Dear students, this is the homework of Sep 28, due in October 2020.

Task

An English book on contemporary Chinese literature was submitted to the Chinese editor. He has not enough time and asks his students to help to translate it paragraph by paragraph into Chinese. So this time it is easier than last time, because the translation is into Chinese. He also asks the students to help improve the translation of at least one fellow student und asks them to sign their translations with the signature button (buttons on the top, third from right).

Since it is a book on contemporary Chinese literature, some quotations from Chinese novels in English need to be identified in the original language (Chinese) instead of retranslate the translations into Chinese.

Cao Runxin 曹润鑫

The Chinese contemporary literature at the beginning of the 21st century appears hardly compatible with the German book market. Many stories of the mostly young writers from the Middle Kingdom, who are often celebrated like pop stars, publish their books partly in millions of copies, such as Guo Jingming郭敬明, seem too bizarre. This cult literature is translatable, however loses its cult status.

Chang Huiyue 常慧月

Nevertheless, trends can be seen that reflect the extreme social upheaval process in China: Zhang Ailing 张爱玲 created women's literature with the inner view of the Shanghaier big city singles, for example, which has found a whole generation of successors. Or the vagabond literature (liumang wenxue 学 文学) of a Wang Shuo, which has become long since an establishment and whose current is attributable to the scandal literature.

Chen Han 陈涵

The wave of nostalgia with new interpretations of classics such as Confucius, Menzius, or the novel "Three Kingdoms," e.g. from the professor and television presenter Yu Dan. Finally, the young, realistic literature with autobiographical traits and fictive elements of an alienated urban youth, which ultimately seeks the happiness of love between alcohol, drugs and party excesses. This literature certainly belongs to youth literature, since the protagonists belong to the younger generation. The authors themselves remain ephimatic, as long as they have not made the leap into the establishment, as Mian Mian.

Chen Hui 陈惠

Surprising newcomer is the author Han Han, known for his critique of youth literature, who is bearing a humorous social criticism in his new work »Glory Days«, about a group of drop-outs in the style of Magical Realism, or almost a critical Surrealism. A colorful dance, which tells from another world, no longer as exotic as before, but still strange and fascinating.

Chen Jiangning 陈江宁

Before the Frankfurt Book Fair 2009, this little booklet will give an orientation guide and a small, certainly very subjective overview of the Chinese literature, as it appears at the book fair. 在2009年法兰克福图书展之前，这本小册子将会提供一个入门介绍，同时也会给予一个小小的，主观性十足的中国文学概述，这是毋庸置疑的，就像它在书展上展示的那样。--Chen Jiangning (talk) 08:39, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

在举办2009法兰克福图书展之前，这本小册子将对展会进行一个初步介绍，并呈现给人们一个小小的、颇具主观性的中国文学概要，就像图书展会上展现的那样。--Chen Sunfu (talk) 12:51, 2 October 2020 (UTC) 在2009年法兰克福图书展之前，这本小册子会提供一个入门介绍，并呈现中国文学泛泛而十分主观的概况，就像其在书展上展示的那样。--Liu Zhiwei (talk) 02:40, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Chen Jiaxin 陈佳欣

Who is also interested in the actual Chinese literature of the present day (because the book fair shows a section, which for various reasons is not at all representative of the Chinese contemporary literary literature) should be referred to the book "Chinese Cult Literature 2008/2009".

Chinese literature at the Frankfurt Book Fair

China - the big department store

With China's economic prosperity since 1978 came the leisure time. Unlike in Western countries, where this time has been filled with consumption, the new middle class of the Chinese use their leisure time in two ways:

Chen Sha 陈莎

On the one hand, one has an irresistible ambition to catch up with the Western advance in time-lapse, to learn from the West and to overcome it, which is reflected in travel, learning English and foreign studies. Even at the party school management courses are taught.

Chen Sunfu 谌孙福

On the other hand, according to the zero point of the Cultural Revolution, ten years without school education in 1966-1976, the Chinese have a greed for knowledge - they devour Internet, newspapers, books and are willing to pay enormous fees for private schools.

另一方面，以十年文革（即1966年-1976年这十年间学校教育停滞不前）为基准点，中国人渴求获得知识-他们如饥似渴地浏览网页、报纸和各类书籍，愿意花重金上私立学校。--Chen Sunfu (talk) 12:34, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

另一方面，经历文革十年（1966-1976）教育缺席的中国人求知若渴——他们如饥似渴地学习互联网，阅读报纸书籍，甚至愿意花一大笔钱去上私立学校。--Shi Diwen (talk) 13:14, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

另一方面，由于文化大革命（1966-1976）使得中国在这期间没有学校教育，受教育程度变得极低。但是中国人极度渴望从网络，报纸，书本获得知识，他们不惜花巨款去私立学校。--Han Haiyang (talk) 04:16, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Chen Yongxiang 陈永相

Both trends in leisure design coincide with a flood of translations into Chinese.

Cheng Yusi 成于思

The situation in Western countries is quite different, the interest for China is rather an exotic and reflectes in esotericism and few works that are translated. These are then selected to serve or even enhance the foreign character of the Chinese image. One still believes in the West, as the pioneer of modernization it is the place where the action is happening.

Deng Jinxia 邓锦霞

Newspapers are not yet as exciting as in Hong Kong and Japan because of the state information monopoly in China and so one reads in the subway no newspapers but books. China is just different. The books cost only 2 € to 3.50 € and sometimes reach millions of copies. And this, although the texts are long before on the Internet. Some authors have even found a publisher only after having a fanbase of their blog on the Internet.

Ding Daifeng 丁代凤

Cult literature

The Chinese bestsellers of contemporary literature of 2009 appear to be hardly compatible with the German book market, in which China is honorary guest of the Frankfurt Book Fair. Many stories of the mostly young, often celebrated like pop stars writers from the Middle Kingdom appear to be too bizarre, with their books partly written in millions, like Guo Jingming (26 years, Shanghaier, Tears against the Stream C 2007, first place of the Chinese bestseller list 2007, circulation: 550,000). Without life experience, Ms. Lin Huafeng has to raise her daughter alone after the divorce. She has to prostitute herself and her mental conflict worsens daily. The author, the Shanghai student Guo Jingming is a cultureless enfant terrible, but loved by the youth. What bears his name is immediately sold out. In the meantime, he has given his name to works by colleagues, and his book series best sellers (C 2008-2009) is a collage of love tales, comics, photographs, styling tips, etc., wrapped in foil so that all the gimmicks do not Fall out. Here, the advertising of the proper lipstick is added to the story. This cult literature is a teen phenomenon, the authors of this youth literature are pop stars. It is translatable, but however it loses the cult status. The German publishers have not chosen the books which the Chinese read, but the German readers might find interesting. In this article, these books, which are only available at the Book Fair from October, are already being presented.

Chinese world literature

This is the famous wedding scene from the novel "Dream of the Red Chamber" (C 1759 G 2009) by Cao Xueqin (1715-1763?). This was the last novel of world rank written in China, and this is 250 years ago. The novel is available in all major languages, and in German only a shortened paraphrase has been written down to one third. This shortcoming is fixed by the book fair: the European University Press presents a three-volume bound edition of books with more than 200 historical illustrations and a more favorable paperback edition of 2350 pages at the book fair. It was only in the 1920s and 1930s that the literature in China in times of the republic was able to develop again, and Lu Xun's stories from this period are reissued from the publishing house Unionverlag to the book fair. Another classic, Qian Zhongshus (1910-1998) essay collection "Written on the Edge of Life" (C 2000), is translated but is still searching for a publisher. Masterful tales are certainly also Yu Huas (49) "Brothers" (C 2005).

Gan Fengyu 甘奉玉

Vagabond literature

"Diwidi? Everything there: Hollywood, Japanese, Korean, Oscar-crowned classics ", The German reader as a tourist in Peking may have been approached like this by the flying merchants.

Gao Mingzhu 高明珠

This scene comes from the story "Running Through Zhongguancun" (C 2008, G 2009). Here the German reader can slip for the first time into the role of the seller, who is embodied by the 25-year-old Huang. Xu Zechen (31, lives in Beijing) has drawn the milieu authentically, the characters with dry humor and yet refreshingly lively. He describes a life between hot pavement and basement hole, between the dream of making big money and bitter setbacks, the daily cat-and-mouse game with the police. He experiences the world of the crooks as shark pond and as a conspiratorial community, in which everyone gives someone the shirt off one’s back, lose their existence, but get up again, he experiences the arbitrariness and corruption of the police. Here, worlds collide: the army of unemployed agricultural workers, who become small-scale criminals, and the urban population. The world of youth, who loves the freedom of the street, and the elderly, who appreciate the security of the wealth. This is one of the most recent and most promising stories from China, which show us a completely different China than the perfectly enacted Olympia organizer.

Gong Yumian 龚钰冕

The novel "Die Taschendiebe" also fits into this realistic (C 2007, G 2009), Liu Zhenyuns (51), who was ranked No. 1 in the bestseller list in China in 2008, is a mix-up thriller about a interchanged bag, whose content can become dangerous for several important people. These types of stories appear several times at the book fair. In China, they are devoured by the young, urban audience. Wang Shuo (50) had created this kind of vagabond literatur, and his novel "Playing for Thrills" was sold 250,000 times in 2007, and stayed in place 6. One is getting deeper into storytelling with Jia Pingwa’s novel "Happy" (C 2007), which is about a farmer who sells his kidney to the city and finds a brittle happiness with a prostitute. It was sold in China 100,000 times. His even more famous novel "Ruined City" (C 1993) is also almost completely translated and is still looking for a publisher in Germany.

Gu Dongfang 顾东方

Critical Surrealism

This quotation comes from the story "Glory Days" (C 2007 G 2010) of another young author, Han Han (26). He describes the experiences of a Chinese dropout troop. Han Han enjoys a similar cult status as the same-aged Guo Jingming. He is equally famous as a critical blogger, sings his own pop songs (ghost town strategy), and drives car racings on the weekend. He also wrote his first stories as a pupil (Triple Door C 2000), became famous through a literature casting, writes humorously with a pointed pen, hardly anyone has got what was coming to one. In the 1990s, with his "critical student literature", he provoked a teenage fever, brought out a sociocritical humorous novel with "Glory Days", which sold itself in 2007 with others of his books about 200,000 times and thus ranked 13th Of the Chinese bestseller list. The author says he wanted to write in the style of "Magical Realism" for the first time, the novel is very angry humorous, sociocritical and grotesque in some places, it can be better described as Critical Surrealism. His latest book, "His Kingdom" (C 2009), ranked first place in the Chinese bestseller list in April 2009.

