藝文產業長期為非高汙染的產業，台灣的藝文產業過去也甚少將環境意識帶入藝文生態的系統做檢視。但台灣近年從尼可拉斯．布西歐（Nicolas Bourriaud）於「2014台北雙年展」所提出的「人類世」（Anthropocene）概念，到2018年台北雙年展的「後自然：美術館作為一個生態系統」展題，再到2020 台北雙年展的「你我不住在同一星球上」，已經帶出一條透過展覽，檢視藝術生態系統的嘗試，環境、生態與永續意識已經成為一更普遍的思考。然而除了具有「意識」，國際間的藝文生態皆以更具體的方式回應SDGs的發展目標。包括2020年於倫敦成立的「畫廊氣候聯盟」（Gallery Climate Coalition），目標於2030年至少減少聯盟成員50% 的碳排放，目前該聯盟已有超過百餘家畫廊、藝術家與收藏家參與，積極向國際畫廊推廣，將氣候變遷議題納入營運策略。本專題透過不同案例理解國際博物館、畫廊產業、藝術與科學合作、影視產業的永續機構與相關政策，回看台灣藝文產業如何在具體的參照與指引下思考產業永續發展的可能。（企劃／張玉音）

In the early twentieth century, oil painting as a non-indigenous medium began to be taught in Chinese art academies. Since that time, it has become an important and increasingly popular portal, inviting artists to explore cross-cultural dynamics and experiment with individual creative expression. This selection of twentieth-century Chinese oil paintings from the UMAG collection sheds light on the art historical and cultural significance of the medium. Highlighting the versatile aspects of Chinese oil paintings across a diverse spectrum of themes, styles, techniques, time periods, and regional and local characteristics, this publication presents the depth and virtuosity of Chinese oil paintings, extending from intimate interior views to panoramic coastal landscapes. The collective and individual memories within urban scenes activate dialogues of painting practices across time, space, and cross-cultural and cross-media encounters. The selected works display and represent the various ar

嘉戎語為分佈於中國境內之漢藏語系語言，因擁有複雜的形態和語音結構為國際語言學界所知。本書以自發性口述材料為基礎，結合前沿韻律及語法研究理論，呈現嘉戎語如何將自然語流劃分出基本韻律單元，並且就這些單元的語法構造進行分析。研究發現，嘉戎語的詞韻律系統是一種降調與零聲調相對的缺性聲調系統；在此基礎上本研究進一步探討此聲調系統如何與其他音系特徵合作構建出語調的輪廓。與此同時，每一個韻律單元都就語法結構進行標記，以辨析此語言之首選結構類型。本書所呈現的研究，是漢藏語系語言學目前以即時自然語流為材料，針對韻律與語法性質最全面的研究；在世界語言的研究中，也是對缺性聲調對語調作用的探討也是首次。

在马来亚走向独立的关键年代，李孝式不仅是政治舞台上的重要推手，更是商业与社会领域里独具眼光的开创者。 本书以图文并茂的方式，追溯他鲜为人知的足迹——从个人的奋斗与抉择，到家族企业跨越三代的延续与转型。透过这些叙事，我们得以重新思考：华人社会如何在历史的激流中，与国家的命运紧密交织，共同塑造了今日马来西亚。 In the pivotal years of Malaya’s journey to independence, Lee Hau Shik emerged not only as a key political figure but also as a visionary in the realms of business and society. This richly illustrated book retraces the lesser-known paths of his life—from personal struggles and defining choices to the endurance and transformation of a family enterprise across three generations. Through these narratives, readers are invited to reconsider how the Chinese community, navigating the tides of history, became entwined with the nation’s destiny in shaping modern Malaysia.

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

This work offers the most comprehensive account of the origin and consequences of the Yan’an Rectification Movement from 1942 to 1945. The author argues that this campaign emancipated the Chinese Communist Party from Soviet-influenced dogmatism and unified the Party, preparing it for the final victory against the Nationalist Party in 1949. More importantly, this monograph shows in great detail how Mao Zedong established his leadership through this party-wide political movement by means of aggressive intraparty purges, thought control, coercive cadre examinations, and total reorganizations of the Party’s upper structure. The result of this movement not only set up the foundation for Mao’s new China, but also deeply influenced the Chinese political structure today. The Chinese version of How the Red Sun Rose was published in 2000, and has had twenty-two printings since then. ~~~~~~ “This lucid translation of Gao Hua’s seminal study of the Yan’an rectification movement and the rise of

◎This is the Part-One (Radical Index - Stroke No. 1-2) of Twelve printouts from the on-line dictionary that is currently under developing. ◎This unprecedented, intelligent, convenient and useful Tool provides “Pin Yin” (spelled in English) of Traditional Chinese characters. ◎Along with Stroke-by-Stroke writings for each character’s Radical and additional strokes, it is possible to learn Chinese ubiquitously. The stroke-sequences for writing radical-characters are also included in a separate nineteen-page section with the order of radical stroke number and sequence. All the multiple ways of “Pin Yin” will also appear under multiple English letters. However, an unique sort key for the Last Name found in 百家姓 (the Hundred Family Surnames) is highlighted and used for grouping the same Last Name in Traditional Character with different Last Name in English. For example, 鄭 can be found as Cheng, Jeng and Zheng in all 3 places with Cheng marked as sort-key. Therefore, all 鄭s will be grouped u

