The Chinese History of Translation in the Framework of Cultural Communication

Understandings and beliefs about translation activities related to a culture constitute the "translation view" of the culture in a specific historical period. And the history of translation is the intercultural practice of culture and the history of intercultural human communication. In the early history of translation, the translation view of the mainstream culture strengthened the image of the cultural center of the Han group including Confuses’ canons. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to political corruption, people felt disappointed, depressed and helpless in real life and turned to Buddhism for spiritual shelter. Since then, the translation of Buddhist scriptures has been popular. At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, western translation of science and technology emerged, and introduced western spiritual and institutional culture, and new vitality into the development of Han culture.

A New Probe into the Relationship between Jin Sheng, an Important Minister in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and Western Learning and Western Religion

Jin Sheng was an important figure who participated in the political and literary circles actively in the late Ming Dynasty，His blurred standpoint in religious belief is often difficult to verify. Mr. Chen yuan once proposed that Jin Sheng dedicated himself to the church for his whole life since he was baptized between the fourth and the seventh year of Tian qi （1624-1627），whereas Mr. Huang yi nong believe that he might join the church during the second year and the third year of Chong Zhen(1629-1630)，then converted to Buddhism in the fifth year of Chong Zhen(1632).
 Based on the relevant sources ,I will replenish and discuss in detail of former scholars‘s research including both conclusions from the research of Mr. Chen Yuan and Huang Yi Nong. This essay argues that Jin Sheng who lived in a chaotic time at the end of Ming Dynasty，maintained an open-mind，regard the beliefs of Catholicism and Western learning as instrumental way to pursuit the ideal personality， thus to carry out the Confucianist’s aspirations of Self-Cultivation, Family Regulation, maintaining State Governance, bringing Peace to All Under Heaven.

中朝文人笔下毛文龙形象的对比研究

Mao Wenlong is a controversial figure in history. In the historical records, he is insolent, deceitful and inaction, but there is no denying that he was an important figure in Liaodong situation at the end of Ming Dynasty. Contrary to historical sources, Mao Wenlong in most literary works shows positive images. The phenomenon of divergence between literary processing and historical facts is, of course, inseparable from the intention of literary writers. For example, both the Ming Dynasty scholar Lu Renlong's <The Loyal Heroes in the East Liao Campaign> and the Korean Hong Ikhan's <Voyage of Mr. Hwapu> have a lot of ink on Mao Wenlong's positive image. However, the two works are different in emphasis, because of their creative purposes, personal feelings, public opinion and different perspectives, the two authors have different portrayal of Mao Wenlong. On the basis of previous studies, this paper distinguishes the literary creation from the historical records, and analyzes the different aspects of the same character in the two works. Combining the internal and external perspectives, Mao Wenlong's literary image is re-examined through the creation of the same figure by Chinese and Korean literati.

Revival of Ancient Learning at the End of Ming Dynasty and Forming of the Thought of Govern and Benefit People: Concerning Fushe

