(by PENG Jian)
Abstract:Thetiejingimperial examination was a remedy for the early Tang Dynasty’s civil service exams. The development of thetiejingtests led to the emergence of theshutiepoetry andyinkuo-style poetry. Theshutiepoems were similar to the traditional examination-oriented poems in themes and subject matter, but with the categories eulogizing rulers, describing scenery or objects absent. Because of the different levels of difficulty of the exams and evaluation systems, theshutiepoems appeared more natural and artistic. Gift poems and essays with failures in the tie jing exams as themes have both literary and historical value.

StandardFormorVariant,OrBeingHomonymicbutHeterogeneous
(by ZHANG Hong)
Abstract:The traditional bibliographic novel in China refers to the record of street talk, while the literary novel refers to the fabrication of a complete story. In order to improve the status of literary novels, Zhang Xuecheng interpreted the relationship between the two as the standard form and its variant. Under the dual influence of Zhang Xuecheng and western evolutionism, Lu Xun interpreted them as the relationship between the embryonic form and the mature form. This kind of interpretation confused the two kinds of novels and caused the confusion of the later generations’ view of novels.

Masculinity:TheAestheticPurportofShang’guanWan’er’sPoems
(by CHEN Lei)
Abstract:In the early Tang dynasty, Shang’guan Wan’er was a famous politician, poet and poetry critic. As a woman, she was not only outstanding in politics during two reigns, but also created a large number of poems full of masculinity. This was a rare phenomenon in ancient Chinese literary history. Her poems tend to be masculine in themes, aesthetic images and pursuits. There were many causes for this phenomenon, not only because of the mores of her time, but also because of her household environment, political status, subjective psychology.

ResearchontheBeliefinHouAnduandRelatedIssues
(by SUN Ting-lin)
Abstract:Hou Andu was one of the founders of the Chen Dynasty, but because of his loss of integrity in his later years, he was not recognized officially by later dynasties. At the local level, however, the temple to his memory evolved from a family temple to a deity temple and he was widely worshiped by the people in the Tang and Song dynasties. Hou Temple Inscription by Li Bo in the Northern Song Dynasty was an important document to have recorded this folk belief. The Hou temple was both a public place of worship and an ancestral temple of the Hou family, but not a national ritual temple dedicated to heroes and martyrs. The Record of Li Gong Temple written by Hou Jinxing, a descendant of Hou Andu, reflects the status of ancestral halls in the early periods in Lingnan region. An analysis of relevant historical materials is helpful to deepening our understanding of the communities in the Lingnan region in the Tang and Song Dynasties.

AComprehensiveEvaluationofInnovationOutputCapabilityandaDEAAnalysisofInnovationEfficiencyoftheNineCitiesinthePearlRiverDelta
(by HUANG Zhi-yong, CHEN Qiong-di)
Abstract:The entropy method is used to comprehensively evaluate the innovation output of the 9 prefecture-level cities in the Pearl River Delta from 2011 to 2019, and the time lag effect is introduced on the basis of this comprehensive index value, assuming that the lag period is 1 year and using multiple DEA models to jointly calculate the innovation efficiency of the 9 cities from 2011 to 2019. The research results show that: (1) there is a large gap between the strengths and weaknesses in urban innovation capabilities and innovation efficiency among the cities, and the overall performance is "strong in the east and weak in the west"; (2) there is a large redundancy in innovation investment in some cities, which can be appropriately optimized by resource allocation for innovation activities; (3) there exists insufficient and uneven development of innovation efficiency in the 9 cities, and technological progress is the main cause for the increase in total factor productivity.

AnEmpiricalStudyofGreenTechnologyEfficiencyoftheLogisticsIndustryinGuangdongunderEnvironmentalRegulation
(LI Wei-zhong,LI Xing-xing)
Abstract: Based on the time series data from 2001 to 2019, this paper adopts the DEA method to measure two kinds of technological efficiency of Guangdong’s logistics industry without considering environmental and resource constraints, and the co-integration test method to study the dynamic relationship between environmental regulation factors and green technology efficiency. The results show that the efficiency of green technology taking into consideration unexpected output is much lower than that of the traditional technology without such consideration. From 2001 to 2019, the green technology efficiency is on an increasing trend; there is a co-integration relationship between the two indicators of environmental regulation factors and the green technology efficiency, especially given that the improvement of carbon dioxide emissions of Guangdong’s logistics industry has a long-term role in promoting its green technology efficiency.

