A Study on the Translation Strategies of the “Hongyan” (Wild Goose) Image in Xu Yuanchong’s Ancient Poetry Translations from the Perspective of Cultural Translation Theory
“Hongyan” (wild goose) is a core cultural image in ancient Chinese poetry, carrying profound cultural connotations. Its translation involves not only linguistic conversion but also cross-contextual transmission of cultural semantics. From the perspective of cultural translation theory, this study focuses on Xu Yuanchong’s English translations of ancient Chinese poetry. By sorting out the historical and cultural origins and multiple semantic orien…
More Than Childbirth: Unveiling the Risks of Marriage on Women's Mortality in Tang Dynasty China
Objectives This study investigates how marital and maternal statuses influenced female mortality in the Tang Dynasty (618–907 ce ), China. It challenges the focus on reproductive risks by exploring both biological and social factors affecting female mortality in reproductive and post‐reproductive years. Materials and Methods Epitaph data were analyzed from four female groups: bureaucrats' wives (married, reproductive), eunuchs' wives (married, no…
Mnemonic Construction, Transgenerational Discourses, and “Film Generations”: China’s Cinematic Practice of the War of Resistance since the 1980s
A Pilot Study of Shell Ornaments From the Gebusailu Site in Xizang, China
Shell ornaments excavated from the Gebusailu Site in the Xizang Autonomous Region of China, dating back to 750 BC , were analyzed to study their geographic origin, manufacturing process and preservation state. Concretely, they were investigated by ultra‐depth microscope (SDM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR), X‐ray diffraction analysis (XRD), and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP…
Understanding “World Literature” in China Today
This essay will analyse how Goethe’s “ Weltliteratur ” is interpreted and re-invented in China in the twenty-first century mainly by reviewing selective essays published in the Chinese journal Comparative Literature in China . The analysis reveals how Chinese scholars strive to engage actively in the international discussions of the concept and to chart a map of world literature by offering Chinese perspectives. One such attempt is to trace a par…
Wallace Stevens and Zen Buddhism
American poet Wallace Stevens describes nature in his poetry, discussing the relationship between poetry writing and nature, and expresses his ecological poetics to the world. The poet also integrates the concepts of Buddhism into his ecopoetry, advocating that humans should control the constantly expanding material desires, being indifferent to fame and wealth, and form a peaceful state of mind, thereby reducing human damage to the environment a…
A striking growth of CO 2 emissions from the global cement industry driven by new facilities in emerging countries
Global industrialization and urbanization processes enabled a diverse cement production boom over the past three decades, as cement is the most important building construction material. Consequently, the cement industry is the second-largest industrial CO 2 emitter (∼25% of global industrial CO 2 emissions) globally. In this study, the Global Cement Emission Database, which encompasses anthropogenic CO 2 emissions of individual production units w…
A New Attempt of Speculative English Writing Teaching in the Era of “Internet Plus”
In the era of “Internet Plus”, the technology of “Internet Plus” has been combined with education, which calls for a new challenge to the content, mode and relationship of education. This research is going to discuss about the lack of speculative teaching in college English writing teaching in the era of “Internet Plus” based on the critical thinking hierarchical theory, finding out the current problems, to provide a new education mode.The techno…
An Analysis of the Relationship Between City and Literature in Harold Bloom’s Literary Places
In terms of the relationship between city and literature, Harold Bloom in his works Literary Places points out city is the poetical dwelling and source of literature, while writers construct various images of city in the literature. By analyzing the relationship between city and literature, on one side, city is the matrix of literature. City provides writers with writing materials and opportunities to demonstrate the panorama of a city. On the ot…
Construction of Language Teachers’ Professional Competence in Education for Sustainable Development in Higher Education for Post-pandemic Era
Education for sustainable development is essentially a value education. It is an educational process that aims at the value recognition, perception, practice and sustainable value tendency of sustainable development. Language teachers’ competences for sustainable development education is a professional ability manifested in sustainable development education activities based on their recognition of relevant concepts and willingness to practice sus…
Improved spatial representation of a highly resolved emission inventory in China: Evidence from TROPOMI measurements
Emissions in many sources are estimated in municipal district totals and spatially disaggregated onto grid cells using empirically selected spatial proxies such as population density, which might introduce biases, especially in fine spatial scale. Efforts have been made to improve the spatial representation of emission inventory, by incorporating comprehensive point source database (e.g. power plants, industrial facilities) in emission estimates.…
Evaporation process dominates vehicular NMVOC emissions in China with enlarged contribution from 1990 to 2016
Non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC) are important precursors of ozone and secondary organic aerosols in PM 2.5 (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameters smaller than 2.5 μ m), both of which cause severe climate, ecosystem, and human health damages. As one of the major anthropogenic sources, onroad vehicles are subject to relatively large errors and uncertainties in the estimation of NMVOC emissions due to complicated methods and p…
Drivers of improved PM 2.5 air quality in China from 2013 to 2017
From 2013 to 2017, with the implementation of the toughest-ever clean air policy in China, significant declines in fine particle (PM 2.5 ) concentrations occurred nationwide. Here we estimate the drivers of the improved PM 2.5 air quality and the associated health benefits in China from 2013 to 2017 based on a measure-specific integrated evaluation approach, which combines a bottom-up emission inventory, a chemical transport model, and epidemiolo…
Gender politics in translation – the case of “ écriture féminine ”
By analyzing the nuances in the four Chinese translations of Hélène Cixous' écriture féminine, this essay examines the transformation and appropriation of the term from French to English and then to Chinese. The analysis shows that the term has largely been used to describe the literary writings written by women in the Chinese context, different from the original reference to the feminine feature of literary writing. Based on this analysis, furth…
A hybrid model approach for estimating health burden from NO 2 in megacities in China: A case study in Guangzhou
Background: Nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) poses substantial public health risks in large cities globally. Concentrations of NO 2 shows high spatial variation, yet intra-urban measurements of NO 2 in Chinese cities are sparse. The size of Chinese cities and shortage of some datasets is challenging for high spatial resolution modelling. The aim here was to combine advantages of dispersion and land-use regression (LUR) modelling to simulate population ex…
Trends in China's anthropogenic emissions since 2010 as the consequence of clean air actions
To tackle the problem of severe air pollution, China has implemented active clean air policies in recent years. As a consequence, the emissions of major air pollutants have decreased and the air quality has substantially improved. Here, we quantified China's anthropogenic emission trends from 2010 to 2017 and identified the major driving forces of these trends by using a combination of bottom-up emission inventory and index decomposition analysis…
Recent reduction in NO x emissions over China: Synthesis of satellite observations and emission inventories
Tropospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO _2 ) column densities detected from space are widely used to infer trends in terrestrial nitrogen oxide (NO _x ) emissions. We study changes in NO _2 column densities using the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) over China from 2005 to 2015 and compare them with the bottom-up inventory to examine NO _x emission trends and their driving forces. From OMI measurements we detect the peak of NO _2 column densities at a…
Ecstaquarter on Huang Pu River: An interview with the director of one of Shanghai's most innovative creative clusters
This interview with Huang Gai is about a creative business park named ‘Creative Shanghai Riverside’ built on an old General Electric (GE) factory along the western bank of the Huang Pu river, the most important drinking-water source and shipping artery of Shanghai. The reason we call it an ecstaquarter is that we see it as an existing imaginary place that foregrounds the sensual and philosophical side of the founder and designer — Deng Kunyan, wh…