Guan Qinqing 管钦清

Underground literature

... so writes Mian Mian (38 years old, lives in Shanghai, "La la la" HK 1997, G 2000, C 2009, "Your night my day" G 2004, C 2009). With her revealing description of her own life as a partygirl, she has shaped the Shanghai youth, Mian Mian has become a lifestyle. Ultimately she also seeks the happiness of love. She was the first to write about sex, drugs and alcohol, and was promptly banned in China. Therefore it is remarkable that the KiWi publishing house is brave enough to present her latest novel Panda Sex (C 2009, G 2009) at the book fair. Also in France her novel came out and was immediately praised by the daily newspaper "Le Monde". And even in China times change: her last four novels were finally released in February 2009 and were sold out immediately.

Yearnings

Literature of yearning has a great market in China. With this literature one can escape the materialistic everyday life in order to be carried away into an exotic but strangely familiar world. This literature of yearning is served by two sides in China: through the Tibet exoticism and the nostalgic wave. And Tibet is a topic that is well received abroad, therefore a safe investment for publishers, even though the stories from Tibet may still be too exotic and do not show the true Tibet. Also in China, Tibet is simply ‚in’. The presentation of the own Lama's shrine in the bedroom is the highlight of every house party. Even men wear carved cherry stone bracelets. The more superstition associated with these fetishes, the more chic.

Guo Lu 郭露

Tibet exoticism

so the story "Distant Sources" (C 2005, Unionsverlag G 2009) by the Tibetan author Alai (50) begins. Yes, even Tibetan authors are among the winners of this year's book fair. They are particularly in demand by Swiss publishers. At the confederate Chinabooks several young Tibetans are represented: Alai, Jamyang, Taering Öser, Tenzin Tsundue (34). Is it surprising that Ma Jian (56), who left Beijing for the first time and went on journeys, promptly went on a pilgrim to Tibet? "Red Dust"(C 2003). 220,000 times, the "Tibet-Code" of the hermitic He Ma, which has not yet been published in German, has sold itself, followed by three sequels. Gao Yi, who lives in Düsseldorf, writes adventure stories as well with Tibet exoticism and fantastic elements: "The Tibetan Child", "The Oracle" and "The Roman Ring" (C 2004). At the same time, a flood of nonfiction books about Tibet appears in German-speaking countries, often with mysterious titles such as "The Secret Life of the Dalai Lamas. The Story of the God-kings of Tibet "(G 2007, PB 2009)," Fleeing through Ice and Snow "," The Way of the White Clouds"or " Escape from Tibet".

Nostalgia

Through China flows a nostalgic wave, the overthrown Communist ideology has been replaced by the return to traditional values. In 1974 Confucius had been dismantled in a campaign, since 2007 Confucius institutes have been opened all over the world. Also on the bestseller lists this literature stands at the top. The professor Yu Dan (Beijing) interpreted Confucius in a television series. Her book "Confucius from the Heart" (C 2006, G 21.08.2009) with modern commentaries around the Confucius classics "Talks" landed in China with 503,000 sold copies in 2007. It makes Confucius in simple language, with lively pictures and Current examples from everyday life. Since the trend in China goes to the second book, i. That a second book of the same kind is being postponed to a successful book, she continued to comment on the philosopher Menzius. Does this commentary also work in Germany, where one hardly knows the original texts? At the book fair, the Confucius commentary is also available, the Droemer publishing house has taken the risk and presents the comment in German translation, but not as in the Chinese edition with original text in the appendix. This nostalgia literature in China also includes comments on the classic novel "Three Kingdoms" (C 2006) by Yi Zhongtian (62), which ended up in 2007 with 340,000 copies of the bestseller list, the historical novel about the last imperial dynasty. “The Qing Prime Minister” (C 2007) by Wang Yuewen (46) and "War Drums" (C 2006) by Dou Liang (55) about old Beijing, all of them had at least 200,000 sold copies in 2007.

怀旧风

中国正掀起一波怀旧浪潮。传统价值观的回归代替了已经推翻的共产主义意识形态。1974年，孔学在一场运动中逐渐推出历史舞台，但是从2007年开始，孔子学院已向全世界开放。同时孔学相关书籍也在畅销书的榜首。于丹教授（北京）把孔子翻拍成了电视剧。她的书《论语心得》（C 2006, G21.08.2009）带有孔学经典《论语》的现代评论2017年在大陆发售已超过503，000册。这本书使得孔学理论以一种简单的语言，生动的图片和日常生活的例子呈现出来。自从这孔学潮流在中国推出了第二本书，i. 相同类型的第二本书的成功销量是要晚一些。于丹继续在考究着哲学家孟子。是否这种评论会在德国起到相同的效应呢，毕竟德国对原著几乎都不了解？在书会上，可以见到孔学评论相关书的身影，德语出版社冒险展出了其德语版本，但是和中文版本不同的是在附录上没有原文。这种怀旧文学在中国还包括了易中天（62）的评论关于经典小说《三国志》（C 2006），一部描述最后一个帝王朝代的历史小说，其销量在2007畅销排行榜年达到了340，000册。 王跃文（46）的《秦始皇》和窦亮（55）描写老北京的《战鼓》（C 2006），一共销售了200，000册在2007年。--Han Haiyang (talk) 03:32, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Han Wanzhen 韩宛真

Women's literature

The literature of the mega cities looks different in Beijing and Shanghai: just as in Beijing, the vagabond literature of a Wang Shuo is at home, Shanghai also developed with Zhang Ailing (1920-1995) her own literature, in this case an autobiographical literature of women that describes the emotional life of Shanghai single women. Mian Mian is the latest appearance of this woman literature, although her female figures often seem to depend on their partners. However, Mian Mian is the only female writer that is taken seriously and translated for the book fair. In "Frauenboxen" by Bi Shumin (57) the female figures seem, as the title suggests, more self-consciously, therefore the book has been sold 180,000 times. Her feminine novel "Female Psychologist" (C 2007) was so successful that several volumes were published. On the bestseller list, she is closely followed by Annie Baobei (34), with 175,000 first-person narrations sold, under the title "Fat years, meager years" (C 2007), in which the young women see the world with their own eyes. With 160,000 copies follows the marriage counselor follows "Holding Hands " (C 2007) of Wang Hailing (55).

大城市的文学作品，像北京和上海，是大不相同的：就比如说在北京有王朔的痞子文学；而在上海流行的是张爱玲的文学小说，这种文学属于女性自传文学，主要描述了上海单身女性的情感生活。棉棉是女性文学代表人物的新兴面孔，尽管她所塑造的女性角色看起来似乎非常依赖她们的伴侣。然而，她是唯一一个认真对待书展，并且为书展做翻译的女性作家。在毕淑敏的作品《女性》中，女性人物的形象正如标题一样似乎显得更有自我意识，因此这本书畅销18万次。毕淑敏的女性小说《女心理家》（C 2007)创作地非常成功，因此出版了很多册。在畅销书单列表中，紧随其后的是安妮宝贝，她的第一人称叙述小说热销175000本，其中有一本叫《素年锦时》，主要讲述了年轻的女性用她们自己的视角看待世界。王海鸰的《牵手》成为了婚姻顾问的参考指导书，160000本复印版下发至婚姻顾问。--Han Wanzhen (talk) 03:56, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

He Changqi 何长琦

Literature of mental distress

Finally, there is still the literature of mental distress, mastermind Mo Yan has pointed out abysses of human behavior in his "Sandalwood Death" (C 2001). The framework is the German colonial history in China, the railway construction and the revolt of the boxer. Mo Yan describes a fictitious story in which Guomindang General Yuan Shikai, with the last imperial headman, wants to conduct a cruel execution by torture against a man who rebelled after his family had previously been desecrated and killed by Germans. Contrasted with this, Mo Yan portrays the last opera singer of the Maoqiang local opera from the region around Gaomi. The language is pathetic, symbolic and emotionally charged. The description of the inner conflict of the physician, who is told to keep the victim alive until the German colonizers see him, is shattered. His only advice "Remove the sandalwood!" is not obeyed, since this is precisely the torture. In this book the search for a translator was more difficult than usual, thanks to Chinese government-funded support, it was finally realized at the publishing house Insel-Verlag. Equally doubtful is the wisdom, which may result from the influential book "Wolf Totem" (C 2004 G 2009) by Jiang Rong (63), since the author wants to explain the Chinese people's folklore:

Hu Baihui 胡百辉

This also means hope for freedom and democracy. A good adventure novel, but the moral of the story, natural laws instead of civilization, in today's materialistic Chinese reality the wrong advice. The book is stagnating in the middle of the bestseller lists in China, but remains there until 2008. It was heavily advertised, Random House paid for the German edition 20,000 € in license rights after Goldblatt had laid for the English 100,000 USD - somehow the investion has to roll in and so it is called in the advertising texts "The most successful book since the Mao Bible" - this decision is left to the reader.

Discrepancy Chinese Literature - Book Fair

All these currents will be represented at the Frankfurt Book Fair. Some of them are preparing to refute the withering verdict of the sinologist Wolfgang Kubin from 2006, who referred to the Chinese literature since 1949 as "garbage" and especially attacked writers like Mian Mian, making her one of the most controversial writers. Although she has long been forbidden in China, had no benefits from the Chinese government's promotion of translation, and does not belong to the carefully selected semioffical writers' delegation, besides the short story "Running Through Zhongguancun", narratives such as "Brothers", "Taschendiebe" and perhaps a classic like "Dream of the Red Chamber", will be Mian Mian's book "Panda Sex" one of the bestseller of the book fair. In the following editions we will introduce individual authors and currents and begin with her - Mian Mian.

Hu Jin 胡瑾

Bestseller list of Chinese authors 2007

Last update: 9.11.2007, researched and reviewed in note form

In the question of what to understand by contemporary literature, one has to clarify various assumptions:

Ji Tiantian 纪甜甜

Is the complete literature taken into account, or are certain categories of literature excluded? In the current case, we restrict us to literary books (no nonfiction books, for which there are often separate bestseller lists). Thus every objectively well-sold book will be named. It is only in a second step, in the evaluation for the German book market, that children's literature is excluded.

Jiang Fengyi 蒋凤仪

Are the books objectively presented by sales figures? Is this the only criterion for evaluating commercial success? This has the implication that high-minded literature usually ends up further down on the bestseller list as the dime novel. An exception in the West may be e.g. Harry Potter, who has besides his youthful target group, also at least in the English original literary claim.

Jiang Hao 姜好

It is striking that there is hardly any accordance between the list of bestsellers with the list of actually translated literature and also not with the list of government-sponsored translations. The most important reason is that the bestseller list in 2007 is the current literature, as it was read in China at the beginning of 2008. But for the book fair the publishers have commissioned much older books for translation. Only in a few titles is the translation market already as fast as e.g. in the translation of American novels into German, e.g. "Wolf Totem," "Confucius from the Heart," or Mian Mian's "Panda Sex."

Jiang Qiwei 蒋淇玮

This bestseller list and the evaluations were presented at the technical lecture "Rotes Kornfeld" in the German Publishers and Booksellers Association for the Frankfurt book fair on the 29th April 2008, so that the publishers who had sent their lecturers and the other translators could consider the presented titles in the planning. Some of the titles were realized. Others may stay interesting for a later time.

