Plot Synopsis: The Pied Piper of America, Michael, devises a crafty plan to steal Chinese children from their parents. He uses the guise of a hiking trip to lure the unsuspecting children into his cave back in the United States. Before he can act, the parents become suspicious of this foreign operative, and come up with a counter-plan. "All we have to do is woo him with the glory of our Chinese culture, then he will never have cause to return to the decadent West," thinks Mama Zhang. They present him with a traditional Chinese tea ceremony, illuminating all the wonders of Chinese tea, and by transferrence, the majesty of Chinese civilization. Intoxicated with the heady aromas of Oolong, he gives up his clandestine designs and devotes himself to a life of quiet study. When a local maiden tries to force him into marriage, he declines. "Sinology is my bride now, and scholarship my honeymoon." Outraged at her rejection, the lovely maiden falls into a frenzy, "A curse upon your ancestors, Michael. Who needs you and your green card, anyway."

Three Kingdoms period (traditional Chinese: 三國; simplified Chinese: 三国; pinyin: Sānguó) is a period in the history of China, part of an era of disunity called the Six Dynasties following immediately the loss of de facto power of the Han Dynasty emperors. In a strict academic sense it refers to the period between the foundation of the Wei in 220 and the conquest of the Wu by the Jin Dynasty in 280. However, many Chinese historians and laymen extend the starting point of this period back to the uprising of the Yellow Turbans in 184. The three kingdoms were Wèi (魏), Shǔ (蜀), and Wú (吳). To help further distinguish these states from other historical Chinese states of the same name, historians add a relevant character: Wei is also known as Cáo Wèi (曹魏), Shu is also known as Shǔ Hàn (蜀漢), and Wu is also known as Dōng Wú or Eastern Wu (東吳). The term Three Kingdoms itself is somewhat a mistranslation, since each state was eventually headed by an emperor who claimed legitimate succession from the Han Dynasty, not by kings. Nevertheless the term has become standard among sinologists. Shu Han (Traditional Chinese: 蜀漢, pinyin: Shǔ Hàn), sometimes known as the Kingdom of Shu (蜀 shǔ) was one of the Three Kingdoms competing for control of China after the fall of the Han Dynasty, based on areas around Sichuan which was then known as Shu. Some historians argue it is the last Han dynasty because Liu Bei is directly related to the Han sovereignty. The other two states were Cao Wei in central and northern China, and Eastern Wu in southern and southeastern China.

邹衍，齐国人。生卒年不详，据推断大约生于公元前324年， 死于公元前250年，活了70余岁。他活动的时代后于孟子，与公 孙龙、鲁仲连是同时代人。齐宣王时，邹衍就学于稷下学宫，先 学儒术，改攻阴阳五行学说，然而终以儒术为其旨归。"邹衍以儒 术干世主，不用，即以变化始终之论，卒以显名。......邹子之作 变化之术，亦归于仁义"(《盐铁论．·论儒第十一》)。"邹子疾晚 世之儒墨不知天地之弘，昭旷之道，将一曲而欲道九折；守一隅 而欲知万方，犹无准平而欲知高下，无规矩而欲知方圆也。于是， 推大圣终始之运，以喻王公列士......"(《盐铁论·论邹第五十 三》)。可见，学儒术也好，攻阴阳也罢，邹衍的目的是在寻求经 世致用之学，充分体现了他匡世济民的入世精神。对此，司马迁 旮比较深刻的认识，他说："邹衍睹有国者益淫侈，不能尚德，...... 乃深观阴阳消息而作怪迂之变，《终始》、《大圣》之篇十余万言。 ......然要其归，必止乎仁义节俭，君臣上下六亲，始也滥耳。王 公大人初见其术，惧然顾化，其后不断行之。......邹衍其言虽不 轨，傥亦有牛鼎之意乎?"(《史记·孟子荀卿列传》)后人不察其 大道，而学其小术，故封建迷信兴，这不是邹衍的错误。"邹衍以 阻阳主运显于诸侯，而燕齐海上之方士传其术不能通，然则怪迂 阿谀苟合之徒自此兴，不可胜数也。"(《史记·封禅书》) http://bk.baidu.com/view/69828.htm Zou Yan (Chinese: 鄒衍/邹衍; pinyin: Zōu Yǎn; Wade-Giles: Tsou Yen; 305 BC - 240 BC) was the representative thinker of the School of Yin-Yang (or School of Naturalists) during the Hundred Schools of Thought era in Chinese philosophy. Joseph Needham, a British sinologist, describes Zou as "The real founder of all Chinese scientific thought."[1] His teachings combined and systematized two current theories during the Warring States Period: Yin-Yang and the Five Elements/Phases (wood, fire, earth, metal, and water). All of Zou Yan's writings were lost and are only known through quotations in early Chinese texts. The best information comes from his brief biography in the Records of the Grand Historian (1st century BC) by Sima Qian. It describes him as a polymath (philosopher, historian, politician, naturalist, geographer, astrologer) who came from the coastal state of Qi (present day Shandong), where he was a member of the state-sponsored Jixia Academy (稷下).

