A Polite And Respectful Acceptance —— Implicit Function Of Refusal In Chinese From Pedagogical Perspective, Yawei Li

Chinese Language Teaching Methodology and Technology

This paper discusses the implicit function of refusal expressions that has been used by Chinese native speakers when responding to people’s offerings. By analyzing three conversations regarding how Chinese people have accepted people’s offerings during different time periods (1960’s, 1980’s, and 2000’s), the author argues that the verbal refusal in reacting to people’s offerings (especially gifts) does not literally mean “No, I don’t want it.” Instead, it is a way to show humility, politeness, and respect to the gift giver, and it functions as an implicit form of acceptance. By referring to three excerpts chosen from The Book of Rites …

Studying Chinese Characters In A Web-Based Learning Environment: A Case Study Of Swedish University Students, Tao Yang, Man Gao

Chinese Language Teaching Methodology and Technology

This survey study aims to investigate the perceptions learners have of the character-learning strategies they employ when taking a web-based course in Chinese. The seven Likert-scale statements are included in the questionnaire to examine learners’ opinions on the three character-learning strategies that are widely used in traditional campus courses. A total of 65 students who completed the beginner level ‘Chinese Characters’ web-based course at a university in Sweden completed the survey. The results suggest that students in web-based courses consider these three strategies to be just as helpful and effective as campus students; moreover, the more orthodox strategy – rote …

On The Relationship Between The Morality Advocating Campaign In The Qing Dynasty And Popular Novels, Caixun Chen

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Through the nationwide Morality Advocating Campaign, the Qing government brought novels into cultural management, which had a profound influence on the creation and dissemination of the novel. In such a political and cultural ecology, censership and banning of novels, which had formed an important part of the social Morality Advocating Campaign, became a top-down, national cultural conscious action in Qing Dynasty. On the one hand, in order to enhance the effect of advocating morality, some "moralist scholars" intentionally fictionized the moral-instruction books. On the other hand, some novelists consciously utilized popular novels to implement persuasion in order to cooperate with …

Playfulness And Parody: The Narrative Tension In Japanese Collection Of Pseudo-Biography Kikai Gisenden, Dongbo Bian

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

"Kikai gisenden" is the only extant Japanese collection of pseudo-biography written in classical Chinese, which includes biographies for everyday utensils in the light of "viewing history as play" and "regarding object as man." These pseudo-biographies focus on the features of the utensils in narrative, while pointing to the nature of "recluse" and "immortality" of the characters. These aims in the pseudo-biographies both exhibit the influence from the biographical writing of recluses and immortal beings in Chinese tradition and manifest Japanese elements in its narrative through the use of Japanese imageries and words. Kikai gisenden provides an important text for the …

Morkovcha, Korean Carrot Salad is a short documentary that tells a story of ethnic Koreans from Russia and the post-Soviet territories making their new home in New York City.

Critically Imagining A Decolonised Vision In Australian Poetry, Cassandra Julie O'Loughlin

Landscapes: the Journal of the International Centre for Landscape and Language

Postmodern ecocriticism, given its broad range of perspectives, offers an agreeable platform for articulating a new, advanced and inclusive framework for a decolonising theorisation of literature and the environment. This article seeks to identify Australian Western decolonising poetry that sits in harmony with Indigenous aural and literary versions of communicative engagement with Country. The concept of human embeddedness in ecological relationships and biological processes as part of a complex matrix of interdependent things is embraced. In particular this article focuses on inclusivity and interconnectedness of all life forms to illustrate aesthetic and conceptual interfaces between Aboriginal Australia and Western poetics. …

The Digital, The Local And The Mundane: Three Areas Of Potential Change For Research On Asia, Radu Leca

Asia Pacific Perspectives

The Covid-19 pandemic has been a game-changer for academic research because it has affected all of its aspects, starting from the “where,” which influences the “what” and the “how.” Given these changes, I would like to suggest a few possibilities for updating the “where,” the “what,” and the “how” of research on the Asia Pacific region. I will illustrate these possibilities with some of my own strategies developed or reinforced during the pandemic, as a historian of the art and culture of early modern Japan. Three dimensions of the changes guide my suggestions: the digital, the local and the mundane.

從吳敬梓的禮樂兵農思想 : 看《儒林外史》的兩場戰爭, Ki Wong

Dissertations from all years

《儒林外史》以諷刺而聞名，但作者在書中並非只有否定，對社會加以諷刺、鞭撻的同時，也描繪了心中的理想社會，表達對禮樂兵農思想的推崇。書中有兩場戰爭似與全書的風格不相調和，筆者以這兩場戰爭為題，嘗試從兵農思想的角度，結合人物故事的原型、文獻，以探討作者創作的用意，以及兩場戰爭在全書中的作用。本文分作五部份，第一章為引言。第二章主要釐清兩埸戰爭中的人物、故事原型。第三章會從顏李學說看吳敬梓禮樂兵農思想的由來及內容。第四章從兩場戰爭的前因後果探討作者的思想。第五章為結語。

從《山公啟事》「題目」看山濤品評人物的特點, Yan Yan Chow

Dissertations from all years

山濤任職吏部十多年間，為晉武帝選賢無數，《山公啟事》為其就官位空缺而撰寫的適合任官人選的啟文。

本文以歷史文獻為依據，以文本互證方法嘗試分析山濤品評人物的分類和其準則。由於搜集資料時發現前人多以《世說新語》、《人物志》為六朝人物品評的研究材料，而清人葉德輝輯刻整理的《山公啟事》則鮮有學者集中研究，又因山濤舉薦人才每每親自品題，可據以研究晉代政治人物品評的材料，故論文會以此為切入點主要集中考釋山濤在《山公啟事》裡面的品藻「題目」，然後分析他品評人物時的特點，以及比較山公與《世說新語》在人物品藻上的異同之處。

Dissertations from all years

有關明清傳奇敘事程式的研究，林鶴宜的《規律與變異：明清戲曲學辨疑》首先提出各項基本和輔助程式，幫助研究及釐清戲曲作品的敘事脈絡。林鶴宜認為明清傳奇的敘事程式大致有三：「結構性程式」、「環節性程式」和「修飾性程式」1。本文發現《紅梨記》和《贈書記》有按照規律程式鋪排劇情，獲得既定效果；同時亦有透過變奏程式，為情節帶來創新的演繹。本文將集中討論《紅梨記》和《贈書記》的「結構性程式」和「環節性程式」，仔細探討其表演和文學的規守及演繹變化。本文分為七部分：第一章為緒論。第二章為《紅梨記》程式規範考。第三章為論《紅梨記》特殊敘事程式和關鍵情節。第四章為《贈書記》程式規範考。第五章為《贈書記》特殊敘事程式和關鍵情節。第六章為兩劇「磨難試煉程式」比較。第七章為全文總結。

The Female Experience With Nationalism, Feminism, And Han In Post-Choson Korea, Midori Raymond

BYU Asian Studies Student Journal

Women constitute roughly half of the population, yet in most patriarchal societies they are placed second to men. Throughout the course of history, there have been several attempts to improve the standing of women within the home and society to match that of their male counterparts. These attempts to achieve gender equality can be categorized as feminism. In South Korea (hereafter Korea), there have been many such attempts. Since the Japanese colonial period, many things have contributed to the rise of modern feminism in Korea; nationalism, speaking out against sexual assault, and the female experience with han can be considered …
