SUMMARY:China Humanities Seminar featuring Cheng-hua Wang - What Handscroll Landscape Painting Could Convey: Format\, Structure\, and the Discourse on Huayi in the Late Northern Song Dynasty
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Cheng-hua Wang\, Associate Professor\, Princeton University \n\n\n\nFocusing on landscape paintings in the handscroll format from the tenth to the twelfth century\, this talk aims to present two structural innovations that took place in the late eleventh century seen in a few examples—from homogeneous to heterogeneous spaces and from mono to poly-scenic views. Along with these transformations in the late Northern Song (960–1127)\, the landscape handscroll format became an independent and full-fledged medium that diverged from the landscape hanging scroll in terms of compositional design\, pictorial goal\, and viewing practice. These in turn also opened up new possibilities for emotional expression\, lyrical symbolism\, and political connotations. The examples discussed include Old Trees\, Level Distance (Shuse pingyuan) by Guo Xi and Fishing Village in Light Snow (Yucun xiaoxue) by Wang Shen. \n\n\n\nThe above discussion links the materiality and expressive potentiality of the handscroll landscape with its development as an independent format. This talk will also explore the formats of landscape painting by the tenth century\, a pre-history of handscroll landscape painting\, and the cultural context of the late eleventh century in which the concept of huayi (pictorial intent) featured prominently in the discourse on painting. While huayi\, as a standard term that referred to the meanings or connotations of painting\, probably emerged in the late Tang dynasty (618–906)\, it stands in the late Northern Song at the intersection of different art-historical threads that await further investigation. By using texts such as Guo Xi’s Lofty Ideal of Forests and Streams (Linquan gaozhi)\, it is hoped in this talk that the late Northern Song art world that fostered a high level of visual literacy along with rich and sophisticated signification in art can be recapitulated using the examples of handscroll landscape painting given above. \n\n\n\nCheng-hua Wang\, a specialist in Chinese painting and visual culture\, is Associate Professor at Princeton University. She has published widely in both Chinese and English. Two anthologies of her articles in Chinese have been published respectively in 2011 and 2020. Her English-language publications have appeared in different journals and edited volumes\, and an anthology of some of these articles translated into Chinese will come out next year. In addition\, her book manuscript Up the River of Time: The Qingming Shanghe Painting Tradition in China is currently under review. It tackles issues regarding the construction of a painting tradition and cultural constellation through thematic links and the complicated interrelationship between a primordial artwork and its later reproductions from a long historical perspective. Her next book project will explore the concept of territoriality and the transformation of shanshui painting in eighteenth-century China that involved the court and Suzhou. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:“Actually\, We Are Mongols!”: Resurgence of the Yuan Non-Han Ancestries in the Late Qing North China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Iiyama Tomoyasu\, Waseda University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2023-24Chair/discussant: Mark Elliott\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nThis talk attempts to shed light on the largely unknown trajectories of the resurgence and evolution of Yuan non-Han ancestries in north China from the late eighteenth century through the early twentieth century. By exploring three relatively well documented cases of the resurgence of the Yuan non-Han ancestry\, this talk offers two tentative conclusions. First\, the commemoration of the non-Han ancestries seems to have been roused by the two-century-long Gazetteers of the Great Qing Empire compilation project\, over the course of which the state reiterated extensive surveys of local worthies\, widow chastity\, and martyred loyal subjects\, including those from the previous dynasties. Second\, the late Qing era (roughly mid-eighteenth to late nineteenth century) was one of the pivotal turning points in making of modern ethnic landscape in north China. The memory of Mongol rule authorized by the Qing official historiography have become the wellspring of the twentieth century minzu identity. \n\n\n\nMore info: https://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/actually-we-are-mongols-resurgence-of-the-yuan-non-han-ancestries-in-the-late-qing-north-china/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Chen Xiang - Political signaling drives China’s Pilot Emissions Trading Scheme
