Wang Shuo and the commercialisation of contemporary Chinese culture
No full textThis thesis examines the commercialisation of Chinese culture that has taken place over the past twenty years in mainland China. It explores the contribution of Wang Shuo, a cultural figure who straddles different fields of culture, moving from literature to the ultimate mass culture medium of television, this study plots Wang Shuo' s development from educational failure, to business failure, to fiction writer, film & TV editor, film director and cultural critic and analyst. His stories, films, TV series and articles have caused shock-waves throughout national cultural circles as he has transformed the terms of the debate from academic discourse to a validation of the role of the market in the culture field. Although Wang Shuo has not been labelled as a dissident, his approach to the culture market has had a more subversive effect on official ideology that those overt dissidents who have had to live in exile or have been imprisoned. He has utilised the language of official ideology to satirise the authorities, turning the ideology and its supporters into figures of fun. Yet his own goals have been strictly personal and economic ones. The authorities recognize the value of Wang Shuo's work in the cultural market but at the same time distrust his works and place him under strict censorship. Examining the way Wang Shuo and people surround him have succeeded in different fields of cultural achievement is a mirror to understanding the process of the transformation of contemporary Chinese culture from a socialist state-controlled culture to a market-oriented mass culture industry
Wang Meng and contemporary Chinese literature: the vicissitudes of a committed writer
No full textThis thesis examines the way Wang Meng has developed as a writer from the 1950s to the 1990s in the context of New China's political and literary background. It looks at the compromises he was forced to make between his political beliefs in the Communist Party and his chosen role as a professional writer. After his disastrous early foray into what was deemed to be unacceptable political criticism with The Young Newcomer in the Organisation Department in the 1950s, when the opportunity came to start publishing again in the late 1970s he was boldly innovative in style, helping to transform New Period literature, but conservative in content, sticking to politically acceptable topics. It was only with Hard Porridge in 1989 that he ventured again, and very successfully, into political comment. There is no outstanding leading writer in contemporary China, but Wang Meng is a leading contender for the title
Smilax austrosinensis F. T. Wang & Tang 1934
No full textSmilax austrosinensis F.T. Wang & Tang (1934: 423). Type:— CHINA. Chongqing [Szechuan]: Nanchuan, Mt. Jinfo [Chinfu Shan], elev. ca. 1800 m, 27 May 1928, W. P. Fang 1099 (holotype PE00035146; isotypes A00030078, PE00034188). A paratype in CQNM: CHINA. Sichuan: Mt. Emei, elev. ca. 1700 m, 7 July 1931, F. T . Wang 23243 (CQNM0006992, PE00432616). = Smilax lanceifolia var. elongata (Warb. in Diels 1900: 259) F.T.Wang & Tang in Wang et al. (1978: 220). Note:— Wang & Tang (1934) designated W. P. Fang 1099 as the type in the protologue without specifying the herbarium. For the above traced three duplicates of this gathering, only PE00035146 bears the handwriting annotation “ Smilax austrosinensis Wang et Tang, sp. nov. ” determined by Wang & Tang in May 1934. It is inferred that it is the only specimen Wang & Tang (1934) based when preparing the description of this name and it is the holotype, which is contrary to Lin & Yang (2015a), who considered that PE00034188 is the holotype. Though it contains more complete morphological characters, PE00034188 has handwriting of different style for the annotation “ Smilax austrosinensis Wang et Tang ” and determined in October 1934 on a label printed as “EMENDANDA”, which means a letter handwriting annotation and this specimen should be an isotype.Published as part of Chen, Feng & He, Hai, 2022, The historical relics in Chongqing Natural History Museum: An annotated checklist of original materials for 37 names of Chinese seed plants, pp. 38-52 in Phytotaxa 530 (1) on page 45, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.530.1.3, http://zenodo.org/record/582393

