Transboundary Spread : Essential Characteristics of Modern Crisis

Though interdisciplinary research has become a popular term in recent years ,the academic community holds various opinions on its meanings and is divided on many basic issues concerning the study . Therefore ,understanding its academic background and theoretical focus has become a fundamental premise for advancing interdisciplinary research both theoretically and practically .Due to the semantic diversity of the study and its diversity in research findings ,the selection of research methods and the completeness of literature data influence the overall understanding of the study and its developmental process . This article proposes to categorize interdisciplinary research publications by combining literature analysis and archival research methods while also considering research themes and the frequency of citations . Among the literatures of interdisciplinary research ,articles that haven't been referred directly in interdisciplinary research but are nevertheless frequently quoted by interdisciplinary researchers constitute the academic background of the study . These literatures fall into three main aspects : production mode ,research method of scientific knowledge and development of situated learning theory .Similarly ,frequently quoted literatures that contain the wording″interdisciplinary research″make up the theoretic framework ,while the less quoted compose the branches . Since the 1970s ,interdisciplinary research has advanced its discussion on various themes ,but has not yet reached a consensus on major issues such as its definition ,categorization and interdisciplinary integration .In recent years ,however ,the interdisciplinary research community has focused their attention on the integration between different fields of study . A new field of interdisciplinary studies is gradually taking form . Explorations into this new field lie in the measurement and evaluation of integration between various fields of study ,which has emerged as the primary difficulty in interdisciplinary research and will be the trend for future studies .

Academic Background and Theoretical Focus of Interdisciplinary Research

Though interdisciplinary research has become a popular term in recent years ,the academic community holds various opinions on its meanings and is divided on many basic issues concerning the study . Therefore ,understanding its academic background and theoretical focus has become a fundamental premise for advancing interdisciplinary research both theoretically and practically .Due to the semantic diversity of the study and its diversity in research findings ,the selection of research methods and the completeness of literature data influence the overall understanding of the study and its developmental process . This article proposes to categorize interdisciplinary research publications by combining literature analysis and archival research methods while also considering research themes and the frequency of citations .

The Return Rate and Spillover Effect of Education in Rural China

In China rural areas ,education can effectively improve farmers'o verall personal qualities and help them promote their productivity and income level as well .Besides ,education has strong spillover effect because the education that a farmer gets has a positive impact on other people around him/her . Despite a wide range of existing researches ,fewempirical analyses in recent years have been made of the rateof return toeducationfrom the perspectives of industry or gender withfirst-hand data .Incalculating educational spillover effect ,there are two difficulties ,one of which is that it is hard to set up an analytical framework of spillover effect of education in rural areas ,and the other oneis that it is hard to collect data related to the spillover effect of rural education .Based on the latest data from100 villages of 10 provinces across China ,this paper attempts to evaluate the educational returns of agriculture and non-agricultural industry and of male and female residents by applying the Mincer Earnings Function .In addition ,it tries to define and analyze the spillover effects from the perspectives of the same village and the same industryviaLucas Model of HumanCapital Spillover .The results show that education has great effect not only on farmers'income ,but also on the income of other groups related to farmers . (1) Education has greater impact on their non-agricultural income than agricultural income . Ceteris paribus ,a farmer will increase his non-agricultural income by5 .61% compared to4 .28% increment in his agricultural income if he receives one more year of education .(2) Men will gain higher rateof return to education than that of womenin rural areas ,whether it be agricultural or non-agricultural income .To a man ,each one-year further education received will increase his agricultural income and non-agricultural income by about4 .85% and7 .18% respectively .As far as awomanis concerned ,theeffect of education on her income is not significant . (3) There are significant spillover effects of education in rural areas . That one year of education added to all the farmers in the village will increase the average farmer's income by6 .21% .When added to all the farmers in this profession ,the average farmer's income will increase by8 .13% .The research highlights of this paper are the analysis of the return rate of education from the micro perspective by using first-hand data from July ,2010 to July ,2011 of rural household surveys in one hundred villages in ten provinces across China ,i .e . Heilongjiang ,Shandong ,Anhui ,Shanxi ,Sichuan ,Inner Mongolia ,Hainan ,Jiangxi ,Zhejiang and Guizhou . This paper also tries to obtain external evidence of education from different perspectives ,i .e . from the redefinition of rural groups and from the analysis of the effect of education levels of rural groups on their income ,in order to minimize wrong conclusions caused by inaccurate definitions of rural groups .

