Introduction and link to the website that Dr. Agnes Hsu demonstrated during her lecture at the China Institute’s workshop, Confucius: A Multi-disciplinary Approach.

Welcome to the interactive, virtual reality tour of the “Wu Family Shrines” cemetery site. Developed by Professor Anthony Barbieri-Low of the University of Pittsburgh, this tour is designed to give the viewer a sense of how this archaeological site in Shandong Province may have looked during the Han Dynasty, around 150-170 CE. The user can investigate each of the key monuments, read translations of the major inscriptions, and examine the pictorial carvings in the three reconstructed stone chambers at the site. Links to high-quality rubbings of the carvings and summaries of the stories and legends they allude to will help the user comprehend the visual world of a funerary complex from the second century in northeast China.

Pinyin / Wade-Giles Pronunciation Guide

Overall Rating

This guide is designed to allow you to search Chinese syllables written in both pinyin and Wade-Giles spellings, the two most predominant systems of romanization for Chinese characters used in English language documents. Wade-Giles, so-called after the two developers, is an older system sometimes used in Western academic and popular publications. Pinyin, developed and implemented in the People’s Republic of China in the 1950′s, is today the more widely used system.