Kang Haoyu 康浩宇

For the development of the number of translations from Chinese I refer to appropriate investigations.

First of all, the full list, followed by the criteria after the list has been cleared with regard to the German book market.

Further recommendations for German publishers for publication

At the translator meeting in Frankfurt, I had recommended two more works, which are not on the current bestseller lists, but which are absolutely necessary to translate and actually appeared at the book fair:

On the one hand, the "secret bestseller", Mian Mian's Panda Sex, which was forbidden in China, appeared in Hong Kong and became a bestseller in China under the shop counter and on the Internet. It was only in February 2009 that a censored version could be published in China, which was sold out immediately after the release.

On the situation of Chinese publications in Germany (selection list before the book fair)

Here is a list of Chinese publications in German translation before the book fair. In 2008, only 11 literary works from Chinese to German were translated.

An important translator is Ulrich Kautz, here some of the translated novels

Unfortunately many translations do not come directly from Chinese, but rather from the indirection of English or French, as one of the more famous novels: Gio Waeckerlin Induni (Transl. f. Fr.) Dai Sijie: Balzac and the little Chinese Seamstress <Piper> 192007

Recent Literary History: "Modern Chinese Literature in Translation - Historical Development and Current Trends"

1. Development

Chinese literature is traditionally received in Germany because of its exoticism (Diederich’s Yellow Series, etc.). In Germany operated especially the exotic translator - with a tremendous amount of translation work: Franz Kuhn. The last great Chinese literature was Dream Of The Red Chamber ca.1760

Liu Ou 刘欧

In the period of the Republic appeared (about 1911-1937) great novels such as Ba Jin: The Family (cf. Buddenbrooks), the end of the Republic saw the beginning of the functionalization of literature (anti - Japanese resistance, civil war parties Guomindang and the Communist Party), intellectuals contributed to the reform with essays, experimental literature was written (Lu Xun: Diary of a Madman and The True Story of Ah Q, which were as revolutionary as Kafka with minimally reduced fictional elements in realistic spelling) and essays (suibi of Zhou Zuoren and socio-critical My Miscellaneous Studies杂文 zawen from his brother Lu Xun).

Liu Yangnuo 刘洋诺

In Communism, the functionalization of literature (tendency literature) and censorship (Ba Jin censored e.g. his novel The Family by himself) lowered the level, which was ultimately left to the cultural revolution, which wanted only a few model pieces to survive.

Liu Yi 刘艺

Today the exoticism begins to disappear for the first time because there is an approximation of the cultural background of the Chinese authors with the international authors, and because the functionalization has been replaced by commercialization (mass literature phenomenon Wang Shuo - but not pure fiction like Konsalik, but rather very socio-critical, language of the youth, unmasking the hollowness of slogans through use in the everyday language).

Liu Yiyu 刘怡瑜

Even within China, literature has become pure consumption, has lost its reputation, and loses itself towards other media consumption (Internet / film / DVD) audience. In the last decades, German publishers have published less Chinese literature, while other media genres, such as the Chinese cinema, have been particularly popular because of the exoticism of the images.

2. Present

In the present, there is a counter-movement to mass literature, such as Shanghai's extreme individualists (Bei Bei, Wei Hui, Mian Mian)

2.1 Another characteristic of contemporary literature is the mass: Helmut Martin estimated that about 800 novels appeared annually at the beginning of the nineties; after 1995 the number had increased to about 1000. In the 1980s, only 100 novels a year!

2. 现在

目前，社会上存在反对大众文学的运动，比如上海的某些极端个人主义者：北北、卫慧、棉棉。

2.1 当代文学的另一个特点是大众化：马汉茂先生曾估算，90年代初每年出版大约800本小说；1995年之后，数量已增加到1000本。而在80年代的时候，每年只有100本！--Liu Zhiwei (talk) 03:42, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

3. Specific problems on the Chinese-German translation process 3.1 Translator = additional filter (further filter: place, possibly time, especially difficult, because great cultural difference)

3.2 Since in Chinese with 413 phoneme combinations only a fraction of what is possible in German is available, phonetic expressions in Chinese sound strangely clumsy for German ears: "汪wāng" instead of the variations in German "Wau" and "Wuff", 喔喔喔wōwōwō" instead of ‘kikeriki’ "as in German and Czech, cf. “kokekoko” in Japanese, "cocorico" in French, "cook-a-doodle-doo" in English,"kuckeliku" in Swedish.

Ma Zhixing 马智星

At the same time the Chinese is essentialy more rhythmically accentuated by the syllable and character structure and the lack of flexion, and because of the numerous homophonies and the tonal system invites to play with the notes. Especially in pre-modern poems, the original song melodies have been lost, and the tone sequences of the reconstructed spoken language at that time are hardly to render adequate with the non-tonal and less rhythmic possibilities in German, especially since rhymed poems in German nowadays seem very antiquated. However, since the effect is important, many translators fall back on the unbounded language. Volker Klöpsch has shown that bounded translations of prehistoric Chinese poems are still not inferior to their unbounded younger sibling translations in the translation quality, since the bounded translations require more effort.

Meng Ying 孟莹

As in the translation from English into German, the brevity of Chinese words presents a problem which can hardly be solved, especially in the case of lyrics. One can just make contractions or e.g. to make one from two stanzas.

Metaphors in Chinese usually have different meanings than in German; in Chinese, symbols, signs, quotations, and allusions are used more frequently than in German to make associations to other poems, historical events or persons.

Mo Ling 莫玲

3.3 Trend: Globalization simplifies translating Kubin complained in 1991, "The average German translator of Chinese literature goes unprepared to work. He is neither trained as a translator, nor does he bring any experience with him. Even a most sympathetic criticism is usually closed, for the goal of having not translated it wrong seems to him the only and highest command, if attained. "

Mo Nan 莫南

However at the beginning of the 21st century the cultural embedding of the translation appears to be more consciously perceived: Due to the overlapping of the experience horizon by traveling and global media experiences, e.g. tragedies such as the tsunami in Southeast Asia, or Hollywood films, which are also known in China, literature is nowadays more easily translatable.

Nie Xiaolou 聂晓楼

Some translators and perhaps even readers share the author's experiences, such as the events in June 1989 or alienation by the anonymisation of the urbanization, thus the cultural distance reduces.

In particular, the backlog of Chinese intellectuals since 1917, which selected themselves national literature at first and translated what was just tangible, but then also the personal experience abroad of these intellectuals during their studies, which flowed into their works, made them to translators of a special kind of culture translators. The same may be true in the other direction for early translators like Franz Kuhn.

Ou Rong 欧蓉

Edward Hall (Beyond culture) ordered in 1976 Chinese culture to be "high-context cultures" and the German to be "low-context cultures". While the history of humanity worldwide is characterized by an intensified coding (documentation, digitization, information exchange, translation, etc.), which has become an overcoding of modern industrial societies since modernization, industrialization and the introduction of dual bookkeeping, at the same time it can be observed that there is a trend that the high-context cultures develop into low-context cultures.

It remains to be noted that the convergence of the horizons of experience and the lifeworlds of the authors, translators and foreign-cultural readers strengthens the intersubjective traceability of the translator's and reader's recipe process. For the translator, the effort for the embedding of non-textual context is thus reduced in the present time.

Xu Zechen - Running Through Zhongguancun "Diwidi? Everything there: Hollywood, Japanese, Korean, Oscar-crowned classics ", The German reader as a tourist in Peking may have been approached like this by the flying merchants. "Suddenly, two policemen emerge and they run, passing the southern gate of the Beijing University [...]. Breathlessly asked the friend ‚Shall we not throw the bag away? If one gets us together with the stolen property, there is really anger!’- But the policemen are just too fat, they should have held their bellies to run fast." This scene comes from the story "Running Through Zhongguancun" (C 2008, G 2009). Here the German reader can slip into the role of the seller for the first time, who is embodied by the 25-year-old Huang. Xu Zechen, 31, lives in Beijing, has created the milieu authentically, the characters with dry humor and yet refreshingly lively. He describes a life between hot pavement and basement hole, between the dream of making big money and bitter setbacks, the daily cat and mouse game with the police. He experiences the world of the crooks as shark pond and as a conspiratorial community, in which everyone gives the shirt off one’s back, lose their existence, but get up again, he experiences the arbitrariness and corruption of policemen. Here, worlds collide: the army of unemployed agricultural workers, who become small-scale criminals, and the urban population. The world of youth, who loves the freedom of the street, and the elderly, who appreciate the security of the wealth. This literature is one of the most recent and most promising stories from China, which shows us a completely different China than the perfectly staged one that the Olympia organizer presents.

Quote "[...] Suddenly, two policemen emerge and they run, passing the southern gate of the Beijing University [...]. Breathlessly asked the friend ‚Shall we not throw the bag away?

Alai: Distant Springs "When I was little, the old nomad Gongbosijia told me about a hot spring in a distant place. This spring became the quintessence of my childhood's longing", so the story "Distant Springs" (C 2005, Unionsverlag G 2009) begins by the Tibetan Author Alai, 50. The novel is written from the perspective of a Tibetan boy who prefers to take care on horses on the Tibetan mountain pasture rather than talking to the villagers in the valley. After hearing of the hot and healing springs, he longs to find them, because he does not feel at home in the village. He discovers his passion for photography and, as a young man, now a district photographer, actually penetrates the sources. Instead of the described springs by the nomad, he finds there an abandoned concrete landscape - a sign of a failed touristic planning.

Yes, even Tibetan authors are among the winners of this year's book fair: They are particularly in demand by Swiss publishers. At the confederate Chinabooks, several young Tibetans are represented: Jamyang, Taering Öser, Tenzin Tsundue and Alai, who comes from northern Sichuan, and who had after his poems and stories a great success with his latest novel "Red Poppies".

Shi Diwen 石迪文

Yu Dan: Confucius from the Heart Yu Dan embodies a new type of female professor: Young (44), boyish, witty and funny - and her specialty is the 2,500-year-old classic "Conversations" of Confucius who was as basic to China as Plato for the West. She fetched the old text from the dust of her study room at the Beijing Normal University and moved into the spotlight of the television headlights. For seven days she was to be seen in state television with her lectures. Her illustrative elucidation of the moral principles on the basis of everyday examples from the present was the subject of discussion in 2006, which was discussed at work. She uses anecdotes and colloquial language. The teachings of Confucius are timeless, like "Do not force anyone to do anything you would not want to do either." Her daughter would also learn a lot more while playing with bottle and lid than with expensive toys. "Not everything from Confucius has yet to tell us something today, I grew up with Confucius and was brought up in a classical way and that makes me believe in myself." The book "Confucius from the Heart" emerged the second place on the bestseller list in 2007 with 503.000 sold copies. Meanwhile, she has reached the million, other statistics, which the author has not been able to confirm, speak of more than ten million of pirated material.

