Legenda Jaka Tarub : Eksistensi Sendang Bidadari di Kecamatan Tawangharjo

Ki Ageng tarub or commonly known as Jaka Tarub is a character in his story who is married to an angel. The story tells about Jaka Tarub with the Seven Angels who were soaking in a lake, so the story is legendary to this day. In this study, the author researches Sendang Telaga Bidadari which is located in Sreman Hamlet, Pojok Village, Tawangharjo District, Grobogan Regency. The Sendang is a tourist attraction that has stopped since two years ago. The sendang is also the source of the history of the story of Ki Ageng Tarub or Jaka Tarub, which is called only oral literature, namely mere folklore. The sendang is also the property of the Surakarta Hadiningrat palace which is a descendant of Ki Ageng Tarub. Because Ki Ageng Tarub is the ancestor of the kings in Java. From here, the author tries to uncover the history of the authenticity of the story of Ki Ageng Tarub, because there are several relics of Ki Ageng Tarub which are now in the Surakarta Hadiningrat Palace Museum

Damage Inspection and Seismic Assessment of Lingzhao Xuan in the Palace Museum: A Case Study

Lingzhao Xuan, located in the Palace Museum, has significant historical, artistic and scientific values. To investigate the safety status and seismic performance of the Lingzhao Xuan structure, the material composition and performance of the main load-bearing members of the Lingzhao Xuan were examined, and a finite element seismic simulation was performed on the model. The results show that under different seismic intensities, the deformation of the central pavilion is more evident than that of the four metal pavilions in the corner. Under the 8-degree frequent seismic intensities, the tensile stress in the local area of the masonry has exceeded the design tensile strength value of the masonry, posing a risk of structural cracking. Under the 8-degree rare seismic intensity, when the seismic waves are along the direction of the east–west engineering axis, the stress at the column foot of the central pavilion is greater than the tensile strength of the cast iron. When the seismic waves are along the direction of the south–north engineering axis, the stress of the tie beam in the north–south direction of the central pavilion exceeds the tensile strength of the cast iron. The structure has a greater risk of collapse due to excessive deformation.

A GHAZAL NOT INCLUDED IN THE DIVAN OF MUHIBBI AND TAHMIS BY ŞEMSI TO THIS GHAZAL

In classical Turkish literature, there are poems which are not included in the divans of poets, for various reasons. Mecmuas/collections of these poems, and poets not having a divan, are important resources. It is possible to find unknown poems or poets in some archival documents, in addition to collections. One of the aforementioned archive materials is registered in file number 324 and folder number 27 in the sources of Ottoman Archives at Topkapi Palace Museum MA.e, the Directorate of State Archives. The document includes 41 ghazals (lyric poems, a form with its roots in seventh-century Arabia that is composed of five to fifteen structurally and thematically autonomous couplets), 1 tahmis/making five, 4 stanzas/quatrains and 1 distich/couplet written by 8 poets. This document containing 18 ghazals of Muhibbî and nazires (imitation, interpretation, reply in kind) written after his poems has some parallels with the nazire mecmua/imitation collection edited by Mehmed Izzî, probably in the 16th century. There exist 13 imitations written by Bâkî to Sultan Suleiman in the document authenticating the collection organized by Mehmed Izzî and including unknown poems of the poets such as Dâʻî, Khalîl, and Şemsî. The document also includes a imitation competition reported by Gubârî. What makes the document the relevant to this study is that it includes a poem not included in the Divan of Sultan Suleiman published by both Ak and Yavuz, and a tahmis written on his poem by a poet with the pseudonym Şemsî. In this study, firstly it was examined whether the poem in question is by Sultan Suleiman or not, later examining if this tahmis might belonged to which Şemsî. As a result of the study, it is clear that the poem belongs to Muhibbî, and İsfendiyarzâde Ahmed Şemsî (Shemsî) Paşa (Pasha) -one of the 16th century poets- has made a tahmis to this lyric poem.

Non‐invasive analysis of Chinese traditional dyes in royal textiles of the Qing dynasty by excitation–emission matrix fluorescence

AbstractChinese royal textiles of the Qing dynasty are widely collected around the world, creating a significant demand for dye identification in these textiles. However, the need for sampling in conventional analytical methods greatly limits their applicability. To address this issue, a non‐invasive analysis method based on excitation–emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence was developed. In this study, the EEM spectra of 18 typical natural dyeing recipes used for royal textiles of the Qing dynasty were systematically characterized. The results demonstrated that EEM fluorescence is effective in discriminating between natural dyes with similar colour hues and various dyeing techniques. Furthermore, the dyeing recipes of two historical kesi cushions in the Palace Museum, Beijing, were non‐invasively decoded.

