Comparative study on WHO Western Pacific Region and World Federation of Chinese Medicine Societies international standard terminologies on traditional medicine: Diseases in External Medicine (Part 1)

External medicine, also frequently described as surgery, has a history as long as that of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. There were important doctors in each dynasty who devoted themselves to the study and practice of external medicine. In TCM external medicine, diseases are named either according to their location （such as neck abscess and back carbuncle）, or viscera involved （such as intestinal abscess and lung abscess）, or causes （such as tetanus and chilblain, which are literally known respectively as wind damage of wound and sore caused by cold in TCM）, or shape （such as snake head boil and goose web wind）, or the color （such as erysipelas and vitiligo which are literally known respectively as red toxin and white skin wind）, etc.

Comparative study on WHO Western Pacific Region and World Federation of Chinese Medicine Societies international standard terminologies on traditional medicine: Diseases in External Medicine (Part 3)

rocky mass/cancer： any malignant tumor occurring on body surface that looks and feels like rock In classical Chinese medicine, the character 岩 （literally meaning rock） means the same thing as 癌 （malignant tumor）. That is why it is now usually translated as ＂cancer＂ or ＂carcinoma＂, which is adopted in the WFCMS Standard. To translate it as ＂rocky mass＂ in the WPRO Standard appears quite unique and sounds semantically equivalent to the original term.

From Cultural Utilization to Cultural Understanding:Two Phases of the English-Speaking World’s Reception of Traditional Chinese Plays

The article analyzes the translations,performances and the reception of traditional Chinese plays in the English-speaking world from the mid-and-late eighteenth century to the early twentieth century.We found that the reception underwent two phases featuring self-centered and multicultural respectively.In the first phase,the English-speaking world acknowledged the moral values of traditional Chinese plays but it did not accept their aesthetic values while in the second phase,aesthetic values became the focus and were received through translations,studies and performances.The two phases differed significantly.The first phase was characterized by the initial contacts and exchanges between the plays and the English culture as well as obvious cultural misunderstandings.During the second phase,moral and aesthetic values were gradually accepted.Text translations,theatrical studies and performances were flourishing while cultural misunderstandings decreased remarkably.The two stages demonstrate the general result of the Chinese culture’s historical process of“going global”.The reception of Chinese culture by other cultures often started with cultural utilization,accompanied by obvious cultural misunderstandings.With the deepening of contacts and exchanges between the two cultures,however,the host culture began to gain a better understanding of the intrinsic values of Chinese culture and therefore cultural misunderstandings decreased.Cultural misunderstandings are an inevitable historical process that the Chinese culture would experience during its“going global”.With continuing and expanded exposures,the intrinsic values of Chinese culture will continue to manifest themselves.

Exploration and Research on Translation Strategies of Terminologies in Treatise on Warm Heat Disease

Cultural Translation Theory,originated in the 20 th century,states that the study of translation is the study of cultural in-teraction.It aims to explain that translation should not merely be constrained at traditional linguistic level,but should go to a muchbroader area,that is to say,the cultural and historical frame to direct our translation.Wen Re Lun(Treatise on Warm Heat Disease)is a representative classic of Warm Disease Theory in Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM),with considerable cultural tradition.From the perspective of Cultural Translation Theory,this thesis discussed the translation strategy of terminologies in Wen Re Lun.The principle,"mainly based on foreignization and domestication as minor",could be preferable to transmit the TCM essence byits own language.

The Semiotic Thinking Mode in Translation--A Perspective from Traditional Chinese Culture

Research on the origin of the theory of“heart as monarch”in Huang Di Nei Jing(Yellow Emperor’s Internal Classic)

Scholars have previously attributed the theoretical origin of“the heart is the monarch/ruler”to the monarchical view of politics.However,according to the latest unearthed documents and relevant documents handed down from ancient times,it can be found that the theory of“the heart is the monarch”might derive from the importance of attachment to the“Zhong”ideology in traditional culture,which promoted the concept that the heart as the center of body,should be the ruler and was later evolved as the“monarch”.Similar cognitive views were all mentioned in Confucianism,Taoism,eclectics scholars and other pre-Qin literature,but only in the system of traditional Chinese medicine,they played a significant role in building the heart-centered theory of Zang-Fu.Traditional Chinese medicine is a discipline developed mainly by clinical practice with the fundamental purpose of curing diseases and saving people.Although the philosophy of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)roots in the pre-Qin Dynasty,the development is unique to the other philosophies.With rich cultural connotations and philosophical thoughts,TCM is certainly the key to the treasures of Chinese civilization and deserves more attention and exploration.

Cultural analysis of the management accounting application in China

Management accounting is an applied subject. As YU Xu-ying said, it not only embodies the concept of technology, also reflects the fixed concept of social culture. Viewing from the cultural point, this paper analyses the applying status quo of management accounting in China. Its main viewpoints are as follows： management accounting is originated from the West, and its appearance is built on the basis of the West thought of management, so, to a certain degree, it is influenced by the West culture. In fact, its application in China is in a new cultural circumstance so that it is certainly influenced by the Chinese culture, especially the Chinese traditional culture; thus one of the important reasons for the undesirable application of management accounting in China is the difference between the East culture and the West culture. Therefore, the special cultural factor of China should be considered in order to promote what is beneficial and to abolish what is harmful if management accounting is widely applied in China.

中国式现代化的中华优秀传统文化根脉论要

习近平在文化传承发展座谈会上的重要讲话中深刻指出:“中国式现代化赋予中华文明以现代力量,中华文明赋予中国式现代化以深厚底蕴。”这为我们思考中国式现代化与中华文明包括整个中华优秀传统文化的内在逻辑提供了重要启迪。中国式现代化深深植根于中华优秀传统文化,中国式现代化的整体目标既与传统文化中“天下大治”的最高政治理念相契合,又与传统社会中数千年积淀的社会理想相统一。中国式现代化可以从中华优秀传统文化中追寻到极为丰富且厚重的思想渊源,因而,从中华优秀传统文化根脉的角度研究中国走上独特现代化道路问题,首要的应阐释其最主要或是从思想源起上最为久远的内容。具体来看,中华传统哲学中内含的“保合太和”和“容民富众”国家治理观内生出“大道之行也”的社会图景,伴随几千年的文化下移过程在传统农耕社会中形成了期待“太平盛世”的民心常情。士人阶层的政治抱负与普通百姓的朴素生活理想“上下相通”,为中国人在追求民族发展的道路上提供了基本规范,亦成为中国式现代化最深厚的中华文化根脉。