Transference of ''Juxtaposition'' as a Poetic Term from West to East

The term''juxtaposition''emerged in modern Western arts with the rise of the anti-rationalism movement .This method of modern aesthetics is characterized by situating side by side discrete particulars without any form of connectives to represent the real world and the true relation of the objects .It is the modernist poet Ezra Pound who has fully developed the aesthetic idea of''juxtaposition''in the field of poetry .The technique of''juxtaposition''was implicit in his early works in the discussion of energizing poetry .Pound started to search for''language beyond metaphor''from the very beginning of his poetic career .The idea of''juxtaposition''was clarified and confirmed by the aesthetics of traditional Chinese poetry and Chinese written characters . Pound expounded that the''juxtaposition''of seemingly unrelated particulars were capable of suggestingideas and concepts through their relations and he gradually formulated his unique mode of''juxtaposition '',w hich has offered a new approach to the reform of English poetry . Ezra Pound's employment of''juxtaposition''has aroused the interests of scholars of comparative poetics .The overseas scholar Wai-lim Yip further discusses the poetic term of''juxtaposition''in the Chinese context to highlight the features of traditional Chinese poetry .His main arguments are that Chinese poetry is influenced by the underlying ancient Chinese philosophy of seeking the correspondence between nature and human world ,and the relationships between''juxtaposed''images in Chinese poetry are the moreexpressive for being left unsaid since they resemble the relation of objectsin the real world . Yip's elaboration on''juxtaposition''contributes to a new dimension to the appreciation of traditional Chinese poetry . In the context of comparative poetics ,the appropriate adoption of poetic terms and modes from another culture is of vital importance .It is our hope that this case study of the transference of''juxtaposition''f rom West to East may provide a new perspective in this area .

The Discourse on the Feature ,Function and Correlation between Zhiwen and Mingwenin Epitaphs :A Case Study on the Unearthed Epitaphs of the Tang Dynasty

Epitaph is generally composed of two parts : Zhiwen,which was called Xu in the ancient times ,and Mingwen ,or simply Ming . These two parts are different forms correlated with each other . However ,from ancient times to now ,different scholars have had different opinions . Some hold that the distinction of Zhi and Ming originated from the standard and non-standard style of epitaph . Some think that Zhi and Ming are the same thing . As their relationship is still puzzling many scholars ,it is an urgent task to clarify it . The progressive richness of research results on text styles and newly unearthed epitaphs ,especially the sustained excavation of the epitaphs of the Tang Dynasty ,which can be considered as prevailing and mature ,provides more materials to the researches on the features ,functions of Zhiwen and Mingwenas well as their correlations . The first step to clarify the relationship between Zhiwen and Mingwenis to find out the main purpose of the ancients in using epitaphs . There are two main purposes :one is recording events and the other is praising the virtues of the dead . These two functions are undertaken by Zhiwen and Mingwen respectively . From the beginning of the adoption of epitaph ,Zhiwen aimed at recording events ,while Mingwen aimed at singing the praises . Related with the purpose of creating epitaph ,and seen from the process of evolvement ,Zhiwenand Mingwen can reflect the different styles and functions of epitaphs . Certainly ,the distinction between Zhiwenand Mingwenis closely related with their origins . This paper tries to distinguish between the respective features and functions of Zhiwen and Mingwenin the forms of the texts and the origins of creation .As for text styles ,Zhiwenis more like an essay ,and the narration style is more flexible ,while Mingwen is rhymed and more like poetry .As for the creation origin ,Zhiwenis partly influenced by historical biographic literature ,while Mingwen originated from Zhongding Ming of remote ages . All these are obvious distinctions between Zhiwen and Mingwen. However ,an epitaph consists of both parts ,so they are closely related with each other . This paper induces and summarizes their correlations systematically and believes that their relationship can be reflected from four aspects : Mingwenis repetition or abbreviation of Zhiwen;Mingwen is supplement of Zhiwen;Zhiwen and Mingwen have their respective particular emphasis ,but their aims are the same;Zhiwen and Mingwen blend into one harmonious whole . This study may help us gain a new view on the complicated situation that the dividing line of writing styles after Wei ,Jing and South-North Dynasties fused and separated in the Tang Dynasty .

