OnChenLi’sCommentaryontheOldTextandNewTextFiveConfucianClassics

(by ZHANG Wen-hua)

Abstract:Chen Li’s rich and systematic theory of the Five Classics not only made up for the deficiencies of Guangdong scholars before and during his lifetime in expounding the Five Classics, leaving a precious academic legacy for the study of the old text and new text Confucian classics. What is remarkable is that he abandoned scholarly provincialism and tried to harmonize with the Han and Song Confucianism. He becamea symbol of the beginning of the conclusion period of the Guangdong Confucianism study during the Xianfeng and Tongzhi reign periods, reflecting Guangdong scholars’ efforts to meet the crisis faced by Confucianism by combining the Han and Song dynasties Confucian studies and the old and new text Confucianism.

(by SHI Yan-qun)

Abstract: From the first year (1488) to the thirteenth year (1500)of the Hongzhi reign period, Li Chengji came from Jiayu, Hubei Province, to Xinhui (presently Xinhui District of Jiangmen) on four occasions. He was the most valued disciple of Chen Xianzhang who specially built a house as his residence. In the course of learning with Chen during more than ten years, his footprints spread all over Jiangmen and its surrounding areas. Li Chengji not only had a peculiarly close friendship with Chen, but also had close contacts with his peers and local celebrities. During his Jiangmen period, he compiled Xinhui County Chronicle and wrote a large number of poems, biographies, stories and records. Textual research on the people and events related to Li Chengji during his stay in Jiangmen is of great significance to the study of the formation of the academic circle of Jiangmen School and the theoretical basis of Chen Xianzhang’s self-cultivation system.

(by DENG Ning-hua)

Abstract: Since China’s reformand opening-up, volunteering service has made great strides. The “Great Traditions-Small Traditions”theory provides an important framework for interpreting this local phenomenon. The national government’s theoretical guidance, institutional supply and resource support for volunteer participation reflect the “Great Tradition” of top-down national volunteering mobilization; the diverse voluntary participation of overseas Chinese, local residents’ familiarity and identification with and participation in volunteering by virtue of their favorable conditions such as language and communication competency, and the promotion of the development and innovation of local voluntary organizationsby introducing resources from Hong Kong and Macao reflect the unique value of the “Small Tradition” of this homeland of overseas Chinese. Both the “Traditions”have cooperated and mutually-promoted each other.

TravelsofJakobsonianPoeticsinChina

(by YANG Jian-guo)

Abstract:Roman Jacobson is the core figure in the evolution of literary theories in the 20th century. The travel of Jacobson's poetics in China was an important event for contemporary Chinese literary theories, and also a typical case of theoretical variation in the process of theoretical travel. Travels of Jacobsonian poetics in China have roughly gone through four periods: the early introduction period, the expansion period, the anxiety period and the comprehensive synthesis period. Looking back on history, we can not only confirm Jacobson's unique contribution to the theoretical construction of contemporary Chinese literature, but are eager to find a Jacobson different from previous narratives.

ThePhilosophyofSurvivaloftheWeak:OnZhangQixiong’sNewNovel“ClimbingOvertheSwamp”

(by SONG Wen)

Abstract: Compared with the writings about “the weak” in the enlightenment discourse, Zhang Qixiong’s new novel “Climbing Over the Swamp” seems a bit different. The “weak” who used to appear as symbols or supporting roles in the enlightenment discourse have become the main characters in this work. The whole work also revolves around the perspective and position of the “tail-pulling” of the weak. The novel narrates the story from the perspective of the “weak”and dispenses with the compassion for them and lamenting their failure to struggle, which feature in the enlightenment discourse. More vivid details of life at the bottom are presented in a way of presentation rather than narration, which enables readers to understand the survival philosophy of “the weak” -- peaceful coexistence with destiny, flexible struggles, and an optimistic attitude towards life.

