"This book examines the history of different versions of the legend of Prince Golden Calf and sheds light on important aspects of Chinese culture as manifested and interpreted in China and Korea. It highlights various cultural connotations of cows and how they hold a central place not only in Chinese agriculture but also in terms of China's ethnic composition, religious symbolism, landscape names, and other famous Chinese stories involving cows. The book also further position the story in a broader global framework. This study broadens the fields of translation of and research on East Asian religion, literature, and culture by expanding our knowledge in Asian studies, folklore studies, and the study of animal representations in literature. Its transcultural and transregional approach lays the foundation for a new, innovative, and inclusive perspective on the development of premodern East Asian literature and culture"--

This is a translation of the fourth Joseon king Sejong’s Worin cheon’gang-ji gok, which celebrates Śākyamuni Buddha’s life and praises his merits. The work is valuable in the study of linguistics as it uses the early form of Hunmin jeongeum (Proper Sounds to Instruct the People). It is also regarded as the gem of Buddhist literature with the harmony of religion and literature. Its title is an analogy of the teaching of the Buddha preached to the sentient beings to the moon reflected in a thousand rivers. As the Prince Suyang (the later King Sejo) composed and submitted the Seokbo sangjeol 釋譜詳節 (Abbreviated and Particularized Account of the Life of Śākyamuni) in 1447 that describes the life, previous lives, and teachings of the Buddha, King Sejong changed it into verses. The Worin cheon’gang-ji gok was published in three volumes in 1449. It was published again with the Seokbo sangjeol under the title of Worin seokbo 月印釋譜 (The Moon Reflected and the Biography of the Buddha). Only 194 cantos in the first volume and some cantos in the second volume of the Worin cheon’gang-ji gok have survived. It is thought that there were approximately 580 cantos in total in three volumes. Now, there are approximately 440 cantos that include cantos from the Worin seokbo. It gives a vivid depiction that the Buddha descended from Tuṣita Heaven; he was born and raised as crown prince; he cultivated practice and attained awakening after leaving the palace through four excursions; and finally he taught sentient beings and passed away. The appendix of this English translation includes the original images of the first volume of the Worin cheon’gang-ji gok.

Als de zwaluw terugkeert naar zijn nest, treft hij daar een mussen-familie aan die niet van plan is te vertrekken. De feniks zal recht moeten spreken in deze gevoelige kwestie. Ook de luis wil verhaal halen, bij de vlo en de bedwants. En het is de ziel van de buffel die zijn klacht richt tot de heerser van de onderwereld. Zo leren we dat ook dieren elkaar leed toebrengen. Hoewel het leed dat mensen hen aandoen waarschijnlijk groter is. Duizend jaar zal de buffel zich beklagen over de ondank van de mens, terwijl hij zich zó heeft uitgesloofd. Wilt Idema laat ons kennismaken met de mooiste dierenfabels uit China en voorziet alle verhalen van een toelichting.

Exploring what it means to be human through the Korean diaspora, Caroline Kim’s stories feature many voices. From a teenage girl in 1980’s America, to a boy growing up in the middle of the Korean War, to an immigrant father struggling to be closer to his adult daughter, or to a suburban housewife whose equilibrium depends upon a therapy robot, each character must face their less-than-ideal circumstances and find a way to overcome them without losing themselves. Language often acts as a barrier as characters try, fail, and momentarily succeed in connecting with each other. With humor, insight, and curiosity, Kim’s wide-ranging stories explore themes of culture, communication, travel, and family. Ultimately, what unites these characters across time and distance is their longing for human connection and a search for the place—or people—that will feel like home.

The History of Korea presents a chronological account of Korea from ancient days, over 2000 B. C, to modern 20th century Korea. Hulbert said that Korea and Japan have the same two racial types, but Japan is mostly Malay and Korea is mostly Manchu-Korean. He claimed that Korea is physically mostly of the northern type, but also said that the nation, being physically mostly of the northern type, did not disprove Hulbert's claim that the Malay element developed Korea's first civilization, although not necessarily originating Korea's first civilization, and the Malay element imposed its language in its main features in the entire peninsula.

For centuries, although strongly influenced by the Chinese, Koreans have maintained a unique civilization with their own language, social organization, food, national costume, political institutions, and customs. The disruptions of the 20th century have included a long and difficult period of foreign rule and a devastating civil war. However, Koreans continue to prize their traditional culture, and the younger generations have embraced Koreanness with a determination to assert Korea's place in the world. Culture and Customs of Korea artfully depicts the past and present in North and South Korea with chapters on the story of the Korean people, thought and religion, arts and literature, performing arts, daily life and folkways, life in a Korean village, life in urban Korean, and gender, marriage, and the lives of Korean women. A chronology and glossary supplement the text.