Textual Research on the Ci-poets of Dasheng Musical Ministry in the Song Dynasty

As a literary group ,the intercourse was relatively infrequent among the ci-poets of Dasheng Musical Ministry(DSMM) .Though contemporary scholars have made a breakthrough in the research of DSMM's ci-poets ,some problems have been under-researched due to lack of historical records .Due to the frequent errors in historical materials of the Song Dynasty ,it is not easy to uncover the truth .Although much effort has gone into the Song Dynasty's textures ,quite a few doubts have remained .For example ,it is incorrect that in1111 A .D .,as was recorded by the privately compiled history of the Song Dynasty ,Xu Shen became the Dianyue ,a deputy executive of DSMM .According to my textual research ,fromSeptember1106 to1107 ,Xu Shen served as the Yueliing ,a high ranking official of DSMM .Then he became the chief executive of Changzhou County in October 1108 .There is plenty of evidence which supports the notion that in October 1108 ,he was appointed as the Dianyue .With regard to Chao Duanli's official position ,various versions were found in different history books ,such as the Xielülang ,the Anxieshenglü,the Xielü and the Zhizhuan ,four different names for junior official posts of DSMM .By investigating the policy of Xufu ,according to which a demoted official could be promoted to his original rank depending on his performance ,and by tracing the origins of various records ,the truth has been revealed in this paper .In late June ,1113 ,Chao Duanli was summoned to take the duty of Zhizhuan Wenzi .But this was a temporary assignment ,and his identity was still a demoted official .He wasn't officially appointed until a month later .However ,he died froman unexpected illness before he could take the post of Anxieshenglü.It is impossible that Chao Duanli served as the Xielülang as some books have claimed ,because it would otherwise contradict with the policy of Xufu .This kind of error in some history books was caused by intentional tampering with the original Chao Duanli's epitaph .It is even far more correct to claim that Chao Duanli served as the Xielü,because it mixed the Xielülang and the Anxieshenglütogether ,which were two different official positions of DSMM .As for when Moqi Yong assumed the Zhizhuan ,there were three recordings in the privately compiled history of the Song Dynasty ,which were in1111 ,from1105 to1106 and from 1119 to1125 .By investigating the Sanshefa ,an imperial examination systemin the Song Dynasty ,and by referring to relevant historical materials of the Song Dynasty ,it is proved that Moqi Yong assumed the Zhizhuan in May1113 ,not in1111 ,and not from1105 to1106 ,and not from1119 to 1125 .In August 1119 ,Moqi Yong had been promoted as the secretary in charge of Chama Department of Shanxi and Sichuan Distric ,a governmental organization which was supervising the commerce of tea and horses between the Song Dynasty and the minorities on the border .Another example is related to Tian Wei's position and his time in DSMM .Most researchers only mentioned Tian Wei being appointed as the Dianyue ,but failed to recognize his other official positions in DSMM ,such as the Zhizhuan of Yanyue Office(a temporary institution responsible for reforming the banquet music) ,the Guangouguan in charge of Xiuzhi Dayue Office(a temporary institution of modifying the court music) ,the Dianyue ,the Yueling ,the Dianyue and the Da Siyue (a chief executive of DSMM) .And it was also incorrectly claimed by some history books that Tian Wei served as the Dianyue in1105 or in1118 .It has been proven in this article that Tian Wei had been working in DSMM from January1114 to November1119 .He was first appointed as the Zhizhuan of Yanyue Office in January1114 ,then the Guangouguan of Xiuzhi Dayue Office in August1118 ,next the Dianyue for the first time in September 1118 ,the Yueling in August 1119 ,the Dianyue once again in October 1119 and the Da Siyue on November 13th ,1119 .The last example in this paper is related to Jiang Han .Contrary to some history books of the Song Dynasty ,it is proven in this study that Jiang Han had actually been the Xuanren ,a junior official in local government ,when he came into DSMM ,assumming the Jingguan (an official title of the central government) ,instead of a common person .Furthermore ,it is in May1113 that Jiang Han began to serve as the Zhizhuan ,instead of 1111 as was recorded by the Song Dynasty's history books .Jiang Han left DSMM for the post of the deputy executive of Mizhou County between1116 and1117 .By textual research ,this paper points out some errors of historical books in the Song Dynasty regarding the terms and the actual positions of DSMM's ci-poets .

