Master Nan’s teachings are packed with pith instructions, both the do’s and don’ts, for success in practice.

Readers will discover the Buddha’s insights on the importance of kindness, right speech, right actions, and community living that remain profoundly relevant to our lives today. Each story concludes with “Words of Wisdom” that connect ancient guidance to contemporary challenges.

Initiatives such as “Reconstruction 798” spurred the development of the art district, creating a public, market-driven hub of contemporary art that reached its zenith around the time of 2008 Beijing Olympics. This book documents 798’s remarkable pioneering decade between 2002 and 2012, capturing the art district’s heyday, as well as its subsequent decl

Employing a big history perspective, Hsu reconstructs the dynamic interplay of diverse ethnic groups and cultures within and beyond China, highlighting the constant friction and fusion that shaped its trajectory.This insightful work reveals why Chinese civilization has endured despite numerous internal and external hardships and turmoils. It offers a nuanced and thought-provoking perspective on China’s past and its relevance to the present. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

台灣推理小説的發展，具有與台灣文學史相同共存的現代性特質。台灣的推理小説，從日治時期開始至今，不論是理論或創作，都深受日本的影響，尤其是關於「本格」的探索。關於台灣推理小説的發展和流派，陳國偉教授屢有論述。為這一專輯而寫的導言，簡要概述之外，推陳出新，提出台灣推理小説作爲「文學現代性的起點」的新觀點，將上世紀六〇年代台灣現代主義風潮，提前到日治時期引進偵探小説的19世紀後半，當台灣第一部偵探小説於1898年1月7日首次出現之時。The development of Taiwan’s mystery novels shares modernist characteristics and co-exists with the mainstream history of Tai-wan literature. Taiwan’s mystery novels, from the Japanese colonial period to the present, have been deeply influenced by Japan, both in theory and creation, especially in the exploration of so-called “original style.” Professor Kuo-wei Chen has discussed the development and genre of mystery novels in Taiwan in different fora. The introduction written for this issue, in addition to including a brief overview, breaks new ground and puts forward a new perspective on Taiwanese mystery novels as “the starting point of literary modernity.” He argues that the origins of Taiwanese modernism should be found not in the 1960s but with the introduction of detect
