Superb Chinese
Chow Yun Fat ... National hero should be?
I mean, for the Chinese people, as Stallone "Rocky" was (some) we Americans? Played in many excellent martial arts / historical films, especially "Once Upon a Time in China series and subsequent Martial Arts Movies, here and in China. It is much more fresh and welcoming Stallone! Why should not a statue ... I do not think he is getting old or "brain damage" as the series of "Rocky" the last word on the second? " It has also been able to make the transition to incorporate a large number of Western films, not bombs, unlike Stallone! The guy just ROCKS!
I love his movies .. great actor.

Chinese Calligraphy
$17.98 This is the classic introduction to Chinese calligraphy. In nine richly illustrated chapters Chiang Yee explores the aesthetics and the technique of this art in which rhythm, line, and structure are perfectly embodied. He measures the slow change from pictograph to stroke to the style and shape of written characters by the great calligraphers. Speech and writing are two organs of the same human impulse--the conveyance of thought: the one operating through hearing, the other through sight; the one by sound from mouth to ear, the other by form or image from hand to eye. But each can do something besides convey thought. Spoken words can be so arranged as to discharge aesthetic "musical" significances, as in much Western poetry. Written words can be formed to liberate visual beauties; and it is these which form the subject of this book. In addition to aesthetic considerations, the text deals with such more practical subjects as the origin and construction of the Chinese characters, styles, technique, strokes, composition, training, and the relations between calligraphy and other forms of Chinese art. For the third edition the author has added two new chapters: "Calligraphy and Painting" discusses the dependence of Chinese painting on calligraphic training and techniques; "Aesthetic Principles" explores the fundamental concepts underlying every Chinese art form. Chinese Calligraphy is a superb appreciation of beauty in the movement of strokes and in the patterns of structure--and an inspiration to amateurs as well as professionals interested in the decorative arts. |

Chinese Mythology
$28.48 "We must all thank Professor Birrell for providing an incredibly bountiful source, containing all manner of practical and fascinating information within its framework of myths. This book should find many uses and readers -- it is a superb resource for teaching about Chinese myth, literature, history, religion, culture, and thought." -- Suzanne Cahill, The Journal of Asian StudiesIn Chinese Mythology, Anne Birrell provides English translations of some 300 representative myth narratives selected from over 100 classical texts, many of which have never before been translated into any Western language. Organizing the narratives according to themes and motifs common to world mythology, Birrell addresses issues of source, dating, attribution, textural variants, multiforms, and context. Drawing on exhaustive work in comparative mythology, she surveys the development of Chinese myth studies, summarizes the contribution of Chinese and Japanese scholars to the study of Chinese myth since the 1920s, and examines special aspects of traditional approaches to Chinese myth. The result is an unprecedented guide to the study of Chinese myth for specialists and nonspecialists alike."Goes far beyond anything in or out of print on this subject. Nothing remotely of this stimulating nature and high quality exists in English. It will be very much sought after by sinologists, but especially by non-sinologist comparativists. Birrell has singlehandedly saved the scholarly world at least a decade in its attempts to come to grips with this fragmented, refractory body of narratives... [A] marvelous work of humanistic scholarship." -- Victor H. Mair, University of Pennsylvania"The first serious and comprehensive introduction to Chinese mythology aimed at both the specialist and general reader. It is splendidly organized with well-chosen texts, lucid commentary, and useful supplementary matter... Sets new standards in the presentation of Chinese mythology." -- Asian Affairs"One can safely expect to see this volume in all libraries that serve educated general readers as well as even the most modest academic libraries. Anne Birrell is to be congratulated for bringing this arcane subject matter into the grasp of a wide variety of readers outside the China-studies area." -- Robert E. Hegel, Chinese Literature: Essays, Articles, Reviews |

Chinese Textiles
$34.62 This book celebrates the beauty of Chinese textiles, drawing on the Victoria and Albert Museums' fine and largely unpublished collection. It tells the overlapping stories of their making and the material culture in which Chinese Textiles uses both historical and modern pieces from world-renowned V&A collection to explore and discuss their making and meaning. The works feature images from Chinese legends as well as the hydrodams of the communist era. Breathtaking in workmanship, color, and design, they were made for a purpose. Those created for celebration dominate this book. Many pieces were made for birthdays and weddings, the latter providing occasions for splendid robes, palanquin hangings, quilts, and bed curtains: several bear pictures of a hundred boys expressing the fervent with for sons to carry on the family line. The Chinese reverence for age gives birthdays as added significance and inspired scenes of filial piety on scrolls and silk wall panels. As well as dealing with the techniques and influences author Verity Wilson tells the story of each piece - why it was made and for whom - and introduces a galaxy of characters from China's history and legend. The superb photography allows us to view these intricate textiles to full advantage. |

