Full textAbstract:
In this paper, I examine the presentation of animals in medieval Chinese Buddhist biographies. These biographies tell stories about strange animals, whose behavior signals that they are far from ordinary—some local deities, underlings of such deities, or even former friends from a past life. By focusing on two biography collections separated in time by over 100 years, in this paper, I argue that the differing presentation of animals reflects the changing fortunes of Buddhism in China, from its early establishment to its successful reception by the imperial court.

Full textAbstract:
The article draws on documents from the United State Archive of the Chelyabinsk Region to examine biographies of Chinese migrants repressed in 1937-38. Although main location of the Chinese in the Urals in the 1920-1930s was the Middle Urals (Perm and Sverdlovsk), their presence has been traced in the Chelyabinsk region. Comprehensive reconstruction of Chinese migration in the USSR demands introduction of these sources to scientific use. The 1930s archival documents, primarily the investigative files of the repressed, demonstrate socio-demographic features of the Chinese and their most typical biographies in the pre-war USSR. They were mostly of the Soviet era wave of migration, originating from the Shandong province. Some adapted well in society, married Russian women and had children. However, many remained illiterate, engaged in heavy physical labor. Qualitative analysis of personal files shows main trajectories of Chinese migration to the South Urals from the Far East or from large cities (Moscow, Irkutsk, Khabarovsk, etc.), where Chinese communities appeared in the 1920s. State pressure on the Chinese community strengthened in the late 1920s ? early 1930s, forcing them to change their place of residence. Political changes in the USSR made the Chinese abandon their private enterprises and trade, their main niche in the 1920s. In 1937–38, a wave of repression rolled and, according to our estimates, almost half of the Chinese in the Chelyabinsk region were declared “spies and agents of Japanese intelligence.” The biographies of the repressed testify that under favorable conditions they could have contributed to creation of an organized Chinese community, since they had influence over Chinese migrants, as well as experience of organizational work and of participating in the Civil War.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Jamāl al-Dīn (Zhamaluding 札馬魯丁 d. ca.1289) is probably the most successful and best-documented Muslim astronomer who was active in the Mongol Yuan court. He migrated from Central or West Asia to China and introduced Islamic astronomical, geographical and cartographic knowledge into China. In spite of his high official position and the honorable titles that were granted to him, his biographic information in Chinese sources is scattered, and there is uncertainty in identifying him in non-Chinese sources. This paper attempts to reconstruct Jamāl al-Dīn’s life and activities by an in-depth reading and interpretation of the biographic information, supplementing and enriching it with biographies of Jamāl al-Dīn’s contemporary astronomers in the Mongol Empire. This article argues that Jamāl al-Dīn achieved success and honor due to his knowledge in various fields that interested the Mongols, his correct reading of the imperial ideology and the political map, and the extensive social networks he built for himself during the decades he lived in China.

Full textAbstract:
This paper explores how lay female believers are depicted in the Chinese monastic Pure Land Buddhist texts and how a particular late-imperial Chinese Buddhist biography collection betrayed the previously existing narrative of female laity. Moreover, I wish to show that there had existed a long-lasting and persistent non-binary narrative of lay women in Chinese Pure Land biographies admiring female agency, in which female Pure Land practitioners are depicted as equally accomplished to male ones. Such a narrative betrays the medieval monastic elitist discourse of seeing women as naturally corrupted. This narrative is best manifested in the late Ming monk master Yunqi Zhuhong’s collection, who celebrated lay female practitioners’ religious achievement as comparable to men. This tradition is discontinued in the Confucian scholar Peng Shaosheng’s collection of lay female Buddhist biographies in the Qing dynasty, however, in which Peng depicts women as submissive and inferior to males. This transition—from using the stories of eminent lay female Buddhists to challenge Confucian teachings to positioning lay females under Confucian disciplines—exhibits Peng Shaosheng’s own invention, rather than a transmission of the inherited formulaic narration of lay female believers, as he claimed.

