 | Global Technology Initiative RAP The 2006 GTI Journey To The East Lyrics by Tony Cacace, Jennifer De Guzman, Adam Loero Performed by Tony Cacace, John Laporga, Adam Loero ---------------------------- Here's a little story I've got to tell About 26 students you know so well It started way back in history With Dean Wei, Shirley Lin, and Dr. JT It was four years ago, Dean Wei had an idear, To send her students overseas, and kick them into gear, in a foreign land with a guiding hand they would grow to be responsible, and an SJSU fan. One single person she be, But not alone in this valley. She called her old friends Those with Benjamins. Money was the issue and to this they gave her ends. Looking for a name, One to get her by, She asked herself one question How' bout GTI? Sooooo next there were the logistics; to set the whole trip up Two weeks spent in Asia was enough to get her stuck. In came Shirley Lin, rising to the test Her sprits were high, her skill were sharp, she had to be the best. Quick on the phone and fast on the keys, Lin had the businesses beg on their knees, "Oh please send your students" is what they would say "To make it worth your while, we'll even pay their way" That was that, the trip was set, except for one small thing who would guide the students as they traveled through Beijing Only one man was good enough for the job. His name, Dr. Tsao, not Dr. Bob! As the story goes the man became a hero, But he needed twenty-six, none of them a zero. We all sent in our stuff, we all said, "Choose me!" And here we are today making history. But now I'm getting ahead, ahead of my story. We had a lot of work before we got the glory. Goin' to China, Now I don't want to brag, and I don't want to boast But Hitchin' a ride were Barez and the Provost! We were in the company of San Jose elite. If you want to know the time, Barez has got the beat! First stop on the trip, a rainy place to pave the way Fourteen hours on a plane, and we were in Taipei! We saw where they made the nuclear power, Stuffed ourselves with dumplings, stayed out at all hours. "Nee how" is what was said in place of hello, "Shir Shir" meaning thank you, and "Boo" meaning no. We couldn't stay long The tour it was raging, And what could be wrong With going to Beijing? We met the Prez at Google, we climbed the Great Wall Scholars in the City--we were right on the ball. On the street the boys chomped scorpion and snake Then on to our next stop, a place famous for a lake. In Honzow we were chillin', the girls all drank tea... We learned what was what at a conductor company. Cruisin' through the temple, listening to the monks, Yeah, we were full of culture, not uneducated punks! From hangzhou, to shanghai, In an airplane we did fly We stood on the corner, said to the girls, Ni How Ka "I". Shanghai is a city with a river called Huangpu. We were out on the streets; we had so much to do. Haggle with the vendors who call "Hey Lady!" Watch out for the women who offer you "Massage-y!" There is a new China being built in Pudong. Chairman Mao is gone and they're building it strong. It's the land of the future, land of bright light. We shopped in the day and went out all night. Not all good things gotta come to an end-- GTI will live forever, as long as we stay friends. One more thing remains for us to do-- That's why we're here tonight: to say "Thank you!" Nothing could be fina For twenty-six cool cats but three were mad rhymas. (Performed live on October 04, 2006, at the GTI Appreciation and Recognition Dinner, College of Engineering, San Jose State Univ.) -- Info About GTI -- In order for SJSU students to thrive in the highly competitive global economy, it is critical for them to develop international perspectives and knowledge. To this end, the College of Engineering has established a one-million-dollar Global Technology Initiative, whose mission is to give American students a global perspective with a focus on technology and business developments in the Asia-Pacific region.