OntheSelf-ReflexivityofDavidLodge’sBiographicalNovels

(by CAI Zhi-quan)

Abstract: Biographical novels are a new trend in English and American fiction creation and mark a major shift in the type of novels written by David Lodge. Self-reflexivity is an intrinsic property of Lodge’s biographical novels and an important perspective for studying them. In textual narrative, self-reflexivity is mainly reflected in breaking the realistic framework, the authorial“intrusion”, the invasion of italic text, etc.; in the selection of historical materials, self-reflexivity is mainly reflected in the use of biographèmes, which bridge the two opposing ideologies of realism and post-structuralism in his novels and form a narrative tension.

(by QI Huang-xiong, CAO Sheng-li)

Abstract: Against the strategic background of building the greater Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao bay area, there is a great potential for tourism cooperation between Jiangmen and Macao. Based on the AHP-SWOT model, this paper explores the factors of tourism cooperation between the two regions by adopting qualitative and quantitative methods. The results show that there exist obvious complementary characteristics between the two regions in terms of advantages in opportunities and environments and disadvantages and challenges. For this reason, the cooperation in technical information, capital, talents and product resources is proposed. At the same time, there are still some shortcomings in the cooperation between the two sides. Suggestions on strengthening infrastructure construction and optimizing tourism visa system are put forward.

AnAnalysisoftheModeofRealizingthePathofEqualizationofBasicPublicServicesinJiangmen

(by ZOU Xiang-bo)

Abstract: At present, the development of basic public services in China is still unequal. How to effectively promote the equalization of basic public services is an important issue for local governments. The exploration and practice of promoting the equalization of basic public services for the aged by means of the comprehensive service project of home-based old-age care and disability aid in Jiangmen’s towns and subdistricts can play an exemplary role to a certain degree in realizing the equalization of basic public services in China. At the same time, it is found that Jiangmen has some deficiencies in the process and needs to further improve its path at the policy and practical levels.

WangFuzhi’sJudgmentonZhouDynasty’sAbolitionofthePositionofPrimeMiniste

(by Tang Ruo-yan)

Abstract: King Wen of Zhou founded the empire and abolished the ancient prime minister system. Zhu Yuanzhang used it as an excuse to dispose of the position of prime minister. Wang Fuzhi, before denouncing Zhu’s measure, first had to explain why the Zhou dynasty took the measure and whether it was reasonable or not. Wang based his arguments on the concept of "reason"and created two worldviews. One was the natural world outlook under heavenly reason; the other was the worldlyreasonable outlook in a world of differences. The former emphasizes universal goodness and the passing on of the throne based on virtue, and the prime minister was the standing executive, so the position should always remain unchanged; the latter attached importance to the different degrees of evil and the passing on the throne to a son to benefit the whole empire; the people entrusted their fate to the monarchy and the prime minister was not an independent position and therefore was abolished. So what should be the emperor’s choice? It should depend on circumstances. Wang Fuzhi put forward a complete set of theoretical basis for King Wen of the Zhou Dynasty to highlight Zhu Yuanzhang’s absurdity in simulating the Zhou Dynasty’s abolishing of the position of prime minister. Zhu was not carrying forward King Wen’s virtue.

PragmaticInfluencingFactorsofCourtImpoliteDiscourseandItsInterpersonalPragmaticOrientation

(by GAO Jie-ying)

Abstract:Courtroom contextsrestrain the generation of impolite utterances in Chinese courts. Impolite utterances that occur in daily contexts, such as sneering, threat and abuse, rarely occur in courtroom contexts. In courtroom context, the more equal the status and position of the players is, the more likely it is to generate strong conflicts. In the courtroom the forceful party controls the right of speech and restricts the courtroom activities byusing negative impolite utterances, such as interruptions and instructions. The closer the social status, the more intense the conflict of impolite utterances in courts. Based on the Rapport Management Mode of Spencer-Oatey, this study shows that impolite utterances in Chinese courts have the rapport-neglect orientation and rapport-challenge orientation.
