Wang Shuo and the commercialisation of contemporary Chinese culture
Get PDFThis 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
The concept of peace in the Tao Te Ching
Get PDFThis thesis represents a first attempt to analyze Lao Tzu's main method of resolving the social and political problems in Ch'un Ch'iu and Warring States Periods. Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism, suggested many solutions that could bring an end to the conflicts and to the ending of the disunity of China. Examples of these include the reform or abolishment of some ancient Chinese institutions as well as new principles for the enhancement and preservation of life. All these ideas were to become crystallised in Tao Te Ch'ing, which became an important religious text. In particular, the aspect of Lao Tzu's methods for solving the social and political problems of China in the Warring States Period needs more attention. In each chapter of the Tao Te Ch'ing there was a main emphasis on peace as the main method of developing social cohesion and as a cure to all fundamental human problems. Therefore, Lao Tzu's ideas about peace and his methods of solving the problems of the Warring States period are significant and from the main focus of the thesis

This species can be distinguished from its congeners in the male genitalia by the sub-triangular juxta with neither posterior lobes nor a flap, the aedeagus with two needle-like cornuti (Fig. 8), in the female genitalia by the weakly sclerotized antrum longer than wide, and the ductus bursae shorter than the corpus bursae (Fig. 12). Distribution. China (Hainan, Taiwan, Zhejiang). Remarks. Lepidozonates viciniolus is synonymized with Philharmonia adusta Park, 2000. Lepidozonates viciniolus is identical to P. adusta in appearance, venation, as well as in the male and female genitalia, and closely distributed geographically. The presence of the plumose scales on the pleural membrane are not mentioned in the original description, but other characters are well in consistent with those of P. adusta.Published as part of Yu, Shuai & Wang, Shuxia, 2021, Genus Lepidozonates Park (Lepidoptera, Lecithoceridae) from China, with description of a new species, pp. 591-597 in Zootaxa 4903 (4) on pages 592-593, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4903.4.7, http://zenodo.org/record/443149
Wang Meng and contemporary Chinese literature: the vicissitudes of a committed writer
Get PDFThis 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

The origin of metaphysical thoughts of Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu
No full textWithin the dissertation of the origin of metaphysical thoughts of Chinese Philosopher Lao Tzu; the methods of Lao Tzu as for the ideal of "Returning to Nature" is evaluated together with the phrasing images of the humanity in between the primitive society and the civilization after the invention of writing along with its historical evolution. On that respect, in the first part of this dissertation, it is enlightened the philosophy of Lao Tzu aroused during the period of Spring-Autumn which was after the invention of writing and within the second part, it's analyzed the historical & cultural background which diligently contributed to the evolution & embodiment of Lao Tzu philosophy. With regard to the third part of the dissertation, Wei-Jin Period philosopher Wang Bi's "Theory of Language and Meaning" is disclosed. Wang Bi has developed this theory to understand the methods of Lao Tzu's "returning to nature". At the same time, Wang Bi is using this theory drew attention to the pictorial period and the "system of three line" which existed before the invention of writing. In the fourth chapter of the dissertation; we have tried to draw attention to the historical process of the " three-line system" which inclusive heaven, human and earth; and tried to return to "colored and colorless bowl era" which belongs to the pictorial period. This point is particularly drawn attention to the close relationship between the methods of Lao Tzu's "returning to nature" and colorful bowls.Çin Düşünürü Lao Tzu'nın Metafizksel Düşünce Yapısının Temel Kaynağı başlıklı bu tezde; Lao Tzu'nın "doğaya dönüş" ideali için ortaya koyduğu yöntemler, ilkel dönem ile yazının icadından sonraki dönem arasında gelişim göstermiş olan "insanlığın ifade yöntemlerinin tarihsel gelişim süreci" içerisinde değerlendirilmiştir. Bu bağlamda; ilk bölümde yazının etkin kullanıldığı İlkbahar-Sonbahar Döneminde ortaya çıkmış olan Lao Tzu felsefesi, ikinci bölümde ise Lao Tzu felsefesinin ortaya çıkması ve şekillenmesine katkı sağlayan tarihsel ve kültürel arka plan hakkında bilgiler verilmiştir. Tezin üçüncü bölümünde; Wei-Jin Dönemi "Sırlar Öğretisi"nin temsilcilerinden olan Wang Bi'nin, Lao Tzu'nın "doğaya dönüş" yöntemini anlamak için geliştirdiği "Dil ve Anlam Teorisi" açıklanırken; insanlık tarihinde yazılı medeniyetin öncesinde var olan ve "doğaya dönüş" ideali için önemli bir yöntem oluşturan "resimli ifade dönemi"ne ve "üç dizim" sistemine vurgu yapılmıştır. Tezin dördüncü bölümünde ise; gök-insan-yer üçlemesini temsil eden "üç dizim" sisteminin ortaya çıktığı tarihsel süreçle birlikte; ilkel dönemin resimli ifade yöntemleri olan renkli ve renksiz kaplar dönemine kadar geri gidilerek; Lao Tzu'nın "doğaya dönüş" ideali ile renkli kaplar arasındaki yakın ilişkiye dikkat çekilmiştir
