Автор: Skinner Stephen Название: Original Eight Mansions Formula ISBN: 1533507481 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781533507488 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 35750.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The Original Chou Shu Door Opening Method, the key to Eight Mansions feng-shui from a rare 1739 text. Originally the Eight Mansions formula was used to determine the best main door positions. The positioning of the main door is much more critical than the utilisation of the interior rooms. This formula finally solves the problem that has perplexed many modern practitioners: as to which (the building or the apartment) entrance should be used for feng-shui calculations. This text dates back over 250 years. It predates many Chinese texts, and is definitely much older and more authentic than anything else available in English on the Eight Mansions. This classic examines each of the 24 Mountain sitting positions. The translation comes with facing Chinese text, and the original illustrations.

Описание: The essays in New Mansions for Music: Performance, Pedagogy and Criticism look at one of the most ancient and rigorous classical musical traditions of India, the Karnatik music system, and the kind of changes it underwent once it was relocated from traditional spaces of temples and salons to the public domain. Nineteenth-century Madras led the way in the transformation that Karnatik music underwent as it encountered the forces of modernization and standardization. This study also contributes to our understanding of the experience of modernity in India through the prism of music. The role of Madras city as patron and custodian of the performing arts, especially classical music offers an invaluable perspective on the larger processes of modernization in India. As the title suggests, the areas of classical music, which were most influenced by these developments were pedagogy or modes of musical transmission, performance conventions and criticism or music appreciation. Once the urban elite demanded the widening of the teaching of classical music, traditional modes of music instruction underwent a major change involving a breakdown of the gurushishya parampara or the tradition wherein the teacher imparted knowledge to a chosen few. Caste and kinship were important determining factors for the selection of these shishyas or students, but in modern institutions like the universities these boundaries had to be demolished. Simultaneously, the public staging of music brought the performer into a new relationship with his audience, especially as the art form became subject to validation and criticism by the newly emerging music critic. In an immensely readable book peppered with anecdotes and conversations with leading musicians and critics of the day, as well as humorous visual representations, part caricature, part satirical, the author describes a rapidly changing society and its new look in early twentieth century Madras.

One day, in the not-too-far-away future, a small group of animal friends gather in a wooded glen to share stories and nibble a few choice pine nuts and newly sprouted greens. This is a daily routine for a pair of chipmunks named Willie and Hinkie Dink, a large box turtle named Lulu, a porcupine named Scott, Jimmy and Darcy, a pair of the cutest mice you can imagine, Heather, a wood duck, a blue bird named Mark, and Ellen, a rabbit from the Glen. And to make the group complete, Hooter, the wise, old owl sits and listens and sleeps and offers his wisdom when he is awake.
On this day, Willie announces to his friends that he has been hearing strange messages.
"It's like someone is saying, 'hellooooo, is anyone there?'" Willie says.
"I think I have also heard the same thing," says Hinkie Dink. "Or at least I am sensing that someone is calling for me."
Heather, duck says that she has not heard these things but is very curious. "We should consult Hooter," she says. "He is, after all, a wise, old owl. He will know what to do."
Hooter, looking down from his perch, having just been awakened from one of his frequent naps, studies his friends and declares, "I do not hear anything myself, but I believe that Willie and Hinkie Dink are hearing or feeling something. I think we should organize a search at once."
