The Reception and Translation of Classical Chinese Poetry in English
NCUE Journal of Humanities Vol. 6, pp. 47-64 September, 2012 The Reception and Translation of Classical Chinese Poetry in English Chia-hui Liao∗ Abstract Translation and reception are inseparable. Translation helps disseminate foreign literature in the target system. An evident example is Ezra Pound’s translation based on the 8th-century Chinese poet Li Bo’s “The River-Merchant’s Wife,” which has been anthologised in Anglophone literature. Through a diachronic survey of the translation of classical Chinese poetry in English, the current paper places emphasis on the interaction between the translation and the target socio-cultural context. It attempts to stress that translation occurs in a context—a translated work is not autonomous and isolated from the literary, cultural, social, and political activities of the receiving end.

Out of the many facets of the wholesale metamorphosis of Chinese society that characterized this era, I focus on the development of an increasingly bureaucratic and autocratic state, the emergence of a semi-autonomous local elite, and the impact on both trends of the rise of the great steppe empires that encircled and, under the Mongols ultimately extinguished the Song. The rapid evolution of Inner Asian state formation in the tenth through the thirteenth centuries not only swayed the development of the Chinese state, by putting questions of war and peace at the forefront of the court’s attention; it also influenced the evolution of China’s socio-political elite, by shap- ing the context within which elite families forged their sense of coorporate identity and calibrated their commitment to the court. -

The sense of the term avant-garde in China is potentially double-edged due to its political, Marxist usage as a reference to the communist party as the ‘vanguard’ of the proletariat. However, since the mid-1980s the term has been borrowed from western literary theory to refer to works of art that push out the edges of accepted artistic practice, in other words in reference to experimental forms and techniques. 2 In China in 1978, there was a public rediscovery of modern poetry – and for those readers under the age of thirty possibly the appearance of poetry they had never read nor heard tell of. For the majority of Chinese poets and poetry-readers the assumption to power of the CCP in 1949 eventually led to the inability to read, or continue reading, translations of contemporary Western avant-garde poetry and the modernist poetry written by Chinese poets. -

An Empirical Study on the Cognitive Attitude of Rural
An empirical study on the cognitive attitude of rural children using mobile phones (based on the example of children from rural areas in Northern Suzhou) An empirical study on the cognitive attitude of rural children using mobile phones (based on the example of children from rural areas in Northern Suzhou) Xinlei Li Qiang Zhu Wen Li1 Nanjing Normal University, China DOI: 10.30547/worldofmedia.4.2019.1 Abstract The small-screen era has created a new life scene for China’s ‘Internet generation’. With the increase in mobile phone penetration among rural children, entertainment has become the biggest goal of rural children using mobile phones. The mobile phone usage of rural children is mostly concentrated on short videos, WeChat and other information apps. The method of direct prohibition adopted by parents and school is not effective in correcting the child’s attitude towards using the phone. The simple living environment of rural children and the left-behind phenomenon leads to the lack of parental supervision. Systematic analysis of rural children’s attitude towards the use of mobile phones and finding factors affecting their use of mobile phones can effectively guide them to obtain knowledge and achieve anti-sinking purpose. Based on the ABC attitude model combined with face-to-face interviews, this paper firstly determines the influencing variables and designs the questionnaire for collecting the data in the rural schools. With fitting of structural equation model, the attitude model affecting rural children’s use of mobile phones is established. The factors influencing rural children’s mobile phone use are analyzed to improve the essential understanding of the problem. -

The Neolithic Ofsouthern China-Origin, Development, and Dispersal
The Neolithic ofSouthern China-Origin, Development, and Dispersal ZHANG CHI AND HSIAO-CHUN HUNG INTRODUCTION SANDWICHED BETWEEN THE YELLOW RIVER and Mainland Southeast Asia, southern China1 lies centrally within eastern Asia. This geographical area can be divided into three geomorphological terrains: the middle and lower Yangtze allu vial plain, the Lingnan (southern Nanling Mountains)-Fujian region,2 and the Yungui Plateau3 (Fig. 1). During the past 30 years, abundant archaeological dis coveries have stimulated a rethinking of the role ofsouthern China in the prehis tory of China and Southeast Asia. This article aims to outline briefly the Neolithic cultural developments in the middle and lower Yangtze alluvial plain, to discuss cultural influences over adjacent regions and, most importantly, to examine the issue of southward population dispersal during this time period. First, we give an overview of some significant prehistoric discoveries in south ern China. With the discovery of Hemudu in the mid-1970s as the divide, the history of archaeology in this region can be divided into two phases. The first phase (c. 1920s-1970s) involved extensive discovery, when archaeologists un earthed Pleistocene human remains at Yuanmou, Ziyang, Liujiang, Maba, and Changyang, and Palaeolithic industries in many caves. The major Neolithic cul tures, including Daxi, Qujialing, Shijiahe, Majiabang, Songze, Liangzhu, and Beiyinyangying in the middle and lower Yangtze, and several shell midden sites in Lingnan, were also discovered in this phase. During the systematic research phase (1970s to the present), ongoing major ex cavation at many sites contributed significantly to our understanding of prehis toric southern China. Additional early human remains at Wushan, Jianshi, Yun xian, Nanjing, and Hexian were recovered together with Palaeolithic assemblages from Yuanmou, the Baise basin, Jianshi Longgu cave, Hanzhong, the Li and Yuan valleys, Dadong and Jigongshan. -
The Transformation of Chinese Poetry from Tradition to Vernacular
Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, Volume 496 Proceedings of the 2020 3rd International Conference on Humanities Education and Social Sciences (ICHESS 2020) The Transformation of Chinese Poetry from Tradition to Vernacular Qiuyan Song1 1Department of East Asian Studies, University of California, Irvine [email protected] ABSTRACT This thesis mainly focuses on the transformation of Chinese poetry from the ancient time to modern China. It depends on comparing several different poetry anthologies produced by Chinese poets from different periods of time to reveal the transformation of poetry from tradition to vernacular. In the history, this transformation is referred to as the literary revolution of 1917 (orality), suggesting their lyricism’s desire for the vernacular and its attempt to approximate everyday speech in literary Chinese. My study asks what went into the making of this poetic shift or transformation. It discusses the Chinese precursors who once broke the ancient tradition and leaded to the rise of modern Chinese poetry. It highlights the major differences between traditional Chinese poetry and modern Chinese poetry. My larger comparative claim is to discover the history, the awakening of the poets themselves and other reasons behind this transformation to reveal how it happened around one hundred years ago. I call this literary revolution as the transformation which not only brought the liberation of literature forms to China, but the liberation of thought.
