Comparative Literature in Chinese and an Interview with Yue
No full textIn their article Comparative Literature in Chinese and an Interview with Daiyun Yue Hui Zhang and Daiyun Yue present a review of the discipline of comparative literature based on an interview with Yue (2010). Because Yue\u27s work with comparative literature is intertwined with her personal journey, the interview sheds light on other Chinese scholars and their work who would not be known audiences outside China. The interview also touches on the academic and political reasons why the joint dualisms of ancient/modern and Chinese/foreign continue to be major structuring principles of the discipline in China, as well as how the development of the discipline in China was influenced by engagements with Anglophone U.S. and Canadian scholars and institutions
Migrant workers, collaborative research and spatial pressures : an interview with Meng Yue
No full textIn July last year I had the opportunity to interview Meng Yue, literary scholar and author of Shanghai and the Edges of Empire (2006). Meng Yue has been collaborating with Toronto-based architect and artist Adrian Blackwell for a number of years, with their students from literature and architecture undertaking highly interesting research on the peripheral zones of Beijing. Questions of peri-urban food production, land use, resource distribution and the multiplication of labour skills have framed these investigations. The interview below is extracted from a considerably longer discussion we had in Beijing during the late summer of 2007, half of which was lost to the faulty battery of an ipod (the rest remains to be transcribed from video…)
Pedagogical Questions in Parent-Child Conversations
No full textQuestioning is a core component of formal pedagogy. Parents commonly question children, but do they use questions to teach? This article defines "pedagogical questions" as questions for which the questioner already knows the answer and intended to help the questionee learn. Transcripts of parent-child conversations were collected from the CHILDES database to examine the frequency and distribution of pedagogical questions. Analysis of 2,166 questions from 166 mother-child dyads and 64 father-child dyads (child's age between 2 and 6 years) showed that pedagogical questions are commonplace during day‐to‐day parent-child conversations and vary based on child's age, family environment, and historical era. The results serve as a first step toward understanding the role of parent-child questions in facilitating children's learning.Preprint provided, so should not violate copyright, embargoPeer reviewe
The Language Choices in the Personal Social Domain of the Kuala Lumpur Yue Community: Cases Analysis and Comparison of Three Female Yue Community Members
No full textWhile Yue is the predominant language in certain regions of Malaysia, previous sociolinguistics studies have mostly focused on the usage of other Sinitic languages in the local context. The discussion of the situation of Yue in certain regions is relatively limited. The author conducted a survey with three Chinese female members of the Kuala Lumpur Yue Community from August 2023 to May 2024 to investigate their language choices. This paper summarizes the findings of the survey, describing and comparing the interviewees’ language choices in the family and friend occasions, which are parts of the personal social domain. It then contrasts these findings with existing large-scale language surveys conducted in Malaysia, aiming to enhance the sociolinguistic understanding of the Kuala Lumpur Yue Community

Formation and reactivity of allenes and spirodiepoxides
