SUMMARY:Xie Lingyun and Imperial Performance: Deploying the Language of the Chuci
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Harrison Huang\,  Assistant Professor\, East Asian Languages and Cultures\, Columbia University \nThe reception of the Chuci anthology has been largely framed around the representation of the attributed author Qu Yuan as a loyal subject.\nThis talk instead traces Qu Yuan ‘s earlier reception and contested status during the Han dynasty\, to show how the Chuci repertoire can be adopted for imperial performance\, as seen in Xie Lingyun’s poetry.

SUMMARY:"Underworld Law and Leeway:  Summoning the Earth God in Journey to the West"  鬼律與故縱：《西遊記》中的召喚土地
DESCRIPTION:***This event will be conducted in Chinese*** \nSpeaker: Li Fengmao 李豐楙 \, Chair Professor\, National Chengchi University; Professor Emeritus\, Academia Sinica\, Institute of Chinese Literature and Philosophy \n鬼律與故縱：《西遊記》中的召喚土地〉簡介 \n李豐楙 \n在西遊的奇傳敘述中，神魔鬥法前時常出現的，就是孫行者頻繁召喚土地，方能問明妖精、妖魔出處，其頻率雖高卻較少受到關注，原因應是被視為陪襯的小神。世德堂本敘述其出場方式，應該有其創作的用意，乃交互使用兩種聲音：顯聲音與潛聲音。前者借遊戲筆調表現滑稽的趣味，其實在掩飾其真實的潛聲音，主要即借此諷喻、影射明代、尤其世宗朝皇室。由於兩種聲音之間交織運用，若隱若現，亟待解讀。作者雖曾吸收先行材料，但其突破在其創意，乃化用了道、佛二教的文化資源。此處即從「召喚土地」情節切入，文本解讀配合文化解讀，其手法皆有宗教、尤其道教知識支持。在敘述層次上，顯聲音即召喚土地的方式，軟硬兼施，從喚出到拘得，形成表層聲音的滑稽趣味；唯關鍵的召喚動作簡繁俱有，即捻訣與念真言–從唵字到唵㘕淨法界，在此發現採用明代流行的准提信仰，因其盛行於文人中，作者即挪用密教的准提咒，並未襲用道教召土地神咒。而在召喚過程中，行者對待土地、山神的態度，即任意使喚；相對土地、山神則表現得異常惶恐。這種顯聲音背後隱藏的潛聲音，所運用的「故縱之嫌」筆法，乃化用道教法派的鬼律、黑律知識，用於規範城隍–土地：境內有精邪而未能通告者，即有故縱之嫌而會被杖或流放。作者所敍寫的當境土地，既知妖精、妖魔卻任令其行動，懼而未曾通報，此即「故縱之嫌」的敘寫手法。其目的則是諷喻，明代中葉以前實行里甲制，小說家影射當時事：其一明初洪武三年禮部官僚依禮定制里社壇制，即自然神；唯里甲居民仍崇拜人格神的土地，以致里社壇荒廢不用。其二里長、甲首負責里甲事務，即催稅、徴糧及徭役，但至中葉因稅役過重，導致里民逃脫，小說既有「逃門戶」、「大戶負擔元宵燈油」等，此種敘述即為潛聲音。其三敘述妖精、妖魔據洞稱王、差使土地，妖魔俱從天界私下凡間，此種顯聲音即試煉五聖、尤其唐僧的取經意志；並諷喻明代王府與地方豪族，在地方據土稱霸，使喚里長甲首。西遊交錯使用顯、潛兩種聲音，即可知荒唐、滑稽語底下，乃掩飾當世習知的社會怪現狀，當時人領會其諷喻手法的影射旨趣，今人則需重新解讀「故縱與鬼律」，方能深刻理解滑稽文學的嚴肅性，確定多層聲音所形成的交響，乃奇傳文體具有語言藝術的價值。 \n國立政治大學中國文學研究所國家文學博士，曾經擔任中央研究院中國文哲研究所研究員，其後轉任政治大學宗教研究所，擔任文學院講座教授，政治大學華人宗教研究中心主任；2015年退休後擔任中國文哲所兼任研究員、政治大學文學院榮譽講座教授。曾經訪問巴黎法蘭西學院、哈佛燕京學社；擔任中華民國「國科會」中國文學門召集人、「臺灣宗教學會」第二任理事長。

