Chinese Healing Exercises: The Tradition of Daoyin (A Latitude 20 Book)
Daoyin, the traditional Chinese practice of guiding the qi and stretching the body is the forerunner of Qigong, the modern form of exercise that has swept through China and is making increasing inroads in the West. Like other Asian body practices, Daoyin focuses on the body as the main vehicle of attainment; sees health and spiritual transformation as one continuum leading to perfection or self-realization; and works intensely and consciously with the breath and with the conscious guiding of internal energies.This book explores the different forms of Daoyin in historical sequence, beginning wi...

Translingual Practice: Literature, National Culture, and Translated Modernity-China, 1900-1937
Are languages incommensurate? If so, how do people establish and maintain hypothetical equivalences between words and their meanings? What does it mean to translate one culture into the language of another on the basis of commonly conceived equivalences? This study―bridging contemporary theory, Chinese history, comparative literature, and culture studies―analyzes the historical interactions among China, Japan, and the West in terms of "translingual practice." By this term, the author refers to the process by which new words, meanings, discourses, and modes of representation arose, circulat... [Read More]

Although there have been books about a few especially well-known persons among them, this is the first book in either English or Chinese to study t... [Read More]
