Effect of Inter Stock ‘Zhong ai 1hao'on the Structure of Spindle-shaped 'Huangguan' Pear Trees

In order to investigate the effect of dwarfing inter stock on the structure of pear trees,investigations were made to the tree and group structure of the 4-year-old spindle-shaped‘Huangguan'pear grafted with vigorous stock( Pyrus betulaefolia stock) and that grafted with the dwarfing inter stock‘Zhong ai 1 hao'( P. betulaefolia rootstock). The results showed that the 4-year-old‘Huangguan'pear trees grafted with the dwarfing inter stock‘ Zhong ai 1 hao'were 2. 87 m high on average,with 70. 70% of short braches,converted into 21 016. 0 branches per 667 m^2,840. 64 m^2 of leaf area per 667 m^2 with the leaf area coefficient of 1. 75.On the other hand,for the‘Huangguan'trees grafted with vigorous stocks,the average tree height was 3. 17 m,and the short branch proportion was 63. 20%,converted into 15 806. 4 branches per 667 m^2,719. 28 m^2 of leaf area per 667 m^2 with the leaf area coefficient of 1. 55. Therefore,the use of dwarfing inter stock‘Zhong ai 1 hao'had significant dwarfing effect on‘Huangguan'pear trees,which also showed significant yield increasing effect.

A Synthetic Comprehension of the Way of Zhong in Early Confucian Philosophy

Zhong 中 is a very important philosophical concept in early Confucianism. Both the received ancient Confucian classics and the newly discovered ancient bamboo manuscripts tell us that adhering to the principle of zhong was an important charge that had been transmitted and inherited by early ancient Chinese political leaders from generation to generation. Confucius and his followers adopted the concept of zhong and further developed it into a sophisticated doctrine, which is usually called zhongdao ~_ （the Way ofzhong） or zhongyong ~lgCgi. Being a polysemous word, zhong has several different but philosophically related meanings. However, for a long time, people usually understood zhong in the sense of only one of its meanings, and zhongdao or zhongyong has been commonly interpreted as ＂the doctrine of the mean.＂ My argument in this paper is that a synthetic interpretation, which includes all the semantic meanings of zhong is necessary in order to acquire a deep and well-rounded comprehension of the philosophical significance of the Way of zhong. The Way of zhong features a dialectal view of the relationship between heaven and human beings, mind and materials, subjective desire and the available objective conditions, self and others, centrality and diversity, and so on. The Way of zhong has become a widely applied philosophical methodology in Confucianism, as well as a political principle and a kind of personal moral merit in early Confucian doctrines. Today, it still has relevance in contemporary Chinese social and cultural contexts.

17anmingand the Other： Rethinking the Source of Responsibility in the ZhongYongand Emmanuel Levinas

＂Everyone will readily agree that it is of the highest importance to know whether we are not duped by morality,＂ says Emmanuel Levinas in the preface to Totality and Infinity. Why is ethical inquiry a meaningful and necessary task？ This is a universal question with which all contemplation of ethics should grapple. This paper aims to show that both the Other in Levinas and the ＂Heavenly-command （tianming 天命）＂ in the Zhong Yong 中庸 indicate that human beings are called to be passively ethical. The passivity of ethical responsibility is, however, not caused by a divine moral power, but can be seen in three characteristics that mark ethics： 1） the exposure to the other, 2） the time of diachrony and 3） the aporetic moment of ethical response. Ethical responsibility is commanded before one＇s initiative to be ethical and is therefore prior to moral subjectivity. Moreover, a moral life is accomplished only in sincerely responding to this command of ethical responsibility. This opens up a kind of activity called ＂sincerity （cheng 誠）.＂ The source of responsibility therefore lies in a passive ethical situation that calls upon an active ethical response. This ethical responsibility is the foundation of all ethical inquiry.

In memory of Prof. Yang Zhong

Arabidopsis thaliana serves as a model organism for the study of genetics, and is the first flowering plant to get its genome completely sequenced. It also has greatly advanced our understanding of intraspecific genome variations. The extreme and unforgiving environments in Xizang （Tibet）, mainly due to the high altitude, have prompted scientists to ask how wild populations of plants adapt to biotic and abiotic environments.
