Memory and Agency in Ancient China offers a novel perspective on China's material culture. The volume explores the complex 'life histories' of selected objects, whose trajectories as ginle objects ('biographies') and object types ('lineages') cut across both temporal and physical space. The essays, written by a team of international scholars, analyse the objects in an effort to understand how they were shaped by the constraints of their social, political and aesthetic contexts, just as they were also guided by individual preference and capricious memory. They also demonstrate how objects were capable of effecting change. Ranging chronologically from the Neolithic to the present, and spatially from northern to southern mainland China and Taiwan, this book highlights the varied approaches that archaeologists and art historians use when attempting to reconstruct object trajectories. It also showcases the challenges they face, particularly with the unearthing of objects from archaeological contexts that, paradoxically, come to represent the earliest known point of their 'post-recovery lives'.

This volume introduces readers to classical Chinese literature from its beginnings (ca. 10th century BCE) to the tenth century CE. It asks basic questions such as: How did reading and writing practices change over these two millennia? How did concepts of literature evolve? What were the factors that shaped literary production and textual transmission? How do traditional bibliographic categories, modern conceptions of genre, and literary theories shape our understanding of classical Chinese literature? What are the recurrent and evolving concerns of writings within the period under purview? What are the dimensions of human experience they address? Why is classical Chinese literature important for our understanding of pre-modern East Asia? How does the transmission of this literature in Japan, Korea, and Vietnam define cultural boundaries? And what, in turn, can we learn from the Chinese-style literatures of Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, about Chinese literature? In addressing these questions, the Oxford Handbook of Classical Chinese Literature departs from standard literary histories and sourcebooks. It does not simply categorize literary works according to periods, authors, or texts. Its goal is to offer a new conceptual framework for thinking about classical Chinese literature by defining a four-part structure. The first section discusses the basics of literacy and includes topics such as writing systems, manuscript culture, education, and loss and preservation in textual transmission. It is followed by a second section devoted to conceptions of genre, textual organization, and literary signification throughout Chinese history. A third section surveys literary tropes and themes. The final section takes us beyond China to the surrounding cultures that adopted Chinese culture and produced Chinese style writing adapted to their own historical circumstances. The volume is sustained by a dual foci: the recuperation of historical perspectives for the period it surveys and the attempt to draw connections between past and present, demonstrating how the viewpoints and information in this volume yield insights into modern China and east Asia.

程元敏教授集結三十年研究之大作
中國經學史上的磅礡巨獻
本書充分體現經學方面的嶄新見解
釐清漢經學上的許多學術迷團
中國經學，自孔子創始，
迄今已兩千六百年，為中國學術之骨幹，
而「漢經學史」承先啟後，大家輩出，
更是中國經學史中最重要的時代。
漢武帝實行董仲舒所倡的「罷黜百家、獨尊儒術」，立五經博士，增設弟子員，漢代儒生們即以傳習、解釋五經為主業，自此經學日益興盛。漢朝也是經學最為昌盛的時代，朝野內外誦讀經書蔚然成風；儒生通過自身實踐，並藉以官學私學教育，把經學思想深深地植入在普通民眾之中。
本書詳述自秦季漢初，至東漢末年建安時期，四百二十二年經學的歷史，舉凡朝廷經學方略、郡國經學教育、歷朝經學大家之學說、經學家授徒講論撰著、今古文學派之爭……等，可說是全面涵蓋，由微至顯，顯甚而衰。皆論述其事之始末，辨析其隆替之軌跡。
程元敏教授有感於目前所見漢經學史之專書，纂輯成編，碎義難免，因此致力以三十年研究之成果成就此漢經學史之全史，希冀對於揅經識史通學者有所裨益。

In this volume, Mu-chou Poo offers a new overview of daily life in ancient China. Synthesizing a range of textual and archaeological materials, he brings a thematic approach to the topic that enables a multi-faceted understanding of the ideological, economical, legal, social, and emotional aspects of life in ancient China. The volume focuses on the Han period and examines key topics such as government organization and elite ideology, urban and country life, practical technology, leisure and festivity, and death and burial customs. Written in clear and engaging prose, this volume serves as a useful introduction to the culture and society of ancient China. It also enables students to better understand the construction of history and to reflect critically on the nature of historical writing.

在公元前一世纪晚期，中国上古文献的文本形式发生了一次革命性的巨变，其剧烈程度甚至超过了孔子时代。同一部书，在此界限前后，我们需区别对待，而非等而视之。这不仅关乎我们对传世文献的认知，也会左右我们对出土文献价值的评判。若混同这种前后的变化，以东汉以来的传世文本为基础，以《汉书·艺文志》为想象模型，来描述先秦学术或文学，我们勾勒出的只是先秦的镜像，而非早期知识世界的真实图景。
观察西汉以前的知识世界，刘向和《汉书·艺文志》是必要的起点，但也是特别需要超 越的视点。刘向、刘歆父子所描绘的早期知识世界，被班固简化为《汉书·艺文志》中的六艺、诸子等清晰的线描图谱。但是，这个图谱只是一种叙事的结构，我们后来的人被这个叙事结构给“规范”了。如何站在学术传统之外观察这个结构，以及如何超 越它对我们的“规范”，乃是此书研究的中心问题和元方法。

Books of Fate and Popular Culture in Early China is a comprehensive introduction to the manuscripts known as daybooks, examples of which have been found in Warring States, Qin, and Han tombs (453 BCE–220 CE). Their main content concerns hemerology, or “knowledge of good and bad days.” Daybooks reveal the place of hemerology in daily life and are invaluable sources for the study of popular culture.
Eleven scholars have contributed chapters examining the daybooks from different perspectives, detailing their significance as manuscript-objects intended for everyday use and showing their connection to almanacs still popular in Chinese communities today as well as to hemerological literature in medieval Europe and ancient Babylon.