The Spreading of Songs of Chu :Before10th Century

During the middle and later periods of the Warring States ,Qin State regarded Chu State as its most competitive opponent ,and spared no effort in weakening Chu State .As a result ,King Huai of Chu became a cheated ,humiliated ,and miserable king ,mocked by people throughout the world ,and finally diedin Qin State .The people of Chu State suffered an intense shame mixed with deep hatred ,unable to give up on their desire to exact revenge for hundreds years .The spread of Zhaohun( Summonsof the Soul) and Dazhao( TheGreat Summons) written by Qu Yuan ,whose main purpose was″to defend the King and strengthen the nation ,″had a profound social foundation . We can see that Jia Yi had at least read Lisaoand Jiuzhang( Nine Pieces) before he wrote DiaoQu Yuan Fu(Ode of Mourning Qu Yuan) in 175 B .C .Incomplete parts of Lisao and Jiuzhang were found among the books buried with Marquis Xiahou Zao of Ruyin in165 B .C .In 139 B .C .,King Liu An of Huainan wrote Lisao Zhuan(Memoir of Lisao) ,expounding Lisao,Jiuge( Nine Songs) ,Taiwen( Heavenly Questions) ,Jiuzhang( Nine Pieces) ,Yuanyou( Far-off Journey) ,Buju( Divination) ,and Yufu( The Fisherman) .In the Zongxu( Preface) ,he remarked that Qu Fu(Qu Prose) was as splendid as the Sun and the Moon ,and reported to Emperor Wu of Han it should be stored in the royal library .About a hundred years later ,Liu Xiang sorted through the books in the royal library and recorded twenty-five odes by Qu Yuan .Around the year120 B .C .,Wang Yi's Chuci Zhangju ,which made syntactic and semantic analyses of Songs of Chu ,had16 volumes(one source states it was 17 volumes) ,including ten works by Qu Yuan and Song Yu ,six or seven of which belonged to the Han Dynasty .It later formed the system of Songs of Chu that we read today . During the time of Emperor Wu of Liang ,Liu Yao wrote a volume of Lisao Caomu Shu (Explanationof Plants in Lisao) . Liu Xie wrote ten volumes of Wenxin Diaolong to which people attach great importance as it both conducts glossarial explanations and differentiates between styles .What is more important is that the two learned scholars were good friends of Prince Zhaoming ,and they devoted themselves to the compilation of thirty volumes of Wenxuan (The Anthology) .The masterpieces of Qu Yuan's and Song Yu's thus mounted the great ship of Wenxuan ,filled away with the pushing wind of official examination system of Tang and Song dynasties ,and served as textbooks that must be read by scholars .It is so widespread and influential that a single pamphlet of Songs of Chu is not comparable . Though the texts and annotations are essential to the spreading of Songs of Chu ,the importance of chanting cannot be underestimated .The biggest problem is that because of the differences between ancient and modern phonetics ,the rhyming is not in accordance with the original ones . Qu Yuan used the official standard spoken language of Chu State ,called literary language ,but did not exclude dialect in his rhymes ,which can be proved by the fact that its rhyming coincided with the rhyme categories of The Book of Songs .Eight hundred years later ,when Liu Xie read aloud Songs of Chu with the official standard spoken languages of Qi and Liang ,he claimed ,in surprise that ,″the wrong rhymes are actually too complicated ,″t hough his words are believed to have been a bit exaggerated .As China has a vast territory ,the speech sounds in literary language and dialects are significantly different .Modern Wu dialect follows the phonetic system of ancient times .As early as the last years of Liang ,Shen Zhong ,from Huzhou ,Zhejiang ,first advocated″to bring rhyming sentences into accordance″and Lu Deming advocated ″to bring rhymes into accordance ,″whose background resources were nothing but dialect of Wu district .ChuciYinyi( Explanationsof Pronunciation and Meaning of Songsof Chu) written by Zhi Xian(Dao Xian) is a typical work making use of the Wu dialect to handle rhyming problems of Songs of Chu .If some of the pronunciations were not in accordance with the rhyming of Songs of Chu ,it would then follow that the sound of the official standard spoken language at that time ,which can be proved by the dialect in Boluzhen Town of Yuyao area in Zhejiang province ,where the famous Huiri Temple is located .Modern Wu dialect should be exploited to help the chanting of ancient poems . The spread of Songs of Chu consists in our strong will to carry forward and develope Qu Yuan's spirit in Lisao.Many men of principle and virtue have devoted themselves to the pursuit of the ideal ,whose glorious deeds are heroic and moving .Many men of letters have created and recreated songs and poetries ,dramas ,paintings and calligraphies that are so abundant and various that they have enriched our culture to a great extent .It is a great task for us to annotate Qu Yuan's works and his spirit in Lisao,and summarize the experience and lessons of the past in order to help push forward the renaissance of Chinese culture .

Genealogy and Communication Mechanisms of the Literary Canon

The generation of a literary canon is a continuous process of acceptance and communication in time and space ,in which both purely literary and academicelements as well as non-literary ,non-canonical and even secular powers are involved .Only by constant self-generation and self-enrichment through continuous absorption of the political and aesthetic energies from both the conventional and the elite ,can a literary text possibly become a classic .The task of genealogyis to demonstrate how a text is shaped in the historical process ,and to reveal how traces of meaning are inscribed in the text through dialogue or the wrestling of various energies within it .The tracking of complex routes in the generation of a literary canon should therefore be the starting point of genealogical analysis . A literary canon has strong diffusibility and absorptivity .It can absorb a text that predates it and make it an organic part of its own in the form of a pretext .During the process of dissemination it can inspire writers in their subsequent creation of a series of post-texts at different levels .Along the horizontal timeline ,any classic literary text has more than one pretext or non-text ,which might appear irrelevant and scattered without any sign of canonicity but has actually accumulated massive social and cultural narrative energy to constitute the preconditions for a classic literary text .Along the vertical axis of space ,we find that discourses in a classic text have at least three strata : the generally-accepted core text (or main text) ,the subtext and the hypertext ,etc . A literary canonin this senseis not an isolated or independent text but a group of texts or discourse relations ,or more precisely ,a″field ,″with fights and wrestles among various literary and non-literary powers withinit .It is these dialoguesand tensionscreatedin thefightsandwrestles that become the most fundamental and profound reasons for the formation and dissemination of a literary canon .A literary canon in this field not only undergoes the whole process from nascence at its birthplace to renaissance in a foreign context ,but also experiences transformation in different forms of media ,from oral ,written and printed to audio and visual texts .In the contemporary context ,only by seeing a text as a field ,by examining the inherited relations within a literary canon ,and by exploring the interactions between a literary canon ,the social discourse system ,and communication media ,can we truly appreciate the value and significance of a literary canon from the dialogue between texts ,from the dialogue between the carriers of different media within a text ,and from the dialogue andinteraction between texts and audience . From a methodological perspective ,the research into the genealogy and communication mechanisms of a literary canon also avoids an arbitrary split between the text and its contexts ,and builds a bridge between literature and the society ,the elite and the public as well as its commercial and aesthetic values .

