Today's Zi Zhan,MR.Li Zhuowu: The Talk Regarding the Signification of Putting Li Zhi and Su Shi on a Par
YUAN Guang-yi
2012, 28(4): 22-31.
Abstract(377) PDF(6)
Abstract:
TYuan Zhongdao acclaimed Li Zhi as the Modern version of Zi Zhan, thus the basis and the signification of putting Li Zhi and Su Shi on a par is worth further probing.Su Shi was highly valued by the late Ming Dynasty scholars, especially by Li Zhi.This research will first certify the high regard for Su Shi from Li Zhi, proceeded with the discussion regarding Li Zhi's representative status in Su Studies during the prevalent period of late Ming Dynasty.The antagonism between late Ming Dynasty scholars and Moralism can be traced back to the Luo Shu party dispute of Northern Song Dynasty, in fact Li Zhi was treated as the "anti-moralism", actually inherited Su Shi's spirit about the inverse of Shu Studies and Luo Studies.However, Li Zhi's learning was handed down in a direct line from Yang Ming, although Yang Ming's Xin studies were against Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, there is no doubt that both of them belong to the same lineage of Moralism and see "the study of human nature and destiny" as their basis.Moreover, Li Zhi's "anti-moralism" only reflects in anti-Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism but the compliment he showed for Su Shi states the combination of Yang Ming's Xin Studies with Luo Shu's spirit.The reinterpretation regarding the studies between Li Zhi and Su Shi will broaden the visual of Confucianism.

YANG Xin-zhang
2012, 28(4): 45-51.
Abstract(299) PDF(6)
Abstract:
In their studies of multimodal text,many scholars have been devoted to the study of text-image relations.Some scholars regard verbal and visual as two semantic systems working together.Yet,both have their own specific forms but working together to fulfill their function.To others,text-image relations are similar to the logical-semantic relations between clauses.The relation of text to image can be found in the cohesion of the elements.Learner's English-Chinese dictionaries are a useful tool in English language learning.With the rapid development of modern science and technology,the modes used in learner's English-Chinese dictionaries have changed.Illustrations have been widely used.Following Halliday's(1985,1994) idea about logico-semantic relations and cohesion,and in reference to the models proposed by Martinec(1998), Royce(2007) and Martinec & Salway(2005),this paper is an attempt to explore the relationship between illustrations and definitions in learner's English-Chinese dictionaries,and illustrate,based on statistical analysis,the complementarities of text and image in learner's English-Chinese dictionaries.