And since the trend in China goes towards the second book, thia means, that a successful book is followed by a second similar one, she produced another commentary to the philosopher Zhuangzi in 2007. Yu Dan is so successful because she is both a Confucius researcher and an employee in the arts and media institute.

于丹：《论语心得》 于丹展现了新一代女性研究者的风貌：年轻（44），孩子气但又充满智慧，性格有趣。她学习孔子，也就是古代中国那位可以媲美西方柏拉图的智者，并专门研究2500年前记录下来的孔子经典语录。从北京师范大学中布满灰尘的书房里取得语录老本，她将之带到了电视荧幕中的聚光灯下，并连续七天开展讲座。2006年，她以日常事件为例，对孔子推崇的道德观念进行解说，这成为了年度话题，甚至工作时也被讨论。她口语化的语言写书，谈及轶事。孔子的教诲是永不过时的， 比如说那句“己所不欲，勿施于人”。她的女儿在玩瓶子和瓶盖时比玩昂贵玩具懂得更多。“并非所有孔子的思想有待在当下给予我们一些教诲，我从小就学习孔子，是在传统文化教育下长大的，这样的教育经历让我相信自己。”《论语心得》这本书在2007年的畅销书榜中排第二，销售量达五百三千万。同时，她成为了百万富翁，另有数据说她坐拥千万以上的财产，但后者并未得到本人证实。

自这本书掀起时代潮流起，不断有人对此模仿，于丹在2007年写了一部对另一位古代中国哲学家庄子的评论。于丹如此成功，因为她既是孔子的研究者，又是艺术和多媒体领域的宠儿。--Shi Diwen (talk) 11:26, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Shi Haiyao 石海瑶

She likes to open theatrically an arbitrary passage in the "Analects of Confucius" and provides an improvised interpretation, like a modern preacher. This has also given her some criticism from Confucius researchers who see the historical context and political implications neglected in favor of a soft-washed, harmonious Confucianism.

Why is Confucius so successful in China today? Yu Dan with the return to the common uber-father, certainly gives a new orientation in a disillusioned, materialistic time, as she herself says. In 1974, Confucius had been dismantled in a campaign and waved aside as "conservative" and "overhauled" in the last decades. Now, especially middle class and retirees discover Confucius new. Confucius is a cult, there is a whole advertising industry with devotional objects and sculptures, his place of birth Qufu is a place of pilgrimage and tourist magnet, cultural institutions all over the world bear his name since 2007. In fact, the Chinese also share Confucian values with other Asian countries: humanity, piety / loyality and social responsibility, and care of the fittest for the weaker.

Does this popular scientific commentary literature also work in Germany, where one hardly knows the original texts? Droemer Publishing House took this risk, which put the translator Johannes Fiederling, whose first major literary translation it is, in special problems. As a solution, the publisher has announced that the original "Analects of Confucius" will be printed in the back of the book as soon as it enters the bookstores on the 21st of August, 2009.

Si Yu 司妤

Indeed Yu Dan stayed young, she likes listening to pop music by Jay Chow and "Mother Nanquan" and is the head of the "I want fun" club at the art and media institute of the Beijing Normal University.

Yu Dan had certainly predecessors, for instance when modern writers such as Liu Xinwu or Wang Meng criticized the classic "Dream of the Red Chamber". But she has found a series of imitators that deal with classical subjects - a nostalgic wave is currently swashing through China. In place of the reconditioned Communist ideology, the return to traditional values has taken place. Also on the bestseller lists this literature stands at the top.

This nostalgia literature in China also includes comments on the classic novel "Three Kingdoms" (C 2006) by Yi Zhongtian (62), which ended up in 2007 with 340,000 copies on the third place of the bestseller list, the historical novel about the last imperial dynasty "The Qing Prime Minister" (C 2007) by Wang Yuewen (46) and "War Drums in Beijing" (C 2006) by Dou Liang (55) about old Beijing, all of them with at least 200,000 sold copies in 2007.

Cao Xueqin: Dream of the Red Chamber The wedding is sealed, the veil is lifted - but not the beloved comes in sight, but a good friend. This is the key scene in China's most famous novel "Dream of the Red Chamber", which leads the eternal bestseller list and is for the first time completely in German available. He abducts the reader into a largely untouched, authentic China: the one of the last imperial dynasty 250 years ago. He describes the life at the imperial court like the one of the servants, it is at the same time a soap opera,a generation novel, a crime novel, a love story and a Buddhist parable.

The author writes so poignantly, because he describes his own life. In a paradise-like garden, he and his twelve cousins grow up carefree, with two developing a triangular relationship. But the large family falls apart, the cousins marry and leave the garden. The tide is turning only when the protagonist passes the examination of officials. In the novel, the Emperor is impressed and returns titles and countries, in real life the author receives a modest pension, writes to the novel until shortly before his death and dies as a hermit.

In China the novel has become immortal with numerous book editions, film adaptations and own research tradition. The upcoming re-filming was a casting event. Every Chinese knows the main characters of the novel and can name their favorites.

曹雪芹：《红楼梦》 订了婚，掀起盖头---呈现在眼前的不是心爱的那个人，而是一位好朋友。这是中国颇具盛名的小说《红楼梦》的经典场景，这一幕使得这部畅销书经久不衰，也让这部小说第一次在德国全本出版。他使读者认识到一个地域辽阔、未经踏染、原汁原味的中国：250年前的最后一个封建王朝。他描写得宫廷生活，好像他就是其中的仆人。此外，这部小说还是一部肥皂剧、一本古代小说、一部犯罪小说、一个爱情故事和一个佛教寓言故事。

作者写得如此令人感伤，是因为他在描写自己的亲身经历。在天堂般的乐园里，他与十二个姐妹无忧无虑地长大，与其中两位发展了一段三角恋关系。然而随着姐妹们远嫁他乡，这个大家庭变得四分五裂。小说的高潮在主人公通过科举考试时展开。小说中，皇帝深受感动，赏赐了头衔和领地。而现实中作者隐居生活，领着微薄的抚恤金，一直到去世前不久还在写小说。

在中国，这本小说流传至今，出了许多版本，改编成多部电影，形成了自己的研究传统。即将翻拍的电影一直在挑选演员。每个中国人都了解小说里的主要人物，能说出他们的喜好。--Song Jianru (talk) 16:25, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

曹雪芹：《红楼梦》 拜完堂，掀开盖头，却发现眼前之人不是自己心爱之人，而是一位好朋友，此乃中国颇负盛名的小说《红楼梦》的名场面，情节之跌宕让该经典名著经久畅销，也让这部小说第一次在德国全本出版。曹雪芹让读者看到了一个地域辽阔、未经踏染、原汁原味的中国，那是250年前最后一个封建王朝之一。他描写的宫廷生活惟妙惟肖，仿佛自己以仆人的身份感受过一样。该作品既是一部言情肥皂剧、一部清代小说、一部犯罪小说，也是一个爱情故事和一个佛教寓言故事。

作者笔下的文字是如此令人伤感，因为他描写了自己的亲生经历：在一个天堂般的乐园里，他与十二位表姐妹们一起长大，过着无忧无虑的生活，还与其中两位发展了一段三角恋的关系。但是后来随着这些姐妹们远嫁他乡，这个大家庭变得四分五裂。这一反转在主人公中举入仕后开始展开。小说中，皇帝为之动容，赐予了主人公头衔和领地。然而在现实生活中，作者远离尘世，领着微薄的抚恤金，直到去世前不久还在坚持写作。

在中国，《红楼梦》历久弥新，经过无数版本的传承，电影的改编，还拥有了独特的研究领域。影视工作者们还一直为该作品即将再一次的搬上荧幕而挑选角色，因为每位中国人都对小说里的主要人物有所了解，并能说出自己在书中喜欢的角色。--Zeng Fangyuan (talk) 04:41, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Su Lin 苏琳

Yu Hua - Brothers The Beijing Yu Hua was always smiling, always a joke on the lips, but also always a cigarette in the mouth. He has written the sketchy novel "Brothers", which will be available in German at the book fair.

Yu grew up in the country during the cultural revolution. Instead of school lessons, there were denunciation wall newspapers. In this he recognized the power of language and decided to write. He learned from idols like Kafka, Borges and García Márquez to incorporate the fictional into his short stories, but also sex and violence and so he quickly became famous. He wrote one decade at a historical novel, but abandoned it when he saw the extreme changes in China to capture these opposites with the novel "Brothers".

The father of the two brothers, who Yu describes, got killed by the masses in the cultural revolution. The two brothers could hardly develop more differently: The younger brother, Li Guangtou, had been successful with beauty contests for virgins and the sale of used Japanese suits. The older one, Song Gang, works in a public corporation and believes he has a crisis-proof job until he gets discharged. Now he is also trying to be an 'entrepreneur', he lets his breast enlarge surgically to sell peasant gel, which should supposedly enlarge the breast However, he fails and commits suicide. 余华-《兄弟》 余华先生是纯正的北京人，他总是以微笑示人，谈吐也十分幽默，嘴里常常叼着一只香烟。他已经完成了小说《兄弟》的手稿，其德语版即将在书展上出售。 余华于文革时期在农村长大。当时学校里不上课，整天贴大字报搞批斗。从中他认识到了语言的力量，并决定写作。他从偶像卡夫卡，博尔赫斯和加西亚马尔克斯身上学到了将虚构，性和暴力融入自己的短篇小说中，因此他很快就成名了。他用十年写了一部历史小说，但当他亲眼目睹中国的极端变化后，他放弃了这部小说，转而创作小说《兄弟》来表现文革前后的巨大变革。 据余华描述，这两兄弟的父亲在文革时被群众杀害，他俩的发展也完全不同：弟弟李光头在处女选美比赛和二手日本西装的销售上获得了成功。哥哥宋刚原来在一家上市公司工作，他认为自己的工作是“铁饭碗”，可后来还是被解雇了。现在他正努力成为一名“企业家”，为了卖丰胸膏，他还做过隆胸手术。然而他的创业最终还是失败了，之后他便自杀了。--Su Lin (talk) 12:39, 2 October 2020 (UTC)--Su Lin (talk) 12:39, 2 October 2020 (UTC) 余华-《兄弟》 生活在北京的余华脸上常挂着笑容，嘴里总讲着段子，也常含着一支烟。他已经完成小说《兄弟》大概内容，德语版将在书展上出售。 余华在农村长大，当时正处于文革时期。学校不开课，整天贴大字报搞批斗。他从中认识到了语言的力量，并决定写作。从偶像卡夫卡、博尔赫斯和加西亚马尔克斯身上，他学会如何把虚构、性和暴力融入自己的短篇小说中，很快，他就因此成名了。他用十年写了一部历史小说，但当他亲眼目睹中国的剧烈变化后，他放弃了这部小说，转而创作小说《兄弟》来表现文革前后的巨大变革。 据余华描述，这俩兄弟的父亲在文革期间被人们杀害。兄弟俩的发展完全不同。弟弟李光头举办了处美人大赛，买卖二手日本人西装，都获得了成功。哥哥宋刚原来在一家上市公司工作，他认为自己的工作是“铁饭碗”，可后来还是被解雇了。现在他正努力成为一名“企业家”，为了卖给农民丰胸膏，他还做了隆胸手术。然而他的创业还是以失败告终，之后他便自杀了。--Song Jianru (talk) 01:46, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Mo Yan: Sandalwood Death Mo Yan takes us with his Sandalwood Death (C 2001), which will be published at the book fair, to the German colonial history in China, with railway construction and the Boxer Rebellion,. Mo Yan describes a fictitious story in which Guomindang General Yuan Shikai, with the last imperial headman, wants to achieve a cruel execution by torture against a man who rebelled after his family had previously been desecrated and killed by Germans. Contrasted with this, Mo Yan portrays the last opera singer of the Maoqiang local opera from Gaomi. The language is pathetic, symbolic and emotionally charged. The description of the inner conflict of the physician, who has to keep the victim alive until the German colonizers see him, is shattered. His only advice "Remove the Sandalwood!" is not followed, since this is precisely the torture. Mo Yan is also represented at the book fair with the further masterpiece "Der Überdruss". In his afterword which is not reprinted he writes: "A great novel can not sacrifice its own dignity due to the fact that it wants to appeal to a sensuous, pseudoemotional age. It can not, in order to meet the wishes of some readers, save length, reduce the density of action, or lower the degree of difficulty. I want it clearly long, thick and heavy. Whoever wants to read it, read it, whoever does not, leave it alone! [...] Even if only a single reader remains to me! So what? I am not writing a different character. "

