Having a Blast with the Past

Ask Helen Lai for an explanation of the relationship between ancient scripts and contemporary writing. The acclaimed choreographer of the Hong Kong City Contemporary Dance Company (CCDC) was inspired by both to create HerStory, which premiered at the Hong Kong Cultural Center Studio Theater, last
month.

The ancient script in this case was "nushu", literally "women's writing". It was a unique form of written language developed 400 years ago by the women of Jiangyong County, Hunan province, to communicate in secret. Lai learned about it 10 years ago in a Chinese magazine article.

"I was intrigued and instantly thought of creating a dance about it," Lai says. "But the topic was typically Chinese, involving an ancient tradition and people; while classical or folk dance doesn't feature in my background. Also, due to the circumstances, 'nushu' often conveys a strong sense of
being suppressed. This was not the sentiment I was interested in expressing through my work."

So the idea was dropped, and was only picked up again when Lai encountered some writings last year by contemporary local female authors, Wong Bik-san and Xi Xi.

"It was then that I realized the term 'nushu' could also mean 'women's writing' in its broader sense. In that case, it is not an arcane language, but part of a constantly expanding and evolving vocabulary for women."

This revelation allowed Lai to transcend the pages of the ancient texts and create a powerful dance about modern women searching for their own identities.

This is not the first time that Lai and her fellow choreographers at CCDC have made something decisively contemporary out of an idea that has been in existence for hundreds, or even thousands, of years. Lai's Revolutionary Pekinese Opera was created 10 years ago, for Hong Kong's handover to China.

"The title was originally given by a Japanese composer for his musical creation. That piece is a crazy collage mixed up with everything from Western music and revolutionary Chinese songs to radio advertisements and newscasts - in both Chinese and Japanese. The cacophony of sounds and jarring notes
made my heart speed," Lai says.

"I felt this piece of music captured the prevailing mood of the Hong Kong people before the handover - anxiety mingled with fear and expectation."

Chinese Mandarin - Sun Simiao

Sun Simiao

Sun Simiao (581-682) was a great medical scientist of China in the Tang Dynasty (618-907). His native place was Jingzhao Huayuan (now Sunjiayuan in Hui County, Shaanxi Province).

Sun Simiao's viewpoint on medical ethics was very important in the history of Chinese medicine. In hisQianjin Yaofang(Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Pieces of Gold), he put forward the notion of "good faith of a great doctor" for the first time, offering an all-round argumentation on the
guiding rules of medical ethics a doctor must hold to. "Human life is of paramount importance,more precious than a thousand pieces of gold; to save it with one prescription is to show your great virtue." His book was named as "Qianjin Yaofang" (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Pieces of
Gold), which was just a manifestation of such a noble moral character. He gathered and studied the medical data before the Tang Dynasty, with reference to his own clinical experience of several decades, wroteBeiji Qianjin Yaofang(Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Pieces of Gold for
Emergencies) andQianjin Yifang(Additions to the Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Pieces of Gold), which have 30 volumes each and are collectively calledQianjin Fang(Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Pieces of Gold). It is said that there is one volume ofZhenzhong Sushu(Precious and Secret
Prescriptions),Shesheng Zhenlu(Advice on Sanitation), three volumes ofFulu Lun(Treatise on Happiness), one volume ofHui San Jiao Lun(Treatise on the Three Religious Schools), and one volume ofNotes to Zhuangzi,Notes to Laozi,Canon of the Tortoise,Notes to Mingtang Charts,Canon of Master Sun,Golden
Food Therapy,Xuannu Fangzhong Jing(Canon of Sex Art), andJin Jing(Forbidden Canon), respectively.

Sun Simiao paid great attention to women and children's care and wroteThe Prescriptions for Womenin three volumes and the Prescriptions for Children and Infants in two volumes, which were taken to be the beginning of theEssential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Pieces of Gold.

In pharmacology,he collected many empiric methods, used for processing, classifying and storing of drugs.

Sun Simiao's study on health care was very profound. He advocated putting prevention of diseases at the first place, stressed the importance of "restraining the desires to cultivate mental poise","caution in speech", and "moderate in eating". All such ideas can serve as good reference for the
present-day gerontology and gerontotherapeutics.
