    Fu Describing About the Author Himself: A Focus on Ban Gu "You tong fu"

    No full text
    From Later Han dynasty onwards, the number of fu describing about the author himself has increased. There are several possible reasons for this, but the most important reason is probably that there was no other genre through which one could express oneself except for fu in this period. For instance, the fiveword poetry was still in the middle way of establishing its own style at that moment. Moreover, in Former Han, there were few opportunities for authors to talk about themselves in detail in fu, because the main readers were emperors and kings of countries. In Later Han, the readers had become more diverse. That is probably the reason why more fu began to mention about the authors themselves in this period. Ban Gu (32-92), who is a representative scholar of Later Han and also a man of letters, expressed his aim by writing "You tong fu". Its main content is that though one's encounter with a disaster or felicity is not always derived from our behavior, we have to have a strong will and take action to overcome disasters. This idea is supported by Ban Gu's experiences of not attaining his aim. Such experiences are common in Chinese authors. One of the earliest examples is Chu Ci. Also, Chu Ci is the one of the origins of fu. It is surprising that authors expressed things about themselves mostly in fu describing journeys. It may be easier to understand this tendency if we think they substituted the heaven wander in Chu Ci with a ground journey. Chu Ci was a model for authors to express their aim which could not come true, even if the journey on the ground and the wander in heaven are different

    Online Iterative Adaptive Dynamic Programming Approach for Solving the Zero-Sum Game for Nonlinear Continuous-Time Systems with Partially Unknown Dynamics

    No full text
    The current study presents an online iterative adaptive dynamic programming approach to resolve the zero-sum game (ZSG) for nonlinear continuous-time (CT) systems containing a partially unknown dynamic. The Hamilton-Jacobian-Issacs (HJI) equation is solved along the state trajectory according to the value function approximation and the policy improvement online. Relaxed dynamic programming is utilized to ensure the algorithm’s convergence. Model and costate networks were established to conduct the method. Computational simulations are performed to present the efficiency of the algorithm.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Control & Simulatio

    Practical application of on-line partial discharge monitoring technique on 500kV shunt reactor

    No full text
    Considering the damage mechanism of oil-impregnated paper insulation in power transformers, shunt reactors and other high voltage electrical apparatus caused by partial discharge, a concept of “destructive partial discharge” is introduced in this paper. The intensity of this discharge is regarded as several thousands pico-coulomb (pC) and may cause the insulation a fatal damage. An oil-paper insulation is usually able to withstand this type of partial discharge for a period of time prior to failure. This provides engineers a time window to detect it. This paper describes an on-line partial discharge monitoring system for 500kV shunt reactors. The commission results from 3 single-phase shunt reactors either connected or disconnected to the grid showed that the on-line partial discharge detecting system has a high noise immunising ability. Two years later after the installation, a pre-warning signal was received from one shunt reactor indicating the existence of an intermittent discharge. The acoustic emission system located its position at the low end of the high voltage bushing in the oil. Dissolved gasses analysis (DGA) in the oil suggested the presence of partial discharge, as acetylene (C2H2) was as high as 20ppm. PD activity was further confirmed by a physical examination on the reactor

    Lu Yu and Tu Fu

    No full text
    Lu Yu 陸游 (1125-1209), the famous patriot poet of the Southern Sung, admired Tu Fu above all the poets of the past, and the deep influence which Tu Fu exercised on him may be seen throughout his work. In spite of this fact, however, there are many differences which mark the lives and works of the two men. As a first step towards a comparative study of the two poets, the author has attempted to discover how Lu Yu evaluated his predecessor, using evidence found in Lu Yu's poems themselves. By Lu Yu's time, Tu Fu was already widely recognized as the greatest Chinese poet. It had become a popular pastime to try to identify individual poems of Tu Fu on the basis of isolated phrases or couplets, or to compose poems made up of clever imitations of various couplets of Tu Fu. But Lu Yu, unlike most of his contemporaries, was less attracted by Tu Fu's poetic technique than by his poetic spirit, and regarded the latter as the most valuable lesson to be learned. He insisted that it was Tu Fu the man rather than Tu Fu the poet, Tu Fu the patriot rather than Tu Fu the artist, who deserved to be most highly admired. This was the foundation upon which Lu Yu's evaluation of Tu Fu rested, and the premise upon which he approached his work