Interview with Mo Yan On the occasion of a symposium in the run-up to the Frankfurt Book Fair, Martin Woesler interviewed Mo Yan on Saturday, September 12th, 2009, 9.30-9.50 am Mo Yan, who is in addition to Yu Hua one of the candidates for a Nobel Prize in Literature.

Question: You are a participant of the official Chinese authors delegation who visits Germany during the Frankfurt Book Fair and know Germany from previous visits. How do you perceive as a Chinese the German culture compared to other cultures you have met, like the American? Answer: Due to the rare and short visits I can not judge. But if you ask me about my impression, I have a different feeling in America than in Germany: In the United States, I have the impression that culture is less the essence of life than in Europe. I am lacking the thoughtfulness. On the other hand French culture appears closer to the Chinese, so I am much translated in French.

Question: You come from Gaomi, where the Germans had an inglorious past as colonial lords. This is the topic of your novel "Sandalwood Death". Have you forgiven the Germans? Answer: In the novel, I overdraw the Germans with their goose step as the epitome of the colonial lords, which is of course grotesque and purely symbolic. To the Germans I have no resentment. I really like to be in Germany, now I am here for the fourth time. I was particularly impressed by the harbor of Hamburg. You should not be surprised if the harbor of a Chinese city, which I describe in my next novels, is somehow familiar to you.

Question: What are your concrete plans for the book fair? Answer: After the symposium, I will be flying back and return from 11th to 31st October 2009 in order to participate at the book fair and to do a reading tour. I will also read in Munich, your colleague Martina Hasse knows the dates.

Question: What can we expect from Mo Yan in the future? Answer: I am writing a new novel, which will appear in November.

Note: A manifesto of the author is the afterword to the novel "Der Überdruss". This statement is published in the following book, translated by Martina Hasse: Chinesische Literatur in deutscher Übersetzung - China Ehrengast der Frankfurter Buchmesse 2009 / Symposiumsband, Bochum: European University Press 2010, ISBN 978-3-89966-293-1.

From the "evil girl" to the "cult figure" of the Chinese contemporary literature - Mian Mian Mian Mian has influenced the young generation of the Shanghai women with her underground literature

See also my similar essay on Mian Mian in: "Chinese Literature in German Translation - China as the Honorary Guest of the Frankfurt Book Fair, Symposium Volume" 2010.

Photo: Yiqing Liu

Mian Mian stands on the terrace of the cult bistro "M on the Bund". She looks at the colorful lights of the "Bund": houses in colonial style line up to Shanghai's harbor line. A gentle gust of wind blows a strand of her face, she looks a little defiantly into the skyline: "Here we celebrated wild parties!" Of course, it did not cost anything at that time - she knows the owner of this cult bar and also from the other trendy bars here in the proximity - all foreigners.

The colorful skyline stands for a vibrant metropolis that is Mian Mian's life. Her books are a tribute to a city that has always been more modern than the other Chinese cities. And Mian Mian has breathed a soul into this city, the soul of youth, open-mindedness and culture of fun. In the socialist China she was a scandal, her literature was forbidden. And yet she was printed in Hong Kong, her texts appeared on the Internet and were sold under the shop counter. She was the insider tip of the underground literature.

A whole generation of young girls wanted to be like Mian Mian - celebrating wildly, trying out all the forbidden things: free love, alcohol, drugs. Where Mian Mian was, the underground culture was at home, a party was only hippy when she appeared. Sometimes she organized events and performed as a DJ. She has become much more than an avant-garde writer, she has become a cult, a lifestyle. Now the censorship has been lifted and her four novels appeared in February, the first edition of 200,000 copies already sold out in March.

Her latest novel, Panda Sex, is not really a novel, but a simple chronicle of her life. For this purpose the tireless partygoer took a few years ago a mini-recorder with her and recorded the sometimes irrelevant partly profound conversations of her friends. Time and again the talks deal about relationships and true love. To write down these recordings and compose a novel from it, fascinated her for more than five years, made her "addicted", as she says. The book did not let go of her. At that time, she could not write nothing else, she was "dependent on writing" "like a drug addict on the junk". In fact, she is once again experiencing her wild youth with this novel.

Tang Bei 汤蓓

Also the characters exist: the male bear features of Mian Mian's partner, herself slips into different female figures. And at the end of the novel she reveals another secret about déjà vus and change of roles about the novel itself.

It was not until the reworking of the novel that Mian Mian left her wild life behind. Since two years the authoress has abjured the nicotine, the alcohol and the soft and hard drugs of her youth, became a vegetarian and Buddhist, but she is not "clean" yet, her new drug is writing. "My life has run through a transformation from dependence to the danger of self-destruction to self-realization and the readers can experience this journey in my literature."

Her books are now available in China. "And I'm very happy about that," she says brightly. There is a bit of a malice about the censors who had never understood the novels anyway, and a bit of defiance, the feeling of finally getting a piece of the Chinese economic miracle, which was officially only two years kept back, but actually nine years, namely from April 2000 to February 2009, by revenue of the sold books. In fact, the 20,000 copies of Panda Sex, which arrived in China in February, were already out of print the same month. Also her other three books with 20,000 copies, summarized in Germany in the two books "La la la" and "Your Night, my Day" are sold out. Mian Mian is in her favorite underground bookstore Jifeng and calls with her mobile phone impatiently after the reprint. In the middle of this buzzing, hectic, commercial shopping life of this corner, the approximately 300 square meter bookstore near the "Maoming nanlu" in a subway station of line 2 is an oasis of calm. There are seating possibilities, the books are divided into groups, translations from English are selling by the pile.

Tang Ming 唐铭

The contrast between the never full partygoer of the 1990s and the writer today could hardly be bigger. In January 2009 she was in Paris and presented the French edition of Panda Sex. There it was celebrated by the young journalists. She flirted with them, especially with the one from "Le Monde," who wrote a fantastic critique of Panda Sex. With Panda Sex, she had created a living literary monument, a modern work of art.

"Panda Sex" as a contemporary novel is highly controversial in-country and abroad, possibly the most controversial novel at all. Mian Mian is absolutely convinced of her novel: "Of course China was not ready for my novel when I wrote it, hence the censorship. The old books of mine are in the style of the 1990s. I've tried to write Panda Sex as one will write in the future. "

Now Mian Mian wants a part from the Chinese economic miracle. What does she do when she comes into money? "A movie! That would be the greatest! "This is the only thing that can be made meaningful with a lot of money. In fact, the novel Panda Sex reads like a French black and white film. Dialogues, only interrupted by short stage instructions. The French film studio Anna Sanders wants to make the novel into a film, Mian Mian has agreed to direct it.

Mian Mian leads me to the original settings of her novel. And not only the places exist, but also the stories happened as described. Today's Shanghai presents itself as a large construction site in preparation for the Expo 2010. And this Shanghai she has loved, lived, lived to the excess. But the places she leads me are no cheap nightclubs, no wicked bars, but trendy restaurants, elegant joints involving terraces with view in which the decadence of the century's turn is palpable. Even in the revolutionary nostalgic "YYs" for tourists, a bottle of champagne costs 965 yuan (over 100 euros).

Tang Yiran 汤伊然

The "Jean George" at the center with its high ceilings, the dark wooden floors and walls, the mirrors, the somewhat musty velvet, stucco and reddish twilight seems to come from the Europe of the 1910s. Busy waiters in tails dart back and forth, the cocktails are priceless. But it is not Europe, it is Shanghai. And it is not the 1910s, but exactly a century later. In the 1990s, the trendy get-together was prosperous. The bar is still popular today, but it is ghostly empty. Here is a fin-de-siècle mood nearly tactile. The restaurant is owned by Jean George, a star cook who happened to be at his restaurant that evening but is mostly in New York. Here she has recorded the monologue about Bruce Lee by Andrew Bull, which appears in the novel in the first part, chapter five.

Mian Mian is also surprised at how much the global economic crisis hit Shanghai. Even when she drives by taxi through the nocturnal, almost deserted Shanghai, she feels strange in her city, in the city where she has spent her entire life: "The breath of the financial crisis pushes people from the nightlife into the bedrooms." This empty Shanghai frightens her. But Shanghai will recover from the financial crisis faster than other cities.

In the novel Pand Sex, she describes the 16 million metropolis by the Yellow Sea like this: "Do you know what is missing in Shanghai? The sea. [...] Shanghai is really a village." Incomparably, finally, the metaphorical description of the city: "Those souls penetrate the nightly Shanghai. The pallor and emptiness are invariable. Under the sound of water scooped with bamboo baskets and leaves that are kinked, mix the sounds of cheeky and honeyed steps. Those famous streets seem like concubines in the harem, who are always ready for the favor of their ruler. These streets are crossed by the foreign concession areas, the modern dance halls, which have given up the hope for better times, the theaters, the horse betting agencys and cafes. They pass tired heroes and a population in a nightmare. They wash up from the river. Shouts like from a lonely phoenix, light reflections like a jade teapot, a sight that goes into marrow. Women with delicate and fragile posture, a skin like frozen fat, faces like the full moon. The behavior of the men is similarly trained, their character is profound, they have received the baptism of literature and art, but do not want to play the hero. The streets cross the Waipo Bridge, come closer to each other at the Broadway Mansion, climb the stairs step by step, with smooth walk, the wobbling of the butt is charming but elegant and fulfills the expectations. Their misfortune is their destiny, they have never really believed in their destiny. Finally, with an expression that is utterly unbelievable, they appear in candlelight, they have always known to hide their feelings well. They never bring anything directly to light, they do not trust anyone. "

The German Sinologist Wolfgang Kubin, who was awarded with the Chinese State Prize and the Pamir International Poetry Prize, described her works as "garbage" in 2006. Of course, Mian Mian is not the new Lu Xun or the new Zhang Ailing.

