{"title":"SACRIFICE VS. SUSTENANCE: FOOD AS A BURIAL GOOD IN LATE PRE-IMPERIAL AND EARLY IMPERIAL CHINESE TOMBS AND ITS RELATION FUNERARY RITES","authors":"Armin 藏 Selbitschka 謝","doi":"10.1017/eac.2018.7","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/eac.2018.7","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract One of the medical manuscripts recovered from Tomb No. 3 at Mawangdui (dated 186 b.c.e.) states that, “When a person is born there are two things that need not to be learned: the first is to breathe and the second is to eat.” Of course it is true that all healthy newborn human beings possess the reflexes to breathe and eat. Yet, the implications of death should have been just as obvious to the ancient Chinese. Once the human brain ceases to function, there is no longer a biological need for oxygen and nourishment. Nevertheless, a large number of people in late pre-imperial and early imperial China insisted on burying food and drink with the dead. Most modern commentators take the deposition of food and drink as burial goods to be a rather trite phenomenon that warrants little reflection. To their minds both kinds of deposits were either intended to sustain the spirit of the deceased in the hereafter or simply a sacrifice to the spirit of the deceased. Yet, a closer look at the archaeological evidence suggests otherwise. By tracking the exact location of food and drink containers in late pre-imperial and early imperial tombs and by comprehensively analyzing inscriptions on such vessels in addition to finds of actual food, the article demonstrates that reality was more complicated than this simple either/or dichotomy. Some tombs indicate that the idea of continued sustenance coincided with occasional sacrifices. Moreover, this article will introduce evidence of a third kind of sacrifice that, so far, has gone unnoticed by scholarship. Such data confirms that sacrifices to spirits other than the one of the deceased sometimes were also part of funerary rituals. By paying close attention to food and drink as burial goods the article will put forth a more nuanced understanding of early Chinese burial practices and associated notions of the afterlife. 提要 馬王堆三號墓出土的一卷醫書（公元前 186 年）寫道：「人產而所不學者二，一曰息，二曰食。」 毋庸置疑，所有健康的新生兒都具備呼吸和飲食的本能。然而，死亡的意義對古人而言却没有那麼明顯。一旦大腦停止工作，人就無需氧氣和營養了。可是在晚前和早期中華帝國，人们往往用食物和酒飲作為陪葬。多數現代學者認為食物和酒飲的陪葬司空見慣，因而不值一提。在他們看来，這兩種陪葬品若不是用來供奉亡靈，就是為逝者獻祭而已。然而，對考古資料的進一步分析後，結論截然不同。通過分析晚前和早期中華帝國墓葬中食器、杯皿之確切位置，並全面解析器皿表面之文字，綜合相關食物之發現，本文証明實際情況遠比簡單的二分法複雜。一些墓葬表明，長期的供奉與偶爾的獻祭不謀而合。此外，本文將介紹目前學界未有涉及的第三類獻祭行為的證據。此證據表明，作為殯葬儀式的一部分，除了祭奠墓主的亡靈，其他亡靈也同樣得到祭奠。通過對作為陪葬品的食物和酒飲進行細緻分析，本文對早期中國殯葬傳統及相關的來世理念提出一種更細緻的解讀。","PeriodicalId":11463,"journal":{"name":"Early China","volume":"41 1","pages":"179 - 243"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/eac.2018.7","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"56561960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"ECHOING RULERSHIP—UNDERSTANDING MUSICAL REFERENCES IN THE HUAINANZI – CORRIGENDUM","authors":"A. Rom","doi":"10.1017/EAC.2017.1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/EAC.2017.1","url":null,"abstract":"The Huainanzi text (淮南子 presented in 139 b.c.e. compiled by Liu An 劉安 179–122 b.c.e. ), while defining itself as a political guide, is replete with references to Music ( yue 樂) itself and music-related terms. While no chapter of the work’s twenty-one chapters is specifically dedicated to the subject of music, no single chapter of it is without musical references. This gives rise to the question: Which functions could music possibly have in such an overtly political text? What this article will examine are the interactions between music and the social and political spheres in the Huainanzi . An analysis of the text’s musical references reveals an intriguing, multidimensional attitude toward music, touching upon moral discourse, discourse on political power, cosmological perceptions, and much more. The article suggests a dual function of music in the text—on the one hand, music serves as a rhetorical tool for the authors of the Huainanzi , and on the other hand, it is a subject of discussion in its own right. For each of these functions of music, a model is proposed. The first model depicts the innovative musical conceptions of the Huainanzi ; the second demonstrates how, through an analysis of musical references in the text, a model of sagely rulership is revealed. These models are illustrated and embodied in the human realm.","PeriodicalId":11463,"journal":{"name":"Early China","volume":"40 1","pages":"357 - 357"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2017-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/EAC.2017.1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42449716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Shulman","doi":"10.1017/eac.2017.11","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/eac.2017.11","url":null,"abstract":"Compiled, selectively annotated and edited by Frank Joseph Shulman, this comprehensive bibliography and research guide is based upon the sixpage “Bibliography of the Writings of David N. Keightley” that appeared in David N. Keightley, These Bones Shall Rise Again: Selected Writings on Early China (edited and with an introduction by Henry Rosemont Jr. Albany, N.Y.: State University of New York Press, 2014). In its present, significantly expanded and updated version, it is designed as a classified as well as chronologically organized record and guide that can enable its users to have a better idea not only of Keightley’s many contributions to our current knowledge about early China through his research and writings but also of the evolution – the trajectory – of his scholarship between the 1960s and the early 2010s. It frequently indicates, for example, the relationship between a conference paper or a guest lecture that he delivered and a journal article/chapter in an edited volume that he subsequently published. The tables of contents or their counterparts are provided for Keightley’s English-language monographs, for many of his articles and book chapters, and for his doctoral dissertation and B.A. thesis; brief descriptive annotations appear within a substantial number of the entries; and translations are included for nearly all non-English language titles. While this work has sought to be as comprehensive as possible in its bibliographical coverage of printed publications, published and unpublished conference papers, and the scholarly reviews of his books, with a few exceptions their existence in electronic format is not explicitly indicated. Wen-Yi Huang (Ph.D. candidate in Chinese history, Department of History and Classical Studies, McGill University, Montreal, Canada) participated in various stages of the preparation of this work, and she assisted especially in the editing of the information that appears for Chinese-language publications.
