The Female Chieftain's Tribute
Tuesday, April 12, 2016
3:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Bunche Hall 6275
Talk by Hu Siao-chen, Academia Sinica
Taiwan Studies Lecture Series
During the long history of encounters between the Han and non-Han people, the Han writers produced many texts that represent the non-Han as the other. These texts are in the genres of local gazetteers, travelogues and miscellaneous notes, and they narrate about the geographical, institutional and social traits of the non-Han regions and people. Among the profuse information they provide, the description of local produce and food often goes beyond factual record and is loaded with feeling and imagination. This essay centers around texts about the negotiation between She Xiang, a female chieftain in Guizhou, and the first emperor of the Ming dynasty, and discusses how clothing and food are represented as symbolic tokens of political exchanges between the leaders of the court and the borderland. As buckwheat, the main food crop of the region, is used to make the “golden crispy cake” that bears the pattern of nine dragons and presented to the emperor himself as the female chieftain’s tribute, the story of She Xiang is transformed from strategic negotiation between the central authority and borderland power to a side dish of exotic flavor in the feast of "multi-ethnic unified empire."
How to become a Daoist: Transmission and Ordination in Early Medieval Daoism
Thursday, April 14, 2016
4:00 PM - 5:30 PM
Bunche Hall 10383
Talk by Terry Kleeman, University of Colorado
Like most new religions, the Way of the Celestial Master, founded in the mid-second century of our era, was an evangelical faith that sought to save the world by converting its profane inhabitants to the true way. For this reason, there is a strong focus in early Daoist documents on conversion of individuals and their incorporation into the membership as citizens of the Dao (Daomin 道民). In fact, the movement experienced explosive growth over the next two hundred fifty years, as it came to cover all of Sichuan, then all of North China, and finally, after 317, all of China. This talk will examine how individuals and families were recruited for membership in the Celestial Master church, how they were evaluated for promotion and progressed through the ranks, the rituals used to initiate and ordain them at various levels, and the codes of conduct that they accepted along with their ranks and statuses. In this way, we can get some sense of what it meant to turn away from popular religious practice and join into this new fellowship of the Heavenly People (tianren 天人), to live under different rules worshipping strange new gods, and to share in the hope that they would be chosen as Seed People who would repopulate the world of Great Peace that was sure to arise from the ashes of the destruction, warfare, plague, and calamity that surrounded them. |

Tuesday, May 3, 6:30PM-8:15PM
40 Rector Street, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10006
Event Fee: Members - Free, Non-Members - $5
Beginning in 1966, China's Great Proletariat Cultural Revolution was a mass movement that shook the foundations of Modern China to its core. The movement's ubiquitous presence deeply disrupted all aspects of Chinese society, and has had a lasting impact on Chinese culture that is still present today.
On May 3, 2016, join China Institute in collaboration with Asia Art Archive for a screening of China - The Red Sons (1968, 47 mins), shot by Australian filmmaker Roger Whittaker during a trip to China in 1968 organized by the Australian Union of University Students. One of the few documentaries made in China during the Cultural Revolution, the film offers a unique record of people's daily lives in this period, featuring interviews with students, pupils, Red Guards and the late Anna Louise Strong. Following the screening, renowned curator, Zheng Shengtian, and Jane DeBevoise, Chair of the Board of Directors, Asia Art Archive will host a discussion. For questions or to register by phone, please contact 212-744-8181 ext. 138 or by email at anicholson@chinainstitute.org |

评论：刘旷：为什么我认为中国互联网能超越美国？ |
|

不想说多了，只有一句话，谷歌服务在中华人民共和国境内（不含台港澳地区）是无法使用的，小米、华为之类，只是帮谷歌或ARM公司做下游产品而已，简单说，小米、华为手机连电阻电容都是日本产的，更别说操作系统、CPU或摄像头了。
硬件还有门槛，软件就没什么门槛了吧，微软谷歌工程师用的编程电脑，不比我们的先进吧，泱泱15亿人口的大国，用010101敲个像样的程序都不会，还好意思说什么互联网呢。
要是美国商务部宣布不再供应美国产品给小米或华为了，小米一天内倒闭，华为三天关门。中兴通讯的例子看到了么？ |

What: Confucius And The World He Created
When: Thursday, April 7, 2016, 4:00-5:30pm
Where: ANN 106, Wallis Annenberg Hall, USC Campus
Cost: Free, please register here.
Confucius is perhaps the most important philosopher in history. Today, his teachings shape the daily lives of more than 1.6 billion people. Throughout East Asia, Confucius's influence can be seen in everything from business practices and family relationships to educational standards and government policies. Even as western ideas from Christianity to Communism have bombarded the region, Confucius's doctrine has endured as the foundation of East Asian culture. It is impossible to understand East Asia, journalist Michael Schuman demonstrates, without first engaging with Confucius and his vast legacy.
Confucius created a worldview that is in many respects distinct from, and in conflict with, Western culture. As Schuman shows, the way that East Asian companies are managed, how family members interact with each other, and how governments see their role in society all differ from the norm in the West due to Confucius's lasting impact. Confucius has been credited with giving East Asia an advantage in today''''s world, by instilling its people with a devotion to learning, and propelling the region's economic progress. Still, the sage has also been highly controversial. For the past 100 years, East Asians have questioned if the region can become truly modern while Confucius remains so entrenched in society. He has been criticized for causing the inequality of women, promoting authoritarian regimes, and suppressing human rights. Despite these debates, East Asians today are turning to Confucius to help them solve the ills of modern life more than they have in a century. As a wealthy and increasingly powerful Asia rises on the world stage, Confucius, too, will command a more prominent place in global culture. Touching on philosophy, history, and current affairs, Confucius tells the vivid, dramatic story of the enigmatic philosopher whose ideas remain at the heart of East Asian civilization.
