"Eleventh-century scholars living in China were the first people in world history to systematically excavate, illustrate, and document ancient artifacts. The methods they developed to record these "traces" of the past-the most celebrated being bronze ritual vessels that had been cast nearly two thousand years earlier-laid the foundations for the empirical systems that scholars throughout early modern East Asia would use to make sense of the world. Nominal Things explains how the scholars who studied these bronzes struggled to understand the relationship between their complex shapes and décor and the ancient glyphs inscribed into their bodies. As they deciphered these glyphs, they came to realize that the bronzes were "nominal things"--objects inscribed with the names of the categories to which they belonged: cauldrons inscribed with the word "cauldron" (ding), ewers inscribed with the word "ewer" (yi), and so forth. The scholars knew those names from hallowed Confucian writings that had been passed down through the centuries, but shockingly, the things they thought those names referred to looked nothing like the bronzes upon which the names were found. Nominal Things traces the process whereby a distinctive East Asian tradition of empiricism was nurtured by this discrepancy between the complex, "garrulous" materiality of the bronzes and the solemn, written liturgies into which Confucian ritualists sought to inscribe them" Bronzes China Bronze implements China Bronze implements China Classification History To 1500 Art criticism China History To 1500 Learning and scholarship China History To 1500 Confucianism China Civilization 960-1644 China Intellectual life g (DE-588)4009937-4 (DE-627)104289031 (DE-576)208885382 China gnd z gnd Geschichte 1000-1100 (DE-627) 9780226822471 (ebook) Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe Moser, Jeffrey Nominal things Chicago : The University of Chicago Press, 2023 1 Online-Ressource (293 Seiten) (DE-627)1837158517 9780226822471 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe Moser, Jeffrey Nominal Things Chicago : The University of Chicago Press, 2023 1 Online-Ressource (292 pages) (DE-627)1843507730 9780226822471 Rezensiert in Grimberg, Phillip, 1980 - [Rezension von: Jeffrey Moser, Nominal things, bronzes in the making of medieval China] 2024 (DE-627)1912195097 http://www.gbv.de/dms/bowker/toc/9780226822464.pdf 2023-07-28 Aggregator Inhaltsverzeichnis 1 BO China Geschichte 1000-1100 Rezensiertes Werk KXP-PPN1807978664 4639109598