Full textAbstract:
This paper shows that the early Qing Chinese Buddhist monk Zaisan Hongzan’s belief in Maitreya and Tuṣita Heaven pure lands, as reflected in his collection of miracle tales and biographies, should be understood in a broader socio-religious context of Chan decline and monastic revival in late imperial China. It is important to notice that instead of advocating for the combination of Chan and Amitābha’s Pure Land of Bliss practice, Hongzan proposed the most severe criticism of the Chinese Chan tradition since the Song dynasty. Through both his personal doctrinal writings and the narrative strategies applied in his Tuṣita Heaven miracle tales, Hongzan vividly displayed his concerns about literary Chan practice and argued for the pivotal and urgent need for Vinaya among monastic communities. Hongzan’s personal anti-Chan sentiment and his intention to reestablish the study and practice of Buddhist Vinaya disciplines in a time of alleged “crisis” of Chinese Buddhism strongly influenced how he composed and transcribed eminent monks’ biographies related to the cult of Maitreya and Tuṣita Heaven. A “hagiographic” reading of Hongzan’s miracle tale collections is necessary to understand his religious discourse in this special historical stage in China.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. The paper analyzes available Chinese-language scientific works that review contemporary history of the Daur people and examine its different aspects. Goals. The study attempts a historiographic analysis of certain Chinese-language scholarly publications (monographs, articles) dealing with contemporary history of the Daurs. So, the objectives be set and tackled thereto shall include insights into peculiarities of Chinese historiography pertaining to contemporary Daur history, reviews of monographs containing related materials, and analyses of Chinese scientists’ articles considering significant events and facts of 20th-century Daur history. Conclusions. The paper shows China’s historiography of contemporary Daur history is abundant in scientific works, both monographs and diverse articles. Peculiarities inherent to regional collections of articles largely authored by ethnic Daurs result, in our opinion, from that the shaping of historiographical science in the PRC remains somewhat incomplete. The monographs undoubtedly contain a large amount of factual materials on many aspects of contemporary Daur history. However, those are distinguished by the traditional Chinese approach to the study of history characterized by that chronologies of events (chronicles) and biographies of famous figures hold central and unshakable positions. The articles also contain various facts, descriptions of specific historical events and characters, e.g., the peasant uprising of Shaolang and Daifu, biographies of the revolutionary Guo Daofu (Merse), participation of Daurs in the anti-Japanese movement. Another peculiarity traced is that the articles widely use data collected from informants, which is supposedly due to that Chinese sources covering regional history are few enough, and the special value of information provided by participants or eyewitnesses of those events.

Full textAbstract:
Stalinists legitimized their methods by saying “you can't make omelets without breaking eggs.” Others might ask, “you broke lots of eggs, but where are the omelets?” These three biographies of Deng Xiaoping are only the most recent of biographies of epoch-making Chinese leaders that assess the ratio of broken eggs to finished omelets. Reading them together with the body of reviews provokes questions about how biography as a genre can usefully address historical analysis and moral judgment. How much could a single leader transform China? Did Deng merely inherit institutions and decisive policies from earlier leaders or is China today somehow “Deng's China”? What can we learn about the problems from reviewers and critics?

Chen, Qi. "Physiognomy of Rulers in Italian and Chinese History and Biography." Doctoral thesis, Scuola Normale Superiore, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/11384/86078.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of this dissertation is to analyze the representations of rulers, in
Italian and Chinese history and biography, in the light of antique
physiognomic theories. The description of rulers, with the reference of
physiognomy, is used as one of the methods of propaganda or persuasion of
the legitimacy or power of the ruler.
The physiognomy of ruler may be considered from two perspectives. One
is the ruler’s body, that is, what physical appearances of the rulers are
described, sometimes at the expense of likeness, both in Italian and Chinese
history and biography, and how these features are similar and thus might
make the rulers in one type. The other is the body of ruler, that is, what kind
of physical features makes the particular person ruler and how these features
are exclusively established as templates and help to legitimate the
heaven-given or god-given power. In the same framework, through the
comparison of the Chinese and Italian physiognomy of rulers, figuring out
their similarities and differences, analyzing possible causes of such
description, we demonstrated the cultural and political diversities as well.

