Download and read online ebook The Sinitic Civilization Book I write by Hong Yuan. This book was released on 2018-10-27. The Sinitic Civilization Book I available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The Sinitic Civilization A Factual History through the Lens of Archaeology, Bronzeware, Astronomy, Divination, Calendar and the Annals The book covered the time span of history of the Sinitic civilization from antiquity, to the 3rd millennium B.C. to A.D. 85. A comprehensive review of history related to the Sinitic cosmological, astronomical, astrological, historical, divinatory, and geographical developments was given. All ancient Chinese calendars had been examined, with the ancient thearchs’ dates examined from the perspective how they were forged or made up. The book provides the indisputable evidence regarding the fingerprint of the forger for the 3rd century A.D. book Shangshu (remotely ancient history), and close to 50 fingerprints of the forger of the contemporary version of The Bamboo Annals. Using the watershed line of Qin Emperor Shihuangdi’s book burning of 213 B.C., the book rectified what was the original history before the book burning, filtered out what was forged after the book burning, sorted out the sophistry and fables that were rampant just prior to the book burning, and validated the history against the records in the oracle bones, bronzeware, and bamboo slips. The book covers 95-98% and more of the contents in the two ancient history annals of The Spring Autumn Annals and The Bamboo Annals. There are dedicated chapters devoted to interpreting Qu Yuan’s poem Asking Heaven (Tian Wen), the mythical book The Legends of Mountains & Seas (Shan Hai Jing), geography book Lord Yu’s Tributes (Yu Gong), and Zhou King Muwang’s Travelogue (Mu-tian-zi Zhuan). The book has appendices of two calendars: the first anterior quarter remainder calendar (247 B.C.-104 B.C./247 B.C.-85 A.D.) of the Qin Empire, as well as a conversion table of the sexagenary years of the virtual Yin-li (Shang dynasty) quarter remainder calendar versus the Gregorian calendar, that covers the years 2698 B.C. to 2018 A.D. Book I stops about the midpoint of the 242 years covered in Confucius’ abridged book The Spring & Autumn Annals (722-481 B.C.). Book II stops at Han Emperor Zhangdi (Liu Da, reign A.D. 76-88; actual reign Aug of A.D. 75-Feb of A.D. 88), with the A.D. 85 adoption of the Sifen-li posterior quarter remainder calendar premised on reverting to the sexagenary years of the virtual Yin-li (Shang dynasty) quarter remainder calendar, a calendar disconnected from the Jupiter’s chronogram, that was purportedly invented by the Confucians on basis of Confucius’ identifying the ‘qi-lin’ divine giraffe animal and wrapping up the masterpiece The Spring & Autumn Annals two years prior to death.

Download and read online ebook The Sinitic Encounter in Southeast China through the First Millennium CE write by Hugh R. Clark. This book was released on 2015-10-31. The Sinitic Encounter in Southeast China through the First Millennium CE available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This work engages two of the most neglected themes in China’s long history: the integration of lands south of the Yangtze River into China and its impact on Chinese culture. The roots of Chinese civilization are commonly traced to the North. For millennia after the foundations of the northern culture had been laid, the South was not part of its mandate, and long after the imperial center had claimed political control in the late first millennium BCE, it remained culturally distinct. Yet for the past one thousand years the South has been the cultural, demographic, economic—and, on occasion, political—center of China. The process whereby this was accomplished has long been overlooked in Chinese historiography. Hugh Clark offers a new perspective on the process of assimilation and accommodation that led to the new alignment. He begins by focusing on the stages of encounter between the sinitic north and the culturally diverse and alien south. Initially northerners and southerners looked on each other with antipathy: To the former, the non-sinitic inhabitants of the South were “barbarians.” To these “barbarians,” northerners were arrogantly hegemonic. Such attitudes led to patterns of resistance and alienation across the South that endured for many centuries until, as Clark suggests, the South grew in importance within the empire—a development that was finally recognized under the Song. Clark’s approach to the second theme poses a fundamental challenge to what is meant by “Chinese culture.” Drawing on his long familiarity with southern Fujian, he closely examines the pre-sinitic cultural and religious heritage as well as later cults on the southeast coast to argue that an enduring legacy of pre-sinitic indigenous southern culture contributed significantly to late imperial and modern China, effectively challenging the paradigm of northern cultural hegemony that has dominated Chinese history for centuries. The Sinitic Encounter in Southeast China is a path-breaking book that puts long-neglected issues back on the historian’s table for further investigation.
