Revisiting the foundation of Chinese spiritual life, the prestigious historian Cho-yun Hsu seeks a way to connect Chinese culture with the world. This book is an insightful and lively discussion of the spiritual life of the Chinese people. Through investigation of cultural ideals and life practices, Professor Cho-yun Hsu constructs an original portrait of Chinese cultural values. Apart from the exalted subtleties of the scholarly elite, he pays much attention to everyday people’s daily practices and collective memory, seeking to clarify Chinese ideas concerning the universe, human life, and nature, from traditional times down to the present day. Professor Hsu contends the problems Western civilization is facing nowadays, including various crises of alienation and separation from nature, are ones that it lacks resources to solve. He believes Chinese humanistic culture might offer another way forward and be of benefit to the future of the world. ------------- A work of passionate hum

“Red and blue appear in stark contrast with one another on the map of America. But the even more profound divide is the alienation in our hearts.” This work is a striking analysis of the struggles faced by American society, written from the perspective of a Chinese professor of history who spent 60 years of his life in the US. As both an insider and outsider to this country, Cho-yun Hsu is able to perceive what many other Americans may take for granted, and it is this viewpoint—together with his decades of experience teaching history at the University of Pittsburgh—that make this work so unusual and worthwhile. This work analyzes American history through a wide range of topics, including culture, politics, economics, industrialization, class, ethnicity, the urban-rural divide, and more. Expertly analyzing the origins of the tension and conflict between different classes and ethnic groups in American society, this book seeks to offer a way forward from a humanistic perspective, in the

This book adds richly not only to understanding of the unique form of Daoism in Central Hunan today, but to the entire fashi tradition that rose to prominence in the Song–Yuan. In the hills of China’s central Hunan province, an anxious young apprentice officiates over a Daoist ritual known as the Banner Rite to Summon Sire Yin. Before a crowd of masters, relatives, and villagers—and the entire pantheon of gods and deceased masters ritually invited to witness the event—he seeks to summon Celestial Lord Yin Jiao, the ferocious deity who supplies the exorcistic power to protect and heal bodies and spaces from illness and misfortune. If the apprentice cannot bring forth the deity, the rite is considered a failure and the ordination suspended: His entire professional career hangs in the balance before it even begins. This richly textured study asks how the Banner Rite works or fails to work in its own terms. How do the cosmological, theological, and anthropological assumptions ensconced i

St. Stephen’s Girls’ College is one of the many schools run under the auspices of the Anglican Church in Hong Kong. Starting as a tiny missionary school for upper-class Chinese girls and their younger brothers, it has evolved into a large establishment, comprising kindergarten, primary and secondary sections, playing its full part in the public sector of education and now serving a complete socio-economic cross-section of the community. As one of the earliest schools for girls in the territory, St. Stephen’s played a significant role in the opening up of educational opportunities for Chinese girls. This book records the history and development of the school and is written for its 90th Anniversary, using much original source material. The author, who was head of the school for over thirty years, has set this history within the educational, social and political context of the times. This book will be of obvious interest to those who have a connection with the school: council members, t

Appropriate for use by students at varying levels of competence, Burmese: A Cultural Approach provides a thorough and systematic introduction to the Burmese writing system in Part One and a series of true-to-life conversations in Part Two. Students with some prior knowledge of the spoken language but little familiarity with the Burmese script can use Part One to solidify their grasp of the Burmese sound system as well as its orthography. Intrepid beginners could also start their study of the language by making use of Part One. Doing so would mean making a slower start at formulating phrases as compared to using a romanization system but learners would gain a firmer foundation for the later—and eventually, faster—development of their speaking and reading skills. The conversations in Part Two are extensively annotated in order to illustrate grammatical patterns, characteristic turns of phrase, and typical habits of social interaction. True to an anthropological approach to language le

──內容介紹── In the10th year of the Showa era (1935), Dorian Gray was Twenty-year-old. He came to Taipei forInherit family business. He was a pure and kind-hearted young man who was full of curiosity and longing for the world, but when he discovered that his beauty was a power, he abused this power to cause his future to become miserable... ──本書特色── The prototype of the story is "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde (1854～1900).This is a composite text that combines Slash, Eroticism and Thriller, looking for a new meaning in contemporary Taiwan.

