One of the hottest issues in contemporary Turkish politics involves the question of whether Islamic dress (in particular, women's head scarves) should be allowed to be worn in public buildings. It seems a bit strange that something as apparently personal as a head covering would be causing such an uproar in a western-styled democracy. But headgear figures prominently in modern Turkish history and national identity witness the Turkish government's own account of the matter, a bracing read entitled " Hat Reform and the Revolution in Dress November 17, 2002 Reading the unreadable. "In 1864, the French lay missionary Eugène Eyraud the first known non-Polynesian resident of Earth's most isolated inhabited island, Easter Island reported in a letter to his superior that he had seen there 'in all the houses' hundreds of tablets and staffs incised with thousands of hieroglyphic figures..." In the world of alphabets and writing systems, there are only a few big unsolved mysteries. There's Etruscan, some varieties of ancient Persian, the Mayan glyphs, and (leave it to Easter Island), the 'Talking boards', semi-translated and related to just about nothing else, at least if you discount rumors of a connection with the also-undeciphered writing of the Indus valley civilizations, 4000 years previous and half a world a way.

METEO Zhao Tailai : un collectionneur anglais d'origine chinoise Zhao Tailai, légèrement chauve, est une personne qui se néglige. Malgré son apparence ordinaire, il a fait don à la partie continentale de la Chine des objets d’art et anciens d’une grande valeur. Zhao Tailai, de nationalité anglaise, est originaire de Dongguan, province du Guangdong. Son arrière grand-père maternel est Monsieur Wu Tingfang, célèbre diplomate qui a été successivement ministre de la Justice du gouvernement provisoire de la République de Chine, ministre des Affaires étrangères et premier ministre provisoire du gouvernement de Li Yuanhong, ministre des Affaires étrangères du gouvernement militaire de Sun Yat-sen et gouverneur de la province du Guangdong. Les titres distingués et les riches ressources matérielles ont contribué à une grande collection d’objets anciens de la famille. Zhao Tailai a commencé à faire don d’objets anciens à la partie continentale de la Chine en 1991. Cette année-là, il a offert au Musée d’Histoire de Chine des oeuvres calligraphiques et picturales des Qing, toutes authentiques d’après l’expertise de Liu Jiu’an et de Yu Weichao. Plus tard, il a fait don de plus de 7 000 pièces d’objets anciens au Musée de Yancheng, province du Jiangsu, au Musée d’art de Guangzhou et au jardin Baomoyuan de Panyu, province du Guangdong. Ce dernier, situé au pays natal de Zhao Tailai, a reçu le plus grand nombre de dons. Récemment construit avec un style typique de Lingnan et un milieu pittoresque, ce jardin devient aujourd’hui l’un des sites à ne pas manquer des touristes de Hongkong, de Maocao, de Taiwan et du delta du Zhujiang.

Lin Zexu Imperial Commissioner of the Qing Court who firmly advocated the ban of opium Opium addicts of the Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911) China: The Civil Law Tradition (Source: Dr. Zhenmin WANG, Tsinghua University, Beijing, PRC) The current Chinese legal system derives from the socialist legal system, although, originally, was based on European continental Roman law tradition. The latter, however, was adopted after a long period of dominance by the oriental traditional natural economy and Confucian culture. In order for China to be treated equally with other countries in international affairs and to survive when pounded by the western modern capitalist civilization, Confucian culture had to be replaced (by the Oing government) with a more advanced legal system. The choice of Roman law was the end of a transitional experience during which civil law, common law and Japanese law were confusingly coexisting in the Chinese Legal System under the Oing era. Nevertheless, the Oing government itself, after suppressing the 1898 Reform Movement led by Kang Youwei and Ling Oichao (who represented the new liberal bourgeoisie), launched a reform movement which was focused on legal reform.

The Transnational (and Subnational) Worlds of Shanghai Newspaper Culture Bryna Goodman (University of Oregon) (draft prepared for the Urban Cultural Institutions in Early Twentieth Century China symposium; not to be cited) This paper is, in part, a response to a question posed at another conference on Shanghai, one which explicitly posed the much debated, if somewhat wearisome, question of civil society. The question, for papers dealing with the Republican era, was, "To what extent was Shanghai civil society in this period part of a global community?" Posing the civil society question this way, to me, suddenly offered a way out of the constraints of my thinking about "things public"I'm consciously avoiding using the terms "Chinese public sphere" or "Chinese civil society"in Shanghai. In talking about public associations and the press my tendency had been to identify them as Chinese . This locked me into both a rather static notion of Chinese culture, identity and behavioreven as I argued against such a thing and also averted my eye from all of the ways in which such cultural identification simply did not fit what I was seeing. My current research project involves various sites of the cultural production of new public behavior and notions of new public spaces in Shanghai in the early Republican era. Newspapers and newspaper culture are a prominent part of the story. Just a short engagement with the Shanghai newspaper world reveals how problematic the "Chinese" label is for many aspects of the Chinese language press of the city. Part of the point of this paper is to trace, in a preliminary fashion, the multiple ways in which the early Republican-era Chinese newspapers of Shanghai exceeded national labels and were transnational, in ways that need to be addressed and analyzed.

Late Chinese Minister to the United States of America, Spain, Peru, Mexico and Cuba; recently Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of Justice for the Provincial Government of the Republic of China, etc. Preface Of all nations in the world, America is the most interesting to the Chinese. A handful of people left England to explore this country: gradually their number increased, and, in course of time, emigrants from other lands swelled the population. They were governed by officials from the home of the first settlers, but when it appeared to them that they were being treated unjustly, they rebelled and declared war against their rulers, the strongest nation on the face of the earth. After seven years of strenuous, perilous, and bloody warfare, during which thousands of lives were sacrificed on both sides, the younger race shook off the yoke of the older, and England was compelled

About the website Legal Articles In Association with Supported by Universities and Organisations throughout the World The Civil Law Tradition in China and Its Future Development By Dr Zhenmin WANG Department of Law Tsinghua University Beijing, The People's Republic of China The current Chinese legal system belongs to the socialist legal system, but it originally derived from the European continental Roman law tradition. How was this tradition established in China? Why did China finally choose Roman law instead of common law when China launched its legal reform movement at the end of last century and at the beginning of this century. How was it developed and reformed afterwards? Since China implements the "one country two systems" policy to realize its re-unification, with Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, what possible changes will the Chinese legal system undergo? I will examine these questions so as to explore the course of development of the Chinese legal system, and to highlight the significant factors at work. I.