Full textAbstract:
L’écriture de l’histoire a toujours été une discipline reine dans la Chine impériale, et elle a notamment donné lieu à la production d’un corpus encyclopédique constitué de vingt-six histoires dynastiques officielles. Notre thèse a pour but de fournir une étude de la place occupée par la médecine et les médecins dans ce corpus. Rédigés selon un modus operandi très particulier, les documents examinés consistent essentiellement en des biographies, complètes ou partielles, d’experts en médecine (yi 醫). Nous savons aujourd’hui que ces textes étaient plus prescriptifs que descriptifs, et qu’ils ne sauraient être utilisés comme seule source pour une étude historique sérieuse. La question est alors de déterminer comment tirer le meilleur parti de la mine d’informations qu’ils mettent à disposition du chercheur. Pour répondre à cette question, nous proposons d’abord une étude synthétique de l’écriture de l’histoire en Chine, de ses genres, et plus particulièrement du genre biographique, pour ensuite étudier de manière statistique et analytique la place de la médecine dans les histoires dynastiques. La deuxième partie de notre travail se plonge plus spécifiquement dans l’étude des cent quarante-deux biographies de médecins contenues dans le corpus : après avoir décrit, classé et analysé l’ensemble de leur contenu, nous exposons l’usage qu’il est possible de faire de ces informations dans les trois domaines que sont l’histoire des textes, l’histoire sociale et l’histoire de la médecineHistoriography has always been a major discipline in Imperial China, producing among other works the encyclopedic corpus known as the Twenty-Six Standard Histories. This dissertation aims at examining the place dedicated to medicine and physicians in this corpus. Written following a very specific modus operandi, the Standard Histories provide the readers numerous biographies of experts in medicine (yi 醫). As we know today, these texts were more prescriptive than descriptive, and one should not base any serious historical study of medicine on these sources alone. The question then is how to make the most out of the large amount of information they bring to scholarly attention. To answer this question, I first propose a synthetic overview of historical writings in China, of the textual genres to which they belong, with a special focus on the biographical genre, and then undertake a statistic and analytic study of the place dedicated to medicine in Chinese historical records. The second part of the dissertation deals more specifically with the one hundred and forty-two biographies of physicians contained in the Standard Histories: after having identified, classified and analyzed all of their contents, I set out the uses that can be made of this huge piece of information in the fields of textual criticism, social history, and the history of medicine

Full textAbstract:
Cette étude de la vie et de l’époque de Du Guangting se présente sous la forme d’une chronique biographique avec des digressions historiques ou des précisions concernant l’œuvre de Du achevée dans une période donnée. Elle se fonde sur une documentation diverse qui comprend historiographie officielle et privée, recueils littéraires et religieux, mémoriaux de cour et liturgiques, épigraphie, poésie, et les découvertes archéologiques récentes au Sichuan. La biographie proprement dite identifie cinq phases marquantes de la vie de Du Guangting : sa formation comme taoïste de cour (jusqu’à l’âge de 25 ans) ; son emploi à la cour de l’empereur Xizong à Changan (jusqu’à 31 ans) ; l’exil à Chengdu (jusqu’à 35 ans) ; la période de transition entre l’effondrement des Tang et la fondation du royaume des Shu au Sichuan (jusqu’à 43 ans) et sa carrière à la cour des Shu (jusqu’à 75 ans). L’Annexe présente une édition annotée du texte de la première véritable biographie de Du Guangting. Celle-ci fut incluse dans le recueil hagiographique de Jia Shanxiang, "Vies d’éminents taoïstes", vers la fin du 11e siècle et ne subsiste aujourd’hui que sous forme de fragments. L’Annexe est suivie d’une bibliographie classée (avec un index alphabétique) qui rassemble les 126 ouvrages actuellement identifiés comme étant associés au nom de Du Guangting. Une liste des principaux ouvrages cités, enfin, permet le renvoi abrégé à un certain nombre d’ouvrages dans les notesThe present study of the life and times of Tu Kuang-T'ing is organized as a biographical chronicle with historical digressions and discussions of Tu’s works under their period of compilation. It is based on diverse primary sources, including official and private historiography, collections of literary and religious tales, court memorials and liturgical documents, epigraphy, poetry, and recent archaeological findings in Szechwan province. The biography of Tu itself distinguishes five important phases in his life: the making of the future court Taoist (up to age 25), his service at the court of Emperor Hsi-Tsung at Ch'ang-An (up to age 31), the exile at Ch'eng-Tu (up to age 35), the period of transition between the faltering T'ang dynasty and the foundation of the kingdom of Shu in Szechwan (up to age 43), and, finally, his career at the court of Shu (up to age 75). The text of the first substantial biography of Tu Kuang-T'ing is presented in a collated and annotated edition in the Appendix. It had formed part of the hagiographical collection entitled “Lives of eminent Taoists” by Chia Shan Hsiang in the late eleventh century and survives today only in fragments. The Appendix is followed by a classified bibliography of the 126 works currently identified as ascribed to Tu Kuang-T'ing. The list of principle works cited, finally, gives the full bibliographical details for those works which are cited in abbreviated references in the notes