An Impact Study of the Entrepreneur's Human Capital Development on the Comparative Advantage Enhancement :An Empirical Analysis Based on China's Provincial Panel Data
Adam Smith's theory of comparative advantage which takes deepening the division of labor as the main channel has dynamic and endogenous characteristics . The theory can be turned into real comparative advantage and the entrepreneur is the key conversion principal . The study finds that the important tie between the enhancement of comparative advantage and the entrepreneur's human capital development is the effective expansion of market size ,i .e . The improved performance of the entrepreneur's″learning-by-doing″and the resulting endogenous development of the entrepreneur's human capital play a key role in market expansion and comparative advantage enhancement . Assessing the depth of labor division and the enhancement of comparative advantage on the basis of changes of market size may lead to a breakthrough in the quantitative analysis of the entrepreneur's human capital development and the dynamic comparative advantage enhancement . By Nelson-Phelps and Lucas human capital mechanisms ,the entrepreneur's human capital is includedin the framework of two different types of production function analysis . In this way ,the impact of entrepreneur's human capital development on the comparative advantage enhancement can be examined by constructing the stochastic frontier production function model and C-D production function model . Relevant research indicates that the fortune indicators of stock properties are not only better than the income indicators of flow properties ,but also better reflect the promoting function of entrepreneur's human capital development in market expansion . The study of typical provinces with different development paths also shows that the performance differences in entrepreneurs'″learning-by-doing″are an important foundation for the heterogeneity of entrepreneur's human capital and an effective approach to its further development . The performance of″d oing″may affect the effect of ″learning″a nd further affect the extent of entrepreneur's human capital development . Therefore ,the performance of″learning-by-doing″may have an important impact on human capital development and may be constrained by time ,space and personal endowment ,etc .Chinais in the course of transition and development ,so the constraints of the time dimension are mainly reflected in the process of market-oriented institutional change and the constraints of the spatial dimension are mainly reflected in the performance differences of″learning-by-doing″in the typical provinces due to location factors . With the expansion of market size ,the performance of ″learning-by-doing″can be improved and the entrepreneur's human capital can be developed . The positive interaction between the two is the key to the enhancement of China's comparative advantage . Therefore ,deepening the market-oriented reform and perfecting entrepreneur's human capital incentives can effectively″demonstrate ,″″activate″ and″develop″ the entrepreneurship . Furthermore ,lowering market access barriers can boost entrepreneurs' pioneering spirit and sustainably improve their initiative and capacity .

Location Advantage, Agglomeration Economies and Competition for FDI among Chinese Regions

The geographical distribution of FDI in China is highly uneven and mostly concentrated in eastern China ,which shows a core-periphery pattern . This is actually a macro outcome of the micro location and subsequent investment decisions of multinational corporations . The decisions of multinational corporations are not only subject to their types and strategic objectives ,but also depend on the location advantage in each region ,especially depend on various incentives provided by local governments . The empirical studies on FDI in China mostly regard the spatial agglomeration of FDI as a result ,based on which they have researched on the reasons behind the agglomeration ,like market potential ,tax incentives ,infrastructure ,labor costs ,human capital ,FDI stock etc . Owning to higher productivity and greater mobility of multinational enterprises compared with domesticcounterparts ,local governments under fiscal decentralization has launched acomprehensive fiscal competition topursue FDI ,which ranges from tax incentives competition to competition in fiscal spending for productivity-enhancement .From this perspective ,FDI agglomeration can be seen as the outcome of a multi-game among multinational corporations and the local governments . However ,the spatial agglomeration of FDI ,is not only an outcome of this game ,but also affects the intermediate process of this game . In short ,FDI agglomeration itself can generate agglomeration economies and attract the follow-up FDI .Thus ,regions with larger amount of FDI stock (or larger agglomerationeconomies) may take advantage of this to set higher tax rate or provide lower subsidies .So far there is little theoretical and empirical research on how agglomeration economies affect the competitive strategy of local government in chasing FDI . Local governments can neither control the types and purposes of foreign investors ,nor can they change the location advantages which are generated spontaneously . However ,they can manipulate taxes ,subsidies ,structure and quantities of fiscal expenditures . Considering the operability ,taxes and subsidies become the most preferred policy tools for local governments competing for FDI . To some extent subsidies can be regarded as negative taxes ,so taxes and subsidies ,in theory ,can both be treated as taxes . Relying on the Markov perfect equilibrium framework ,we construct a model to analyze how the agglomeration economies and location advantages affect the tax competition equilibrium . Considering the strategic interaction among regions and other spatial linkages in FDI competition ,we have adopted a spatial panel econometric model . Using the panel data of China's 29 provinces from1993 to 2009 ,our empirical analysis indicates that : (1) Regional tax competition do exist ,and taxation is still an important factor affecting spatial distribution of FDI but its role has been weakened along the time;(2) Western provinces rely on tax competition more heavily and attract more elementary FDI which are more sensitive to tax incentives;(3) Eastern provinces with advantages of location and agglomeration economies could levy higher taxes on FDI toclaim the rent of agglomeration;(4) The existence of agglomeration weaken the tax competition among provinces ,and the average tax rates for FDI in the eastern and western provinces are both increasing with time .

