This article traces the development of this tale across a number of Buddhist sources of the late imperial period, and also examines the ways in which later Buddhist and Daoist authors understood the story and utilized it in advancing their own polemical claims. Au debut du treizieme siecle apparait dans les textes du bouddhisme Chan un recit qui met en scene une rencontre entre le celebre immortel Lu Dongbin et le moine Chan Huanglong Huiji. Au terme de cette rencontre, Lu abandonne ses pratiques alchimiques de perfectionnement de soi et adopte celle de la meditation Chan. Le present article retrace le developpement de ce theme narratif au travers des sources bouddhiques de la fin de l’epoque imperiale, et examine la maniere dont des auteurs bouddhistes et taoistes ont compris le recit et l’ont manipule en fonction de leurs propres objectifs polemiques.","PeriodicalId":23193,"journal":{"name":"T'oung Pao","volume":"59 1","pages":"448-502"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2016-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85223215","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}

When read on its own terms, the manuscript provides a straightforward account of rituals surrounding the Duke of Zhou’s ascension to the throne after the demise of King Wu. As such it represents a continuation of King Wu’s abdication in favor of his meritorious brother, as recorded in the Yi Zhou shu . Read in this light, the fourth century BCE manuscript provides further evidence for the prominence of abdication doctrines during the Warring States period, an intellectual tradition that was deemed subversive in the early empire and became gradually obliterated over the course of the Qin-Han dynasties.\u2029Cet article propose de lire le manuscrit dit “Jinteng” conserve a l’universite Qinghua independamment des textes recus qui lui correspondent.

By focusing on where, when, and how Ouyang’s two “new histories” of the Tang and Five Dynasties were produced, I suggest that Ouyang displayed an ambivalent relationship to the Northern Song official historiographical operation both in terms of modus operandi and of the format of the final text. Acting deliberately inside and outside the Historiography Office, he wrote not only new histories but actually new “old” histories, in the sense that Sima Qian’s classical model was creatively restored. Historiographical novelty calls for contextualization, and in this case, Ouyang’s newness is embodied in the creative tension between his contemporary predicament and the applicability of various classical paradigms.\u2029Cet article etudie la pratique historiographique de Ouyang Xiu (1007-1072) dans le contexte de sa carriere d’erudit et de fonctionnaire et dans celui du developpement de l’historiographie chinoise traditionnelle.

The rise of the playful eight-legged essay was part of a philosophical and literary tradition of “game-playing,” and occurred in the context of publications that appropriated canonical genres for fashionable entertainment. Reading the playful compositions against the generic conventions of the standard examination essay, on the one hand, and the original drama commentary, on the other, the author explores the playful eight-legged essay as an increasingly autonomous mode of critical commentary that was independent from, yet still associated with, the dramatic text. Employing dramatic impersonation, the essays opened up a playful space for the staging of passion and extended the appeal of the original play by involving the reader in its imaginative performance.\u2029Cet article etudie les adaptations plaisantes des “dissertations en huit jambes” comme forme de parodie litteraire et en examine la diffusion a travers les editions imprimees du Pavillon de l’ouest et de l’ Histoire du luth a la fin de l’empire. L’emergence de telles adaptations, inscrites dans une tradition ludique a la fois philosophique et litteraire, est contemporaine de la parution d’ouvrages qui detournaient les genres canoniques a des fins de recreation elegante. La lecture de ces dissertations amusantes que propose l’auteur se refere a la fois aux conventions presidant a la composition des dissertations d’examen et aux commentaires d’œuvres theâtrales proprement dits. Il en ressort que le genre de la dissertation parodique a acquis une autonomie croissante en tant que commentaire critique independant des œuvres dramatiques tout en y restant associe. En s’appropriant la voix des personnages des pieces, de tels textes ouvrent un espace de fantaisie propice a la mise en scene des passions et renforcent l’attrait des œuvres originales en impliquant le lecteur dans leur realisation imaginee.","PeriodicalId":23193,"journal":{"name":"T'oung Pao","volume":"22 1","pages":"503-545"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2016-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84872472","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}
