The Origin Myth of the Xianbei: The Significance of the Gaxiandong Cave
The Stanford University Center for East Asian Studies presents a lecture on first-hand observations of the Gaxiandong Cave and research on the archaeological significance of the cave and the movement of the Xianbei into China.
When:
November 8, 2012 7:30pm to 8:30pm
Where
Albert E Dien
Professor of Chinese, Emeritus, Stanford University
The discovery in 1977 of an inscription dating to 443 CE on a wall of the Gaxiandong Cave in the far northeast of China has led to much discussion concerning its connection with the origin myth of the Xianbei, a nomadic people who had conquered north China and established the Northern Wei dynasty in 386. Traces of a second inscription has engendered further interest in the cave. This lecture will present first-hand observations of the site and the present state of research on the archaeological significance of the cave and the movement of the Xianbei into China.
