Abstract:

中国唐代の6名の文人,白居易,杜甫,李商隠,柳宗元,温庭筠,蘇軾の詩詞に現れた医学関連用語を検討し,当時の医学的常識を踏まえて彼らの医学と養生に関する事跡から,どのような環境や習慣が文人たちの疾病や老化,死因になったかを明らかにする。

白居易は病弱多病で頭痛眩暈,眼病,半身不随,ストレスによる肺疾患に罹り,白髪,歯脱などの老化が速かった。杜甫は窮貧や船上生活などにより風邪に悩まされ,老齢のなかでの過剰な性生活による腎疾患,飲酒や喫茶習慣に由来する様々な病状,そして生薬への関心を強めた。李商隠は遺伝による糖尿病を患い,それによる眼疾患や腎不全,心不全などの二次病態が原因で47歳で死亡した。柳宗元が流謫された永州や柳州は暑湿の地で種々の疾病が流行る土地柄であった。環境と身の不遇の中で,散策や腹式呼吸,さらに「荘子」や仏教に親しんで,不安定な心身の状態に耐えようと苦心した。温庭筠の詩文の過剰なまでの修飾表現は,他者との関係を取り持てないアスペルガー症候群に由来する。蘇軾は眼や耳,そして痔に悩まされたが,医薬,養生への関心と知識を広く伝えようと努めた。本書は中国古典文学の疾病に関する貴重な報告である。

A Good Son Is Sad if He Hears the Name of His Father: The Tabooing of Names in China as a Way of Implementing Social Values

Author:
Piotr Adamek

Publisher:
Sankt Augustin, Germany : Institut Monumenta Serica

Publication Date:

Abstract:

When in 1775 the scholar Wang Xihou 王錫侯 compiled a dictionary called Ziguan 字貫, he wrote, for illustrative purposes, the personal names of Confucius and the three emperors Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong in the introduction. In oversight, he recorded their complete names. This accidental writing of a few names was condemned by Emperor Qianlong as an unprecedented crime, rebellion and high treason. Wang Xihou was executed, his property confiscated and his books were burnt. His family was arrested and his sons and grandsons were killed or sent as slaves to Heilongjiang. 

It is surprising what an enormous impact the tabooing of names (bihui 避諱) had on Chinese culture. The names of sovereigns, ancestors, officials, teachers, and even friends were all considered taboo, in other words it was prohibited to pronounce them or to record them in writing. In numerous cases characters identical or similar in writing or pronunciation were often avoided as well. The tabooing of names was observed in the family and on the street, in the office and in the emperor’s palace. The practice of bihui had serious consequences for the daily lives of the Chinese and for Chinese historiography. People even avoided certain places and things, and refused to accept offices. They were punished and sometimes even killed in connection with the tabooing of names. The bihui custom existed as an important element of Chinese culture and was perceived as significant by Chinese and foreigners alike. It was crucial for implementing social values and demonstrating the political hierarchy. 

The present work A Good Son Is Sad if He Hears the Name of His Father is a systematic study of Chinese name-tabooing customs, which until now have been relatively little explored in Western-language Sinological studies. It attempts to provide a long-term perspective on the changing dynamics of tabooing and elucidates various aspects related to the fascinating topic of tabooing of names.

Celestial Masters: History and Ritual in Early Daoist Communities

Author:
Terry F. Kleeman

Publisher:
Harvard University Asia Center

Publication Date:
2016.7.11




Abstract:

In 142 CE, the divine Lord Lao descended to Mount Cranecall (Sichuan province) to establish a new covenant with humanity through a man named Zhang Ling, the first Celestial Master. Facing an impending apocalypse caused by centuries of sin, Zhang and his descendants forged a communal faith centering on a universal priesthood, strict codes of conduct, and healing through the confession of sins; this faith was based upon a new, bureaucratic relationship with incorruptible supernatural administrators. By the fourth century, Celestial Master Daoism had spread to all parts of China, and has since played a key role in China’s religious and intellectual history.

Celestial Masters is the first book in any Western language devoted solely to the founding of the world religion Daoism. It traces the movement from the mid-second century CE through the sixth century, examining all surviving primary documents in both secular and canonical sources to offer a comprehensive account of the development of this poorly understood religion. It also provides a detailed analysis of ritual life within the movement, covering the roles of common believer or Daoist citizen, novice, and priest or libationer.

[Dissertation] Shaping Religious and Cultural Aspiration: Engraved Sutras in Southwestern Shandong Province from the Northern Qi Dynasty (550-577 CE), China

Author:
Ha, Jungmin

School:
Duke University

Year:
2016

Advisor:
Abe, Stanley K.

Abstract:

This dissertation explores how the Buddhist texts carved on the cliffs of mountains served their patrons’ religious and cultural goals. During the Northern Qi period (550-577 CE), these carved Buddhist sutra texts and Buddha names were prevalent, and were carved directly onto the surfaces of numerous mountains in southwestern Shandong Province. 

The special focus of this study is on the Buddhist engravings at Mt. Hongding 洪頂 in Dongping 東平, and at Mt. Tie 鐵 in Zoucheng 鄒城. Created in approximately 553-564 CE, the carvings at Mt. Hongding stand as the terminus a quo of the history of Buddhist sutras carved into the rocks of the Shandong mountains. The Buddhist carvings at Mt. Hongding served monastic goals. The monk patrons, Seng’an Daoyi 僧安道壹, Fahong 法洪, and others created the carvings as an integral part of their Buddhist meditation practices. 

The carvings at Mt. Tie paint a very different picture. At Mt. Tie, a colossal Buddhist sculpture-style carving was created in 579 CE. Sponsored by several Han Chinese patrons, the carving was designed in the form of a gigantic Chinese traditional stele. This study suggests that several Han Chinese local elites proudly displayed their Han Chinese linage by using the gigantic stele form of Buddhist text carving as a means to proclaim Han Chinese cultural and artistic magnificence. To achieve these non-religious goals, they appropriated rhetorical devices often used by the Han elite, such as the stele form, written statements about the excellence of the calligraphy used, and discourse on calligraphy connoisseurship.

La fabrique du lisible: La mise en texte des manuscrits de la Chine ancienne et médiévale

Author: 
Jean Pierre Drège; Costantino Moretti

Publisher: 
Paris : Collège de France, Institut des hautes études chinoises

Publication Year: 
2014

Abstract:

La fabrique du lisible rassemble 51 contributions consacrées aux manuscrits chinois anciens et médiévaux. Le livre chinois est ici abordé sous tous ses aspects. Une attention particulière est accordée à la forme des livres et à leur mise en texte. 

Si la plupart des articles concernent la période médiévale, et en particulier les manuscrits de Dunhuang, plusieurs contributions sont aussi consacrées à des manuscrits de l’époque des Han. La prise en compte de l’évolution du livre chinois sur la longue durée constitue une des spécificités de cette étude. 

La fabrique du lisible bénéficie en outre d’un grand nombre d’illustrations couleur qui permettent de se représenter très clairement les différents types de manuscrits décrits et analysés dans cet ouvrage.
