Zhang Tianyi’s Selective Acceptance of Charles Dickens Chunxu Ge School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2019 1 Abstract This research is a comparative study on the works of Charles Dickens (1812-1870) and Zhang Tianyi 張天翼 (1906-1985). The former was one of the greatest novelists of the Victorian era; the latter, a Left-wing writer in Republican China. The study analyses five short stories from Zhang’s corpus and compares his works with ten novles of Dickens. The study argues that Dickens is one among other writers that have parallels with Zhang, through the exploration of several aspects of their works. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Dickens’s novels were introduced to China by Lin Shu.

The previous researches concentrated on how the socio-economic and socio- psychological changes had caused the rapid growth of the popular religious cults since the Song dynasty period, and they presumed that the rapid increase of the state and literati involvement with the local cults just reflected the increasing significance of the popular religions. However, I argue that the previous presumption was only partially right. My research intends to demonstrate that the transformation in the state and literati response to the popular religious cults was iii attributed not only to the change of the popular religions but also to that of the socio-political environment around them. In Chapter Two, I argue that during the period between the late Tang and the Five Dynasties period the difference in the local policies between the northern five dynasties and southern regional regimes caused the disparity in their stances on the popular religious beliefs.

His life- time came at the very end of the Tang rule, the period it is stated in Song dynastic history.

  • Cry1ab Rice Does Not Impact Biological Characters and Functional Response of Cyrtorhinus Lividipennis Preying on Nilaparvata Lugens Eggs1
    Journal of Integrative Agriculture Advanced Online Publication 2015 Doi: 10.1016/S2095-3119(14)60978-3 Cry1Ab Rice Does Not Impact Biological Characters and Functional Response of Cyrtorhinus lividipennis Preying on Nilaparvata lugens Eggs1 CHEN Yang1, LAI Feng-xiang1, SUN Yan-qun1, HONG Li-ying1, TIAN Jun-ce2, ZHANG Zhi-tao1, and FU Qiang1* 1State Key Laboratory of Rice Biology, China National Rice Research Institute, Hangzhou 310006, P.R.China 2 State Key Laboratory Breeding Base for Zhejiang Sustainable Pest and Disease Control, Institute of Plant Protection and Microbiology, Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Hangzhou 310019, P.R.China ABSTRACT One concern about the use of transgenic plants is their potential risk to natural enemies. In this study, using the eggs of the rice brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens, as a food source, we investigated the effects of Cry1Ab rice on the biological characteristics and functional response of an important predator Cyrtorhinus lividipennis. The results showed that the survival ability (adult emergence rate and egg hatching rate), development (egg duration, nymphal developmental duration), adult fresh weight, adult longevity and fecundity of C. lividipennis on Bt rice plants were not significantly different compared to those on non-Bt rice plants. Furthermore, two important parameters of functional response (instantaneous search rate and handling time) were not significantly affected by Bt rice. In conclusion, the tested Cry1Ab rice does not adversely impact the biological character and