She also does not represent the mainstream, but was known at the age of 17 through her breach of taboo to write about her own life of sex, drugs, alcohol and rock'n roll. As a "bad girl" with a "talent to burn anger". She has been translated into more than 10 languages and is perhaps the "most promising young writer", as the International Herald Tribune wrote on 2/8/2001, "she touches the core of the experiences of her generation with her themes of sex, drugs and China's opening policy" . "Der Spiegel" described her as "China's most talented writer". The novel "Candy" was a bestseller under the shop counter and became a classic of youth literature. Herself appears in the novel Pandasex and expresses herself thus: "Great art is like the bright moon in the night sky. He enlightens the world, but he does not light himself. His glow is only borrowed by the hidden self-luminous sun. Art has helped many people to catch a glimpse at the meaning of life. Art has invisible, sacred origins and sacred goals. It makes people recognize their true nature and their place in the cosmos. It helps people to always recognize the meaning and value of their lives again and like for the first time, and the unlimited possibilities that it offers. But many modern art has lost this insight and is therefore a prisoner of its self-imposed limitation." Whether Mian Mian's literature belongs to the rubbish heap or to the hall of fame of World Literature can only one decide: the reader himself.

Is the taboo-less party girl Mian Mian dead like Little Beetle in the novel or like her friend in real life, what brought her to writing? In the novel she shines at us out of her big beautiful eyes, a whole generation of Shanghai's beauties cites her night by night. However this fan base has also become a rivalry, as can be seen in the mask-like description of the 50 girls at the gamble in the first chapter of the first part. And what does the 38-year-old think about it, who has become a little bit chubby since she quit smoking? She bought herself a swim card and says, "The number of small Mian Mians has exploded! In Shanghai you can only survive if you are slim. I just have to do a little diet, then I can go back into the jet set life - because there is only one real Mian Mian! "

Her crime: she, who was during the cultural revolution one of the most fanatical Red Guardists, has recant Communism. Her mother performs defiantly the traditional rituals for the dead, while Shan's father, a subtle intellectual, has long ago given up on his daughter, who brought so much misfortune to others. Both do not sense which far-reaching consequences this death will have. For example for Kai, the radio announcer, who is the voice of the party in public, but by now doubts about what she is doing. For the crippled Nini, who is held like a slave in a household of nothing but girls. For the little Tong, who is neglected by the parents and is only loved by his dog.

Liu Heng From the Chinese by Ingrid Müller and Zhang Rui Hanser - ISBN 978-3-446-20534-5 ► The servant never forgot the moment when he first saw the bride of the young Mr. Cao: during pouring rain, she got out of her red litter, and though he had only seen her too big feet, he fell in love forever. The future spouse has different sexual inclinations, but the strange guest, whom he brought from abroad, is feeling the same as the servant. The French engineer should actually install a matchmaker factory in the Chinese province, but the young Mr. Cao experiments secretly with explosives instead of matches. The older people do not care about the welfare of the house - the father always tries the most odd remedies, the mother has retreated as a Buddhist hermit - and therefore the eldest son rules with an iron fist over the degenerate extended family. These hustle and bustle is observed by the young servant, who is also witnessing what is going on in the joints by the river, in the brothels and the tea houses. In the Middle Kingdom dominate famine and civil wars, the old order is breaking, and lords and servants are sucked into the whirlpool of these events.

With the eyes of the beast he traces the fate of his former family, his friends, rivals and enemies. Further reincarnations cause him to become a bull, a pig, a dog and a monkey and finally to a boy with a big head, who has an astounding memory and a talent for languages. From the rough and extraordinarily entertaining perspective of each character, this novel tells the last 50 years of the stormy history of China.

Thus language and content unite into a portrait of a generation that is loooking for identity - in a country in turmoil.

Zhu Wen From the Chinese by Frank Meinshausen A1-Verlag, ISBN 978-3-940666-07-9 ► Six stories about the modern China: laconic, with wit and sarcasm, Zhu Wen draws the image of a Chinese society that is caught between communism and capitalism in which all values and securities begin to totter. A boat trip on the Yangzi, which is ill-starred from the beginning. Meanwhile the first-person narrator feels without his assistance imperiled in Kafkaesque manner to the arbitrariness of new people; a factory worker who accidentally gets caught in the clutches of a mafiaous family, which accuses him that he bumped with a bicycle into their grandfather; a young man, who is compelled by the family of a friend to keep night watch at the sickbed of the freshly operated father. Unexpectedly he is exposed to the whims of the father and to the apparatus of a ramshackled, profit-oriented hospital; or the first-person narrator in the title story, a luckless writer in a Chinese provincial town, who gets a visit from his father and wants to make him a few nice days, in fact with the things that are most important for him in his own life: money and sex.

Li Jingze / Jing Bartz (eds.) From the Chinese by Hanne Chen, Johannes Fiederling, Karin Hasselblatt, Marc Hermann, Ulrich Kautz, Irmy Schweiger DIX Verlag, ISBN 978-3-941651-00-5 ► China is on the road, in turmoil and departure. Common certainties are shaken, conventions dissolve themselves. The present stories capture this dynamism that can hardly be hold in place. The ten Authors live in China and are also the inhabitants of a globalized world. This dynamic makes the stories so thrilling and accessible to Western readers. Broadly being spared from the trauma of the Mao period, the young authors keep pace with the times: unagitated, entertaining, and ironic, without a wagging finger and without false nostalgia, but even without the transfiguration of the gold-rush mood, that we, in the West, so gladly associate with today's China. In their very individual way they hold up a mirror to China.

Divorce and break-up of parents belong today to the everyday life of many children. How do we talk about it - as parents and grandparents, educators and teachers, relatives or friends? 'The pale red balloon' loses the brightness of its color, depending on the mood of the child of divorce, because for the boy suddenly his ideal world is burst. And for a long time no one notices how he really feels, everything seems to be regulated and reorganized. Only when father and mother understand that they go separate ways like sun and moon, but will always stay together as parents for their child, his balloon begins to shine bright again.

A consistent front course can not be expected. In the depths of foreign culture it can be found that there are parallels to the things that appear to us in our own as "modern". Own accomplishments lose apperently their exclusivity. The West proudly points to its three centuries old »secular age«. In East Asia, the separation of religion and morality has been a peaceful aquired naturalness for two and a half thousand years. On the other hand we discover at careful comparison in our own cultural developments, which we were accustomed to view as "typically Chinese" or "typically East Asian". Whoever believes that modalities and mentalities are culturally shaped must proof them to different Contexts.

Ursula Krechel 3. Edition. Jung und Jung - ISBN 978-3-902497-44-4 ►Franziska Tausig is one of many, the Berlin book dealer Ludwig Lazarus is another, and at the end there were eighteen thousand Jews who had been using one of the last loopholes since 1938 and thus survived in the far-off foreign Shanghai. They came without a visa and illusions, with one suitcase and ten Reichsmark in their pockets, lawyers, craftsmen, art historians, and when they wanted to get along in this overcrowded city and the moisty heavy climate, then were powers of invention and energy challenged. Not everyone was able to do this after everything what was behind and before them. Breathtakingly diverse and complex talks Ursula Krechel about it. From long-term research developed the material to an extensive narrative curve, which brings the reader into a world, which is closer to oneself than expected.

Jonathan D. Spence From the English by Susanne Hornfeck Hanser - ISBN 978-3-446-23415-4 ► When Zhang Dai was born into a well-esteemed family in 1597, the Ming Dynasty had ruled in China for over 200 years. For the contemporaries it was unthinkable that this era, that had guided the Chinese empire to a prior unattained political and cultural prosperity, could ever end. However in 1644 the Manchu of the Ming Dynasty put an end to it. Zhang Dai’s family sank into insignificance. He spent the second half of his long life in rural seclusion as a private scholar and became famous as a master of the philosophical essay and chronicler of a lost era. Jonathan Spence tells the life of this scholarly eccentric - and draws at the same time the vivid panorama of a central era of the Chinese past.

Hugh Trevor-Roper Translated by: Andrea Ott Eichborn - ISBN 978-3-8218-4590-6 ► Jing Shan was a Manchu scholar from a noble-minded family, who was related with the Chinese empress dowager and was closely connected to all the important personalities of the Imperial Court. When he was murdered in the course of the Boxer Rebellion in 1900, it was Edmund Backhouse, who saved Shans scrolls from the flames of the looters - including a mysterious diary, that allegedly described the events at the imperial court during the Boxer Rebellion minutely. Nine years Backhouse kept his discovery a secret until he published large parts of it in China under the Empress Dowager. The book became a classic, it still determines our image of China - and is based on a grandiose counterfeiting of Backhouse.

Vol. 26 Martin Woesler: Chinese literature in German translation China as honoraray guest of the Frankfurt Book Fair 2009 – Symposium edition Bochum: European University Press ISBN 978-3-89966-293-1 200 pp., 19.90 €

China is the honorary guest of the Frankfurt Book Fair 2009. The public interest in this literature, which has so far been underrepresented in Germany, is great. However, there is not much known about the trends in the Chinese contemporary literature except for keywords like "youth literacy". This symposium edition shows which new publications will be realised for the book fair. Contributions are given by translators to portray the peculiarities of the translation of Chinese literature, as well as literary scholars who give an overview of the Chinese literature scene, by the Chinese author Gao Yi and by connoisseurs of literary business (book fair, publishers, agencies). One focus is the question, which Chinese literature also 'works' in German translation. The reader is sensitized to questions of the selection. The advantages and disadvantages of the Chinese governmental translation support are equally part of the contributions as commercial aspects, which influence the selection on the part of the German publishers. By the way, prejudices are to be dismantled, for example, that Chinese literature is incomprehensible because of its 'Confucianism', or that Chinese imitation literature is written in the style of the Harry Potter series.

The present work examines with phenomenological thought tools (Edmund Husserl) the five basic emotions (Wielant Machleidt) presented in the Chinese medicine classic Huang Di Nei Jing and their refraction in the fractal affective logic of Luc Ciompis. In both cultural objects - Huang Di Nei Jing and the affective logic of Luc Ciompis – yield striking coincidences and mutual clarifications between the chaostheoretical insights of the fractal relation of the "feelings" and the important thought concepts in the early Han period of "approaching by corresponding affiliation Gan Lei" and the "personified answering event Gan Ying (Obert) "or - according to J. Needham – the "sympathetic responses between similiar kinds of existence".

