Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three Heroes Swear Brotherhood In The Peach Garden; One Victory Shatters The Rebels In Battlegrounds. Domains under heaven, after a long period of division, tends to unite; after a long period of union, tends to divide. This has been so since antiquity. When the rule of the Zhou Dynasty weakened, seven contending kingdoms sprang up, warring one with another until the kingdom of Qin prevailed and possessed the empire. But when Qin’s destiny had been fulfilled, arose two opposing kingdoms, Chu and Han, to fight for the mastery. And Han was the victor. The rise of the fortunes of Han began when Liu Bang the Supreme Ancestor slew a white serpent to raise the banners of uprising, which only ended when the whole empire belonged to Han (BC 202). This magnificent heritage was handed down in successive Han emperors for two hundred years, till the rebellion of Wang Mang caused a disruption. But soon Liu Xiu the Latter Han Founder restored the empire, and Han emperors continued their rule for another two hundred years till the days of Emperor Xian, which were doomed to see the beginning of the empire’s division into three parts, known to history as The Three Kingdoms. But the descent into misrule hastened in the reigns of the two predecessors of Emperor Xian—Emperors Huan and Ling—who sat in the Dragon Throne about the middle of the second century. Emperor Huan paid no heed to the good people of his court, but gave his confidence to the Palace eunuchs. He lived and died, leaving the scepter to Emperor Ling, whose advisers were Regent Marshal Dou Wu and Imperial Guardian Chen Fan. Dou Wu and Chen Fan, disgusted with the abuses of the eunuchs in the affairs of the state, plotted the destruction for the power-abusing eunuchs. But Chief Eunuch Cao Jie was not to be disposed of easily. The plot leaked out, and the honest Dou Wu and Chen Fan were put to death, leaving the eunuchs stronger than before.

Download or read book Along the River During the Qingming Festival Chinese English written by 黃秀蘭 Shiu-Lan(Jully) Huang and published by 天行書苑. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 《清明上河圖》電子書中/英文版簡介 Along the River During the Qingming Festival eBook Chinese&English version Description 〈清明上河圖〉為北宋張擇端所繪，圖為絹本，淡著色，長528公分，高24.8公分。「清明」為清明節之意，「上河」為當時習俗，人們於清明祭掃祖墳之後登臨上橋，臨風顧盼京城與汴河之美，或遊逛飲食於橋上攤販、橋畔河市，便是所謂的「清明上河」。畫中可以看到許多清明節的習俗，如「王家紙馬店」前的紙紮樓閣、城外楊柳雜花裝簇轎頂的掃墓隊伍、橋頭數家販賣泥人黃胖的攤販、還有掃墓歸來後於城中聚飲的景象，都與《東京夢華錄》所描述之北宋宣和年間汴京的清明風俗相為表裏，是宋代風俗畫的傳世鉅作。 The Along the River During the Qingming Festival was painted by Chang Ze-Duan of North Song Dynasty on silk. Painted in light colors, it is 528cm wide and 24.8cm tall. Qingming implies Qingming Festival or Tomb Sweeping Festival. “Shang He” (above the river) was a norm at that time. After worshipping the ancestors and sweeping their tombs, people would get on the bridge to enjoy the view of Bianjing and River Bian. Or they may wander along the bridge and buy snacks from the vendors there and visit the riverside towns. This is what “Qingming Shang He” means. In the painting, we can see many of the norms of Qingming Festival, such as the pasted paper building miniatures in front of the “Wang’s Paper Horse Shop,” the tomb sweeping team with sedan chairs decorated with willow branches and flowers outside the city, the vendors selling mud figurines at the entrances of the bridge, the people gathering and drinking after tomb sweeping, and more. These scenes are similar to the descriptions of The Eastern Capital: A Dream of Splendor. In short, it is a masterpiece of social norms painting completed in the Song Dynasty. 天行書苑希望以如實的態度，將〈清明上河圖〉的內涵與美，真實地陳述與展現，讓讀者可以藉由文字的描述與圖畫的欣賞，感受九百多年前描繪北宋汴京城的繪畫之美，並體會畫家張擇端在構圖上、思想上的用心。我們以淺顯易懂的文字，深入淺出為全畫作鉅細靡遺的詮釋，盡量讓本書解讀符合於北宋真實原貌，若有考校不周之處，還望讀者見諒。 Cosmos Classics hopes to delineate and demonstrate the connotations and beauty of Along the River During the Qingming Festival in a candid attitude to allow readers to feel the beauty of this portrayal of the Bianjing in North Song Dynasty nine hundred years ago through textual guides of this book and the appreciation of this painting.

