These priciples have widespread influence all over China, therefore, further study is necessary. This paper analyzes the complementary and interdependent relationships between the three principles in order to point out relevant problems and possible solutions. With the theoretical framework of"translation and formation of cultural identities", "interactive relations between language and identities", the paper takes international translation theories and cases as reference and rethinks the principles from a historical and cultural perspective. The paper concludes that it is necessary and feasible to communicate with other cultures while introducing Chinese culture to the world展开更多

However, these retellings are often criticised by some academics as distortion of historical facts. This is because many of the present generation of readers and audiences were not even born at the time the events happened. Thus, "historical facts" of this era are, in reality, very vague in people's minds and their "facts" are often simply a construction of frequently retold "historical war stories" mixed with imagination. This article will argue that even immediately after the end of both wars in 1945, fresh history memory was already distorted, with China being the main victim. Following the end of World War II, there was an extensive publication of books and periodicals about the war. However, through varied interpretations of primary sources and use of visual materials in different ways, various positions were created to suit specific needs for justification of China's desire to be part of the camp of world powers after 1945. Similar diverse positions were also used to make political arguments criticising both the Axis and Allied Powers for working toward different political ends.展开更多

The technology of Earth observaion from space has incomparable advantages in the study of the Earth. This aricle introduces the 50-year development of Earth observaion in the world and the 30-year development of Earth observaion in China and reflects on the building of China's Earth observaion system.展开更多

It was generally believed that China's recent history saw a process in which tianxia contracted into a "state." However, if we put the emphasis on what the Chinese literati had in mind, the process was more of a transformation from tianxia to "the world." Kang Youwei creatively transformed Gongyang's idea of the "Three Worlds" from a diachronic to a synchronic concept, facilitating a smooth transformation from tianxia to "the world." However, China was excluded fi-om the Western-dominated "world" system. The Chinese literati's yearning to become a part of"the world," and their endeavor to earn China a better position in the world, involved a hesitant process of exploration.展开更多

Its chief feature was that it was attuned to the pulse of the times; in all historical periods, the main current of its research has never deviated from the main theme of the times, showing a strong sense of responsibility to society. Under the new historical conditions of reform and opening up, this sense of social responsibility should be reflected in fundamental adherence to the direction of serving the people and socialism.展开更多

From a world- historical perspective, all other necessary features of advanced culture in contemporary China represent the logical unfolding of these three requirements. A full and correct grasp of the three elements constituting the world-historicality of this advanced culture is of important methodological significance in clarifying the world-historical mode of the construction of contemporary Chinese culture and the path to cultural innovation.展开更多

" From this relational perspective, "The World Structure" in an age of globalization presents a dualistic character, and closely related to this is the fact that " The World Structure" forces double constraints upon the development of China. Under these double constraints, China's issues become "synchronic. " This "World Structure," with its double constraints, turns out to be the historic condition of the fundamentcd tasks of the legal philosophy of China and it calls for a redefinition of China by the legal philosophy of China via the construction of the "relational perspective" and the "synchronic perspective" and at the same time, a "Subjective China" is to be constructed, upon which China's ideal law picture can also be perfected.展开更多
