Assessing Ageing Condition of Mineral Oil-Paper Insulation by Polarization/Depolarization Current
No full textAccurately assessing the ageing status of oil-paper insulation in transformer is essential and important. Polarization and Depolarization Current (PDC) technique is effective in assessing the condition of oil-paper insulation system. Though the PDC behaviour of mineral oil-paper insulation has been widely investigated, there is no report about how to make the quantitative analysis of mineral oil-paper insulation ageing condition by PDC. The PDC characteristics of mineral oil-paper insulation samples were investigated over the ageing period at 110°C. A new method for assessing the ageing condition of mineral oil-paper insulation by calculating the depolarization charge quantity was proposed. Results show that the depolarization charge quantity of mineral oil-paper insulation sample is very sensitive to its ageing condition. The stable depolarization charge quantity could be used to predict the ageing condition of mineral oil-paper insulation
The politics of fashion: perceptions of power in female clothing and ornamentation as reflected in the sixteenth-century Chinese novel Jin Ping Mei
Full text linkThis thesis examines issues of female power and influence in sixteenth-century China focusing on how women and their roles were perceived in the changing social environment of the mid-late Ming dynasty. Using aspects of a New Historicist approach, information from contemporary literary and historical sources are analysed alongside each other. With its emphasis on the lives of women and preoccupation with the description of material objects, the late Ming novel Jin Ping Mei forms an important element in the thesis. China in the sixteenth century saw expanding urbanisation, the emergence of a new wealthy merchant class, increasing visibility of women and a questioning of traditional morality. Fashion consciousness, as one of the most conspicuous aspects of the new material culture, is a possible indicator of these trends. Traditional Western theories contend that fashion began in the particular context of Renaissance Europe. However, this study argues that a similar fashion awareness existed in China too, and was manifested in a competitive striving for social status, in this case specifically among women. In contrast to previous studies which downplayed the impact women had on defining traditional Chinese culture, this thesis demonstrates how women and their sartorial choices began to redefine the boundaries of material culture, influencing literati discourse which, in turn, re- influenced female behaviour

The notion of practicality in Wang Yang -ming\u27s thought
No full textPrevious studies on Wang Yang-ming\u27s philosophy have made an important contribution. Nevertheless, few scholars draw attention to Wang Yang-ming\u27s contribution to Confucian practicality or the notion of the inner connection between his practicality and Confucius\u27 and Mencius\u27 orientation of practicality in their learning. Without a close examination of his notion of practicality, the significance of Wang Yang-ming as a Confucian master will not be appreciated properly. Therefore, in this research, I examine Wang Yang-ming\u27s notion of practicality in relation to his interpretation of the learning of Confucius and Mencius. In my research, I begin with clarifying the learning of Confucius and Mencius necessitated actual action and concrete practice. I also find that such an orientation of practicality gives an explanation to the fact that Wang Yang-ming, however contrary to Chu Hsi, still is regarded as a Confucian master. It is the orientation of practicality that embraces the diversities of Confucian learning and keeps the essence of the learning of Confucius and Mencius. Through my investigation, I have pointed out that Wang Yang-ming\u27s advocating the unity of knowledge and action was his successful application of Confucian practicality, that, also, is, the learning of Confucius and Mencius. Since the realization of humanity required the fulfillment of one\u27s various responsibilities, corresponding to various social roles, Wang Yang-ming underscored that, to completely realize humanity, one could not separate oneself from family and society. In addition, his doctrine that mind and principle are identical gives a different perspective that can help us better understand the idea of fulfilling our roles in society and responsibilities to family without being confined to the rules and regulations of society which dictate our conduct. With the examination of Wang Yang-ming\u27s notion of practicality, I believe that I have clarified Wang Yang-ming\u27s success of transmitting the practicality-oriented learning of Confucius and Mencius. I am also convinced that his notion of practicality is an important reason why his learning agrees with the learning of Confucius and Mencius, and why he is recognized as a philosopher in action
A history of the porcelain industry in Jingdezhen
Full text linkThis study examines the history of the porcelain
industry in Jingdezhen from the Ming dynasty to the
present day, but with special emphasis on the Ming and
Qing periods. After a chronological survey of the
town's history from earliest times to 1949, various
aspects of the production and distribution of porcelain
are considered: the raw materials used and their
manufacture, transport and marketing, management and
labour,finance and overseas trade, and their significance
in the industry's development is assessed.
Among the problems that are examined throughout
the study and in the conclusion are the reasons for the
establishment of the industry in Jingdezhen in the first
place, its great progress during the Ming dynasty and
failure to modernise in the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries, and the connections between economic
development, state involvement and technological progres
