Fragmentation and Conflict - A...

Rolf Hedger

The grand narrative of Chinese history is often presented as a seamless succession of unified dynasties. Yet between these periods of unity, China experienced crucial eras of division that profoundly shaped its cultural and political development. "Fragmentation and Conflict: A Divided China" examines three fascinating periods when competing states vied for dominance across the Chinese landscape.
Following the collapse of the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms period (220-280 CE) saw China fractured into the competing states of Wei, Shu, and Wu. This era of military genius, political intrigue, and strategic maneuvering became immortalized in the classic novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," transforming historical figures like Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan into cultural icons. Beyond the battlefield drama, these rival states developed distinct regional cultures and governance approaches while competing for legitimacy as the true inheritors of the Han legacy.
The Jin Dynasty (265-420 CE) briefly reunified China before succumbing to internal rebellions and nomadic invasions, leading to further fragmentation. This tumultuous period witnessed massive population movements as northern Chinese fled southward, dramatically reshaping the cultural geography of China while Buddhist influence expanded significantly throughout society.
Centuries later, as the Song Dynasty controlled much of traditional China, the Western Xia (1038-1227 CE) emerged as a powerful independent state in the northwest. Founded by the Tangut people, this sophisticated kingdom developed its own unique script, produced remarkable Buddhist art, and maintained a complex relationship with its Chinese and nomadic neighbors before ultimately falling to the Mongol conquest.

Taste in Music - Eating on Tour...

Luke Pyenson, Alex Bleeker

Through original essays and engaging conversations with dozens of indie musicians representing several subgenres, scenes, and eras, food takes center stage in stories about being on tour and eating on tour and how this basic human necessity can create a sense of community and interconnectedness in one of the most mobile industries in the world. Based broadly on the subject of eating on tour, these entries each spin off into their own focused and exciting behind-the-scenes story, but all confirm what Pyenson and Bleeker suspected all along—food looms large in the lives of touring musicians, and it can be used as a gateway into understanding what going on tour is really like. 
 
 
 
Stories that deal with the best parts of touring: meaningful cultural exchange, hospitality-induced euphoria, and the opportunity to build relationships around the world. And the worst: loneliness, exhaustion, estrangement from family and friends, struggles with disordered eating, and unsteady access to medical care. 
 
 
 
So the question isn't, "How was tour?" It's, "What do you eat on tour?" Like the best songs or meals, these conversations and essays evoke something central about the human experience. They show us all the ways that music and food bring us together, break us down, lift us up, and add color to our lives.
