In this week's episode, we will talk about the Chinese ports system. Dr. Li Zigui from the Sun Yat-sen University in China will tell us her latest research about China’s effort in river navigation since the Opium War. She will explore the treaty port system’s impact on local society and China’s modernization trajectory in the late 19th century. Dr Li was invited by the University of Hong Kong to give a talk entitled “The Counterparty to Chinese Business: The Upper Yangtze Steam Navigation Scheme and the Opening of Chungking.”

In this week's episode, we will talk about the presence of Shijing poetry during the Warring States. A substantial number of Warring States and Western Han texts related to the Shijing have come to light in recent years, including philosophical treatises containing Shijing quotations, Shijing poems in historical anecdotes, and several partial or even full versions of the anthology itself. Professor Martin Kern will help us to explore how it was transmitted, how it was used and understood, and how its different interpretations shaped the written text in particular ways. He was invited by the New Asia College and the Department of Chinese Language and Literature of CUHK and Hong Kong Public Libraries to give a talk entitled “The Shijing in the Warring States: Evidence from Newly Discovered Manuscripts.”