From right to left, it is divided into three parts in accordance with their themes “Leisure Atmosphere in the Suburb Greens,” “The Busy Water Transportation on River Bian,” and “The Prosperous Bianjing City.” According to their features, Along the River During the Qingming Festival is divided into forty zones. In the beginning of the essay, a lighted and focused thumbnail is provided to allow readers to understand the location of the discussions. In the essays, magnified graphics of the small zones are attached as illustrations to allow readers to observe every person and every corner carefully in detail. 書中引用資料的取材以同一時期描述北宋徽宗崇寧到宣和(西元1102-1125)年間北宋汴京的《東京夢華錄》為主要參考依據，並以宋代史書、宋人筆記、宋代詩詞深入闡述圖畫中的人、事、物，期許能契合圖旨。而專業構件則以專業書籍為參考，《營造法式》比對畫中建築結構，《天工開物》揣摩畫中船隻構造，《宋史‧輿服志》推演當時車式、轎子、服飾，《東京夢華錄》考察民情風俗與京城地理方位，再佐以當代對〈清明上河圖〉的研究書籍與論文，希望帶給讀者全面而真實的解讀。 The major reference of this book The Eastern Capital: A Dream of Splendor, which records the events happening between 1102 and 1125, during the time of prosperity of Bianjing from the year of Chongning to the year of Xuanhe of Hui Zhong of North Song Dynasty, during the years of the completion of this painting. In addition, history,journals and poetry written on Song Dynasty are also referenced to explain the characters, events and things portrayed in the painting, hoping to remain faithful to the theme. As to the professional parts, the Treatise on Architectural Methods or State Building Standards is consulted to compare with the structure of the architecture in the painting. The Exploitation of the Works of Nature is consulted to find out the structure of the boats. “On the Carts and Costumes” in Song History is consulted to pinpoint the making of the carts, sedan chairs and costumes of that period. The Eastern Capital: A Dream of Splendor is consulted to examine the social norms and the geographical location of the capital. Of course, reference books and articles on Along the River During the Qingming Festival are read to present a complete interpretation on the painting. 一代界畫大師張擇端為我們留下了北宋都城形象的第一手資料，商業貿易、穿著服飾、民情風俗、建築樣式、家具器物、交通工具等方面，都具有重要的歷史文獻參考價值。而其豐富的人文內涵、人道情懷也使這幅畫得以再三品味，越是細讀、越能體會畫家的用心，給人一種餘韻猶存、意猶未盡之感。故其在中國乃至世界繪畫史上被奉為經典之作，是中國十大傳世名畫之一，也被譽為「中華第一神品」。在二十一世紀的今日展卷細品〈清明上河圖〉，依然令人讚嘆動容，此幅世代廣為流傳的名畫，歷經戰爭紛擾、朝代更迭、世事變遷，仍屹立世間，偉大的畫作永遠能突破時間與空間的限制，達到不朽，展現人類美學文化的普世價值。 The great Jiehua(Margin Painting) painter Chang Ze-Duan left us with the first hand materials of the image of capital city in the North Song Dynasty, including trade and commercial activities, costumes and social norms architectural style, furniture and vessels, transportation, and more. All of them are of high historical value. Moreover, its humanistic connotations and sensations allow us to read and re-read this painting. The closer we read it, the more we can find the painter’s intentions. It always impresses us with its infinite charms that echo in our hearts. Therefore, it is regarded as a classic in Chinese and world history of art. Ranked as one of the top ten Chinese paintings, it is also renowned as the “first and heavenly work in Chinese painting.” Viewing this picture Along the River During the Qingming Festival in the 21st century, it still wins our exclamations. This masterpiece has been passed down from generation to generation, having gone through wars and dynasties, and shifts in times, with unchanging values. Great paintings can always prevail over the limits of time and space to become immortal, demonstrating the beauty of aesthetics and universal human values. 《清明上河圖》雖然並不是中國歷史上唯一描繪京城的圖畫，但卻是美術史上保留最完整的汴京風俗人情畫，從本書的圖文解構式析述與平實趣味的介紹中，得以一窺北宋黃金時期汴京城之真實風貌，撫今追昔，天行書苑以現代科技電子書，製作編輯北宋畫師張擇端的《清明上河圖》，期盼這一代中國人不斷與傳統對話，融合古今，在經典中創造藝術的新時代里程碑，進而分享於全球，讓世人共享中華藝術之美好。 Although Along the River During the Qingming Festival is not the only painting that portrays the capital in Chinese history, it is the most complete painting that captures the social norms and characters of Bianjing in art history. From the illustrations, deconstructive interpretations, and plain and simple introduction of this book, readers can have a glimpse of the authentic picture of Bianjing during the North Song Dynasty. Reminiscing the past, Cosmos Classics has edited and released Along the River During the Qingming Festival by Chang Ze-Duan, a North Song Dynasty painter, in electronic book format.
