(Vorwort) // The Yangtze Three Gorges extends from White King Town in Fengjie County, Chongqing City to Nanjingguan Pass in Yichang City, consisting of Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge and Xiling Gorge, with a full length of 192 km. It gets the essence of the scenery on the Yangtze River. As a unique landscape of China, it has been displaying its special charm for thousands of years. Inside the gorge region, the peaks tower into the sky, the steep cliffs face one another, and the jagged rocks are of grotesque shapes. The Qutang Gorge is magnificent, the Wu Gorge is elegant, and the Xiling Gorge is perilous. The unique climate of the gorge region produces rare scenes of different weather. The rain and clouds of Mt. Wushan are very changeable and colorful. In other words, the change is unpredictable just as it is described in an ancient poem: "Having been to a vast sea, one will never think much of the water in a river, and one will find no clouds attractive comparing them with those of the Wushan Mountain ...

8vo, hardcover vin dj, 364pp. During the Cultural Revolution, Mao exhorted the Chinese people to ?smash the four olds?: old customs, old culture, old habits, and old ideas. Yet when the Red Guards in Tiananmen Square chanted ?We want to see Chairman Mao,? they unknowingly used a classical rhythm that dates back to the Han period and is the very embodiment of the four olds. An Anatomy of Chinese reveals how rhythms, conceptual metaphors, and political language convey time-honored meanings of which Chinese speakers themselves may not be consciously aware, and contributes to the ongoing debate over whether language shapes thought, or vice versa. Perry Link?s inquiry into the workings of Chinese reveals convergences and divergences with English, most strikingly in the area of conceptual metaphor. Different spatial metaphors for consciousness, for instance, mean that English speakers wake up while speakers of Chinese wake across. Other underlying metaphors in the two languages are similar, lending support to theories that locate the origins of language in the brain. The distinction between daily-life language and official language has been unusually significant in contemporary China, and Link explores how ordinary citizens learn to play language games, artfully wielding officialese to advance their interests or defend themselves from others. Particularly provocative is Link?s consideration of how Indo-European languages, with their preference for abstract nouns, generate philosophical puzzles that Chinese, with its preference for verbs, avoids. The mind-body problem that has plagued Western culture may be fundamentally less problematic for speakers of Chinese.

SHENGJI TU. (Illustrated Scenes from the Life of the Sage, Confucius). 30x40 cm. chinese tex,t, maps, illustrations, portraits + 105 woodblock prints depicting the life of confucius, in the original chinese sewn binding. protected in later chinese style blue cloth box, with straps and ivory needles. a very good copy. scarce.A recent article by Chun Shum in the 'East Asian Library Journal' (Vol. 10, no. 1) provides a wealth of information on what amounts to an exemplary sub-genre of Chinese illustrated book production. In fact, scenes from the life of the Confucius are, arguably, at the fountainhead of book illustration in China. Illustrations of Confucius' life exist in three media: as paintings, engraved on stone (typically reproduced in collections of rubbings), and as woodblock printed editions. The earliest painted version were probably produced in during the Eastern Han period; three sets of stone engravings are said to exist; and there have been many woodcut editions of the Sage's illustrated life. The earliest printed versions are thought to date to the 13th century, but no such Song editions survive. There are several Ming editions. The quality of the illustrations and of the prints differ greatly. This one is taken fromt blocks that appear to be the best we have seeen.The present work is a late Qing edition, most likely a later printing from the blocks prepared by Kong Xianlan in 1874. This edition is noted and described in Chun Shum's article (pp. 153-55), and the sample illustration reproduced matches the corresponding images in the present work. All 105 images collated by Chun Shum are present, along with the introductory text taken from the biography of Confucius in the 'Shiji'. Quality of paper and printing indicate that this may be a somewhat later impression from Kong's blocks, impossible to date precisely. the impressions are clear and the book is a rich source of the visual imagery - based on earlier, Ming model - produced at the time. Scanned samples available on request. Confucius - Pictorial works.
