Jet Li: Encyclopedia II - Shanghai - History

Before the formation of Shanghai city, Shanghai was part of Songjiang county, governed by Suzhou prefecture. The county was formed around 1000 years ago. From the time of the Song Dynasty (960-1279), Shanghai gradually became a busy seaport. A city wall was built in AD 1553, which is generally regarded as the beginning of Shanghai City. However, before the 19th century, Shanghai was not a major city, and in contrast to other major Chinese cities, there are few ancient Chinese landmarks there. Before 1927 Shanghai belonged to Jiangsu p ...

Jet Li: Encyclopedia II - American-born Chinese - Representations in media

Traditionally, Asian Americans have not been well-represented in mainstream media. Bruce Lee, a native of San Francisco, is the foremost icon of the middle-America's view of Asian Americans. Before Bruce Lee came onto the scene, Asians (women in particular) were mostly viewed as docile, obedient, and feminine. Asian men were regarded as asexual and powerless but hard-working as servants. Bruce Lee broke some of the stereotypes by demonstrating that they can be tough and masculine; but in opening new doors, he created new stereotypes. This ti ...

Jet Li: Encyclopedia II - Boxer Rebellion - Anti-Western Movement

The uprising is named for the society known as the Righteous Harmony Society (義和拳) or in contemporary English parlance, "Boxers", a group which initially opposed but later reconciled itself to China's ruling Manchu Qing dynasty. The Boxer uprising was concentrated in northern China where the European powers had begun to demand territorial, railroad and mining concessions. Imperial Germany responded to the killing of two missionaries in Shandong province (November 1897) by seizing the port of Qingdao. The next month, a Rus ...

Jet Li: Encyclopedia II - Arcadia California - History

Arcadia was originally inhabited by the Tongva ("Gabrielino") Indian tribe, who were forced into slavery by Spanish colonizers at the San Gabriel Mission (in present-day San Gabriel, California). The Gabrielinos were quickly wiped out through a combination of overwork and exposure to European diseases. During the Mexican rule of California, a large area of land that included the present-day borders of Arcadia was sold to a Scottish immigrant, Hugo Reid. The land holding changed owners several times before falling into the hands of "Lucky" Baldwin, a real estate speculator who made millio ...

Jet Li: Encyclopedia II - Character actor - Definition

Typically, character actors lack some of the stereotypical physical attributes associated with stars. A character actor may be very short or very tall, heavy or thin, balding, or simply unconventional-looking. Many older actors and actresses find their access to lead roles limited by age as well. Similarly, actors of colour were often barred from roles for which they were otherwise suited; some found work perfoming ethnic stereotypes. A character actor is usually playing a character who doesn't go through a major change in the course of the ...

Jet Li: Encyclopedia II - Cinema of China - The Beginnings: Shanghai as the Center

Motion pictures were introduced to China in 1896. The first recorded screening of a motion picture in China occurred in Shanghai on August 11, 1896, as an "act" on a variety bill. The first Chinese film, a recording of the Beijing Opera, The Battle of Dingjunshan, was made in November 1905. For the next decade the production companies were mainly foreign-owned, and the domestic film industry did not start in earnest until 1916, centering around Shang ...

Jet Li: Encyclopedia II - Bruce Lee - Physical Training, Fitness, and Nutrition

Bruce Lee cared deeply about his physical fitness and tracked the evolution of his training in personal notes and diary, which have been recollected and published in The Bruce Lee Library by John Little, a "martial arts historian" from The Bruce Lee Estate. Lee typically exhibited a muscular and very lean appearance in his films, particularly in his upper body. Bruce Lee felt many martial artists of his day lacked the necessary physical fitness to back up their fighting skills. In his book the Tao of Jeet Kune Do, he wrote " ...

Jet Li: Encyclopedia II - Bruce Lee - Death, by misadventure

Bruce Lee's death was officially attributed to cerebral edema. On July 20, 1973, Lee was in Hong Kong, due to have dinner with former James Bond star George Lazenby, with whom he intended to make a film. According to Lee's wife, Linda, Bruce met producer Raymond Chow at 2 pm at home to discuss the making of the movie Game of Death. They worked until 4 pm, and then drove together to the home of Betty Ting Pei (丁珮), a Taiwanese actress who was to also have a leading role in the film (and who was also Lee's mistress). The three went over the script at her ...

Jet Li: Encyclopedia II - Martial arts - Martial arts and self defense

Self-defense strategies formed the basis of numerous martial arts, especially East Asian martial arts, which usually provide self-defense classes as part of their curricula. Many schools of self-defense also teach strategies aimed at avoiding or defusing physical confrontations. The curriculum for such courses commonly teach positioning strategies and strengthening the defender's self-confidence, which is assumed to discourage some physical attacks. Martial arts practice, with or without actual emphasis in self-defense specific ...

Jet Li: Encyclopedia II - Cinema of China - A New Chinese International Cinema?

In 1999, the multi-national production Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon achieved massive success at the Western box office despite being disregarded by some Chinese cinema-goers as pandering to Western tastes. Nevertheless, it provided an introduction to Chinese cinema for many and increased the popularity of many Chinese films which may have otherwise been relatively unknown to Westerners. In 2002, Hero was made as a second attempt to produce a Chinese film with the international appeal of Crouching Tiger, Hiden Dragon ...

Jet Li: Encyclopedia II - Chinese martial arts - History of Chinese martial arts

In legend, the Chinese martial arts trace their origin thousands of years into antiquity. As the Chinese writing system traces back to the Shang dynasty (1766 BC - 1122 BC), claims of entire books regarding the martial arts being written at earlier times are suspect. The Art of War, written during the 6th century BC by Sun Tzu, deals directly with military warfare. There are passages in the Zhuang Zi that pertain to the psychology and practice of martial arts[citation needed]. Zhuang Zi, the author of the same ...

As mentioned above, some martial arts in various cultures can be performed in dance-like settings, either for evoking fiercefulness/pumping adrenaline in preparation of battle, or rather showing off skill in a more stylised manner, or both. Examples of such war dances include the gymnopaidiai from ancient Sparta, New-Zealand's Haka, the Sabre Dance depicted in Khachaturian's ballet Gayane, the Maasai "jumping" dance, Brunei's Aduk-Aduk, Qatar's Ayyalah, the Indian Kalarippayattu, Pakistani/Afghan Khattak Dance, Brazil's Capoeira, Scotland's Dannsa Biodag ...

Jet Li: Encyclopedia II - Martial arts - Martial arts as sport

On the subject of competition, martial artists vary wildly. Practitioners in some arts such as Boxing, Taekwondo, Judo, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu often train for sport matches in those arts, whereas those in other arts such as Aikido and Krav Maga generally spurn such competitions. Some schools believe that competition breeds better and more efficient practitioners, and gives a sense of good sportsmanship. Others believe that the rules under which competition takes place have removed the combat effectiveness of martial arts or encourage a kind ...
