This volume brings together fourteen essays that explore the role of hiddenness--as both an object and a mode of representation--in the history of cultural production in China from the Warring States Period (403-221 BCE) to the end of the Qing Dynasty (1911) and beyond. The rhetorical use of various forms of hiddenness makes its appearance in literary, political, philosophical, and religious writings, as well as in the visual arts. Working in fields as disparate as traditional Chinese literature, religion, philosophy, history, medicine, and art, the contributors attempt to characterize one of the fundamental signifying practices in traditional Chinese cultural production. In the process, they not only reveal otherwise obscure patterns connecting longstanding social, political, aesthetic, and epistemological practices, but also contribute to ongoing discussions--well beyond the field of China studies--regarding the representation and communicability of knowledge, as well as the practices controlling its dissemination"--From publisher's website. 648 7 221 B.C.-1912 A.D. |2fast 650 0 Rhetoric |zChina |xHistory. 650 0 Secrecy |zChina |xHistory. 650 0 Hiding places |zChina |xHistory. 650 0 Knowledge, Theory of. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85072732 650 7 Hiding places. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00955967 650 7 Intellectual life. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00975769 650 7 Knowledge, Theory of. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00988194 650 7 Rhetoric. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01096948 650 7 Secrecy. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01110644 651 0 China |xIntellectual life |y221 B.C.-960 A.D. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85024141 651 0 China |xIntellectual life |y960-1644. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85024142 651 0 China |xIntellectual life |y1644-1912. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85024143 651 7 China. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01206073 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 Varsano, Paula M., |eeditor. 830 0 SUNY series in Chinese philosophy and culture 852 0 |bf |hDS727 |i.R48 2016 902 yj |bs |6a |7m |dv |f1 |e20170222 904 yj |ba |hm |cb |e20170222 914 (OCoLC)ocn946967839 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240508 |eprocessed |f946967839
