DEPARTMENT OF EAST ASIAN STUDIES
Chairman of Department: Professor H. F. SIMON, B.A. (Land.), M.А.
The department of East Asian Studies was established in 1961 thanks to a generous grant from the Myer Foundation. The department of East Asian Studies offers courses in Chinese language and literature (a three year pass course and a four year honours course, either pure or combined).
In Japanese language and literature (a three year pass course) and in East Asian Studies 1 (a first year course in the history and politics of China and Japan, leading to majors or two year sequences in history or political science).
It should be noted that no preliminary study of any kind is required for any of these courses. Faculty has approved exemption from first year Chinese or Japanese for students who have some knowledge of any of these languages attested by having passed the H.S.C. examination or in some other way. Members of staff of the department will gladly discuss their courses with intending students in December or January or at any other time of the year. It is advisable to make an appoinment for inter- view with the secretary.
Course details for Chinese are to be found on pp. 109-118, for Japanese on pp. 118-122 and for East Asian Studies 1 on pp. 122-124. There are some quite useful Introductory remarks and a full list of subjects under each heading. In summary the subjects offered are as follows:

The Chinese Language
The Chinese are proud of a civilization which is second to none. One of the most remarkable features of this civilization is that it has been carried in the one language by the one people over a period of some 4,000 years.
We have a wealth of literature in many fields. There are written texts which cover the last two and a half millennia of this period as well as inscriptions on bronzes and oracle bones which go back much further.
A knowledge of written Chinese will put within one's reach what is probably the largest corpus of literature known to us in any one language.
But it is necessary to distinguish three main forms of written Chinese:
classical, early modern and modern. Classical Chinese has a structure and vocabulary broadly based on the written language of the 5th century B.C. Early modern and modern Chinese, on the other hand, are based on the spoken language current at the time at which the texts were written. There are, therefore, fundamental and strongly marked differences of structure, style and vocabulary between the three forms.
Modern Chinese may be dated from the beginning of this century, whilst early modern Chinese may be said to have its early beginnings in the middle Chinese of the 6th century A.D. and to have produced its first major creative works, the plays of the Ylan period, in the 13th century.
Classical Chinese continued to be written throughout these periods and is still being written today.
As a spoken language, standard Chinese, or, as it is often called, Man- darin, or Кuоуй or Putungha, is now spoken and understood through- out China and in most of the overseas Chinese communities in the various countries of South-East Asia. It is, therefore, a satisfactory medium of communication with the majority of the 750,000,000 of Australia's Chinese neighbours, rather more than one-fifth of the world's total 106
East Asian Studies population. Standard Chinese is based on the Peking dialect and the pronunciation taught will be that of Peking.
In the first year the main emphasis of the course is on spoken and simple written Chinese. From the second year the texts studied are virtually all from Chinese written for Chinese rather than from specially composed text books, although most of the second year texts have been edited and simplified to eliminate the most difficult structures and uncommon words.
An hour a week of classical Chinese is also introduced at this stage since some knowledge of classical Chinese is necessary even for studies which are entirely based on modern Chinese.
Early modern Chinese with readings from the Shuеi-hu Chuan (The Water Margin), the Hung-lou long (The Dream of the Red Chamber) and, In fourth year, from Y ап drama is taken by pure honours students as from the second year. But the main emphasis of the course is on modern standard Chinese and on modern literature from the nineteen-twenties to the present day.
The rapid emergence in the latter half of this century of China as a great world power has added considerable urgency to Western studies of Chinese and of Chinese civilization. From their early beginnings as a peripheral and esoteric pastime, these studies have now developed into an Increasingly normal and central pursuit at most of the major univer- sities in the West. Australia's geographical position makes such a devel- opment particularly desirable and important.
Opportunities now exist for careers in secondary schools and universities as well as in government and business for graduates In this field. A knowledge of Chinese either of major or sub-major standard coupled with suitable qualifications in such fields as History, Political Science or Economics should be particularly useful for posts in government or commerce.
The new course structure of full and half-subjects
After a recent study of work-loads, each of the three pass subjects in Chinese, with an average of six contact hours per week, were sub-divided into one-and-a-half subjects. The full subjects now consist of four hours per week (five in the case of Chinese 3), the half-subjects of two hours per week.
Whilst it is therefore possible now to enrol for a major consisting only of Chinese 1, 2 and 3, students are strongly advised to attempt Chinese 1 and Chinese 1A in their first year, Chinese 2 and Chinese 2A in their second year and Chinese 3 and Chinese 3A in their third year, i.e. the programmes that used to comprise the former Chinese 1, 2 and 3. The list of subjects at the head of this section shows the combinations of the Chinese half-subjects with each other and with other half-subjects
to give Chinese Studies 1, 2 and 3.
The new course for first year students with no previous knowledge of Chinese
First year students with no previous knowledge of Chinese should enrol for Chinese 1 and are advised to enrol also for Chinese Studies 1X.
Chinese Studies 1X consists of the first half of East Asian Studies 1 and Chinese 1A. Should they wish to continue East Asian Studies 1, they can change their enrolment in the following manner: they continue with Chinese Studies 1X, cancelling unit 156-112 but keeping on with Chinese 1A unit 156-111, and they add to their enrolment the full subject East Asian Studies 156-121.
