    On the Aesthetic Implication of Tang Legend's Poetic Realization -- By Taking "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" and "Legend of Everlasting Sorrow" as Examples

    The novel has always been in a lower position in the history of ancient Chinese literature precisely because it does not belong to orthodox literature and can develop freely without restraint. As a representative, the Tang Legend as "Synthesis of Various Styles" in the Tang Legend's art system is an inevitable trend in developing ancient novels. Accordingly, it has inclusive and expansive internal tension that can absorb the advantages of various literary genres and forms. By analysing the politicisation of the Tang legend, this essay will take the famous Tang legend pieces Legend of Everlasting Sorrow and the narrative poem of this story, Song of Everlasting Sorrow, as examples and discuss them around the three parts, Shicai, Shibi and Discussions, thus showing the characteristics of the poeticisation of Tang legend. Through analysis of Shicai, the Tang legend are a body of lyrical works that, although partially drawn on historical records' veracity, also introduce unexpected turns to keep and attract readers' attention. By referring to the Tang Dynasty's talent selection method, these two works show the talent of fiction, imagination, and exaggeration through the use of the Shibi. The Discussion could even relate to abstract truths and accomplish the goal and needs of social propaganda. Combining these three factors ensures that the Tang legend represented by these masterpieces, Legend of Everlasting Sorrow and Song of Everlasting Sorrow, remains a source of inspiration and a significant reference for literary and artistic works.

    Exploration of Shareholder Delisting in Limited Liability Companies: Centered on Human Harmony

    The limited liability company has exceptional human qualities; it has fewer shareholders and operates on a smaller scale, which makes its owners more prone to disagreements. Its distinctive corporate structure also makes shareholder removal a peculiar legal phenomenon. However, there is currently a gap in the building of this system in China's pertinent laws. In order to propose a more workable and practical way to enhance the shareholder exclusion system, this paper aims to clarify the fundamental idea of the shareholder exclusion system, discuss the necessity of constructing this system in China, and explore the reconstruction of substantive norms, specific procedural rules, and clear legal consequences based on the advanced legislative experience in Germany and judicial practice in China.

    Comprehend the Women in the Middle Ages from The Parisian Household Book

    The late Middle Ages is a crucial period in the history of Western Europe for the transition to modern times. The social outlook of this period has changed a lot compared with the previous times. People who were in this context have generated their own expressions corresponding to the society at this time, mainly manifested as the change of views and values. This paper is aim at selecting the material called The Parisian Household Book (Le Ménagier de Paris) to do primary source analysis, then extensively collecting other documents about women, marriage and family in the Middle Ages for a more comprehensive interpretation. Through the research, we know the living conditions of urban women in the late medieval ages and the requirements of family or society to them from this instruction manual. Meanwhile, the following conclusions are drawn: in medieval marriage, both husband and wife had rights and obligations to fulfill. Some men with high social status taught their wives to manage the family well in order to maintain the stability of their class. For women, those who came from the countryside to the city were willing to accept such guidance, because these might become favorable tools for the improvement of their social standing.

    An Evaluation of Herodotus’s Historical Descriptions of the Scythians to What Extent Are Herodotus’s Literary Works on the Scythians Credible?

    Extensive research papers discussing the ancient Greek cultures or nomadic tribes refer primarily to one particular source – Herodotus’ Histories. A series of observations and oral information from various Persian territories were taken into account in this well-known work. As contemporary scholars use Herodotus' jobs, they often regard his accounts as accurate descriptions and come up with their conclusions respectively. Such a perspective should be considered a severe issue since history is a serious study of past events from all aspects of human society. Reckless approaches can, in terms, arise from wrong interpretations. This article focuses on Herodotus' descriptions of the Scythians and argues that Herodotus' works are invaluable in better understanding the archaeological findings. However, several mistakes are found in his accounts compared with other current archaeological findings. While directly citing from his works, scholars should make necessary cross-references to avoid potential errors.

