文献と遺物の境界:中国出土簡牘史料の生態的研究

Editors:
籾山明(Akira MOMIYAMA)、佐藤信(Makoto, SATO)

Publication Year:
2011

Publisher:
六一書房 




Abstract:

これまでの中国出土簡牘研究は、文字の釈読や語句の解釈に専念するあまり、簡牘(木簡・竹簡)の出土遺物としての側面を軽視してきた感がある。本書はこうした傾向に対する批判に立って、簡牘が文献と遺物の境界に位置する史料であるとの視点から、研究を新たなステージに引き上げようとする試みである。

具体的には、簡牘と出土遺構の関連性、文書の書き手と行政実務、作製から再利用・廃棄に至る簡牘のライフサイクル、墓中に副葬される簡牘の意味、および紙への移行の実態などの問題が、それぞれの史料に即して実証的に分析される。そこに見えてくるのは、多様な形態をもち、移動し、生成・消滅する動的な史料としての出土簡牘の姿であり、また担い手となる古代人の行動と人間関係である。この点において本書は、社会史的な関心にも十分に応える内容となっている。中国史研究者のみならず、日本木簡研究や史料論に関心をもつ方々に、ぜひ一読をお願いしたい。

Conquer and Govern: Early Chinese Military Texts from the Yi Zhou shu 《征服與統治: 逸周書中早期中國軍事文獻》

作者 Author:
Robin McNeal 

出版年 Publication Year:
2012 

出版社 Publisher:
University Of Hawaii Press 

內容簡介 Abstract:

China’s Warring States era (ca. 5th–3rd century BCE) was the setting for an explosion of textual production, and one of the most sophisticated and enduring genres of writing from this period was the military text. Social and political changes were driven in large part by the increasing scope and scale of warfare, and some of the best minds of the day (including Sunzi, whose Art of War is still widely read) devoted their attention to the systematic analysis of all factors involved in waging war. Conquer and Govern makes available for the first time in any Western language a corpus of military texts from a long neglected Warring States compendium of historical, political, military, and ritual writings known as the Yi Zhou shu, or Remainder of the Zhou Documents.

The texts articulate concretely and vividly the relationship between military conquest of an enemy and incorporation of conquered territories into one’s civilian government, expressed dynamically through the paired Chinese concept of wen and wu, the civil and the martial. Exploring this conceptual dyad as it evolved across the Warring States era into the early Western Han (ca. 2nd–1st century BCE) provides an alternative view of the social and intellectual history of classical China—one based not primarily on philosophical works but on a complex array of ideological writings concerned with the just, effective, and appropriate use of state power. In addition, this study presents a careful reconstruction of the poetic structure of these texts; analyzes their place in the broader discourse on warfare and governance in early China; introduces the many text historical problems of the Yi Zhou shu itself; and offers a synthetic analysis of early Chinese thinking about warfare, strategy, and the early state’s use of coercive power.

The Everlasting Empire:The Political Culture of Ancient China and Its Imperial Legacy

《永恆的帝國: 古代中國的政治文化及其遺產》

作者 Author:
Yuri Pines

出版社 Publisher:
Princeton Press

出版年 Publication Year:
2012

內容簡介 Abstract:
Established in 221 BCE, the Chinese empire lasted for 2,132 years before being replaced by the Republic of China in 1912. During its two millennia, the empire endured internal wars, foreign incursions, alien occupations, and devastating rebellions--yet fundamental institutional, sociopolitical, and cultural features of the empire remained intact. The Everlasting Empire traces the roots of the Chinese empire's exceptional longevity and unparalleled political durability, and shows how lessons from the imperial past are relevant for China today.

Yuri Pines demonstrates that the empire survived and adjusted to a variety of domestic and external challenges through a peculiar combination of rigid ideological premises and their flexible implementation. The empire's major political actors and neighbors shared its fundamental ideological principles, such as unity under a single monarch--hence, even the empire's strongest domestic and foreign foes adopted the system of imperial rule. Yet details of this rule were constantly negotiated and adjusted. Pines shows how deep tensions between political actors including the emperor, the literati, local elites, and rebellious commoners actually enabled the empire's basic institutional framework to remain critically vital and adaptable to ever-changing sociopolitical circumstances. As contemporary China moves toward a new period of prosperity and power in the twenty-first century, Pines argues that the legacy of the empire may become an increasingly important force in shaping the nation's future trajectory.

Riding the Wind with Liezi: New Perspectives on the Daoist Classic 《列子》


Editors:
Ronnie Littlejohn & Jeffrey Dippmann

Publisher:

SUNY Press

Publication Year:

2012

Abstract:


The Liezi is the forgotten classic of Daoism. Along with the Laozi (Daodejing) and the Zhuangzi, it’s been considered a Daoist masterwork since the mid-eighth century, yet unlike those well-read works, the Liezi is little known and receives scant scholarly attention. Nevertheless, the Liezi is an important text that sheds valuable light on the early history of Daoism, particularly the formative period of sectarian Daoism. We do not know exactly what shape the original text took, but what remains is replete with fantastic characters, whimsical tales, paradoxical aphorisms, and philosophically sophisticated reflection on the nature of the world and humanity’s place within it. Ultimately, the Liezi sees the world as one of change and indeterminacy.

Arguing for the Liezi’s historical, philosophical, and literary significance, the contributors to this volume offer a fresh look at this text, using contemporary approaches and providing novel insights. The volume is unique in its attention to both philosophical and religious perspectives.