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Chen Xiang\, Assistant Professor\, School of International and Public Affairs\, Shanghai Jiao Tong University; Alumna (Visiting Fellow) and Associate\, Harvard-China Project \n\n\n\nChina’s approach to environmental regulation relies heavily on campaign-style enforcement and blunt-force regulation. While considered effective in the short run\, this approach is often inefficient and generates unintended regulatory outcomes in the longer run. At the same time\, China continues to experiment with the use of market-based approaches that are theoretically more efficient and have the potential to facilitate sustained reductions in carbon emissions. Arguably the most high-profile example is the Guangdong Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS)\, which was launched in 2013 as a national pilot scheme. We construct a synthetic control of Guangdong and analyze 51\,076 party-led newspaper reports to show that while the ETS reduced emissions in the short run\, these reductions were systematically associated with political signaling. Our findings suggest that current market-based approaches in China may not be qualitatively different to more direct forms of environmental regulation. \n\n\n\nChen Xiang is an Assistant Professor in the School of International and Public Affairs at Shanghai Jiao Tong University\, and she is also a Fulbright Fellow at the Harvard-China Project on Energy\, Economy and Environment at Harvard University. Her research explores the antinomies that emerge through economic and political modernization\, such as development and environmentalism\, nationalism and populism\, and China’s foreign policies. Her recent works have been published in Environmental Science & Policy\, Energy for Sustainable Development\, Cambridge Review of International Affairs\, and International Affairs. \n\n\n\nPresented via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Fears of Inheritance Disruption: Tracing ‘Establishing Heirs’ in Ancient and Early Imperial China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Hsinning Liu\, Academia Sinica; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2023-24Chair/Discussant: Michael Puett\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nIt is widely acknowledged that in Imperial China\, the system of inheritance adhered to the principle of patrilineal succession\, which bore the responsibility for performing ancestral sacrifices. Consequently\, every man was obligated to have a male heir. In cases where he did not have a biological son\, it became imperative to select and establish an heir who would carry forward his lineage\, whether he was alive or deceased. \n\n\n\nThis presentation endeavors to trace the historical origins of this practice and reexamine the intricate relationship between inheritance and ancestral sacrifice. In ancient China\, while inheritance was closely intertwined with ancestral sacrifice\, it exhibited marked differences compared to later periods. Early Imperial China stands as a crucial transitional phase in this evolution. \n\n\n\nMore info: https://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/fears-of-inheritance-disruption/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Urban China Series Featuring Leonardo Ramondetti: The Enriched Field: Urbanizing the Central Plains of China
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Meeting Link\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Leonardo Ramondetti\, Post-doctoral Researcher\, Politecnico di Torino  \n\n\n\nSince the early 2000s\, China has seen unprecedented urban growth\, spreading to every corner of the country. Driven by the urban entrepreneurialism of major municipalities until the mid-2000s\, the reins have since passed to the central and regional administrations which plan development in a more comprehensive and coordinated fashion. This turning point in urban policies has redirected planning activities: from the centripetal development of major cities through new towns to centrifugal urbanization fostering regional integration via wide-area projects and small-scale interventions. Drawing upon the urbanization in Central Plains\, Henan Province\, this talk discusses the socio-spatial implications of such urban policies and planning activities. It examines the emerging infrastructure\, housing\, and production spaces to provide an interpretation of this urbanization as an enriched field: a space characterized by great performativity in infrastructure\, environment\, and welfare\, as well as imbued with narratives\, stories\, and meanings. \n\n\n\nLeonardo Ramondetti\, Ph.D. in Urban and Regional Development\, is a post-doc researcher at Politecnico di Torino\, and an Adjunct Professor at Università di Bologna. His field of research is contemporary urban design and planning\, with attention to infrastructure-led development. He was part of the research ‘Chinese New Towns: Negotiating Citizenship and Physical Form’ (2016-2019)\, spending a five-month visiting period at Tsinghua University to study the urbanization processes underway in central China. He is currently working on the research ‘Rescaling the Belt and Road Initiative: Urbanisation processes\, innovation patterns and global investments’ (2020-2023)\, including a five-month visiting period at Laboratoire Techniques\, Territoires et Sociétés to further develop the knowledge in infrastructural projects. He is the coordinator of the China Room research group at Politecnico di Torino\, and the author of The Enriched Field: Urbanising the Central Plains of China (Birkhäuser\, 2022). \n\n\n\nWe would like to thank the MIT Sustainable Urbanization Lab\, the Ashoka University Centre for China Studies\, the University of British Columbia’s School of Community and Regional Planning\, the University at Buffalo (SUNY)\, and the Harvard Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies for supporting this event.

