Time: 17:30-19:00

Location:  Room 101, NYU Shanghai

（上海市浦东新区世纪大道1555号上海纽约大学101）

The Tang dynasty (618-907 CE) “brand” has persisted in East Asia for more than millennia after the empire’s fall. “Brand” here refers to a type of style in living, culture, and art. The Tang dynasty also features the only woman to become emperor thus far in Chinese history. Arguably, the northern nomadic tribes and the flowering of the Silk Road had as much influence on the Tang brand and its social norms as the Han classical heritage. And yet, while later non-Han peoples invaded and conquered the geographical region of China—like the Yuan or the Qing dynasties—only the Tang is known as the “we” as opposed to “them.” A thousand years later, people still talk about the Mongol invaders whereas the Tang is regarded as one of the glorious dynasties of China. Using textual and archaeological/visual materials, Liu will talk about the Tang dynasty, its arts and the cultural impact of its branding on Chinese identity today.

Introduction and moderation of the Q&A by Zhao Lu, Assistant Professor of Global China Studies, NYU Shanghai; Global Network Assistant Professor, NYU.

唐朝虽已灭亡千年，但如今的东亚地区仍然可见所谓的唐朝遗风。“唐风”代表了唐朝独有的生活方式、文化特征和艺术风格。唐朝诞生了中国历史上唯一一位女皇帝武则天。可以说，北方的游牧民族和丝绸之路带来的外族文化对唐朝风俗的影响并不比汉民族传统文化来得小。虽然后来其他少数民族也统治过中国，例如元朝和清朝时期，但是只有唐朝通常被中国人认同并承认是“我们”而不是“他们”。千年以后，人们仍然会谈论元朝蒙古入侵，而唐朝则被称为是中国历史上最辉煌的朝代之一。本次讲座将通过文本、绘画等文物史料展现唐朝的文化艺术，并探讨“唐风”对“中国认同”的影响。

本次活动由上海纽约大学全球中国学助理教授、纽约大学全球体系助理教授赵璐主持。
