Kashmiri “Imperial Preceptor” Namo (or Nanwu) in China During Yuan Dynasty
Get PDFThe Buddhist monk Namo (Nanwu), born in Kashmir, came to China during the Yuan Dynasty and was highly regarded by Emperor Xianzong (also known as Emperor Mengge) and honored as Imperial Preceptor, which ranked the highest in Buddhist monks. The place that Namo visited is in today's Zhengding County, Hebei Province. He was once the abbot of the Giant Buddhist Temple (also known as Longxing Temple) in Zhengding (a Prefecture at that time--added by translator). Namo was not only the first Imperial Preceptor of the Yuan Dynasty, who occupied an outstanding position in the history of Buddhism, but also selflessly funded the restoration of the Giant Buddhist Temple, which was recorded in the inscription of "Merit Record of Preceptor Nanwu of Dachao who repaired Longxing Temple, Zhending Prefecture", which is still preserved in Ci Shi Pavilion of the Giant Buddhist Temple

An Analysis of Code-switching in Uygur, Chinese and English: From the Perspective of Sociolinguistics
Get PDFCode-switching is a common phenomenon in daily life. With the improvement of social education level, we have not only mastered our mother tongue, but also other languages. Code-switching between native language, Chinese and English is an ubiquitous phenomenon in daily conversation for ethnic minorities. Previous studies merely focus on code-switching between two languages, but lack the analysis of code switching function in the dialogue between three language users. Code-switching among the three languages involves little communication in daily life. Bilingual education policy and multi-ethnic communication enrich the language of the nation.This paper analyzes the function of human transcribing in the daily conversation of language users.The author made a questionnaire, which designed whether code-switching would be involved in communication, under what circumstances would code-switching occur, and the intention of code-switching. The author collects and records the conversion of people's three languages in the natural state. Secondly, the author classifies and analyzes the recorded dialogues according to their functions
A Study on the Construction of Five-In-One Teaching Model for Sports Clubs in Hubei Enshi College
Get PDFIn the 20 years since Shenzhen University took the lead in implementing the teaching reform of the university public sports club system in 1994, well-known and local universities throughout China have implemented the teaching mode of public sports extracurricular club systems one after another. This paper uses research methods such as literature review, expert interviews, and mathematical and statistical analysis to investigate the current situation of sports clubs at Hubei Enshi College and analyze the teaching mode of sports clubs there. Based on this analysis, it was concluded that the sports club at Enshi College in Hubei should adopt a five-in-one teaching mode of "ladder teaching, online learning and practice, multiple assessments, public competitions, and brand sports." The paper suggests that in local ethnic colleges and universities, the university sports club should first establish a unique teaching content and teaching mode of the sports club system. Additionally, the club should form an independent teaching assessment system, and the management system of the university sports club should be continuously optimized, thus promoting the continuous improvement of the comprehensive education system of Hubei Enshi College. This research provides practical guidance to promote the benign development of university sports clubs at Hubei Enshi College and enhance the campus cultural atmosphere of comprehensive sports for university students

Study on the Capacity Assessment and Optimization Path of Social Organizations in Assisting Rural Revitalization
Get PDFParticipation in rural revitalization is a crucial responsibility for social organizations. It not only demonstrates their commitment to serving the country, society, the public, and the industry but is also a vital avenue for achieving high-quality development. To assess the ability of social organizations to contribute to rural revitalization, we constructed an evaluation index system. We employed the TOPSIS evaluation and barrier degree model to evaluate the ability of Chinese social organizations, private non-enterprises, and foundations to participate in rural revitalization in our research area. Our results indicate that the overall ability of social organizations to participate in rural revitalization is at a medium-low level, and three major obstacles exist in the areas of organizational construction, basic guarantee, and project participation. Therefore, we should focus on improving the organizational construction capacity by strengthening the "internal strength of the organization" and cultivate the basic guarantee capacity by paying attention to "own finance." We should also enhance the participation capacity of rural revitalization projects by setting "participation targets" and relying on the "internal strength of the organization." We propose optimization paths from various perspectives, including practicing "internal strength of the organization" and actively improving the capacity of organization construction, paying attention to "own finance" and continuously cultivating the capacity of basic guarantee, focusing on "participation targets" and effectively strengthening the capacity of participation in rural revitalization projects, relying on "digital empowerment" and enhancing the professional service capacity of social organizations, integrating "rural demands" and improving the policy coordination capacity of social organizations