SUMMARY:The Indian Yogācāra Scholar Sthiramati and the Works Attributed to Him
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jowita Kramer\, Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich \nThis paper focuses on the scriptural corpus of Sthiramati\, a pivotal scholar in the development of Indian Yogācāra thought in the 6th century. So far Sthiramati’s work has received far less attention from modern scholars than the treatises of other Yogācāra authors like Asaṅga or Vasubandhu—probably because of the perception of Sthiramati as a commentator and not as an original author and thinker in his own right. However\, as I have tried to show in a recently published paper\, commentators like Sthiramati have shaped the doctrinal development of the Yogācāra tradition by introducing new concepts and reorganizing previous teachings to a similar extent as “independent” authors like Vasubandhu. In the first part I will give an overview of the works ascribed to Sthiramati and question their authorship. The second part of the paper will be mainly devoted to my editorial work on the Sanskrit manuscripts of Sthiramati’s commentaries made available at the China Tibetology Research Center in Beijing\, namely the Pañcaskandhakavibhāṣā and the Abhidharmakośabhāṣya Tattvārthā. \n

SUMMARY:Long-Term Trend and Spatial Pattern of PM2.5-Induced Premature Mortality in China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: WANG Haikun\, Associate Professor\, School of Environment\, Nanjing University \nSponsored by the China Project\, Harvard Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. \nWith rapid economic growth\, China has witnessed increasingly frequent and severe haze and smog episodes over the past decade\, posing serious health impacts to the Chinese population\, especially those in densely populated city clusters. Quantification of the spatial and temporal variation of health impacts attributable to ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has important implications for China’s policies on air pollution control. In this study\, we evaluated the spatial distribution of premature deaths in China between 2000 and 2010 attributable to ambient PM2.5 in accord with the Global Burden of Disease based on a high resolution population density map of China\, satellite retrieved PM2.5concentrations\, and provincial health data. Our results suggest that China’s anthropogenic ambient PM2.5 led to 1\,255\,400 premature deaths in 2010\, 42% higher than the level in 2000. Besides increased PM2.5 concentration\, rapid urbanization has attracted large population migration into the more developed eastern coastal urban areas\, intensifying the overall health impact. In addition\, our analysis implies that health burdens were exacerbated in some developing inner provinces with high population density (e.g. Henan\, Anhui\, Sichuan) because of the relocation of more polluting and resource-intensive industries into these regions. In order to avoid such national level environmental inequities\, China’s regulations on PM2.5 should not be loosened in inner provinces. Furthermore policies should create incentive mechanisms that can promote transfer of advanced production and emissions control technologies from the coastal regions to the interior regions.

SUMMARY:The Buddha and the Dragon Princess in the Lotus Sutra — for deciphering the Devadatta frontispiece in the Heike Tokyo set
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ryūichi Abé\, Harvard University \nThe Heike Nokyo is a sumptuously produced set of Buddhist scriptural handscrolls that was commissioned by the Heike military aristocratic clan and offered to the Goddess of Itsukushima\, the clan’s tutelary divinity\, in the mid-twelfth century.  The set is arguably the most sublime example of illustrated and decorated Buddhist scriptures in Japanese history.  The Heike Nokyo includes twenty-eight scrolls of the Lotus Sutra each of which is decked with a beautiful multicolor frontispiece that captures central motifs of the sutra’s each chapter.  Among them the “Dragon Princess” frontispiece of the Devadatta chapter scroll (Chapter Twelve) that depicts the Dragon Princess’s proffering her legendary jewel to Shakyamuni Buddha is particularly renowned for its splendor.  However\, unlike other sutra illustrations from the same period\, the Dragon Princess here does not transform herself into a male figure\, nor does she fly away to a buddha land in the south in order to be reborn there as a male Buddha.  Furthermore\, in contradistinction to the depiction in that chapter of the sutra in which the Buddha receives her jewel on Eagle Peak\, in the Heike Nokyo frontispiece the Buddha sits on a heavenly pure land; and Dragon Princess stands effortlessly on ocean waves.  No previous scholarship succeeded in deciphering this frontispiece as a narrative painting.  I argue that the Dragon Princess frontispiece represents an unusual effort by erudite Heike court ladies who grounded themselves on the authentic Sui and Tang Chinese doctrinal commentaries in order to reject the popular yet vulgar gender-biased interpretation of the Dragon Princess episode — that is\, she had to change her sex before she was able to attain enlightenment. The frontispiece aims at establishing a superior interpretation of the princess’s episode in the Lotus Sutra that positively illustrates female Buddhist practitioners’ agency in both attaining their own enlightenment and providing salvation to other beings\, both male and female.

