Item The Confucian Creation of Heaven: Philosophy and the Defense of Ritual Mastery, Digital version(SUNY Press, 1990) Eno, RobertThis is a digital version of the 1990 book, The Confucian Creation of Heaven, published by SUNY Press, incorporating pinyin transcription for Chinese, rather than the original Wade-Giles. The book examines the way core early Confucian (or "Ruist") texts treat the concept of Tian (Heaven), in order to elucidate the social and philosophical orientation of the early Confucian community. The central theme of the book is that the coherence of early Confucianism emerges only when doctrine is viewed as a function of the unique ritual practices of the early Confucian community.Item Breaking the Disciplinary Boundaries: Collaborative Research in Early Modern Japanese Arts and Literature(Department of History, Emory University, 1992-11) Jones, SumieItem A Decade of the CALA Indiana Local Group(1996-08-13) Liu, Wen-lingItem From Teachers to Texts: Confucian Collaborationism and Qin Encyclopaedism(1997) Eno, RobertThis working paper outlines a revisionist portrait of the role of Confucians duing the Qin and very early Han Dynasties. Its principal thesis is that Confucianism was patronized by the Qin court, rather than persecuted, resulting in the compilation of a number a canonical anothologies traditionally viewed as pre-Qin works. The destruction of the Qin palace archives during the civil war transition to the Han, along with anti-Confucian policies at the court of the initial Han emperors, accounts for the loss of many "classical era" texts that is usually attributed to Qin tyranny.Item The Ming-Qing conflict, 1619-1683 : a historiography and source guide(Association for Asian Studies, 1998) Struve, Lynn A.Item Reviewed Work: Twentieth Century China: An Annotated Bibliography of Reference Works in Chinese, Japanese, and Western Languages: Subjects(China Review International, 2004) Brose, Michael C.Anyone who has tried to find a comprehensive list of reference works on any aspect of modern China knows just how piecemeal, frustrating, and time-consuming the process can be. James Cole is attempting to ease the process somewhat, for scholars and librarians, by compiling a bibliography of reference works published mainly during the thirty-year period from 1964-1994. Now that the first section, organized by subject headings, has been published, we can appreciate the utility and monumental scope of his work. This first section contains some 12 , 200 entries, arranged alphabetically by title within subject headings, ranging from "Abbreviations" to "Youth and Youth Movements" (there are approximately four hundred subject headings), that describe reference works on modern China in Chinese, Japanese, and Western languages. This is the first of an eventual three-part bibliography; section 2 will be organized by "Persons" and section 3 by "Places."Item Reviewed Work: The Empire of the Qara Khitai in Eurasian History: Between China and the Islamic World(Journal of Song-Yuan Studies, 2007) Brose, Michael C.One of the most interesting but, until now, least-studied regional empires in pre-Mongol Central Asia was that created by the Qara Khitai. It was truly an empire "in the middle." Located in one of the most remote regions of Eurasia, between Lakes Balqash and Issyk Ku! in present-day Xinjiang, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan, the Qara Khitai governed a highly disparate group of peoples and client states that shared no common language, religion, or culture. They created an empire that differed considerably from neighboring sedentary or nomadic empires and was known by at least two quite different names, Qara Khitai and Western Liao.Item Glossed Texts For the Study of Shang Dynasty Oracle Bone Inscriptions(2007) Eno, RobertShang Dynasty oracle inscriptions are the earliest voices we hear from China, dating from about 1250 BCE until the dynasty's end two centuries later. They speak to questions of religious thought and practice, social and political structures, and historical change. This primer can help students begin to learn how to read these texts.Item Zigong and the Identity of the Yan and Meng Schools(2007-04) Eno, RobertThis 2007 working paper (with material added in 2023) explores the role of the Confucian disciple Zigong in early texts and the historical profile of Zigong derived from them. Although not the most prominent of Confucius's disciples, the paper notes Zigong's pervasive textual presence, the unusual role he plays in some texts, and his unique political and cultural profile in considering how the historical Zigong may have become a pivotal figure in the emergence of competing lineages of early Confucian thought. The analysis relies upon core texts, such as the Lunyu and Zuozhuan, as well as some excavated Warring States texts first transcribed and published in the 21st century.Item 3.4 Shang Kingship and Shang Kinship(2010) Eno, RobertAn exploration of the Shang royal genealogy, structured around discussion of K.C.

This brief survey covers the Neolithic cultures of Peiligang, Yangshao, Longshan, and Liangzhu, leading to the riddle of the historicity and nature of the Xia Dynasty. The theories of Sarah Allan and David Nivison are discussed in order to focus the question, and a translation of the Shiji (ch. 2) account of the House of Xia is included.Item 4.1 The Qin Dynasty(2010) Eno, RobertA survey of the Qin Dynasty, from the eve of its unification of China through its rapid fall after the death of the First Emperor. The focus of the chapter is the extensive nature of the "Qin Revolution," the radical reforms that redrew the political and social map of China in ways that endured for two millennia. This analysis is interspersed with short translated and summarized narratives from the Shiji, focusing on the First Emperor, his prime minister, Li Si, and others who played key roles.Item 4.8 Huang-Lao Ideology(2010) Eno, RobertA discussion of the major features of Huang-Lao thought, the state-sponsored ideology of the early Han Dynasty. Specific points are highlighted as comments on translations of the Huang-Lao text, "Four Classics of the Yellow Emperor," excavated at the Mawangdui archaeological site in 1973.Item 1.8 Zhou Ritual Culture and Its Rationalization(2010) Eno, RobertA description of Zhou ritual, with short passages translated from the Yili and Liji.Item 4.11 The Spring and Autumn Annals(2010) Eno, RobertAn introduction to the Spring and Autumn Annals, one of the "Five Classics" of Confucianism. The origin of the text is outlined, along with various traditional strategies for drawing from it hidden meaning that is actually generated by the strategy, rather than by the text itself. The "New Text" interpretive approach of Dong Zhongzhu is described and illustrated by selected passages, accompanied by "New Text" Gongyang commentarial tradition of the late Han.Item 1.3 The Legendary Emperors(2010) Eno, RobertA translation of the Shiji (ch. 1) narrative of prehistoric rulers in China, and of the Shangshu chapter, "Canon of Yao," which incorporates with in it a "Canon of Shun," Yao and Shun being the initial sage rulers of China in one version of historical narrative current during the Classical period.