 | Chinese Civilization for Five Thousand Years1-5Xia夏 & Shang商 1,King Wen (Chinese: 周文王; pinyin: Zhōu Wén Wáng) (1099--1050 BC) was the founder of the later Zhou Dynasty. The Zhou state was located in the Wei River valley in present day Shaanxi Province. At one point, King Zhou of Shang, fearing Wen's growing power, imprisoned him. However, many officals respected Wen for his honourable governing. So they gave King Zhou many gifts, and requested Wen 's release. These gifts included gold, horses and women. Zhou agreed, and Wen was released. King Wen planned the conquest of the current dynasty in power, the Shang Dynasty, but he died before he could accomplish this. His family name was Ji (Chinese: 姬; pinyin: jī). He married TaiSi (Chinese: 太姒; pinyin: Tàisì) and had at least two sons, Zhou Gong Dan and Zhou Gong Wu (Chinese: 周公武; pinyin: Zhōu Gōng Wǔ). His second son became King Wu of Zhou and completed his fathers wishes by defeating the Shang army at their capital. He eventually became the first king of the new Zhou dynasty. King Wen is also known for his contributions to the Yi Jing, a manual of divination. King Wen is attributed with having stacked the eight trigrams in their various permutations, to create the sixty-four hexagrams. He is also said to have written the judgements which are appended to each hexagram (the line statements are attributed to his son, the Duke of Zhou. The most commonly used sequence of the sixty four hexagrams is attributed to King Wen and is usually referred to as the King Wen sequence. 2,King Wu of Zhou (Chinese: 周武王; pinyin: zhōu wŭ wáng) or King Wu of Chou was the first sovereign of the Chinese Zhou Dynasty. Various sources quoted that he died at the age of 93, 54 or 43. Zhou Gong Dan was one of his brothers. King Wu was the second son of King Wen of Zhou. After ascending to the throne, King Wu tried to accomplish his father's dying wish: the defeat of the Shang Dynasty. King Wu used many wise government officials--most notably Prime Minister Jiang Ziya, a man evidentially declared as "the master of strategy"--resulting in the Zhou government growing far stronger as the years elapsed. In 1048 BC, King Wu called for a meeting of the surrounding dukes at Meng Jin. More than 800 dukes came to the meeting. In 1046 BC, seeing that the Shang government was in a shambles, King Wu launched an attack along with many neighboring dukes. In the Battle of Muye, Shang forces were destroyed, and King Di Xin of Shang set his palace on fire and burned himself to death. Following the victory, King Wu established many smaller feudal states under the rule of his brothers and generals. He died three years later in 1043 BC. 3,Jiang Ziya (Chinese: 姜子牙, Pinyin: Jiāng Zǐyá) (dates of birth and death unknown), a Chinese semi-mythological figure, resided next to the Weishui River about 3,000 years ago. The region was the feudal estate of King Wen of Zhou. Jiang Ziya knew King Wen was very ambitious so he hoped to get his attention. He often went angling at the Weishui River, but he would fish in a bizarre way. He hung a straight hook, with no bait, three feet above the water. He over and over again said to himself, "Fish, if you are desperate to live, come and gulp down the hook by yourself." In a little while his outlandish way of fishing was reported to King Wen, who sent a soldier to bring him back. Jiang noticed the soldier coming, but did not care about him. Jiang just continued with his fishing, and was soliloquising, "Fishing, fishing, no fish has been hooked—but shrimp is up to tomfoolery." The soldier reported this back to King Wen, who became more interested in Jiang. King Wen sent a bureaucrat to invite Jiang this time. But Jiang again paid no attention to the invitation. He simply carried on fishing, saying, "Fishing, fishing, the big fish has not been hooked—but a small one is up to mischief." Then King Wen realized Jiang might be a great genius so he went to invite Jiang personally, and brought many magnificent gifts with him. Jiang saw the king's earnest desire so Jiang decided to work for him. Jiang aided King Wen and his son in their overthrow of the Shang Dynasty; they established the Zhou Dynasty in its stead. Jiang was given the title (hao) of Taigong so people called him Jiang Taigong. His treatise on military strategy, Six Secret Teachings, is considered one of the Seven Military Classics of Ancient China. Jiang Ziya's seventh generation descendant (his great-grandson's great-grandson's son) was Jiang Chi (姜赤). Jiang Chi had a great-grandson named Shi (傒), who was given a piece of land in Shandong province called "Lu" (盧). He took his surname from the land. All Chinese with the last name Lu (盧) can trace their ancestry back to Jiang Ziya. ------------------------------------------------- I,Xia Dynasty夏朝(c21th-c.16th century B.C) II,Shang Dynasty商朝(c16th-11th,century B.C.)