SUMMARY:The Exile and Diplomacy of the 13th Dalai Lama (1904-1912): Tibet's Encounters with the US and Japan
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. Kobayashi Ryosuke (Toyo Bunko; HYI Visiting Scholar)\nChair/discussant: Prof. Leonard van der Kuijp (Harvard University)\n\nHarvard-Yenching Institute Lunch Talk \nThis talk will show how Tibet attempted to participate in the international community around the demise of the Qing Dynasty in 1912 by focusing on its relationships with the US and Japan. The sojourns of the 13th Dalai Lama (1876-1933) to Mongolia\, China and India from 1904 to 1912 were remarkable turning points that led him to reconsider the deteriorating relationship with the Qing dynasty and China and to begin participating in the modern international community. Through encounters with foreign dignitaries from Britain\, Russia\, the US and Japan\, the Dalai Lama\, who had never before been away from Tibet\, developed his understanding of the international community and of Tibet’s position in the world. This talk will discuss how the Dalai Lama conducted his diplomacy with the U.S. and Japan\, two newly influential countries in East Asia at the end of 19th century\, and how those countries dealt with Tibetan issues. \nhttps://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/exile-and-diplomacy-13th-dalai-lama-1904-1912-tibets-encounters-us-and-japan

SUMMARY:Unlikely Partners: Chinese Reformers\, Western Economists\, and the Making of Global China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Julian Gewirtz ’13  \nJulian Gewirtz will discuss his forthcoming book\, Unlikely Partners: Chinese Reformers\, Western Economists\, and the Making of Global China\, which Harvard University Press will publish in January. Writing for the New Yorker\, Evan Osnos summarizes: “The book tells the little-known story of how Chinese intellectuals and leaders\, facing a ruined economy at the end of the Cultural Revolution\, sought the help of foreign economists to rebuild. Between 1976 and 1993\, in a series of exchanges\, conferences\, and collaborations\, Western intellectuals sought not to change China but to help it change itself\, and they made indispensable contributions to China’s rise as a global economic power.”

SUMMARY:Working with Looted Manuscripts: A Vindication of the Peking University Han Bamboo Strips
DESCRIPTION:Over the last two decades\, remarkable collections of Warring States\, Qin and Han manuscripts have been purchased on the behalf of major academic institutions in China\, offering exciting new materials that have the potential to dramatically impact the study of early China. By the same token\, these collections also present a great risk to our field\, should they prove to be forgeries. With so much at stake\, it is important not only to discuss candidly the authentication of purchased manuscripts\, but also to reflect upon the role our scholarship plays in enticing continued looting. In this talk\, I introduce the immense value of one such collection\, the Peking University Han bamboo strips\, and make an argument for both its antiquity and further study. Recently\, it has been proposed that the Peking University Laozi 老子manuscript is in fact a forgery. Drawing in part from my own observations of the artifact\, I refute this accusation. An initial methodology for positively authenticating the Peking University Han manuscripts is also offered\, and content from the Cang Jie Pian 蒼頡篇– another manuscript in this cache that is the focus of my research – is raised in particular as a case study. Having established confidence in the antiquity of these texts\, ethical concerns over the study of purchased artifacts are then addressed\, giving voice to the “rescue archaeology” orientation largely adopted in Chinese scholarship. My hope is to inspire a more open dialogue over how to engage the Peking University Han manuscripts responsibly in our research\, as they are simply too important for scholars to ignore. \nSpeaker: Christopher Foster is a PhD candidate in Harvard University’s East Asian Languages and Civilizations Department. His dissertation\, “Textual Production in Early China: A Study of the Cang Jie Pian Character Book\,” utilizes newly excavated manuscript sources to evaluate the role of writing during the Western Han period.

