The Influence of the Study of Qing Dynasty Vague Words on Qing Dynasty Exegesis

Throughout the development of exegesis,the Qing Dynasty was the golden age of exegetical development,which can be called the great achievement of the previous generations and the opening of the abyss of the future generations,and achieved unprecedented results in both textual,exegetical,and phonetic aspects.The reason for the prosperity of the development of exegesis in the Qing Dynasty cannot be separated from the rise of the study of the imaginary word,both theoretically,drawing on the theoretical framework of western grammar,and in terms of the specific methodological guidance provided to exegesis in the study of specific problems,which had a great impact on the promotion of exegesis to its heyday and on the further adjustments needed for modern exegesis to enter a period of smooth transition.

Innovation and Integration:Chinese Exegesis and Modern Semantics Before 1949

It is widely accepted that knowledge in the humanities is highly situated. Especially mediated is knowledge in the domain of meaning studies, the differences in time, space and language being particular challenges for researchers to interpret and represent the past. This article, in terms of linguistic historiography, offers an overview of the spread of modern semantics in China since 1906, its mixture with traditional Chinese Exegesis, and its growth into New Exegesis(Semantics), and presents the differences between traditional Chinese Exegesis and New Exegesis in their nature, scope, principles, and research methods in order to bring the past and the present into dialogic engagement, and meanwhile to offer references to the writing of a history of modern Chinese semantics before 1949.

Levinas’Ethics for the Other in Communication and Interpretation

Levinas regarded language as transcendental way for the subject to build ethical relationship with the other.Language for the other can lead to infinity as long as it is related to the other.Metaphor contains veiled transcendental essence,which can be disclosed by connecting with the other.As for dialogue,communication with the other can realize the intersubjectivity between the subject and the other,which shows the highness of the other and builds the subjectivity for the self at the same time.And for interpretation aspect,Levinasdevotion to exegesis of Talmud leads an ethical perspective for reading sacred text.

“路西弗”源流考

"路西弗"(Lucifer)长久以来已经被看作是魔鬼的名字之一了,可以和撒但划上等号。但是,撒但也好,路西弗也好,都不是只能用来指代魔鬼的专有名词。撒但在希伯来语中的意思是拦路者、对手、敌人,所以希腊文在翻译指"魔鬼"的撒但的时候,就将其转译为字面含义相当的diabolos,拉丁文再次转译为diabolus,而这就是英文devil一词的起源。相比之下,"路西弗"这个名字则动听得多。它在拉丁文中的意思是明亮之星,"带来光明的"。那么。

On the Doctrinal and Institutional Organization of a Buddhist Commentarial Project Commissioned by Ming Taizu

A commentarial project commissioned by emperor Ming Taizu （r.1368-1398） in 1377, which was dedicated to the Prajnaparamita-hrdaya-sutra, theVajracchedika-prajfiaparamita-sutra, and the Lankavatara-sutra, defined coherent standards of Buddhist learning by reference to early Chinese translations and Indian commentarial literature. In order to provide a clear-cut basis for the education of the clergy, its selective and reductive approach aimed at a standardization of doctrine and homogenization of terminology. Production and purport of the commentarial project are documented in a series of paratexts, prefaces, colophons, production notes and memoranda. They indicate a strong consciousness for the institutional, ideological and political aspects of the production procedure and its benefits for controlling the formation of Buddhist authority. Such decidedly functional under- standing of the institutional aspects of the production of exegesis leads to the conclusion that besides the normativity of doctrinal knowledge the main objective was to establish a basis for institutional integration of those who are in the privileged position to select whom they allow to assume authority, and to define the selection standards as well.