This controversial question has sparked off a never-ending process of image-making in Chinese and Chinese-speaking communities throughout the twentieth century. This introduction to Chinese national cinema, written by a leading scholar, covers three Chinas: mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. It traces the formation, negotiation and problematization of the national on the Chinese screen over ninety years. Historical and comparative perspectives bring out the parallel developments in the three Chinas, while critical analysis explores thematic and stylistic changes over time.brAs well as exploring artistic achievements and ideological debates, Chinese National Cinema also emphasizes industry research and market analysis.

Chinese-Soviet Relations, 1937-1945: The Diplomacy of Chinese National
$71.06 During the Sino-Japanese war of 1937-1945, the Chinese people suffered great degradation at the hands of the Japanese. The spectacle of China's debasement as well as the very real prospect of the restoration of alien rule incensed nationalist passions throughout China. As the military, economic, and political crises deepened, three different Chinese regimes emerged--the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Chinese Nationalist Party oremKuomintang/em(KMT), and the pro-Japanese government headed by Wang Jingwei--all competing for nationalist legitimacy. Through an exhaustive and meticulous examination of available resources, John Garver here illuminates the complicated relationship between these different variants in Chinese nationalism and the Soviet Union during this period. In doing so, Garver elucidates the diplomacy of Chiang Kai-shek and the Chinese Nationalists, the inner history of Chinese Communist relations with the Soviet Union, and the intersection of these two themes within the larger context of international relations in East Asia and the world.brWith this important work, John W. Garver...has filled a fifty-year gap in the literature on foreign relations during the Second World War....As the first author, writing in English, who has extensively worked with Chinese sources, Garver brings a fresh perspective to the historical study of the war-time relations between the Chinese and the Russians. The book will be must reading for professional historians and students of diplomacy.--emHistory: Reviews of New Books/embrA superb study on a subject of unusual importance.--emJournal of Asian Studies/embrDeserves high praise for originality and scholarly impartiality....Garver weaves the tale masterfully....Garver has opened wide a window to the West on the internal maze of modern Chinese politics and diplomacy.--emThe Historian/embrHighly recommended to anyone with an interest in twentieth-century Chinese history.--emJournal of Interna@QÃ×=p¤ÿ¾Úx |

Chinese American Voices
$25.48 Described by others as quaint and exotic, or as depraved and threatening, and, more recently, as successful and exemplary, the Chinese in America have rarely been asked to describe themselves in their own words. This superb anthology, a diverse and illuminating collection of primary documents and stories by Chinese Americans, provides an intimate and textured history of the Chinese in America from their arrival during the California Gold Rush to the present. Among the documents are letters, speeches, testimonies, oral histories, personal memoirs, poems, essays, and folksongs; many have never been published before or have been translated into English for the first time. They bring to life the diverse voices of immigrants and American-born; laborers, merchants, and professionals; ministers and students; housewives and prostitutes; and community leaders and activists. Together, they provide insight into immigration, work, family and social life, and the longstanding fight for equality and inclusion. Featuring photographs and extensive introductions to the documents written by three leading Chinese American scholars, this compelling volume offers a panoramic perspective on the Chinese American experience and opens new vistas on American social, cultural, and political history. |

