The Guodian manuscripts are a cache of literary and philosophical texts from the fourth century BCE, discovered in a Warring States–period tomb in China’s Hubei Province. Through detailed decipherment and textual analysis, Kuan-yun Huang investigates the historical and philosophical contexts of these texts and convincingly proposes their association with Zisi, the grandson of Confucius. Huang not only offers an in-depth portrait of this famous scion from excavated texts and transmitted literary records, but also reveals the connection of the Guodian texts with early intellectual tradition in China, including the teachings of Xunzi, Mencius, Confucius, and the legendary Laozi, as well as the effort of rewriting that transformed Zisi’s original teachings into a conformist line of thinking, which defined and constituted the Confucian tradition of a later time.-------------- In Kuan-yun Huang’s The Lost Texts of Confucius’ Grandson, the shadowy figure of Zisi comes to life as an

The first exhaustive English-language history and analysis of the Chinese opera genre, Kunqu. In Kunqu: A Classical Opera of Twenty-First-Century China, Joseph S. C. Lam offers a holistic and interdisciplinary view of Kunqu, a 600-year-old genre of Chinese opera that has been fashionably performed inside and outside of China. The first comprehensive and scholarly book on Kunqu written in English, this book explains how and why the genre charms and signifies Chinese culture, history, and personhood. Approaching the genre from several perspectives, ranging from those of performers and producers to those of casual audiences, dedicated connoisseurs, and scholarly critics, Lam also employs a judicious blend of Chinese and international theories and methods. Herein, he establishes the significance of Kunqu not only in the sphere of Chinese music but among the cultural heritage and performing arts at a global level as well.

First written in response to a JACT survey of over 100 schools, this textbook has become a standard resource for students throughout the UK and for readers across the world who are looking for a clear and thorough introduction to the language of the ancient Greeks. Now revised throughout and enhanced by colour artwork and text features, this revised edition will support the new OCR specification for Classical Greek (first teaching 2016).Written by a long-time school teacher and examiner, this two-part course is based on experience of what pupils find difficult, concentrating on the essentials and on the understanding of principles in both accidence and syntax: minor irregularities are postponed and subordinated so that the need for rote learning is reduced. It aims to be user-friendly, but also to give pupils a firm foundation for further study. Part 1 covers the basics and is self-contained, with its own reference section. It covers the main declensions, a range of active tenses and a

「痛」是人類共有的不愉快感覺與經驗，不僅包含肉體及精神上不同層面的感受，其性質、強度、範圍及持續時間也各異其趣。對患者而言，緩解痛的需求經常比治療原發疾病更加迫切，這是臨床上最具特色的難題之一。作者經由各種史料與文本的分析，探索歷史、文化及醫學相互影響之脈絡，並以較寬廣的角度審視古典中醫學裡「痛與生命」之間的各種關係。此外，更挖掘出不同時空背景下，時人身體觀與身體感的多樣性、面對身心病痛的感受與態度，及其對應的醫學理論與方法。本書除了解析「痛」的相關概念，亦同步探討古典中醫在先秦兩漢萌芽期牽涉的各種生命議題，以及逐漸成形的知識群對後世的影響。作者也以醫師的立場呼籲，中醫學的研究與臨床都應先從古典內涵起步，才有機會再創新。全書內容不僅具備專業的深度，也透露出作者對古典中醫學的熱情與信心

Escaping the End of Times is a book where history meets psychology. It invites readers to explore the intricate relationships between dreams, politics, and the Chinese writing system in early modern China.Thoroughly researched and written in an accessible manner, this book presents a series of historical encounters that reveal how Ming scholars countered instability by compiling and editing dream texts. Readers learn how these scholars translated their dreams into action, used the past to bolster their status, reaffirmed their preferred societal order, merged myth and history, and interpreted their dreams and the dreams of others through creative techniques grounded in scholarly tradition.By combining detailed research with captivating storytelling, this book not only brings the world of late Ming dream analysis to life but also demonstrates the relevance of the past to the stories we tell now about ourselves and our own dreams.