Yuan Shiqi 袁诗琦

The Chinese literature of the present at the beginning of the 21st century appears hardly compatible with the German book market. Many stories of the mostly young, partly celebrated like pop stars authors from the Middle Kingdom, who drop their books partly in millions of editions, such as Jingming Guo, seem too bizarre. Nevertheless, trends can be discerned that reflect especially the extreme process of social upheaval in China: the female literature created by Ailing Zhang with the insiders view of the Shanghaie big city singles, for example, which has found a whole generation of successors. Or the scandal literature of Shuo Wang, who has long since become an establishment. The nostalgia with new interpretations of classics such as Confucius, Menzius, or the novel of the Three Kingdoms, for example by Dan Yu. Finally, the young, bizarre literature of an alienated city youth, who is in the end searching for the happiness of love between alcohol, drugs and party excesses. Surprising newcomer is the author Han Han, who is known for his critically acclaimed youth literature and who exerts a humorous social criticism in his new work, "Tage des Ruhms", about a dropout group in the style of Magical Realism. A colorful roundel, which tells from another world, no longer as exotic as before, but still strange and fascinating.

This festschrift is approaching to the Chinese (law) culture from different angles. It also focuses on current topics such as human rights or relevant philosophers.

The articles deal among other things with views of Confucius, Menzius and Li Zhi. Ommerborn introduces Li Zhi as an individualist, who pronounces against spiritual authorities and the universal validity of higher principles, contrary to the (neo-Confucian norms of his contemporaries.

The contribution of Harald Holz deals with cross-cultural foundations, he ascribes the 'golden rule' ultimately to an underlying sense, in which he defines the concept of sense as a broad striving for the appropriation of the own possibilities in interaction with all the others that come in line. Hence results in a recognition of his self and of the other as well as an 'ought', whereby all the other aims of action result as personal reciprocal.

While Weber-Schäfer draws up the thesis and explains why China does not have an equivalent counterpart to the European concept of justice, Woesler, takes the opposite view in his essay. Moccia argues that in the classical China tradition and customs were before the law, and the law of Confucius was little appreciated. He wanted to speak of legislation in China only since the nineteenth century and describes the condition of today's society as a transition to a law-based system.

Zeng Fangyuan 曾芳缘

Paul deals with the political dimension of the Menzius reception, especially in terms of the human rights, which are more progressive in Menzius than in Plato and Aristotle. He demonstrates that Menzius was in Western history of reception mainly interpreted as universalistic. While many of the assembled contributions deal with the actual legislation in China, Sapio's contribution fills a gap in the area of the more difficult gray legal practice: On the basis of diplomatic sources and examples, it proves that the practice of "shuanggui" exists in China, in form of arrest without charge, used by the Communist Party against corrupt officials or members of the party.

Weyrauch deals in his contribution with the decision-making practice for Chinese asylum applications for Germany. If you are a member of the religious movement "Falun Gong" or a minority, you have resisted against the one-party rule or censorship, or if you have become a victim of the one-child policy it will be decided depending on the degree of persecution. In China rituals compete with the right: the Chinese adopted Christianity, like before various other religious practices and mixed it with their own popular religious rites and customs. In the so-called "Chinese rites controversy", two mission camps battled each other, who supported this adaptation or rejected it. Von Collani evaluates in her contribution numerous documents, which are now accessible, of the approximately one hundred years of ritual strife.

Another area which is not directly connected to the main theme of the law are political guidelines: In his contribution using the example of armaments policy, Aßmann examines an aspect of security policy, here the case of an American missile defense system for Japan and Taiwan. He discusses possible power shifts in the region and warns of a new arms race. Ostendorf draws attention to the shadows of the economic boom in China, the environmental pollution. He draws future scenarios on how this destruction can be managed.

保罗（Paul）谈到孟子处世思想的政治意义，特别是在人权方面，孟子的思想比柏拉图和亚里斯多德的思想更为进步。他表示，孟子在西方处世历史中主要为普遍主义所解释。虽然许多研究的对象是是中国的实际立法，但萨皮奥(Sapio)的研究成果填补了法律实践灰色地带的空白，而这一研究是更为困难的领域。研究成果如下：基于外交资料和实例，表明“双归”存在于中国，它是中国共产党以未经起诉而逮捕的形式来查处腐败官员或腐败党员的手段。

韦罗克（Weyrauch）致力于为中国人申请德国的政治庇护。根据迫害程度的大小，判断该人是否为宗教运动“法轮功”的成员或者少数民族，抵制过一党统治或一党审查制度；或者是否为计划生育的受害者。在中国，宗教仪式与权力相抗衡。中国人对待基督教的方式与对待过去各种宗教的方式类似，他们将基督教引进国内，并将其与本国的宗教仪式和习俗相结合。在所谓的“中国礼仪之争”当中，两方势力相互对抗，针对基督教华化表明了支持或反对的态度。冯·柯兰霓（Von Collani）在其众多的研究成果中探讨了该历经约一百年的宗教冲突，这些研究资料如今均可获取。

除宗教外，另一个与法律主旋律并无直接联系的领域则是政治指导方针。在以军备政策为例的研究中，阿斯曼（Aßmann）研究安全政策的一个方面——美国针对日本和台湾的导弹防御系统，探讨地区可能发生的权力转移，并发出了新一轮军备竞赛出现的警告。奥斯坦多夫（Ostendorf）关注到中国经济繁荣所带来的环境污染问题，并提出解决该问题的未来方案。 --Zeng Fangyuan (talk) 02:26, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

The terminology translation is a special case of the translation. Despite many parallels to the general translation, there are some differences which cause problems which not only translators in terminology transfer have to cope with, but also the respective expert groups, throughout the terminology work:

a) The main difference between the two sides is: the text has to be translated as a whole, which offers the technical context in which the individual terms and expressions are embedded, and thus can fuction indicatory for the translation, but existst at the terminology transmission not in the way like it can be found at the general translation. The topic in a terminology transfer is a single subject terminus or a particular set of terms. Therefore the translator first needs to acquire the appropriate expertise, which is then used as a "text" when translating the terms.

b) The non-presence of a concrete client, which has to be considered as a rule, means that the translator and other experts have to take more responsibility with regard to the quality control.

c) The involvement of different translators at one and the same terminological "text", which is rare and, if so, coordinated to a limited extent, as well as a time-delayed transmission of this "text" has a "terminology diversity" as a result, which acts often more confusing than as an useful effect. This means for the terminology work that an additional task, terminology collation, is to be mastered. It should also be noted that the partial incompatibility of two parallel terminologies makes the terminology transmission more difficult.

The Chinese authors Liu Jiming (born in 1963), Zhang Wei (born in 1956) and Liu Qingbang (born 1951), who have been valued in their homeland for years by the readership and literary criticism, are largely unknown to us; translations of their works into German have not yet been available.

This book presents the three authors in detail, and then gives them the opportunity to speak for themselves in selected short stories and essays. Hence Thilo Diefenbach gives an insight into their narrative complete work and in a hitherto little-studied section of China's contemporary literature. Just in a time when the international perception of the country is limited to the observation of the events in the cities and the Chinese literature largely concentrates on the city life, Diefenbach would like to remind that the still strongly agrarian coined China has also a literature that focuses on the everyday life in the countryside.

Thilo Diefenbach was promoted in 2003 at the University of Cologne with a dissertation on the subject contexts of violence in modern Chinese literature. From 2004 to 2005 he worked as a scholarship holder of the Fritz Thyssen Foundation on a research project whose results this book contains. Since February 2006, he has been conducting a study on the literature of the Northern Dynasties (386-581) as a scholarship holder of the DAAD at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing.

The foot binding probably began in the early tenth century, spreading from the north to the south over the next centuries, whereby it was less practiced in the south. It was forbidden several times over the history, recently in 1949, but still today in some places one can see old women with bandaged feet.

There are different theories about their cause. Most of them try to explain foot binding with 1. status symbol, 2. the necessity to keep the women chaste, 3. ideal of beauty, 4. sexuality, 5. fetish, 6. fashion, 7. demarcation to other peoples and 8. combat of enemies. Of these explanations, the domination of the men seems most plausible.

The volume offers a wealth of bibliographic evidence, through which important materials can initially be developed, which are not contained in the existing specialist bibliographies. The foreign countries, one of the important "Cottaschen Journals", and the magazine for the literature of foreign countries provide numerous solid contributions about East Asia for the 19th century: travel reports, political and military representations, translations from Chinese and Japanese literature Unknown. The same applies to the short-lived magazines Spirit of the East and Ho Ping Pao, the latter a news sheet of the Chinese delegation in Berlin after the Second World War. Chinese medicine is particularly popular today, but the medical texts were collected only very little. A register opens up the medical treasures of the Paris National Library. The complete translations of the poetic works of the two Tang poets Tu Fu and Han Yü, published by the excellent specialist Erwin von Zach, were made accessible by new editions by the Harvard University. Index and register allow quick access to masterpieces of Chinese poetry.

The most famous Chinese novel for the first time in complete German translation.

To part 1 The goddess Nüwa does not use the 36501. stone anymore for the repair of the sky roof. This feeds a flower with dew drops. Finally, the stone is reborn as the protagonist Djia Bau-yu to whom the dew must be repaid in form of tears. The novel tells about the growing-up of Bau-yüs with his cousins in the ‘Garden of the Great Perspective’ against the backdrop of the rise and fall of the administrator family Djia in the time of the last emperors of the Ming Dynasty. However the autobiographical background is the first emperor of the Manchurian Tjing Dynasty (1644-1911). Bau-yü spends carefree children's and youth days with his cousins. In the first part of the novel, a triangular relationship develops between the talented, androgynous Djia Bau-yu, the gritty and pragmatic Hsuä Bau-chai and the desperate for love intelligent but sickly Lin Dai-yi.

Zhang Qi 张琪

To part 2 Bau-yü, talented son of the influential large family Djia, grows up together with his cousins almost carefree in the paradise-like 'Garden of the Great Perspective'. In the second part of the novel he experiences the degeneration and the moral decay of his family, the political and financial descent. The ideal world of childhood threatens to break at the transition to adolescent. Signs of imminent disaster cast a pall on the love of the androgynous Djia Bau-yü to his devoted but sickly, still-suffering and resigned cousin Lin Dai-yi. Has their love a future in a time of arranged marriages and against the backdrop of the family's decline?

To part 3 Gradually, the twelve girls of the Garden of the Great Perspective marry and move away. Also Djia Bau-yü believes to marry his cousin Lin Dai-yü. But when the veil is aroused, it is Hsii Bau-tschai. Lin Dai-yü dies of grief at the same time. The garden orphans. The jade stone is lost. The family falls into disgrace with the Emperor, the titles are withdrawn. The property is being robbed and plundered. Some family members are arrested and exiled. The Duchess-mother dies. The decline of the extended family Djia seems to be sealed.

Only after Djia Bau-yü understands his predestined destiny and decides to live as a Buddhist monk, the tide is turning: Djia Bau-yü passes the state examinations together with his cousin Djia Lan. Titles, reputation, and goods are restored. The Djia family is looking forward to a happy future with Djia Lan and Bau-yüs son Djia Guee. But where is Bau-yü?

