SUMMARY:NYU Shanghai Lecture: From Scripture to Literature
DESCRIPTION:From the first century BCE to the second century CE\, Chin
 a experienced a wax and wane of zeal for the so-called “Confucian”
  Classics. For example\, in 72 CE\, the court sacrificed to Confucius 
 and his seventy-two disciples. But by 165 CE\, the sacrifice was to La
 ozi 老子\, supposedly a Daoist figure. While Yang Xiong 揚雄 (53 B
 CE–18 CE) believed that rhapsody writing was a minor and childish sk
 ill compared to classicism\, Cao Pi 曹丕 (187–226 CE) two hundred 
 years later claimed that literary writing was a grand\, everlasting ac
 complishment\, as opposed to the narrow-minded practice of interpretin
 g the classics. What caused these seemingly opposite phenomena and att
 itudes\, and was there any underlying relationship between them? This 
 talk will explore how in the first two centuries CE China\, classicism
  encouraged people to travel and in turn shaped their social relations
 hips\, material lives\, and certain intellectual trends such as erudit
 e learning and literary writing.