──內容介紹── 昭和十年（1935），大稻埕紡織富商之獨孫竇蓮魁，為承繼家業而回到了台北。那時，蓮魁年方二十，原是個純真善良對這世界充滿好奇與憧憬的俊美青年，與表親林妙峰、醫生高騰、攝影師白雲清，先後成為莫逆之交。 雲清為蓮魁拍了張寫真。那不僅留下蓮魁絕美的樣貌，也引來詭譎的力量，能讓蓮魁永保青春，不受病傷，一切都由照片裡的自己去承受身體的衰敗及心理的醜惡。 從此恣意妄為的蓮魁，變得會運用自身的美貌去換得想要一切，進而忽略了其背後必然付出的代價，最終也讓自己與雲清的情愛悲慘收場。 ──本書特色── 漫畫《竇蓮魁》的前作為《美男子竇蓮魁》（稱：戲曲版），是正在動映參與第四屆青年戲曲藝術節的力作，曾於2015年3月，假臺北市藝文推廣處大稻埕戲苑演出。當時因題材特殊、選角精確、加上多元性的跨域藝術合作，自發布起，即引起轟動，最終票房長紅場場滿座，並在相關網路社群上形成熱烈討論，可謂佳評如潮。 本故事的原型是以愛爾蘭詩人、劇作家王爾德（Oscar Wilde1854～1900）的《格雷的畫像》（The Picture of Dorian Gray 1890）為藍本，將其鑲嵌在日治時期的台北。講述一名富豪美男竇蓮魁，自純潔良善而衰敗墮落的心路歷程。重新界說《格雷的畫像》，這結合耽美、愛慾與驚悚的複合文本，在當代台灣的嶄新詮釋與意義。

隨著雲端運算、萬物聯網與5G的快速發展，未來IT、OT、CT結合AI分析機制，應用在各種場域（製造、金融、醫療、零售、交通、能源等）的資通安全產品暨服務，為資通安全產業開創出值得期待的未來與龐大商機。但網路的無所不在同樣也讓資通安全風險急速擴大，亦成為萬物聯網與各種智慧應用普及發展的主要障礙。 智慧城市（Smart City）是近年來各國積極布局未來的發展重點及方向，從物聯網（Internet of Things, IoT）蓬勃發展後，智慧城市下各項垂直領域的智慧化服務逐漸受到關注，如：智慧製造、智慧交通、智慧零售、智慧安控、智慧家庭、智慧能源等。智慧物聯網（Artificial Intelligence & Internet of Things, AIoT）讓智慧化服務進化成實至名歸的智慧應用，然而智慧化服務的營運必然伴隨資訊安全的議題。 資通安全的產品暨服務受到不同國家與區域在資安市場、法規、軍事科技，以及資訊科技產業影響，因此各國的產業發展程度各不相同，美國的政府與企業對於資通安全議題相對重視，也促成美國資安產業的蓬勃發展，全球知名的雲端資安大廠多數集中在美國，包含Microsoft、Amazon Web Services、IBM Security、Palo Alto Networks、Splunk等業者。2020年由於受到疫情的影響，美國資安業者也分別推出各自的資安因應解決方案，以協助業者在疫情期間能夠在足夠的資安防護之下維持營運。 5G通訊技術方面，臺灣資通訊產業以硬體製造並行銷全世界市場而聞名於世，因此在發展5G的過程中，產業鏈中的基地台設備、局端設備，以及網路設備至關重要，其次包括晶片廠商，電信營運商、軟體整合及大數據、用戶端設備及手機等產業之業者，亦在5G產業鏈中扮演不可或缺的角色。然而正當臺灣廠商摩拳擦掌、準備快速搶進市場之際，過去較少被關切的資安問題，已然成為各國政府所關注的重點，所以要在未來的5G市場搶得先機，勢必就得先明瞭主要國家對於5G的相關規範。 企業資安應用方面，近年來智慧科技發展迅速，各行各業透過新興智慧科技及數位服務，解決傳統人力、管理效率等經營上的問題已蔚為趨勢，中小企業更紛紛透過人工智慧（Artificial Intelligence, AI）、物聯網（Internet of Things, IoT）、數位服務平台強化自身競爭優

This ground-breaking edited collection draws together Australian historical scholarship on Chinese women, their gendered migrations, and their mobile lives between China and Australia. It considers different aspects of women’s lives, both as individuals and as the wives and daughters of immigrant men. While the number of Chinese women in Australia before 1950 was relatively small, their presence was significant and often subject to public scrutiny. Moving beyond traditional representations of women as hidden and silent, this book demonstrates that Chinese Australian women in the twentieth century expressed themselves in the public eye, whether through writings, in photographs, or in political and cultural life. Their remarkable stories are often inspiring and sometimes tragic and serve to demonstrate the complexities of navigating female lives in the face of racial politics and imposed categories of gender, culture, and class. Historians of transnational Chinese migration have come

