The“going global”of Chinese Fantasy Fiction through the Internet:Using I Shall Seal the Heavens on Wuxiaworld.com as an Example

In the 21st century,Chinese online fantasy fiction is gaining popularity overseas.Lai Jingping,a Chinese-American widely known online as RWX,inspired by the popularity of his translation of a Chinese fantasy fiction,Coiling Dragon,established a website called Wuxiaworld.com to disseminate Chinese fantasy culture.Now it has become the largest website in the world to translate these kinds of works.This paper,in order to explore the advantages of Wuxiaworld.com,examines the translation landscape and its trends as presented on this website,and further analyzes the translation of fiction and interactive platforms using I Shall Seal the Heavens,one of the stories on the website,as an example.Our study,through text analysis and data collection,found that Wuxiaworld.com is good at hyperlink-aided translations,and has translation awareness based on the analysis of covers,synopses and glossaries;foreignization is the main translation strategy when it comes to the fantasy terms in I Shall Seal the Heavens,while annotation in text as well as hyperlinks in the forms of text,pictures and music are adopted for cultural compensation;interactive platforms,such as comments,forums and announcements,are conducive to improving translation quality and stimulating readers’enthusiasm for these translations and Chinese culture.

Empathy and Cognitive Schema:The Ways of Chinese Culture Going Global Reconsidered

In spite of its acknowledged achievements and contributions in recent years,it is still necessary to review the diplomacy of Chinese culture going global.Approached from the perspective of cognition and affection,the main reason leading to the low efficiency of Chinese official cross-cultural communication is that the collectivism implied in the governmental institutes is in conflict with the individualism schema in Western mainstream discourse,making it difficult to invoke empathy from Western audience.By contrast,some popular culture spread through the Internet is empathy-provoking only because it contains two schemata of nostalgia and individualism that have been embedded in many Western netizens’cognition.In other words,popular culture has little communicating power to transmit the essence of Chinese culture.Given the limitations of these two ways,China should at least make adjustments on four aspects to improve the effect of its culture going out:(1)integrate more mutually shared schemata into the selected Chinese culture;(2)modernize the cultural contents and transmission methods;(3)reduce the role of the government and insist on diversifying and individualizing communication subjects;(4)encourage the creation of fine culture.

Issues of Chinese Culture Going Global in the Era of Big Data and Wireless Internet

In the process of Chinese culture going global,the overseas communication effect of Chinese culture leaves much to desire. With the arrival of new media and big data,the translation and transmission of Chinese culture begin to embark on a new challenge. Based on big data and new media platform,this thesis mainly analyzes the material selection,transmission channels and inspirations from internet stars,for example,Li Ziqi,advocating reader analysis mechanism and diversified communication modes,so as to let foreigners understand and love Chinese culture through various channels,and promote Chinese culture going global.

Current Global Status and Future Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Prevention and Treatment of Coronavirus Disease 2019

Recognizing the potential of globalizing traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)for coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19),this review summarizes the current global use of TCM for COVID-19,status of the internationalization of TCM,and strategy on globalizing TCM for COVID-19.COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus disease that has sparked a pandemic in March 2020 affecting over 110 countries.Although researchers have been racing to develop targeted anti-COVID-19 treatment and vaccine,they are still currently unavailable.Thus,in treating patients infected with COVID-19,western medicine mainly recommended symptomatic treatment and monitoring.Existing drugs are used in the context of clinical trials,and the FDA still not yet approved these drugs for COVID-19.On the other hand,TCM proposed herbal treatment for suspected individuals to take within their observation period,as well as for confirmed COVID-19 patients to take during active phase of disease and during recovery.In China,Integrative Chinese-Western Medicine had been used in treating 91.5%of COVID-19 patients and showed its strength in reducing disease severity,shortening recovery time,and lowering the mortality rate.Despite obstacles in globalizing TCM for the treatment of COVID-19,promoting appropriate use of locally registered TCM products may prevent disease in susceptible individuals,improve the quality of life,and assist in the recovery of COVID-19 patients.With increasing global acceptance,TCM may play a more important role in the battle against infectious disease in the future.

From Chinese Version of Integrative Medicine to Globalized Integrative Medicine:Impression on the 3rd World Integrative Medicine Congress

In the 1950＇s, Chinese medical scientists were trying to take advantage of both Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine in clinical practice. The integrated traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine became an academic branch in medical sciences. As more and more medical doctors were involved in the Chinese version of integrative medicine, an academic organization, the Chinese Association of the Integration of Traditional and Western Medicine （now named the Chinese Association of the Integrative Medicine） was established in 1981 aiming to strengthen the academic exchanges in Chinese version of integrative medicine.

Contributions of Local and Remote Atmospheric Moisture Fluxes to East China Precipitation Estimated from CRA-40 Reanalysis

China Meteorological Administration(CMA) recently released its 40-yr(1979–2018) global Chinese reanalysis(CRA-40) dataset. To assess performance of the CRA-40 data in quantifying the regional water cycle, contributions of local and remote atmospheric moisture fluxes to precipitation in East China derived from CRA-40 are compared with those derived from the ECMWF reanalysis version 5(ERA-5). Observed precipitation and evaporation data are also used for validation. As for mean precipitation, CRA-40 matches the observation better in winter and spring than in summer, with a larger wet bias(1.41 mm day^(-1)) in summer than that in ERA-5(0.97 mm day^(-1)), particularly over South China. The conservation of atmospheric water vapor over East China measured by CRA-40 is comparable to that of ERA-5. Both reanalyses show a dominant role of the remote moisture transport in the East China precipitation.In comparison, the annual precipitation induced by the moisture influx from the west of the study domain in CRA-40 is 80 mm less than that in ERA-5. The recycling ratio of annual mean precipitation in CRA-40 is approximately21.1%, slightly larger than that in ERA-5(20.1%). The maximum difference of each hydrological component between the two datasets appears in the summer horizontal moisture influx(3.57 ×10^(7) kg s^(-1);ERA-5 is larger) and winter runoff(1.84 ×10^(7) kg s^(-1);CRA-40 is larger). CRA-40 shows better performance than ERA-5 in capturing the interannual variability of precipitation over East China, as evinced by a higher correlation coefficient with the observation(0.77 versus 0.33). The trend of summer precipitation since 2011 is better reproduced in CRA-40. Both reanalyses show prominent contribution of the southern moisture influx to the interannual variation of precipitation. This study demonstrates the reliability of CRA-40 in representing the hydrological cycle over East China and provides a useful reference for future application of CRA-40 in water cycle studies.

Driving force behind global cooling in the Cenozoic: an ongoing mystery

The stepwise cooling marks the long-time global climate change during the Cenozoic, particularly since the Oligocene/Eocene boundary. This climatic evolution has been punctuated by several warming such as the peak Cenozoic warmth at 52 Ma, the late Oligocene warming at ～25 Ma and the Mid-Miocene Climatic Optimum at 17–14 Ma. Concurring with the global temperature changes, the Asian paleoenvironment has been modulated by the global cooling and the tectonic uplift during the Cenozoic, but what have driven the global climatic changes remains unresolved. In this review paper, I hypothesize that a threshold CO_2 level in combination with favorable orbital configuration, ocean circulation,enhanced ice albedo and possible roles of silicate mineral and basalt weathering together facilitated the development of glaciations in the Cenozoic and the past temperature change. The synchronous variations between Earth's surface temperature and atmospheric CO_2 level may indicate that the atmospheric CO_2 content is the direct driving force for the global climatic cooling, but this hypothesis needs testing by using high-resolution geological record and paleoclimatic modeling.
