Today, I had the opportunity to present my transcription of and research on long-lost letters from the first Danish Sinologist, Mourier, to Julius Klaproth right next to #武夷山, where #朱熹 built his study. Great atmosphere! #Sinology #ChineseHistory

Trip to Gulang Island #鼓浪嶼 today for a lecture in the Old Japanese Consulate. Great views on an architecturally stunning island. European style villas standing side by side, and trees that look ancient seaming the paths with not a single car in sight.

Made my way to Xiamen University 廈門大學 for a Sinology workshop on German-Chinese relations throughout history and had the chance to visit Lu Xun‘s #魯迅 study room where he often stayed over night to keep using the library during his time here. Looking forward to a great workshop! #ChineseHsitory

Concerning Wei Yuan #魏源, Jane Kate Leonard's Wei Yuan and China's Rediscovery of the Maritime World gives a brief introduction to his thought. Recently, however, we've also been graced with a great study on Wei's philosophical thought by Stefan Christ (only in German).

iu's most prominent students have more works dedicated to them: For Gong Zizhen #龔自珍, Judith Anne Whitbeck's dissertation, The Historical Vision of Kung Tzu-Chen (1792-1841) is a good starting point. Other scholars have written books on his poetry for example.

Both Liu Fenglu's student Ling Shu #凌曙 and Ling's student Chen Li #陳立 still await further study in Western or Asian languages. Even though I am still waiting for my copy of it (first one was lost in the mail a while ago), the 凌曙集 contains some promising studies on Ling.

For Zhuang's grandson Liu Fenglu #劉逢祿, we have 曾亦's recent 從素王到真王 and 吳龍川's 劉逢祿《公羊》學研究. Wu's study is decent and although I haven't had time to read the first book yet, Zeng is usually a safe bet. 張廣慶 has also compiled a good biography: 武進劉逢祿年譜. #ChineseThought

While not a Gongyang work per se, many Qing Gongyang scholars saw the Baihutong/Bohutong #白虎通 as representative of New Text and Gongyang doctrine. Thus, I want to remind everyone of this great translation by Tjan Tjoe Som 曾珠森! #ChinesePhilosophy

Good translations of the Gongyang zhuan are yet to be published (Gentz and Queen will hopefully publish theirs soon). Harry Miller has published a translation but it has quite some issues (paperback available). Göran Malmqvist published a good partial translation between 1971-77. #HanDynasty

Joachim Gentz' Das Gongyang zhuan is a massive study on the Gongyang itself, looking at its emergence and exegesis until the Western Han. Benjamin Elman's Classicism, Politics, and Kinship dives deep into the Changzhou School of Thought reviving Gongyang Confucianism in the Qing.

Starting with overview works: 鄭任釗's 公羊學思想史研究 and 黃開國's 公羊學發展史 are possibly the best introductions out there & follow high academic standards. 蔣慶's 公羊學引論 (a foundational works of #MainlandNewConfucianism #大陸新儒家) has its own POV but is quite usable as an intro. #Philosophy

As the lack of English secondary literature specifically dedicated to Gongyang Confucianism #公羊學 makes this School of Chinese Philosophy and #Confucianism rather inaccessible, I have decided that it is time for a bibliography post including introductory and more specific works on Gongyang thinkers.

Received a few books from China a few days ago and am super excited for some more #公羊學. Especially interested in what seems to be the only other monograph ever written on #劉逢祿 besides 吳龍川‘s 劉逢祿《公羊》學研究 (2008). And 曾亦 is usually a safe bet for good research on Chinese Philosophy! #Sinology

Yesterday, I presented part of my research on Gongyang Confucian revenge at the Qing Intellectual History Network. Great session with lots of interested questions and nice discussion afterwards. Thanks to everyone who joined us! #公羊學 #Confucianism

This Thrusday, I was able to join Prof. Nicolas Standaert‘s emeritation lecture on “The Art of Turning Muddled” (難得糊塗). From challenges universities are facing over their achievements to his famous 4Vs, it felt like he really brought together insights from his whole career.

Wow, this is super interesting! I‘m always fascinated by different annotation systems people come up with. While my annotations are rather tame (lines, brackets, circles, notes, some “code” letters here and there,…) I’ve come across some WILD note-taking!

Definitely also check out her book Yinyang: The Way of Heaven and Earth in Chinese Culture and Thought. Such a great source on the basic dynamics of Chinese cosmology. I consult this book to this day and still find it a source of great insight. #ChinesePhilosophy #ChineseThought

Had the chance to join a workshop on image annotation in IMMARKUS led by @hildedw.bsky.social, Rainer Simon, Sunkyu Lee, and Dawn Zhuang today. This was great fun and definitely a tool I will use when working with visual media and texts in the future! #digitalhumanities
