A famous example of his costly 'folie de grandeur' is the Sacred Northeast Mountain Peak Genyue, a gigantic rock garden in the northeast part of the Old City of the capital Kaifeng. The garden is described in sources such as the Huayanggong jishi (Description of the Florescent Solitary Palace) by the Buddhist monk Zu Xiu from 1127 and Zhang Hao's (ca. 1180-1250) Genyue ji (Record of the Northeast Marchmount). The project in search of auspicious blessing started in 1118, having originated in the emperor's conviction that the Daoist Immortals would descend to this exquisite paradise situated in the centre of the world, his capital. In his conviction the landscape garden that exceeded nature's beauty would prolong and glorify his rule for ten thousand years. The Genyue was completed in January 1123, and thus became part of Emperor Huizong's Divine Empyrean Daoist ideology of statecraft. Contrary to all auspicious symbolism, the Song's emblematic demonstrations of power, and the necessity to meet political expectations, Emperor Huizong proved incapable of finding a solution to the disastrous situation at the northern frontier with Jin troupes moving onto his capital. Completed in 1123 the Genyue Marchmount was destroyed in the cold winter of 1126/1127 by the inhabitants of Kaifeng in their desperate struggle for survival in their besieged town.}, subject = {China}, language = {en} } @article{Fischer2014, author = {Fischer, Doris}, title = {The Impact of Changing Incentives in China on International Cooperation in Social Science Research on China}, series = {Journal of Current Chinese Affairs}, volume = {2}, journal = {Journal of Current Chinese Affairs}, number = {2}, issn = {1868-4874}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-120524}, pages = {33-46}, year = {2014}, abstract = {Over the past three decades, China's fast economic development has induced considerable changes in China's university and research institution landscape, research financing and academic career incentives. This paper argues that these changes have affected the motivation and the ways in which Chinese scholars engage in international research cooperation. Most recently it has been observed that strong pressures on scholars and scientists - especially at leading academic institutions - to excel in international publications while simultaneously fulfilling their obligation to generate income for their institutions can lead to a dilemma with regard to international research cooperation: Those institutions and scholars most interesting for foreign scholars to cooperate with may be the ones with the least amount of both incentive and time to enter into serious cooperation. This article invites us to reflect on the implications of these changes in the incentive structure for cooperation in social science research on China.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Frick2014, author = {Frick, Patricia Christine}, title = {Gewand und Ritual : Die Bekleidung der Song-Dynastie im Spiegel des Sanli tu}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-101924}, school = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {2014}, abstract = {Gegenstand der Untersuchung ist die Bekleidung der Song-Dynastie (960-1279) im Spiegel der f{\"u}r ihre Zeit dokumentierten rituellen Bekleidungsvorschriften, insbesondere dem von Nie Chongyi verfassten Sanli tu 三禮圖 [Bebilderungen zu den Drei Ritenklassikern] aus den fr{\"u}hen Jahren der Dynastie.}, subject = {Songdynastie <960-1279>}, language = {de} } @misc{Zhang2023, type = {Master Thesis}, author = {Zhang, Shenxishuai}, title = {Conflicts and Anxieties over Money in Late Ming Vernacular Stories}, doi = {10.25972/OPUS-31673}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-316733}, school = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {2023}, abstract = {The present study discusses money and conflicts and anxiety over money in late Ming vernacular stories and contextualizes these stories in the contemporary society of economic prosperity and rapid changes. The high monetization and extensive use of silver and copper cash as currency brought both wealth and conflicts in various aspects of society. Eleven vernacular stories from several collections are adopted as source materials for the close examination, including Jingshi tongyan (Stories to Caution the World, 1624) and Xingshi hengyan (Stories to Awaken the World, 1627) by Feng Menglong (1574-1646) and the two Pai'an jingqi (Slapping the Table in Amazement, 1628 and 1632) collections by Ling Mengchu (1580-1644), etc. The analysis then focuses on the relationship between money and four topics, the late Ming context, social relations, gender ideals, and religion. Multiple voices and various viewpoints in these narratives show human beings' struggles in taming and dominating money, the increasingly familiar and essential object in everyday life. Generally, when people cannot control money properly, there is a fear of its detrimental power to humans and social relations within and beyond families. On the contrary, characters, who are able to control money, are praised.}, subject = {Geld}, language = {en} } @masterthesis{Schiffmann2023, type = {Bachelor Thesis}, author = {Schiffmann, Luisa}, title = {Medialer Konflikt um ein kulinarisches Kulturgut: Analyse des Diskurses zur Kimchi-/Paocai-Kontroverse in ausgew{\"a}hlten chinesischen und s{\"u}dkoreanischen Onlinezeitungen}, doi = {10.25972/OPUS-31191}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-311919}, school = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Die vorliegende Arbeit analysiert die chinesisch-s{\"u}dkoreanische Kontroverse um die Herkunft von Kimchi (kimch'i 김치) beispielhaft f{\"u}r Dispute um kulturelle Eigenheiten anhand von Material aus Online-Medien.
