Reinforcement of Oracle Bones Using a Novel Silicone Coupling Reagent for Preservation

Oracle bones are artifacts of great significance and value in the study of Chinese history and culture. Because of soil and bacterial erosion, bones become fragile, and the inscriptions on the surface become blurred, resulting in the loss of historical information on the bones. In early times, scholars often used adhesives for bonding and reinforcement, whereas in modern times, organic and inorganic materials have been used as reinforcement for oracle bones. In this study, the surface of oracle bone was protected and reinforced by a new silicone coupling reagent that could self-polymerize in the format of colorless solution with good antimicrobial properties. The DESPMA was applied to the surface of oracle bone by dropwise addition and curing, effectively protecting it from bacteria and slowing down the yellowing process. The results showed that the reagent could significantly improve the antimicrobial properties of bone samples and reduce the yellowing and discoloration caused by bacterial attack. The reagent barely affected the appearance of the bone samples. These findings are promising and valuable for effective application in bone protection and utilization.

Curating the Chinese ancient book catalogs: Leveraging the dual roles of humanities scholars as experts and users in collaborative practice

AbstractChinese ancient book catalogs are important cultural heritage and academic resources for the study of ancient Chinese history and culture. These catalogs need to be curated so that their value can be fully exploited in today's digital environment. This study is based on a collaborative curation project where eight representative ancient catalogs were curated into a diachronic dataset and tools to discover and analyze the data were developed. We reviewed literature and consulted humanities scholars to derive the characteristics and curation requirements of the ancient catalogs. A collaborative model was proposed based on the requirements to guide the curation process. This model reveals the duality of humanities scholars' role in collaborative curation and depicts main curation activities including metadata and description, appraisal and selection, data processing, developing tools, access and use, and evolution. Lessons learned from the curation practice include two main issues—project personnel and humanities scholars' acceptance of visualization. The study also yields a dataset and a set of tools that can be directly used by scholars interested in knowledge organization and ancient catalog related topics.

Evaluation of color degradation on unearthed silks: A data analytical strategy based on microfading spectrometry

Silk relics, as the typical representative of organic artifacts, are important historical materials for the study of Chinese and world culture. However, these relics are extremely vulnerable to burial or conservation environments which play a crucial role in its acceleration of deterioration. Light-induced color degradation is one of the most serious threats to textiles, resulting in regional fading of these objects. This special threat severely affected their artistic and historical values and produced irrevocable alteration. The evaluation of discoloration of dyed silk relics has been the hot spot of conservation science. Therefore, the regional lightfastness assessment of textile artifacts has been of significance for their color preservation. Recently, microfading spectrometry has been broadly applied for simulating accelerated photofading process and evaluating if the pigment or dye was susceptible to discoloration. With the goal of finely demonstrating color changes in multiple dimensions, the integrated data analytical method is of great necessity. In this work, a data analytical strategy has been developed for elaborately evaluating the fading behavior of dyestuff from the spectral, kinetic, and chromatic aspects with their color change trajectory also provided. Based on the strategy, 10 representative vegetable dyes have been studied. Furthermore, the potential fading behaviors of 3 groups of dyed silks unearthed from different places of Keyakekuduke beacon tower site, Xinjiang were evaluated, compared and predicted. From the results, it was demonstrated that archaeological silk objects unearthed from different places of one site may potentially fade to light in a different manner. Hence, precisely and in-depth monitoring the potential color degradation to light was of great necessity. Therefore, the developed strategy in this work represents a constructive tool and provides the methods for relevant research on other color artifacts.

“SHI JING” AND TRADITIONAL COLOR FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF VISUAL PERCEPTION OF COLOR IMAGE

This article is based on the study of a literary work before the Qin era “Shi Jing” (“Book of Songs”). The article will analyze the combination of perceived color with the literary language before the Qin, realistic reproduction, and symbolic color combination of the color language of “Shi Jing” with a political and educational function through the transformation of visual perception of color. The literary language of color, the “native” traditional colors and the aesthetic characteristics of the Chinese nation will be studied, which is the key to the early formation of the perception of Chinese color culture. At the same time, the color vocabulary of “Shi Jing” and “Songs of Chu” will be compared, aesthetic similarities and differences, as well as symbolic meanings of color in classical works of the south and north of the country will be interpreted. The study of pre-Qin literature and Chinese color culture in three-dimensional space-time, rather than in isolation, deeply explores the aesthetics of traditional colors and the social utility of politics and religion. This need is due to the fact that visual-sensory color research in literary and artistic works is an investigation of the cultural and id “native” color culture demonstrates enormous political and pedagogical utility.

Towards better long-tailed oracle character recognition with adversarial data augmentation

Deciphering oracle bone script is of great significance to the study of ancient Chinese culture as well as archaeology. Although recent studies on oracle character recognition have made substantial progress, they still suffer from the long-tailed data situation that results in a noticeable performance drop on the tail classes. To mitigate this issue, we propose a generative adversarial framework to augment oracle characters in the problematic classes. In this framework, the generator produces synthetic data through convex combinations of all the available samples in the corresponding classes, and is further optimized through adversarial learning with the classifier and simultaneously the discriminator. Meanwhile, we introduce Repatch to generalize samples in the generator. Since tail classes do not have sufficient data for convex combinations, we propose the TailMix mechanism to generate suitable tail class samples from other classes. Experimental results show that our proposed algorithm obtains remarkable performance in oracle character recognition and achieves new state-of-the-art average (total) accuracy with 86.03% (89.46%), 86.54% (93.86%), 95.22% (96.17%) on the three datasets Oracle-AYNU, OBC306 and Oracle-20K, respectively.

Sino-Soviet Relations under Class Discourse: Reading and Criticism of Wuthering Heights in China (1949–1966)

From 1949 to 1966, the period from the founding of the People’s Republic of China to the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, the discourse system that advocated class oppression and class contradiction dominated the fields of Chinese ideology and culture. Concurrently, on the other hand, the relations between China and the Soviet Union experienced changes from ‘close friends’ to ‘enemies’. The reading and criticism of Wuthering Heights (1847), a work from the Western world, became closely related to this mainstream discourse and the Sino-Soviet relations. The political manipulation of culture (literature included) has long been an important perspective of the Chinese cultural studies of this period, which can find a good example in the reading and criticism of Wuthering Heights.

Analysis of Translation of Wuhan Diary: Dispatches from Original Epicenter by Michael Berry in a Post-colonialist Perspective

The West always abashes China by public opinion not only in news report and literature, but also in translation including the ones of the Chinese literature and the ones of diaries, news report, documentaries, government announcement, etc. Researchers have worked on several translations of Chinese literary works; however, they have rarely much worked on diaries. Michael Berry is a professor of Contemporary Chinese Cultural Studies at UCLA and the Director of the UCLA Center for Chinese Studies. He has been a translator who translates from Chinese into English for many years as well, his works include Speaking in Images: Interviews with Contemporary Chinese Filmmakers, A History of Pain: Trauma in Modern Chinese Fiction and Film, and Jia Zhangke's Hometown Trilogy. Therefore, this analysis focuses on the translation strategy of translation of Wuhan Diary: Dispatches from Original Epicenter by Michael Berry, and observe if the translator has demonized China by his translation strategy.