The Landscape of Historical Memory explores the place of museums and memorial culture in the contestation over historical memory in post–martial law Taiwan. The book is particularly oriented toward the role of politics—especially political parties—in the establishment, administration, architectural design, and historical narratives of museums. It is framed around the wrangling between the “blue camp” (the Nationalist Party, or KMT, and its supporters) and the “green camp” (Democratic Progressive Party, or DPP, and its supporters) over what facets of the past should be remembered and how they should be displayed in museums. Organized into chapters focused on particular types of museums and memorial spaces (such as archaeology museums, history museums, martyrs’ shrines, war museums, memorial halls, literature museums, ethnology museums, and ecomuseums), the book presents a broad overview of the state of museums in Taiwan in the past three decades. The case of Taiwan museums tells us much

It is impossible to reflect on 2020 without discussing Covid-19. The term, literally meaning corona- (CO) virus (VI) disease (D) of 2019, has become synonymous with “the virus”, “corona” and “the pandemic”. The impact of the virus on our lives is unprecedented in modern human history, in terms of scale, depth and resilience. When compared to other epidemics that have plagued the world in recent decades, Covid-19 is often referred to as being much more “deadly” and is associated with advances in technology which scientists have described as “revolutionary”. From politics to economics, spanning families and continents, Covid-19 has unsettled norms: cultural clashes are intensified, politics are even more polarized, and regional tensions and conflicts are on the rise. Global trade patterns and supply chains are increasingly being questioned and redrawn. The world is being atomized, and individuals are forced to accept the “new normal” in their routines. In an attempt to combat the virus

Empowered by Ancestors: Controversy over the Imperial Temple in Song China (960–1279) examines the enduring tension between cultural authority and political power in imperial China by inquiring into Song ritual debates over the Imperial Temple. During these debates, Song-educated elites utilized various discourses to rectify temple rituals in their own ways. In this process, political interests were less emphasized and even detached from ritual discussions. Meanwhile, Song scholars of particular schools developed various ritual theories that were used to reshape society in later periods. Hence, the Song ritual debates exemplified the great transmission of ancestral ritual norms from the top stratum of imperial court downward to society. In this book, the author attempts to provide a lens through which historians, anthropologists, experts in Chinese Classics, and scholars from other disciplines can explore Chinese ritual in its intellectual, social, and political forms.

Adaptive reuse refers to reusing an old building for a purpose other than which it was originally built or designed. This conservation approach has become increasingly popular around the world. However, there are few publications that focus on its application in Asia. This book fills this gap by looking at both unique and shared aspects of adaptive reuse in three Asian urban centers: Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Singapore. Building on government policy documents and extensive field work, this book contextualizes adaptive reuse in each city and reveals the impetus behind a wide range of projects from revitalization in Hong Kong, commercial development in Shanghai, to community building in Singapore. The introductory chapter sets adaptive reuse within an international perspective, noting salient differences and similarities between Asia and other parts of the world. It also anchors the discussion within a regional perspective, focusing on the similarities and differences between Hong Kong,

Young People and the Belt and Road is a joint effort by over 40 young people across 20 countries to tell their stories about the future of Central and Eastern Europe, China, and the Belt and Road Initiative. In 2013, the Belt and Road Initiative, which envisions a world with better development, better connectivity, and better cooperation was launched in Kazakhstan,. As a global, multi-generational vision, the Belt and Road Initiative will primarily benefit the young people of the world today. To ensure the success of the Initiative, their voices need to be heard. This is particularly urgent as little systematic work has been done to encourage the participation of young people. This publication places the focus on young people and asks them the question: what should the Belt and Road Initiative look like for you? In this book, young authors from 16 Central and Eastern European nations share insights about their countries. For the Belt and Road Initiative, Central and Eastern Europe p

Developmental social work emphasizes interdisciplinary collaborations and believes it can accurately respond to the issues and the needs of our society. Therefore, more and more non-profit organizations are involved in this field. In Taiwan, the recent social issues, such as the poverty of young adults and the Long-term Care, all indicate a need for fresh thoughts and working methods. Responding to this need, “social innovation” has been seen as a way of developmental social work practice. Since 2015, Eden Social Welfare Foundation has collaborated with the Department of Social Work of National Taiwan University to hold three international conferences regarding developmental social work. We published two conference proceedings Developmental Social Work: Theory and Practice and Developmental Social Work: Advancing Policy and Practice.