A travers la biographie et l'oeuvre de shao yong, l'auteur a montre que : 1. Le neo-confucianisme et le taoisme n'etaient pas antagonistes a l'epoque song (du xe au xiiie siecles), ce qui introduit un changement de parapective dans etudes modernes sur la tradition ru en chine. A partir de ce constat, c'est le rapport du lettre a la religion. De son role et de sa place dans la societe qui sont remis en cause. 2. La pensee de shao yong se caracterise par une methode tetranomique, une combinatoire formelle et une arithmologie. Chacune de ses particularites constitue autant d'elements originaux dans une pensee que l7on dit volontiers correlative. Pragramtique et peu creatrice. 3. La poesie de shao yong, negligee par les commentateurs, est a la fois autobiographique, philosophique et cosmologique. Ce dernier aspect confere une place particuliere a la pensee qui se voit investie des criteres esthetiques de la "savouration"Through the study of shao yong's life and work, the author has shown that: thje song period (from the xth to the xiiith centuries), a conclusion that represents a new perspective within modern studies on the ru tradition in china. In the light of this, the relation between scholars and religion, and the role and position of scholars in society must be re-evaluated. 2. Shao yong's thought is caracterised by a tetranomic method, a formal combinatory and an aritbhomolgy. All of these are original elements in a thought otherwise correlative, pragmatic and not very creative. 3. Shao yon's poetry, which has been neglected by commentators, is at the same time autobiographical, philosophical and cosmological. This last cosmological aspect confers a special status to the thought in the poems, which is thereby invested with aesthectics criteria of "savouration"

Full textAbstract:
Le corps diplomatique et consulaire français en Chine de 1840 à 1911 ", présente une vision d'ensemble des diplomates et consuls dans les différents postes où ils se sont succédé depuis le milieu du XIXe siècle jusqu'au début du XXe. Cette évolution est découpée en trois parties chronologiques. " L'épopée " de 1840 à la fin des années 1870, " L'expansion " de l'avènement de la Troisième République jusqu'à 1900, " Le temps des crises " de 1900 à la révolution de 1911. Dans chacune de ces parties, l'évolution est étudiée sous trois aspects différents. Historique, elle décrit le rôle des agents du ministère à travers les différents événements depuis le règne de l'empereur Daoguang, jusqu'à la chute des Qing et l'avènement de la République. Géographique, elle montre l'implantation progressive des consulats et vice-consulats en Chine. Aux quatre concessions (Shanghai, Tientsin, Hankou et Canton), aux deux consulats (Hong Kong et Fouzhou) et à la légation de Pékin institués de 1840 à la fin des années 1870, viennent s'ajouter de nombreux postes situés presque essentiellement dans les provinces limitrophes du Tonkin avec l'avènement de la Troisième République et la conquête de l'Indochine. Après le protocole de 1901, bien que les menaces révolutionnaires se précisent peu à peu, la France, comme les autres puissances, est' à son apogée. En 1911, les Français sont présents dans une vingtaine de postes. Enfin un troisième aspect, sociologique, décrit l'évolution de la carrière diplomatique et consulaire appliquée spécifiquement à la Chine, ainsi que l'évolution des conditions de vie dans ce pays. Si ces dernières évoluent peu en dehors des améliorations matérielles dans les villes et les transports, les carrières diplomatique et consulaire subissent des transformations radicales avec l'arrivée au pouvoir des Républicains. Un meilleur recrutement assuré par des modalités beaucoup plus démocratiques amène dans la carrière des hommes de valeur. Ils remplacent en partie les agents issus de la noblesse, qui, jusque-là, constituaient l'essentiel du corps diplomatique et consulaire. Cent cinquante-sept notices biographiques complètent cette étudeThe french diplomatic and consular corps in China from 1840 to1911 > presents a global vision of the french diplomats and consuls at the different positions they occupied from the middle of the 19 th century to the biginning of the 20 th century. This évolution is divided in three chronological parts. " The epic " from 1840 to the end of 1870 years, " The expansion " from the advent of the Third Républic to 1900, " The crisis time " from 1900 to the 1911 Révolution. In each of these parts, the evolution is analyzed under three different aspects. An historic aspect describes the action of the french ministry agents through the different events from the emperor Daoguang's reign until the collaps of Qing and the advent of the Third Republic. An geographic aspect shows the progressive settlement of the consulates and vice-consulates in China. An sociologic aspect describes the évolution of the diplomatic and consular careers specifically applied to China, as well as the evolution of the living conditions in this country. One hundred and fifty seven biographic notes completes this thesis

