As Lowe demonstrates in this study, Buddhist ritual and ritualized writing transformed eighth-century Japanese society in profound and dynamic ways. Although this brief review cannot really do justice to such an extraordinarily accomplished book, I would like to conclude by emphasizing what I think its main strengths are. First, I should note that the exhaustive research into sources is extraordinary—nothing Lowe says is ever unfounded, and this level of rigor is all the more impressive for a book that makes broad theoretical and historical arguments and articulates powerful critiques of previous approaches. Second, the book is interdisciplinary in the true sense of the word. Lowe is a master of his own discipline of religious studies in both its doctrinal and sociological aspects, but just as inspiring is the generous way he also speaks to the concerns of historians and literary scholars. He is deeply sensitive to historical context, and the ability with which he moves from bird’s eye macroscopic views of the Nara period down to a microhistorical level would serve as a model for any premodern historian. As a literary scholar myself, I am both impressed by and grateful for his sensitivity to the literary and rhetorical aspects of religious texts and to the ways in which Buddhist texts and Buddhism were deeply intertwined with literary culture. As the kind of scholarship that enriches all of our fields and disciplines, this book is certain to become a classic.","PeriodicalId":29948,"journal":{"name":"HARVARD JOURNAL OF ASIATIC STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/jas.2020.0016","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42348175","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}

Smith’s Forgotten Disease: Illnesses Transformed in Chinese Medicine is an extraordinary book, replete with rich and imaginative story telling and insightful analyses of materials spanning different periods and national traditions. Forgotten Disease also intervenes in a key debate among historians of Chinese medicine. Since some readers may be unfamiliar with this debate, it would be useful to situate Smith’s contribution within its historiography. Exemplified by the writings of scientists, such as Joseph Needham in his Science and Civilisation project, the older approach narrates—or, better still, measures—the history of medicine from the perspective of modern Western biomedicine.1 It privileges modern biomedical disease categories over premodern or non-Western understandings of nature and treats both premodern and non-Western understandings of the human body as incomplete or more primitive versions of science. This framework also conflates Chinese terminology for illness with modern disease categories, leading scholars to identify mafeng 麻瘋 as leprosy and nüe 瘧 as malaria. Since the 1990s, this approach has come under attack for its anachronism and its lack of sensitivity to the different ways that historical actors experienced and made sense of illness. Under the influence of postmodernism, the next generation disengages from modern biomedicine, emphasizing the incommensurability between Chinese and Western understandings of illness and the human body. Such an approach, epitomized by Shigehisa Kuriyama’s The Expressiveness of the Body and Ted Kaptchuk’s The Web That Has No Weaver, has prompted the next generation of historians to emphasize the alterity of classical Chinese understandings of illness.2 In this framework, premodern Chinese conceptions of the body and of illness could not be reduced to","PeriodicalId":29948,"journal":{"name":"HARVARD JOURNAL OF ASIATIC STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/jas.2020.0017","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46778341","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}

Yet the divided portrait of Jien refracted by different academic disciplines obscures Jien's life and motivations. Using materials written by and about him, I examine Jien's rise to prominence, his connection to the power centers of his day, his role as a spiritual authority, his investiture of land and positions to his disciples, and his often-ignored role as a prophetic visionary to paint a more holistic picture of his life. I argue that Jien held a consistent spiritually infused worldview most visible during a confrontation with his former sovereign, Retired Emperor Gotoba, on the eve of the Jōkyū War (1221). I argue we can only understand that confrontation by reconciling his political interests and his religious faith.摘要:摘要：宗教者でもあり政治家でもあった鎌倉時代の僧慈円 (1155–1225) は、政権中枢部にあった親類の後援により天台座主に就任した。二心を抱いたという批判をしばしば浴びたが、慈円の生涯と思想の検討をとおして、その信仰と政治思想が一貫したと論じる。","PeriodicalId":29948,"journal":{"name":"HARVARD JOURNAL OF ASIATIC STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/jas.2020.0002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48594513","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 the twentieth century, Chuanxi lu (Instructions for practical living) has been read for philosophical content, a category that would have been alien to its sixteenth-century creators. Examining what the editors and compilers of the prefaces and postfaces of Chuanxi lu and Wang Wencheng gong quanshu (Complete works of Wang Yangming) have to say about the construction of these texts, I posit that the content of Xinxue's teachings—especially, \"knowledge and action are one\"—cannot be dissociated from the agency of editors in producing these texts.摘要:本文審視明代心學的影響。不將其視為哲學性或類宗教性的運動，本文將其視為十六世紀各種文本編纂活動中的一種編輯實踐。藉由檢視《傳習錄》與《王文成公全集》編纂者在序跋中所言，我提議：心學的內容，特別是「知行合一」，不能與編輯們的能動性分離。","PeriodicalId":29948,"journal":{"name":"HARVARD JOURNAL OF ASIATIC STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/jas.2020.0005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43773311","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}

Utilizing this Korean scholarship, Suh produces an engaging English-language monograph on the history of medicine in Korea. Her various attempts to make her study more original and more relevant to wider audiences should be well regarded. With regard to her great materials to think about any effort to name the local, I just want to add one reservation: Suh could have used much further particularizations because the political and intellectual diversities of her heroes, as well as the vastly different social contexts that they worked within and created, seem not fully articulated at times. For example, scholar-officials of the new dynasty of Chosŏn, who were building up the political legitimacy of Chosŏn upon their scholarship on Chinese Confucianism, had rather different relationships with foreign medical works when compared with medicine dealers under the colonial regime and professional psychiatrists and traditional medical doctors of postwar Korea. Even if we consider a single case, it is not clear whether one can call Hŏ’s and Yi’s evocations of “Eastern medicine” a similar regionalizing attempt to articulate their intellectual achievement within the Chinese medical tradition, given the vastly different East Asian worlds of the early seventeenth and the late nineteenth centuries and the different social status of Hŏ, a uniquely successful court doctor, and Yi, a well-versed yet quite unknown medical practitioner in northern Korea. We may have to go deeper in examining these particularities in order to understand these diverging practices of making medicine simultaneously more universal and more Korean.","PeriodicalId":29948,"journal":{"name":"HARVARD JOURNAL OF ASIATIC STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/jas.2020.0019","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44390333","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}
