T'ang Hsüan-tsung

T'ang Hsüan-tsung (685-762) was the seventh emperor of the T'ang dynasty. Although he was an able man, his long reign ended with his abdication after the massive rebellion of An Lu-shan broke out in 755.

Hsüan-tsung was the third son of Emperor Jui-tsung (reigned 685, 710-713). In the year he was born, his great-aunt, Empress Wu, deposed Jui-tsung and replaced him with her young son Chung-tsung (reigned 685-690, 705-710).

Hsüan-tsung spent his youth in Ch'ang-an and Loyang, the T'ang capitals. During the years after the successful coup d'etat against Empress Wu in 705, there was almost constant maneuvering behind the scenes in the palace. Cliques formed around empresses, deposed emperors, and princes. Hsüan-tsung was deeply involved in these intrigues and, after helping to restore his father to the throne in 710, became emperor in 713.

Administration of the Empire

At the beginning of his reign Hsüan-tsung was an active and vigorous ruler. He continued the efforts of earlier rulers to centralize the empire and put it on a sound financial basis. Duri

Remembering Tsung-Dao Lee 李政道 (1926–2024)

Tsung-Dao Lee (李政道), Member (1951–53, 1957–58) and Faculty (1960–62) in the Institute for Advanced Study’s School of Mathematics/Natural Sciences, died on August 4 at his home in San Francisco. He was 97.

Throughout his distinguished career, Lee made significant advancements in theoretical physics, authoring more than 300 research papers and several influential books. Most notably, in 1957, during his time at IAS, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics alongside his Institute colleague Chen-Ning Yang (楊振寧), Member (1949–54) and Faculty (1955–66) in the School of Mathematics/Natural Sciences. The pair were awarded the Prize for their revolutionary work on parity violation in weak interactions, which fundamentally changed our understanding of the laws of physics.

Prior to Lee and Yang's work, most physicists believed that the laws of physics were symmetric, meaning that the mirror image of any physical process should behave in the same way as the original process. This principle was known as “parity conservation.” However, Lee
