Download or read book The History of Literature in Sui Tang and Five Dynasties written by Li Shi and published by DeepLogic. This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is the volume of “The History of Literature in Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties” among a series of books of “Deep into China Histories”. The earliest known written records of the history of China date from as early as 1250 BC, from the Shang dynasty (c. 1600–1046 BC) and the Bamboo Annals (296 BC) describe a Xia dynasty (c. 2070–1600 BC) before the Shang, but no writing is known from the period The Shang ruled in the Yellow River valley, which is commonly held to be the cradle of Chinese civilization. However, Neolithic civilizations originated at various cultural centers along both the Yellow River and Yangtze River. These Yellow River and Yangtze civilizations arose millennia before the Shang. With thousands of years of continuous history, China is one of the world's oldest civilizations, and is regarded as one of the cradles of civilization.The Zhou dynasty (1046–256 BC) supplanted the Shang and introduced the concept of the Mandate of Heaven to justify their rule. The central Zhou government began to weaken due to external and internal pressures in the 8th century BC, and the country eventually splintered into smaller states during the Spring and Autumn period. These states became independent and warred with one another in the following Warring States period. Much of traditional Chinese culture, literature and philosophy first developed during those troubled times.In 221 BC Qin Shi Huang conquered the various warring states and created for himself the title of Huangdi or "emperor" of the Qin, marking the beginning of imperial China. However, the oppressive government fell soon after his death, and was supplanted by the longer-lived Han dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD). Successive dynasties developed bureaucratic systems that enabled the emperor to control vast territories directly. In the 21 centuries from 206 BC until AD 1912, routine administrative tasks were handled by a special elite of scholar-officials. Young men, well-versed in calligraphy, history, literature, and philosophy, were carefully selected through difficult government examinations. China's last dynasty was the Qing (1644–1912), which was replaced by the Republic of China in 1912, and in the mainland by the People's Republic of China in 1949.Chinese history has alternated between periods of political unity and peace, and periods of war and failed statehood – the most recent being the Chinese Civil War (1927–1949). China was occasionally dominated by steppe peoples, most of whom were eventually assimilated into the Han Chinese culture and population. Between eras of multiple kingdoms and warlordism, Chinese dynasties have ruled parts or all of China; in some eras control stretched as far as Xinjiang and Tibet, as at present. Traditional culture, and influences from other parts of Asia and the Western world (carried by waves of immigration, cultural assimilation, expansion, and foreign contact), form the basis of the modern culture of China.
Download or read book The Western Films of Robert Mitchum written by Gene Freese and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Mitchum was--and still is--one of Hollywood's defining stars of Western film. For more than 30 years, the actor played the weary and cynical cowboy, and his rough-and-tough presence on-screen was no different than his one off-screen. With a personality fit for western-noir, Robert Mitchum dominated the genre during the mid-20th century, and returned as the anti-hero again during the 1990s before his death. This book lays down the life of Mitchum and the films that established him as one of Hollywood's strongest and smartest horsemen. Going through early classics like Pursued (1947) and Blood on the Moon (1948) to more recent cult favorites like Tombstone (1993) and Dead Man (1995), Freese shows how Mitchum's nuanced portrayals of the iconic anti-hero of the West earned him his spot in the Cowboy Hall of Fame.
Download or read book Decolonial Animal Ethics in Linda Hogan s Poetry and Prose written by Małgorzata Poks and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-28 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decolonial Animal Ethics in Linda Hogan’s Poetry and Prose is a plea for an urgent redefinition of human-animal relations on the basis of a nonanthropocentric animal ethic embraced by premodern Indigenous communities but depreciated by coloniality. Without decolonial revisions of animal subjectivity and personhood, the animal genocide can never truly stop. It is also a close reading of Linda Hogan’s poetry and prose in search of the coordinates of a decolonized animal ethic which would foster interspecies becoming. Having defined the recurring tropes, motifs, and attitudes that underpin Hogan’s treatment of nonhuman animals, the book moves on to trace the way she depicts the human-animal bond, especially in the face of the destructive anthropogenic impact. The major questions guiding the analysis of Hogan’s oevre are as follows: who are the animals we share our earthly lives with; what can they teach us about ourselves; how can animals guide us toward more sustainable futures; and what are the conditions of possibility of an interspecies, human-animal thriving. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of Indigenous Studies, Decolonial Studies, Animal Studies, Ecocriticism, Anthropocene Studies, as well as readers of Linda Hogan’s literary works.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cowboy poems about 13 year old boy "Ropin' a moose, "At a loggin' camp up in the Highwood Range, Where I worked as a kid; I tried to arrange; My thoughts on loggin', and of cowboyin' and such. I worked there at loggin', while keepin' in touch, With the cowboy aspects; of usin' my rope; On anythin' movin' with ever a hope, Of me catchin' a critter, a dog, or a cat, Or a chicken, a mouse, or even a bat. One mornin' while ridin' along on my horse, I heard a slight noise, and I spotted the source, A big old cow moose wandered up close into view. So I flipped out my rope; and I caught her too......................' About a young boy coming in contact with a large grizzly bear on a one way trail; "Ridin' by myself on a narrow goat trail, On the side of a mountain where rocks prevail. The trail was narrow with a hundred foot drop, On the near horse side as we're nearin' the top. Around a sharp bend I came right face to face, With a grizzly bear who halted my pace. My horse was shakin'; not the only one scared. I had no rifle and I wasn't prepared...................'About starting a wild curly gelding; "The sun was about to crest the far horizon on a fresh Alberta morn'. As I tacked up a "wildy" curly gelding, with a saddle not 'for worn. He was a North American Curly caught wild on the plains. As a six year old he was caught and gelded and now to use his brains. He stood there like a trooper as I cinched him up a mite. I took him for a tiny walk 'for I pulled it kind'er tight.................' About a young lad being snowed in at a cow camp on Christmas Eve; "In an old line shack, way out in the back, I'm a dreamin' of Christmas chuck. Out where there's some gells and those Christmas bells. But snow bound right in here I'm stuck. The cold North winds cry, while the drifts grow high. And the flame is blazing higher. I do realize there are no supplies, As I stoke up the blazing fire. ' About cowboys and a biker crew fight; "We're traveling slow as we chanced to go to a small town out in The West. And it was right there that Jake and "The" Bear were to prove they were the best. Now Jake and "The" Bear, a team ropin' pair, and this small town had a meet. Before we got down to this little town we figured we'd better eat. But then parked not far from that tiny bar; was a dozen bikers sat there. I then tried to hide all my fear inside as tension filled up the air. And the tension grew as the biking crew got to shovin' their weight 'round. And just then I said "Before we're all dead let's find some other new ground." But, as was our fate, it was just too late; their leader, a brute' of a guy. All dressed up in black, and there on his back, were the words that said.........................' About a cowhand (A lady cowgirl); "Ya! I saw the cowhand smack the riggin' onto that old bronco's back. I had a strong and hunchy feeling: That, right there, I'd seen the knack. ' About a calf roping in the rain; "At a rodeo at Barrhead, when I was livin' the life, On a little white mare that belonged to my wife. On a day that the weather could change at the drop of a hat; The Alberta weather can surely get like that. I rode in and I entered the box on that memorable day, In an arena where footing was sand and clay. The weather was sure unpromisin' with the lightnin' and all, As I backed up in the box and made it my call.............' All these poems and many, many more during part of the life of Ron Gale.
