    "When did you start to forget? Is it possible not to start to forget? over no things is a poetic visual approach to the passage of time and the melancholic nostalgia of aging. With meditative contemplation, the experience of cinematic time is decelerated and romanticized through slow moving frames and minimalist still tableaux. An emotive piece which communicates through absence." -- DVD's back cover

    Y. R. Chao is easily the most famous linguist to have come out of China. Born before the end of the last dynasty in China, he received a traditional Confucian education, but was also one of the first Chinese people to be sent to the West for training in modern Western science (under the Boxer Indemnity Fund). The remarkable breadth and scope of his studies included physics, mathematics, linguistics, musical and literary composition, and translation, and he was a pioneer in many of these fields

    The Relationships between the Shih-huo-chih in the Sung-chao kuo-shih and the Shih-huo-chih in the Sung-shi

    Full text link
    During the Sung dynasty many versions of the national history were compiled. All these national histories included a chapter called Shih-huo-chih 食貨志. These versions of the Shih-huo-chih are not extant now in their original form, but fragments of them have been included in such books as the Sung-shih Shih-huo-chih 宋史食貨志, the Hsü Tzŭ-chih-t’ung-chien ch’ang-pien 續資治通鑑長編, the Wên-hsien t’ung-k’ao 文獻通考, the Yü-hai 玉海, the Huang-chao pien-nien kang-mu pei-yao 皇朝編年綱目備耍, and the Shang-t’ang ch’ün-shu k’ao-so 山堂群書考索. The original form of the Shih-huo-chih, therefore, can be traced to some extent. Among the above works, the preface to the Shih-huo-chih in the Sung-shih states that, though the chapter was based on the Shih-huo-chih in the Sung-chao kuo-shih 宋朝國史, the quotation was limited only to the facts worth quoting because otherwise the chapter would become too voluminous. Comparing, however, the chapter of the Sung-chao kuo-shih with the similar chapters of the above works, the Sung-shih Shih-huo-chih seems to have borrowed in its entirety this chapter in the Sung-chao kuo-shih. In other words, although the Sung-shih Shih-huo-chih is mostly based on the Shih-huo-chih in the Sung-chao kuo-shih, such chapters as the fang-t’ien 方田 were newly added, and the description of the Sung-chao kuo-shih is sometimes corrected or illustrated by new facts. Moreover, for the period after Li-tsung 理宗 at the end of the Southern Sung (1225~1279), the Sung-shih Shih-huo-chih has a unique description because the corresponding part of the Sung-chao kuo-shih is lacking.The author then compares the text of the Sung-shih Shih-huo-chih with that of the above books for the purpose of restoring the original form of the Shih-huo-chih in the Sung-chao kuo-shih. The Hsü Tzŭ-chih t’ung-chien ch’ang-pien not only quotes the Sung-chao kuo-shih most extensively but also exhaustively corrects its errors of the latter. The Wên-hsien t’ung-k’ao also greatly depends upon the Sung-chao kuo-shih without indicating the source, while the Yü-hai, indicating the source, borrows some passages. The Shan-t’ang ch’ün-shu k’ao-so quotes the sections covering the reigns of Chê-tsung 哲宗 and Hui-tsung 徽宗in the Sung-chao kuo-shih which are not clearly recorded in the other books. The Huang-chao pien-nien kang-mu pei-yao quotes, mostly in its notes, the description from the Sung-chao kuo-shih without indicating the source.Thus the Shih-huo-chih in the Sung-chao kuo-shih remains in the form of various versions quoted in other works and from these the author endeavors to restore part of the text of the Shih-huo-chih in the Sung-chao kuo-shih.journal articl

