Emperor Guangwu and Mystic Confucian Doctorine as Seen from the Political Situation of the Late Xin–Early Later Han Dynasty Eras
Get PDFAlong with development of the study of the Confucian classics (jingxue 經學) during the Han Period, there also appeared a related strain of mystic doctrine (chenwei 讖緯), related to the power of the emperors. The research to date on the use of chenwei-related works has indicated the possibility that although the writings on divination (tuchen 圖讖) done at the time of the enthronement of Later Han Emperor Guangwu (Guangwudi 光武帝; r. 25–57 CE) had no ideational connection to either Confucius or the Confucian classics, by the time of the fengshan 封禪 festivals of heaven and earth at Mt. Taishan 泰山, such prophetic writing was being influenced by Confucian ideas. The present article follows this research in considering exactly how Emperor Guangwu came to deal with chenwei works in connection with Confucian thought.
To begin with, despite the fact that the theory that Confucius had written chenwei books to testify to the establishment and continued existence of the Han dynasty (Kong Qiu Mijing 孔丘秘經 Theory) had already appeared during the last years of the Xin Dynasty, the influence of Confucian chenwei thought was no widespread; and even after the uprising and enthronement of Emperor Guangwu, little interest was directed at the connection of chenwei to Confucianism. Rather, it was a time when the Emperor regarded chenwei as being effective in more concrete matters connected to rural life, the conquest of Hebei, etc.
It was not until around the 6th year of Jianwu Era (30 CE) that Gongsun Shu 公孫述, the independent warlord of the Sichuan region, began operations to incite people by spreading the word of Confucian chenwei throughout Zhongyuan 中原. Meanwhile, beginning in the previous year, Emperor Guangwu had initiated various programs aimed at stabilizing the social crisis and chaos in the midst of military conflict through the introduction of Confucian ideas. Both movements were attempts to appeal to, agitate among and win the hearts of the people of Zhongyuan, who were by no means steadfast in loyalty to the Emperor Guangwu’s regime, by appealing to them, even if symbolically, with the then widely shared authority, i.e. Confucian ideas.
The author concludes that the preconditions for these efforts, i.e. the penetration of Confucianism into Chinese society, led to the utilization of Confucian chenwei by Emperor Guangwu, through the political tensions at the beginning of the Later Han Period.journal articl
The Numerical Analysis of CFG Pile Technology in the Disposing Soft Foundation in GuangWu Expressway
No full textThe problem of disposing the soft soil foundation will appear inevitably during the construction of modem high way. There are many ways to dispose the soft foundation. One of those is CFG pile technology. Take the CFG pile technology in the GuangWu Expressway for example, the influence factors of embankment settlement were discussed in detai by numerical analysis, some useful conclusions are obtained from the computational results.</jats:p
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Metal ion (Ca2+, Mg2+, Zn2+) catalyzed synthesis of high-quality zeolite templated carbon
No full text© 2022 Elsevier Inc.Three metal ions (Ca2+, Mg2+, and Zn2+) were found to be successful catalysts to produce high-quality zeolite templated carbon (ZTC), a periodic three-dimensional graphene-like carbon with ordered microporous structure. Their roles in high-quality ZTC formation were studied by characterizing chemical component, surface morphology, structure, and pore properties. Ca2+, Mg2+, and Zn2+ minimize or eliminate the blockage of channels by carbon deposits and non-selective thermal deposition on the external surface of the zeolite particles. The growth temperature was lowered to only 450 °C. Moreover, the formation mechanism of ordered ZTC structure was revealed for the first time.11Nsciescopu
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