SUMMARY:Modern China Lecture Series featuring Shellen Wu - Writing Global History from an Asian Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Register for hybrid zoom attendance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Shellen X. Wu\, Associate Professor and L.H. Gipson Chair in Transnational History\, Lehigh University \n\n\n\nGlobal history has drawn criticism for its lack of diversity among its practicing ranks and the flattening effect of its materialist focus. I would like to propose a middle way: a global history that encompasses individual agency; an intellectual history that addresses the racism and misogyny built into much of frontier discourse from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; a history that acknowledges the exclusions built into archives and written records but also the way that these unpalatable pasts created the modern world in which we live. The use of multiple and intersecting biographies as a global history method breaks down the flattening effect of larger historical narratives into the individual trajectories of lived lives along with all their associated messiness\, triumphs\, and reversals of fortune. Individual lives give texture to broader concepts of “empires\,” “frontiers\,” and “nations” and cross the temporal and spatial boundaries we have created in the professionalization of modern history writing. \n\n\n\nAlso via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Harvard CAMLab Fall Public Visits
DESCRIPTION:reserve a tour\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring Public Visits\, CAMLab welcomes our audiences to explore immersive installations that stage cultural history with digital technologies. \n\n\n\nCAMLab Cave Public Visits are guided group tours. Reservations are limited to 15 per hour\, in order to preserve the experiential dimension of CAMLab’s multisensorial project installations. Tours are led by a team of Harvard Student Educators\, hailing from graduate programs across the university as well as Harvard College. \n\n\n\nCurrently installed in CAMLab Cave\, the Cave Dance and Embodied Architecture projects activate the narrative\, cultural\, and sensorial potentials of interpreting historical data. \n\n\n\nCave Dance integrates thousands of depictions of dance from Dunhuang with motion capture of trained dancers\, who performed movements preserved by textual records. With this human-computer collaborative choreography as its foundation\, the Cave Dance installation instantiates movement sequences within ethereal motifs and enacts the “bodiless body\,” a state of transcendence epitomized by celestial dancers at Dunhuang. \n\n\n\nCombining photogrammetry with procedural generation and CGI\, Embodied Architecture presents the world’s most comprehensive 3D model of the Yingxian pagoda\, the world’s tallest timber structure. Serving as a stage for opening a cosmological understanding\, the installation progressively unfolds the multisensory experience that the pagoda embodies—elucidating the lens of ritual practice. \n\n\n\nAdvanced reservations are required\, and all are welcome. Tickets are pay-as-you-wish\, with $10.00 suggested for non-Harvard visitors. Proceeds directly support CAMLab’s future research and projects. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Urban China Series Featuring Yang Yuzhen — The Production of Public Space and Collective Memory: A Chinese Inland City Across Time     杨宇振:公共空间与集体记忆的生产——一个中国内陆城市的历时样本
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Meeting Link\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Yang Yuzhen\, Professor of Architecture and Urban Development\, School of Architecture and Urban Planning\, Chongqing University  \n\n\n\n***This talk will be in Mandarin.