The article is devoted to a very relevant topic – borrowings in Russian language. Borrowing is one of the most popular and widespread way of the language enrichment. It brings new words and meanings that create the possibility to express emotions and opinions by means of different lexical structures. Nevertheless, new borrowings bring new meanings that can substitute the original words and the process of borrowings slowly lead to the changes in the language and meaning itself. In this article two sources of borrowings are studied: Chinese and Spanish languages. These two languages are the most popular languages in the world. They are studied by millions of people every year that makes them the main resources of other languages enrichment apart from the English language. In the article all the borrowings from each language are grouped according to their lexical meaning. The history of these borrowings is studied and descried. The conclusion about the influence of each language on Russian language is made at the end of the research. Keywords: language, words, borrowing, cultural heritage, Chinese, Spanish, Russian.

  • Research on the Publishing of Art Song Collection
    Frontiers in Art Research ISSN 2618-1568 Vol. 3, Issue 3: 56-59, DOI: 10.25236/FAR.2021.030312 Research on the Publishing of Art Song Collection Haoran Sun School of Music, Jiangsu Second Normal University, Nanjing, China, 210013 Abstract: Since the publication of art song collections began after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, it reached a climax in the early 21st century. In terms of writing style, from a special collection of individual art songs to a collection of art songs by several composers to the integration of art songs by composers in different periods, the types are rich and diverse. The publication of the collection of art songs provides us with convenience for learning and understanding French art songs. Keywords: art song collection, publishing, writing style 1. Introduction The publication of several collections of art songs published in the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China has a close relationship with students studying in France. In the 1930s, Chinese musicians represented by Zhou Xiaoyan and others went to France to study and study Western music. In this process, introducing French art songs to China became the responsibility and mission of this group of overseas students. In 1938, Zhou Xiaoyan entered the Russian Conservatory of Music in Paris to study vocal music. In 1946, he held a solo concert in Luxembourg. Among the repertoires he sang was French art songs. In December 1946, at the "China Night" club in Paris, Zhou Xiaoyan and Li Xianmin sang French art songs and Chinese songs.

URL: http://tiny.cc/AR722 Review by Priscilla Roberts, City University of Macau n the first two decades of the twenty-first century, for officials in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the United States alike, the most significant of all bilateral diplomatic relationships is that with the other country. China’s phenomenal industrial development since the late 1970s made it into the world’s secondI largest economy, set to surpass the United States in net size—though nowhere near rivalling it in per capita income—within less than a decade. Wealth has been rapidly translated into international power and influence, with speculation rife among academics, journalists, and political commentators around the world that within two to three decades China will inevitably surpass the United States and replace it as the global hegemon.1 Some assume—citing earlier international balance of power shifts from the Peloponnesian War onward—that any such transition may well be the outcome of outright war between the existing hegemon and the challenger.2 Others take a less sensational or apocalyptic view, anticipating that China—despite various unresolved internal problems—is likely to be a major, but far from the only, great power in a world characterized by increasing multipolarity.3 1 See, e.g., Michael Pillsbury, The Hundred-Year Marathon: China’s Secret Strategy to Replace America as the Global Superpower (New York: Henry Holt, 2015); Martin Jacques, When China Rules The World: The End of the Western World and the Birth of a New Global Order, 2nd ed.

    Professor Hsue-shen Tsien (Qian Xuesen in the Chinese form) (1911 – 2009) Qian Xuesen (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) This is a Chinese name; the family name is Qian (Tsien). Qian Xuesen (Tsien Hsue-shen) Born December 11, 1911 Hangzhou, China Died October 31, 2009 (aged 97) Beijing, China Fields Aeronautics Institutions California Institute of Technology Alma mater National Chiao Tung University Massachusetts Institute of Technology California Institute of Technology Doctoral advisor : Theodore von Kármán Known for: Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Qian Xuesen was a scientist who made important contributions to the missile and space programs of both the United States and People's Republic of China. Historical documents in the U. S. commonly refer to him with the earlier family-name last spelling, Hsue-Shen Tsien or H.S. Tsien. During the 1940s Qian was one of the founders of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology. During the Second Red Scare of the 1950s, the United States government accused Qian of having communist sympathies, and he was stripped of his security clearance in 1950. Qian then decided to return to China, but instead was detained at Terminal Island near Los Angeles. After spending 5 years under virtual house arrest, Qian was released in 1955 in exchange for the repatriation of American pilots captured during the Korean War. Notified by U.S. authorities that he was free to go, Qian immediately arranged his departure, leaving for China in September 1955 on the passenger liner SS President Cleveland of American President Lines, via Hong Kong. He returned to lead the Chinese rocket program and became known as the "Father of Chinese Rocketry" (or "King of Rocketry").