Exploring the Endogenous Links and Exogenous Shocks Based on Efficiency Improvement :A Case Study of Zhejiang Province
Technical progress and paths of technical efficiency evolution may be interconnected between different industries .As the result of technologyconduction between different industries andits spillover ,the technical progress in one industry may bring a shock to the technologies in other industries . As the transformation and upgrading of China's economy has gradually become an important goal and trend of future development ,there is an increasing need for research into the relationship between the different paths that industries take in their technical and efficiency evolution . Given the importance of technical progress and the impact channels of technical progress and technical efficiency evolution ,afeasiblepolicy option is to select appropriate leading industries to drive forward the development of other industries and the technical progress of the entire economy .The aim of this research is to provide evidence to support such a policy option . Taking into account the typicality of the industrial system and the urgency of industry upgrading in Zhejiang Province ,we selected its top ten industries as a sample .Applying the DEA method ,we break down the quarter changes in their productivity into progress at the technical frontier and technical efficiency evolution . Then the Global Vector Auto Regression (GVAR) model is used to observe the conducting trends of technical progress and of efficiency evolution as endogenous variables among different industries and to analyze the impact of different exogenous shocks on the technical progress and efficiency evolution in different industries . First of all ,we have found that although on one hand the technical efficiency changes of most industries have a role to play in promoting technical progress ,on the other hand ,the progress at the technical frontier has resulted in a decreasing trend of average technical efficiency in the same industry . This reflects a complex relationship between technology and efficiency . Secondly ,there is no clear evidence of reciprocal technology-conduction existing between different industries .On the contrary ,we have found that the technical progressin oneindustry has brought down the speed of technical progress in other industries on average .This may reflect the defects of our market mechanism . Thirdly ,trade openness has positive impacts on improving technical efficiency in some industries ,but have an overall negative impact on the technical progress in all industries . The flow of information and technology brought by opening up has made possible the better useof existing technology ,but it has also brought fierce competition ,which makes the technology spillover theory become unrealistic . Fourthly ,we have found that the exchange rate ,interest rate ,fluctuations in world oil prices ,and other exogenous shocks not only have a direct impact on industrial output ,but also on the technology and efficiency of the industry to some extent . This reflects the cost of opening up from another angle : more risks and volatility from the outside world .

Between J .J .Rousseau and I .Kant :A Study on the EducationalPhilosophy Thoughts of J .H .Pestalozzi

Johann H .Pestalozzi was recognized as one of the most influential educators in modern Switzerland and Europe . He was not a philosopher ,but he had a unique educational philosophy . During the process of the modernization of Western education ,he highlighted human nature and relevant educational problems and launched an in-depth educational philosophy thinking and exploration . Pestalozzi proposed a macroscopicanalytic framework starting from the point of view of philosophy of education ,which divided mankind into three basic types :″p rimitive person″ (″natural person″) ,″social person″a nd″m oral person .″Pestalozzi tried to put the individual into specific social environment and aimed at building up the people who could adopt and constantly innovate modern social life ,hence he made outstanding contributions to laying the main theme of modern education .Like Jean-Jacques Rousseau ,Pestalozzi emphasized on perceptual and emotional factors and treated them as the starting points and basis of education ,but he disagreed with Rousseau in that the″natural person″was most kind-hearted ,and he stood in the point of view that the″natural person″s hould be educated to the″m oral person″with autonomy and advocated self-consciousness . On the basic view of human nature ,Pestalozzi and Immanuel Kant share the same view .They ,to some extent ,both have Rousseau as their own starting point ,and they both regard the question″w hat is human being″as the ultimate issue in the theory ,so the human nature issue is the question that Kant and Pestalozzi had repeatedly asked ,it is the question they spent their live thinking and trying to answer .They mainly focused on the individual ,but in combination with the vision of the society . Thus ,to speed up the natural″disenchantment″ process and ,therefore ,in the Kantian philosophy and the philosophy of education in Pestalozzi ,″human nature″i s the overall logical clue . Through the analysis in Natural Process of Human Development ,Pestalozzi had recognized the interaction of people and the environment ,and also grasped the dialectical relationship between″p rimitive person ,″″s ocial person″and″m oral person ,″a nd thus had gone beyond the thought of Rousseau .However ,in moral education ,Kant focused on the decisive significance to emphasize the development of″good will ,″w hile Pestalozzi tended to use the emotional power of″love″to influence children and all people . Emotional education occupies an important position in the thoughts of Pestalozzi . It is seen as the starting point and the main way of moral education prior to intellectual and labor education;in this respect ,Pestalozzi may be more influenced by Rousseau . In-depth analysis on the educational philosophy of Pestalozzi will help the academic circles to grasp the spiritual nature of this ''educatorof mankind  ''.

