“Books are for use” is the first law of the Five Laws of Library Science, which were proposed by S.R. Ranganathan, a mathematician and librarian from India. This section showcases scholarly publications by UCI East Asian studies faculty, as well as the UCI Libraries East Asian Collection materials that were used by scholars for their publications.

21. Classic Texts and Contemporary Research on I-Ching.
The I-Ching, also referred to as Yi-Jing or Zhou Yi (translated as “The Book of Changes” or “Classic of Changes”) is an ancient Chinese divination text, and the oldest of the Chinese classics. The I-Ching was the subject of scholarly commentary and the basis for divination practice for centuries across the Far East, and eventually took on an influential role in Western understanding of Eastern thought.
a. (At left) This 18th century illustrated woodblock book was printed in Japan, with original texts in Chinese and reading annotations in Japanese. It is one of only two copies in North America. The second copy is held at the Harvard University Library. The author, Baba Nobutake, was a medical practitioner, novelist and sinologist from Japan’s Edo period (1603-1868). Baba, Nobutake. Ekigaku Keimō Zusetsu 易學啓蒙圖說. Ōsaka: Kawachiya Yahē. 1700.
b. (At right) Old books influence modern scholarship. In The “I-Ching” a Biography, Richard J. Smith, professor emeritus at Rice University, displays two graphs on page 111 from Nobutake Baba’s Ekigaku Keimō Zusetsu (An Illustrated Introduction to I-Ching) to depict a divination table and the process of omen interpretation.
Professor Smith spent two weeks at the UCI Libraries conducting research for his book, The “I-Ching” a Biography. In this book, Smith traces I-Ching’s national and transnational travel route from within ancient China to East Asia and to the Western sphere. He also tracks the profound influence this Chinese classic work has had on the fields of philosophy, religion, art, literature, science, technology and medicine. Smith, J. Richard. The “I Ching” a Biography. California: Princeton University Press. 2012. Cover.
22. Classic Chinese Stories and Research.

(annotators). 八家评批红楼夢 Ba Jia Ping Pi Hong Lou Meng. Beijing: Wen hua yi shu chu ban she. 1991.
b. (At center) Originally written in English, this influential scholarly book on classic Chinese literature has been translated to Chinese. UCI’s East Asian Studies Professor Martin Huang, also a Hong Lou Meng expert, is a productive scholar. In this book, Huang used an analysis of the Chinese classic Hong Lou Meng, the commentaries edition held at the UCI Libraries, to argue that the development of the traditional Chinese fiction was closely related to Qing (affection), a fundamental desire. Huang, Martin. Desire and Fictional Narrative in Late Imperial China. Harvard; Harvard University Asia Center. 2001.
c. (At right) Chinese translation edition of Professor Martin Huang’s Desire and Fictional Narrative in Late Imperial China. Huang, Weizhong (author). Zhang, Yunshuang (translator). 中华帝国晚期的欲望与小说叙事 Desire and Fictional Narrative in Late Imperial China. Nanjing. Jiangsu ren min chu ban she. 2010.
23. Japanese and Chinese Poems and Japanese Literary Culture Research.
a. (At left) Wa-kan Rōeishū Zenyakuchū (A Complete Anthology of Japanese and Chinese Poems to Sing) was originally compiled and annotated by Fujiwara Kinto, a Japanese poet and court bureaucrat, of the Heian period likely in the 1st century. It was later translated and annotated in the 20th century by Japanese classic literature scholar Kawaguchi Hisao.
Kawaguchi, Hisao. Wa-kan Rōeishū Zenyakuchū 和漢朗詠集全訳注. Tōkyō: Kōdansha, 1982.
b. (At right) Ancient Chinese poems impact Japanese literature and culture studies. UCI Japanese literature Professor Susan Klein quotes Bo Juyi, the most influential ancient Chinese poet in Japan, to show the relationship between humans and Buddha in the view of the poet in his late years. The quote from Bo Juyi, translated in English by Susan Klein on page 181 of her book chapter “Wild words and syncretic deities…”, is from the original Kanji (Chinese) texts in Wa-kan Rōeishū Zenyakuchū on page 440.
Klein, Susan. Chapter “Wild words and syncretic deities: kyogen kigo and honji suijaku in medieval literary allegories.” Edited by Mark Teeuwen and Fabio Rambelli. Buddhas and Kami in Japan: Honji Suijaku as a Combinatory Paradigm. New York: RoutledgeCurzon. 2003. Page 181.

b. (At right) Scholarly communication takes place without the limitations of language. UCI Korean literature Professor Serk-Bae Suh’s specialty is nationalism and colonialism in Korea and Japan. In this book written in the English language, Professor Suh “examines the role of translation — the rendering of texts and ideas from one language to another, as both act and trope — in shaping attitudes toward nationalism and colonialism in Korean and Japanese intellectual discourse between the time of Japan’s annexation of Korea in 1910 and the passing of the colonial generation in the mid-1960s.”
Professor Suh cites pages 148-149 of Chʻŏn’s work Kŭndae ŭi chʻaek ilkki. These two pages explore how the Korean people kept their own writing tradition even though the Japanese imposed strict school education policies during the colonial period.

b. (At right) Electronic resources make scholarly activities more efficient. Recently retired political science Professor Emeritus Dorie Solinger, frequently uses the UCI Libraries online journal and statistical databases for her research.

b. (At right) Art books with alluring images are essential to art history research. UCI Art History Professor Roberta Wue examines how natural elements like bamboo and rock in a painting symbolize a scholar’s resilience. To make this assertion, Professor Wu uses sample paintings from Pan’s edited book Hai Shang Ming Jia Hui Hua as visual demonstration, including “Withered tree, bamboo and rock” on page 137. It was created by Gao Yong, 高邕, a modern Chinese artist from Shanghai who lived from 1850 to 1921.
