Book Ruan Yuan  1764 1849

  • Author : Betty Peh-T'I Wei
  • Publisher : Hong Kong University Press
  • Release : 2006-08-01
  • ISBN : 9789622097858
  • Pages : 432 pages

Download or read book Ruan Yuan 1764 1849 written by Betty Peh-T'I Wei and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2006-08-01 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the life and work of Ruan Yuan (1764–1849), a scholar-official of renown in mid-Qing China prior to the Opium War, before traditional institutions and values became altered by incursions from the West. His distinction as an official, scholar, and patron of learning has been recognized by both his contemporaries and modern scholars. He was also exulted as an honest official and an exemplary man of the 'Confucian persuasion'. His name is mentioned in almost all the works on Qing history or Chinese classics because of the wide range of his research and publications. A number of these publications are still being reprinted today. This is the first full-length biography of Ruan Yuan in English, and the only one focusing on all aspects of the man's life and work in the context of his time. It follows Ruan Yuan from his childhood in Yangzhou, expansion of his intellectual horizons and political network in Beijing, his long service in the provinces handling some of the most thorny issues of the day in security and control, to the glory as a senior statesman in the capital, and retirement in Yangzhou.

Book The Last Emperors

    Book Details:
  • Author : Evelyn S. Rawski
  • Publisher : Univ of California Press
  • Release : 1998
  • ISBN : 0520228375
  • Pages : 513 pages

Download or read book The Last Emperors written by Evelyn S. Rawski and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Qing Dynasty was the last of the conquest dynasties to rule China. Its rulers, Manchus from the north, held power for three centuries despite major cultural and ideological differences with the Han majority. In this book, Evelyn Rawski re-interprets the remarkable success of this dynasty, arguing that it derived not from the assimilation of the dominant Chinese culture but rather from an artful synthesis of Manchu leadership styles with Han Chinese policies.

Book Presence

    Book Details:
  • Author : Robert Maniura
  • Publisher : Routledge
  • Release : 2017-07-05
  • ISBN : 135155333X
  • Pages : 341 pages

Download or read book Presence written by Robert Maniura and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In about 25 BC tribesmen of the kingdom of Meroe placed a bronze head of Augustus, cut from a full-length statue, beneath the steps of a temple of victory: the decapitated head of the Emperor was thus regularly trampled underfoot. Two millennia later, during the second Gulf War, Iraqis 'insulted' a toppled bronze statue of Saddam Hussein by beating it with their shoes. Do these chronologically distant but apparently related examples of the defamation of images imply that the persons represented were regarded by their detractors as in some way 'present' in the images? Presence: The Inherence of the Prototype within Images and Other Objects reconsiders the notion of 'presence' in objects. The first book to address the issue directly, it contains a series of case studies covering a broad geographical and chronological range from ancient Greece and the Incas to industrial America and contemporary India, as well as examples from the canon of western European art. The studies reveal the widespread evidence for this striking form of response and allow readers to see how 'presence' is evoked and either embraced or repressed in differing historical and cultural contexts. Featuring a variety of disciplines and approaches, the book will be of interest to students of art history, art theory, visual culture, anthropology, psychology and philosophy.

Book Soulstealers

  • Author : Philip A KUHN
  • Publisher : Harvard University Press
  • Release : 2009-06-30
  • ISBN : 0674039777
  • Pages : 316 pages

Download or read book Soulstealers written by Philip A KUHN and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Midway through the reign of the Ch'ien-lung emperor, Hungli, mass hysteria broke out among the common people. It was feared that sorcerers were roaming the land, clipping off the ends of men's queues (the braids worn by royal decree) and chanting magical incantations over them in order to steal the souls of their owners. In a fascinating chronicle of this epidemic of fear and the official prosecution of soulstealers that ensued, Philip Kuhn opens a window on the world of eighteenth-century China.
