Focusing on tensions and links between national formation and international outlooks, this talk shows how classical world visions persist as China’s modernizers and revolutionaries adopted and revised the Western nation-state and cosmopolitanism. The concepts of tianxia (all under heaven) and datong (great harmony) have been updated into outlooks of global harmony that value unity, equality, and reciprocity as strategies of overcoming interstate conflict, national divides, and social fragmentation. The talk will delve into two debates: the embrace of the West vs. aspirations for a common world, and the difference between liberal cosmopolitanism and socialist internationalism.

In this CIHK webinar, we will discuss the material conditions of and historical background to the use of Classical Chinese or Literary Sinitic in writing-mediated brush conversation between literati of Sinitic engaged in cross-border communication within Sinographic East Asia or the Sinographic cosmopolis, which corresponds with today’s China, North Korea, South Korea, Japan (including Okinawa, formerly the Ryukyu Kingdom) and Vietnam. Compared with speech as a modality of communication, real-time writing-mediated interaction between talking humans, synchronously face-to-face, seems uncommon. In any society, speaking is premised on one condition: the interlocutors must have at least one shared spoken language at their disposal, but even then, there are circumstances under which speaking is either physically not feasible or socially inappropriate. Could writing function as an alternative modality of communication when speaking is not an option due to the absence of a shared spoken language, as in cross-border communication settings? Whereas real-time writing-mediated face-to-face interaction is rare where a regional lingua franca was known to exist (e.g., Latin and Arabic), there is ample historical evidence of literati of Classical Chinese or Literary Sinitic from different parts of Sinographic East Asia conducting ‘silent conversation’, synchronously and interactively in writing mode using brush, ink, and paper. Such a pattern of writing-assisted interaction is still practiced and observable in pen-assisted conversation – pen-talk – between Chinese and Japanese speakers today, thanks to the pragma-linguistic affordance of morphographic, non-phonographic sinograms (i.e., Chinese characters and Japanese kanji). We will outline the historical spread of Classical Chinese or Sinitic texts from the ‘center’ to the ‘peripheries’, and the historical background to the acquisition of literacy in Sinitic by the people there. Their shared knowledge of Sinitic helps explain why, for well over a thousand years until the 1900s, literati from these places were able to speak their mind by engaging in ‘Sinitic brush-talk’ 漢文筆談 in cross-border communication.

中國戲曲源自新石器時代的巫術儀式,經歷漢代百戲、唐代戲弄和北宋雜劇,在北宋末融匯了多種形式的演出藝術、民歌、文人曲子及多種演唱文類,發展成戲曲鼻祖「南戲」。粵劇是清代地方劇種百花齊放的產品,既保留着近乎巫術儀式的《祭白虎》,也承傳着崑曲牌子、秦腔梆子、徽劇二黃、宋明南戲和元雜劇的劇目,堪稱中國戲曲的縮影。本講座概述當代香港粵劇的傳承狀況和中國戲曲的歷史面貌,從中探討粵劇如何保留和發展傳統戲曲的元素。講座將論及粵劇神功戲的演出、《祭白虎》儀式、戲班結構、行當、劇目題材、唱腔特點和傳承。

清朝皇族婚入女子的財產權受到法律保障,但是皇族女子的財產權則缺乏法律保障,分產的機會也相對稀少。清朝公主出嫁後對於其陪嫁的人丁、動產與不動產並未擁有完整的所有權,僅擁有占有權、使用權與收益權,而不具備轉讓或出售的處分權,其後代對其亦無繼承權。本文以清代滿洲公主的陪嫁莊頭與壯丁為例,運用清代滿蒙漢文檔案材料和官書典籍,輔以其他二手研究文獻,以出嫁蒙古王公之清朝公主的收支為核心,並聚焦於其妝奩上,探討其財產的所有權、管理機制與公主薨逝後的轉讓情況。最後透過研究公主在崇奉藏傳佛教上的花費,說明清朝公主如何在清朝治理蒙古的政策中起到重要作用。
