The nomenclature of the lycophyte species Phlegmariurus mingcheensis Ching (Huperziaceae)
No full textIn 1982, Ren Chang Ching twice described the same lycophyte species under the names Lycopodium mingcheense (published in April; the original "minchegense" spelling being a correctable error) and Phlegmariurus mingcheensis Ching (published in May). Phlegmariurus mingcheensis cannot be taken as a combination based on Lycopodium mingcheense because in the original publication a different holotype was indicated and the name Lycopodium mingcheense was not mentioned. The correct names for this species in Huperzia, Lycopodium, and Phlegmariurus are Huperzia mingcheensis (Ching) Holub (basionym: Phlegmariurus mingcheensis), Lycopodium mingcheense Ching, and Phlegmariurus mingcheensis Ching, respectively. The recent lectotypification of the name Lycopodium mingcheense using P.S. Chiu 2069 (PE) was redundant since this specimen was clearly indicated as the holotype in Ching's original publication. The recent new name Phlegmariurus mingjoui X.C. Zhang is an illegitimate superfluous name
An Analysis of <i>Judge Lin</i>
No full textBiography of Lin Wen Zhong Gong has another way to call, that is Judge Lin. The leading character is Lin Ze-Xu. This book is based on functionary experience of Lin Ze-Xu, with the captivating plots of court case, helping by highly skilled military attach\uc3\ua9s and chivalrous knights, and the history facts of Opium War. It makes Lin Ze-Xu\ue2s Confucian temperament and tragic mood more, also contrasts with author\ue2s sorrow and furiousness for the politics at the time. History, court case, martial arts\ue2\ua6\ue2\ua6etc. are essence of this book and it broadens the way of this writing style.
The topic of the thesis is \ue2An Analysis of Judge Lin\ue2. The following thesis will be divided into six different chapters. The introduction is Chapter one of the thesis, which is including researching motive and purpose, literature review of predecessors, researching version by existing information, raising questions, choosing research methods and arranging chapters. In chapter Two, I discuss the study of characters of Lin Ze-Xu, also makes a deep analysis of author\u27s purpose of writing him. In chapter Three, I analyze supporting actors and actress. Meanwhile, I illustrate author\u27s purpose of writing supporting actress because the author had different manner to describe supporting actress. Moving to the Chapter Four, I mainly focus on the plots of Judge Lin, and organize cases of Lin Ze-Xu and his subordinates to understand features of cases. In Chapter Five, I represent the causes of Opium War. China and England had difference of opinions of opium. Therefore, it is easier to comprehend what the author\u27s purpose is. In the last chapter I summarize the main points of the preceding chapters and confirm particularity of Judge Lin

Quadraticossus fangi Wang & Ren 2007
No full textQuadraticossus fangi Wang & Ren, 2007 (Fig. 3) 2007 Quadraticossus Wang Y & Ren, p. 41. figure 1 (A–F) Remarks. This species was erected based on both complete forewings and hind wings (Wang & Ren, 2007 a). After re-examining part and counterpart of the holotype, we have reconstructed the hind wing of Q. fangi (Fig. 3). Sc and R are similar to those of Q. eumorphus: Sc parallel with R at base, fused with R at point of origin of Rs, then confluent with R 1 + 2 for short interval, then extended to costal margin at indentation.Published as part of Wang, Ying, Wang, Lin & Ren, Dong, 2008, Revision of genera Quadraticossus, Martynovocossus and Fletcheriana (Insecta, Hemiptera) from the Middle Jurassic of China with description of a new species, pp. 56-64 in Zootaxa 1855 on page 59, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18352
Chao Yuen Ren (1892–1982)
No full textY. 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
Criniverticillus Lin, Yao & Ren 2018, gen. nov.
