Rectifying Names Is a Must——Xun Zi’s Linguistic Ideas in Zhengming

In China, Warring States Period was imbued with chaos of wars and the whole society was in a state of ferment. The disordered phase in ideological area, as the most direct reflection of the change, was characterized by that all the old ethical standard had been badly weaken, even failed to explain the moral facts. In terms of common people, they were confused and puzzled by the questions as "what is language?" and "what is the standard of speaking and behavior?" Some ancient scholars pinned these problems upon the reversal of "ming" (名) and "shi" (实). As a result, to rectify names and to clarify the name of ethics became a must for reconstructing the old proprieties and system. Among those scholars and thinkers, Xun Zi firstly proposed Zhengming to state the relationship between a name and the thing it represents in a systematical way. This essay only sheds light upon the reason of rectifying names: to distinguish the rank and differentiate the similarities and differences("明贵贱,辨同异")which is the must of "rectifying names".

Orientalism and Heart of Darkness

Heart of Darkness was written by Joseph Conrad and published as a whole in 1902.The story begins on a British ship"the Nellie"moored on the coast of the Thames.It mainly talks about what Marlow sees and thinks when he begins his journey up to the Congo Riveres and reveals a turning process of a white colonizer called Kurts who is at the very beginning,an idealistic white colonizer trying to bring"civilization"and"progress"to the Africa but in the end falls into a greedy,cruel person.The novel,on the one hand,describes the terrible life of African peple and reveals the tyranne,greed of western colonism and stong racism;and on the other hand,it also shows readers a strong orientalism towards the Africa.So my purpose of the paper is to analyse how Orientalism is revealed in the Heart of Darkness.     

Death and Regeneration:On D. H. Lawrence’s Bavarian Gentians

Eliot."Bavarian Gentians"is one of his masterpieces, which was written in the last few months of his life along with some other poems on death, heaven and hell, including The Ship of Death, Glory of Darkness and Song of Death. The mythological poem, a bit mystic and surreal, embodies the view of Lawrence on death. This paper is trying to give a brief analysis on the images and theme of the poem.     

天才诗意的一面

Near the end of his life,Pablo Picasso predicted to a friend he would be remembered as a "Spanish poet who dabbled in painting, drawing,and sculpture. "The most famous artist of the 20th century was certainly joking.Picasso (1881-1973) knew he would be forever identified as the figure who rejected Renaissance traditions, ushering in a complex new relationship of the artist to the visible world and the audience. Pablo Picasso' s writing-done in the raw,unpunctuated style of the Surrealists-receives its first major translation into English in a new volume of poetry.

The Change of Consuming Habits after the Second World War

The main character Janie Crawford is definitely a typical representative of feminism and feminist movement and as a women who successfully achieved her self-consciousness, she has been commenting and criticizing for a long period of time. This research paper will analyzes how Janie achieves her self-awakening in the man-dominated society through Janie’s childhood and her three periods of completely different marriages.

Thematic Structure and the Realization of the Discourse Function of The Little Prince

In the 1940s, The Little Prince, a French writer Antoine De Saint-Exupery, was translated into more than 100 languages since its publication, deeply loved by children and even adults. Although The Little Prince uses the most common and simple words for the children, the author gives them a deeper meaning behind the simple words. This makes the fairy tale in the plain text under a thick poetic and symbolic meaning. In this paper, the author tries to study The Little Prince with the theory of the?matic structure, which provides a new perspective for the analysis of children's literature. It aims to examine how these"simple theme","multiple theme"and"clausal theme"promoting the development of novel discourse coherence and constructing a co?herent discourse, in order to help readers better understand the novel better grasp the characteristics of the characters.     

Loading System for Full-Scale Heavy-Duty Support Node Test with Multi-Directional Loading Requirements

This paper presents the design, analysis and experimental study of a loading system for heavy-duty nodes test based on a large-scale multi-directional in-plane loading device, which has been used in a full-scale heavy-duty support node test. Test loads of the support reached 6 567 kN with multi-directional loading requirements, which outrange the capacity of the available loading devices. Through the reinforcement of a large-scale multi-directional inplane loading device, the innovative design of a self-balanced load transferring device, and other arrangement considerations of the loading system, the test was implemented and the loading capacity of the ring was considerably enlarged. Due to the heavy loading requirements, some checking computations of the ring and the load transferring device outranged the limit of the Chinese national code "Code for Design of Steel Structures (GB 50017—2003)", thus elastic-plastic finite element (FE) analysis was carried out on the two devices, and also the real-time monitoring on the whole loading systems during experiments to ensure test safety. FE analysis and test results show that the loading system worked elastically during experiments.

Identification of waterflooded zones and the impact of waterflooding on reservoir properties of the Funing Formation in the Subei Basin, China

This paper describes the identification of waterflooded zones and the impact of waterflooding on reservoir properties of sandstones of the Funing Formation at the Gao 6 Fault-block of the Gaoji Oilfield,in the Subei Basin,east China.This work presents a new approach based on a back-propagation neural network using well log data to train the network,and then generating a cross-plot plate to identify waterflooded zones.A neural network was designed and trained,and the results show that the new method is better than traditional methods.For a comparative study,two representative wells at the Gao 6 Fault-block were chosen for analysis:one from a waterflooded zone,and the other from a zone without waterflooding.Results from this analysis were used to develop a better understanding of the impact of waterflooding on reservoir properties.A range of changes are shown to have taken place in the waterflooded zone,including changes in microscopic pore structure,fluids,and minerals.     

A VOICE FROM HELL AN EXPLICATION OF

"THE LOVE OF J. ALFRED PRUFROCK" "THE LOVE SONG OF O.ALFRED PRUFROCK",one of the earlier poems that brought T.S. Eliot fame,is a voice from hell. In thispoem,the poet expressed his dissatisfaction with life, its dullness, its monotony its repetition and its decadence. The title itself captures the reader. It is a love song; but the name Prufrock is prosaic, awkward, with hints of prim ness or effeminacy, and with its suggestion of modern American business in the initial and first name form. The epigraph(from Dante's lnferno ⅩⅩⅤⅤ-ⅠⅠ,61-6)suggests that prufrockis in a kind of hell and that he is addressing some one who is there too; but his hell is the modern life. He might be revealing to his fellow sufferer----the reader----his secrecy and inner-most confli-