Learning Middle Armenian at the Court of Meḥmed II

Shortly after the conquest of Constantinople, the Ottoman court of Meḥmed II (r. 1444–46, 1451–81) began to produce language-learning primers that would teach significant languages of statecraft and knowledge production from around the Mediterranean world. This article sheds light on the court’s pedagogical and ideological engagement with multilingualism through one primer in particular, which bears the shelf mark Ahmet III 2698 in the Topkapı Palace Museum Library. We name this primer Meḥmed II’s Hexaglot Grammar, as it was produced for his court and contains an array of languages within it: Persian, Ottoman Turkish, Ancient Greek, Byzantine Greek, Latin, and, finally, the vernacular tongue of Middle Armenian. The presence of many of these languages may seem more readily apparent, but what was Middle Armenian doing at the Ottoman court? As we show, Middle Armenian had a presence at court in more ways than one. Alongside the Hexaglot Grammar, the court also produced an extensive primer for learning the Armenian alphabet (MS Ayasofya 4767, Süleymaniye Library). So, too, did producers of knowledge in Middle Armenian find a home at court, such as Amirdovlat‘ Amasiac‘i, a physician whose extensive corpus of pharmacopeia in Middle Armenian likely made use of the palace library. By exploring the circulation of diverse manuscripts, translators, and intellectuals in Constantinople alongside primers such as the Hexaglot Grammar, this article offers a portrait of the Ottoman court never before seen: a place where the premodern Armenian vernacular not only survived, but, for a time, even thrived.

Research on Shaping the Brand Image of Tourist Attractions by Historical and Cultural Landscape

Historical and cultural landscape has an important influence in shaping the brand image of tourist attractions. By digging deep into the historical background and cultural connotation, tourist attractions can not only form a unique brand image, but also improve the cultural identity and loyalty of tourists. Historical attractions, such as the Palace Museum, have become an important base for academic research and cultural dissemination by displaying its profound cultural heritage. Combined with modern technology and interactive experience, tourist attractions can transform these cultural landscapes into vivid brand stories and rich cultural activities, thus further enhancing their market competitiveness.

A Place and Symbols of Remembrance and Filial Piety for Crown Prince Sado: A Study of Mangmyoru at Kyŏngmogung Shrine and the Enshrined Portraits

This paper examines the ascent to prominence of Mangmyoru Pavilion within Kyŏngmogung Shrine, dedicated to Crown Prince Sado, as a principal repository for enshrining royal portraits (御眞, Ŏjin) during the late Chosŏn period. It also explores the regular inspection and management system of both the chambers inside the pavilion and the portraits enshrined there, which formed the basis for its prominence. Furthermore, the paper delves into the iconography and format of the portraits as documented in historical records, as well as the stylistic characteristics of the existing royal portraits from Mangmyoru. Lastly, it considers how the interior chambers and screen paintings installed in the pavilion changed over time.</br>Mangmyoru began unofficially housing portraits of King Chŏngjo in the early 1780s. With the official enshrinement of a half-length portrait of King Chŏngjo in 1791, the repository ascended to a principal site for royal portraits throughout the late Joseon period, eventually housing nine portraits of five kings during King Kojong’s reign. After the enshrinement of portraits of King Sunjo and King Munjo, Mangmyoru’s role expanded from solely housing King Chŏngjo’s portrait to enshrining portraits of kings in the direct bloodline of Crown Prince Sado. Furthermore, the format of enshrined portraits was not confined to half-length; sometimes, multiple copies of portraits were housed in a single chamber.</br>The six royal portraits enshrined in Mangmyoru, now part of the National Palace Museum collection, present the stylistic changes of 19th-century Chosŏn art. Early 19th-century portraits seamlessly blended traditional facial depiction techniques with shading methods, while midto-late 19th-century portraits exhibited bold and stylized shading techniques. The regular inspection and management system for the chambers and the enshrined portraits, established during King Chŏngjo’s reign, cemented Mangmyoru’s role as a premier repository for royal portraits, facilitating the addition of subsequent portraits. The scale and prestige of the repository were further enhanced by the addition of royal portraits, accompanied by regular royal visits and inspections. As the status of Mangmyoru elevated, changes were also made to its spatial arrangement and interior adornment, such as replacing the Ten Longevity Symbols folding screen with the Five Peaks. Through this trajectory, Crown Prince Sado, enshrined in the main hall of Kyŏngmogung Shrine, emerged as the progenitor of the lineage of five kings, represented through the enshrined portraits in Mangmyoru.
