Cross-watershed horizontal ecological compensation system : comparative examples from China and Germany
Get PDFIn recent years, horizontal ecological compensation in the Yangtze River basin is a new policy for protecting the ecology. But it still has shortcomings in policy implementation. In contrast, Germany, which reached an ecological compensation agreement with the Czech Republic on the Elbe River as early as the 1990s, is a worthy reference object for China. Therefore, this study systematically reviews the literature on horizontal ecological compensation in China and abroad. It finds that the relevant literature on ecological compensation policies lacks composite research using research methods that combine qualitative and quantitative analysis. So, this study uses social network analysis and content analysis to analyze the ecological compensation policies of the Yangtze River basin in China and the Elbe River in Germany in a three-dimensional comparison of policy objectives - policy instruments - policy implementers. Through the comparison, this study finds that the horizontal ecological compensation in the Yangtze River basin in China has a single source of funding, a single compensation model, and a lack of market-oriented and diversified compensation models. Because of these problems, this study proposes to improve China\u27s ecological compensation mechanism policy by realizing ecological industrialization, deepening sectoral cooperation, and strengthening ecological compensation. And it will be an important guideline to realize the organic combination of ecological protection of the Yangtze River and its economic development of the watershed

Book launch event : Reproductive politics in East Asia : rethinking reproductive agency amid demographic crises
No full textObjectives:/= / \u3eSince the beginning of the 21st century, East Asia has entered an era of demographic crisis — with an expanding ageing population and a persistent decline in the fertility rate. While increasing the fertility rate has become an urgent task for East Asian governments and societies, individual reproductive agency has been neglected under the dominant pronatalist rhetoric. Reproduction is a private experience and a matter of personal freedom and bodily autonomy, yet it is subsumed under the state\u27s biopolitical governance through various regulatory measures. This book launch, as well as the interdisciplinary panel, focuses on the reproductive politics in East Asia and brings to light diverse reproductive experiences and subjectivities, including premarital abortion in mainland China, abortion politics in Taiwan, contraceptive decision-making in Japan, and reproductive aspirations in mainland China. It explores a timely and under-addressed topic, offering insights into the relationship between personal and public politics in the context of reproduction.
Abstract of the Book:/= / \u3eDrawing on participant observations, in-depth interviews, and content analysis of online materials, Premarital abortion in China: intimacy, family and reproduction investigates the role of individual choice, relationships, and institutions in unmarried Chinese women’s decisions to terminate their pregnancies. Where previous studies have focused on abortion in China as a state-mandated procedure to enforce the one-child policy, this book looks at a new era, where abortion is primarily based on individuals’ decisions. While young women in China enjoy greater freedom to pursue their personal, sexual, and reproductive aspirations, their autonomy remains constrained by structural inequalities of gender, class, and migration status, which are reproduced through the intersection of state policies, market forces, and patriarchal family culture. In this book, the author recounts the stories and presents the voices of unmarried young adult women, and documents the impact of sweeping socioeconomic transformation on their reproductive experiences in contemporary China amidst the ending of the one-child policy.

“石華”一辨 : 兼論謝靈運《遊赤石進帆海》詩之主旨
Get PDF本文擬從對謝靈運《遊赤石進帆海》詩中的“石華”這一名物的考辨入手，重新認識謝靈運帆海之遊的目的；同時，通過對詩中典故（如“陰霞”、“窮髪”、“虛舟”等）的考證，判斷謝靈運在創作該詩的時候所聯想到的意象和文本，并試圖分析這些典故在詩中重組後的意義，并藉以歸納全詩的旨趣。總的來說，謝靈運前往帆海的動機包括了三個方面：尋仙藥（石華、海月）、訪天池之仙人、探索未知的遠海。而詩的主旨則落在“至人無己”、“適己”和“終然謝先伐”之上。全詩統一於“養生”的主題。
With an exploration of the term shihua (rock flowers) in Xie Lingyun’s poem “You Chishi jin fan hai” (On a Trip to Red Rocks I Sailed out on the Sea) as the point of departure, this paper re-interprets the poet’s motivations for seafaring. By investigating the allusions such as yinxia (lunar fire), qiongfa (barren land), and Xuzhou (vacant boat), this paper speculates on the images and texts the poet thought of when writing this poem, tries to analyze the significance of re-organizing these allusions, and in so doing summarizes the poem’s theme. Xie’s three motivations for seafaring include: (1) to seek immortal herbs (shihua, haiyue); (2) to search for immortals from the heavenly pool; (3) to explore uncharted maritime territories. The subthemes of altruism, acting truthfully to oneself, and biding one’s time are consolidated in the poem’s overall theme—nourishing life
