    [[abstract]]  針對從書法判斷敦煌未紀年寫卷年代的問題,本文就北魏平城時期敦煌寫經書法之點畫、結體、章法分析、歸納後,對疑似北魏早期的寫卷進行考探,除驗證斷代的可行性外,更探討北魏平城時期敦煌寫經書法在書法史上的意義。    本論文共分七章:第一章說明研究動機與目的,界定研究範圍與方法,並對前人有關的研究作述評;第二章概述北魏平城時期主要楷書載體;第三至五章,就各寫經之點畫、結體和章法作傾向與共同傾向的分析和歸納;第六章在實際考探三卷敦煌寫卷後,探討了北魏平城時期敦煌寫經書法的意義;第七章為結論,除確認運用書法作為判斷未紀年敦煌寫卷的可行性外,並認為北魏平城時期敦煌寫經書法在書法史上所含「手寫墨跡具現點畫姿態」、「寫經書法管窺文化雜揉」、「經生字跡得見雅俗相通」的意義是值得重視的。[[abstract]]  To those examination Handwrittens of Dun-Huang not writing down times , how should come to judge their question of times from the calligraphy, among stipple、structure、composition that this text pays attention to the calligraphies of Scripture-Writing of Dun-Huang of Ping-Cheng(平城) period in Bei-Wei (北魏)Dynasty at first, analyse and after summing up , it is investigated and explored to suspected to be the early Handwrittens in Bei-Wei Dynasty and then , besides verifying the feasibility of division of history into periods, probe into the callidraphies of Scripture-Writing of Dun-Huang of Ping-Cheng period in Bei-Wei Dynasty, the meaning in the history of calligraphy even more.   This thesis divides into seven chapters altogether, chapter one states research motive and purpose, establish research range and method , and explain and criticize the researcher's relevant research of before; Chapter two outline the standard script of Ping-Cheng period in Bei-Wei Dynasty; From the third to five chapters, among stipple、structure、composition analysis that is inclined to and inclined to togethering and summing up on every Handwrittens; Chapter six, after taking an exam of three Dunhuang′s Handwrittens,and probe into the callidraphies of Scripture-Writing of Dun-Huang of Ping-Cheng period in Bei-Wei Dynasty′s meaning;Chapter seven a conclusion, besides confirming using calligraphies as the feasibility of judging the Handwrittens of Dun-Huang not writing down times , and think the calligraphies of Scripture-Writing of Dun-Huang of Ping-Cheng period in Bei-Wei Dynasty in the history of calligraphy , the「Shou Xie Mo Ji Ju Xian Dian Hua Zi Tai(手寫墨跡具現點畫姿態)」、「Xie Jing Shu Fa Guan Kui Wen Hua Za Rou(寫經書法管窺文化雜揉)」、「Jing Sheng Zi Ji De Jian Ya Su Xiang Tong(經生字跡得見雅俗相通)」meanings included are worth paying attention to

    The politics of fashion: perceptions of power in female clothing and ornamentation as reflected in the sixteenth-century Chinese novel Jin Ping Mei

    No full text
    This thesis examines issues of female power and influence in sixteenth-century China focusing on how women and their roles were perceived in the changing social environment of the mid-late Ming dynasty. Using aspects of a New Historicist approach, information from contemporary literary and historical sources are analysed alongside each other. With its emphasis on the lives of women and preoccupation with the description of material objects, the late Ming novel Jin Ping Mei forms an important element in the thesis. China in the sixteenth century saw expanding urbanisation, the emergence of a new wealthy merchant class, increasing visibility of women and a questioning of traditional morality. Fashion consciousness, as one of the most conspicuous aspects of the new material culture, is a possible indicator of these trends. Traditional Western theories contend that fashion began in the particular context of Renaissance Europe. However, this study argues that a similar fashion awareness existed in China too, and was manifested in a competitive striving for social status, in this case specifically among women. In contrast to previous studies which downplayed the impact women had on defining traditional Chinese culture, this thesis demonstrates how women and their sartorial choices began to redefine the boundaries of material culture, influencing literati discourse which, in turn, re- influenced female behaviour

    Financial matchmakers in credit markets with heterogeneous borrowers

    No full text
    What happens when liquidity increases in credit markets and more funds are channeled from borrowers to lenders? We examine this question in a general equilibrium model where financial matchmakers help borrowers (firms) and lenders (households) search out and negotiate profitable matches and where the composition of heterogeneous borrowers adjusts to satisfy equilibrium entry conditions. We find that enhanced liquidity causes entry by all borrowers and tends to benefit low-quality borrowers disproportionately. However, liquid credit markets may or may not be associated with higher output and welfare. The result is determined by whether the effect of higher market participation outweighs that of lower average quality. The net effect depends crucially on the source of the liquidity shock (financial matching efficacy, productivity, or entry barriers).Game theory ; Financial markets ; Liquidity (Economics)

    An Economy-wide Analysis of Impacts of WTO Tiered Formula for Tariff Reduction on Taiwan

    No full text
    In this study we use Taiwan as a case study to provide an economy-wide analysis of impacts on Taiwan of WTO tariff reduction schemes with different combinations of thresholds and reduction rates. The model we utilized in this study is Taiwan General Equilibrium Model with a WTO module (TAIGEM-WTO, hereafter) that is a multi-sectoral computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of the Taiwan's economy derived from Australian ORANI model (Dixon, Parmenter, Sutton and Vincent, 1982). Simulation results show that results are more sensitive to the scheme of tariff-reduction (i.e., Category 1, 2, and 3) than the tiered levels (i.e., A, B, C, and D) and as a strategy we should pay more attention to the arguments related to the amounts of tariff-reduction. Moreover, changes in nominal average tariff rates are more sensitive and shocks to the economy are more severe when we change the tariff reduction categories rather than the tiered levels. This conclusion also applies to the tiered reduction case when only sensitive products are considered. Finally, simulations with sector's bound rate calculated using arithmetic means have bigger effects than those using import values as weights. Therefore, sector's bound rate using import values as weights would be preferred.International Relations/Trade,
