Here, the differential reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) was performed to monitor the growth of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) on a SiO2/Si substrate prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). A home-built in-situ DRS setup was applied to monitor the growth of MoS2 in-situ. The formation and evolution of monolayer MoS2 are revealed by differential reflectance (DR) spectra. The morphology, vibration mode, absorption characteristics and thickness of monolayer MoS2 have been confirmed by optical microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, ex-situ DR spectra, and atomic force microscopy (AFM) respectively. The results demonstrated that DRS was a powerful tool for in-situ observations and has great potential for growth mechanism and controllability of TMDCs prepared by CVD.

When Lv Buwei served as Prime combination with his experience, and finally formed a set of minister of Qin state, he once said, "以秦之强，羞不如（战国四 Sima Qian mode with the style of strategists in Warring States 公子养士），亦招致士，厚遇之，至食客三千。(Meaning: It was in The Records of the Grand Historian by selection and really ashamed that Qin state was so strong but had so fewer revision. intellectuals than that collected by the four feudal princes in the Warring States!

  • 4.3 the Rise of the Han
    Indiana University, History G380 – class text readings – Spring 2010 – R. Eno 4.3 THE RISE OF THE HAN The emergence of the Han Dynasty represents the full confluence of two seemingly contradictory trends that had been increasingly paired since the time of Shang Yang: meritocracy and autocracy. The First Emperor, through his conscious exaltation of his throne and his thorough rejection of Zhou feudalism and hereditary privilege, had created the conditions for the institutionalization of these forces. The founder of the Han Dynasty, Liu Pang, was from a peasant family; during the Qin he served as a petty official in a peripheral region of China. He succeeded to the imperial throne only by prevailing in a civil war that lasted for over four years after the surrender of Ziying, the last ruler of the Qin. His principal opponent during that period was a man named Xiang Yu, who represented everything that Liu Bang was not. Xiang Yu was of patrician stock, a scion of the house of Chu, and the model of a Zhou-style warrior: brave, skillful, elegant, and bloodthirsty. Xiang Yu began as the leader of the very forces that brought Liu Bang to power, and was, for a time, acknowledged by all, including Liu, to be the founder of the successor dynasty to the Qin. Yet he was destroyed by the supporters of a subordinate from the peasant class. Liu Bang ascended the throne in 202 B.C.,* less than twenty years after the end of the Warring States period. How confounding it must have been to the elder generation to see a peasant occupying the seat of power! An overview of the civil wars (209-202) Chen She's uprising, 209-208.

Publicly Accessible Penn Dissertations. 2113. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/2113 This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/2113 For more information, please contact [email protected]. Building Blocks of Chinese Historiography: A Narratological Analysis of Shi Ji Abstract In Shi ji studies, scholars from both the East and West have predominantly taken one particular approach: the psychological reading of its author, Sima Qian. Since the author suffered penal castration when he was writing the Shi ji, this approach has been summarized as “the theory of conveying one’s frustration.” Many scholars, modern and pre-modern alike, have inferred the author’s feelings and emotions from his biographical experiences and have interpreted the text accordingly. This narrow interpretation constrains our understanding by exclusively focusing on the author’s personal pains and purposes. Such analysis thus commits the intentional fallacy, which mistakenly equates the author with the text, unjustifiably simplifying the complicated interpretive process. I explore the features of the text itself, shifting the focus of research from the author’s intention to the effects produced by its narrative devices, which have determinative influence over the interpretive process but have long been overlooked.

They achieve a sense of authenticity through visual (instruments, movements, clothing and album cover art) and aural (vocal and instrument timbre, music structure and lyric) production associated with the social aspects of ethnic minority life, especially the migrant workers’ life, represented in their songs. Introduction After 1976, the year of Mao Zedong’s death, mainland Chinese society went through a dramatic social change under the successive leader Deng Xiaoping, who led China from 1978 through 1992.
