{"title":"Classical Learning and the Law: Erudition as Persuasion in the Dragon Sinews, Phoenix Marrow Judgments of Zhang Zhuo","authors":"Tony D.

They were an essential component of the civil service selection examination, whereby candidates holding nominal official status were appointed to actual posts in the bureaucracy. Zhang Zhuo’s Longjin fengsui pan (Dragon Sinews, Phoenix Marrow Judgments) is the earliest surviving collection of model judgment answers meant to aid candidates in preparing for the selection examinations. The judgments, composed in parallel prose of four and six syllables, are ornate and erudite, and rarely deal precisely with Tang formal law. This study goes beyond examining Zhang’s work from the perspective of the formal law by exploring how classical learning itself served as a persuasive force in the resolution of cases. I argue that the Longjin fengsui pan shows that the literati were well-versed in the formal law, but prized displays of erudition as a means of articulating the moral, rather than the technical, side of law.","PeriodicalId":41166,"journal":{"name":"Tang Studies","volume":"19 1","pages":"20 - 50"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81763359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In fact, the poem is a deliberate, two-pronged argument for the enfeoffment of princes. The poem addresses the problem of the enfeoffment of princes that was revived during the mid-Tang; Yuan has challenged the traditional function of Music Bureau poems by going beyond political critique, making the genre a platform to provide advice on governance, in a manner similar to memorials. This study highlights the innovative nature of Yuan’s New Music Bureau poetry. His New Music Bureau poems comment on the contemporary affairs indicated by the titles, but he often went deeper, to discuss the background of an issue or to offer his views of administration. Moreover, the political situation, particularly regarding the enfeoffment of princes, and Yuan’s own personal endeavors both contributed to the formulation of Yuan’s poem. Yuan’s use of poems as memorials challenges the traditional function of poetry, and exemplifies the mid-Tang trend of experimentation with genre.","PeriodicalId":41166,"journal":{"name":"Tang Studies","volume":"67 1","pages":"108 - 87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/07375034.2017.1382437","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72529916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By the time of the Northern Song, qingci-memorials had developed into a major genre represented in the collected works of literati and statesmen. The earliest substantial collection of qingci, in the Guangcheng ji of Du Guangting, was composed during the late ninth and early tenth century in the Kingdom of Shu. Commissioned by members of the ruling elite, the memorials document the rise of military and regional potentates as well as innovations in Daoist ritual practice under the late Tang and Five Dynasties. The prayers, expressing the apprehensions and anxieties of the patrons of Daoist rituals, convey vivid testimonies of the violent upheavals of the period.","PeriodicalId":41166,"journal":{"name":"Tang Studies","volume":"7 1","pages":"51 - 86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85530593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, though, it is suggested that paying attention at the primary level of poetic imagery—specifically to the boat with its particular functions in the physical world—can provide a fruitful inroad to just such a project, and might lead to interpretive discoveries otherwise overlooked.","PeriodicalId":41166,"journal":{"name":"Tang Studies","volume":"104 1","pages":"1 - 11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78778327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Williams","doi":"10.1080/07375034.2016.1234999","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/07375034.2016.1234999","url":null,"abstract":"Serious research on Tang poetics has barely begun. The traditional scholarship of imperial China placed the rise of Tang poetry in a moralizing framework that obscured the distinction between spiritual orthodoxy and literary technique. In the 20th century, this mode was widely rejected, yet research was instead inhibited by recourse to conceptions of Chinese exceptionalism, reducing Tang poetics to one phase in a monolithic narrative of literary tradition continuous with the Book of Songs. Yet the finest scholarship of our time has already shown that the highest achievements of Tang poetry must be understood first of all in light of contingent and singular facets of that extraordinary epoch, such as its burgeoning cultural influences from Central Asia, the requirements and biases of the civil service examinations, the ongoing transformation of the Buddhist and Daoist religions, specific innovations in tonal prosody, the interregnum of Empress Wu, and the texture of Lady Yang’s stockings. The task that remains for us must be to continue exploring the specific ideological factors that inspired the flourishing of Tang poetics in its own time. In this unusually well-researched and well-documented new study, Nagata Tomoyuki of the Institute for Research in Humanities at Kyoto University has made a major contribution to the historical interpretation of Tang poetics. This is one of the most thorough treatments so far of the simple question: what did Tang people think of their own poetry? The difficulty of answering this previously has been that so little literary theory per se seems to have been written in the Tang, in striking contrast to the Six Dynasties. Professor Nagata’s solution has been to focus singlemindedly on the authentic discussions of literary values in the Tang that do remain extant. Thus the riron / lilun 理論 of the title does not really mean “theory” but should probably be understood literally as “ordered discourses” about literature. According to Nagata’s research, these texts consist essentially of two kinds: firstly, discourse evaluating the legacy of Chen Ziang陳子昂 (659–700) and upholding archaicist (fugu 復古) ideals; and secondly, the poetry manuals (shige 詩格), foremost","PeriodicalId":41166,"journal":{"name":"Tang Studies","volume":"77 1","pages":"128 - 132"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75480993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
