By: Xifan Li

This volume studies the evolution of Chinese art during the Qin and Han Dynasties, The Three Kingdoms, Eastern and Western Jin, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It traces the initial artistic vocabularies of Chinese calligraphy as well as the rapid development of the performing and the decorative arts. A General History of Chinese Art comprises six volumes with a total of nine parts spanning from the Prehistoric Era until the 3rd year of Xuantong during the Qing Dynasty (1911). The work provides a comprehensive compilation of in-depth studies of the development of art throughout the subsequent reign of Chinese dynasties and explores the emergence of a wide range of artistic categories such as but not limited to music, dance, acrobatics, singing, story telling, painting, calligraphy, sculpture, architecture, and crafts. Unlike previous reference books, A General History of Chinese Art offers a broader overview of the notion of Chinese art by asserting a more diverse and less material understanding of arts, as has often been the case in Western scholarship.

Sobbing Blood Nirvana, rebirth, she was no longer the weak Direct Daughter that anyone could bully. She had killed the Zhenguo Mansion, destroyed the Song Manor, turned over the clouds and turned the rain, shocking the entire city. As for him, a good-for-nothing, a living ancestor who was sighing, what he did not know was that this game of chess that he had casually picked up was shaking the world around him. She wanted to kill him, but she walked step by step into his trap. Later on, there were people who praised him for his bravery in traversing the chaotic times and fighting in wars. His Majesty truly deserved to be called a hero when mountains and rivers were shattered. Little bun chuckled: "Mother, are you sure you want to hide here?"

Silk Road: The Study Of Drama Culture

By: Qiang Li

Silk Road: The Study of Drama Culture is the translated edition of the Chinese academic book of the same title written by Professor LI Qiang from Shaanxi Normal University, China.

The book studies the drama culture of all ethnic groups from Asia, Europe and Africa and touches upon the cultural exchanges between China and its neighboring countries, between the East and the West. The carefully presented details in this book are aimed to explore all the related fields such as dramaturgy, philology, phonology, religion, history, geography, archeology, ethnology, and folklore between the East and the West from the perspective of cultural anthropology. The explanations in the book contribute to an in-depth study on the origins of the Silk Road and the drama culture along the Silk Road.

A Theory of the Morphology-Syntax Interface

By: Yafei Li

This important monograph offers a resolution to the debate in theoretical linguistics over the role of syntactic head movement in word formation. It does so by synthesizing the syntactic and lexicalist approaches on the basis of the empirical data that support each side. In trying to determine how a morphologically complex word is formed in Universal Grammar, generative linguists have argued either that a substantial amount of morphological phenomena result from head movement in overt syntax (the widely adopted syntactic approach) or that morphological/lexical means are both necessary and sufficient for a theory of word formation (the Lexicalist Hypothesis). Li examines both the linguistic facts that are brought to light for the first time and the existing data in the literature and shows that each side has an empirical foundation that cannot be negated by the other. Since neither approach is adequate to explain all the facts of word formation, he argues, the way to achieve a unified account lies in synthesizing the empirically advantageous portions of both approaches into one simple and coherent theory. Li begins by demonstrating how a theory that combines the essence of the syntactic and lexicalist approaches can account more accurately for the various morphological constructions analyzed in the literature by means of syntactic verb incorporation. He then examines causativization on the adjectival root, noun incorporation in polysynthetic languages, and the possibility that the word formation part of the Lexicalist Hypothesis—which is crucial to his theory—can be derived as a theorem from a version of the X-bar theory. He concludes by discussing methodological issues in current linguistic research.