夏普（Eric John Sharpe, 1933-2000）是二十世紀的宗教史學大師，在宗教現象學、現代基督教宣教史、宗教對話等領域具開拓性的先鋒學者，他的遺作是華人教會既熟悉又陌生的印度基督徒傳記研究：《聖徒孫大聖之謎》（The Riddle of Sadhu Sundar Singh, 2004）。 本書是作者首部的傳記研究，他的寫作進路沒有採取傳統的編年史方法，而是圍繞着艾香德作為傳教士、學者和朝聖者這三重身份進行穿梭研究，突出艾香德在各人生階段的身心靈掙扎，從中更呈現不同時期的人和事，有血有肉地描述了這位非一般的傳教士如何踏上前無古人的宣教新路。從漢語神學角度來看，艾香德和他的中外同工，無疑是漢語神學的先行者。 中譯本相比英文原作補充了大量參考資料，包括引文查證及注釋原著提及的中外人名、地名、事件，並附上珍貴歷史圖片，尤其提供依據挪威文原稿大幅增訂、查證和注解的景風山工作日誌（1922-1930），多角度及全方位呈現艾香德的生涯及事工。

Testimony to the emotional truth of their life together even in these increasingly trying times. The memoir Ordinary Days by the scholar and critic Leo Ou-fan Lee and his wife Esther Yuk-ying Lee brings to this Hong Kong series an intensely personal touch, consciously echoing the great sentimental memoir of 18th-century China, Shen Fu’s Six Chapters of a Floating Life. With disarming candour, Leo and Esther lay bare their hearts so unreservedly, to share with us their story of love and suffering, charting in a series of memorable chapters their shared spiritual quest. This is a brave book. It lays bare in a most unusual way the heart and soul of a charming and highly cultivated Chinese couple, the scholar and critic Leo Ou-fan Lee and his wife Esther Lee Yuk-ying. It charts the love story of two individuals who are no longer young, and it also boldly breaks the taboo surrounding the twin topics of depression and suicide. Set partly against the recent backdrop of some of Hong Kong’s m

It represents one of the finest traditions in Chinese culture: the tradition of creativity, of the freedom of thought, freedom of spirit and freedom of the imagination. These are the characteristics of Hong Kong literature. The Best China, an expression traditionally used to refer to the finest crockery brought out when one is entertaining special guests, has been adapted here to mean the best chinese tradition of free-thinking discursive prose. This anthology of essays from Hong Kong and the diaspora, ranging across the past hundred and seventy years, records the intellectual ferment that has characterized the city since its founding in 1842, sometimes restless and questioning, sometimes meditative and lyrical, buoyed by an all-pervasive and indomitable spirit of freedom.

內容簡介： 1644年，南京一位名叫曹君義的出版商，印製了一幅獨特的世界地圖，他稱之為「天下全圖」。其雖沿襲了某些可上溯宋元時期的中國慣例，卻也借鑒了一幅由奧特柳斯（Ortelius）設計、耶穌會傳教士利瑪竇在南京印製的歐洲版世界地圖。現今在兩個國家圖書館中仍保存了曹君義版地圖：其一在北京，另一在倫敦。本書的兩個章節，原是發表在中央研究院郭廷以學術講座的講稿，每章即是以這兩本曹君義地圖中的一本作為出發點，去重建一段世界地圖的歷史，以此回顧早期的中國和歐洲在繪製世界地圖上的嘗試，並展望中國的世界地圖（如曹君義的版本）對歐洲地圖學的影響。這段歷史表明了：歐洲人仰賴中國人對亞洲的知識，並不亞於中國人倚賴歐洲人對世界的認識。今日我們所知道的世界地圖，正是在這種相互作用下，於焉誕生。 Completing the Map of the World: Cartographic Interaction between China and Europe In 1644, a Nanjing publisher named Cao Junyi printed a unique world map that he called “a complete map of all under Heaven.” He followed certain Chinese conventions going back to the Song and Yuan dynasties, but he also drew on a European map of the world designed by Ortelius and printed in Nanjing by the Jesuit missionary Matteo Ricci. Copies of this map survive today in two national libraries, one in Beijing and the other in London. The two chapters of this book, originally delivered as the Kuo Ting-yee Memorial Lectures at Academic Sinica, each take one of these

