The United States Harvard Sinologist series "two tigers" version of Chinese dynasty song ■ Department of Harvard open content online "Chinese course" ■ course registration number has nearly 30000 In October 31st this year, the Harvard University in edX platform (MIT University and Harvard University in 2012 April to create massive open online teaching platform) issued a "Chinese course" video. The course of East Asian Languages and civilizations by Harvard professor Peter K. Bol and Harvard Business School professor, Department of history, and the William C. Kirby speaker. Course video, Peter K. Bol and William C. Kirby two professors to sing the song with "two tigers" adaptation "Chinese dynasty song": "Shang Zhou Qin, Qin and Han Dynasties of Sui and Tang Dynasties of Sui and Tang Dynasties Shang and Zhou dynasties, song, song. The Yuan Ming and Qing Dynasties Republic (Note: the Republic of China, the Yuan Ming and Qing Dynasties) Republic, Mao Zedong Mao Zedong." This song is a adorable, turning a large audience. Also the netizen points out three dynasties absent, so the self-designed "Twinkle" version of the Xia and Shang Dynasty Song: "two Zhou Qin, Han Han the Three Kingdoms and jin. Liang Yanzhao, Xia Hanqin, Hu Nan Cheng Jin Bei Ji. The Sui and Tang Dynasties, Song Yuan Ming and Qing Xia Liaojin two, the Chinese people." Which means In the course, Peter K. Bol and William C. Kirby from the time (Dynasty), space (region, natural geography, climate) and identity (nation, written language) and other basic dimensions of Chinese summary. Bao Bide mentioned in the introduction, Dynasty, he used to teach the students to sing a song, with remember the main Dynasty, in order to help students and two professors, sang the song "two tigers" adapted from the "Chinese dynasty song". Peter K. Bo said: "these Chinese we did not exactly sure what it means, but we know they have a certain meaning, is used to refer to certain characteristics." In the view of Peter K. Bol and William C. Kirby, named Chinese dynasty obviously with the English Tudor and Stuart are not the same, "until the Mongols (Until the Mongols), Chinese dynastic name is actually names, different from the rule in the form of family. In fact, it is never -- even some more quality Chinese ideology, such as the yuan, Ming, Qing, -- not the ruling family name. For example, the Ming Dynasty is the world. The Han Dynasty is the Liu family of the world. This is strange, because you will feel a seized control of most of the government power family will want to name their associated with the dynasty in any case, but in fact are not." Identity discrimination In the Chinese history, the two professors also used the "identity" and "nation" concept. Peter K. Bol said: "a lot of people think, people is a modern term, is the link between the state and citizen concept. Only in the ethnically similar populations, can build a nation. Such an understanding, applicable to China?" China has the "China" and "barbarians" two concepts in the very early, early liberation, distinguish between the Han and minority ethnic groups, it is because "the government hopes to follow the pattern of the Soviet Union, to distinguish the minority, this is one of the achievements in the cause of. Stalin in the Soviet Union to do so, Mao Zedong believed that China also have this need". Peter K. Bol mentioned, he a colleague at the Stanford University, Tom Mullaney in about a months time, has put the survey done very good. The survey of 56 people, today is still 56. At that time, some ethnographers and sociologists are Yunnan province to clear up these data. And the local ethnic minorities don't even know what they are doing. "Then, become the minority, is positive, or negative? Even today, some people would ask." Peter K. Bol said, "if we recall the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, nineteenth Century of the Hakka people, when they are, as we call today's' Han 'opposite. Han calls himself 'native'. Native and Hakka people against, that is a different ethnicity." Nowadays, the concept of nation and country are gradually being convergence. In the "Harvard China Education" page, write the Harvard of offering this course intention: "modern China exhibited double vision: a desire to become the world's leading society through economic development and infrastructure investment. The world's largest, oldest of bureaucratic state, have a lot of tradition in culture, economy, politics. Society and the form of Chinese contemporary with the experience of Chinese history indelible imprint, regardless of is the philosophy, religion, or social and political thought and time. Understanding of the twenty-first Century China and understand the history of the Chinese civilization is inseparable."
