Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT This M.A. thesis is a critical study of Chen Jiangong's fiction, chiefly attempting to reveal the process of thematic development in this author's works by way of tracing the hero through non-hero to anti-hero. The first chapter, which is biographical, makes a brief account of Chen's family background, personal experience as well as the unique personality fostered by his ten year career as a coal-miner. The second chapter presents an. analysis of the thematic defects of his early fiction, and meanwhile some technical matters are succinctly introduced. The third chapter deals with the stylistic traits -- subject matter, narrative technique and language -- of the three stories which J «f t untouched in the previous chapter due to their different way of representation.

  • Mathematics Development in China
    Pasundan Journal of Mathematics Education (PJME) DOI 10.5035/pjme.v10i2.2434 Vol. 10 No. 2, November 2020, hal. 1-22 https://journal.unpas.ac.id/index.php/pjme Mathematics Development in China Ade Nandang Mustafa Beijing Normal University [email protected] Abstract China has a very long history of contributing to human civilisation, including its contribution to mathematics development. The Chinese had discovered many essential theories and concepts in mathematics long before the more famous Western mathematicians. Many of China's theories and concepts thousands of years ago have become references to many Western mathematicians. This paper traces the development of mathematics in China from all the dynasties in its history, including the development of mathematical theory, mathematical texts, and the famous mathematical figures of his time. Keywords: Ancient China, Mathematics Development Abstrak Cina memiliki sejarah yang sangat panjang dalam berkontribusi pada peradaban manusia, termasuk kontribusinya terhadap pengembangan matematika. Cina telah menemukan banyak teori dan konsep penting dalam matematika jauh sebelum matematikawan Barat yang lebih terkenal. Banyak teori dan konsep yang dikembangkan oleh Cina ribuan tahun yang lalu menjadi referensi bagi banyak ahli matematika Barat. Makalah ini melacak perkembangan matematika di Cina dari semua dinasti dalam sejarahnya. Termasuk teori matematika yang berkembang, catatan yang dibukukan, dan tokoh matematika yang terkenal di zamannya. Kata kunci: Cina, Perkembangan matematika Introduction In China, mathematics was seen as a necessity and a utility. The mathematics education practice in China has attracted much attention not only from educational communities but also from society. The long history of Chinese civilisation has had an impact on how Chinese people think.

However, to date, the study of Lao She’s literary language has been largely neglected in comparison to the large volume of work that has been dedicated to other aspects of his writings, so there are still gaps in the study of his literary language. This present research provides a detailed analysis of the nature and development of Lao She’s literary language style, and of the unique linguistic characteristics of his works over the thirty-seven year .period of his writing career.