No full textDisclosed are the studies on allene and functionalized medium sized ring synthesis as well as applications of spirodiepoxide based methods. A new method of making allenes via C-C bond fragmentation was developed by which, most notably, an enantioenriched functionalized cyclic allene was synthesized. Mechanistic studies provide a framework for understanding this reaction in relation to other known modes of fragmentation. The synthesis of a chiral cyclononadienone was completed. This product has been shown to be a key intermediate towards many members of the xenicane family. Three epoxomicin analogues were synthesized. The issue of selectivity in allene oxidation was addressed in the course of this study. A model study towards erythronolide A was completed in which the feasibility of selective double cuprate addition to a bis[spirodiepoxide] macrolactone controlled by the macrocyclic environment was demonstrated. Lastly, the development of new reactions using spirodiepoxides to directly access densely functionalized structures in single- or two-flask procedures is reported.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Yue Zhan
Qing hua jian "Fu Yue zhi ming" de wen xian xue yan jiu =: A philological study on the literature of Tsinghua bamboo scripts named Fu Yue zhi ming (Charge to Yue)
No full textM.Phil.In 2008, Tsinghua University obtained a bunch of excavated bamboo manuscripts in the Warring States period which given by the university’s alumni. The contents include some rare chapters of the Book of Documents (also known as the Shangshu《尚書》), among which there are three chapters with the topic name of the “Charge to Yue” (also known as Yue Ming〈說命〉). The name was written on the back of bamboo slip. This essay investigates the philological questions based on the excavated version of the “Charge to Yue”.There are three Chapters of “Charge to Yue” in the Book of Documents. The Shangshu’s preface says, “Emperor Gaozong dreamed about obtaining Fu Yue (傅說) and then he asked ministers to find him. Fu Yue was found at a place called Fu Yan (傅巖). Three chapters of ‘Charge to Yue’were recorded.” It is said that this “old-text” version is provided by Mei Ze (梅賾) of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Since the Qing Dynasty, scholars have widely argued that it is a work of fabrication, in spite of that, there are some scholars believing that it is a true copy. Comparing the received text with the excavated text, only a small part of the received text that were quoted by other Pre-Qin Classics can correspond to the excavated bamboo manuscripts.This thesis consists of two parts. The first part introduces scholars’ opinions about these chapters, and then summarizes and brings forward the writer’s point of view. The other part talks over the received “Charge to Yue”. Through juxtaposing and comparing the excavated texts, the received “Charge to Yue” and the quotations of the received “Charge to Yue” taken from other books, this article has found the relationships among the excavated texts and the two kinds of received texts, and figured out the differences of content, framework and diction. Furthermore, this essay has explored the sources of the “Charge to Yue” of the received text of the Book of Documents.二〇〇八年，清華大學獲得校友所贈的一批戰國楚簡，內容包含多篇以往出土材料中罕見的《書》類文獻。 二〇一二年十二月，上海中西書局出版了《清華大學藏戰國竹簡（叁）》，其中包括三篇簡背寫有篇題「傅說之命」的簡文。本文以此為研究對象。《尚書》有〈說命〉篇，《書序》云：「高宗夢得說，使百工營求諸野，得諸傅巖，作〈說命〉三篇。」今傳古文《尚書·說命》來自東晉時梅賾所獻古文《尚書》，清代以來多視其為僞書。對比今傳古文《尚書·說命》與清華簡〈傅說之命〉，除部分語句外，全然不同。二者相同的部分語句，同時也見於其他傳世古書，有的明言出自《說命》。本文分為兩部分，第一部分是「清華簡〈傅說之命〉疑義考釋」，總結現有研究成果，比較諸家意見，並提出自己的看法。第二部分是「清華簡與今傳《尚書·說命》辨偽」，通過對讀簡本、今傳本〈說命〉及傳世古籍中的〈說命〉引文，探討三者內容結構、行文用字方面的異同，理清三者間的嬗變關係，並總結不同學者對簡本、今傳本差異的看法，討論清華簡的出現對《尚書》辨偽的作用，並總結歸納今傳本《尚書·說命》的史料來源。吳楚.Parallel title from English abstract.Thesis M.Phil.

Origin of Gu-chui-yue, Traditional Chinese Music for Percussion and Wind Instruments(Guchui yue qiyuan shuo)
No full text在西周时期 ,统治阶级注重礼乐制度并把音乐歌舞的表演作为祭祀天神、宗祖的重要礼仪 ,这就使得鼓吹乐这个乐种在西周朝廷施用的祭祀礼仪的音乐表演中应运而生。The assumption that gu-chui-yue started during the Qin and Han Dynasties (221 B.C. ~ A.D.220) is challenged both by the archeological evidence of the Xia and Shang Dynasties (2070 B.C.~1046 B.C.) and by three major historical sources of the Zhou Dynasty (1046 B.C.~256 B.C.). In addition, the author argues that the initial gu-chui-yue was formed out of the sacrifice rituals of the West Zhou period (1046B.C. ~ 771 B.C.)
