A Corpus-Based Comparative Multidimensional Analysis of the Two English Translations of Luoyang Jialan Ji

By using the MD approach, this study aims at making a comparison between the lexical features in W. J. F. Jenner’s and Wang Yitong’s translations of Luoyang Jialan Ji (547 AD) from a multidimensional perspective. Statistics show that both the two translations belong to the General Narrative Exposition Register. However, there are significant discrepancies between the two versions in Dimension 1 “Involved versus Informational Production”, Dimension 4 “Overt Expression of Persuasion” and Dimension 5 “Abstract versus Non-Abstract Information”. The differences in Dimension 2 “Narrative versus Non-Narrative Concerns” and Dimension 3 “Explicit versus Situation-Dependent Reference” are not that significant. It is found that in Dimension 1, the information density of Wang’s version is much higher than that of Jenner’s. In Dimension 4, Wang’s version contains more overt persuasive effort than Jenner’s. In Dimension 5, the positive and negative contrast between the two versions indicates that Wang’s version provides information in a more abstract way, whereas Jenner’s in a relatively non-abstract way. Combined with typical examples in the two translation versions, this study is hoped to help better understand the translations of Luoyang Jialan Ji and conduct future studies on the translation styles of the two translators.

Luoyang, an Awesome City

Have you ever been to Luoyang?Luoyang is an old city with a very long history.As a native of Henan,we should all know about the history and the beautiful scenery of Luoyang.Last summer vacation,my family and I went to Luoyang for a trip.At first,we went to the White Horse Temple,which has a long history and rich culture.My mother told me that the White Horse Temple is the first temple after the introduction of the Buddhist Scriptures into China.

Estimating the site effects in Luoyang basin using horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio method from a short-period dense array

The influence of local site effects on seismic ground motions is an important issue in seismic hazard assessment and earthquake resistant design. Determining site effects in densely populated cities built on basins can help to reduce the earthquake hazard. Site effects of Luoyang basin are estimated by the horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio(HVSR) method using ambient noise records from a short-period dense array. The sites in Luoyang basin are sorted into three types according to the pattern of the HVSR curves. There are cases with a single clear peak, two clear peaks, and an unclear low frequency peak or multiple peaks, which correspond to there being one large impedance contrast interface, two large interfaces, and a moderate one beneath the sites, respectively. The site effects characterized by fundamental frequency from HVSR curves are affected by underlying sedimentary layers and depth of sedimentary basement. According to our results, the existence of thick sediment layer obviously lowers the fundamental frequency to the period range from 2 to 4 s in the downtown area of Luoyang city. The ground motion will amplify when through the sites and the buildings with height of 20–50 floors can resonate at the similar frequency domain. Site effects estimation using HVSR method from a short-period dense array is an effective technique in areas of moderate seismic risk where strong motion recordings are lacking, such as the Luoyang basin.

Shallow velocity structure of the Luoyang basin derived from dense array observations of urban ambient noise

Determining the shallow structure of a sediment basin is important when evaluating potential seismic hazards given that such basins can significantly amplify seismic energy. The Luoyang basin is located in the western He’nan uplift and is a Meso-Cenozoic depression basin. To characterize the shallow structure of the basin, we develop a model of the shallow high-resolution three-dimensional(3D)shear-wave velocity structure of the basin by applying ambient noise tomography to a dense array of 107 portable digital seismometers deployed over the basin. More than 1,400 Rayleigh-wave dispersion curves for periods in the range 0.5–5 s are extracted. The 3D variations of shear-wave velocity in the shallow crust are inverted using a direct surface-wave tomographic method with period-dependent ray tracing, with all the surface-wave group-velocity dispersion data being inverted simultaneously. The results show that in the shallow crust of the study area, the velocity distribution corresponds to surface geology and geological features. The Luoyang basin exhibits a low shear-wave velocity feature that is consistent with the distribution of sediment in the region,while the Xiongershan and Songshan uplifts exhibit higher shear-wave velocity structures. The results provide a shallow high-resolution 3D velocity model that can be used as a basis for simulation of strong ground motion and evaluation of potential seismic hazards.

Characteristics of groundwater and urban emergency water sources optimazation in Luoyang,China

The construction of emergency water sources is the material basis for ensuring urban water safety,and it is also an inherent requirement for maintaining social stability and development.The hydrogeological characteristics of groundwater in Luoyang City from the aspects of the division of groundwater aquifer groups,water yield property and groundwater dynamics were described in this paper.Two emergency water sources were selected on basis of comprehensively considering groundwater resources and ecological environmental effects,groundwater quality and exploitation technology,etc.Then it further analysed the aquifer types,water yield properties and groundwater recharge,runoff and discharge conditions of the two emergency water sources,and evaluate the groundwater resources quantity of the water sources.The results are that the shallow underground aquifer in Luoyang City is thick,coarse,and stable in lithology and thickness.The two water sources enjoy good exploitation potential and can be used as backup water sources to supply water in the event of a water source crisis.

