Chinese Wisdom - Trapp James

Ancient Chinese culture has a been a rich source of wisdom for many millennia. Chinese Wisdom provides a concise insight into the ideas of great Chinese thinkers, arranged thematically. Living in the 5th century BCE, great teacher Confucius laid the foundations for an outlook and way of life that focused on correct behaviour, humaneness and respect for one’s elders, precepts that are deeply embedded across East Asian countries to this day. His disciple, Meng Ke, outlined new ideas for rulers which provided the basis of Chinese political culture for many centuries afterwards. Laozi, the founder of Taoism and author of the Tao Te Ching, wrote about the Tao, or the Way – the correct way of living attainable to all and which links all things. Sun Tzu’s Art of War provides advice on how to overcome and outwit an opponent (the basic tenets of which are often applied to business strategy today), while Zhu Xi taught the advantages of meditation as a method for self-knowledge and self-cultivation. Beautifully produced in traditional Chinese binding, Chinese Wisdom offers more than 80 succinct quotes from Chinese thinkers through the ages, on topics as wide- ranging as filial piety, love, clear thinking, work, business, war and family. A compact volume for anyone interested in ancient Chinese thought Features more than 80 quotes from great Chinese thinkers, such as Sun Tzu, Laozi, Zhi Xi and Confucius A beautifully packaged gift made using traditional Chinese book-binding techniques

Zrození Evropanů - Johannes Krause, Thomas Trappe - audiokniha

Audiokniha: „Krause a Trappe uchvátí čtenáře nadšením z mladého oboru archeogenetiky a ukážou, že dějiny evropského obyvatelstva jsou příběhem změn, převratů, míšení, migrace, adaptace a samozřejmě i utrpení. Minulost je dekódovaná jako nikdy předtím.“ — Wall Street Journal O knize Takovou knihu o historii ještě nikdo nenapsal. Nezmiňuje žádného krále, žádné náboženství a jen dvě revoluce – tu neolitickou a tu ve čtení DNA. Druhá z nich se odehrála v posledních deseti letech a díky stomilionkrát zrychlené sekvenci genomu konečně odpovídá na otázky, které nás vzrušovaly po staletí: Co z nás dělá lidi? Odkud pocházíme? A jak jsme se stali tím, čím jsme dnes? Strhující vyprávění spojuje poznatky z mnoha jen zdánlivě nesouvisejících oborů. Autoři popisují přínos dávného křížení hominidů pro zdraví moderního člověka i vliv prehistorických migrací na to, jaké mléčné výrobky kde dnes dostanete k snídani. Objasňují tři genetické pilíře Evropanů a zároveň mimoděk ukazují, jak blízko k sobě lidé z celého světa mají. ## Nespíš vás překvapí: - Jak vypadaly partnerské a sousedské vztahy lidí moderního typu s neandertálci a denisovany. - Že velkou inovací bylo ochočení vlka a jak se psi společně s lidmi naučili trávit cukry. - Evropští lovci a sběrači měli tmavou pleť a modré oči – světlou pokožku přinesli do Evropy až zemědělství migranti z Anatolie. - Jak se zdokonalují bakterie moru, TBC a dalších chorob usilujících nám od pravěku o život a jak se kvůli nim měníme my. - Že na Sardinii potkáte žijící lidské genetické fosilie. O autorech Johannes Krause (* 1980) je německý biochemik a profesor archeogenetiky a paleogenetiky na Univerzitě v Tübingenu. Byl ředitelem Institutu Maxe Plancka pro historickou antropologii v Jeně, nyní působí na Institutu Maxe Plancka pro evoluční antropologii v Lipsku. Analýzou DNA mimo jiné prokázal, že vedle neandertálců a moderních lidí tvořili svébytnou vývojovou větev definované. Thomas Trappe (* 1981) je vedoucím rubriky o zdraví v berlínském deníku Tagesspiegel. Více o knize http://www.melvil.cz/kniha-zrozeni-evropanu

The Chinese Myths - Tao Liu Tao

The essential guide to the complex, fascinating world of Chinese myths: retelling the stories and exploring their significance in Chinese culture. This is a concise and entertaining guide to the complex tradition of Chinese mythology. While many around the world are familiar with some aspects of Chinese myth - through Chinese New Year festivities or the classic adventures of the Monkey King in Journey to the West - few outside of China understand the richness of Chinese mythology, influenced by Daoism, Buddhism and Confucianism.Offering much more than any competing overview of Chinese mythology, The Chinese Myths not only retells the ancient stories but also considers their place within the patterns of Chinese religions, culture and history. Tao Tao Liu introduces us to an intriguing cast of gods, goddesses, dragons and monks, including: the ancient hero, Yi the Archer, who shot suns out of the sky to save humanity from a drought; Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy and Compassion, to whom there are temples dedicated all over East Asia; and Madame White Snake, a water snake spirit in the guise of a mysterious widow, her story adapted into countless films and operas. This book is for anyone interested in China, as knowing its myths allows readers to understand and appreciate its culture in a new light.

