Abstract

Over twenty-seven meters long, the Ordination Scroll of Empress Zhang (1493) is an important Ming Dynasty Daoist artifact from the San Diego Museum of Art's collection. It is a record of the imperial ordination of Empress Zhang (1470-1541), consort of the Ming Dynasty Hongzhi emperor (r. 1488-1505), by Zhang Xuanqing (d. 1509), the forty-seventh Heavenly Master of the Zhengyi institution. This book builds a history of imperial ordinations through a detailed examination of the scroll's transcriptions and meticulously painted images of celestial beings, and it examines the influences of the Daoist leaders known as the Zhengyi Heavenly Masters.

Abstract

Dans le taoïsme comme dans toutes les traditions religieuses, l’hagiographie est un genre majeur. Les récits sur la vie des saints et des dieux constituent en effet des exposés aisément accessibles des principaux aspects de la religion, dont sa doctrine, sa morale et sa liturgie. Ils sont mobilisés comme outil de propagation et de prédication et donnent à voir les valeurs fondamentales et le modèle de vie de cette religion. Au sein de la longue tradition hagiographique taoïste qui s’étend sur deux millénaires, les Vies des saints exorcistes se consacrent à un type particulier qu’elle définissent : les pratiquants des nouveaux rites exorcistes qui connaissent un grand succès à partir du XIe siècle. Ces saints nouent une alliance fusionnelle avec des divinités martiales effrayantes, et ces couples ainsi formés vivent au sein du peuple dont ils soignent les malheurs avant de monter au Ciel et devenir des dieux. Deux ouvrages complets, datés du XIe et du XIIIe siècle, sont traduits ici, ainsi que onze récits plus courts qui tous se présentent comme des variations sur un même modèle de vie qui représente tout un pan encore peu connu de la culture chinoise depuis un millénaire.

Abstract

Chen Jiru (1558-1639) was one of the great late-Ming arbiters of culture and taste, and the impact of his innovations can still be traced in present-day China. In late Ming, when culture and taste enjoyed a social prestige beyond their usual standing, Chen's influence appears even greater than it may have otherwise. This is the first major work in any language to examine Chen's background, make a contrastive study of the genres he utilised in forging his literary reputation, and to examine the use that publishers and others have made since of the literary personae he constructed. A study clearly of interest to historians of early Modern China, as well as to those who study cultural and print histories of both East and West.