HISTORY OF THE DECISIVE WAR BETWEEN EAST AND WEST

"PEACE SECURITY AND THE WORLD" SERIES 2

By: Dr.LI, JIN WEI

For 2500 years, the world has witnessed numerous wars, conflicts, and battles, each with its unique story, causes, and consequences. Among the most significant conflicts in history are those that pitted the East against the West, with battles that shook the very foundations of civilizations and reshaped the world's political, social, and economic landscape. The East and West have a long and complicated history of interactions, with cultural, political, and economic exchanges since ancient times. However, these interactions were not always peaceful, and the two regions often found themselves at odds, competing for power and influence over each other. From the battles between the Greeks and Persians to the Crusades, from the conquests of Alexander the Great to the conflicts between the Ottoman Empire and the European powers, the East and West have engaged in numerous wars and battles that have left a lasting impact on history. However, one conflict stands out as the most decisive and consequential of them all: the war between the East and West in the 20th century. The 20th century was a time of unprecedented change and upheaval, with the world witnessing two devastating world wars, empires rising and falling, and the emergence of new superpowers. At the heart of many of these events was the struggle between the East and West, as two ideological and political systems clashed in a battle for dominance. The war between the East and West was not a single battle but a series of confrontations over several decades. It began in the aftermath of World War II, as the Soviet Union and the United States emerged as the dominant powers in the world. The two nations had vastly different political and economic systems, with the Soviet Union advocating for communism and the United States championing capitalism and democracy. The conflict between the two nations was driven by a deep-seated ideological divide, with each side viewing the other as threatening its way of life. The Soviet Union sought to spread communism worldwide, while the United States sought to contain its spread and promote democracy and capitalism. The war between the East and West played out on multiple fronts, including military, political, economic, and cultural arenas. It led to proxy wars in Vietnam, Korea, and Afghanistan and intense political and economic competition in Europe, Africa, and Latin America. The conflict also profoundly impacted the global balance of power, shaping the world we live in today. The war between the East and West was marked by intense tension and confrontation, as well as periods of détente and cooperation. It saw the development of new military technologies and strategies, including the arms race and nuclear deterrence. It also introduced new diplomatic and economic institutions like the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the United Nations. Despite the high stakes and enormous consequences, the war between the East and West is often overlooked or dismissed as a relic of the past. However, its legacy can still be felt today as the world grapples with political, economic, and ideological conflict issues. The East-West battle is a cautionary tale, warning us of the perils of ideological extremism, political division, and armed conflict. This book will explore the war between the East and West, delving into the causes, events, and consequences of this historic conflict. From the leaders of the United States and the Soviet Union to the soldiers and civilians caught up in the conflict, we will examine the key players. We will analyze the strategies and tactics employed by both sides, from the development of new military technologies to the use of propaganda and diplomacy. We will consider the impact of the war on the world today as we seek to understand the lessons of this decisive conflict between the East and West. Throughout the book, we will draw on various sources, from historical documents and government archives to personal memoirs and oral histories. We will provide a balanced and nuanced perspective on the war, seeking to understand both sides' complex motivations and actions. Our goal is not simply to provide a blow-by-blow account of the conflict but to offer a deeper understanding of its significance and legacy. We will look at how the war changed the world's political and economic institutions, from the advent of the United States as a global superpower through the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. We will explore how the war shaped popular culture, from films and novels to music and art. We will consider the ongoing debates and controversies surrounding the war, including questions of responsibility, accountability, and justice. Ultimately, this book is an invitation to explore one of the most consequential conflicts in history, a war that shaped the world we live in today. We hope it will inspire readers to think critically about the complex issues and challenges facing our world, engage in meaningful dialogue, and debate about how we can build a more peaceful and just future.

Intellectual Property Protection of Traditional Cultural Expressions

Folklore in China

By: Luo Li

The work reviews issues concerning the protection of folklore through the intellectual property legal system, then explores two main issues in the protection of Chinese folklore. The first issue is the influence of Chinese traditional culture on the Chinese intellectual property legal system and Chinese society. The second concerns the deficiencies of the Chinese intellectual property system with regard to folklore. Both issues are examined through a survey on the weak public recognition of intellectual property law and folklore in Chinese society. The book also reveals the practical issues that have arisen in Southwest China through case studies. After analysing these issues, the work designs a model law specifically for folklore and also provides suggestions for how the current intellectual property legal system could establish a comprehensive legal protection system for folklore. Furthermore, the work shows that its proposed model law is effective in practice by resolving the issues in the case studies presented.

Village Governance in North China

1875-1936

By: Huaiyin Li

This book is about village governance in China during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Drawing on government archives from Huailu county, Hebei province, it explores local practices and official systems of social control, land taxation, and "self government" at the village level. Its analysis of peasant behaviors bridges the gap between the rational choice and moral economy models by taking into account both material and symbolic dimensions of power and interest in the peasant community. The author's interpretation of village/state relations before 1900 transcends the state and society dichotomy and accentuates the interplay between formal and informal institutions and practices. His account of "state making" after 1900 underscores the continuity of endogenous arrangements in the course of institutional formalization and the interpenetration between official discourse and popular notions in the new process of political legitimization.

Women and National Trauma in Late Imperial Chinese Literature

By: Wai-yee Li

The Ming–Qing dynastic transition in seventeenth-century China was an epochal event that reverberated in Qing writings and beyond; political disorder was bound up with vibrant literary and cultural production. Women and National Trauma in Late Imperial Chinese Literature focuses on the discursive and imaginative space commanded by women. Encompassing writings by women and by men writing in a feminine voice or assuming a female identity, as well as writings that turn women into a signifier through which authors convey their lamentation, nostalgia, or moral questions for the fallen Ming, the book delves into the mentality of those who remembered or reflected on the dynastic transition, as well as those who reinvented its significance in later periods. It shows how history and literature intersect, how conceptions of gender mediate the experience and expression of political disorder. Why and how are variations on themes related to gender boundaries, female virtues, vices, agency, and ethical dilemmas used to allegorize national destiny? In pursuing answers to these questions, Wai-yee Li explores how this multivalent presence of women in different genres provides a window into the emotional and psychological turmoil of the Ming–Qing transition and of subsequent moments of national trauma. 2016 Joseph Levenson Book Prize, Pre-1900 Category, China and Inner Asia Council of the Association for Asian Studies