Minister of Education Fu Zengxiang in the Republic of China
In the December of 1917 ,Fu Zengxiang ,who once served as the Educational Administration Officer in the Zhili Province and won wide praises in the education upsurge in the late Qing Dynasty ,was appointed as the fourteenth Education Minister of the Republic of China . Till he quit in the May of 1919 ,there had been two presidents and three prime ministers successively in the chaotic political situations .Fu Zengxiang had been appointed as the Education Minister for three consecutive times ,and was the only one among this frequently changing group . During his first term ,Fu Zengxiang took the strategy that advanced steadily on personnel ,inherited frompredecessor Fan Yuanlian's ruling idea ,upheld theconcept of primary school first ,and took measures to promote the development of primary education ,normal education and industrial education .During his later two consecutive terms ,Fu Zengxiang advocated to put great attention on secondary education .Under his auspices ,the Education Ministry continuously held three national education conferences by following Cai Yuanpei's democratic decision-making idea ,and extended the ruling idea of primary education being first to the new thought of middle school being backbone and other education being taken into account .To concentrate on carrying out the resolutions of the three education conferences ,and still under his auspices ,the Education Ministry took measures to establish a consistent educational supervision system throughout the central and local governments ,adapting to the development of the female education requirements ,and making positive responses to the cultural and educational reforms excited by the New Culture and the May 4th Movements .All these promoted the refinement of the education system and facilitated the second peak of the development of education in the Early Republic of China .

Cai Yuanpei's Dissemination of Western Moral Education Theoriesduring the Late Qing Dynasty and Early Republic of China
Cai Yuanpei's translation ,introduction and dissemination of western moral theories in China underwent three stages during the late QingDynasty and early Republic of China .Thefirst stage was during the Reform Movement when he embraced the evolutionary ethics and utilitarian theory after reading classics of western learning translated by Yan Fu and the Wan Kwoh Kung Pao founded by missionaries . The second stage lasted from1901 to1906 ,when Cai disseminated Kropotkin's anarchism and mutual aid ethics ,immersing himself into the new education reform and revolutionary activities . The third stage covered his stay in Germany from1907 to the1911 Revolution .He read extensively in western thoughts ,culture and science ,which made him discard the values advocated by anarchism . He also started to work on the translation and introduction of Paulsen's A System of Ethics ,and Kant's Moral Rationalism . In 1910 ,he uncovered the heritages of ancient Chinese ethics ,and ,employing western values and scientific approaches ,he wrote The History of Chinese Ethics . The book has groundbreaking significance in that it has not only provided a scientific classification of the developmental stages of Chinese ethics ,and distinguished the history of ethics fromethics in terms of their research objectives and fundamentals ,but also found universal values in ancient Chinese ethics and Chinese tradition that would gain general acceptance in the age of modernization . As the first Minister of Education of the Republic of China ,Cai Yuanpei actively promoted moral education reform in both system and practice . In 1912 ,he put forward a new education policy under the public regime by integrating Confucian ethics with western values and ethics .In his new educational system centering on civic virtues ,he shifted the perspective of educational narrative in the late Qing Dynasty from monarch-subject to nation-citizen .Employing the Kantian idea of phenomenal and noumenal worlds ,he expounded the dual goals of actuality and transcendency of civic moral education . He opposed religious education in civic moral education and made the famous statement that religious indoctrination should be replaced by aesthetic education .In the two text books ,the New Self-Cultivation Textbook for Elementary School which he editedin collaboration with Zhang Yuanji in1904 and the Self-Cultivation Textbook for High School which he compiled independently in the early Republic of China ,Cai showed his attempts at exploring the practical system of civic moral education . In them ,Cai not only fully acknowledged the structure of Confucian self-cultivation ethics ,but brought new meanings to civic virtues under the new regime by giving high priority to social morality ,especially national ethics and professional ethics in moral education . This paper studies the formation of Cai's moral knowledge and ideology by looking at his translation and introduction of western moral education theories during the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China . This perspective not only explains the major underlying forces and ideological resources that helped to initiate and promote his new education reform in the early years of the Republic of China ,but also accounts for the internal logic of moral revolution during the New Culture Movement .