본 논문은 명말 고학(古學)의 부흥과 경세(經世) 사조의 형성과정을 주제로 하여, 복사(復社)의 활동을 중심으로 살펴보고자 한다. 명말의 사상 사조는 왕양명(王陽明)의 심학(心學)과 공안파(公安派)를 중심으로 한 성령(性 靈) 사조를 중심으로 전개되었다가, 숭정(崇禎) 시기 전후로 문사(文社)를 중심으로 고학의 부흥과 치군택민(致君 澤民)의 경세 사조로 대체되는 변화를 보인다. 이러한 변화를 가져오게 배경을 제도, 사상적인 면에서 볼 때, 과거제도와 사상변화의 폐단으로 인한 경학(經學)의 위기, 심학의 성행, 문풍(文風)과 사풍(士風)의 폐단 등이 그 요인이 작용했다. 한편, 복사는 위로는 동림파(東林派)의 경세제민(經世濟民) 사상을 이어, 고학을 부흥하고 경세 사조의 기틀을마련하는 한편, 청초 경세 실학의 토대를 제공하는 중요한 사상적 가교 역할을 했다. 그러나 명대 사조에 대한 연구는 대체로 명중기 복고 사조, 심학 사조, 성령 사조 등에 집중했고 명말의 경세 사조에 대한 연구는 상대적 미흡한 편이다. 따라서 본고는 명말 고학의 부흥과 경세 사조의 형성과정을 복사의 활동을 중심으로 살펴보고자 한다. 연구내용은 크게 세 부분으로 나누어 고학 부흥의 출현과 배경, 고학과 경세의 형성과 특징, 고학 부흥과 복고(復古), 경세 사조의 전승(傳乘)에 대해 분석했다. 첫째, 고학의 부흥이 출현하게 된 제도와 사상적 배경을 통해유가 경전의 위기, 과거 문풍과 사풍의 폐단 및 이에 대한 문사의 인식과 활동에 대해 분석했다. 둘째, 고학과 경세의 형성과정에서 주로 복사의 고학과 경세 사상을 고찰하고, 고학 부흥의 방향과 복사의 핵심 인물 장부(張溥) 경학 사상에 대해 살펴보았다. 셋째, 고학 부흥의 복고적 성격과 경세 사상의 전승에 관해 고찰했다. 이상의 분석을 통해, 명말 고학의 부흥과 경세 사조가 왜 일어났고, 어떤 주체 세력이 어떤 내용으로 전개해나갔는지가 드러날 것이며, 나아가 고학 부흥과 경세 사조의 전승 문제, 명말 고학과 경학의 학술사적 의미 및 문사의 성격 변화 등을 파악할 수 있을 것이다.

One Drought and One Volcanic Eruption Influenced the History of China: The Late Ming Dynasty Mega‐drought

AbstractThe late Ming Dynasty Megadrought (LMDMD) (1637–1643) occurred at the end of Ming Dynasty and is the severest drought event in China in the last millennium. This unprecedented drought contributed significantly to the collapse of the Ming Dynasty in 1644, casting profound impacts on Chinese history. Here, the physical mechanism for the LMDMD is studied. Based on paleoclimate reconstructions, we hypothesize that this drought was initially triggered by a natural drought event starting in 1637 and was then intensified and extended by the tropical volcanic eruption at Mount Parker in 1641. This hypothesis is supported by the case study of the Community Earth System Model‐Last Millennium Experiment archive as well as sensitivity experiments with volcanic forcing superimposed on natural drought events. The volcano‐intensified drought was associated with a decreased land‐ocean thermal contrast, a negative soil moisture response, and a weakening and eastward retreating West Pacific Subtropical High.

Abstract: Through a large number of data analysis, this paper analyzes the different influences of COVID-19 on the traditional art and the new media art in China. China’s industries of new media art have made a rapid development during the pandemic. The industrial growth of the new media art has enabled them to play an important role in safeguarding employments, and to assume greater social responsibility in fighting the epidemic. With the help of internet technology, new media art can quickly adjust to the broadcast plan, timely send excellent artistic content to the audience who stay at home through the network, and help them vent their fear and soothe their wounded hearts in face of the pandemic.

Reconstruction of the summer rainfall regime for the last 500 years in China

The anomalies of summer rainfall (June–August) for the last 500 years in China have been estimated according to the relationship between the instrumentally observed rainfall and the degrees of floods and droughts for the last 25 years. It is shown that calculated anomalies of average rainfall for 10, 20 and 30 year periods have sufficient accuracies. The long-term climatic variations for the last 500 years are discussed based on the estimated anomalies of summer rainfall of 25 stations over the E part of China for the last 500 years. For example, there were prolonged drought in the N of China at about the end of Ming dynasty, but there were extensive floods in China for the early times of Qing dynasty. The anomalies of rainfall for the last 500 years were averaged along latitude zone and their decade running mean were formed. It was found that the long-term variations are very clear. The 80 year cycle is predominating. Besides, an about 200 year cycle is also shown in the charts of 50-year mean rainfall anomalies. It is indicated that both above mentioned cycles relate closely to the solar activity.
