As a result of the global movement toward greater recognition of gender equality and human dignity, the study of women as portrayed in Chinese literature has a long and rich history. A single volume cannot cover the enormous field but offers volume is a starting point for further research. Several renowned Chinese writers and researchers contributed to the book. The volume includes the following: (1) Introduction (Li Yu- Wing);(2) Concepts of Redemption and Fall through Woman as Reflected in Chinese Literature (Tsung Su);(3) The Poems of Li Qingzhao (1084-1141) (Kai-yu Hsu); (4) Images of Women in Yuan Drama (Fan Pen Chen);(5) The Vanguards--The Truncated Stage (The Women of Lu Yin, Bing Xin, and Ding Ling) (Liu Nienling); (6) New Woman vs.

    mathematics Article Statistics and Practice on the Trend’s Reversal and Turning Points of Chinese Stock Indices Based on Gann’s Time Theory and Solar Terms Effect Tianbao Zhou 1 , Xinghao Li 2 and Peng Wang 1,* 1 College of Science, Beijing Forestry University, Beijing 100083, China; [email protected] 2 School of Information Science & Technology, Beijing Forestry University, Beijing 100083, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Despite the future price of individual stocks has long been proved to be unpredictable and irregular according to the EMH, the turning points (or the reversal) of the stock indices trend still remain the rules to follow. Therefore, this study mainly aimed to provide investors with new strategies in buying ETFs of the indices, which not only avoided the instability of individual stocks, but were also able to get a high profit within weeks. Famous theories like Gann theory and the Elliott wave theory suggest that as part of the nature, market regulations and economic activities of human beings shall conform to the laws of nature and the operation of the universe. They further refined only the rules related to specific timepoints and the time cycle rather than the traditional analysis of the complex economic and social factors, which is, to some extent, similar to what the Chinese traditional culture proposes: that every impact on and change in the human society is always attributable to changes in the nature. The study found that the turns of the stock indices trend were inevitable at Citation: Zhou, T.; Li, X.; Wang, P.

We study the gnomon shadow lengths for the 24 solar terms as recorded in the book. Special attention is paid to the so-called law of ‘cun qian li’, which says the shadow length of a gnomon of 8 chi (about 1.96 m) high will increase (or decrease) 1 cun (1/10 chi) for every 1000 li (roughly 400 km) the gnomon moves northward (or south- ward). From these data, one can derive the time and location of the observations. The re- sults, however, do not fit historical facts. We suggest that compilers of the Zhoubi Suanjing must have modified the original data according to the law of ‘cun qian li’. Through re- versing the situation, we recovered the original data, our analysis of which reveals the best possible observation time as 564 BC and the location of observation as 35.78 ◦ N latitude.

    La propuesta rectora de Teachers College ha sido que la educación por sí sola no puede corregir las desigualdades de nuestra sociedad —que para maximizar las oportunidades de vida de todas las personas, necesitamos no solo maestros, sino también psicólogos, educadores de enfermería, educadores de nutrición, especialistas en resolución de conflictos, psicólogos organizacionales, patólogos del habla y del lenguaje, nutricionistas, educadores de la salud, artistas y educadores de arte, analistas políticos y tantos otros—. Muchos de estos campos surgieron en Teachers College, y por mucho tiempo hemos admitido que los profesionales de todos ellos deben trabajar juntos de manera interdisciplinaria. Pero a medida que la nación y el mundo comienzan a reconstruirse ante desafíos sin precedentes en nuestra historia, esa colaboración debe convertirse en el espíritu de nuestra era, y el Teachers College puede y debe ayudar a mostrar el camino. Tenemos la experiencia necesaria para abordar la pérdida de aprendizaje y las secuelas psicológicas de los niños que han pasado meses desconectados de la escuela, para diseñar nuevos sistemas a fin de luchar contra la inseguridad alimentaria generalizada, para ayudar a los profesores no solo a sobrevivir sino a prosperar en el nuevo y valiente mundo del aprendizaje en línea, y para ayudar a personas de diferentes culturas, razas y opiniones políticas a salvar sus diferencias y encontrar un terreno común. Pero, sobre todo, entendemos el poder y la esperanza de la propia educación como una fuerza que impulsa y une. La educación es una expresión de la determinación humana para crear una mejor forma de vida. Al alcanzar la excelencia en nuestros campos, comenzamos a hacer realidad nuestras metas.

Origin and Customs of the Chinese New Year1 Haiwang Yuan, Professor from Western Kentucky University Guest Professor from CFL, Nankai University Author2 “What date is the Chinese New Year?” The Chinese ask themselves every year, but few can answer it off the top of their head. Believe it or not, they have to refer to the Chinese calendar to get the answer. The Chinese calendar is lunisolar, which means it shows elements of both the lunar and solar calendars. The Chinese use the Gregorian calendar to live their daily lives while using the Chinese lunar calendar to observe their traditional festivals and conduct their folk activities. Based on the moon’s revolution around the Earth, it is about 11 days shorter each year than the solar calendar.

    A HISTORY OF READING IN LATE IMPERIAL CHINA, 1000-1800 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Li Yu, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Galal Walker, advisor Professor Mark Bender Professor Cynthia J. Brokaw ______________________________ Professor Patricia A. Sieber Advisor East Asian Languages and Literatures ABSTRACT This dissertation is a historical ethnographic study on the act of reading in late imperial China. Focusing on the practice and representation of reading, I present a mosaic of how reading was conceptualized, perceived, conducted, and transmitted from the tenth to the eighteenth centuries. My central argument is that reading, or dushu, was an indispensable component in the tapestry of cultural life and occupied a unique position in the landscape of social history in late imperial China. Reading is not merely a psychological act of individuals, but also a set of complicated social practices determined and conditioned by social conventions. The dissertation consists of six chapters. Chapter 1 discusses motivation, scope, methodology, and sources of the study. I introduce a dozen different Chinese terms related to the act of reading. Chapter 2 examines theories and practices of how children were taught to read. Focusing on four main pedagogical procedures, namely memorization, vocalization, punctuation, and explication, I argue that the loud chanting of texts and the constant anxiety of reciting were two of the most prominent themes that ran through both the descriptive and prescriptive discourses on the history of reading in late imperial ii China.
