Hunter makes the case that our received Lun yu was assembled in the Western Han, probably around the time of the accession of Emperor Wu in 141 b.c.e. He further demonstrates that patterns of Kongzi references in our received corpus, as well as textual parallelisms, suggests that there was no authoritative written source of early Confucian teachings that circulated in the pre-Han period. PreHan authors drew widely from a variety of written sources when invoking Kongzi, whereas texts dating to the latter part of Wu’s reign tend to focus on our received Lun yu, suggesting the relatively sudden appearance on the scene of a newly canonical text. Most radically, he further argues that the material found in our received Lun yu was composed in the Western Han; the content and arrangement of this text reflects the particular needs and interests of the Western Han compilers, rather than being an expression of a Warring States (let alone early Warring States) tradition associated with Confucius and his disciples. “Wherever it came from, whenever it was compiled,” Hunter argues,","PeriodicalId":11463,"journal":{"name":"Early China","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/eac.2018.12","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48728990","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}

While such a development allows for a more complex view of Chinese history, it obscures identification of unifying traits. In terms of material culture alone, interregional similarities are as revealing as regional distinctions. Examination of specific patterns of vessel ornamentation as well as specific vessel forms from the northern and southern Chinese states reveals extensive sharing, particularly of decors, between the two regions. Indeed, examples of identical decors extends to iconographies incorporating supra-human figures generally identified with the southern state of Chu. These iconographies, derived from the Near Eastern animal master, appear in both northern and southern China in different guises. The manner in which these iconographies are rendered and the position they occupy culturally distinguish north from south more effectively than do any differences in object form and decor. In other words, northern and southern China are closely bound by the Chinese vocabulary of object form and ornamentation, but distinguish themselves in their reactions to foreign influence.","PeriodicalId":11463,"journal":{"name":"Early China","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/S0362502800007422","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48620374","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}

Cai","doi":"10.1017/eac.2018.19","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/eac.2018.19","url":null,"abstract":"This is an insightful book exploring early Chinese mortuary religion by focusing on archaeological materials. It distinguishes itself by the author’s solid knowledge of the primary and secondary literature in this field and, more importantly, by adopting various perspectives and methodologies from archaeologists, art historians, and anthropologists. The object of this book is to explore “burial practices of Warring States (ca. 453–221 b.c.e.), Qin (221–206 b.c.e.), and early Han (206 b.c.e.–9 c.e.).” Recent archaeological discoveries greatly enrich our knowledge of this period, and this particular era witnessed significant changes in mortuary practices such as the emergence of horizontal chamber tombs, the pervasive use of spirit artifacts (mingqi 明器), more frequent appearance of anthropomorphic and hybrid images, buried manuscripts, and newly introduced burial objects. The author traces the evolution of these changes and provides provocative interpretations of their meanings in a comparative framework. Following the archaeology of religion proposed by Buddhologist Gregory Schopen (p. 14), the author treats archaeological discoveries as an independent source of cultural and religious expression: independent in the sense that archaeological finds do not serve to validate conventional claims preserved in our transmitted texts. But it is challenging and risky to generate meaning and thereby reconstruct a cultural and theological milieu from those excavated artifacts. The reason for this is simple. Both the preservation and excavation of archeological remains are conditioned by various factors. Remains are fragmentary, representing only a fraction of the material culture in a historical period. While we search for coherent and seamless narratives to explain the religious practices of a particular place and time, we must acknowledge the coexistences of different and even contradictory beliefs and traditions. Making a sound interpretation requires us to analyze available data carefully in historical, sociopolitical, and archeological contexts, but we","PeriodicalId":11463,"journal":{"name":"Early China","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/eac.2018.19","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"56560794","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}

M. 思清 Zikpi 馬","doi":"10.1017/eac.2018.1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/eac.2018.1","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract The influential Chu ci zhangju 楚辭章句, the earliest received edition of the foundational poetry anthology Chuci 楚辭, performs a distinct gender bias in its exegesis of deities, and this bias accords with the Eastern Han ideology of the editor Wang Yi 王逸 (2nd c. CE) more than with immanent features of the original Warring States texts. The gender bias is an essential feature of Wang Yi’s canonization of the Chuci, and it lays the groundwork of the allegorical tradition of interpreting the Chuci. This paper analyzes the zhangju presentation of archetypal Chuci texts to elucidate the hermeneutic transformation of gender and religion in early China, comparing the Eastern Han exegeses with earlier and later interpretations, immanent textual features, and fresh perspectives on Warring States and Han culture that have emerged from archeological evidence. The analysis demonstrates that the Chuci zhangju treats the male deities more literally than the female deities, reflecting the reduction in status of goddesses in late Han discourse. The history of gender ideology is an essential critical lens for understanding the Chuci and the tradition that emerged from it. 提要 著名的《楚辭章句》是現存最早的《楚辭》傳世注本，其對於神靈精怪的解釋有明顯的性別偏見。編者王逸的偏見符合東漢的意識形態，卻與戰國的《楚辭》正文內在意義有所落差。《楚辭章句》的性別偏見也奠定了《楚辭》寓言闡釋傳統的基礎。本文在比較東漢註解與早期詮釋、後世註疏、文本內在特徵、現代考古研究等的基礎上，闡明古代中國性別與宗教觀在詮釋上產生的變化。研究指出《楚辭章句》中男性神靈的解釋與女性神靈的詮釋相比要來得直接，反映出漢代晚期女神地位下降的事實。研究性別意識的演變是理解《楚辭》及其傳統的重要視角 。","PeriodicalId":11463,"journal":{"name":"Early China","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/eac.2018.1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"56559928","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}