 | RFK Remix - Wei Wei In this video Wei Wei, a member of a local Toastmaster club, reads from a speech RFK originally gave at Cape Town University in 1966. This is documentation from the third of 4 Saturday events at the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Forum in St. James Park, San Jose, CA which commemorates him speaking there 2 months before his assassination. As part of the temporary public art project, "RFK Remix" - http://www.rfkremix.info, individuals are invited to recite RFK speeches in front of a tapestry sewn from recycled clothing. The tapestry acts as a temporary renovation and a visual cue to signal activity taking place at the monument during the Saturday events in the park (May 10th, 17th, 24th and 31st — 11am - 1pm) and relates to the story of a woman who used to give away free clothing in the park.

 | Chinese Civilization中华文明3-1Western Zhou Dynasty礼乐颂歌 西周（公元前1046年~公元前771年）中国历史上继奴隶制商朝之后的第一个封建朝代，由周文王之子周武王姬发灭商后所建立，定都于镐京（今陕西省西安市西部）。由于周朝后来将都城东迁洛邑（今河南洛阳）称东周，所以称这一时期的周朝为西周。 另：东周赧王时其地亦分为东西二周。 The Zhou Dynasty (Chinese: 周朝; pinyin: Zhōu Cháo; Wade-Giles: Chou Ch`ao; 1122 BC to 256 BC) was preceded by the Shang Dynasty and followed by the Qin Dynasty in China. The Zhou dynasty lasted longer than any other dynasty in Chinese history—though the actual political and military control of China by the dynasty only lasted during the Western Zhou. During the Zhou, the use of iron was introduced to China, while this period of Chinese history produced what many consider the zenith of Chinese bronze-ware making. The dynasty also spans the period in which the written script evolved from the ancient stage as seen in early Western Zhou bronze inscriptions, to the beginnings of the modern stage, in the form of the archaic clerical script of the late Warring States period. During the Zhou Dynasty, the origins of matured Chinese philosophy developed, its initial stages beginning in the 6th century BC. The greatest Chinese philosophers, those who made the greatest impact on later generations of Chinese, were Kong Fuzi (Latin: Confucius), founder of Confucianism, and Laozi, founder of Daoism. Other philosophers, theorists, and schools of thought in this era were Mozi (Latin: Micius), founder of Mohism, Mengzi (Latin: Mencius), a famous Confucian who expanded upon Kong Fuzi's legacy, Shang Yang and Han Feizi, responsible for the development of ancient Chinese Legalism (the core philosophy of the Qin Dynasty), and Xunzi, who was arguably the center of ancient Chinese intellectual life during his time, even more so than iconic intellectual figures such as Mencius. Mandate of Heaven In the Chinese historical tradition, the Zhou defeated the Shang and oriented the Shang system of ancestor worship toward a universalized worship away from the worship of Di and to that of Tian or "heaven". They legitimized their rule by invoking the Mandate of Heaven, the notion that the ruler (the "Son of Heaven") governed by divine right but that his dethronement would prove that he had lost the mandate. Such things that proved the ruling family had lost the Mandate were natural disasters and rebellions. The doctrine explained and justified the demise of the Xia and Shang Dynasties and at the same time supported the legitimacy of present and future rulers. The Zhou dynasty was founded by the Ji family and had its capital at Hào (鎬, near the present-day city of Xi'an in the Wei River valley). Sharing the language and culture of the Shang, the early Zhou rulers, through conquest and colonization, established a large imperial territory wherein states as far as Shandong acknowledged Zhou rulership and took part in elite culture. The spread of Zhou bronzes, though, was concurrent with the continued use of Shang style pottery in the distant regions and these states were the last to recede during the late Western Zhou. Zhou military The early Western Zhou supported a strong military split into two major units: "The Six Armies of the West" and "The Eight Armies of Chengzhou". The armies campaigned in the northern Loess Plateau, modern Ningxia and the Huanghe floodplain. The military prowess of Zhou peaked during the 19th year of King Zhao's reign, when the Six Armies were wiped out along with King Zhao on a campaign around the Han River. Early Zhou kings were true commanders-in-chief. They were in constant