    碩士一、研究目的: 本文擬從歷代賦學審美意識中,觀看宋初律賦的內容。包括破題、音律、對偶,以及影響宋初律賦主題的因素。 二、研究範圍: 時間上,由宋太祖趙匡胤陳橋兵變,建年號建隆元年(960)開始,歷太宗、真宗,至宋仁宗親政的明道元年(1032)止,作為本文時間的依據。 文本的選擇,此時期文士所撰寫的律賦,無論是應制之作、科舉考試之律賦,或是習作等,都是本文討論的範圍。然本文以單篇律賦為主,吳淑著《事類賦注》一百篇雖皆屬律賦,然因其為類書,且意義獨具,當另以專書論述。 依作者生年及登進士第的順序,參閱《現存宋人著述總錄》、《全宋文》、《歷代賦彙》,共錄律賦一百一十六篇。 三、研究方法: 律賦常為後人所詬病,筆者由傳統賦學的審美觀,自漢賦、曹丕《典論‧論文》、陸機《文賦》、鍾嶸《詩品》,賦的審美意識皆與各時代的文風及流行文體或政治風氣有所相涉,至劉勰《文心雕龍‧詮賦》篇,將賦體的特色獨立,也確立了名為賦體所該擁有的價值。 將傳統的審美意識帶入律賦中,探討宋初律賦是否合乎賦的標準,便是本文所著重的。其次則是在宋代初年的政治風氣及文學風氣中,律賦何以成為科舉考試之要項。本文將由演繹方式,例舉代表宋初律賦之作家,羅列以證宋初律賦之特色。 四、研究結論: 筆者認為律賦之美,不僅是因其題下限韻,因難而巧。更難能可貴的是律賦的破題、對偶及音律之美,讀之錯落有致,更添美感。希望本文可作為拋磚引玉之效,使律賦復其文學之地位,也可由本文得知宋初律賦與唐代及後世律賦的獨特之處。Abstract: The purpose of the study: This study is trying to analyze the content of Lu Fu in the early Song dynasty, including its introductory, rhythm, symmetry and the theme of the verse. The scope of the study: The research materials are selected within four kingdoms period, Emperor Taizu, Emperor Taizong, Emperor Zhenzong and Emperor Renzong, from 960 B.C. to 1032 B.C.; and the contents are chosen from imperial examinations in former times and personal practice writing. Although this study is focusing on independent Fu, Shi Lei Fu Ju, a very important work, written by Shu Wu is a tool book consisting a hundred correlated Fu which can not be left out when discussing Fu in this study. Total 116 Fu are picked in this study and according to Comprehensive Index of Extant Works by Song Persons, Chuan Song Wen and Li Dai Fu Lu, those pomes are listing by year of author’s birth or year that a author success in the highest imperial examinations. Methodology: This study makes generality comments on Lu Fu in Early Song dynasty based on traditional aesthetic and literary criticism book, for example Han Fu, A Discourse on Literature by Pi Cao, Wen Fu by Ji Lu and Shi Ping by Ron Chung. The aesthetic on Fu was changing by the literature trend and the political situation in different dynasty. Until the first work of aesthetics and also the first systematic work of literary criticism, The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragon by Xie Liu, Fu formed a unique characteristic and style of its own and became a major poetic genre. Comparing to the former aesthetic views to look for if Lu Fu match to the traditional criterion is the key emphasis in this study. The second, this study is trying to find out why Lu fu became a main stream in the imperial examination in the Song dynasty. This research using the approach of natural deduction, brining up several famous writers to proof the magnificent features of Lu Fu. Conclusion: The limitation of rhyme scheme makes Lu fu very difficult to compose, but the perplexity of Lu Fu brings out the true beauty within the verse. Furthermore, when reading a Lu Fu, readers can appreciate the beautiful introductory, symmetry and rhyming pattern of it. Hoping through study, Lu Fu can be rehabilitated its reputation and status in Chinese literature history.目錄 第一章 緒論 1 第一節 研究動機 2 第二節 研究範圍 4 一、宋初律賦文本 7 二、宋初律賦作者 13 (一)、田錫 14 (二)、王禹偁 14 (三)、王曾 14 (四)、夏竦 15 (五)、范仲淹 15 (六)、宋庠 15 (七)、宋祁 15 (八)、文彥博 16 三、宋初考試制度相關資料 16 第三節 研究方法 21 第二章 賦的功能與審美要求 23 第一節 賦的功能 23 第二節 賦的審美要求 29 一、鋪采摛文 30 二、體物寫志 33 三、音律流麗 39 第三節 結語 42 第三章 律賦的形成及發展 44 第一節 律賦「新體」的特徵 44 第二節 律賦的句式 47 第三節 律賦之用韻 52 第四節 律賦之使事 56 第五節 律賦遭詬病的原因 60 第六節 結語 63 第四章 宋初律賦的特色 65 第一節 宋人賦論 66 第二節 律賦章法 72 第三節 律賦押韻 77 第四節 律賦的對偶與使事 80 第五節 結語 82 第五章 宋初律賦的內容 84 第一節 宋初律賦的內涵 84 一、田錫 84 二、王禹偁 86 三、夏竦 87 四、范仲淹 89 五、宋庠、宋祁 92 六、文彥博 93 第二節 宋初律賦的題材 94 第三節 影響律賦主題的因素 99 一、矛盾與沉潛 100 二、儒學的復興 104 三、釋道的交融 112 第四節 結語 116 第六章 結論 118 參考文獻 121學號: 695010305, 學年度: 9

    Polynomization of the Chern–Fu–Tang conjecture

    No full text
    Bessenrodt and Ono’s work on additive and multiplicative properties of the partition function and DeSalvo and Pak’s paper on the log-concavity of the partition function have generated many beautiful theorems and conjectures. In January 2020, the first author gave a lecture at the MPIM in Bonn on a conjecture of Chern–Fu–Tang, and presented an extension (joint work with Neuhauser) involving polynomials. Partial results have been announced. Bringmann, Kane, Rolen, and Tripp provided complete proof of the Chern–Fu–Tang conjecture, following advice from Ono to utilize a recently provided exact formula for the fractional partition functions. They also proved a large proportion of Heim–Neuhauser’s conjecture, which is the polynomization of Chern–Fu–Tang’s conjecture. We prove several cases, not covered by Bringmann et. al. Finally, we lay out a general approach for proving the conjecture
