There are inner clues in TaoTeChing. Lao-tzu found that all the visible things are produced or born by something, which means that these observable things could not be the ultimate source of the universe. The ultimate source of the universe must be invisible and has no color or sound. Lao-tzu called it the ＂Tao＂. On this basis, Lao-tzu got a series of conclusions including that the ＂Tao＂ runs spontaneously only following the law of itself and is not controlled by anything; The ＂Tao＂ is characterized by weakness and doing nothing; etc.. In this paper, we try to recreate the process of Lao-tzu＇s construction of his ideology.展开更多

One of the most interesting manifestations of this new movement was not merely the introduction of new aesthetic materials and factors, but the adoption and positive ＂reprocessing＂ of traditional factors---especially historical factors and folk narrative factors. Based on intertextual theory, we would like to address the strong penetration, reproduction, and transformation of some folk storytelling models and historical materials in Vietnamese literature since 1986. Two corresponding phenomena we examine are ＂historical rewriting＂ and ＂alternative fairy tales＂--as part of the whole process of incredulity towards grand narratives and postmodernism in the contemporary Vietnamese prose.展开更多

They have been collected in Shadow andAct, Going to the Territory, and The Collected Essays of Ralph Ellison （posthumously）, and Shadow and Act has been selected as one of the most influential books in non-fiction with his Invisible Man in fiction which evokes more academic interests. This paper attempts to take a closer look at Ellison＇s literary criticism, focusing mainly on his response to the debate of ＂protest novel＂, his reconsideration of the Negro American writings, and his analysis of how the mainstream American writers, such as Mark Twain, William Faulkner, and Ernest Hemingway, deal with the racial subjects and represent them in their creation. Owing to the strong belief in the ideals of American democracy, Ellison highlights the individuality rather than the stereotyped characteristics of the Negro people, and transcends the fixed category of black and white, for all good literature tells the same story： to be true and honest.展开更多

In Russia, it is called"Gerasimovism". Russia adapted the idea of hybrid warfare for its military operations in Ukraine and Syria into a Russian-style hybrid warfare that has seen successful results so far. This model is likely to impact future military developments.展开更多

This study, taking The Winter＇s Tale （1623） as a case, is about universality, unity, and shared values of the Confucianism and Shakespeare＇s plays in the perspective of the coexistence of multiple cultures. This paper is with four parts： （1） mechanism of mutual understanding, mutual justification, mutual supplementation, and mutual appreciation introduced in the first part; （2） the Confucian values addressed in details in the second part; （3） the third part is a case study; and （4） the last part shows how the Chinese and Western literatures and cultures can be understood, assisted, communicated, and appreciated with each other by the way of comparing the great works of Shakespeare and the Confucian values featured with universalism to a certain extent展开更多