wars with barbarians on behalf of the fiefs called 'guo', namely, statelet or principality. Charles Hucker noted that Zhou had 14 standing royal armies, with 6 stationed in Haojing, near today's Xian, and 8 armies stationed in the east. Zhou Zhaowang (r. 1052--1001 BC) was famous for repeated campaigns in the Yangtze areas and died in his last action. Zhou Muwang (r. 1001--946 BC) was a legendary figure famous for fighting in the west and maybe today's Central Asia where he met and rendezvoused on Kunlun Mountain with so-called Xi Wang Mu, namely, Queen Mother of the West, rumored by some western historians, including Charles Hucker, to be Queen of Sheba. (The actual place for Kunlun Mountains would be somewhere close to today's Jiuquan County, Gansu Province. Mt Kunlun, extending for almost 2000 miles from Kara-Kunlun bordering Tibet in the west to Qilian Mountain in the east, was a source of many Chinese myths and legends.) Later kings' campaigns were less effective. King Liwang (r. 878--7 BC) led 14 armies against barbarians in the south but failed to achieve any victory. King Xuanwang (r 827--782 BC) fought the Jiangrong nomads in vain. King Youwang was killed by Quanrong, and capital Haojing was sacked. Although chariots had been introduced to China since the Shang Dynasty,[3] the Zhou period saw the use of massed chariots in battle, a technology imported from Central Asia |

 | BeijingOpera Executing MaSu 京劇《斬馬謖》片段 《三国演义》第九十六回 孔明挥泪斩马谡 Romance of Three Kingdoms - Luo Guanzhong - Chapter 96 马谡不遵诸葛将令，失守街亭，与王平回营请罪。诸葛亮虽惜马才，但以军法无私，挥泪斩之；并因己用人失当，上表自贬。 Peking Opera Executing Ma Su story is based on Chapter 96 of the classic historical novel Three Kingdoms. Zhuge Liang takes the risk of the empty-city stratagem to drive off Sima Yi, immediately abandons the Xie valley West City County, and Nanan, Tianshui, Anding three prefectures, returns to Hanzhong quickly. Fortunately General Zhao Yun brings up the rear, the troops return without loss of one soldier one ride. Having counted the troops, Zhuge Liang is reported that Ma Su, Wang Ping come together with Gao Xiang and Wei Yan. Zhuge Liang calls out Wang Ping enter first, interrogates the loss. Wang Ping detailed to state Ma Su rejecting advice and lost Jieting, and himself how divide forces and pursue thing of rescuing, etc. After Wang Ping walks out from Zhuge Liang's court, Ma Su came in to be charged to an account. Zhuge Liang becomes angry and closely questions and says to Ma Su: You are not calling the well-read in book on military strategy and tactics, the person who familiars with tactics? You should have known how important Jie Ting is for us, what is more, how innumerably I gave you warnings and repeated exhortations when I saw your departure. If you listen to the advising of Wang Ping early, what to having this? Su Ma only takes the deep blame by oneself, bows his head to receive military criminal code, only begs his old mother off with eighty years old. Zhuge Liang ordered attendants to tie him and take out for execution, but called back and consoled him with kind speech, appeared much reluctant to see his death. All those show Zhuge Liang not only just likes a person of talent but also has a regret of his mistaken employment. So although Ma Su was executed by the military law, Zhuge Liang still shed tears and wailed for Ma Su's death. |
 | World Heritage in China世界遗产在中国：Yungang Grottoes云岗石窟1/3 The Yungang Grottoes (simplified Chinese: 云冈石窟; traditional Chinese: 雲崗石窟; pinyin: Yúngāng Shíkū) are ancient Buddhist temple grottoes near the city of Datong in the Chinese province of Shanxi. They are excellent examples of rock-cut architecture and one of the three most famous ancient sculptural sites of China. The others are Longmen and Mogao. The site is located about 16 km south-west of the city, in the valley of the Shi Li river at the base of the Wuzhou Shan mountains. The grottoes were mainly constructed in the period between 460-525 AD during the Northern Wei dynasty. They are an outstanding example of the Chinese stone carvings from the 5th and 6th centuries. All together the site is composed of 252 grottoes with more than 51,000 Buddha statues and statuettes. In 2001, the Yungang Grottoes were made a UNESCO World Heritage Site The Yungang Grottoes is considered by UNESCO a "masterpiece of early Chinese Buddhist cave art...
