Homer in China Before May-Fourth Movement

Li Shixue， Li Yiqing Crystal

Abstract： Homer is generally taken as one of the most representative poets in the West. It was not， however，until twenty-first centuries that Homer attracted the attention of Chinese readers. In the late Ming and the earlyQing dynasties， Jesuit missionaries Alfonso Vagnone and Joseph Prémare mentioned Homer， alluding to him byhis Italian or Latin names. In the late Qing dynasty， Homer’s name was translated into Chinese in various ways.Today he is best known by the name in the Chinese characters which Liang Qichao used. Similarly， the genre ofepic， known in Mandarin as shishi， remained unknown until the late Qing dynasty， when Wilhelm Lobscheid， aGerman missionary， began to translate the Meriam Webster Dictionary into Chinese. The term shishi returned toChina through the Japanese borrowing of it in the late nineteenth century. A few short segments of the Homericepics were rendered into Chinese in the late Ming and late Qing periods. Given source studies as the majorapproach to Homeric problems in pre-modern China， however， there was no scholarship on Homer in Chineseuntil the early Republican era.

The Overseas Chinese Scholar Char Tin-Yuke and His Research on theHistory of Overseas Chinese

Li Ruipu

Abstract： Char Tin-Yuke’s research on the history of overseas Chinese originated from his exploration ofthe origins of the Hakkas， and then advanced with his research on the history of overseas Chinese in Hawaii. Hebelieves that the shortage of labor in Hawaii’s sugarcane farming and sugar industry， as well as the continuoussocial unrest in South China， were the reasons for some Chinese people’s migration to Hawaii， where the Chinesehave made important contributions to the local economic development， and have adopted the local lifestyle whileretaining their traditional customs. Hawaiian authorities promulgated entry restriction on Chinese to reduce their"influence. Char Tin-Yuke takes the restrictive laws on Chinese in Pacific countries as an example to illustrate theinstitutional restrictions that Chinese people suffered in such aspects as voting right， land ownership and careerchoice. He attaches importance to the use of previous research results to serve his research theme， and enriches hisresearch contents with diverse historical materials. He is one of the first historians to write in English the historyof overseas Chinese in Hawaii and the Pacific Region.

Key words： Char Tin-Yuke， history of overseas Chinese， overseas Chinese in Hawaii

Abstract： Based on an in-depth analysis of Chinese and Nepali literature， this paper discusses in detail thehistory of Sino-Nepali exchanges and the development of Sinology in Nepal. It also systematically introduces thehistorical tradition and contemporary evolution of Sinological studies in Nepal. Because of the historical originsof the two countries， Nepal has a unique research advantage in early bilateral relations and Buddhist culturalexchanges， which led to excellent academic achievements of Nepalese Sinology in its embryonic stage， andcontributed to the formation of a research tradition centered on historical investigation. In the early 21st century，Nepalese Sinology began to develop rapidly， and its fields of concern extended from the history of bilateralrelations to Chinese society， economy， diplomacy， culture and other aspects， with more specific research methodsand perspectives.

A Preliminary Study on the German Translation of Excerpts of Shuoyuan and Xinxu

Ke Hui

Abstract： The German translation of excerpts of Shuo Yuan and Xin Xu was published in the Germanversion of Description géographique， historique， chronologique， politique， et physique de l’empire de la Chine inthe middle of the 18th century. The translation of these excerpts is faithful to but shorter than the original Frenchversion. There are in total 11 stories， 10 of which are related to “politics” and one to “virtue”. In the early 19thcentury， Johann Gottfried Herder， a German Enlightenment thinker， published Adrastea， a cultural periodical， inwhich there were four new stories from Shuo Yuan and Xin Xu about “advice”， which were translated by Herder. Theintroduction of this German translation of excerpts met the intellectual needs of ordinary readers in German-speakingareas， and at the same time reflected the academic interest of German translators. In particular， Herder， who compiledand supplemented the stories， was an unexpected disseminator of Chinese culture.

Dang Congxin， Li Yongping

Abstract： Taking women studies as the starting point， Beata Grant conducted an investigation into thereligious life of traditional Chinese women under the dual research path of understanding “religion for women”and “women for religion”.

Accordingly， Grant uses her “Chinese experience” of Chinese women studiesas an ideological and cultural resource， and combines cross-cultural perspectives， common expressions andobservation of the mainstream from the edge to deal with the dilemma of Western women studies.
