Macro investigation and experimental analyses were used to assess the lithology in detail, total organic matter mass fraction w(TOC), mineral composition, and trace element characteristics of 1n. The influencing factors of organic matter enrichment were discussed extensively, and a sedimentary facies mode was suggested. In the early stage of 1n, the locations of Well E’yangye 1, Well Ciye 1, Well Changye 1, and Well Anye 1 respectively develop, platform inner sag, outer shelf, Jiangnan slope belt, and South China detention basin. In the late stage of 1n, the sedimentary facies evolve with decreasing sea level. The study area presents a complete three-step basin in the Early Cambrian. In the early stage of 1n, the first step is the Yangtze carbonate platform, the second step is the outer shelf and slope, and the third step is the deep-water basin. From the Yangtze carbonate platform to the deep-water basin, w(TOC) and the mass fraction of quartz gradually increase, the mass fraction of carbonate mineral decreases, and the mass fraction of clay mineral is higher in the second step. The sea level fluctuation results in a higher w(TOC) vertically in the lower 1n shale, and the paleogeographic (provenance) conditions lead to better horizontal development of organic matter in the outer shelf, slope and detention basin. Trace elements are abundant in the lower 1n, and w(TOC) is correlated positively with many trace elements. In the outer shelf, slope, and adjacent areas, hydrothermal activity and upwelling current bring nutrient-rich material and promote organic matter enrichment under a strong reducing condition. Deep-shelf, slope and deep-water basin are the best facies for the formation and preservation of organic matter, especially deep-water basin facies. It remains necessary to strengthen the exploration of shale gas in the deep-water basin of 1n in central Hunan, China.

The LBM is used to solve the incompressible fluid flow over a regular Eulerian grid, while the IB method is employed to couple the bead-spring model which represents the fluid- particle interaction. After model validation, the simulations for hydrodynamic focusing of the single and multi particles are performed. The particles can be focused into the equilibrium positions under the pressure gradient and self-rotation induced forces, and the particle radius and Reynolds number are the key parameters influencing the focusing dynamics. This work demonstrates the potential usefulness of the IB-LBM model in studying the particle hydrodynamic focusing. PACS: 47.27.nd, 47.11.−j, 87.85.gf, 04.60.Nc DOI: 10.1088/0256-307X/30/7/074702

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Qin and Literati Culture in Song China A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Asian Languages and Cultures by Meimei Zhang 2019 © Copyright by Meimei Zhang 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Qin and Literati Culture in Song China by Meimei Zhang Doctor of Philosophy in Asian Languages and Cultures University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor David C Schaberg, Chair My dissertation examines the distinctive role that the qin played in Chinese literati culture in the Song dynasty (960-1279) through its representations in literary texts. As one of the earliest stringed musical instruments in China, the qin has occupied a unique status in Chinese cultural history. It has been played since ancient times, and has traditionally been favored by Chinese scholars and literati as an instrument of great subtlety and refinement. This dissertation focuses on the period of the Song because it was during this period that the literati developed as a class and started to indulge themselves in various cultural and artistic pursuits, and record their experiences in literary compositions as part of their self-fashioning. Among these cultural pursuits, the qin playing was an important one. Although there have been several academic works on the qin, most of them focus on the musical aspects of the instrument. My project aims to reorient the perspective on the qin by revealing its close relationship and interaction with the literati class from a series of ii historical and literary approaches. During the Song, the qin was mentioned in a multiplicity of literary texts, and associated with a plethora of renowned literary figures.

  • Outlaws 097: Truce
    Welcome to the Water Margin Podcast. This is episode 97. Last time, the Liangshan bandits returned to Zeng Family Village looking to avenge the death of their former leader Chao Gai. They mostly had the upper hand in the first two engagements, including killing the eldest of the Zeng family’s five sons. As we pick up the story, the Zeng family’s youngest son, Zeng Sheng (1), had demanded that they go avenge his brother. So the family’s arms instructor Shi (3) Wengong (2,1) led an army out to challenge for battle. He rode out on the fine horse that they had seized from Liangshan previously, which was the cause of all this kerfuffle. Shi Wengong rode out to the front of the lines to challenge for battle. On the bandits’ side, the chieftain Qin Ming the Fiery Thunderbolt wanted to claim the honor of slaying their nemesis, so he galloped out to take on Shi Wengong. The two warriors raised their weapons and exchanged blows. Now, as we have seen repeatedly in the novel, Qin Ming was one of Liangshan’s fiercest fighters. But this time, he met his match. After 20 bouts, he started to falter, so he turned and rode back toward his own lines. But Shi Wengong chased after him, and speared him in the back of the thigh, sending him tumbling off his horse. Four chieftains from Liangshan quickly charged out to occupy Shi Wengong while the lackeys rescued Qin Ming, but the Zeng family forces charged and won the day, riding the momentum from their arms instructor’s victory.