Chinese Wallpaper in Britain and Ireland - Emile de Bruijn

Nominated for the 2019 Karel van Mander prize, this lavishly illustrated overview showcases some of the most significant Chinese wallpapers surviving in the British Isles.Chinese wallpaper has been an important element of western interior decoration for three hundred years. As trade between Europe and China flourished in the seventeenth century, Europeans developed a strong taste for Chinese art and design. The stunningly beautiful wall coverings now known as â ˜Chinese wallpaperâ ™ were developed by Chinese painting workshops in response to western demand. A sophisticated synthesis of eastern and western art, Chinese wallpapers were an early-modern global product and they are still popular and influential today. In spite of their spectacular beauty, Chinese wallpapers have not been studied in any depth until relatively recently. This book provides an overview of some of the most significant Chinese wallpapers surviving in the British Isles. Sumptuously illustrated, it shows how these wallpapers became a staple ingredient of high-end interiors while always retaining a touch of the exotic.The book charts the stylistic development of Chinese wallpaper, allowing individual wallpapers to be more securely dated. It also touches on the China trade, the crucial role of the paper-hangers and the social significance of Chinese-style decoration in Britain. This is a ground-breaking resource for both scholars and designers, as well as for anyone interested in historic interior design.

Chinese Platforms - Jian Lin, Wilfred Yang Wang, Ping Sun

The rise of the Chinese internet has reconfigured digital culture around the world. From social media platforms such as WeChat and Douyin to utility platforms Didi and Eleme, the Chinese platform economy has shown a remarkable capacity to innovate and grow, incurring constraints as well as receiving protection from the Chinese state. This is the first textbook to centre Chinese platforms in the transformation of the global internet. Offering an overview of the history, governance and social-political implications, the book shows how Chinese platforms are situated within the domestic political economy of China, and the external geopolitics and cross-border mobilities of capital, technology and populations. Topics covered include policy and governance, social media entertainment, e-commerce, digital labour, and the Chinese diaspora. Comparing and contrasting the Chinese platform ecology with its global counterpart, the book argues that, while Chinese platforms exhibit more effective economic and technological innovation and have strong cultural cachet, they are subject to a far greater degree of state oversight, including facilitation as well as correction and censorship. Chinese Platforms is a required reading for students of Media and Communication Studies and China Studies, as well as those interested in the rise of digital China and the implications for the global platform society.

Modern Chinese Foodways - Jia-Chen Fu, Michelle T. King

An edited collection that explores the multifaceted experiences of Chinese culinary modernity both within and outside of mainland China from the mid-19th century to present.Modern Chinese Foodways defines some of the major processes by which Chinese food and foodways have become modern, with a focus on the period from the mid-nineteenth to the twenty-first century. The editors, Jia-Chen Fu, Michelle T. King, and Jakob A. Klein, highlight four prominent areas of change: commodification of food production; the scientization of expertise and the development of new food technologies; the creation of new culinary identities based on gender, ethnicity, and nation; and the circuits of migration taking place since the nineteenth century.This collection argues that Chinese food and foodways are very much modern—not a given in the face of the chorus of voices that insists on emphasizing its ancient roots—in ways that both recall the experiences of other cultures, as well as in ways unique to China’s own historical trajectory. The book combines incisive, original scholarship by thirteen leading voices in the field with editorial essays on the past and future of Chinese food studies to frame the field of inquiry for the next generation of Chinese food studies scholars. Demonstrating the significance of modern Chinese foodways to the phenomenon of culinary modernity writ large, which is still largely shaped by Euro-American perspectives and priorities, Modern Chinese Foodways is the first book of its kind.

Late Classical Chinese Thought - Chris Fraser

Chris Fraser presents a rich and broad-ranging study of the culminating period of classical Chinese philosophy, the third century BC. He offers novel and informative perspectives on Confucianism, Daoism, Mohism, Legalism, and other movements in early Chinese thought while also delving into neglected texts such as the Guanzi, Lu s Annals, and the Zhuangzi outer chapters, restoring them to their prominent place in the history of philosophy.Fraser organizes the history of Chinese thought topically, devoting separate chapters to metaphysics and metaethics, political philosophy, ethics, moral psychology, epistemology, and philosophy of language and logic. Focused specifically on the last century of the Warring States era, arguably the most vibrant, diverse period of philosophical discourse in Chinese history, the discussion covers the shared concerns, rival doctrines, and competing criticisms presented in third-century BC sources.Fraser explicates the distinctive issues, conceptual frameworks, and background assumptions of classical Chinese thought. He aims to introduce the philosophical discourse of early China to a broad audience, including readers with no prior familiarity with the material.