How the legacy of the Civil War--as presented by writers, poets, and artists of the time--has shaped American visions of democracy In Haunted by the Civil War, Shirley Samuels explores the work of Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Herman Melville, Frederick Douglass, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and others to investigate the long cultural shadow of America's cataclysmic sundering. Juxtaposing these texts with images--ranging from paintings by Winslow Homer to newspaper and magazine illustrations of political controversies--Samuels argues that the Civil War still haunts our attitudes toward democracy. The recent toppling of Confederate monuments, the continuing protests over racial and sexual discrimination, immigration, and Indigenous land rights: each of these forms part of the war's legacy. Examining the fraught deliberations about an ideal American democracy in the early republic, Samuels turns to the language of sensation in the poetry of Melville, Dickinson, and Whitman alongside Lincol

在數位轉型與永續發展浪潮交織的今日，本期《產業與管理論壇》收錄兩篇科技新知與管理專欄、兩篇研究論文及兩篇教學個案，內容涵蓋ESG管理、價值創新與科技應用等，探討企業與產業在當前複雜環境中的回應與轉型。以下為本期各篇內容摘要： 第一篇〈從數字美化到管理實踐〉新知中，作者探討ESG報告書過度指標化的現象，主張ESG不應淪為數字堆砌，而應回歸實務管理與策略邏輯，因此提出將 ESG 策略嵌入核心價值鏈與治理流程的整合分析架構，提供企業用於檢視自身及競爭者的ESG實踐及規劃。此篇新知文章可提供台灣實務界推動ESG的策略思考新方向。 第二篇〈離岸風電產業中政府－企業－市場的滾動式調整機制探析〉新知中，作者指出離岸風電產業在總體經濟不確定下，政策與市場正在動態調整彼此的互動模式。文章以歐洲經驗為例，說明不同開發商的行為反應如何影響制度設計與投資策略，可提供台灣離岸風電產業政策發展的新視角。 第三篇〈The Role of Internet Marketing in Enhancing International Tourist Hotel Performance〉論文中，作者以資源基礎觀點分析國際觀光飯店如何透過資訊科技與網路行銷能力提升關係績效與市場占有率。研究結果發現，資訊科技能力與國際市場導向對國際績效的影響受到網路行銷能力的中介效果，且這兩者之間的互動對 IM 能力有正面影響。 第四篇〈重塑顧客價值主張〉中，作者結合藍海策略價值曲線與商業模式兩種觀點，以IC設計公司作為個案，探討企業如何提升顧客價值。價值曲線與商業模式雖然被廣泛用來探討顧客價值，但過去兩者缺乏深度的整合。研究結果發現，顧客價值主張會動態演化，並且帶動商業模式的創新轉型。此文章對於兩種理論觀點的整合具有重要意涵。 第五篇〈普祺樂的數位化挑戰〉個案中，作者聚焦零售中介商「普祺樂」因快速擴張面對的資訊不對稱挑戰，以交易成本與核心能力理論，探討企業應如何運用價值鏈分析，辨識企業的競爭優勢與核心價值創造活動，藉此帶領讀者探討普祺樂在APP自行開發和外包的策略選擇上，應該如何思考？ 第六篇〈富采推動ESG轉型〉個案以富采集團為案例，分析企業在ESG轉型策略上採取外包或內製的抉擇。除了顯性財務成本外，此個案從利害關係人視角帶領讀者探討跨部門協調、資訊安全與風險等隱性非財務因素對企業ESG轉型的影響。此個案對於瞭解ESG

This elegant volume invites readers on a lyrical journey through the Ming dynasty's finest blue and white ceramics—each chapter titled after a classical Chinese poem and interpreted through the lens of verse.With refined scholarship and poetic sensitivity, the author unveils how the spirit of ancient poems echoes in the form, motif, and glaze of porcelain masterpieces. A banquet of beauty and meaning awaits—where every vessel tells a story, and every poem reveals a hidden glaze of time.【本書特色】◎瓷器的收藏，作者認為不僅在於鑑識是否為到代的真品，還在於藝術上是否有可取之處、是否在器用之外別具詩意。一如徐悲鴻所言：「寧買假而似真，不買真而似假。」因此，更值得品味的，是青花瓷上展現的意境與祕境，此即本書意旨所在，這是一本市