Tribute of Yu

This book was released on 2020-01-18. Tribute of Yu available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Yu Gong (Lord Yu''s Tributes; Tribute of Yu), which talked about Lord Yu''s flood control and zoning of the nine prefectures, was the cornerstone on which the Sinitic nation, with the three successive dynasties of Xia, Shang and Zhou from the same big family, was founded, and the blueprint according to which the imperial administrative layout was mapped throughout the past millennia. Yu Gong was purportedly a chapter among Xia Shu (book of the Xia dynasty) in the post-Confucius Confucian Classic Shang-shu (remotely ancient history; book of documents), that was seen in Sima Qian''s Shi-ji (historian''s records; historic records). It was taken to be a pseudepigrapha, i.e., written by Lord Yu (r. ? 2207-2198 BC per Lu Jinggui; ? 1989-1982 per the forgery bamboo annals) and his assistant Bo-yi during the era of flood-control, i.e., about 2200-2300 B.C.E. The book, however, could not have been written earlier than the Warring States time period (475-221 B.C.), and might not be part of Confucius'' abridged Shang-shu commandments, oaths, mottos and promulgations from the three dynasties of Xia, Shang and Zhou. Yu Gong neither belonged to the forgery set of the ancient version Shang-shu that was submitted to the Eastern Jinn dynasty court by Mei Yi, a series of books written by Huangfu Mi but pretentiously attributed to the long-lost Kong An''guo-collected version from the double-walls of Confucius'' mansion. Lord Yu''s flood quelling activity, which was touted in Shi-jing (Book of Poems), is corroborated by the Sui4-gong Xu bronzeware on which Yu''s flood quelling activity was inscribed with words similar to Yu Gong (Lord Yu''s Tributes). Zuo Zhuan, in Lu Lord Zhaogong''s 12th year or 530 B.C., claimed that absent Lord Yu everybody would become fish in the water. Numerous ancient classics, such as Li Zheng of Shang-shu, repeatedly talked about ''Yu ji'', i.e., Lord Yu''s footprints. Some Shang bronzeware called Xiang3ru2 (offer to Ru2/Yu) was recently discovered in Hejin of Shanxi, talking about the Shang king''s making sacrifice to Lord Yu. Namely, the oldest artifact proving Lord Yu and Xia dynasty''s existence. Additionally, there are numerous pieces of bronzeware that specifically talked about Lord Yu''s footsteps, such as Qin-gong Gui (Qin Lord Xianggong''s ''gui'' vessel), and the high lord''s overlooking the Xia land (i.e., ''nao''), such as Shi-qiang Pan bronzeware that was dated to Zhou King Gongwang''s reign. The caveat is that the original Xia people''s land could be very much restricted to the You-Xia-zhi-ju land near today''s Luoyang of Henan and on the southern bank of the Yellow River and that the famed nine prefectures could be actually the mountain area to the south of Luoyang and to the west of the Nanyang basin. This is an area eulogized by poem Song Gao as at least three fiefs of the four ordained ministers for the four tall mountains of China, , i.e., Shen-guo, Fuguo (i.e., Lv-guo), Qi and Xu3-guo states. The book could be used to debunk myths in mythogeography. While Kunlun, or Ji-shi (piled-up rocks), was not seen in The Spring & Autumn Annals, Sinitic China long ago talked about Lord Yu''s footsteps across the land and the accomplishments of flood control that averted the fate of people becoming fish on a grand scale, and on a micro scale talked about the nine ancient prefectures that were the mountain area south of the West-to-East flowing Yellow River -which implied that the Xia people had origin there before embarking on a nation-wide flood control work. The central place of Mount Kunlun, i.e., what Richard E. Strassberg claimed as axis mundi or pillar of the sky, had a much older denotation in Yu Gong as a tribe, not a mountain, and was not taken to be the center of world or the paramount sky-propping pillar of the earth till the Han-Jinn dynasties.
