100 Years Of China’s All-Female Yue Opera
Jun’an Wang, Plum-Blossom Award Winner, Chinese Yue Opera Singer and Actress
Recorded on April 6, 2024
Oganized by Susanna Sun, PhD student in the joint program of East Asian Languages and Civilizations and Theatre and Performance Studies, this multi-media event celebrates the 100th anniversary of China’s all-female opera genre - Yue Opera. A special performance lecture will be given by the prestigious Jun’an Wang, a Plum-Blossom Award Winner-China’s highest national theatrical award. Ms. Wang will share insights into the onstage construction of masculinity through the female body and the process behind her portrayal of Song-Dynasty poet Liu Yong, a role that earned her the Plum-Blossom Award.
This event is co-sponsored by the Center for East Asian Studies at the University of Chicago, with support from a Title VI National Resource Center Grant from the U.S. Department of Education, the Franke Institute for the Humanities, the International House Global Voices Program, and the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations.

    Every time a white professor mentions ancient Black greatness, he reflects and degrades the conversation to slavery. Blacks were the first to have slaves and yes, they had blacks as slaves. Universities have become a place of indoctrination and skulduggery. The Olmec where very very advanced and traveled the seas. They are not African, they are the Indigenous Black Americans. Of course they made it to Southeast Asia. There are statues of Buddha that look just like The Olmec. This is what I found: Blacks in Asia China's first dynasty and emperor founded by King Tang (or Ta) who was black. The earliest documented rulership of China was the Shang Dynasty (or Chang) c1500-1008 BC, which is credited with bringing together the elements of China's earliest civilization. The Shang was given the name Nakhi (Na-Black, khi-Man) under the Black dynasty. The black Chinese established the basic forms of graceful calligraphy that has lasted to the present day. The first Chinese emperor, the legendary Fu-his (2953-2383 BC), was without doubt black and his African brothers and sisters established government, social institutions and cultural inventions. They are credited with the creation of the I Ching, or the `Book of Change' which is oldest most revered system of prophesy. It is know to have influenced the most distinguished philosophers of Chinese thought. Black offspring were responsible for the building of China's earth mounds pyramids, which are today mistaken for hills due to their eroded appearance in size. The pyramids in Japan are not made of stone indigenous to Japan. It is said that small black people (Mound-builders) built them during the Mu civilization. In later ages they were responsible in 210 BC for constructing an elaborate tomb for Qin Shi-Huaangi, his body is guarded by an army of soldiers warriors, made out of Terracotta. They are also credited with the building of the Great Wall of China. Quoting the works of Kwang-Chih Chang for the `The Archaeology of Ancient China' by Irwin Graham, in `African Abroad'-R Rashidi makes these two points. There is evidence of substantial population of Blacks in early China. Archaeological studies have located a black substratum in earliest Chinese history, and report of Major Kingdoms ruled by blacks are frequent in "Chinese documents" Nile Valley civilization " In the earliest Chinese history, several text in classical books spoke of these diminutive blacks; the ToHeu-Li composed under the dynasty of Teheu (1122-249BC) give description of the inhabitants with black features. Chinese folklore speak often of these blacks and mention an emperor of China named Li (373-397) consort of the emperor Hsiao Wu Wen who is spoken of as being black and kingdom of diminutive blacks in the south west of China. The sacred manchu dynasty shows a great strain of black people. Emperor Pu-yi of Manchikuo, direct descendants of the Manchu ruler of China is most distinctly black. "Chinese Chronicle reports that a black empire existed in the south of China at the beginning of the country's history". Cheikh Anta Diop, 'Black Origin of civilization'. The ancient black royal house of China (1766-1100 BC) called the Chiang (Shang) contributed mightily to China's earliest known civilization. James E. Brunson's `Black Presence in Early', and Joseph S. Rock, `The Ancient Naki Kingdom of South West China, all detail the presence of black in ancient China. ly Asia!Here is my proof the original Chinese/Asians of China were African/Li Min!

    I suggest you investigate more about the xinjian dance to explain the difference. it is basically Tajik/Iranian dance, it is easy to find its root in youtube that goes to Persian or a subcategory of Iranian dance style. Just looking at the youtube videos to find and clarify the reality of culture of people from xinjian. It is helpful for them to protect their culture against two brutal forces from the Chinese government that wants to impose the mainland china culture and language and from the West that they want to Islamize these people.

    A brilliant lecture on the subject of transmission of astrology into Tang dynasty China. Dr. Kotyk references and cites many Chinese MMS, but also Sanskrit, Sogdian, Persian sources. I particularly appreciated his distinction of time periods when various systems of Chinese astral sciences were developed and in use. This lecture focusses on the Tang dynasty and the Buddhist use of astrology. The Q&A session at the end will be of particular interest to students who are curious about the differences between horoscopy and geomancy. Thank you CEAS University of Chicago for starting the lecture series with Jeffrey Kotyk.
