The Formation and Solidarity of Buddhist Nuns' Identity in Post-war Taiwan
[Abstract]
Yu-Chen Li
PDF

This article examines how ordination and education have affected the formation of Taiwanese bhikshunisangha, and consequently nuns’ autonomy, highlighting the historical context of these processes. The Three-Platform Ordination system that initiated women of this monastic lineage in Taiwan legitimized itself by appealing to canonical texts; such emphasis on canonical texts inadvertently led to text-based monastic education for nuns. With the knowledge supplied by canonical study, Taiwanese nuns demanded Dual Ordination in accordance with textual requirements, and in this way built up their institutional autonomy. After the 1980s, monastic education and secular education converged as college-educated women entered monastic life. These “nuns with Bachelor’s degrees” (and later with Master’s and Doctoral degrees) have expanded the scope of Buddhist social engagement as well as established their self-identity as religious professionals since the 1990s, even demanding the appellation of “professional religious teachers” for themselves.
This article analyzes the key events and leading figures in the formation and consolidation of Taiwanese bhikshunisangha. The first section discusses the mass ordination of Taiwanese women and the role of female ritual assistants in the post-war period; second, the Dual Ordination and the establishment of the bhikshuniientity; third, the shift of focus of bhikshunieducation from monastic discipline to canonical study; fourth, the scholarly nuns and the “rectification of names” for the bhikshunis; and fifth, the emergence of bhikshuni self-identity as professional religious teachers.

"Benglou" (Metrorrhagia and Metrostaxis) and Female Bodies in Jinpingmei
[Abstract]
Yuan-Yuan Cheng

By probing into the way Chinese physicians of the late Ming treated the female disease “benglou,” this article analyzes the relationship between pre-modern Chinese medicine and the narrative strategy of Jinpingmei. It also examines how the disease benglou was used as a metaphor in this fiction. In the late Ming dynasty, medical books and fiction were both mediums of medical concepts. However, since reality is not merely narrated but reconstructed in fiction, these two mediums presented different body cognition. Thus, to understand the view of body throughout the whole fiction, we need to analyze the physician’s perception of the body, medical treatment, narrative strategy, and the mythological essence of the disease in fiction. Late Ming physicians engaged in two forms of diagnosis and treatment of benglou. First, they focused on the relationship between emotion and viscera. As far as the author of Jinpingmei was concerned, this was one of the knowledge structures of disease writing. By describing the living situation of Li Ping’er(李瓶兒), the author of Jinpingmei tried to express how sad, angry, and depressed she was, and thereby constructed the context of the disease. Second, late Ming physicians argued that violating the taboo against sex caused benglou. Hence, “blood” became a metaphor of crossing boundaries and death. In accordance with this view, it is necessary to consider the deaths of both Ping’er and Ximen Qing(西門慶), since the latter died from excessive sex. As for narrative pattern, Jinpingmei relates the cause of disease, symptoms, pulse conditions, pathology, prognosis, and medical prescription in great detail. There are both correct and mistaken diagnoses in the novel. In comparison with medical books, readers could see ambiguous simplications in the medical treatment. As well, both the authors of Jinpingmei and medical books tended to describe the connection between the body and the natural order. In
conclusion, just like the medical discourse in late Ming period, it is shown that the female body in Jinpingmei is not only a “reproductive body” but also a “moral body.” The way of forming the body reveals the disease as a profound metaphor. Furthermore, we can also comprehend the fiction and the historical context through the philosophy of medical practice.

Sexual Culture and Periodical Publication: A Case Study of Ling Long, 1931-1937
[Abstract]
Pui-Lam Cheung

This article focuses on the magazine Ling Long, published in Shanghai in the 1930s. I first analyze its changing cultural significance from 1931 to 1937, and then turn to the period from 1935 to 1937, during which the chief editor, Peng Zhaoliang (1901-63), introduced sexual theories, mainly from the West, to the magazine’s readers.
This article highlights two significant transformations in
Ling Long
’s style in 1934 and 1935 respectively. Thus the magazine’s content can be divided into early, middle, and later periods.
Ling Long
first published discourses on women’s daily life, then switched to discussions of the New Life Movement and Women’s Boycott Movement, and in the later period was transformed into a sex magazine, shaped by the newly-assigned editor Peng Zhaoliang’s interest in studying sexual culture.
Moreover, I show that
Ling Long
’s so-called “female editor Chen Zhenling” was in fact a fictional identity shared by different editors. They all revealed their own understandings about how “
she
” would react. As the last editor, Peng Zhaoliang subtly introduced two theories proposed by Zhang Jingsheng — the “theory of New Women as center”and the concept of “love play,” leading to a new tone in
Ling Long
’s viewpoints about marriage. Thus
Ling Longr
eflected the development of popular sexology in 1930s.
Peng’s translations and uses of Western sexology particularly of British sexologist Havelock Ellis, exploring how Peng’s discussions contributed to the magazine’s cultural style. At the same time, I examine Peng’s notions of sex/gender by highlighting the different nuances between his translations and Ellis’s work. I conclude by pointing out the contradiction between Peng’s male-centered views and
Ling Long
’s self-positioning as a “women’s mouthpiece.”