The Chinese Dream and Law - Shiping Hua

Analyzes the major laws promulgated during the Xi Jinping era against a background of the politics and ideology of the Xi regime in general.The Chinese Dream and Law study situates the Chinese Dream in the modern utopianism discourse since the Late Qing, following Kang Youwei and Mao Zedong. As a tool to promote the Chinese Dream, the legal reforms during the period depart from the thin constitutionalism of the first three decades of the post-Mao era and resemble aspects of Legalism. Although the current regime has made some progress in protecting people s socioeconomic rights through law, it has retreated on upholding judicial independence to protect people s civil and political rights, especially those vis-à -vis the state. The first three decades since post-Mao reform are an aberration that deviates from the normal trajectory of modern Chinese political development. The decade-long efforts by the current regime have slowed the growing official corruption and have slightly narrowed the growing income gap, although economic growth was cut in half. The Chinese style of utopianism could mean a better place —as in the country s ancient past. It could also become a no place in the modern diverse world because this human hope that has a universal claim is often built on authoritarian means.

Ancient Chinese Warfare - Ralph Sawyer

The history of China is a history of warfare. Rarely in its 3,000-year existence has the country not been beset by war, rebellion, or raids. Warfare was a primary source of innovation, social evolution, and material progress in the Legendary Era, Hsia dynasty, and Shang dynasty -- indeed, war was the force that formed the first cohesive Chinese empire, setting China on a trajectory of state building and aggressive activity that continues to this day. In Ancient Chinese Warfare, a preeminent expert on Chinese military history uses recently recovered documents and archaeological findings to construct a comprehensive guide to the developing technologies, strategies, and logistics of ancient Chinese militarism. The result is a definitive look at the tools and methods that won wars and shaped culture in ancient China.

Traditional Chinese Medicine In The Treatment Of Post-covid-19 Syndrome - Dan Jiang, Kerry Webster, Fanyi Meng

The COVID-19 pandemic dominated the globe for at least three years, and infected a large proportion of the worldwide population. After the acute infection, many stay in poor health for months. The nature of this aftermath is not yet fully understood, therefore the management of this syndrome through biomedical therapy is not ideal. Health services are struggling to help those who are still suffering. The condition has now been recognised as post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS) â ” providing a common platform for academic exchange.Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been applied to similar conditions for over 2,000 years, including in the aftermath of previous pandemics, and this understanding of such conditions has been validated in clinical practice. In TCM, patterns are established to group the weakness, the residue of pathogens or interaction between pathogens and the defence system. Those patterns form the framework for understanding the illness after acute infections. The authors use this ancient understanding in their own contemporary practice, which is particularly rewarding when the illness within PCS is treated with acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and other therapies in tandem. This is the holistic TCM approach strongly recommended by the authors as they demonstrate great outcomes. The whole-system TCM approach for PCS is now presented in this book to health professions for PCS.This book has been awarded 2023 International Contribution Award of Chinese Medicine - Works Award issued by the World Federation of Chinese Medicine Societies.

Love, Service, Wisdom - Jorge Luis Delgado

In this one-of-a-kind book, Inca shaman Jorge Luis Delgado teaches readers the three pillars of his cultureÂ’s spiritual tradition: munay, llankey, and yachay—or love, service, and wisdom. Readers will learn through stories and rituals how to embrace these values and their own inner sun.Munay | Llankay | Yachay The Inca people have long recognized that each person is a microcosm of the greater universe governed by the law of ayni, or sacred reciprocity. By aligning our hearts, minds, and actions, we can live in harmony with ourselves, our communities, and the natural world. In this unique book, wisdom keeper and chakaruna Jorge Luis Delgado teaches readers how to live in harmony with the universe through the three core principles of Inca spirituality.Munay, a concept central to Inca spirituality, is the unconditional love that is the fundamental creative force of the cosmos. Through heart-opening meditations and rituals honoring Pachamama, or Mother Earth, readers will learn to awaken their inner sun and radiate this loving energy to all beings.Llankay, or sacred action, is the second pillar of Inca wisdom. By aligning our actions with our most deeply cherished values, we can become cocreators of a more beautiful world. Delgado shares Inca techniques for finding flow, building community, and honoring the sacredness of service.Yachay is the wisdom we gain when we release hucha, or heavy energy, and embrace the radiance of our inner sun. By casting aside that which does not serve us, we make space for the innate wisdom of nature to express itself through us, becoming messengers of peace and light. Filled with the mythology, rituals, and cosmology of the Inca tradition, Love, Service, Wisdom is an invitation to live as a radiant, heart-centered being in service of all life. Â
