China Behind Feng Shui-Ernst Eitel and Feng Shui

This paper takes Chinese“Feng Shui”as a starting point to study German missionary Ernest Eitel’s writings on Feng Shui and to explore the Chinese images constructed by him in his writings.This study begins by analyzing the structure of Eitel’s work Feng Shui,or,the Rudiments of Natural Science in China,and the Chinese images that he constructed in his work.The study argues that,due to his multiple identities as a missionary,a believer in colonialism,an educator,and a researcher of culture,as well as the influence of what he saw and heard in China,Eitel,despite his exhaustive examination of Chinese Feng Shui culture,ultimately,due to his own biases brought about by his own experiences and cultural differences,produced a paradoxical discourse on Feng Shui:he understood it as a Chinese natural science system,but an unsystematic one.As a result,Eitel also built a contradictory image of the Chinese:they hold a belief in the“animism”and respect for ancestral observations of nature,which ultimately translates into a superstitious belief in nature and an ignorance of true science.

On the English Translation of Shui Hu Zhuan from the Perspective of Postcolonial Translation Theory

Postcolonial translation theory holds that translation has a close connection with politics and rights,which is not only the accomplice of the colonists,but also the mighty weapon of the weak culture against the strong one. With effective translation strategies,translation can achieve decolonization to undo the harmful effects of colonization,eradicate traces of colonialism and reshape the national identity of the pre-colony. Based on this theory,especially decolonization and its strategies,this paper compares and analyzes different translation strategies of decolonization between Buck's All Men are Brothers and Shapiro 's The Outlaws of the Marsh in three layers,namely,vocabulary,syntax and culture in order to showdifferent ways of decolonization. In conclusion,both of them use foreignization,domestication and hybridization,but with different emphasis. Both translators have done their best to respect and preserve Chinese culture. In postcolonial era,we can take full advantage of translation to help spread Chinese literary and cultural treasure.

继承性与民间精神——百年前赵焕亭小说仿拟《水浒传》的文化史价值

赵焕亭小说仿拟水浒故事母题,在武侠文学视野中延续了《水浒传》的艺术生命。第一,仿拟女强人比武耍横:增加了男女混合的比武打斗,善于利用团伙优势挟制官府,与懦弱丈夫组合反暴等。第二,仿拟李逵对李鬼之辈的打假:赵作未忽视英雄的同情心,还注意到冒充者受银后的感恩心理,江湖黑店聚焦也有新开拓。第三,仿拟杨志卖刀:揭示出控方盯得紧、地区“健讼”风气、贪吏敲诈、讼师牵线等。第四,重写解珍解宝被夺猎物,侧重黑恶势力的吞占,突出了侠义英雄的纯粹利他、团体内部正邪纷争问题。水浒类话语再生产具有强烈的时代性,也因这时代战争风云、外强欺凌和内在诸多困扰,使水浒类话语的含蕴有特定政治场域的针对性。

中国传统江湖英雄形象海外生成考——基于赛、沙英译《水浒传》对比剖析

中国传统江湖英雄形象是绿林题材小说的创作核心,也是翻译的重心,翻译形象生成的具体轨迹有待详解。本文撷取形象学理论资源,基于赛、沙英译《水浒传》剖析江湖英雄形象的海外生成,结合译者生平经历、翻译事件发生的历史语境、翻译形象生成的互文网络为形象变异溯因。研究认为,两位译者尝以西方基督、骑士文化“格义”江湖英雄,比之赛珍珠对血腥逆叛情节的垂直还原,沙博理强化梁山之忠义,淡化其法外特性。两译本出版间隔近半个世纪,动态对比益于解蔽名著复译之于形象生成的重要意义。

收入分配视角下唐宋之际两税法的制度变迁及启示

两税法改革开启了“以资产为宗”的新格局,其税制层面的公平性较“以人丁为本”的租庸调制有了明显改进,但政策实践中的赋税不均问题却依然突出。与此同时,“田制不立”和“不抑兼并”成为新的政策取向:一方面,土地交易更加活跃,土地占有趋于集中,富民阶层崛起;另一方面,租佃关系愈加发达,人身依附关系松弛,农民获得更多自由,在一定程度上促进了社会生产力的提高和农商经济的繁荣。当然,富民阶层存在着逃避赋税的强烈动机,而获得更多自由的农民在生产生活上也面临更大的风险。所以,国家需要采取土地清丈和建立以贫民下户为重点的因灾减免救济制度等措施来解决赋税不均问题。历史经验表明,在一定条件下,完备的产权保护制度与税收发挥调节收入分配作用是可以相兼容的,关键在于保护民众发展生产和创造财富的积极性的同时,采取有力措施来维护和落实税收公平原则。

数字人文视域中的元代江韵诗研究

在对《全元诗》进行全面统计分析之后,可以发现《全元诗》中共有207位诗人创作的456首江韵诗。通过对韵脚分布、出韵情况、韵脚组合、次韵分韵、诗风与用韵关系等方面的考察,会发现元代江韵诗的情况与唐宋两代相似,也存在核心韵脚、常见韵脚组合等现象。这同样使元代的江韵诗风以平易为主,同时也有篇幅长、用韵僻、构思奇的奇崛之作。明清两代的江韵诗中,应当也有核心韵脚与常见韵脚组合的情况。到了清代,逞才之风发展到极致,三江全韵诗大量涌现。

水族的生碑习俗初探

论“卷阿”形胜观的内涵与嬗递

最早记载于《诗经》的“卷阿”有着独特的“飘风自南”自然山水景观。在考辨“有卷者阿”历史源流的基础上分析其发轫、形成及“形胜”特征,认为“卷阿”形胜观历经“自然景观空间-建筑空间-精神空间”的发展过程,由物质空间升华到精神空间的文化意象。在皇权观念中,以高大广阔的建筑景观空间寓于“有卷者阿”形态,体现君王礼贤下士、君子纳才的宽广胸怀;对于贤臣来说,彰显其所追求修身治国之抱负和聿修厥德的情操。诠释“卷阿”山水格局并传承其文化内涵,构建蕴含人文精神的风景游赏地,形成物质与精神交融的山水景观空间,以达育人、化人的目的。

交往行为理论观照下的译者行为有效性评析——以《水浒传》两个英译本为例

依据哈贝马斯交往行为理论,交往的合理性有赖于遵循交往的有效性原则。翻译作为一种特殊的交往行为,翻译主体也应遵循交往行为的有效性原则,翻译策略的选择应该尽可能符合真诚性、真实性和正确性的原则。对赛珍珠和沙博理的《水浒传》译本翻译策略的对比分析发现,两个译者都有实现文化间平等交流的初衷,符合交往的真诚性要求,但在交往的真实性原则和正确性原则的符合度上,赛译和沙译各有差异。理想的翻译应该尽可能兼顾交往有效性的诸原则。