Lens on China: Intermediate and Advanced Readings on Film for Learning Chinese is an innovative textbook that uses film to teach Mandarin Chinese. It not only provides students with a non-traditional way to learn Chinese by combining visual and textual materials, but also creates real, sociocultural and linguistic situations where students can use their acquired skills. Each lesson of the textbook focuses on one film in a highly engaging and effective way of learning. Each lesson comes with a comprehensive vocabulary list, detailed grammar explanations, and exercises in various forms. Such a design ensures a balance between basic language training in vocabulary and grammatical structure, and more advanced goals in interactive communication and in-depth reflection. Ten films are chosen to help the student achieve sociocultural knowledge that will deepen their understanding of contemporary China. Half of the films selected are light-hearted works on youth, love, and aspirations, with d

「我讀了許多探討『論斷』的文章與書籍，但沒有任何論述可與沙品敦博士這本簡潔、證據充足，且《聖經》觀點不偏不倚的著作相比。若我們能將本書列出的應用步驟付諸實行，就能更完美的在服事上裝備自己，使神國有所進展。」 ─克里斯．海沃德（Chris Hayward）牧師 清泉事工（Cleansing Stream Ministries）主席 不合神心意的論斷可能極具毀滅性，而且影響深遠。本書獨特之處，在於涵蓋了一個《聖經》雖曾廣泛提及，卻鮮少著作討論的重要主題：沒有什麼比習於論斷的人更讓人感覺無禮、更容易引起爭端的了。 《聖經》關於不合神心意之論斷的教導，是教會的健康與成長不可或缺的要素。在基督裡邁向自由與成熟的關鍵性步驟，就是為我們對神、自己與他人所作不合神心意的論斷悔改，並砍斷這些盤踞在我們生命中的論斷權勢。論斷他人與耶穌教導的基本原則，以及祂門徒的教導不符是無庸置疑的。 本書有助於： 1. 想修復因論斷的影響而關係受損的人。 2. 辨別在我們與他人的關係中，何時是適當的洞察，何時是論斷他們。 3. 希望自己相信的是絕對真理，並在某個議題上採取特定立場，但不想以負面方式「論斷」他人的基督徒。 4. 需要處理個案內在誓言、論斷習性及根源的教牧輔導人員。比如，探索論斷的種子如何散播在孩子的心裡。 5. 身兼輔導之職，想避免因論斷產生分歧的教會領袖。 6. 識別不合神心意的論斷所結出的果實。

This publication, and the accompanying exhibition, presents the vital contributions of two of Japan's most remarkable artists, Kurosaki Akira and Nakabayashi Tadayoshi, who participated in and influenced the twentieth-century renaissance of printmaking in Japan. This cultural phenomenon grew as the artists underwent rigorous training while maintaining a robust interest in traditional printing methods, such as the world-renowned woodblock technique. Coupled with their innovative experimentation, the two printers spearheaded a revival that expanded upon established printing techniques. The unusual juxtaposition of two contemporary artists emphasises both Kurosaki and Nakabayashi's masterpieces and their individual contributions to the ongoing development of Japanese printmaking. This pairing also highlights the distinctiveness, cultural relevance and novelty of their work. Both born in 1937 and similarly trained, Kurosaki and Nakabayashi pursued different topics and employed distinctive

The University Museum and Art Gallery (UMAG) of the University of Hong Kong presents the Chinese painting exhibition Tradition to Contemporary: Ink Painting and Artistic Development in 20th-century China. The exhibition is curated from artworks within the museum’s permanent collection. Works trace the evolution of ink painting in Hong Kong, and include many of the masters that have helped to build the city’s art scene and museum collections. The exhibition and its associated catalogue offers audiences a broad overview of the provenance and aesthetic quality of individual works, and the cultural interactions among twentieth-century Chinese artists, curators, collectors and scholars in Hong Kong, mainland China and abroad. It makes reference to individuals and their networks, to teacher-student relationships and to the generosity of the numerous painters who have helped UMAG to grow the museum’s holdings, and whose work constitutes the foundation of UMAG’s educational work today.

Mindfulness and meditation, practices that are rooted in Buddhism, have become mainstream treatments in counseling and psychotherapy that provide evidence of successful outcomes among secular clients. However, for clients from non-Western backgrounds, dissociating mindfulness practice from the core Buddhist teachings can dilute the transformative power of these practices, causing cultural confusion and lowering the effectiveness of treatment. This book is the first to present Early Buddhist Teachings as a theoretical orientation for the millions of individuals affiliated with Buddhism to create a culturally congruent counseling model. Using original sources in Pāli, it explores key Buddhist concepts such as dependent co-arising, non-self, impermanence, and many others. The authors then compare them with Western psychological concepts, furthering ongoing dialogue between Buddhism and psychotherapy and fostering powerful integrations. This volume also demonstrates how to use the Buddhi

