New meaning in traditional wedding dresses – Xiu He Fu and Long Feng Gua – in contemporary China / Li Yuling
No full textChinese traditional wedding dresses have a long history, they are auspicious symbols for Chinese women. Embroidered decorative and symbolic elements on wedding dresses, represent well wishes for marriage, such as lasting marriage, more sons, more happiness. Although the Western white wedding dress has crossed cultures and many modern Chinese women wear them on their wedding day, the traditional Chinese dresses have re-emerged at the end of the 20th and early 21st century.1 The Chinese traditional wedding dresses have recently become popular again in wedding ceremonies, especially the type of xiu he fu秀禾服 and long feng gua龙凤褂.2 However, this research argue that the traditional wedding dresses have changed in contemporary time, particularly the meaning of them for contemporary Chinese women are different. Because dresses in different situations will represent different identities. When the time, situation or context change, the representation also changes.
This study will investigate the new meaning found on these traditional wedding dresses. Iconological study of the symbols in history as well as the context of historical and contemporary traditional wedding dresses will be used to investigate the changes in Chinese gender and national identity. Much literatures record the images and context of symbolic patterns on Chinese folk dresses; also the symbolic meaning of embroidered patterns in the past have been recorded, for example, lotus/lian 莲 means purity. However, we do not have researches that specifically look at contemporary Chinese women's identities through the symbols on Chinese traditional wedding dresses. This research will study the embroidered decorations on contemporary traditional wedding dresses as more than superficial beautifying decorations, but as new symbolic representations of the contemporary Chinese women.
In a word, this research will relate the Chinese gender and national identity with representation of Chinese traditional wedding dresses in contemporary time. It is in order to analysis that the new meaning of Chinese traditional wedding dresses for women is to express their contemporary Chinese identity, this Chinese identity includes that “the Chinese” national identity and the gender identity of women being part of Chinese nation
Stabilities of Isomers of Phosphorus on Transition Metal Substrates
No full text© 2021 American Chemical Society.Great efforts have been dedicated to synthesizing phosphorene on transition metal surfaces, but there has been limited success until now. The strong interaction between phosphorus and the substrate may lead to many possible highly stable isomers of phosphorus, making the synthesis of phosphorene difficult. Here, we studied whether functionalizing transition metal surfaces by different phosphorous isomers can assist the epitaxial growth of blue phosphorene. Using density functional theory, we systematically explored five families of phosphorous isomers, blue phosphorene, modified blue phosphorene, surface phosphide, metal-phosphorus hybrid, and blue phosphorene on surface phosphide, on six different transition metal surfaces, Ag(111), Au(111), Cu(111), Co(0001), Ni(111), and Pt(111). It is found that blue phosphorene can be formed on less active transition metal surfaces, such as Ag(111) and Au(111), if the flux of phosphorus is sufficiently high. On more active transition metal surfaces, surface phosphides tend to form first and blue phosphorene may be formed on top of the surface phosphide. This study highlights the structural diversity of the transition metal surfaces in an active environment and provides guidance for the synthesis of phosphorene on transition metal surfaces.11Nsciescopu

The first protopsyllidiid (Hemiptera Sternorrhyncha) from the Upper Jurassic of Australia
No full textThe Protopsyllidiidae are an extinct group of plant-sucking hemipterans that were distributed worldwide. However, Jurassic and Cretaceous taxa have only been reported from the Northern Hemisphere. Here we describe and illustrate a new protopsylliidid, Talbragaropsyllidium averyi gen. et sp. nov., based on 11 well-preserved specimens from the Upper Jurassic Talbragar Fish Bed of New South Wales, Australia. These specimens represent the first Jurassic protopsyllidiid documented from both the Southern Hemisphere and Gondwana, which significantly extends the distributional and stratigraphical range of the family.