Documentation of an exemplary discussion of politics and literature in the People's Republic of China. From September 1991 to January 1992, this debate caught the attention of the Chinese public and also made international headlines. Throughout the period, the author has been able to follow the local discussions in Beijing. The dispute proceeds like a bad crime: The resignation of the Minister of Culture Wang Meng on September 4, 1989, is linked to the story of " Zäher Brei " from the time of the democratic movement. The narrative, a political grotesque, is then awarded by a liberal literature magazine. There is a storm of indignation among the orthodox Marxists, which vents it’s spleen in two press articles. Apparently one would like to tackle the liberal literature of the 1980s at all. The former Minister of Culture fears a new political hate campaign and - a novelty in the history of the People's Republic of China –strains a lawsuit against authors and backers. This is followed by a paper- warfare, which course is followed eagerly by the Chinese intellectuals.

This dispute illustrates the tug-of-war between the reformers and reformist opponents among Chinese politicians and intellectuals in the consolidation phase after 4 June 1989. In their pleading, the debates are not confessing themselves without a wink as a supporter or opponent of the mash.

This volume contains the most important documents of the 'slugfest' in German translation. According to the narrative (p. 4 ff.), the chronology (pp. 55 ff.) Provides a first overview of the debate, which is documented in the following 17 texts. The background is provided by a biography of Wang Meng (p. 161 ff.), explanations of the tense relationship between politics and literature (p. 184 ff.), and a commentary essay (p 204 ff.) References, an overview of the reception, further bibliography and a sign glossary form the appendix.

A dream is a vision undoubtedly, part of the vision has already become reality. Through the endeavours made by China´s political elite in the past two decades. But what exactly does that vision look like, what is the reality of China´s Internet and to what extent has this modern medium influenced and how will it continue to influence the life of people in china? In Order to find out answers to these questions, we aked scholars from China, Hong Kong, the USA, and Europe engaged in the study of Chinese internet and politics to offer their thoughts and to present the results of their research.

To break his back for five bushels of rice a day, he was himself to pity and quit the public service. In the country he has moved, has cultivated fields and gardens and praised what he loved: chrysanthemums and pines, even children, country people, old people, drinking with friends, silence, seclusion. He understood how to praise as to lament, to think about the vicissitudes of life, and to play down his own hardships with a dash of self-irony: hardly anything tormented him, like the idea that the wine might go out. He lived 1500 years ago and his poems are as of today. The Chinese regard Tao Yuanming as the greatest poet between Han and Tang time; countless painters are inspired by him.

Essay-writing is an acknowledged hallmark of Chinese writers and intellectuals, past and present. The personal essay, in particular, has been widely popular ever since the Ming Dynasty and was a major genre of modern Chinese literature. The more public essay-form called zawen (miscellaneous essay), the invention of which is attributed to Lu Xun, has been used by at least two generations of modern Chinese intellectuals as a powerful weapon of social and political criticism, often from a dissident angle. All of these are well known in China but seldom studied in the West. It is time, therefore, that we welcome the publication of a volume of 20th century Chinese essays carefully selected and edited by Martin Woesler. Dr. Woesler has been a most conscientious young scholar from Germany who embarked upon such an endeavor with a singular devotion, especially in view of the fact that his mother tongue is not English. His exemplary zeal must have been contagious, for he was able to gather a like-minded group of translators who all contributed their time and energy to this magnificent volume. As his official sponsor for a year's research visit at Harvard, I am honored to be asked to write this perfunctory preface, a small task I do with pleasure for both scholarly and personal reasons. (Though no expert in this genre I am currently practicing essay-writing myself by contributing to a weekly column in Chinese for a Hong Kong newspaper.) Readers of this volume can readily discover that a most welcome feature is its comprehensiveness: samples from both the modern and contemporary periods are represented. Although ample coverage is given to writers from the Mainland, the celebrated poet and essayist from Taiwan, Yu Kwang-chung, is also included. Needless to add, this selection is chosen from a much larger collection of essays from Woesler's massive research data bank stored in his personal computer. I am sure he will welcome scholars who wish to gain access. I am delighted that after many years of hard work his labor is finally bearing fruit, and I invite all interested readers to sample its variegated taste. Leo Ou-fan Lee, July 14, 1999

"As a China consultant and academic whose interest in China goes as far back as 1952, I was delighted to be asked to write an introduction to "China and Cyberspace", a detailed and very up-to-date report on the development of the Chinese national information infrastructure, succinctly presented in this book by Manuel Fries. I had the pleasure of first meeting Manuel Fries in Beijing, where he undertook research for this book. Mr. Fries, who speaks fluent Chinese, mingled with ease with Chinese bureaucrats and private entre-preneurs in order to obtain the information for this publication. No doubt, this skill comes from both his training and his extensive research experience. This ideal combination allowed him to compile the vital background information on China's current communications industry, which is at the centre of this book. Much of the detailed information contained in this volume is not readily available in any form and therefore fills a vital gap as a reference tool for anybody who seeks vital information about China in Cyberspace. The appended bibliography is also of vital use for this purpose. I am delighted to be able to recommend this publication to all readers who have an interest in contem-porary China and its rapid progress in information technology."

Bilingual edition with the most famous Chinese essays of the 20th century. In 1917 the Chinese essay experienced under a strong Western influence its rebirth in baihua, the written common speech. The 1920s and 1930s saw a May of essay writing: in newspapers and magazines these short contributions were a modern medium of the enlightenment in China. Since 1927, the essay was increasingly politicized as a propaganda tool. The conflict between the free (Zhou Zuoren) and the politically committed essay (Lu Xun) was decided by the latter. In the 1990s, the essays of the republics, with the exception of the ideologically affirmative texts, are widely more received than those of the present.

Vol. 2 (3 subvolumes) Martin Woesler Bochum: European University Press ²2003, xiii, 900 pp., 978-3-932329-04-3 (3-932329-04-X) € 46.00

The three volumes are divided into the period 1911-1949, 1949-2000 and bibliography. To subvolume 2: In the 1980s and 1990s, the Chinese essay experienced its second flowering phase after the Republic era. Anthologies, book series, periodicals and conferences are devoted to the essay. The fast-moving nature of society requires short, diverting texts. The individual consciousness is strengthened and the essay is the most immediate form of subjective expression. Also the interest in the discussion of socio-political issues increases. The young generation of the essayists, that are born after 1949, seems to write free from ideological influence for the first time. However, short-term political topics take up less space than in the 1920s and 1930s. The essay is consciously perceived as a genre again: In the 1980s the essay scholarship began in Taiwan, some years later in the People's Republic of China.

Chinese-Western cultural comparison Series: Inter Culturas ISSN 1613-6195 Published by Hans-Peter Schütt, Ute Gahlings, Guido Rappe

Interculturas means "between the cultures" and refers not only to the cultural diversity within the European present and the past, but also to the plurality that transcends space and time, in which Europe itself is always one of many cultures. Accordingly, Inter Culturas is an interdisciplinary series for studies on Europe, its culture and its history of ideas, in which not only intracultural but also intercultural work will appear.

The following priorities are envisaged: - History of European Philosophy and Literature - gender research and European feminism - Europe in cultural comparison

The four-volume " Interkulturelle Ethik " attempts to acquire transcultural commonalities, which can serve to improve the philosophical understanding between people, using the example of the ancient cultural comparison between Europe and China. From a modern philosophic perspective follwing intensive examination with both the classical texts of the moral theories and the practice of ethical techniques is intended to illustrate the strengths and weaknesses of the different directions in order to promote a mutual learning process. In this way, a conceptual foundation of moral-philosophical thought is aimed at, which is no longer based on the dominance of European thought, but exposes the view to an ethics of the equated, peaceful coexistence of human beings

In today's era of the coalescence of cultures, the question of cross-cultural ethics is of crucial importance. In view of the ever-repeated assertion that these great differences between European and outer-European thinking stand in the way, a critical review of such theses is made and proved that these are usually unauthorized. By following certain dominant European perspectives from ancient times to modern era, the volume exposes the ethnocentric aspects of the tradition of postconventional approaches. On the other hand, there are intensified similarities in time and space that are not sufficiently taken into account by many modern cultural-relativistic approaches. The volume tries to initiate a new intercultural dialogue on ethics by breaking down prejudices on both sides.

In contrast to the dominant scientific concepts of human beings, which have especially gained a stronger public impact through recent research on brain physiology, but also in a critical delimitation towards mental metaphysical ideas, which have determined the ethical discussion of the European tradition for 2500 years, this volume deals with the elaboration of fundamentals of an anthropology that is based on ethical phenomena and the moral quality of man. These are understood as a specific way of human existence, whose roots reach deep into the life of the body. Between the neuronal fire on the one hand and the 'spirit' of the 'soul' or the 'consciousness' on the other side, a critical consideration is to be found in empirical phenomena, with the concept of the body, its vitality, its mnemonic potency and its ability to communicate an orientated terminological foundation, on which both the further personal ethics with the founded moral emotions on it as well as an intercultural comparing of ancient ethics concepts can build up.

A modern ethics needs a conceptual foundation which adequately takes the emotional and intellectual aspects of man into consideration. This is offered in the present Ethical Anthropology with the term of the person, to which the understanding belongs the term of the personal identity, the freedom of will and responsibility as well as the attitude and the conscience. Its development requires a phenomenological-historical view on the understanding of feelings and thinking in European culture, which reveals those aspects which were largely pushed back by the dominant branch of metaphysics in its relevance to the moral foundation. From this perspective, personal ethics explores its basis in emotional experience, without an understanding of moral quality is impossible, and this is discussed with the example of the feeling of sympathy which is found in a moral sense. But moral feelings alone are not sufficient, but require critical support through reason and through an effort for self-cultivation. Only then can they form part of the balanced path to the success of life, which allows man to counter his moral potency in the fulfillment of his life.

The virtue ethics, which has been intensified discussed since the second half of the 20th century, is now a major alternative to the established formal approaches of the metaphysical European tradition of ethics. This is because it can look back on a long history which coincides with the beginning of written philosophy in Greek and Chinese antiquity. The knowledge of the high ethical level of these approaches has been pushed back into the background for a long time, due to the ideological attitudes which have taken place during European Christianization and the persistent misleading polemic. Another non-critical and problematic effect was the uncritical use of the term 'deontological', which had been torn out of the antique context and applied to concepts that were directed against virtuous approaches. The present volume aims to help to overcome these shortcomings and confusion. In doing so it elaborates an intercultural perspective that, based on the ancient Chinese virtue ethics, offers a detailed comparison with Greek approaches. The result of this detailed presentation and intensive philosophical penetration shows not only the cross - cultural anthropological relevance of virtuous ethics, but also the fact that the ancient theories of self - cultivation can also open up perspectives for today 's people who can provide valuable guidance in a time of progressive formalization on the way to a subject-centric self-perfection.