*** \n\n\n\nModern public spaces in Chinese cities have undergone significant changes over the past century. The transformation of Chongqing\, an inland city\, is an essential part of China’s modernization process from east to west. The evolution of the Chaotianmen (朝天门) area in Chongqing provides a representative case for understanding and recognizing the public spaces in modern Chinese cities. This talk first explores the historical changes\, forms\, and symbolic transformations of the Chaotianmen area in Chongqing since the 20th century. It analyzes the differences in the spatial reconstruction of Chaotianmen across different historical periods. It further explores the similar conditions of several other cities in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. While discussing the material\, social\, and conceptual dimensions of contemporary public space production\, the author argues that the constant appropriation and rewriting of public space in the historical process is a universal state of collective memory\, and how to deal with this problem has become a key issue in the process of contemporary urban development. \n\n\n\nYang Yuzhen is a Professor of Architecture and Urban Development at the School of Architecture and Urban Planning at Chongqing University\, China. His research focuses on the political and economic transformation of Chinese cities from the early 20th century. He is a member of the Academic Committee of the Urban Planning Society of China\, and a council member of the Architect’s Branch of Architectural Society of China. He was a visiting scholar at GSD\, Harvard University; a researcher of Residency Program at Bellagio Center\, Italy. His representative works include:One Kilometre City: Everyday Life\, Crisis and the Production of Space (2022)\,History and Space: Chongqing in the late Qing Dynasty and Its Transformation (2018)\,and Spatialization of Capital (2016). \n\n\n\n现代中国城市公共空间在过去一个世纪经历巨大变化。内陆城市重庆的转变是中国由东而西现代化进程的重要构成。重庆朝天门地段的演变提供了一个理解和认识现代中国城市公共空间的典型案例。首先探讨近代以来重庆朝天门地段的历史变迁、形态和象征变化，分析各个特定历史时期朝天门的问题差异与空间再造状况，并进一步探析长江上游多个城市的“类朝天门”公共空间状况；最后讨论当代公共空间生产的物质、社会和观念维度，作者认为历史过程中城市公共空间不断地被挪用和再书写是集体记忆的普遍状态，如何应对这一问题成为当代城市发展过程中的关键性议题。 \n\n\n\n杨宇振，重庆大学建筑城规学院教授。主要研究领域在近代以来中国城市空间的政治与经济转变。兼任中国城市规划学会学术工作委员会委员、中国建筑学会建筑师分会理事等。曾是哈佛大学设计研究生院访问学者（2008）、意大利Bellagio中心访住项目研究员（2016）。他的著作包括：《一公里城市：日常生活、危机与空间生产》（2022）；《历史与空间：晚期重庆城及其转变》（2018）；《资本空间化：资本积累、城市化与空间生产》（2016）等。 \n\n\n\nPresented via Zoom.Meeting link: https://mit.zoom.us/j/7060207759 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Architecture of Virtuality: Liao Dynasty Pagodas and the Embodiment of Buddhist Vision
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Youn-mi Kim\, Ewha Womans University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2023-24Chair/discussant: Ryuichi Abe\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nThis talk explores the pagodas of China’s Liao dynasty (907-1125)\, uncovering the intricate relationships between the materiality of Buddhist architecture and its entwined vision and virtuality. It’s essential to recognize that Buddhist materiality is deeply connected with its immateriality. This dual nature\, inherent in Liao architecture\, echoes the Buddhist perception of reality articulated in the renowned Heart Sutra phrase: “form is emptiness\, and emptiness is form.” The Liao empire\, established in the tenth century by the nomadic Khitans\, dominated regions spanning current-day northern China\, Mongolia\, portions of Russia’s southern border\, and Kazakhstan. Within this diverse empire\, the dynamism of nomadism fused with the adaptability of Buddhist philosophy\, birthing monumental architecture that emphasized Buddhist visuality and virtuality. Through a careful study of select pagodas\, this talk sheds light on how Liao’s Buddhist architecture symbolized a virtual pilgrimage to India’s sacred sites\, envisioned an ever-expanding Huayan 華嚴 cosmos\, and transformed the pagoda’s vacant core into a representation of the Buddha’s truth body (zhenshen 真身). \n\n\n\nMore info: https://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/architecture-of-virtuality/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Harvard CAMLab Fall Public Visits
DESCRIPTION:reserve a tour\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring Public Visits\, CAMLab welcomes our audiences to explore immersive installations that stage cultural history with digital technologies. \n\n\n\nCAMLab Cave Public Visits are guided group tours. Reservations are limited to 15 per hour\, in order to preserve the experiential dimension of CAMLab’s multisensorial project installations. Tours are led by a team of Harvard Student Educators\, hailing from graduate programs across the university as well as Harvard College. \n\n\n\nCurrently installed in CAMLab Cave\, the Cave Dance and Embodied Architecture projects activate the