Prepping for a lecture on Great Divergence, but I have no idea who belong to the "California School" (besides a few). Unlike the Annales School, CS doesn't have its own journal or organization. How many scholars explicitly self-identify as CS? Or, is it a label given by others?

南朝齊梁高道陶弘景（456－536）編纂的東晉上清降誥《真誥》內容瑰奇，語言典雅，不僅是道教文學，也是世界宗教文學中的奇葩，其水準可與但丁《神曲》媲美。本次演講試圖進一步分析此書卷三收錄的11首“有待無待歌詩”的內涵以及這些歌詩所反映出的仙真人格及其與佛教的關係。#daoism #daoistliterature

网易新闻做的2022年年终总结，现在在中国已经全网下架，估计制作团队甚至网易都要因此被整肃 贵在感人至深的同时，没有娇柔没有夸张，没有激进也没有粉饰，好几个地方看哭了。就这样也依然会被血洗 网易还是那个2010年的网易，你们才是真的辛苦了

Some more joys from the Musée Guimet, starting with this fabulous glazed Arhat/Luohan from the Liao or Jin dynasties (~10th-12th century), part of a cache discovered in a cave in Yi county 易县, Hebei and now in museums around the world /1

Turkey has very few China experts but my colleagues are so productive that we have at least one piece a day about China in Turkish/English. It is exceptional to find this level public scholarship about a foreign country in Turkey. Admirable and inspiring 👏 👏

Randolph professor Selda Altan has been awarded an Early Career Fellowship from the Henry Luce Foundation/American Council of Learned Societies in China Studies to continue working on book about women-led efforts to help U.S.-China relations during WWII. randolphcollege.edu/news/2023/04/a…

I assign a translator’s biography project for my Classical Chinese lit class, but always struggle to find biographies of female scholars. I wonder if anything like 两个世界的媒介：德国女汉学家口述实录 is available for English readers?

The long podcast I did with Kaiser Kuo. I have done quite a few podcasts but this one went into the details of the book the most. Kaiser Kuo really zeroed in deeply. Appreciate his careful reading. goo.gl/alerts/FGMSoF #GoogleAlerts

This week our mammoth special issue on National Traditions of Sinology edited by Josh Fogel appeared in print - 400 pages, 15 papers in the journal that covers all of Chinese history: Journal of Chinese History 中國歷史學刊 cambridge.org/core/journals/…

“You are engaged with a Chinese world that, despite the best efforts of the Communist Party, its obsession with security and spies, its crippled academic world, the propaganda organs and twisted party-state education and indoctrination, thrives in a myriad of ways.”

Every once in a while, the actual rules of the liberal international order become terrifyingly clear. This shocks people of good conscience in the First World, while billions of others, who do not have the luxury of this ignorance, see awful confirmation of what they already know

為什麼在香港談東北？That’s a question I want to ask as well:-)
