After the conference & day trip, it was time for meetings. We did plenty! I took part in delegation meetings with #AcademiaSinica and #NTU (National Taiwan Univ.), but there were many more. We learned about exchange opportunities, memoranda were signed, and we presented each others' research priorities and focus areas, and found lots of overlap! #Biodiversity #WorldLiterature #Sinology #DigitalHumanities #ArtifcialIntelligence #NaturalLanguageProcessing, to name just a few. #tcdh #UTrier

After the recent #DSM update to 7.2.1-69057 Update 7, my #HomeAssistant server could no longer mount the #NFS share I use to #backup the HA configuration to my #Sinology #NAS. It got a permission denied (error 13).
I found that I had to enable "Allow connections from non-privileged ports" for the NFS share so that the mount would succeed again.
Why is such a breaking change not mentioned in the Synology update notice? #WTF

here is my fundamental disagreement with fraser. i think he is right in his claims about the details of textual formation, at least in broad outline. but i do not think this interpretive conclusion follows *at all* #sinology
-
so yeah: I don't understand why evidence of independent circulation should be taken as evidence of not-yet-incorporation. but i'm also not at all an expert on this sort of textual history, so maybe i am missing something. am i? #sinology
-
it is easy to imagine someone who had access to a Zz corpus that included the robber zhi story copying out that specific passage independently of the rest (it's a striking passage!), and then it circulating independently. this seems to equally well explain the zhangjiashan materials #sinology
-
discussing the textual formation of the zhuangzi, chris fraser notes that the robber zhi story (ch. 29) was circulating independently of the zhuangzi in the early han (167 B.C.E.), and takes this as evidence that the story was added to the zhuangzi material later. my question is: why? #sinology
-
the very mechanisms he discusses for how textual formations could accrue over time—the copying and recopying of texts that could change what other texts they were joined with—is just as capable of extracting pieces of larger texts as it is of joining smaller texts together #sinology

@ReadingFaithfully_org The last section reminds me of the famous section of the 大學 _dà xué_ [Great Learning] in which personal cultivation ultimately leads to a well-governed state.

👉 In this week's #DigitalHistoryOFK Shih-Pei Chen (MPIWG) demonstrates how computational methods can open up new perspectives on historical questions by providing insights into research projects analyzing digitized Chinese local gazetteers and riyong leishu, encyclopedias for daily use published since the late 16th century.

One minor thing that bothered me was that the otherwise very expansive piece on the #CCP #dictatorship didn't include even a single passing mention of #Tibetans, #Uighurs or #SouthMongolians facing #genocide in "Xi Jinping's China". I'd say those present a rather notable ethical dilemma for academic PRC engagers right there, but what do I know... 🤷🏻♂️
(the only references to so-called ethnic minorities were: “70 cases of dissent by Tibetans and Mongolians.” and “ ...the anti-foreign protests surrounding reports on the uprising in Tibetan China in the Western press”)
In a way that is quite enlightening of the fact that sinologists are practically by definition preoccupied with the already-siniziced 'Han' Chinese subjects while their colonial victims aren't considered actually Chinese(!). Ordinarily the CCP would be foaming at the mouth at such 'distortion of historical facts', but, with irony sometimes self-immolating right on cue, the Party seems quite at peace with the lack of spotlight on its #lebensraum activities...
One might also add that the Chinese peoples (plural!) are facing their own potentially irreversible cultural genocide in the form of CCP's thirdreich-esque "One Language" drive (see: ein volk ein reich ein führer) where the party-neutered and ideogram-simplified version of Pekingese shall replace *all* of the native languages across the empire. Only a century ago all 'regions' in the empire had their own languages (naturally) and only those with special needs would acquire 'mandarin' from, well, some mandarin...
They are *not* dialects of some mythical 'chinese' any more than the variety of Indo-European languages would be mere dialects of some mythical 'european', or god forbid 'aryan' uber tongue.

🔥📜☭ 🇨🇳 ★ A highly recommended recapping of personal account and insightful advice for the current batch of sinologists from someone who's seen and experienced most if it, Geremie R. Barmé 👇
Thanks to livelihoods and eventually whole identities being dependent on 'playing ball' (i.e. collaboration and collusion) with the CCP party-state apparatus, the sinologist contingent were always going to pay by providing cover and excuses for the never-ending (un-critical!) engagement and appeasement, logically considered to be necessary for the ultimate prize: business.
Some sinologists had the nous and moral compass to try and minimize the corruptive aspects of the engagements aiding the party-state.
Most I believe took the easiest and most lucrative road and became useful tools for the machine that fed them. This ranged from learning to withhold criticism of the Party to becoming a shameless firebrand promoting CCP ideology no matter how deranged. (case in point: the so-called "peaceful liberation" of #Tibet by the Chinese communist party's army oxymoronically named the 'PLA').
The china-trained sinologist army was then recruited as academic advisers for foreign ministries across the globe, speading their gospel of the necessity of (uncritical!) engagement and appeasement over the decades. Thanks to this decades long normalization of dictatorship many people are now shocked (!) when exposed to harsh critical evaluation of the uncritical #appeasement era. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I recently compiled an annotated #bibliography of #Buddhist #Poetry of #China" with @jasonprotass for Oxford Bibliographies Online. It features a field-defining introductory essay plus 31 other small essays introducing various topics. A good place to start exploring #Chinese Buddhist Poetry.

attn #Sinology and/or #ChineseHistory homies: A few years ago I scanned and OCR'd Hok-lam Chan's "Legends of the Building of Old Peking." I lost the PDF for it to a ransomware attack earlier this year, along with the rest of my library, but am pretty sure I shared the file with people before then.
Asking here just in case anybody ended up with a copy -- the filename would probably have been "chan2008legends.pdf" in the naming system I used at the time. Anyone? -

I’m a scholar of medieval (mainly ~200~1000 CE) Chinese literature and religion at UC Santa Barbara, and have side interests in digital humanities, translation, and world literature. I’ve written a lot about Buddhist poetry in the Tang Dynasty. I also teach Classical Chinese and a bunch of other things here.
