Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE EARLIEST TOCHARIANS IN CHINA: A HYPOTHESIS是同作者《古族新考》一书的英文版。《古族新考》曾于2000年由中华书局出版，2012年由商务印书馆再版。该部部分在国外的具体发表信息如下：“The Earliest Tocharians in China”, Sino-Platonic Papers Number 204, June, 2010, Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, 2 + 78 pp。吐火罗语文书的发现和对吐火罗语以及有关历史地理问题的研究，既是比较历史语言学界的大事，也是中亚学界的大事。盖自十九世纪末到二十世纪初，在我国西北地区出土的古文书残卷中，有若干以当时未知语言写成，其一即吐火罗语。给语言学家和历史学家提出了一系列需要解释的问题。特别是要先解释清楚：不管操吐火罗语的族群起源于何处，既然它很早就来到中国，应在中国史籍中留下足迹。换言之，他们究竟是以什么名称出现在中国史籍中的？本书就是作者根据史料所勾勒吴氏、陶唐氏、有虞氏的迁徒过程，构建关于“塞种”诸部渊源的假说，可以看成同作者《塞种史研究》一书的续编。

Download or read book The Teleology of the Modern Nation State written by Joshua A. Fogel and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Japan and China did not begin to emerge as unified political entities until the nineteenth century. Yet scholars and politicians persistently refer to "Japan" and "China" in discussions of earlier periods, as if the modern nation-state had long been established in these regions. Joshua Fogel here brings together essays by eight renowned East Asian scholars to demonstrate why this oversight distorts our historical analysis and understanding of both countries. The nation-states of Japan and China developed much later and, indeed, far less uniformly than usually conveyed in popular myth and political culture. Moreover, the false depiction of an earlier national identity not only alters the factual record; it serves the contemporary engines of nationalist mythology and propaganda. This interdisciplinary volume asks deceptively simple questions: When did "Japan" and "China" become Japan and China? When and why do inhabitants begin to define their identity and interests nationally rather than locally? Identifying the role of mitigating factors from disease and travel abroad to the subtleties of political language and aesthetic sensibility, the answers provided in these diverse and insightful essays are appropriately complex. By setting aside Western notions of the nation-state, the contributors approach each region on its own terms, while the thematic organization of the book provides a unique lens through which to view the challenges common to understanding both Japan and China. This highly readable collection will be important to scholars both inside and beyond the field of East Asian studies.

Download or read book Cultural Shock Taiwan written by Dr. Georg Woodman and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-06-07 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Its a social statement; exposing the cultural bondage to traditions over common sense, logic and 21st-century-order. The obvious ineffectiveness of government, the lackadaisical enforcements of rules and laws, the selfishness of the individual superseding social orders. The beyond-time mentality over the salvages of most modern innovations - all in total contrast to the other. The daily lifes effect by traditional thinking; yet the attempt to link to the 21st century, in absurd attempts. In my conclusion Id say that Taiwan is still clearly a 3rd-world-country, however willing to pirate for all the modern gadgets, yet unable/willing to surrender outdated traditions and customs. And, in most, not willing to socially unite to and as one (society). Individualism is (still) way too prevalent to announce Taiwan a country and a society.
