    Pentasyllabic Shi Poetry : Landscape poetry : Landscapes of the mind

    Get PDF
    This episode discusses the prehistory of Chinese landscape poetry. In the centuries before poets began to write consistently of their concrete, personal experiences out in nature, landscape appeared in poetry primarily as a foil for the city and the court, where most poets were writing. In this role, the natural landscape could be terrifyingly inhospitable or wondrous and pure. Either way, it was for the most part imagined rather than experienced, a site more often for mental roaming than for extended in-person exploration

    劍橋大學經濟學教授張夏準曾說:人們往往覺得經濟學高深莫測,若非專家不宜評頭品足;就連不少經濟學家也這樣想,經濟學還是留給我們這些專家好了! 問題在於:每個人每日都在參與經濟活動,難道就不能用常識來了解經濟?經濟學故弄玄虛的專業術語,真能幫助我們更加認識經濟現實?抑或那只是一套「語言偽術」,一直愚弄著全世界的所有人……包括那些欠缺思考能力的決策官員? 是時候共同掃盲,齊齊走出經濟學的迷障!https://commons.ln.edu.hk/feature/1007/thumbnail.jp

    Pentasyllabic Shi Poetry : Landscape poetry : Xie Tiao : The integration of landscape

    Get PDF
    This episode concludes our exploration of Six Dynasties landscape poetry by considering the verse of Xie Tiao (464–499). By Xie Tiao’s time, landscape was becoming an increasingly common topic within the world of courtly verse. Partly for this reason, Xie’s poetry begins to efface the previously definitive distinction between the human world and the natural landscape, and moreover imbues that landscape with the passions of the courtier—in Xie’s case, both his yearning for the court and capital and his well-justified fear of the dangers of court politics

    Due to the vast improvement in technology and the fluctuation of the COVID-19 pandemic, the generalization of using e-learning tools for teaching has been on the rise throughout these years. However, not much research has been done to evaluate its effectiveness. This study aims to examine the impacts of using e-learning tools for teaching English and discuss the possibility of completely replacing traditional pedagogy with e-learning tools. This project was carried out using a qualitative methodology, through in-depth interviewing and a combination of thematic and comparative analysis to provide a holistic insight into the topic. The results indicate the high effectiveness of e-learning for enhancing interaction and immediacy. At the same time, they reveal the existence of technical problems as a major drawback. Furthermore, they emphasize the crucial need to maintain the co-existence of conventional teaching methods and e-learning. By implication, e-learning plays an important role as the facilitator of a conducive English learning environment. It is hoped that educators could have a deeper insight into the topic of e-learning and its implementation, allowing them to make decisions on the level of adoption

    The Book of Poetry : Courtship poems

    Get PDF
    The three courtship forms, “I Beg of you, Zhong Zi,” “The Banks of the Ru,” and “The Retiring Girl,” present contrasting depictions of the courtship process in early China. In the first, a village encounter between two lovers or potential lovers is depicted. The man and the woman in “The Banks of the Ru” may be married or simply lovers, but the link to the previous poem is the concern about the girl’s parents. This is the most clearly erotic of the poems presented. “The Retiring Girl” depicts a couple in a relationship with the young woman still reticent to have their love made public