Interview with Sinologist Jean-Philippe Beja about how the international community can best approach China's uncertain human rights record.

This poem is by Ch'u Yuan (otherwise Qu Yuan) ca.340-278 BC. At a time of political upheaval he committed suicide by drowing in the Mi-lo river. See Wikepedia for fuller details http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qu_Yuan This marvellous translation - marvellous because it makes a wonderful poem in English - is by the English Sinologist and Fellow of All Souls Oxford David Hawkes (b. 6.7.23). - See Wikipedia also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hawkes_(scholar) David Hawkes translated the poem as 'Encountering Sorrow'. This poem has been a favourite of mine for many years and I first read it in the Anthology of Chinese Literature published by Penguin Books in 1967....This is only a section of the poem; read the whole thing for the fuller flavour of this exquisite flower-poem. Scion of the High Lord Kao Yang, Po Yung was my father's name. When She T'i pointed to the first month of the year, on the day keng yin, I passed from the womb. My father, seeing the aspect of my nativity, took omens to give me an auspicious name. The name he gave me was True Exemplar; the title he gave me was Divine Balance. Having from birth this inward beauty, I added to it fair outward adornment: I dressed in selinea and shady angelica, and twined autumn orchids to make a garland. Swiftly I sped, as in fearful pursuit, afraid Time would race on and leave me behind. In the morning I gathered the angelica on the mountains; in the evening I plucked the sedges of the islets....

CHAN: Next up, lets find out what puppet theatre is all about. STORY: The culture museum in Lund is holding the 2008 international puppet festival. The group Hsiao Hsi Yuan has the opening show. This group was founded in 1913. They give life to the ancient Chinese puppets [Professor Goran Malmqvist, Sinologist]: "This is the best group in Taiwan and perhaps the best in the Chinese speaking world. What is special about these particular hand glove puppets is they normally perform in temples, in Taoists temples and it is a part of the religious ritual, you see. But it is not necessarily of religious content. But it is a kind of offering to the powers in heaven as thanks to the Gods and entertainment to the believers." Professor Malmqvists has many trades. He is on the Nobel Prize jury and he has translated the book Dao De Jing by Lao Tzu. [Goran Malmqvist, Professor]: "I will give you the first line (Chinese). If the Dao can be pronounced it is not the correct Dao, if the way can be shown you it is not the correct way. Fang I Ching crossed Lake Tungting in a boat. All of a sudden the dragon spirit of the lake brings on a storm. At the critical moment a Taoist adept comes and saves Fang." [Michael Meschke, Theatre Director]: "The first word that comes in my mind is virtuosity they are so talented. Unbelievable what three fingers can do to a puppet. So it is a terribly rich tradition and there's no denying it's alive. There's one thing you can learn from any puppet show wherever you are on earth and that's the struggle between good and evil. Because when you look at big dramas and theatre throughout mankind's history it always comes down to this struggle between good and evil. So that goes for China, too."

