China Behind Feng Shui-Ernst Eitel and Feng Shui

This paper takes Chinese“Feng Shui”as a starting point to study German missionary Ernest Eitel’s writings on Feng Shui and to explore the Chinese images constructed by him in his writings.This study begins by analyzing the structure of Eitel’s work Feng Shui,or,the Rudiments of Natural Science in China,and the Chinese images that he constructed in his work.The study argues that,due to his multiple identities as a missionary,a believer in colonialism,an educator,and a researcher of culture,as well as the influence of what he saw and heard in China,Eitel,despite his exhaustive examination of Chinese Feng Shui culture,ultimately,due to his own biases brought about by his own experiences and cultural differences,produced a paradoxical discourse on Feng Shui:he understood it as a Chinese natural science system,but an unsystematic one.As a result,Eitel also built a contradictory image of the Chinese:they hold a belief in the“animism”and respect for ancestral observations of nature,which ultimately translates into a superstitious belief in nature and an ignorance of true science.

Pictorial Versions of the Mulian Story in East Asia （Tenth--Seventeenth Centuries）： On the Connections of Religious Painting and Storytelling

In this paper, I analyze pictorial representations of the Buddhist story of Mulian rescuing his mother in China, Japan, and Korea in the pre-modern and early modern periods. I have collected several pictorial versions of the Mulian story in these countries, and comparison shows close proximity of several such works. All of them are related to the narrative texts that represent elaboration of the originally scriptural story （it originated in the apocryphal Buddhist scripture that circulated in China） in vernacular languages. Images of the Mulian story in the countries of East Asia had diverse nature： they could appear as separate scenes in devotional religious paintings, multi-scene handscrolls, and illustrations in the manuscripts and editions. I argue that the subject of Mulian rescuing his mother was of primary importance in the popularization of Buddhist ideas among different layers of society. The related images were used for both storytelling and reading practices and helped different audiences to comprehend the Mulian story.
