PREFACE
PACAF Basic Bibliographies , sponsored by the
Commander-in - Chief, Pacific Air Forces , are selective
subject guides prepared as an aid in the fulfillment of the
mission of Air Force libraries in the Pacific area: to
provide reading materials for research, reference , job
information , self- education , collateral reading assistance
in formal education and training courses , and for leisure
time recreational reading . I
Through the annotations , the continuously
revised bibliographies serve both as book selection guides
for specific research and reference collections required
by the technician in his assigned Air Force mission, and
also for the general reader who uses the Base Library for
self-improvement and recreational reading.
1 August 1958 PACAF Bibliography Committee
This supplement is intended for use with Basic
Bibliography CHINA, TAIWAN, HONG KONG , dated 15
August 1969 As in the basic work, the purpose is to
present a selective list of books regarding Chinese
countries .
The emphasis in this supplement is on publica
tions published during 1969-1970 ; however, earlier
publications not included in the Basic Bibliography were
entered because the bibliographer felt they were useful for
research and PACAF libraries . Reprint editions of
classic and long-out-of-print sources have been included .
Also , a new section on overseas Chinese has been added
for a more comprehensive outlook on the subject. Incom
plete bibliographic entries have been included because they
were not yet included in the NATIONAL UNION CATALOG
or replies from correspondence in foreign areas have not
yet been received .

"Professor Franke of the University of
Hamburg has been diligently studying Ming
history since the late 1930's. This volume
is a completely revised edition of his
PRELIMINARY NOTES ON THE IMPORTANT
CHINESE LITERARY SOURCES FOR THE
HISTORY OF THE MING DYNASTY (1368-1644) ,
published in 1948 when he was teaching in
China. It classifies and annotates 800 criti
cally selected titles . Franke included
authoritative works recently published or
reprinted in China, Japan , and Taiwan.
Biographical references and bibliographical
notes are abundant . A special reference
feature found throughout the volume is the
exceptionally rich provisions of Chinese
characters for proper nouns . Until a more
definitive study is published , this general
introduction to the historical sources of
Ming is an essential reference work for
special collections . " LJ 15 Dec 69 " An

• O Confucius had the utmost respect for
tradition, but he was commonsensical about
the needs of the present and the future ; indeed,
his teachings , heightened by ritual, are never
theless always tart (' He fished but not with a
net ; shot but not at sitting birds ' ) and pointed
(' a country does not profit by making profits ,
its equity is its profit ') . Ezra Pound , in a
note to his popular translations of THE GREAT
DIGEST , THE UNWOBBLING PIVOT , and THE
ANALECTS , all three brought together here in
one edition , asks us to pay particular heed to
the Master's seemingly simplistic doctrines
3
since they contain the stuff of which stability
and justice are made . He forgets , however,
Confucius ' failure as a politician ; it was only
after his death that the glorification began,
and his proverbs became de rigueur for
officialdom .Pound's renderings , incidentally,
have been disputed by scholars , but they've a
11
craggy beauty all their own , like his verse .

"A review of Chinese Communist treatment of
religious bodies and groups during the first 20
years of the People's Republic of China. The
study opens with an analysis of the constitu
tional provisions regarding religion and an ac
count of the ideological bases for the present
Chinese opinion toward major faiths of Western
and Eastern origin . Succeeding chapters record
the efforts made by Chinese officials to eradicate
foreign missions and related institutions with
religious orientations , and describe the predica

" Ch'an Buddhism is thought of by the West now
almost entirely in terms of Zen, its Japanese
derivative . While it is true that Chinese Ch'an
disappeared some 700 years ago , Zen remains ,
and its origins are squarely in Ch'an, as these
translations of early Chinese documents show
very well. This is a selection of portions of
THE TRANSMISSION OF THE LAMP, accounts

of Chinese masters compiled in 1004. They
are well translated , and each of the seven
sections has a useful explanatory introduc
tion. The parts are arranged to show a
progression from basic tenets to methods of
transmission, notably the irrational kung- an ,
physical force, and the nonintellective res -
ponse. A valuable addition to the translated
documents of Buddhism, but for special rather
than general collections . " LJ 15 Dec 69

CHINA Harvard Univ 1968 358p
biblio $ 11.95 68-15646
"Was there a revival of Buddhism in China
during the first half of the 20th - century ?
Before this century , the Christian missionaries
and other Westerners found Buddhism moribund
or dissolute . After the century began they
suddenly found a revival of Buddhist life , faith ,
and practice . Welch, assistant director for the
Center for the Study of World Religions , Harvard,
offers a detailed study of Chinese Buddhism
showing that it never was as moribund as
Westerners thought, and thus no revival occured .
Western ignorance or misunderstanding clouded
our knowledge of the true situation in China , and
this volume very ably helps to correct this mis
taken viewpoint . It is an excellent study which
brings alive the personalities and conflicts faced
by Buddhism and China from the new forces of
modernization as well as attacks by Christians
and Confucianists or from Nationalist regulation
between 1900-50 . An excellent set of notes and
a fine bibliography enhance the volume as do the
photographs by Henri Cartier- Bresson. This
study is the second of three volumes . (Volume
I covers the practice of Buddhism 1900-50 , and
volume III will treat buddhism under the present
Communist government, ) " CHOICE Sep 69

Proven archaelogical discoveries indicate
that the Chinese had a writing system 1800
years before Christ. Symbols utilized were
greatly stylized to presuppose the passage of
a long past. The aim of this book is to give
students the power of visualization and the
study of symbolic characters . Vaccari has
broken the symbols into rough sketch outlines
as performed 1000 years ago and two gradual
simple forms with modification and as they
are written now since the 2nd century B.C.

erected the fabulous Summer Palace out
side Peking with funds diverted from her
Empire's national defense needs ) and her
nephew, the earnest but timid young
Emperor , are vividly chronicled in nine
scenes covering episodes from 1887 to
1900. The Emperor's beautiful concubine
Lady Chen is made the brave yet helpless
foil for the vicious arrogance of ' Old
Buddha ', the Dowager, whose machinations
result in the fall of the Manchus despite
the Emperor's idealism and unfufilled plans
for government reform . Both Yao's play
and its movie version were initially popular
but received short shrift from political
authorities , first the Japanese and later
Mao's censors -who discerned that theater
goers were equating the Dowager with aspects

strong, detail - illuminating colors , while suitable
for the depiction of the sculpture and lacquer
