OnLiangQichao’sWanderingbetweenPoliticsandLearningPursuit

(by ZHANG Hong-jie)

Abstract: On the eve of his trip to Europe, Liang Qichao decided to give up politics and “make a little contribution from the ideological circle”. He wanted to “devote all his efforts to the educational cause with a view to cultivating the Chinese nation’s practical foundation”. However, not long after, his political enthusiasm revived and he claimed that political movement “cannot be delayed for a moment”. Liang Qichao’s mood at this time was ambivalent: He wanted to devote himself to the development of culture and education, but he could not abandon politics. The causes for this contradiction were his passion for saving the country and the notion of pursuing knowledge of practical use to society. Before and after his European trip, Liang’s wandering between scholarship and politics explained the inner tension of scholarship and politics.

AReviewandReflectionontheCausesfortheFlourishingofthePekingOperaandtheDeclineoftheKunquOperaintheLastHundredYears

(by ZENG Fan-an)

Abstract: The research on the causes for the flourishing of the Peking Opera and the decline of the Kunqu Opera can be roughly divided into three consecutive stages with 1949 and 1978 as the dividing line. The research results can be generally classified into three viewpoints: the theory of Kunqu’s own defects, the theory of the combination of internal and external causes, and the theory of the sudden rise of the Peking Opera. In order to clarify the real causes, we should not only examine the merits and demerits of the Peking Opera and Kunqu Opera, but also make a detailed and comprehensive investigation into the cultural ecology and evolution of operas in the early and middle Qing Dynasty from the aspects of the ritual and music system, cultural policy, drama forms and preference of the audiences in the Qing dynasty.

ResearchonGuangdong’sFemaleCiPoetsintheQingDynasty

(by DENG Miao-ci)

Abstract: In the Qing Dynasty, there emerged a number of female ci poets in Guangdong. 19 women ci poets have been discovered who authored over 200 ci poems, most of which belonged in the boudoir style. Their creations were dominated by short lyrics though longer ones became increasingly popular. They diversified the expressive function and styles of boudoir poetry and reflected the inheritance and breakthrough of the traditional boudoir poetry. The causes for the breakthrough were related to the literary accumulation of the previous generations, the general mood of the poetry circles in the Qing Dynasty and the scholarly temperament of the female poets in Guangdong at that time. The literary value of Guangdong’s women ci poetry in the Qing Dynasty lies in that it filled a vacuum, and its cultural significance lies in that it displayed the daily life and communication changes of Guangdong’s women in the Qing Dynasty, and that it even played a role in preserving history.

(by WANG Run-liang)

Abstract: In accordance with the three life cycle stages of enterprise establishment, enterprise operation approval and enterprise change and cancellation, an index system for evaluating government services for businesses is constructed. The correlation analysis method and linear regression analysis method are used to test the independence and significance of the indexes, and the entropy method is used to determine the weight of the indexes. Under each index, 2 or 3 items of high frequency are selected as sub indexes and the time limit for completion of procedures, the number of visits to the service site, the number of handling procedures and the number of copies of required information are selected as observation variables in the sub indexes and the corresponding index data of the government service network of the nine cities in the Pearl River Delta are extracted as the evaluation data, and the utility value method is employed to evaluate the convenience of government service for enterprises in the 9 cities.

TheDecision-makingMechanismofLow-carbonProductionBehaviorfromthePerspectiveofFarmers’HeterogeneityinGrainProducingAreas

(by JIANG Lin-li)

Abstract: Farmers are the most extensive participants in the development of low-carbon agriculture and the most important micro basis. Giving full play to farmers will help accelerate the progress of low-carbon agriculture. Based on the data of a questionnaire survey of 1114 rice farmers in Hubei Province, this study adopted the multi-group structural equation model analysis method to explore the moderating effect of rice farmers’ heterogeneity on their low-carbon production behavior decisions. The results show that young and middle-aged males with a higher education level, multiple occupations, a short duration in farming life or multiple identities are superior to other groups in one or more dimensions in terms of low carbon awareness, environmental awareness, value perception, self-efficacy, low carbon production intention and low carbon production behavior. Moreover, there are significant differences in the decision-making mechanism of low-carbon production behavior among different types of rice farmers.

MisconceptionsaboutJapaneseLearningamongIntellectualsintheLateQingDynasty

(by CHEN Shu-jun)

Abstract: At the end of the Qing Dynasty, China’s national strength was gradually weakening. Chinese intellectuals changed their inherent concept of the Heavenly Kingdom and began to actively acquire foreign knowledge. To break the language barrier, Liang Qichao, at the beginning of his exile in Japan and together with Luo Pu, a disciple of Kang Youwei, crystallized his experience in learning Japanese into a fast-learning Japanese textbooks:LearningJapaneseThroughChinese. The main purpose of the book was to help the reader quickly learn to read political and legal books in Japanese and at the time it had a great influence on the Chinese intellectuals in Japan. However, this speed-oriented learning method inevitably led to misconceptions in Japanese learning.

ResearchontheImprovementofTranslators’MultipleCompetencesBasedonExternalizedKnowledge

(by JI Hong-qing, CHEN Miao-lin, CHEN Xing-xin)

Abstract: A translators’ Multiple Competences are an important indicator of his comprehensive translation ability. The improvement of the multiple competences requires improvement of both internalized and externalized knowledge on the part of the translator. An empirical study of the translation ability of students majoring in translation shows that when students have mastered systematic and sufficient internalized knowledge, their multiple competences will be more stable but difficult to be further improved. Breaking through this bottleneck mainly depends on students’ absorption and grasp of externalized knowledge, and the expansion of externalized knowledge is in direct proportion to the improvement of the multiple competences in translating.