No full textGenus <i>Criniverticillus</i> Lin, Yao & Ren gen. nov. <p>http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:A5025B96-B712-418B-958C-FB3A91475B51</p> <p> <b>Type species.</b> <i>Criniverticillus longicumulus</i> Lin, Yao & Ren <b>sp. nov.</b></p> <p> <b>Diagnosis (macropterous male).</b> Body large (ca. 2 mm long, Fig. 1); antenna long (ca. 2.1–2.4 mm, Fig. 2F), most antennal setae forming distinct whorls, antennal apical segment with curved bristles (Fig. 2G); hamulohaltere leaf-shaped; basisternum without a median ridge (Fig. 2B); abdominal tergites well developed and sclerotized, first three tergites each with distinct median ridge (Fig. 2A); abdominal tergites VI and VII each with a transverse row of 7–9 tubular ducts (Fig. 2A) extruding wax filaments; a pair of short tubercular projections present on apex of abdominal segment VIII (Fig. 2 C).</p> <p> <b>Etymology.</b> The generic name <i>Criniverticillus</i> comes from combination of the prefix ‘ <i>crini-</i> ’ (from the Latin <i>crinis</i> meaning ‘hair’) with the masculine Latin noun ‘ <i>verticillus</i> ’ (meaning ‘whorl’), referring to most of the setae on the antenna forming whorls around the segments.</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> Koteja (2008) considered that the following extinct genera were xylococcid-like taxa: <i>Arnoldus</i> Koteja; <i>Grohnus</i> Koteja; <i>Lithuanicoccus</i> Koteja; <i>Serafinus</i> Koteja, and <i>Weitschatus</i> Koteja, and classified them in five families: Arnoldidae, Grohnidae, Lithuanicoccidae, Serafinidae and Weitschatidae respectively. After comparing key structures like antennal capitate setae; pterostigma on forewing; radial sector on forewing; hamulohaltere; basisternal median ridge; small caudal extension on tergite VIII; tarsal digitule; penial sheath; anterior margin of scutellum, and membranous lateral areas of scutellum, Vea & Grimaldi (2015) questioned this classification and considered that further analyses of relationships within the xylococcid-like taxa were needed. According to our observations, based on the body and wing shapes, antennae without specialised setae, subtriangular scutellum and waxy tail tufts of our adult male <i>Criniverticillus</i>, we think these genera are very similar to each other, and are inclined to support the latter authors’ point of view.</p> <p> Among the Xylococcid-like genera, records from the Cretaceous only comprise <i>Xiphos</i> Vea & Grimaldi (family placement uncertain) from the Early Cretaceous Lebanese amber and <i>Pseudoweitschatus</i> Vea & Grimaldi from the mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber; all other fossil records are from the Eocene Baltic amber. However, the morphological characters of <i>Xiphos</i> are very different from the other genera, such as: body small (ca. 1.45 mm long total); scutum with an oval membranous area; forewings each without anterior flexing patch; claw digitule absent, and penial sheath extremely elongate. The Xylococcid-like taxa therefore only have one important record (<i>Pseudoweitschatus</i>) from the Cretaceous. The new species described in this paper adds to the record of the Weitschatidae in the mid-Cretaceous and provides a significant new addition to the understanding the past diversity of scale insects.</p> <p> The new genus described herein is assigned to the family Weitschatidae based on the presence of the following features (contrasting conditions in the other fossil taxa/families are given in brackets): antennae without capitate setae (capitate setae present in <i>Arnoldus</i> (Arnoldidae)); radial sector of forewing absent (present in <i>Xylococcus</i> (Xylococcidae)); tarsal digitules undifferentiated (clavate in <i>Arnoldus</i> and <i>Xiphos</i>); membranous lateral areas of scutellum absent (present in <i>Grohnus</i> (Grohnidae) and <i>Xiphos</i>) and cubital ridge extending beyond middle of wing (cubital ridge very short, reaching posterior wing margin at 1/4 its length in <i>Serafinus</i> (Serafinidae)). In particular, the shape of the pterostigma in <i>Criniverticillus</i> is very similar to that of <i>Weitschatus</i> and <i>Pseudoweitschatus</i> (Weitschatidae) (absent in other Xylococcid-like taxa).</p> <p> <i>Criniverticillus</i> differs from the other two genera in Weitschatidae by the following combination of characters (contrasting conditions in the other taxa are given in brackets): antenna significantly longer, 2.10–2.40 mm in <i>Criniverticillus</i> (1.30–1.33 mm in <i>Pseudoweitschatus</i>); most setae on antenna forming distinct whorls (without whorls in <i>Weitschatus</i>); antennal apical segment with the short ‘curved bristles’ of Vea & Grimaldi (2015) (absent in <i>Weitschatus</i>); hamulohaltere leaf-shaped (bilobed in <i>Weitschatus</i>); first three abdominal tergites with distinct median ridge (median ridge absent in <i>Weitschatus</i> and <i>Pseudoweitschatus</i>); a single row of tubular ducts present on each of abdominal tergites VI and VII (2–4 rows of pores in <i>Weitschatus</i>), and the presence of a pair of short tubercular projections on the apex of abdominal segment VIII (absent in <i>Pseudoweitschatus</i>).</p>Published as part of <i>Lin, Shan, Yao, Yunzhi & Ren, Dong, 2018, A new scale insect of the extinct family Weitschatidae (Insecta: Hemiptera: Coccomorpha) from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber, pp. 427-434 in Zootaxa 4407 (3)</i> on pages 428-431, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4407.3.9, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/1216662">http://zenodo.org/record/1216662</a>
A Quantitative Study on Tao Te Ching Based on a Comparable Corpus
Get PDFThere were many Chinese scholars exploring the differences and translation strategies among different versions of translation of Tao Te Ching. The author selected four versions of translation of Tao Te Ching translated by Chinese translators Ren Jiyu and Lin yutang and English translator James Legge and Arthur Waley. By making comparable texts out of the four versions of translation, the author established a small specialized comparable corpus. And a quantitative study was carried out based on comparison and analysis of comparable texts. The study reveals the differences between Chinese translators and their English counterparts in terms of words and sentence pattern. Possible reasons for the differences are put forward for discussion and criticism in the future