This book features five theme-based units on cross-disciplinary academic English skills, focusing on the needs of first-year undergraduate students. Each unit covers academic writing, reading, and speaking skills. The units progressively take students through the steps needed to complete three common academic assignments: the essay, report, and tutorial discussion. These steps include searching for quality sources, note-taking, establishing a critical stance, formulating evidence-based arguments, synthesizing information from multiple sources, and structuring academic texts. Each unit also provides opportunities for students to analyse texts, apply their critical thinking skills, practise what they have learnt in productive tasks, and reflect upon their progress.This book is aimed at first-time university students. Many of the readings are related to China and a broader Asian context. As such, it appeals to first-year university students in Hong Kong, Mainland China, and Taiwan.

This book offers a fresh English interpretation of the ancient channels in Chinese medicine, drawing from some of its most authoritative historical texts. It focuses on the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon (Huáng Dì Nèi Jīng), written between 200–300 BCE and widely regarded as the cornerstone of modern Chinese medicine. By examining this revered text, the book provides a unique perspective on how the channels were originally conceptualized and how they have evolved over time. In addition to exploring the channels outlined in the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon, the book offers a comparative analysis of ancient and modern interpretations, illuminating their continuity and transformation. It brings the earliest documented descriptions of these channels to life, offering readers a rare glimpse into the roots of Chinese medical theory. The book provides an in-depth examination of the Eight Extraordinary Vessels, moving beyond their brief mentions in the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon.

This book is the second in a two-volume monograph on the Zidanku Silk Manuscripts. Looted in 1942 from the Warring States-period Chu tomb at Zidanku, Changsha, the manuscripts date to the turn from the 4th to the 3rd centuries BCE and are the only pre-Imperial Chinese manuscripts on silk found to-date. The monograph represents the culmination of almost four decades of research by Professor Li Ling of Peking University. Volume One addresses the circumstances of the discovery of the Zidanku Silk Manuscripts and the subsequent provenance history in China and the United States.Volume Two provides the first complete transcription of the Zidanku Silk Manuscripts in their entirety together with reproductions of the original manuscripts. The transcription is accompanied by comprehensive annotations, with full paleographic and philological analysis of the texts. An English translation of the texts has been added by Professor Donald Harper. For the first time, the Zidanku Silk Manuscripts can be

Volume IThe Silk Manuscripts from Zidanku, Changsha (Hunan), are the only pre-Imperial Chinese manuscripts on silk found to-date. Dating to the turn from the 4th to the 3rd centuries BC (Late Warring States period), they contain several texts concerning basic cosmological concepts, including one manuscript (Manuscript 1) with a diagrammatic arrangement and surrounded by pictorial illustrations. As such, they constitute a unique source of information complementing and going beyond what is known from transmitted texts.This is the first in a two-volume monograph on the Zidanku manuscripts, reflecting almost four decades of research by Professor Li Ling of Peking University. While the philological study and translation of the manuscript texts is the subject of Volume Two, this first volume presents the archaeological context andhistory of transmission of the physical manuscripts. It records how they were taken from their original place of interment in the 1940s and taken to the United Stat

The GNH ideology of Bhutan acts as a catalyst for happiness, challenging the dominant paradigm of economic development as the sole metric of progress and prompting individuals to reassess the true essence of happiness in life. It calls upon governments to integrate happiness into policy planning. We believe that Bhutan's Gross National Happiness concept is not only relevant to Bhutan but also serves as an important reference for every country and the entire world to pursue happiness and well-being.Moving ahead, there is anticipation that alongside national happiness indices, a collective "Gross Earth Happiness" index could emerge, enhancing the overall well-being of humanity and nurturing a more harmonious cosmic civilization within the galaxy!不丹的GNH思想，宛如幸福的火種，改變人類以經濟為發展單一量尺的價值觀，啟發人們重新省思生命的幸福，促使政府將幸福納入政策規劃。我們認為不丹的國家幸福力思想，不只針對不丹，更能作為世界上的每一個國家及全體地球創發幸福的重要參考。期待在未來，除了各國的幸福力，更能成全地球加總的「地球幸福力」，形成整體文明的幸福指數，在銀河中創造更美好的宇宙文明！
