Acer sycopseoides Chun
No full textAcer sycopseoides Chun (1932:t. 3160). Type.— China. Guangxi [Kwangsi]: Luocheng Xian [Lu-chen-hsien], [Tia-Lian-Shan], elev. ca. 540 m, 25 May 1928, R. C. Ching 5336 (IBSC0436401, lectotype designated by Fang 1939; isolectotypes A00050491, CQNM0000975, K000640908, NAS00071821, NAS00071822, NAS00071823, NAS00071824, NY00337719, PE00023451, PE00023452). Note:—In the protologue, Chun (1932) cited a single gathering but did not specify the herbarium where the specimens are deposited. Ten duplicates are traced in herbaria A, CQNM, IBSC, K, NAS, NY and PE as listed above, and all are syntypes according to Art. 9.6 (Turland et al. 2018). When Fang (1939) wrote “type in Suny.”, he achieved to designate the lectotype for the name. The specimen IBSC043641 was previously deposited at Suny. (Abbreviation of Sun Yatsen University) and later transferred to IBSC, which bears both the title of Sun Yatsen University (in Chinese) at lower right and handwritten annotation by W. Y. Chun. In the handwritten annotation, Chun annotated in 1930 as “ Acer sycopseoides Chun, sp. nov. (Changed from A. pachyphyllu Chun, mss). Fragments deposited at Kew”, which means the specimen IBSC043641 was not the only specimen that Chun (1932) based to describe the species, and it is reasonable to be the lectotype designated by Fang (1939). It is clearly noted in the protologue (Chun 1932) that the author of this name was Chun (W. Y. Chun), and this is also supported by annotation on the lectotype, but the authorship was wrongly ascribed to F.Chun (Faith Chun or Shuzhen Chen; e.g. Xu et al. 2008).Published as part of Chen, Feng & He, Hai, 2022, The historical relics in Chongqing Natural History Museum: An annotated checklist of original materials for 37 names of Chinese seed plants, pp. 38-52 in Phytotaxa 530 (1) on page 46, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.530.1.3, http://zenodo.org/record/582393

New solitary wave solutions to nonlinear evolution equations by the Exp-function method
No full textAbstractA new application of the Exp-function method in combination with the dependent variable transformation from singularity analysis is proposed for constructing new generalized solitary wave solutions and periodic wave solutions for nonlinear evolution equations. The Korteweg–de Vries equation is chosen to illustrate the validity and applicability of the suggested approach
How Shih-chi Was Wr itten to Follow Chun-chiou
No full text《史記》是中國的正史鼻祖、散文大宗，但司馬遷卻自謂其作史接周、孔，「繼春秋」。因此，《史記》與《春秋》的關係，遂變成一個重要、有爭論且難解的老問題。本研究計畫約縮研究範圍，直指問題核心，主要探討司馬遷所說的是哪一部《春秋》？何人所作？以及《史記》究竟如何「繼春秋」？此一問題之探，需要對《史記》與《春秋》同具深入的理解，特別是春秋公羊。Shih-chi has been known as the origin of
Chinese standard histories and a classic of
prose for a long time. But its author Symachian
claimed that the root of what he did
was the spirits of Zhou-gung (周公) and
Confucius, and his book was a follower of
Chun-chiou( 春秋). Therefore the relation
between Shih-chi and Chun-chiou has
constantly been an important open question
without any identical answer. Now in this
plan, only the keys of all difficult problems
are aimed at so that actual progress would be
made. Essentially three questions will be
discussed one after another: Which Chunchiou
is the one to be followed by Shih-chi?
Who is the author of the Chun-chiou? How
was Shih-chi written to follow it? I think a
successful research about these questions will
deeply depend on a comprehension of Shihchi
as well as of Chun-chiou, especially the
interpretations of Chun-chiou from Gungyang(
公羊) school