SUMMARY:The Mining Industry\, Caravan Transportation and Ethnic Mobilization in southwest China from the 17th to 19th Century
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. Ma Jianxiong (Hong Kong U. of Science and Technology; HYI Visiting Scholar)\nChair/discussant: Prof. Michael Szonyi (Director\, Harvard University Fairbank Center) \nHarvard-Yenching Institute Lunchtime Talk \nThis talk will review the history of silver and copper mines on the borderland between Yunnan and Burma\, in particular the social organization of miners in remote mountainous areas. Two types of ethnic mobilization among the Hui and the Lahu will be examined. These two ethnic minorities were mobilized through different channels to politically resist the Qing government in interior counties and exterior chieftains. This was due to the political influence of unemployed miners\, which arose from the decline of borderland silver mines in the early 19th century and local governments’ subsequent failure to manage social mobility as miners shifted their work to agriculture or business. The talk aims to study how cooperative transportation system networks became interwoven by different social actors in cities and mines\, especially caravan muleteers whose mobility in metal transportation and commercial circulations was bound to the development of the mining industry and ethnic politics in southwest China. Different social sections cooperated through mediators such as the caravan muleteers\, silver miners and exiled monks. In general\, this talk will explain the historical reconstruction of borderland society in southwest China\, showing how ethnic mobilization was a social consequence of economic and political transformation resulting from the extension of state governance in mountain areas from the Ming to the Qing. \nhttps://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/mining-industry-caravan-transportation-and-ethnic-mobilization-southwest-china-17th-19th

SUMMARY:Inventing Nana Hsu: Creativity in Academic Writing
DESCRIPTION:In the fall of 1948\, a young woman in Shanghai left behind her high school Chinese literature textbook just as Communist forces made their way into the city and the Nationalists beat a hasty retreat to Taiwan. That textbook then moldered on some dank and dingy shelf for more than sixty years\, with a mysterious faded phrase on its front cover and the student’s numerous jottings inside.  Who was that girl and how did she live and die?  Or did she? Can she be merely a figment of our imagination? This talk will engage Nana’s textbook as an object with a life. Or perhaps\, in this case\, two lives. \nJoseph R. Allen is Professor Emeritus of Chinese Literature and Cultural Studies\, and Founding Chair of the Department of Asian Languages and Literatures\, University of Minnesota.

SUMMARY:To Ransom Destiny: The Daoist Search for Deliverance in Medieval China
DESCRIPTION:Daoist destinies were mortgaged from birth – by guilt inherited from the past\, debts owed to one’s parents\, and the initial endowment of vitality. To live meant to inexorably augment the original burden. Accumulated liabilities accounted for suffering\, disease\, and ill fortune met with in this world. They presaged a diminished life span and an adverse afterlife. To ransom destiny was to make amends for liabilities incurred through a person’s own fault or by exposure to external malignant forces. The questions this talk addresses are: what was the nature of the liabilities weighing in the balance of human destiny? Which ritual measures were envisaged to obtain deliverance or improve an unfavorable outcome? How did constituencies of collective destiny form? Who were the agents of the redemptive process and what were their roles? \nSpeaker: Franciscus Verellen\, professor in the History of Daoism\, Ecole Française d’Extrême-Orient (EFEO)\, and member of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres\, served as director of the EFEO from 2004 to 2014. He is currently head of the EFEO Hong Kong Center and a senior research fellow in the Institute of Chinese Studies\, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Verellen has published widely in the fields of regional history and Daoism. He was co-editor with Kristofer Schipper of The Taoist Canon: A Historical Companion to the Daozang (Chicago\, 2004). A new book manuscript on the notion and practice of “redeeming destiny” in medieval Daoism is currently in preparation. \n\n

