Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. Summary:"The Aura of Confucius: Relics and Representations of the Sage at the Kongzhai Shrine in Shanghai adds an art-historical perspective to recent scholarship that challenges the conventional image of Confucius (Kongzi) as a secular paragon of learning, and of Confucianism as simply a philosophy of ethical humanism and governmental ideology. The book explores material and visual forms that have embodied ideas about Confucius and his teachings, in his hometown of Qufu (Shandong), in imperial China's ubiquitous official temples and private academies, and in a shrine called Kongzhai ("Kong Residence") on the outskirts of modern Shanghai. At Kongzhai, a place that Confucius himself never visited, a 34th-generation descendant allegedly buried the master's robe, cap, and jade ornaments over 1000 years after his death. Centuries later, these unseen relics inspired the construction of a ritual complex that acquired multiple representations of the Sage, attracting Ming and Qing scholarly pilgrims who came to offer sacrifices and experience his beneficent aura. Centered on the Tomb of the Robe and Cap and a sacrificial hall with sculptural icons (abolished from official temples in the 1530 ritual reform), Kongzhai was periodically repaired and occasionally expanded or modified to serve new functions. Ambitious officials and local literati used their patronage and interactions with Kongzhai to enhance their own prestige and to promote the surrounding area. Kongzhai was honored by the Kangxi emperor in 1705 and celebrated in the 19th century as the foremost "famous place" in its locality, Qingpu County. However, Kongzhai's fortunes declined with modernization, particularly after Confucian ritualism became delegitimized with the fall of the Qing dynasty. Implausible legends and reactionary associations eventually made Kongzhai a target of Maoist campaigns against feudalism, superstition, and despised social classes, and it was destroyed in the Cultural Revolution. Unlike many other ruined sites of traditional culture, it has not been reconstructed, and its history has been largely expunged from official memory. Drawing on more than 25 years of research, The Aura of Confucius: Relics and Representations of the Sage at the Kongzhai Shrine in Shanghai identifies personal items and sites of specific events that functioned as relics of Confucius, and examines his representation in sculptural icons, portraits, and pictorial biographies. Their deployment at Kongzhai shows how Confucian concepts and representations of Confucius himself could be used to create a ritual center, revealing connections with modes of veneration more often associated with Buddhism, Daoism, and popular cults. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, the book also analyzes the chronology of Kongzhai's physical configurations against its rhetorical construction as a "special place" and situates its rise and fall within the social, political, economic, and cultural conditions of the 12th through 20th centuries. The successive phases of Kongzhai's development and its eventual eradication from landscape and memory also illuminate the multivalent influence of Confucius's descendants on his veneration and point to some contradictions within the contemporary Confucian revival"-- Provided by publisher.…

Mirror of Morality takes an interdisciplinary look at an important form of pictorial art produced during two millennia of Chinese imperial rule. Ideas about individual morality and state ideology were based on the ancient teachings of Confucius with modifications by later interpreters and government institutions. Throughout the imperial period, members of the elite made, sponsored, and inscribed or used illustrations of themes taken from history, literature, and recent events to promote desired conduct among various social groups. This dimension of Chinese art history has never before been broadly covered or investigated in historical context. The first half of the study examines the nature of narrative illustration in China and traces the evolution of its functions, conventions, and rhetorical strategies from the second century BCE through the eleventh century. Under the stimulus of Buddhism, sophisticated techniques developed for representing stories in visual form. While tracing changes in the social functions and cultural positions of narrative illustration, the second half of the book argues that narrative illustration continued to play a vital role in elite visual culture.…
