shomyo
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Etymology: Learned borrowing from Japanese 声明(しょうみょう) (shōmyō).
Senses: examples: text: Since shōmyō began as the chanting of Buddhist texts in India and went from there to China before coming to Japan, it is now sung in three different languages. Those songs sung in the ancient Indian dialect are called bonsan […], those in Chinese are called kansan, and the songs in Japanese are wasan. Because the Japanese adopted Chinese ideographs for their written language, giving them Japanese pronunciations, it is possible for them to sing Chinese songs with their own pronunciation. This form of shōmyō developed into a distinct style called kōshiki.
ref: 2000, William P. Malm, Traditional Japanese Music and Musical Instruments, page 67:
text: Yet another type of lineage to transmit ideas related to hongaku thought was that of the performers of shōmyō, or Buddhist vocal music. Originating in India, shōmyō in medieval Japan comprised several types, including hymns of praise for the Buddha in transliterated Sanskrit; hymns in Chinese, including both translations of Sanskrit and those newly composed in China; singing of gāthās, or verses from sūtras; sung forms of the nembutsu, such as the inzei or “prolonged voice” nenbutsu established on Mt. Wu-t’ai and introduced from China by Ennin in the ninth century; chanting of the names of the Buddhas, set to music and performed at religious ceremonies; and hymns of praise composed in Japanese (wasan).
ref: 2003, Jacqueline I. Stone, Original Enlightenment and the Transformation of Medieval Japanese Buddhism, page 129:
text: One of the earliest forms of Japanese Buddhist music is shomyo, derived from a Chinese adaptation of Indian Vedic chants and thought to have been elaborated in Japan in the 8th century by monks returning from China.
ref: (Can we date this quote?), “Japan: Shomyo Buddhist Ritual - Dai Hannya Ceremony”, in Smithsonian Folkways Recordings:
text: The Buddhist chants come from three types of repertoires: shomyo ("Teisan", "Unga-Bai", "Sange", "Taiyo"), but also goeika ("Kannon-Daiji") and mantra ("Hannya-Singyo").

shifting baseline syndrome
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: shifting baseline syndromes
Etymology: Coined by scientist Daniel Pauly, in reference to generations of scientists treating the successively reduced fish populations of their own time, rather than the earliest recorded fish population levels, as the "baseline", so the "baseline" kept shifting.
Senses: examples: text: […] in what has been called the "shifting baseline syndrome" (Pauly 1995). For example, Trautman (1981) described Ohio in the late 18th century as characterized by a "profusion of 'durable springs and small brooks,' both flowing throughout the year, and the great amount of bog, prairie, and swamp and forest lands which were covered with water during all or much of the year." The change in the distribution, availability, and quality of water in Ohio - and many other places throughout the world - since 1800 is dramatic and is an example of the shifting baseline syndrome. If the change had occurred in the past 20 years, it would have caused widespread dismay and concern, but because the change took 200 years (or before current environmental awareness), the baseline for comparison has shifted and the change seems acceptable.
ref: 2000 April 12, National Research Council, Commission on Geosciences, Environment, and Resources, Water Science and Technology Board, Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology, Committee to Evaluate Indicators for Monitoring Aquatic and Terrestrial Environments, Ecological Indicators for the Nation, National Academies Press, →ISBN, page 25:
text: […] It is important to realise whether or not we suffer from shifting baseline syndrome, because if we make ecological models that relate to 'natural' conditions, they will have been programmed with erroneous starting points (Sheppard, 1995).
ref: 2013 March 5, Ian D. Rotherham, Trees, Forested Landscapes and Grazing Animals: A European Perspective on Woodlands and Grazed Treescapes, Routledge, →ISBN, page 100:
text: One day, the fisheries scientist Daniel Pauly looked around at his contemporaries, and noticed something curious. Despite an objectively recorded long-term decline in certain fish populations, each generation of scientists seemed to be accepting the lower abundance and diversity they studied as their "baseline". [...] What this blindspot meant, Pauly argued in a short-but-influential paper, was that the scientists were failing to account fully for the slow creep of disappearing species, and each generation accepted the depleted ocean biodiversity they inherited as normal. He dubbed the effect "shifting baseline syndrome".
ref: 2021 June 25, Richard Fisher, “Generational amnesia: The memory loss that harms the planet”, in BBC News:
glosses: The tendency of each generation to consider the state the environment (or by extension any other thing) was in when they grew up or first examined it to be its natural state (baseline), normalizing changes made by prior generations.