AnAnalysisoftheDevelopmentofCross-borderWealthManagementBusinessinMacao
(by PANG Jia-jun)
Abstract:Macao as a region with one of the highest per capita GDPs in the world has developed relatively a mature wealth management industry. However, its local market is very small. Driven by the planning of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (the GBA), Macao’s wealth management industry can have access to the huge mainland market with enormous development potential. Therefore, it has become one of the directions for the Macao government and its financial industry to develop cross-border wealth management business targeting the mainland. This paper will discuss the current situation of cross-border wealth management business in Macao, and put forward targeted suggestions for improvement so as to promote the healthy development of this business, meet the market demand, and promote the financial integration between Macao and the mainland.

(by Liu Chun-xia)
Abstract:Han Yu’s tablet inscription for the South Sea God Temple was about the then Guangzhou Prefect Kong Kui’s sacrificial rites honoring the South Sea God. In it Han Yu’s praised Kong’s sincerity to the god and wisdom in governing people, expressing his Confucian thought including his thinking on the practice of Confucianism in the sphere of national sacrificial rites and politics. In Han Yu’s view, the sacrificial offerings to the South Sea God, which had national ideological significance, were the requirements of the Confucian spirit of respecting the ritual system to rectify the social order; Kong Kui’s worship of the god with“sincerity”was an important way for Confucian scholars to deal with the relationship between man and deities; Kong’s governing of people with benevolence was the specific implementation of Confucianism in the field of official governance. Because of Han Yu’s inscription the South Sea God Temple became famous and a unique cultural landscape in Lingnan region.

OnthePronunciationof“Wei”inthePhraseWuweiinLaozi
(by PANG Guang-hua, WANG Hai-ting)
Abstract:The pronunciation of “wei” in “wuwei” in Laozi has caused debates in the academic circles, which have different views on whether “wei” is a preposition with a deflected tone or a verb with a level tone. In his long paper, Mr. Qiu Xigui thinks that this “wei” is a preposition with a deflected tone, indicating purpose. Through investigation of various evidences, we believe that “wei” should be a verb with a level tone and it does not indicate purpose.

SubsetPrincipleandMarkingTheoryof“He”and“Huo”Substitution
(by LI Tian-yi, PENG Jia-fa)
Abstract:There is substitution of “he” and “huo” in negative structures and quantification structures, but their semantics is unchanged. The substitution of “he” and “huo” in different structures is related to the subset principle. There is no significant difference in the frequency of the substitution of “he” and “huo” between the negative structure and universal quantifiers sentences, and there is significant difference in the substitution of “he” and “huo” between the “wu lun” conditional sentence, the “ji shi” hypothetical sentence and structures combining affirmation and negation. The differences and non-differences in the substitution of “he” and “huo” in different structures are related to the marking theory, semantic content and the weakening of the differences of universal quantifiers. The use of “he” in Chinese is unmarked and that of “huo” is marked, which can be supported by relevant evidence from frequency distribution, the economy principle, diachronic development, children's language acquisition and so on.
Keywords:He; Huo; Substitution; Subset principle; Marking theory
CourseTeachingUndertheConceptofOutcome-basedEducation:CourseObjectives,TeachingModeandAssessment
(by BIAN Yung-ang)
Abstract:Under the background of professional certification, the implementation of OBE concept in curricula and classroom teaching is the key to break through the "last mile" limit in education reform, and is also one of the pain points for front-line teachers to build “golden courses”. This paper takes the course of “Principles of Electronic Commerce” as an example. Following the principles of “reverse design”, “student-centeredness”and “continuous improvement”in the OBE concept, hierarchical curriculum objectives, the “one line, two sections and three links”teaching mode integrating ideological and political elements into the curriculum, a three-dimensional collaborative assessment system with equal emphasis on process and results, and a closed-loop operation continuous improvement mechanism based on achievement degree analysis are established.
