Hey there to all our new friends on here! I‘m Markus Samuel Haselbeck and I‘m currently in the last year of my PhD at KU Leuven. I specifically work on revenge in Gongyang #Confucianism (公羊學) from the Warring States until now, but I‘m interested in #ChinesePhilosophy at large (Esp Mozi and Zhuangzi)
Their research article on the IMMARKUS tool will also come out in a few days, so stay updated on their InfraLives project! #Sinology
Had the chance to join a workshop on image annotation in IMMARKUS led by @hildedw.bsky.social, Rainer Simon, Sunkyu Lee, and Dawn Zhuang today. This was great fun and definitely a tool I will use when working with visual media and texts in the future! #digitalhumanities
Thanks, I hope you’ll enjoy reading it.
Thanks a lot! It was a very enjoyable adventure writing on Li Zhi! His and his successors‘ ideas are always super exciting to study, so I hope I’ve done them justice in the article.
Today, I have finally received my author copy of Chinese Philosophy and Its Thinkers to which I contributed a 15-page chapter on Li Zhi #李贄 and the thinkers surrounding him together with Phillip Grimberg. #ChinesePhilosophy #Sinology
Now back to focusing on the last stretch toward finishing my dissertation! And of course it's my last presentation as a PhD student.
Lots of engaged questions and helpful criticism for what was possibly my last conference presentation as a PhD. Thanks to all who joined my talk on Kang Youwei's #康有為 notion of inner sageliness and outer kingliness #內聖外王 as presented in the preface to his lost 大學注!
Already excited for what is probably my last conference presentation of the year on Thursday. Moving to Kang Youwei's notion of neisheng and waiwang #內聖外王 for it. #sinology #ChinesePhilosophy #ChineseHistory #EarlyChina #ModernChina #公羊學
Had the chance to present my analysis of Jiang Qing's #蔣慶 notion of revenge and its roots in Kang Youwei's #康有為, Liao Ping's #廖平, and Chen Zhu's #陳柱 ideas at FAU Erlangen's #DeutscherOrientalistentag yesterday. Thanks to my colleagues for the great panel!
Congratulations! All the best for the preparations for your oral defense.

Handed in my #dissertation @fau.de today! It's on its way to #Erlangen now.
My thesis concerns commentarial practices in early imperial (Han 漢) China, analysing Zheng Xuan's 鄭玄 commentary to the Liji 禮記. #chinesehistory #sinology #chinesestudies #commentary #philology #ritual #hermeneutics
Still rather on the expensive side, but the paperback is coming out later this year.
Possibly any of the passages where the roles between Confucius, ”the master,“ and other people are reversed could be interesting for this. Like, when he wants to learn from Yan Hui how to ”sit and forget“ 坐忘 or when Confucius only understands the 内 but not the 外 at a funeral of three friends.
I once taught some Analects and then switched to Robber Zhi and compared the different Confucius depictions in the two. Students loved it and it taught them about the shared Cultural memory various Chinese schools of thought similarly draw from. Fun class!
And in the end, this work, which is now almost 3000 pages long in the #中華書局 edition, wasn't even printed during his life time... Where do these people take their motivation from? Incredible! #ChinesePhilosophy #Philology #AncientChina #EarlyChina #Sinology
Not only are forty years an incredible amount of time, but the work amounted to 70(!) juan in the end. If that wasn't enough, Chen even compiled the #白虎通疏證 of 12 juan as a supporting work for the #公羊義疏, a huge contribution to Late Imperial China's Gongyang scholarship.
In the collection of his miscellaneous writings, there is a quote, where Chen states: "I, Li, diligently worked on the Gongyang subcommentary for forty years, approaching [this process] by merely gathering [sources] and completing [it] with a manuscript of more than 70 juan."
Chen Li passed away at the age of 60 but it is unclear, when he finished compiling the work (if he truly did finish during his lifetime). This led some scholars to believe Chen had worked on the compilation for even a whole 40 years!
I'm always so amazed by how long people can work on a single project/book. A similar case is Chen Li #陳立 who worked on his 公羊義疏 for at least thirty years. Unhappy with what Xu Yan #徐彥 did during the Tang, he began compiling this massive subcommentary around the age of 20.
Since New Text Confucianism pretty much died out after the Han, the Old Text position became orthodoxy until the end of Imperial China. (Only during the Mid-Qing did scholars rediscover New Text Confucianism)

I have no clue, but as a badass, maybe number 10 would be his jun 君, the Emperor?
her parents, her siblings, and their kids and siblings).

Depending on which interpretation one uses, this leads to a very different group of family members that one has to take revenge for. #EarlyChina #ChinesePhilosophy #Sinology
interpretation of the #Baihutong #白虎通. This understands the term as describing four generations on one's fathers side (father and his parents, his other kids and siblings, their kids and siblings, and their kids and siblings), three generations on one's mother's side (mother
But what are those Nine grades of kinship? While Old Text Confucianism #古文學 understands it as reaching four generations back and four generations onward, surrounding oneself (from great-great-grandfather to great-great-grandson), New Text Confucianism #今文學 followed the
