The volume presents in-depth and well-researched information on both the precious scrolls’ (baojuan 寶卷) prosimetric tradition and the story of Mulian rescuing his mother, a Buddhist narrative that has been adapted into many styles of drama, local storytelling, and vernacular print editions. As Victor Mair notes in the foreword, the present work follows in a line of outstanding scholarship on baojuan, conducted by scholars that include Sawada Mizuho 澤田瑞穂, Daniel L. Overmyer, Che Xilun 車錫倫, and Wilt L. Idema (p. ix). While surveying the historical baojuan traditions (which sometimes go by names other than baojuan), the author gives especial focus to clues about performance contexts embedded in the texts. In doing so, he draws on theory of the “performance school” of folkloristics, particularly the work of Richard Bauman.1 He often cites John Miles Foley, a scholar of epic, who combined the performance approach with the Parry-Lord theory, his own Immanent Art theory, and ethnopoetics theory.2 This body of theory, which is productive for the study of both oral-connected written texts and associated performances situated within specific social contexts, has informed several previous studies of Chinese vernacular and folk narrative, and it continues to be fruitful in this work.3 Berezkin is especially interested in Foley’s ideas concerning","PeriodicalId":29948,"journal":{"name":"HARVARD JOURNAL OF ASIATIC STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44109264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gripping comments such as this one demands the reader’s full power of analysis while reading Owen’s work. If I have any criticism of Owen’s book, it would be his claim that Liu Yong’s ci was not read as “literature,” for it was merely “performance” (p. 87). Furthermore, Owen believes that Liu Yong was someone who “knew the phrases of the love game” and knew how to perform “love” (pp. 73, 75). But surely Owen cannot deny that Huang Chang, who compared Liu Yong to the sage poet Du Fu, would never have thought that Liu Yong was merely performing as a male lover. As Owen mentions, Huang Chang might have read a version of the Yuezhang ji that was quite different from the one we have come to know. Also, even if Liu Yong regularly wrote songs for singing girls to perform, it does not mean that his songs were not a true expression of his feelings. Owen even acknowledges that Liu Yong expressed “his own emotions as directly as women singers had been made to do in Dunhuang songs and in his own songs” and that “such directness spilled over into the way he represented other things, including landscapes” (p. 270). As such, the strength of Owen’s book comes not from a linear argument but rather from his wisdom in making judgment and hypothesis while confronting the lack of certainty regarding our knowledge of early lyric collections. Owen does a brilliant job in this respect.","PeriodicalId":29948,"journal":{"name":"HARVARD JOURNAL OF ASIATIC STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48372372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this understanding, Korean Buddhism is identified as pure Buddhism, which requires monastics to maintain celibacy and a vegetarian diet, whereas Japanese Buddhism is contaminated, since Japanese monastics may marry and eat meat. Problems of such a paradigm have been pointed out by scholars, especially in the Englishspeaking world. Hwansoo Ilmee Kim, the author of Korean Buddhist Empire: A Transnational History (1910–1945), is one of the major voices whose scholarship challenges the dualistic evaluation and gives attention to the complex reality of Korean Buddhism in modern times. Kim’s first book, Empire of the Dharma, covers the development of Korean Buddhism from 1877, when the first Japanese Buddhist temple opened in Korea, until 1912, the year after the Temple Ordinance was promulgated by the Japanese colonial government to control Korean Buddhism.1 In that book, Kim offers a nuanced discussion of the interactions between Korean and Japanese Buddhism and problematizes the claim that Korean Buddhism was a mere victim of Japanese Buddhism’s missionary invasion during this period. Kim’s second monograph further reveals the intricate relationship among East Asian Buddhisms during the time from 1910, when Japan annexed Korea, until 1945, the year of Korea’s liberation from colonial rule. The author’s tool for understanding Korean Buddhism in this book is transnationality. Applying the concept to Buddhism, Kim states that “transnational Buddhism . . . points to a larger Buddhist geography and consciousness in which East Asian Buddhists came together as representatives of their national Buddhisms to work toward common goals” (p. 6). Transnational Buddhism for the author “captures the kind of shared community that Buddhist leaders from different countries envisioned” and","PeriodicalId":29948,"journal":{"name":"HARVARD JOURNAL OF ASIATIC STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48632576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So, why bother? However, let this quibble not detract from my overwhelmingly positive evaluation of Ter Haar’s work. This book will be an inspiration for research in much wider fields of Chinese religious history, and it sets the standard for all future studies in the narrower sector of Lord Guan’s cult. It is not a conclusive study, but it opens up many new important vistas from which scholars may view and investigate beliefs and practices surrounding Lord Guan. Aside from post-1949 developments, I am thinking here in particular of the many themes touched on in this rich work that invite further study, including the still-puzzling question of Lord Guan’s function as god of wealth as well as the intertextual relationships of the nineteenth-century scriptures that integrate concepts from so-called “sectarian” textual traditions. Finally, for anyone interested in the interplay of written and oral traditions in premodern China, this work offers much stimulation through its empirical data, its finely honed argumentation, and its methodological reflexivity.","PeriodicalId":29948,"journal":{"name":"HARVARD JOURNAL OF ASIATIC STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41530553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I parse the poet’s two-part effort to transform ink making into a legitimate field of scholarly endeavor in order to defend poets’ autonomy. In Su Shi’s view, such autonomy depends on controlling the tools that sustain literary self-expression. Resisting the passive position of a consumer, Su first identifies with and then comes to impersonate the artisan’s productive body. This pose was, however, predicated on Su’s struggle to influence the marketing of ink through verse and innovative strategies of inscription. After Su Shi, an inkstick was no longer simply a tool for the production of literature but a venue where distinctions between writing and craft could be transformed—a contested subject and substrate of literary art.䷃锣:本文通過蘇軾有關墨師潘谷的詩作來探討宋代文人與墨工之間的互動關係。蘇軾通過讚揚墨工的自主性以反思文人的身份,其對玩墨與造墨的記載揭示了書寫工具對詩歌創新的影響。從蘇軾筆下之潘谷的形象演变中,我們可以看到一種中國古代特有的媒介自覺性。","PeriodicalId":29948,"journal":{"name":"HARVARD JOURNAL OF ASIATIC STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45753895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article explores the influence of pre-Buddhist Chinese ideas concerning the human-animal continuum on elaborations in tales of rebirth as an animal that appeared in apocryphal Buddhist scriptures likely written in China and in a late sixth-century Daoist scripture. I argue that this Daoist scripture borrowed Buddhist formulas explaining rebirth through the medium of a confession text authored by the Buddhist monks surrounding Liang Wudi 梁武帝 (r. 502–549), the first Chinese emperor to adopt the Buddhist religion. These texts elaborate a karmic hierarchy of beings, extending from the most loathsome of animals to the most exalted of humans. Thus these texts elucidate the social and political utility of the idea of animal rebirth for the religious writers who presented it to the ruling elite.䷃锣:轉世爲動物是中國中古早期最受抵觸的佛教觀念之一。本文探討古代人與動物之間的鬆散邊界及其對佛教偽經與一部六世紀晚期道經中轉世爲動物敘事的影響,並認爲這部道經模仿了梁武帝治下僧人撰成懺悔文中的輪迴觀,最後對階層式的輪迴概念及其社會政治作用加以闡述。","PeriodicalId":29948,"journal":{"name":"HARVARD JOURNAL OF ASIATIC STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47002018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
