        Roaming in Aesthetics

        by Zong Baihua

        The first edition of Roaming in Aesthetics was published in 1981, which was reprinted many times and sold to this day. It is a classic and must-read book for Chinese aesthetics. This print was an illustration collection and was kept in its original form. Only some statement omission was revised, and more than 150 illustrations were added to make the book more embossed, giving readers an immersive aesthetic enjoyment. We missed the figure that was holding a cane and squatting on the shore of Weiming Lake; we tasted the brightness of walking sound. Please go to this aesthetic journey, “walk slowly, appreciate!”

        The Many Faces of Ruan Dacheng

        Poet, Playwright, Politician in Seventeenth-Century China

        by Alison Hardie

        The Many Faces of Ruan Dacheng: Poet, Playwright, Politician in Seventeenth-Century China is the first monograph in English on a controversial Ming dynasty literary figure. It examines and re-assesses the life and work of Ruan Dacheng (1587–1646), a poet, dramatist, and politician in the late Ming period. Ruan Dacheng was in his own time a highly regarded poet, but is best known as a dramatist, and his poetry is now largely unknown. He is most notorious as a ‘treacherous official’ of the Ming–Qing transition, and as a result his literary work—his plays as well as his poetry—has been neglected and undervalued. Hardie argues that Ruan’s literary work is of much greater significance in the history of Chinese literature than has generally been recognised since his own time. Ruan, rather than being a transgressive figure, is actually a very typical late Ming literatus, and as such his attitudes towards identity and authenticity can add to our understanding of these issues in late Ming intellectual history. These insights will impact on the cultural and intellectual history of late imperial China.

        Messages from the Past: History of Taiwan in Letters from the 17th to 20th Centuries

        by Lung-chih Chang, Yi-fan Lin, Wen-cheng Shih, Yin-yi cheng, Feng-nan Su, Sheng-chuan Chuang, Po-zong Chen, Sian-wei Zeng, Jen-tzu Huang

        Letters used to be an important medium for communication in the past, transferring information, recording events while also carrying feelings and thoughts of individuals. To understand the history of a period, letters provide appropriate source materials. In this book, eight letters are selected to reconstruct the history of Taiwan, including official letters of the governor-general of the Dutch East India Company, postcards from a Taiwanese Imperial Japan serviceman, and family letters from the son of Chi Hua Ko─a victim of the White Terror era. The book covers a time spanning from Dutch rule in the seventeenth century to post-war Taiwan in the mid twentieth century. Every letter reflects its historical background and tells an intriguing story. Interpretation of history is often affected by external factors like politics and is frequently manipulated or twisted. Still, history serves as an important basis for self-identity. With letters as sources, this book intends to take a serious and deep look at historical materials and view the history of Taiwan in a new light.