Isotopic dependence of residual zonal flows
No full textWe identify an isotopic dependence of residual zonal flows from an analytic calculation. While the well-known Rosenbluth-Hinton residual zonal flows with radial scale greater than the magnetically trapped ion radial width rho(bi) have no isotopic dependence (Rosenbluth and Hinton 1998 Phys. Rev. Lett. 80 724), we find that shorter radial scale (shorter than rho(bi), but larger than the magnetically trapped electron radial width rho(be)) residual zonal flows (Wang and Hahm 2009 Phys. Plasmas 16 062309) exhibit isotopic dependence. These finer scale zonal flows in deuterium (D) plasmas can be stronger than those of hydrogen (H) plasmas, and possibly lead to lower turbulence and transport and better confinement in qualitative agreement with experimental results

Type locality: China, Hainan, Qiongzhong Hsien, Limu Mt., 19°10'04"N, 109°44'45"E, 625 m. Additional material examined. 2 ƋƋ, labeled ‘ CHINA: W. Jiangxi, Ji’an City, Jinggang Shan (井冈山), Bijia Shan (笔架山), 26°31'03"N, 114°11'17"E, mixed leaf litter, sifted, 580 m, 24.vii.2014, Chen, Hu, Lv & Yu leg.’ (SNUC). Comments. The glabrous body (Fig. 7 A), obliquely narrowed abdomen at base, distinctly concaved protibiae (Fig. 14 F), presence of small ventral protuberance at the middle of profemora (Fig. 14 I), and the form of aedeagus (Figs 13 D–F) of the population from Jiangxi readily lead its identity to B. tibialis. The differences in the forms of the protibial cavity and aedeagal endophallus between the populations from Hainan (Fig. 7 B) and Jiangxi is considered intraspecific variation of this species. Measurements of the population from Jiangxi: BL 1.93 mm, HL 0.42 mm, HW 0.43 mm, PL 0.38 mm, PW 0.42 mm, EL 0.53 mm, EW 0.72 mm, AL 0.60 mm, AW 0.69 mm, mm, width between discal carinae of tergite IV 0.30 mm at apices, length of the aedeagus 0.24 mm.

No full textSulcolotis threadis Liu & Wang sp. nov. (Figs 1a–l) Diagnosis. This species can be easily separated from S. seminigra by the following characters: elytron yellow, with a large black spot situated at 1/3 elytral length to base. In S. seminigra, elytra are black in basal half and yellow in apical half, without dark spots. It is also similar to S. ovalis but can be separated from the latter by the bright yellow head and penis guide nearly as long as parameres. In S. ovalis, head is reddish brown and penis guide shorter than parameres. Description. TL: 2.73–3.07mm, TW: 2.30–2.52mm, TH: 1.51–1.56mm, TL/TW: 1.19–1.22, PL/PW: 0.26–0.29, EL/EW: 0.88–0.89, HW/PW: 0.56–0.63, PW/TW: 0.63–0.66, HW/TW: 0.38–0.40, Eye W/HW: 0.54–0.59. Head yellow. Pronotum, scutellar shield, and elytra bright yellow, with small dense punctures. Underside yellowish brown, except metaventrite and the middle part of the first ventrite blackish brown. Body rounded, weakly convex, dosally shiny and glabrous (Figs 2a–c). Head 0.39 times of elytral width (HW/ TW=1:2.6). Eyes finely faceted interocular distance 0.57 times of head width. Frons broad with punctures uniform and dense (Fig. 2c). Pronotum 0.65 times of elytral width (PW/TW=1:1.5), moderately transverse, punctures uniform (Figs 2a, c). Elytra with uniform and dense punctures (Figs 2a–c). Ventrite 6 of posterior margin at middle slightly concave and ventrite 7 subtrianglar (Fig. 2g). Male genitalia (Figs 2d–f): penis long and slender, apex pointed, penis capsule with inner arm reduced and outer arm well developed; tegmen with penis guide as long as parameres, in lateral view stout, widest at base, gradually narrowing to a pointed apex. Type material. Holotype: ♂, Philippines, Baguio, Benguet, Baker (USNM). Paratypes: 6♀, same data as holotype (USNM, ANIC); 1♂ 4♀, Philippines, Luzon– Benguet LaTrinidadv. 1914, G.Boellcher 6500’ (MNHB); 1♀, Philippines 1600m, Mindanao, 30 km W of MARAMAG, 28–30. Dec. Bolm 1gt. 1990 (BNHM). Distribution. Philippines (Mindanao, Luzon). Etymology.