The Three Kingdoms period (traditional Chinese: 三國; simplified Chinese: 三国; pinyin: Sānguó) is a period in the history of China, part of an era of disunity called the Six Dynasties following immediately the loss of de facto power of the Han Dynasty emperors. In a strict academic sense it refers to the period between the foundation of the Wei in 220 and the conquest of the Wu by the Jin Dynasty in 280. However, many Chinese historians and laymen extend the starting point of this period back to the uprising of the Yellow Turbans in 184. The three kingdoms were Wei (魏), Shu (蜀), and Wu (吳). To distinguish these states from other historical Chinese states of the same name, historians prepended a character: Wei is also known as Cao Wei (曹魏), Shu is also known as Shu Han (蜀漢), and Wu is also known as Dong Wu or Eastern Wu (東吳). The term Three Kingdoms itself is somewhat of a mistranslation, since each state was eventually headed by an emperor who claimed legitimate succession from the Han Dynasty, not by kings. Nevertheless the term has become standard among sinologists. Although relatively short, this historical period has been greatly romanticised in the cultures of China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. It has been celebrated and popularised in operas, folk stories, novels and in more recent times, films, television serials, and video games. The best known of these is undoubtedly the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a fictional account of the period which draws heavily on history. The authoritative historical record of the era is Chen Shou's Sanguo Zhi, along with Pei Songzhi's later annotations of the text. Technology advances significantly during this period. Zhuge Liang invented the wooden ox, suggested to be an early form of the wheelbarrow. A brilliant mechanical engineer known as Ma Jun, in the Kingdom of Wei, is considered by many to be as brilliant as his predecessor Zhang Heng. He invented a hydraulic‐powered, mechanical puppet theatre designed for Emperor Ming of Wei (Cao Rui), square‐pallet chain pumps for irrigation of gardens in Luoyang, and the ingenious design of the South Pointing Chariot, a non‐magnetic directional compass operated by differential gears. The Jìn Dynasty (simplified Chinese: 晋朝; traditional Chinese: 晉朝; pinyin: jìn cháo; 265--420), one of the Six Dynasties, followed the Three Kingdoms period and preceded the Southern and Northern Dynasties in China. The dynasty was founded by the Sima family (司馬 pinyin: Sīmǎ). Note that there are four periods of Chinese history using the name "Jin" (see clarification here). At its height the Jin Dynasty had a population of about 20 million people. The first of the two periods, the Western Jìn Dynasty (ch: 西晉, 265--316), was founded by Emperor Wu, better known as Sima Yan. Although providing a brief period of unity after conquering the state of Eastern Wu in 280, the Jìn could not contain the invasion and uprising of nomadic peoples after the devastating War of the Eight Princes. The capital was Luoyang until 311 when Emperor Huai was captured by the forces of Han Zhao. Successive reign of Emperor Min lasted four years in Chang'an until its conquest by Han Zhao in 316. Meanwhile remnants of the Jìn court fled from the north to the south and reestablished the Jìn court at Jiankang, south-east of Luoyang and Chang'an and near modern-day Nanjing, under Prince of Longya. Prominent local families of Zhu, Gan, Lu, Gu and Zhou supported the proclamation of Prince of Langye as Emperor Yuan of the Eastern Jìn Dynasty (ch: 東晉 317--420) when the news of the fall of Chang'an reached the south. (Because the emperors of the Eastern Jìn Dynasty came from the Langye line, the rival Wu Hu states which did not recognize its legitimacy would at times refer to Jìn as "Langye.") ------------------------------------------------- VI,Three Kingdoms三国(220-280) 1,Wei魏(220-265) 2,Shu Han蜀汉(221-263) 3,Wu吴(222-280) VII,Western Jin Dynasty西晋(265-316) VIII，Eastern Jin Dynasty东晋(3170420)
