Tang Dynasty Tales
Author: William H. Nienhauser
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814287288
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
The book provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive survey of the genre of Tang tales in English, including discussions of the numerous Chinese studies from the last decade. Tang Tales itself contains the first annotated translations of these famous stories, which are deciphered and interpreted specifically for students and scholars interested in the medieval Chinese literature. Following the model of intertextual readings employed by Glen Dudbridge in The Tale of Li Wa (Oxford, 1983), the annotation points to the resonances to the classical texts; the translator's notes following each translation then explain how these references expand the meaning of the text. In addition to six translations of the major tales (chuanqi, "transmitting the strange"), there is also a rendition of a fantastic tale by Liu Zongyuan, suggesting close ties with popular and oral literature. The appended glossary of terms marks the first attempt to create such a reference for readers and scholars of Tang tales that will be of use in reading other tales as well. The meticulous scholarship of this book elevates it above all existing collections of these stories, and the inclusion of the standard introduction to the Tang tales for graduate students and researchers engenders a deeper appreciation.

China Off Center
Author: Susan D. Blum
Publisher: University of Hawaii Press
ISBN: 9780824825775
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 428
Book Description
China Off Center takes as its fundamental assumption that contemporary China can only be understood as a complex, decentralized place, where the view from above (Beijing) and from tourist buses is a skewed one. Instead of generalizing about China, it demonstrates that this diverse national terrain is better conceived as it is experienced by Chinese, as a set of many Chinas. To that end, this anthology of interpretive essays and ethnographic reports focuses on the everyday, the particular, the local, and the puzzling. Among the many topics covered are ethnic minorities, linguistic diversity, competing regional loyalties, sexuality, gender and work, the floating populations, rock and roll, qigong (spiritual and martial arts), and popular religion. Together with contextualizing introductions, the readings provide students with a compelling look at some little-known but significant aspects of China from the past decade; for those already familiar with China, they furnish an assortment of uncommon viewpoints in a single, convenient volume.

ON THE WAY TO OUR DREAM
Author: SUN Yanlin
Publisher: American Academic Press
ISBN: 1631814737
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
The book is to help readers to accurately understand the rich connotation of the Chinese Dream and to clarify the role of each Chinese in achieving the dreams at different stages and in different positions. It aims to provide readers with a better understanding of the contemporary China and its past, and the opportunities it offers, emphasizing the “China opportunity theory” rather than the “China threat theory”. The work systematically explores the historical and cultural development of the Chinese Dream, presenting it as a logical conclusion. The study and promotion of the Chinese Dream is not a political issue. The Chinese Dream encompasses various aspects, including culture, economy, science and technology, military, and politics. It is also a dream shared by people all over the world. It is not a means to sacrifice the interests of other countries, but a global dream that promotes openness, peaceful coexistence, mutual benefit, and win-win cooperation with all countries around the world. The realization of the Chinese Dream is examined from the perspectives of industrial economics, strategic studies, theories of enterprises, and organizational behavior. People from all walks of life in China have their own missions to fulfill their own dreams.

The Functions of Dreaming
Author: Alan Moffitt
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438413394
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 624
Book Description
Many contemporary neuroscientists are skeptical about the belief that dreaming accomplishes anything in the context of human adaptation and this skepticism is widely accepted in the popular press. This book provides answers to that skepticism from experimental and clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, neurologists, and anthropologists. Ranging across the human and life sciences, the authors provide provocative insights into the enduring question of dreaming from the point of view of the brain, the individual, and culture. The Functions of Dreaming contains both new theory and research on the functions of dreaming as well as revisions of older theories dating back to the founder of modern dream psychology, Sigmund Freud. Also explored are the many roles dreaming plays in adaptation to daily living, in human development, and in the context of different cultures: search, integration, identity formation, memory consolidation, the creation of new knowledge, and social communication.

A Critical Discourse Study of the "Chinese Dream"
Author: Junchen Zhang
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040193250
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 167
Book Description
Zhang’s book focuses on the analysis of the sociohistorical context, linguistic patterns of discursive construction, and media representations of the “Chinese Dream” in Mainland China, Hong Kong, and the United States. Analyzing data from the Chinese leader’s speeches and articles from China Daily, the South China Morning Post, and the New York Times, the author provides insights into the understanding of contemporary Chinese society through a critical discourse analysis of the “Chinese Dream” and its mediatized construction. Focusing on the discursive construction, the book examines the Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s narratives on the “Chinese Dream” from multidimensional perspectives, such as thematic representations, discursive strategies, and narrative frames, which emphasize the overall structure of the “Chinese Dream” as a political discourse. Methodologically, Zhang combines a discourse-historical approach, corpus linguistics, and framing analysis into a complementary framework, which draws merits from the three approaches. This innovative research volume will be of interest to academics, researchers, and students in the fields of discourse analysis, political research, Chinese politics, and East Asian studies.
