I-Ching,Chinese Thinking Mode And Chinese Language

I-Ching regards human-being as an integral part of nature and stresses the relative complimentary of the two opposing principles of nature, Yin and Yang. Therefore, under the influence of I-Ching, the Chinese thinking mode is different from the westerners'. The Chinese thinking pattern is holistic, dynamic and abstract, but lacking logic and inference. The Chinese tend to express their ideas succinctly in a few simple remarks. Consequently Chinese is a concise and comprehensive language full of hint and ambiguity.

The Exploration of Translator's Subjectivity and Styles——From Four English Versions of Tao Te Ching

Tao Te Ching is chosen as the object of this study due to its everlasting charm and profound thoughts within 5000 characters.The thesis chooses versions translated by Arthur Waley(1889～1966),James Legge(1815～1897),Lin Yutang(1895～1976) and Gu Zheng kun(1951～) as the study cases on the account of their different cultural background and historical context,and also of their respective pur poses and interpretations.The translation products of these four translators are selected to analyze the subjectivity played by each of them and to explore to which extent the style and characteristics of the translators could influence the translation versions.

Discussion on the theoretical basis of strengthening Yang from "Doing Nothing" in Tao Te Ching

Background:As described in Tao Te Ching,Tao does nothing but can accomplish everything.Methods:Exploring this artistic concept through the image“valley spirit dies not”,we see it produce“Names”from“Having No Name”.Results:The role of essence in the body is similar to the“Doing Nothing”way of Tao,and through strengthening Yang,Yang Qi can be unblocked so as to restore the nature of“Doing Nothing”and generate Qi,essence,blood,and bodily fluids to treat disease.

Comparison of Keyword Translations in Tao Teh Ching From the Perspective of Skopos Theory

Tao Teh Ching,which is commonly regarded as the greatest book of Taoism in China,is rich in meaning and profound in annotation.In spite of its limited length,it has a great impact on Chinese philosophy.Due to its great popularity,the number of its translations remains increasing,and the translations by different translators vary from each other.The authors make comparison between James Legge’s and Lin Yutang’s translations of some keywords in Tao Teh Ching.By studying the two translators’personal experiences and basing on the Skopos Theory,they find out that the translators apply different translation strategies because of their cultural backgrounds and translation purposes.

Petrography and geochemistry of Paleocene-Eocene limestones in the Ching-dar syncline,eastern Iran

The Ching-dar syncline is located to the west of the city of Birjand, in the east of han. The ca. 500 m thick studied section at the eastern flank of the syncline contains a sequence of almost continuous shallow- marine limestones that exhibit no major sedimentary breaks or evidence for volcanic activity. Skeletal grains consist of large benthic foraminifera and green algae whereas non-skeletal grains are mostly peloids and intraclasts. They were deposited on a shallow-marine carbonate ramp. The limestones have undergone extensive diagenetic processes with varying intensities, the most important of which are micritization, cementation, compaction （chemical and mechanical）, internal filling and stylolitization. Chemical analysis of the limestone samples revealed high calcium and low magnesium content. Major and minor element values were used to determine the original carbonate mineralogy of these lime- stones. Petrographic evidence and elemental values indicate that calcite was the original carbonate mineral in the limestones of the Ching-dar syncline. The elemental composition of the Ching-dar car- bonates also demonstrates that they have stabilized in a meteoric phreatic environment. Variation of Sr/ Ca vs. Mn values suggests that diagenetic alteration occurred in an open geochemical system.

重塑族望:“陆忠”释义与陆绩《周易注》

孙吴时期,吴郡陆氏由“土豪旧族”跨入“高门鼎贵”之列,其根本动因并不在陆氏一族仕途显赫,而在于陆绩被东吴本土旧族视为与孙氏保持某种身份独立和有限度合作的精神象征。这种身份标识的形成,既有陆绩一生的悲剧色彩为底蕴,又有陆氏学行二端的分量为保证,更有当时士人清议和政治舆论场域的推波助澜,从而让“陆忠”之目成为陆氏族望的新标志。晋时,陆机、陆云的遭遇与秉承陆绩之志的陆瑁一支,恰成鲜明对比,无疑加重了陆氏余脉对陆绩兼举离政之道和重学之德这一立场的固守和执着。或者说,六朝陆氏族望的新原点,就在于陆绩学、行二端特别是陆氏《周易注》的微言大义当中。

冷战时期美国对中国台湾地区领导人的选择悖论

二战时期,美国政府在与国民党政府建立特殊关系的过程中,曾试图在中国推行民主改革。随着冷战的发生以及国民党在内战中的失败,美国在“为什么我们丢失了中国”的反思中调整了政策。在美国干涉下,占据了中国台湾岛的国民党站在西方阵营最前线,蒋介石成为美国在亚洲“反共”的一面大旗。美国不再试图在中国台湾推行民主,并从“弃蒋”转为“容蒋”“驭蒋”,支持蒋介石抛弃美式民主的路线。蒋经国曾与苏联关系密切,且掌握着情治系统和政工系统,美方人士对其心存疑虑,但最终出于现实主义的考量,认定蒋经国是接任领导人的最佳人选。美国在冷战思维下选择将中国台湾打造成符合美国需要的安全堡垒;在维护自身利益目标下支持中国台湾以独裁政治维持现状。蒋氏“家天下”成为所谓“自由世界”的独特风景。

论宋庆龄在党的统战实践中的独特地位

在中国共产党统一战线发展史上,宋庆龄是一个独特的存在。她集家族社会资源的高端性、国民党内政治地位的崇高性、共产党内政治身份的隐蔽性、文化素养的国际性等特点于一身,使得她在革命活动中,具有双重身份,既是统战主体,又是统战对象。这些特性,使得她在反对国民党独裁统治、综合利用国际资源进行革命斗争、为建立抗日民族统一战线牵线搭桥等方面,做出了别人难以做到的、无可企及的重要贡献。人民至上的大爱情怀,以真诚为内核的伟大人格,成就了宋庆龄在统战史上的不朽丰碑。

《道德经》中的领导智慧

从管理学维度看,《道德经》所表达的管理思想可名之曰“领导智慧”。老子固然反对以智治国,主张不以智治国,但绝不认为治国不需要任何智慧,相反认为“御今之有”者须有“知古始”的智慧,这种智慧包含对宇宙普遍法则“道”的体认与运用。“虚静”是获得这种智慧的心境条件,它具有“明体达用”的意义——虚以明道之体,静以达道之用。保持内心虚静,才能树立“下知有之”的“太上”形象——有大智慧,但深藏不露,给老百姓以非善非恶的中性人形象。这种领导形象显示了道德理性中立与道德情感无私的“王”者气度。在治国理民的实践中,“御今之有”者应具“上善若水”的领导品格,既“为”又“不敢为”,“为”是养育万物、养育百姓,“不敢为”是不做损害百姓利益的事,不跟百姓争利,不违逆百姓愿望而擅自给百姓做主,并且从言语到行动都谦卑地对待百姓。更要有“不信者,吾亦信之”的“德信”领导境界,这在本质上乃是把握了善良之本体而达至于无条件地善待一切人的“德善”之境。