Luoyang Dual Spatial Criterion Ecological City Construction

The construction of an ecological city has two founda- tional platforms: the small platform, namely urban district or simply called as "city ecosystem"; and the big platform, namely around city district in certain region scope or also referred to as "city-region ecosystem". The construction of an ecological city must be launched in the dual spatial criteria: in city (urban district) criterion—optimizing the city ecosystem; in city-region (city territory) criterion—optimizing the city-region ecosystem. Luoy-ang has the bright characteristic and the typical image within cities of China, and even in the world. The construction of an ecological city in dual spatial criteria—the city and the city-region—has the vital significance to urbanization advancement and sustainable development in Luoyang. In city-region criterion, the primary mission of Luoyang’s ecological city construction is to create a fine ecological environment platform in its city territory. In city criterion, the basic duty of Luoyang’s ecologic city construction is to enhance the ecological capacity and benefit of the central city.

Unidirectional propagation of water waves near ancient Luoyang Bridge

Metasurfaces and metagratings offer new platforms for electromagnetic wave control with significant responses.However,metasurfaces based on abrupt phase change and resonant structures suffer from the drawback of high loss and face challenges when applied in water waves.Therefore,the application of metasurfaces in water wave control is not ideal due to the limitations associated with high loss and other challenges.We have discovered that non-resonant metagratings exhibit promising effects in water wave control.Leveraging the similarity between bridges and metagratings,we have successfully developed a water wave metagrating model inspired by the ancient Luoyang Bridge in China.We conduct theoretical calculations and simulations on the metagrating and derive the equivalent anisotropic model of the metagrating.This model provides evidence that the metagrating has the capability to control water waves and achieve unidirectional surface water wave.The accuracy of our theory is strongly supported by the clear observation of the unidirectional propagation phenomenon during simulation and experiments conducted using a reduced version of the metagrating.It is the first time that the unidirectional propagation of water waves has been seen in water wave metagrating experiment.Above all,we realize the water wave metagrating experiment for the first time.By combining complex gratings with real bridges,we explore the physics embedded in the ancient building—Luoyang Bridge,which are of great significance for the water wave metagrating design and provide a new method for analyzing the effects of water waves on bridges.At the same time,this discovery also provides a new idea for ocean cargo transportation,ocean garbage cleaning,and the development and protection of ancient bridges.

六朝洛阳至建康驿路的文学担当

六朝尽管国家分裂,但洛阳到建康仍有一条驿路沟通南北,驿路走向、沿途风物、风俗人情均对六朝文学的文体、题材、主题产生了影响。永嘉南渡后,该驿路应时势的变化,变成乱世士人的奔亡之路,文官从征奉使之路,奉使交聘行记、从征行记、交聘语录、从征唱和诗、轶事小说从中而出。不仅如此,还对传统的行旅文学有明显的推动,这一时期产生的诗文,主要写此路的避难、奉使、征伐、交聘,带有鲜明的乱世特征。题材虽非新增,但内容和风格有新变。这些诗文创作提高了六朝行旅文学的水平,使得汉魏以前还默默无闻、尚未独立成类的行旅诗,成为士人熟悉的常用题材。这表明贯通南北的驿路交通是六朝文学发展的重要推动力。

“方割”与“融合”:北魏洛阳城的社会空间研究

北魏在扩建都城平城时,为应对大规模移民的聚居问题,采用“方割”为名的规划建设方式,后在北魏洛阳城推行。“方割”的初衷是保证不同社会阶层的居住隔离,但北魏洛阳城的社会空间却表现出“融合”趋势。目前规划史研究并未关注。根据历史文献,将北魏洛阳城的居民划分为胡汉士庶四个等级阶层,以《洛阳伽蓝记》为数据来源。研究发现,各城区都有不同程度的阶层混居;里坊间的阶层差异虽然高于城区间的差异,但里坊内也有民族、士庶、南北朝等不同社会阶层的混居现象。北魏洛阳城的社会空间在统一的“方割”底图上,总体上呈现出城区尺度的居住混合与里坊尺度的居住隔离相交织的结构特征。长期推行的汉化政策是主要原因;汉化政策又通过影响阶层认知和城市规划建设方式,进一步影响了社会融合。其中“方割”而成的里坊,以统一的形制对社会空间分异起到了消弭作用。研究能够丰富中国城市发展与规划建设史,并为认识城市规划与社会发展之间的关系提供历史启示。