Chinese Mythology: An Introduction
$36.75 <P>Goes far beyond anything in or out of print on this subject. Nothing remotely of this stimulating nature and high quality exists in English. It will be very much sought after by sinologists, but especially by non-sinologist comparativists. Birrell has singlehandedly saved the scholarly world at least a decade in its attempts to come to grips with this fragmented, refractory body of narratives... [A] marvelous work of humanistic scholarship. -- Victor H. Mair, University of Pennsylvania</P><P>"The first serious and comprehensive introduction to Chinese mythology aimed at both the specialist and general reader. It is splendidly organized with well-chosen texts, lucid commentary, and useful supplementary matter... Sets new standards in the presentation of Chinese mythology. -- Asian Affairs</P><P>We must all thank Professor Birrell for providing an incredibly bountiful source, containing all manner of practical and fascinating information within its framework of myths. This book should find many uses and readers -- it is a superb resource for teaching about Chinese myth, literature, history, religion, culture, and thought. -- Suzanne Cahill, <I>The Journal of Asian Studies</I></P><P>In <I>Chinese Mythology</I>, Anne Birrell provides English translations of some 300 representative myth narratives selected from over 100 classical texts, many of which have never before been translated into any Western language. Organizing the narratives according to themes and motifs common to world mythology, Birrell addresses issues of source, dating, attribution, textural variants, multiforms, and context. Drawing on exhaustive work in comparative mythology, she surveys the development of Chinese myth studies, summarizes the contribution of Chinese and Japanese scholars to the study of Chinese myth since the 1920s, and examines special aspects of traditional approaches to Chinese myth. The result is an un@B` |

China Into Film: Frames of Reference in Contemporary Chinese Cinema
$13.73 As a study of the relationship between contemporary Chinese film and the visual legacy of Chinese arts and culture, this book is superb.--Journal of Asian StudiesSince 1984, Chinese cinema has been the most dramatic entry onto the international film scene. China into Film is the first book to look at contemporary Chinese cinema as a visual art and to illustrate the ways in which it has been shaped by centuries of Chinese tradition. Jerome Silbergeld looks at the significance of gender roles, the strategies of film-makers in coping with state censorship, the translation of novels into films, the continuing attachment of film-makers to melodrama, and cinematic critiques of Maoism and post-Maoist culture.Abundantly illustrated with Chinese paintings as well as scenes from such internationally acclaimed films as Yellow Earth, Red Sorghum, Raise the Red Lantern and Farewell My Concubine, China into Film reveals a cinematic form at once excitingly new and deeply imbedded in traditional Chinese visual culture. |

$240.98 China enjoys the highest level of foreign investment of any country in the world today, and is to all appearances intent on maintaining and even increasing that level. Yet, despite substantial liberalisation pursuant to China s WTO commitments, investment in China remains tightly circumscribed. For complex reasons stemming from China s protection of its own internal economy, the government hedges each form of foreign invested enterprise (FIE) with complex rules for qualification and approval. Many sectors of the economy remain fenced off from foreign investors, while investors in other sectors face a gauntlet of regulatory approvals at nearly every important stage of business. The result is a complex system of laws, regulations, and guidelines, bristling with challenges and uncertainties for even the simplest restructurings, that sometimes apply across the board to all FIEs and sometimes only to a particular kind of FIE. This detailed, systematic explanation-by a practising lawyer at one of the biggest law firms in China-provides thorough and up-to-date guidance on the rules and procedures affecting investments, mergers and acquisitions, and listings in China today. Focusing on such practical matters as applications, regulatory requirements, and transactional procedures, the author leads the practitioner through the maze of interconnected national and local authorities, with lucid explanation of the lines drawn as to total investment amount, sector or category of business, industrial compliance, geographic location, and various imposed restrictions, with expert knowledge of when and under what circumstances various rules apply and when they do not. Included in this superb analysis are detailed descriptions of such factors as the following: establishment of a new FIE, including a substantial review of the articles of association or shareholders agreement; the equity or shares transfer in, or merger with or by, an existent FIE; the cross-border acquisition of a domestic company by foreign investors; the meaning of the official classifications encouraged, permitted, restricted, and prohibited ; enforcement (or enforceability) of certain approvals, depending on context; permits (e.g., for advertising); foreign exchange controls; taxation and accounting matters; export and import and customs duties; eligibility for certain preferential treatments; equity or contractual joint venture with Chinese parties; and controlling or relatively controlling shareholding of Chinese parties. For law firms advising companies on investing in China, or for in-house counsel, this book is without peer as a comprehensive, reliable, and easy-to-use resource. At every stage of a project, from the initial business decision to problems arising after successful start-up and during day-to-day operations, it will provide clear, authoritative guidance for years to come. |

The Chinese
$34.2 Chinese immigrants into the United States encountered persistent bigotry and racial prejudice. Despite their many contributions, the Chinese were thought incapable of assimilation. From 1882 to 1943, most Chinese were legally barred from immigrating, the only national group ever singled out for exclusion. Chinese immigrants persevered, put down roots, started families, built communities, and made inestimable contributions to American culture and life. |

