維新百日出亡十六年三週大地遊遍四洲經三十一國行六十萬哩Kang Youwei (1858-1927, alternative name Zuyi, 祖詒; Guangxia, 廣廈; Gengsheng, 更生; Changsu, 長素) is a native of Nanhai, Guangdong province. He passed the national exam and earned the jinshi degree in 1895 during the Guangxu reign. He was known for his calligraphy and political ideology. Realizing the challenging issues the late Qing court encountered, Kang Youwei led a movement that tried to establish a constitutional monarchy, similar to the British political system. Supported by the emperor Guangxu, Kang Youwei, along with his famed student, Liang Qichao, launched the Hundred Days’ Reform in 1898. But the Dowager Empress suppressed this reform and ordered Kang Youwei to be executed. Kang had to flee to Japan where he continued promoting his political ideas. After the Qing dynasty fell and Sun Zhongshan established the Republic of China, Kang Youwei still wished to put his idea for a constitutional monarchy into practice. He published Kongzi gaizhi kao, Xinxue weijing kao, and Datong shu to express his political views.
Kang Youwei’s most influential publication on calligraphy is Guang yizhou shuangji. Based on the ideas of Bao Shichen and Ruan Yuan (1764-1849), Kang Youwei promoted the importance and significance of the stele school by surveying Qing calligraphy works. His own calligraphy reflects his study on stele writings from Northern Dynasties, expressing strength of brush and ink as in this pair scrolls.
Kang Youwei wrote this couplet for his friend Weihe. The poem, “Mountains and rivers contain virtue, wind and clouds embrace aspirations,” seems very powerful because of the bold, and sometime dry brushes. For example, the first two characters on the right scroll, wind (feng) and cloud (yun), present the motion of nature by moving the strokes freely with both wet and dry brushes. These running scripts combine the characteristic of clerical script, in which all the characters are composed steadily and firmly. Although the composition of each character looks very open at the first glance, the internal structure is built tightly. With both round and square stroke endings, the entire piece creates a balance between power and conservation.

Study on Solar KANG Heating System for Cold Areas
No full textAbstractThe current rural traditional heated kang cannot meet people's increasing requirements of comfort and environmental protection. This paper propose solar kang heating system in cold regions. System performance and heating effect were analyzed. We selected two typical rooms. One was set in traditional kang, and the other one was solar Kang type. Using temperature recording instrument and 64 roads inspection instrument and other instruments, we test the indoor temperature and the kang surface temperature of two rooms. Solar kang thermal resistance, heat storage, heat dissipation and heating effect were analyzed and compared. The results of the study show this system have the smaller fluctuation, more comfort while alleviating the kang surface overheat or super-cooling problem. It satisfied the requirements of indoor thermal comfort. The warming rate is 5.17°C/h, and the cooling rate is 3.01°C/h. These are slower than traditional Huokang speed. It improved the heat storage capacity of kang body with surface heat dissipation 1237W. Average temperature of the solar kang heating room was improved 3.28°C. It gets the smaller indoor temperature fluctuation. PMV values are concentrated about -0.5, and this basically meet the requirements of the user comfort
Main motifs in the prose of the leftist author Kang Kyŏng-ae
Full text linkThe subject of this bachelor thesis is the life and work of the Korean writer Kang Kyǒng-ae, with a focus on her short prose. The aim of this thesis is an analysis of two works - Salt and Darkness - with attention to the context of the author's time. Nowadays, Kang Kyǒng-ae is considered a significant author of the 1930s and her works reflect the phenomenon of Korean emigrants in Manchuria. For a long time, leftist tendencies caused her prose to be neglected, which resulted in a considerably limited number of studies concerned with her work, in comparison to the number of studies about other writers. There are virtually no Czech studies of her work. The text of the thesis initially presents the timeframe of Kang's authorship and then analyzes select works of hers. The analysis of the works focuses on recurring motifs, which are put into a historical and social context. Keywords Kang Kyǒng-ae, Korean 1930s literature, leftist literature, Sogǔm, Ǒdu
