Querying the Essence of a Musical Instrument
This article explores the Song dynasty ming 銘 inscriptions on the qin 琴, a seven-stringed zither revered in Chinese cultural tradition, to examine how literati inscribed cultural values, personal identity, and aesthetic ideals onto this musical instrument. Rooted in epigraphic traditions, ming inscriptions historically served as commemorative and moralizing texts etched onto various materials. In the Northern Song, the practice flourished among t…
Autumn Sounds
The motif of autumn, symbolizing decline and demise, has long permeated Chinese literature. This article explores the auditory dimension of autumn, namely, "autumn sounds," tracing its evolution from pre-Qin observations to the reflections of Tang and Song poets. During the Tang period, hearing emerged as a key sensory experience, but Song poets developed the theme of autumn sounds even further, employing the sense of hearing not only for emotion…
The Nexus between Health Behavior and Health Outcomes in China
Objectives: Due to the rapidly growing urbanization, economic development, and lifestyle changes in China, health behavior activities like health screening, body mass index, medication adherence, sleeping patterns, and physical activities are significant determinants of health outcomes. These activities are directly associated with health outcomes like the risk of chronic diseases, life expectancy, and mental health conditions. This study aimed t…
Being a Commodity
The qin 琴, a seven-stringed plucked musical instrument, occupies a unique status in Chinese cultural history. By the time it was established as the musical embodiment of classical tradition and literati culture in the Song dynasty, it had become an exchangeable commodity. While literary writings composed before the Song rarely focused on its monetary value, the unprecedentedly vibrant commercial world recast the qin, hitherto an aristocratic or s…
Time-dependent laxative effect of sennoside A, the core functional component of rhubarb, is attributed to gut microbiota and aquaporins
Tracing the Image of the Stringless ‘Qin’ in Buddhist and Literati Writings in the Song Dynasty (960–1279)
This article delves into the religious, philosophical, and poetic connotations of the stringless qin during the Song dynasty, particularly its significance in Chan Buddhism and literati culture. For Chan monks, it analogously represented the transmission of unspoken teachings and the urgency of transcending intellection and language. Simultaneously, Song literati wove the stringless qin into diverse narratives, reflecting both their philosophical…
Mental health and personality implications among medical students during the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic
Few studies have explored the correlations between personality traits and mental health during the outbreak period of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, we conducted a cross-sectional survey to assess the personality traits and mental health of 142 students at Wenzhou Medical University, using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item Scale, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, the Sleep Status Self-Rating Scale, and the NEO Five-Factor Inventory. The res…
High-Frequency Glacial Lake Mapping Using Time Series of Sentinel-1A/1B SAR Imagery
Glacial lakes are an important component of the cryosphere in the Tibetan Plateau. In response to climate warming, they threaten the downstream lives, ecological environment, and public infrastructures through outburst floods within a short time. Although most of the efforts have been made toward extracting glacial lake outlines and detect their changes with remotely sensed images, the temporal frequency and spatial resolution of glacial lake dat…