Full textAbstract:
Shen jiaben est connu a la fois comme l'introducteur du droit occidental et comme le dernier grand juriste de la chine imperiale. Ce memoire cherche a restituer l'unite de ces deux aspects, dissocies par l'historiographie. La premiere partie retrace la carriere de shen jiaben au ministere des chatiments, et la reforme qu'il accomplit en tant que commissaire imperial a la revision de la legislation. La deuxieme partie inventorie les formes du droit chinois telles qu'elles etaient vehiculees par les traites circulant au cours du dix-neuvieme siecle. La troisieme partie reconstitue l'evolution de la legislation depuis les ming, telle que la concevaient les juristes des qing. La claire distinction entre loi penale et reglement administratif fut progressivement brouillee par la proliferation des precedents. Des le dix-huitieme siecle, des lettres pronerent un retour aux statuts, d'application claire et previsible. Le vaste programme de revision et d'abrogation des sous-statuts defini par xue yunsheng dans son duli cunyi, et sa mise en oeuvre par shen jiaben parallelement a la redaction de codes occidentalises, sont l'aboutissement d'une reflexion seculaire. Les edits de reforme ordonnerent que la codification a l'occidentale et la revision selon les conceptions chinoises soient menees conjointement. C'est ce qui explique que shen ait defini la reforme juridique comme "la fusion des droits ancien et nouveau, chinois et occidental"Shen jiaben (1840-1913) is known both as the introducer of western law in china and as the last imperial jurist. This thesis aims to unify these two aspects, the trends of recent historiography tendend to dissociate. The first part describes shen's career as official at the board of punishment, and his work as imperial commissioner for the revision of legislation. The second part is an analytical description of legal treatises circulating during the nineteenth century. The third part reconstitutes the evolution of legal system as viewed by qing jurists. The clear distinction of penal and administrative laws was confused by the disruptive effect of precedents (li). From the end of the eighteenth century on, scholars like yuan mei advocated for the return to the simplicity of the lu. Wue yunsheng's duli cunyi and the revision of imperial code by shen jiaben are directly inherited from those. Western law had no influence on chinese jurists until the hundred days reform. Afterwards, westernization and achievement of chinese trends of legal reform were jointly performed. At last, some of shen's writings, translated and commented, present a scope of what he called : "the melting of old and new, chinese and western laws"