SUMMARY:The Master Branches Out: Images of Confucius in Contemporary China
DESCRIPTION:As Confucius (551-479 BCE) has returned to political favor in recent years\, his image has become ubiquitous in mainland China and increasingly used abroad to symbolize Chinese culture.  Represented in a great variety of media\, both traditional and modern\, depictions of the ancient teacher serve new purposes and address a much wider audience than ever before.  Sometimes based on imagery from the dynastic era\, when Confucius was meaningful to just the educated elite\, his recent portrayals range from monumental public statues and paintings to movies\, cartoons\, and avant-garde installations.  Using examples from contemporary Chinese visual culture\, this talk will explore issues of patronage\, source\, reception\, and significance in light of current cultural and political concerns. \nSpeaker: Julia K. Murray is Professor Emerita of Art History\, East Asian Studies\, and Religious Studies at the University of Wisconsin\, and an Associate in Research at the Fairbank Center for China Studies at Harvard University.  Before entering academe\, she worked in curatorial positions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, the Freer Gallery of Art\, and the Harvard University Art Museums\, She has taught courses on many aspects of the history of Chinese art\, in a variety of media\, from Neolithic times to the present\, with particular emphasis on late-imperial pictorial art.  Her numerous research fellowships include awards from the Guggenheim Foundation\, American Council of Learned Societies\, National Endowment for the Humanities\, Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation\, Asian Cultural Council\, and the Metropolitan Center for Research on Far Eastern Art.  Her current research focuses on the visual and material culture associated with the veneration of Confucius\, particularly his portraits and illustrations of his life.  Her publications include Mirror of Morality: Chinese Narrative Illustration and Confucian Ideology (2007); Ma Hezhi and the Illustration of the Book of Odes (1993); Last of the Mandarins (1987); and A Decade of Discovery (1979); as well as numerous articles on Chinese pictorial art and narrative illustration.  In 2010 she served as the guest-curator and catalogue co-author for the exhibition Confucius: His Life and Legacy in Art at the China Institute Gallery in New York\, organized jointly with the Shandong Provincial Museum.  The Chinese-language edition of  Mirror of Morality was published in 2014 by Beijing’s Sanlian Press\, under the title 道德镜鉴：中国叙述性图画与儒家意识形态 .

SUMMARY:Film Screening and Discussion: Mr. Deng Goes to Washington
DESCRIPTION:Mr. Deng Goes to Washington tells the story of Deng Xiaoping’s\, China’s paramount leader\, historic visit to the United States in 1979 that changed the trajectory of world history.  This dramatic story is told through first-hand experiences of those people from both countries who made the normalization of relations possible–politicians\, diplomats\,  and one former U.S. President.  Throughout the trip\, Deng had to face many different audiences and win the approval of the U.S. public and the U.S. Congress.  But in the end\, Deng’s wisdom in opening up a new course\, his determination and sense of humor and the American hosts’ good will and detailed preparations cemented the friendship between the U.S. and China and precipitated China’s meteoric economic rise for the next 36 years. \nDiscussants:\nEzra Vogel\, Henry Ford II Professor of Henry Ford II Professor of the Social Sciences Emeritus\,  Harvard University\nJan Berris\, Vice-President\, National Committee on U.S.-China Relations\nFu Hongqing\, Director\, Mr. Deng Goes to Washington\nZhou Zhixing\, Chair\, U.S.-China New Perspectives Foundation

SUMMARY:China's National Cap-and-Trade Program: the Promise and the Reality
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: WANG Pu\, Postdoctoral Fellow\, Harvard Kennedy School \nCo-sponsored by the China Project\, Harvard Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences\, and the Environment and Natural Resources Program\, Harvard Kennedy School. \nChina’s national cap-and-trade program is regarded as a cornerstone of its climate policy outlined in the 13th Five-year plan (2016-2020)\, published right after the 2015 U.N. Climate Conference in Paris. Since China has accounted for two thirds of global emissions growth in the past decade\, its ambition to control carbon emissions could be a great contribution to the global effort in combating climate change. In addition to emission reduction\, China also intends to achieve two other goals through the program: to facilitate economic transition by reducing energy-inefficient industrial sectors and promoting low-carbon industries\, and to mitigate severe air pollution in the urban regions. But the program’s effectiveness is contingent on the right institutional settings at both macro and micro levels. The speaker will review the major challenges for the program in accomplishing the policy goals\, and discuss the efficiency and equity tradeoffs of different allowance allocation methods in the cap-and-trade program.
