The essential characteristic was an intellectual reorientation toward the relations among language, language users, and the world. Early pioneers, such as Ludwig Wittgenstein, Bertrand Russell, and Ferdinand de Saussure, remain influential in specific academic fields. During nearly a century of reflection and study on language, mind, and society, however, critics, thinkers, and historians rarely ventured outside the scope of the Indo-European languages. Of course, there had been a long tradition of studying classical Chinese and Sanskrit in Europe, but Sinology and Indology belonged to old-fashioned philology, not to the modern linguistic turn. More recently, the postcolonial critic Sheldon I. Pollock has conceptualized Sanskrit as a cosmopolitan language amid South Asia’s wide diversity of spoken languages, and many scholars consider Pollock an exceptional critic of the Western canon. In any event, a genuinely global analysis of human experience should undoubtedly include East Asia, and the disjunction between the studies of Indo-European languages and the rest could not be more obvious. Peter Kornicki’s Languages, Scripts, and Chinese Texts in East Asia, a systematic treatise that tackles the main textual tradition outside the system of Indo-European languages, is a welcome addition to contemporary efforts to engage with such theoretical issues. What defines the geographical scope of Kornicki’s book? The independent emergence of agriculture occurred in only nine locations in the prehistorical world. Of these nine, only four developed into large states in Eurasia.The earliest agriculture in Southwest Asia (the Fertile Crescent) arose around 8000 BCE.

First, the article traces Wang's Buddhist connections and surveys the Buddhist concepts, ideas, and practices of which Wang himself explicitly wrote in his essays and poems. Then it uses these ideas to analyze poems from his \"Wang Stream Collection\" (Wangchuan ji). The conjunctive theme of this article is the underlying emptiness of all existing phenomena, one of the main metaphysical doctrines of Mahayana philosophy and a recurrent motif in Wang's poetry. The author demonstrates that, when seen from the standpoint of emptiness, the relation of the perceiver and the perceived in Wang's short nature poems proves to be more sophisticated than usually thought. Because both the human agent and the natural objects around him are intrinsically empty, they are interrelated and interdependent in the act of perception at the deepest and the most subtle ontological level.","PeriodicalId":53810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Literature and Culture","volume":"9 1","pages":"338 - 366"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44035305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, reformers can be easily overwhelmed by various details, to the point that the most fundamental question, What is Chinese music?, is often obscured. In a sense, we have to define the boundary of Chinese music to determine what new elements should be integrated and what traditional features should be preserved. Chinese music is a highly diverse and complex system, yet traditional Chinese culture emphasizes the importance of homogeneity over heterogeneity due to the constant need for political unity and demand of a single market. However, cultural identity cannot be constructed by homogeneity alone since the boundary of culture can only be best identified when examining its heterogeneity. Pipa and guqin, which represent Chinese musical cultures under significant and little Western influence, respectively, provide an ideal window through which the boundary of Chinese music might be delineated. By discussing the aesthetic pursuits and evolutionary paths that are distinct between the two instruments, the article aims to initiate a small step toward a better understanding of how Chinese music is indeed a highly complex and heterogeneous system in which various musical cultures, despite their distinct origins, can come into contact, interact, fuse, and eventually achieve the state of \"unity in diversity.\"","PeriodicalId":53810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Literature and Culture","volume":"9 1","pages":"425 - 457"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46173587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