On Verb's Basic Construction

A construction defined in Cognitive Construction Grammar is a form-meaning paring ,a symbolic unit .Constructions with different meaning and generality inherit from or dominate others to form the linguistic hierarchical network . Verbs are not independent polysemous words but are involved in specific argument-structure constructions representing events .A verb and its frequently co-occurring and readily evoked nouns form a composite symbolic unit .With its special event schema and gestalt effect ,it can categorize other participating components in forming its inheritance instances .This unit is called verb's basic construction(VBC) . An investigation into the polysemy of Mandarin verb″chi″(eat)shows that the meaning change is connected with the interaction between the verb and different nouns collocating with it and shows how inheritance sentences are categorized and constuctionalized with metaphor and metonymy construals .Strictly speaking ,this meaning change caused by the interaction occurs on all the participating components ,but not on the verb alone . While a VBC is a private construction for a verb ,each of numerous VBCs can participate as a component in one super-verbal construction ,which is ,therefore ,a public construction and more abstract than VBCs . This type of construction can further be classified into two subtypes : ones profiling VBCs'b ackground roles and ones with special functions . According to Goldberg's Construction Grammar ,the VBC qualifies as a construction with concrete roles . The construction deserves special attention for the following reasons . First ,the return from verb's lexical polysemy to its constructional polysemy will display clearly meaning extensions and extension routes caused by the interaction between construction participants ,including entrenched chunks and new meaning inference . Second ,VBCs form the basis of the linguistic network ,since their usage frequency is higher by far than when they participate in super-verbal constructions and in them more meaning extensions occur than otherwise . Third ,the display of VBCs'p articipation in higher-level constructions will show ways and results of their interaction and integration ,such as addition and fusion .Fourth ,different degrees of typicality that various VBCs or VBC groups show in their above-mentioned participation and interaction can ,therefore ,be shown in a broader view . Fifth ,unlike other schools ,Cognitive Construction Grammar argues for wholism . Therefore ,argument for the VBC is only natural and logical ,while failure to do so is groundless and needs correcting . The notion of VBC may be generally accepted all the time ,but the demarcation between syntax and lexicon advocated by traditional grammar and TG Grammar is deep-rooted and thus has caused the illusion that VBC establishment is unnecessary . The advent of Cognitive Construction Grammar made it possible ,but attention and consideration must be given before it is well-established .Just for this purpose the present research is conducted .

The Construction of Knowledge Immediacy in Instructional Discourse
In the1960s and1970s ,linguists and educationalists in the West started doing research into the typology and functions of the language of teaching ,or teacher discourse .An abundance of literature was published which discussed how the linguistic forms of teacher discourse are related to the instructional context ,content ,goals and outcomes ,as well as to their influence on the participants of the teaching process and their relationship with other discourses in educational institutions .While the structural ,social and cognitive features of teacher discourse have been extensively discussed ,there has been scant research into the effect of pedagogical discourse on the learner's attitude towards the cognitive goal ,and even less into the learner's affective identification with the subject they are taught .The aimof studying a subject is not just acquisition of the ability to recognize and represent knowledge;more importantly ,it is the development of an appropriate attitude towards the subject and an application of the attitude to subject-related activities ,i .e .,a permanent change in attitude .While linguistic and educational circles in China have in recent years shown a growing tendency to give more prominence to the cultivation of the affective goal ,the lack of research into teacher discourse has been a hindrance to the practice and realization of the goal . Instructional discourse functions not merely to decode and communicate knowledge ,it also transmits cognitive affect .In this paper ,the immediacy construct of instructional discourse is advanced to analyze the mechanism inherent in discourse by which knowledge is transmitted and the immediacy features that characterize instructional discourse .The theoretical frameworks of conversation analysis and of the appraisal theory of systemic functional linguistics are applied to reveal the de-authoritarian ,contextualized ,dynamic and affect-generating features of immediate instructional discourse ,highlighting the dialogic ,participatory and affective aspects of knowledge . Anti-immediacy forms of discourse include specialized symbolic codes and claims of uniqueness and certainty which build the authority and hierarchy of knowledge .Interactive conversation analysis shows that in discourse sequences ,teachers continuously make use of metaphors of affect to maintain and renew their immediacy discourse ,bringing a cumulative effect to overall immediacy .It seems that to a large extent ,the interactive forms of instructional discourse influence a learner's affect for and value judgment of the knowledge being taught .It is therefore necessary to take knowledge immediacy as a key proposition and take the teachers'actual discourse practices as important contexts for affect cultivation when considering the discoursal composition of knowledge immediacy .This discussion is expected to be highly relevant for practical instructional discourse .The paper ends with an empirical study of a classroom case from the perspective of immediate instructional discourse .
