    Extractions: Jiujiang is an old city dating back over 2000 years. It is an important foreign trade port on the southern bank of the Changjiang River in the northern part of Jiangxi Province. In the past Jiujiang was known as one of the four biggest rice markets and one of the three biggest tea markets in China. Now it serves as the northern gateway of Jiangxi Province. To the east of the city is the Shizhong (Stone Bell) Mountain at the confluence of the Changjing River and the Boyang Lake. Large rocks of unusual shapes are scattered all over the mountain, and numerous caves are located in the lower reaches. Whenever the winds rice, waves surge over the rocks, producing a sonorous sound which located people liken to the ringing of a huge bell, from which the mountain gets its name. The Boyang Lake is the largest freshwater lake in China. The lake provides favorable conditions for migratory birds to the winter, and about 1300 white cranes regularly in winter there. Bird-watering centers have been set up in Wucheng Town of Yongxiu County. The Dragon-Palace Karst Cave in Pengze County is 2700 meters long. Often called an "underground palace of natural art". it is full of stalactites and stalagmites of varying sizes and interesting shapes. Jiujiang was the hometown of Tao Yuanming (365-421), an outstanding writer and pastoral poet of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. A temple to Tao Yuanming, his memorial hall and his tomb are well preserved. In the city proper are many places of historic interest, such as Yanshui (Waterfront) Pavilion and Nengren Temple.

    Extractions: Gui Qu Lai Ci This earliest occurrence of a popular qin melody is clearly identifiable with the one played today, though there are quite a few differences and the modern one is not sung. Versions survive in at least 29 handbooks to 1961, with most including, with slight variations, the same lyrics. However, I don't know of any recordings in which the lyrics are actually sung. The home to which Tao Jian (Tao Yuanming, 365-427) has returned is in Chaisang (Mulberry Firewood), an old name for Jiujiang, on the south bank of the Yangzi river in Jiangxi province. Original preface (translation not finalized) These lyrics were written by the Jin dynasty retired scholar Tao Jian. When Jian was magistrate of Pengce (30 miles from his home) a censor was sent to his district by the provincial government, and (Tao Jian) was required to meet him, a vain military official, in appropriate garb meet him. Jian said, "I cannot, for five pecks of rice, bow at the waist." The same day he returned his seal of office and returned home. Writing these lyrics and broadcasting them as a string song causes people to be clear and stern. A thousand years later it can still arouse people's interest.

This seminar will consider the role of gender in Chinese painting, focusing on the Song and Yuan dynasties (spanning the tenth to fourteenth centuries). Topics will include the setting of figure paintings in gendered space, the coding of landscapes and bird-and-flower paintings as masculine or feminine, and ways that images of women (an often marginalized genre of Chinese art) help to construct ideas of both femininity and masculinity. Throughout, we will examine the differing roles of men and women as patrons, collectors, and painters. The course is cross-listed with Asian Studies and Women's Studies Textbooks:

Reaching the source, he comes to a narrow opening at the base of a mountain. Leaving his boat aside and crawling through the dark, narrow passageway for several paces, the scene suddenly opens up: "...onto a broad and level plain where well-built houses were surrounded by rich fields and pretty ponds. Mulberry, bamboo and other trees and plants grew there, and crisscross paths skirted the fields. The sounds of cocks crowing and dogs barking could be heard from one courtyard to the next. Men and women were coming and going about their work in the fields. The clothes they wore were like those of foreigners . Old men and boys were carefree and happy." (Hightower) The people in this place, first surprised by the fisherman's presence, invite him into their homes and offer him food and drink. They tell him that after the rise of the first emperor, Qin Shihuangdi, in 221 B.C. and the unification of all under heaven, they left their homes and travelled to this place, hidden from the world for countless generations, in peaceful harmony, unaware of the changing dynasties and the constant warfare that marked the age during which Tao Qian lived.

If your computer is not set up to read BIG5 encoding, the Chinese will appear as garbage characters. Peach Blossom Shangri-la (Tao Hua Yuan Ji) By Tao Yuanming [1] During the Taiyuan era [2] of the Jin Dynasty [3] there was a man of Wuling [4] who made his living as a fisherman. Once while following a stream he forgot how far he had gone. He suddenly came to a grove of blossoming peach trees. It lined both banks for several hundred paces and included not a single other kind of tree. Petals of the dazzling and fragrant blossoms were falling everywhere in profusion. Thinking this place highly unusual, the fisherman advanced once again in wanting to see how far it went. The peach trees stopped at the stream's source, where the fisherman came to a mountain with a small opening through which it seemed he could see light. Leaving his boat, he entered the opening. At first it was so narrow that he could barely pass, but after advancing a short distance it suddenly opened up to reveal a broad, flat area with imposing houses, good fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees, bamboo, and the like. The fisherman saw paths extending among the fields in all directions, and could hear the sounds of chickens and dogs. Men and women working in the fields all wore clothing that looked like that of foreign lands. The elderly and children all seemed to be happy and enjoying themselves. The people were amazed to see the fisherman, and they asked him from where he had come. He told them in detail, then the people invited him to their home, set out wine, butchered a chicken [5], and prepared a meal. Other villagers heard about the fisherman, and they all came to ask him questions. Then the villagers told him, "To avoid the chaos of war during the Qin Dynasty [6], our ancestors brought their families and villagers to this isolated place and never left it, so we've had no contact with the outside world." They asked the fisherman what the present reign was. They were not even aware of the Han Dynasty [7], let alone the Wei [8] and Jin. The fisherman told them everything he knew in great detail, and the villagers were amazed and heaved sighs. Then other villagers also invited the fisherman to their homes, where they gave him food and drink. After several days there, the fisherman bid farewell, at which time some villagers told him, "It's not worth telling people on the outside about us." [9] The fisherman exited through the opening, found his boat, and retraced his route while leaving markers to find this place again. Upon his arrival at the prefecture town he went to the prefect and told him what had happened. The prefect immediately sent a person to follow the fisherman and look for the trail markers, but they got lost and never found the way. Liu Ziji [10] of Nanyang [11] was a person of noble character. When he heard this story he was happy and planned to visit the Shangri-la, but he died of illness before he could accomplish it. After that no one else ever looked for the place.