In the West, love occupies center stage in the modern age, whether in art, intellectual life, or the economic life. We may observe a similar development in China, on its own impetus, which has resulted in this characteristic of modernity—this feature of modern life has been securely and unambiguously established, not the least facilitated by the thriving of literature about qing, whether in traditional or modern forms. Qiancheng Li concentrates on the nuances of a similar trend manifested in the Chinese context. The emphasis is on critical readings of the texts that have shaped this trend, including important Ming- and Qing-dynasty works of drama, Buddhist texts and other religious/philosophical works, in all their subtlety and evocative power. -------------- The power of qing or strong emotion is a major theme in late imperial Chinese literature—some writers asserting that it can transcend even life itself. Qiancheng Li surveys a number of seventeenth-century philosophical, religio

陷落生命逆境時，我們有找回自在的智慧與勇氣 ★亞馬遜讀者4.6顆星好評 ★達賴喇嘛的首席譯者，圖登‧金巴博士盛讚「這是獻給世界的真誠禮物」 ★一本深刻展現人性關懷力量的暢銷力作！ 瓊恩‧荷里法斯是知名社會活動家、人類學家，也是佛教禪師。數十年來，她與神經科學家、臨床醫生、心理學家合作，運用冥想來改變社會，以慈悲為懷的力量來轉化苦難。 荷里法斯提出五種心理體驗，稱之為「邊緣狀態」：利他、同理心、誠正、尊重、敬業。 這五種邊緣狀態，正是我們性格優點的縮影。唯有站在那些邊緣，我們才能真正敞開自我，接納各種人類體驗，並發現真正的自己。 然而，每一種邊緣狀態，同時是變化無常的險境。立足於邊緣狀態，我們將擁有有更寬廣的人生視野，卻也可能落入難以承受的逆境──利他成了病態利他，同理心因過度融入而變成同理痛苦，誠正促成道德煎熬，尊重因輕蔑無禮而蕩然無存，以及處於高壓有害的職場時，令我們過勞倦怠，失去原有的敬業之心。 面對這些失衡狀態，《站在邊緣之境》正是尋求心靈自在的絕佳指南。本書講述照顧者、修行者、社運人士、人道工作者等的經驗，結合禪宗傳統、正念修行的智慧，以及開創性的「慈悲的ABIDE模式」及「GRACE法」，人人都能受惠，尋得身心靈的堅定無畏。 【國際好評推薦】 醫護等各類助人工作朋友們：我們該如何展現美好人性又不陷入耗竭、能細水長流地把自己跟他人都照顧好？答案就在這本書中。 ──陳德中，台灣正念工坊執行長 過猶不及，其實也適用在利他、同理等特質上。作者探索了這些特質極端化後的危險，並提出一帖解方──慈悲，實為溫柔又強韌之良藥。 ──蘇益賢，臨床心理師 這本書充滿了獨到的智慧、學識與實務經驗，可謂心靈饗宴。 ──艾拉‧碧阿克醫生（Ira Byock），《直視死亡的勇氣》（Dying Well）與《盡善照護》（The Best Care Possible）的作者 《站在邊緣之境》是幫我們度過動盪時代、重新站穩腳跟，了解平衡是我們真實本性的必讀好書。 ──理查．戴維森（Richard J.

Maid to Queer is the first book about Asian female migrant workers who develop same-sex relationships in a host city. Based on participant observation and in-depth interviews with Indonesian domestic workers in Hong Kong, the book explores the meanings of same-sex relationships to these migrant women. Instead of searching for reasons to explain why they engage in a same-sex relationship, this book provides an ethnographic perspective by addressing their Sunday activities and considering how migration policies and the practices of Hong Kong people unintentionally produce alternative sexuality and desires for them. The author contrasts the migrant experiences of same-sex relationships with the Western discourse that individuals carry a strong sense of sexual identification prior to migration; same-sex desires among Indonesian domestic workers are often not realized until they leave home. Addressing the changes from maid to queer, this book documents the intersections of domestic work, la

Sino-French Trade at Canton, 1698–1842 presents a rare and lively view of the French experience at Canton, and calls for a reappraisal of France’s role in that trade. France was one of the two most important Western powers in the eighteenth century, and was home to one of the three major European East India companies. Yet the nation is woefully underrepresented in Canton trade scholarship. Susan E. Schopp rescues the French from the sidelines, showing that they exerted a presence that, though closely watched by their rivals, is today largely unrecognized. Their contributions were diverse, ranging from finding new sea routes to inspiring the renovation of hong façades. Consequently, to ignore the French, or to dismiss them as simply “also-rans,” results in a skewed perception of the Canton system. Schopp also demonstrates that while the most distinctive aspect of the French model of company trade was the dominant role of the state—indeed, the French East India Company has been memorabl
