Wang Shuo and the commercialisation of contemporary Chinese culture
Full text linkThis 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
Full text linkThis 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

Meleonoma puncticulata Wang 2020
No full textThe puncticulata species-group Diagnosis. Forewing length 4.8–8.0 mm, with the ratio of length to maximum width 2.8 to 3.2. Moths of the puncticulata species-group share a yellow forewing covered with dark scales or a greyish-brown forewing that usually has a discal, discocellular and plical dots; in the male genitalia, the uncus is sub-triangular, club-shaped, or long and spine-shaped, the gnathos is absent or only sclerotized laterally when present, and the sacculus is separated from the valva or only free distally. No significant characters are found in the female genitalia that can separate species of this group from those of the other species-groups. The puncticulata species-group includes six known species: M. conica Wang, 2020 (In Zhu et al., 2020), M. leishana (Wang, 2006) (Wang 2006b), M. puncticulata Wang, 2020 (In Zhu et al. 2020), M. pultschukella Lvovsky, 2019, M. robustispina Wang, 2020 (In Zhu et al. 2020) and M. sticta (Wang, 2006) (Wang 2006a). We describe eight new species from China below.Published as part of Zhu, Xiaoju & Wang, Shuxia, 2022, Taxonomy of the genus Meleonoma Meyrick, 1914 (Lepidoptera: Autostichidae) from China (IV), with descriptions of twelve new species, pp. 501-521 in Zootaxa 5087 (4) on page 509, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5087.4.1, http://zenodo.org/record/583279
Arna bicostata Wang, Wang & Fan, sp. nov.
No full textArna bicostata Wang, Wang & Fan sp. nov. (Figs. 3–4, 28, 42) Diagnosis. Forewing length 10–14 mm. Forewing yellow, with two pale transverse lines medially; hindwing pale yellow. Description. Male and female. Vertex covered with pale yellow scales. Labial palpus short, upturned. Thorax and tegulae yellow. Forewing yellow, with a deep yellow band between two pale transverse lines medially, the band shaded grey in some specimens; venation with R 2, R 3, R 4 and R 5 stalked, R 2 branching off more distally than R 5, M 1 arising from upper angle of distal cell, M 3 from under angle of distal cell, M 2, M 3 and CuA 1 isolated, CuA 1 parallel to CuA 2. Hindwing paler yellow; venation with Rs stalked with M 1 at basal 1 / 4, M 2 arising from near under angle of distal cell, M 3 and CuA 1 short stalked. Male genitalia (Fig. 28): Uncus broad, apically divided in the dorso-ventral plane, triangular at apex of dorsal part; valva narrowed from apex of sacculus to costa; saccus small; aedeagus straight. Female genitalia (Fig. 42): Apophysis anterioris almost as long as apophysis posterioris, but thicker than the latter; ostium U-shaped; base of ductus inflated, lightly sclerotized; signum absent. Type material: Holotype: 3, Nanling National Nature Reserve, Guangdong, 7.V. 2009, leg. H.S. Wang. Paratypes: 4 3, 2 Ƥ, same data as the holotype; 2 3, same locality, 1.VI. 2006, leg. L.S. Chen, M. Wang. Distribution. China (Guangdong). Etymology. The specific name is derived from Latin, “bicostatus,” referring to the forewing with two pale lines medially. Remarks. The genus Arna Walker was reviewed by Holloway (1999) who reported 12 species. A Chinese species Euproctis pentamaculata described by Chao (1984) should also belong to this genus according to the male genitalia illustrated in his Fig. 230, along with A. pseudoconspersa (Strand) and the new species. As a result, 15 species of the genus are now recorded. The new species is similar to Arna bipunctapex, but can be easily separated from the latter by the following characters: forewing yellow with two pale transverse median lines; hindwing pale yellow; uncus less acute at apex of dorsal part, valva with shorter protrusion at apex of costa; female with a smaller ostium.Published as part of Wang, Houshuai, Wang, Min & Fan, Xiaoling, 2011, Notes on the tribe Nygmiini (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Lymantriinae) from Nanling National Nature Reserve, with description of a new species, pp. 57-68 in Zootaxa 2887 on page 58, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20082