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail s’intéresse au parcours d’une femme chinoise exceptionnelle, Yuding, née en 1928 en Chine. Il interroge la manière dont elle a pu assimiler des modèles de vie, de parenté, et d’alliance, totalement paradoxaux, en traversant des époques incroyablement contrastées – début de la République, guerre avec le Japon, guerre civile, période révolutionnaire, société socialiste, et aujourd’hui le temps de la mondialisation. Yuding, âgée aujourd’hui de 87 ans, a gardé sa foi dans l’aventure de la Chine maoïste, malgré au fond d’elle les blessures de cette période violente. Née dans une grande famille rompue à l’orthopraxie confucéenne (ritualité, morale, culte des ancêtres), elle subit ensuite l’influence d’un autre « formatage » : celui du maoïsme et de sa doctrine révolutionnaire. Très vite l’idéologie traditionnelle de « piété filiale » transmise par ses parents fait place à une autre forme de dévouement total au Parti communiste. Militante passionnée dès la Libération, elle mène une vie active au sein de la Fédération des Femmes. Interprète en langue française, elle est amenée à voyager tant en Europe qu’en Afrique, à une époque où bien peu de gens sortaient du territoire chinois. Pourtant, en tant qu’intellectuelle, elle est envoyée en 1968, dans un camp de travail « l’École du Sept mai » ce qui n’entame en rien son adhésion inconditionnelle à l’idéologie du Parti. Bientôt il n’y aura plus de personnes de sa génération, pionnières dans la construction de la République populaire de Chine, pour témoigner de cette époque. Sa biographie témoigne de ce vécu exceptionnelThis work deals with the life of an exceptional Chinese woman, Yuding, who was born in 1928 in China. It questions the way she has taken up totally paradoxical ways of life, kinship, and union, while living through incredibly uneven times - the beginning of the Republican era, the Second Sino-Japanese war, the civil war, the revolutionary era, the socialist society, and the current globalization. Yuding, presently 87, has kept faith in the venture proposed by the Maoist China, despite underlying wounds left by this violent period. Born in a leading family broken in to Confucian orthopraxy (rituality, morality, worship of the ancestors), Yuding then undergoes the influence of another “formatting” this of Maoism and its revolutionary doctrine. Very quickly, the traditional ideology of “filial devotion” passed on by her parents makes way for complete devotion to the Communist Party. Passionate activist from the Liberation, she leads an active life within the Women's Federation. French interpreter, she is brought round to traveling as much in Europe as in Africa, at a period during which very few persons were going out China. Yet, being an intellectual, she is sent to a labour camp “School of the Seventh of May” in 1968, but she doesn't lose her unquestioning adherence to the Party ideology. There soon won't be anybody from her generation, who was pioneer in the building of the People's Republic of China, to give accounts of this era. Her biography is a testimony of this exceptional experience

Personnage atypique de son milieu, F. Garnier nait en 1839 à St-Etienne dans une famille catholique et légitimiste. Rien ne le prédestine alors à devenir officier de marine républicain et voltairien, sinon un esprit farouchement indépendant et frondeur très tôt affirme. Diplômé de l'école navale en 1858, il est très vite arrache a sa famille avec laquelle il entretient des rapports passionnels. Enrôle dans les campagnes de chine et de Cochinchine, son avenir se joue dans ce 1er contact avec l’Asie. Toute son énergie tend alors à vouloir donner à la France sa place sur l'échiquier colonial et a en évincer l’Angleterre. Préfet de Cholon en 1864, appendice chinois de Saigon, il se distingue par de prodigieuses qualités d'intelligence, de travailleur, de décideur. Mais c'est surtout l'exploration du Mékong (1866-68) qui lui confère sa notoriété. Unanimement honore a son retour en France, il songe pourtant aussitôt a repartir en Asie. La guerre de 70 l'en empêche. Acteur du conflit, il tente vainement d'entrer en politique et s'insurge vivement contre la capitulation. Désormais mari et père, il s'installe à Shanghai à l'automne 1872 pour y mener à la fois des activités scientifiques et de commerce et entreprend plusieurs voyages en chine méridionale. En juillet 1873, un ordre de l'amiral-gouverneur le pousse imprudemment dans une aventure aussi soudaine que malheureuse. En acceptant de commander une expédition au Tonkin - en fait, une tentative de conquête camouflée- il signe son arrêt de mort, dévoré par ses ambitions. Un coup de folie le livre aux mains des pavillons noirs qui le décapitent le 21 xii 1873 après qu'il se soit emparé de la citadelle d'Hanoi, amorçant ainsi la conquête du Tonkin. Au cœur d'une polémique après sa mort, oublié des générations de l'après-Indochine française, il laisse cependant à la postérité quelques solides ouvrages théoriques sur le colonialisme et de passionnants récits de voyages