Chinese Diary and Album
$18.5 In 1944, in one of its more inspired moments, the British Ministry of Information dispatched Cecil Beaton-- self-dramatizing exquisite, darling of London society, chosen photographer to royalty, and later the world-famous designer ofemMy Fair Lady/emandemGigi/em--to the Far East to take pictures of the British Empire and its allies at war. The result was not only a superb collection of photographs but a breathtakingly vivid written portrait of India, Burma, and China at a historic turning-point in their histories. These volumes integrate both elements fully for the first time, offering the complete text of Beaton's narrative and a truly comprehensive selection of over 200 photographs.brBeaton was a great observer and, perhaps unexpectedly, a great describer. In remarkably few words, he can make you see, hear, smell, almost touch the dusty Burmese countryside, the shimmering, casual magnificence of a Bombay virtually untouched by war, or the rain-sodden, flea-bitten front lines in a China nearly destroyed by it. He was an acute observer of people, too, and these books offer revealing glimpses of representative wartime figures from Madame Sun Yat-sen and General Claire Chennault to anonymous British soldiers and Chinese peasants. There is mayhem, including an electrifying description of what it's like to live through a plane crash, and mordant social comedy that rivals (and explains much of)emThe Jewel in the Crown/em. Perhaps best of all are Beaton's accounts of the two great invariants of modern war--waiting for transport and enduring it--in all their exquisite variety.brA magnificent record of some of Beaton's most austere and disciplined photography and a welcome reminder of his almost forgotten literary gifts, these books offer a uniquely real picture of one of the most heroic episodes of recent history.br |

Genoa the Superb; The City of Columbus
$29.21 General Books publication date: 2009 Original publication date: 1892 Original Publisher: Estes and Lauriat Subjects: Genoa (Italy) History / Europe / Italy Notes: This is a black and white OCR reprint of the original. It has no illustrations and there may be typos or missing text. When you buy the General Books edition of this book you get free trial access to Million-Books.com where you can select from more than a million books for free. Excerpt: A BRANCH OP CORAL. The pedler, a small and yellow man of persistent ways, opens his box, and offers his stock of coral for inspection. You shake your head sternly, and hasten on into the Church of the Annunziata, while a foolish young father, with his hat on the back of his head, and an expansive-smile which seems to invite all the world to admire his first baby, -- a mite of humanity in the perambulator he is wheeling along, -- pauses, and consults his wife, already a sedate matron with the sweet placidity of a Madonna. The baby will need a coral necklace made of those irregularly shaped bits strung together and deemed suitable for juvenile wear. How can such a baby be expected to begin life without coral ? The interior of the Church of the Annunziata is the richest in Genoa in marble columns, painting, and gilding, although the faqade has been left unfinished. The sacred edifice was rebuilt in 1537, and decorated at the expense of the Lomellini family. Pausing beneath the golden dome of this temple, the history of the builders assumes a characteristic feature of the Sea City. The Genoese Republic granted them the right of the coral fisheries of the island of Tabarca in the gulf of Tunis for two hundred years. The origin of the race is traced to a count palatine, one of the electors of the empire, whose two brothers, Gandolfo and Otto by name, sought Italy, where they became great lords. Their descendants dwelt at Pavia, and held a property named Lomellina. Wars dispersed the gentlemen Lomellini, but they held ev... |

Chinese
$17.66 Any account of reading the Chinese past is enriched by the fact that Chinese writing is both ancient and current. No other writing system of antiquity enjoys this benefit. Since the emergence of the earliest discernible process of writing, in northern China around 1200 b.c., the Chinese system has been used by millions of speakers, and today more people speak a Chinese language than any other. In his accessible, straightforward book, Oliver Moore demystifies one of the world's oldest writing systems, introducing the basic principles of the language, the formation of written characters, and the ways these characters have developed. Drawing on evidence from numerous artifacts in the British Museum and elsewhere, he describes, chronologically, several of the major scripts used to write on each material, from the earliest oracle bones to calligraphic works of art.Moore defines the Chinese language both as a member of an East Asian language family and as a broad term covering quite distinct variations in speech within the borders of modern China. He discusses how the Chinese writing system works today, demonstrating how it exerts its influence far beyond the traditional borders of China. The last chapter illustrates instances of Chinese characters borrowed to write non-Chinese languages. |