簡介 Oneness, coexistence, and nature are the fundamental phenomena of all living beings, while joy, harmony, respect, tolerance, equality, and peace are the essential guidelines for interpersonal relationships. Therefore, it is fair to say that one truth for all and to resolve and to develop are keys to the advancement of our society. When everyone has self-awareness and resolve to practice the Buddha’s Way, change the world, and benefit humanity, then the state of “Wholeness and Freeness” can be attained through benefiting oneself and others. 目次 ●Foreword / One Theme, One Concept ●Joy and Harmony ●Oneness and Coexistence ●Respect and Tolerance ●Equality and Peace ●Wholeness and Freeness ●Nature and Life ●One Truth for All ●The Human World and Life ●To Resolve and To Develop ●Self-awareness and Practicing the Buddha's Way ●Change the World and Benefit Humanity ●Bodhisattva and Volunteer ●Environmental and Spiritual Preservation ●Happiness and Peace ●Faith and Legacy ●Wisdom and Innovat

Eclectic and experimental in style this poetry collection and its stylistic range reflects the diversity of research in the field of medicine. The topics examined range from health economics and specific diseases to biological mechanisms and technology platforms used in research. Some also provide a lens to the feelings and pressures of patients and doctors, whilst others delve into the workings of the mind. Several have layers and patterns for the reader to discover as an allusion to the process of research itself. It starts with the key to successful research—collaboration and fellowship and ends on a reflection of humanity and the humbling of mankind gained through service to others. As such the collection epitomizes the path that transforms passion into perfection and enshrines the drive of the Faculty of Medicine at The Chinese University of Hong Kong to gain and apply knowledge and understanding for the benefit of all.

In A New Documentary History of Hong Kong, 1945–1997, Florence Mok, Fung Chi Keung Charles, and other contributors analyse newly released archival records from the National Archives in London, the Government Records Service in Hong Kong, and other sources across the world. This documentary collection provides an updated and improved understanding of basic aspects of the city such as governance, economy, society, and culture. It also aims at investigating topics that are under-exploited in previous sourcebooks, such as race and diasporas, gender and familial relations, medicine and healthcare, and environment and natural disasters. Overall, this book offers an innovative and comprehensive long-term perspective of Hong Kong’s colonial history.

Chinese planters,farmers and labors have left an indelible imprint on Malaysia's agricultural economy.With great effort and creativity,they opened jungles,converted disused mining land,and transformed the wilderness into rich farms and plantations that grew every crop of economic and social importance.Complementing their efforts,Chinese traders,industrialists and researchers linked agricultural to commerce and agro-based industry.In the process,the Chinese agriculturist and their trading and manufacturing counterparts made valuable contributions not only to national but world development. This book covers all areas of their pursuits,from lowland rice planting to highland flower farming,from small vegetable gardens to large rubber and oil palm plantations,and from trading to downstream agro-based activities.The book combines historical information with original insights from personal interviews to produce a captivating 200-year chronicle of the lives and work of generations of Chinese w

In this book, I trace the winding paths of my life: the fragile beginnings of childhood, the shaping of character and personality, the search for health and wholeness, the awakening of faith, the long seasons of formation, the call to consecrated life and priesthood, and the outward journeys of mission and ministry. Alongside the joys, I speak also of the shadows—the doubts and struggles, the inner conflicts and external storms that tested my roots. I share how I learned to make peace with what I could not change, and to integrate what once felt broken into something whole. Woven through these stories are the theoretical voices of philosophy, psychology, anthropology, theology, missiology and spirituality—threads of wisdom that helped me make sense of my experience, and that my experience, in turn, has made more real and whole. The narrative takes root in a landscape of critical reflection and scholarly inquiry, making the personal and the academic converse with each other—experience b

Leung Ping Kwan is one of Hong Kong’s most acclaimed poets. His poems display a unique blend of the literary and the down-to-earth, of the modern and the traditional, of the serious and the humorous, of the local and the universal. In his own words, ‘I want my poems about things to be a dialogue with the world, to learn and be inspired by the shapes, smells and colours of things….’ This collection has been carefully curated, and is arranged under ten thematic sections: Lotus Leaves, Hong Kong, Macao, Foodscape, After the Book of Songs, Strange Tales: After Pu Songling, Clothink, Museum Pieces, Places and Friends, and Bitter-Melon and Others. These translated poems, and the delight they bring, are a celebration of the continuing legacy of a remarkable Hong Kong poet.

The first of its kind, this book presents a comprehensive collection of leading patent cases from nine major Asian jurisdictions which are analyzed by eminent scholars and legal practitioners from Asia, Germany, and the United States. It contains thirty case reports covering six topics which best reflect the current trends in Asia in patent law, namely specialized IP court (or division), compulsory licensing, the intersection between patent law and competition law, injunction, damages, and choice of jurisdiction and law in cross-border patent litigation. Each case report explores a landmark case by deconstructing the legal background and the legal reasoning of the decisions, and then discussing the commercial and/or industrial ramifications. The present volume is a useful guide for practitioners, lawyers, and judges alike, a primer for students and businessmen entering the IP world, and a reminder for policymakers, both within Asia and further afield.