Etymology Named for its occurrence in Taiwan, avoiding homonymy with earlier names in Bombus of formosanus, formosellus, formosulus and formosus. Diagnosis A predominantly black, orange-tailed bumblebee from Taiwan (Figure 1). Within the hypnorum complex distinguished by (Figure 1): female and male with the front, middle and hind leg basitarsi all with the integument lighter brown than the tibiae (vs darker like the rest of the body for B. hypnorum); hair (pubescence) of the metasoma with all of terga 4‒6 a pale but dull sandy brown or very pale orange (vs white for B. hypnorum). Female clypeus in the half nearest to the labrum smooth and shining with only a few large punctures, mostly spaced by much more than their own widths (Figure 2) (vs large punctures often separated by only their own widths for B. hypnorum). Male genitalia with the gonostylus inner anterior (basal) projection separated from the gonocoxa by less than the breadth of the recurved hook of the penis-valve head (vs separated by much more than the breadth of the recurved hook of the penis-valve head for B. hypnorum). Description Female habitus illustrated in Figure 1, body size small (worker body length 10‒12 mm), hair (pubescence) moderately long, wings nearly clear. Mandible with the distal notch anterior to the posterior tooth (incisura) very shallow and hardly marked. Oculo-malar area (‘cheek’ sensu Williams et al. 2014; not the gena) of medium length, 1.0× longer (length measured between the ventral edge of the compound eye and the edge of the malar area at the articulation of the mandible midway between the mandibular condyles) than the breadth of the mandible at its base (breadth between and including the mandibular condyles). Clypeus weakly swollen (Figure 2), its raised area nearly flat, the central area with few widely scattered large and medium punctures, few punctures especially medially and ventrally adjacent to the labrum. The area between the inner edge of the compound eye and the outer edge of the lateral ocellus occupied in just over its outer third by a broad band with a few mostly large punctures, spaced by more than their own widths, the smaller punctures between the larger punctures very few. Mid basitarsus with the distal posterior corner broadly rounded; hind tibia outer surface with a corbicula, the surface sculpturing weakly reticulate so that the surface appears slightly matt; hind basitarsus in the distal three-quarters covered with short branched decumbent and weakly overlapping hairs with golden reflections; tergum 6 posteriorly rounded and not divided medially, with a small subapical dorsal boss. Colour pattern of the hair of the body predominantly brownish black. Head entirely black except for orange hairs anteriorly on the labrum and laterally on the mandibles. Thoracic dorsum anterior to the wing bases with paler but dark sandy brown hair intermixed, this paler hair extending down the side of the thorax anteriorly, and on the scutellum posteriorly; the front, middle and hind leg tibiae all with some hairs orange, the basitarsi all with the integument lighter brown than the tibiae and with more orange hairs. Hair of the metasoma with tergum 3 posteriorly and all of terga 4‒6 a pale but dull sandy brown or very pale orange. Male body size small (body length 12 mm), hair (pubescence) moderately long, wings nearly clear. Colour pattern of the hair of the body predominantly dark brownish, almost black. Head and the thoracic dorsum anterior to the wing bases with paler but dull sandy brown hair intermixed, this pale hair covering the side of the thorax (mesepisternum), and on most of the scutellum; the front, middle and hind leg tibiae all with the long hairs orange, the basitarsi all with the integument lighter brown than the tibiae and with the long hairs orange. Hair of the metasoma with tergum 1 and all of terga 4‒7 a pale but dull sandy-brown or very pale orange. Male genitalia with the gonostylus nearly triangular, the inner anterior (basal) projection separated from the gonocoxa by less than the breadth of the recurved hook of the penis-valve head; the volsella scarcely projecting beyond the gonostylus; the penis valve with the head recurved as a flattened sickle-shaped hook that is not strongly tapered. Distribution Endemic to the mountains of Hsinchu, Nantou and Hualien counties, central Taiwan, at elevations of 2300‒3100 m.Published as part of Williams, Paul H., Sung, I-Hsin, Lin, Yi-Jing & Lu, Sheng-Shan, 2022, Discovering endemic species among the bumblebees of Taiwan (Apidae, genus Bombus), pp. 435-447 in Journal of Natural History 56 (5 - 8) on pages 438-442, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2022.2052991, http://zenodo.org/record/680972