    Welcome to the Water Margin Podcast. This is episode 94. Last time, the Liangshan bandits, trying one more time to rescue Lu Junyi from Daming Prefecture, had laid out an elaborate plan to infiltrate and sack the city during the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month of the new year. While our heroes were busy plotting, inside Daming Prefecture, Governor Liang had summoned his commanders Li (3) Cheng (2) and Wen (2) Da (2), along with the prefect of Daming and his other officials to discuss a pressing matter — the giant celebration that usually took place on the night of the Lantern Festival. “We usually have a huge lantern festival and celebrate with the civilians; it’s on par with what they do in the capital,” Governor Liang said. “But this year, we have been attacked twice by the Liangshan bandits. I’m worried that if we hold a festival, there could be trouble. I am thinking about foregoing the celebration this year. What do you all think?” The commander Wen Da said, “The bandits quietly retreated and only left a bunch of anonymous flyers. They must be out of ideas. My lord, there’s no need to worry. If we don’t hold the celebration this year, those knaves will laugh at us when they hear about it. You should send out a decree and tell the civilians that we will put on an even bigger show than in years past. In the center of the city, we should erect two hills of lanterns like they do in the capital.

  • Foreignization and Domestication --- on the Translating of Main Characters’ Nicknames in Two Translations of Shui Hu Chuan
    International Journal of Business and Social Science Vol. 4 No. 13; October 2013 Cultural Factors in Literary Translation: Foreignization and Domestication --- On the Translating of Main Characters’ Nicknames in Two Translations of Shui Hu Chuan Lin Yang Foreign Languages College of Inner Mongolia University No. 235, Da Xue Road W. Saihan District Hohhot, Inner Mongolia P.R. China. Abstract Approaches to cultural factors involved in translating the nicknames of one hundred and eight main characters in Outlaws of the Marsh or All Men are Brothers, with strong Chinese cultural characteristics may be divided into two methods: SL (Source Language) culture-oriented or foreignization and TL (Target Language) culture- oriented or domestication and a good translation version should find a reasonable “meeting point” because the purpose of translating such classic literary work is not only to make foreigners know Chinese culture but also to make them appreciate and understand the novel under the condition of the readability of the novel. Key words: cultural factors; literary translation; foreignization; domestication I. The Artistic Charm of Main Characters’ Nicknames in Shui Hu Chuan (Outlaws of the Marsh or All Men Are Brothers) In Shui Hu Chuan, there are one hundred and eight brave fellows assembling in Liang Shan Marsh. They were from different social stratum at that time and they are all people’s idealistic heroes. Shi Nai’an, the author of the novel is a master of creation and a master of giving nicknames as well. Lifelike brave fellows and their nicknames become a unified entity. After reading the novel, one will feel that Shui Hu Chuan is really a picture gallery of a superb collection of characters while a nickname is the pupil of every picture.

    Cut-out: Music, Profanity, and Subcultural Politics in 1990s China Zhongwei Li A thesis submitted to the Department of Media and Communications for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The London School of Economics and Political Science London, September 2019 1 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 83,577 words. 2 Abstract This thesis examines the subcultural politics of the “cut-out generation” in 1990s China. It is driven by a double aspiration, and aims to bridge gaps in two main fields of literature. The first aspiration is a historical one: I offer a fine historical account of the “cut-out generation” as a slice of 1990s Chinese society, which remained overlooked in Chinese studies. The second aspiration is a theoretical one: I interrogate existing theories and concepts in the larger field of cultural studies, including music and materiality, subculture and profanity, regime of value and structure of feeling, with evidence found in this Chinese case, and point toward a comprehensive framework for the analysis of subcultural politics.

  • Welcome to the Water Margin Podcast. This Is Episode 49. Last Time, Both Song Jiang and Hua Rong Had Been Arrested -- Song Jiang
    Welcome to the Water Margin Podcast. This is episode 49. Last time, both Song Jiang and Hua Rong had been arrested -- Song Jiang for supposedly being the leader of the Clear Winds Mountain bandits and Hua Rong for being in cahoots with the bandits by his relationship with Song Jiang. They were being escorted to Qingzhou Prefecture by Huang Xin, the commander of the prefectural army, and Liu Gao, the commandant of Fort Clear Winds who had arrested Song Jiang and reported Hua Rong to his superiors in the first place, starting all this trouble. But on their way to the prefectural seat, this entourage was intercepted in a forest. While Liu Gao was busy peeing his pants, Huang Xin, being a military guy, wasn’t so frightened and useless. He rode forward to check out what’s going on, and he saw that his party had been surrounded by about 500 bandits, all looking stout and vicious, donning red headscarves and padded tunics, and armed with swords and spears. Three heroes now leaped out from the woods and blocked the road, one in black, another in green, and the third in red. They all wore the same style gold-emblazoned headscarves, wore a short broadsword around their waist, and wielded a long-handle broadsword. These three were the bandit chieftains from Clear Winds Mountain -- Yan Shun the Multicolored Tiger, Wang Ying the Stumpy Tiger, and Zheng (4) Tianshou the Fair-faced Gentleman. “All travelers must stop here and pay 3,000 taels of gold before you can pass!” the three chieftains shouted.