Interview of author Tenea D. Johnson at the Zora Neale Hurston Festival in Eatonville, Florida
No full textTenea D. Johnson, award winning author and founder of Progress By Design, is interviewed by Grace Chun, project coordinator at University of Florida Samuel Proctor Oral History Program, as part of the Zora Neale Hurston Festival in Eatonville, Florida. Tenea speaks about her work, afrofuturism, and how her stories and songs create worlds to examine big questions. She defines speculative fiction anything that doesn't abide by the rules, that is not based in reality. Tenea says she hopes that afrofuturism and Black speculative fiction will become a greater force than just entertainment and that Zora Neale Hurston's ethnographies influenced her the most as she demonstrated confidence not out of ego but of skill, exemplifying bravery and openness
Research on the Similarities between the Plot of Ji Chun Tai and Content of Sichuan Opera
No full textJi Chun Tai is the masterpiece of Sichuan dialect on late Qing Dynasty, composed of 40 vernacular short stories. It is divided into four parts, namely, Yuan Ji, Heng Ji, Li Ji, and Zhen Ji. Each part contains ten short stories. The author of Ji Chun Tai is a literator from Zhong Jiang who failed in imperial examination System in late Qing Dynasty. There are a large number of Sichuan Opera elements in those forty vernacular short stories. Generally speaking, the plot of Ji Chun Tai is full of ups and downs, together with relatively concentrated conflicts, which reflects the characteristics of Sichuan opera. Besides, the thought of persuasion and punishment, strong superstitious color, and detective story in Ji Chui Tai are combined together to reflect the characteristics of Sichuan Opera
The Study of Kangxi' Emperor's Chun Qiu Jie Yi
No full textWhen Chun Qiu was passed down to Kangxi in the early Qing Dynasty, it had already had a history of two millennia in which it underwent elaborations and explanations by both emperors and scholars. The preceding explicatory attempts had accumulated to not only form an enormous system of interpretation but also develop many important issues.
After having ascended to authority, Emperor Kangxi commissioned the Hanlin imperial academicians to expound Chun Qiu for him. Kangxi Emperor\ue2s Chun Qiu Jie Yi (referred to hereafter as Chun Qiu Jie Yi) is an anthology of the teaching materials used in the lectures. As newcomers to the long procession of previous interpreters of Chun Qiu, Kangxi and the academicians could not help having to respond to both the existent scholarship on the gist and calligraphy of the classic and the issues foregrounded by biographies and explanatory notes on which their own explications were based. Moreover, when it came to appropriating and extolling Chinese classics, the emperors reigning at the dawn of the Qing Dynasty, being foreign rulers, could not possibly bypass the exegetical tradition of Chun Qiu and were expected to declare their perspectives on the issues emphasized therein. Therefore, one of the aims of this dissertation is to examine how Chun Qiu Jie Yi responds to the issues in the exegetical system of Chun Qiu.
In addition, Chun Qiu Jie Yi should be regarded as a work collaboratively written by Emperor Kangxi and his assembly of lecturers specializing in classics, known as rijiang officials. Since as early as the Song Dynasty, the jingyan rijiang officials have conferred upon themselves grand ideals and great duties, maintaining \ue2the greatest responsibilities of the country rest upon the shoulders of zaixiang (the prime minister) and jingyan: whereas the former is responsible for bringing order and peace to the country, the latter is held accountable for imparting morality and virtues to the sovereign.\ue2 In Qing, a dynasty characterized by the growing concentration of power in one individual, becoming the emperor\ue2s rijiang official virtually amounted to an opportunity of a lifetime, for it allowed scholars to mold the sovereign\ue2s thinking thoroughly over an extended period of time, thereby enabling them to realize their aspiration of bettering the world. Since Chun Qiu primarily concerns events in the political realm, it has lent itself to initiating and facilitating discussions of politics as the rijiang officials saw fit. Here, what demands attention is that, in the study, the monarch temporarily assumed the role of a student while his officials preached. Beyond the study, however, the hierarchy was resumed and the ruler-subject relationship was restored. Such alternation of the dual relationship is also an aspect worthy of further consideration in Chun Qiu Jie Yi. This dissertation intends to compare the exegetic works cited in Chun Qiu Jie Yi, in hopes of assessing the attainability of the rijiang officials\ue2 aspiration to act as the emperor\ue2s mentors.
The dissertation approaches Chun Qiu Jie Yi as a historical activity. Hence, it attempts to contextualize the anthology, to reconstruct the circumstances in which Kangxi and his rijiang officials undertook the explication of Chu Qiu, and to scrutinize their interpretive behaviors and the underlying ideologies as well as purposes. On the grounds of this premise, when discussing the hermeneutic activities in Chun Qiu Jie Yi, the dissertation aims to first point out the ideas the anthology conveys, highlighting its concerns about a sovereign\ue2s method of governing a country. Second, the dissertation shifts the focus from what the anthology is about to how Kangxi and his officials\ue2 viewpoints on political doctrines were articulated. It proceeds to analyze the hermeneutics as well as ensuing pitfalls of Chun Qiu Jie Yi, with the aim of calling attention to the similarities between the anthology\ue2s reading of Chun Qiu and the decoding activity that extends from the author (real or implied) to the reader (real or ideal) as proposed in the contemporary theory of narratology. Third, the dissertation zeroes in on the exegetic works cited in Chun Qiu Jie Yi in order to, on the one hand, investigate the anthology\ue2s response to and evasion of key issues accentuated by scholars of preceding dynasties and the history of Chu Qiu studies and, on the other hand, probe into the interrelationship between the exegesis of the classic and the political appropriation of such a literary classic as exemplified therein. Finally, the dissertation ventures to suggest that in the heart of the hermeneutics adopted in Chun Qiu Jie Yi lies a structure akin to a flower with multiple layers of petals\ue2a structure of thinking wherein the anthology strives to both establish its legitimacy in understanding the profound teachings of Confucius and canonize its interpretation as the paradigm their literary and political successors would consult. It concerns not only how traditional intellectuals approached an ancient classic but also how scholars of Han descent, in particular, consciously appropriated the classic to serve their roles as teachers for a foreign emperor in early Qing

A geometric construction of iterative functions of order three to solve nonlinear equations
No full textAbstractIn this paper we consider a geometric construction of iteration functions of order three to develop cubically convergent iterative methods for solving nonlinear equations. This construction can be applied to any iteration function of order two to develop an iteration function of order three. Some examples are given of deriving several third-order iteration methods, and several numerical results follow to illustrate the performance of the derived methods