narrative\, cultural\, and sensorial potentials of interpreting historical data. \n\n\n\nCave Dance integrates thousands of depictions of dance from Dunhuang with motion capture of trained dancers\, who performed movements preserved by textual records. With this human-computer collaborative choreography as its foundation\, the Cave Dance installation instantiates movement sequences within ethereal motifs and enacts the “bodiless body\,” a state of transcendence epitomized by celestial dancers at Dunhuang. \n\n\n\nCombining photogrammetry with procedural generation and CGI\, Embodied Architecture presents the world’s most comprehensive 3D model of the Yingxian pagoda\, the world’s tallest timber structure. Serving as a stage for opening a cosmological understanding\, the installation progressively unfolds the multisensory experience that the pagoda embodies—elucidating the lens of ritual practice. \n\n\n\nAdvanced reservations are required\, and all are welcome. Tickets are pay-as-you-wish\, with $10.00 suggested for non-Harvard visitors. Proceeds directly support CAMLab’s future research and projects. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

DESCRIPTION:Zoom Meeting Link\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Rosealea Yao \, Senior Analyst\, Gavekal Dragonomics \n\n\n\nChina’s property-market slump worsened in 2023. The burst of pent-up demand that followed the reopening from Covid containment evaporated by April\, and sales deteriorated until tentatively stabilizing in August. Rosealea assesses the outlook for the property sector and risks for developers going forward\, as well as the policy response and what it means for real estate as a growth driver in the years to come. \n\n\n\nRosealea Yao is a senior analyst in the Beijing office of Gavekal Dragonomics and has been with the firm since 2007. She is a specialist on the Chinese property market\, and also works on energy\, infrastructure and other issues related to the investment side of the economy. Before joining Gavekal\, she worked at the Chinese Institute of CPAs in Beijing. Rosealea studied economics at the University of Manchester and graduated from Renmin University of China in 1999. \n\n\n\nPresented via Zoom.Meeting link: https://mit.zoom.us/j/7060207759 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Yang Zhao - Transitioning from Fast to Ultrafast Charging Stations for Electric Vehicles: Insights into Charging Behavior\, Grid Load\, and Upgrade Costs
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Yang Zhao\, Postdoctoral Fellow\, Harvard-China Project \n\n\n\nAbstract: Ultrafast charging for electric vehicles (EVs) could offer a solution for drivers requiring high travel flexibility and raise the prospect of swift replacement of conventional gasoline/diesel vehicles. Yet\, serious concerns exist regarding the impact on the power grid and the solutions to adopt when power distribution networks cannot provide adequate capacity. In this presentation\, Dr. Yang Zhao will show first the real-world charging patterns and station loads of several representative fast-charging stations in China. The simulations for the increase in charging power in conjunction with real-world EV charging patterns are used to quantify the impact of future ultrafast charging station loads. The results indicate that the marginal increase in station loads is not as significant as the increase in EV charging power. Generalized solutions for charging stations to address insufficient total power capacity are studied including dynamic waiting strategies and use of energy storage. Lastly\, the primary device costs of different charging station upgrade strategies are discussed. \n\n\n\nYang Zhao received his Ph.D. from Beijing Institute of Technology and was a visiting Ph.D. student at University of California at Berkeley. He has worked on the assessment of electric vehicle operating behavior and energy use patterns. He is currently studying how electrified fleets will impact future road transportation and how we can use new energy vehicles to decarbonize energy systems. He is also investigating the development and plans of charging infrastructure in the US and China\, as now is the critical time to develop infrastructure for carbon-neutral targets. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