    The Impact of Flow State and Immersion in Video Games

    Flow is a psychological concept that is often used in the design of applications and video games. This concept means that the user will go into a state of unawareness, which scales depending on the level of flow that they are in. In video games, the developer can vary the way that players experience this state or change the group of people that the game is suited for. Players can also change the level of flow by making decisions that will make their gameplay later on either easier or harder. This paper will discuss three factors that determine how and who will be able to enter the flow state in different video games. These factors are general factors, game-decided factors, and player-decided factors. The conclusion after analysis is that these factors embedded in video games cause the player to have optimal experience, or flow state.

    The Evolution of Interaction Between China and the Da Qin Based on Chinese Historiography

    In this essay, I will discuss about the changing relationship between China and the Roman Empire in the long stream of history from Chinese historiography. While doing research I found that in Qin dynasty two countries have direct interaction with each other, but faded in Tang dynasty. Multiple historical resource written in Tang dynasty were overlap with previous source written during earlier period like Qin. As we all know, China and Roman empire are both really strong empires over their regions. If their influence each other in economic or politics perspective, the influence is incalculable. Nowadays, there were only few research researching on this topic; however, the effect of this research would be extremely valuable. The interaction between these two countries not only will bring effect on themselves in political and economic impact, but also bring to those countries along the silk road connected between China and Da Qin, so it would be very significant researching on this topic.

    Aristotle’s Account of Eudemonia and the Defence of Altruism

    Aristotle’s Theory of Eudemonia is based on a profound perception of humanity. This theory is consistently practical for ordinary people, albeit in discussions about happiness and its components or explanations of varying lifestyles. Aristotle’s conception can be used to achieve a realistic ‘the best life’, which largely contrasts other eudemonic theories that can only realistically be applied by philosophical or divine individuals. In this essay, it will be argued that self-interest and other concerning factors exist with Aristotle’s theory, even though Aristotle himself never refuted the claim that his theory is profoundly egoistic. The self-interested aspect of Aristotelian theory is only relevant to how individuals perceive humans in general. Nonetheless, other concerns (such as how individuals treat others and the outcomes of their actions) are legitimate. Aristotle’s most significant achievement in this field was his promotion of virtue as a means of resolving any potential conflict between individuals’ personal interests and the outside world.

    The Enlightenment of Taoist Philosophy Wisdom to the Present Age

    In recent years, global issues have become a research hotpot, while scholars aim to cross the differences between different cultures through equal dialogue, seek universally recognized value principles, and establish a better world order. As one of the sources of Chinese ethical and moral culture, Taoist culture provides rich cultural potential and modern enlightenment for solving the problem of globalization. Guided by the literature research method, combined with the case study method and the qualitative analysis method, this paper explores the intellectual influence of Taoist philosophy in combination with the current situation of modern society. The influence of Taoism is multifaceted. For national culture, we can't just stay in the external form of national culture, which is just an extension of national culture. To truly understand and disseminate Chinese philosophy, we must protect and develop its connotation and extension at the same time.

    Research on the Commercial Value and Artistic Value of Video Games

    Video games, as a relatively new but increasingly mature art form, gradually have a different value than other art forms as they develop. Video games can only be treated properly if the players are fully aware of their multifaceted nature. So the topic of this paper is the value of video games. This paper will try to solve the problem through multi-angle analysis and the experiential summary method. It can be concluded that the game's value is primarily comprised of its commodity and artistic value. As a commodity, games do make a lot of money for game companies. As art, games are indeed artistic and even have a higher dimension than other art forms.

    Yi Sheng Character Used in New Practical Chinese Reader Textbook (Volume 1-4)

    In view of the current situation that the teaching of Chinese characters' pronunciation is relatively separated from the font and meaning in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language (TCFL), this thesis puts forward a plan to introduce the concept of "Yi Sheng character" in Shuowen Jiezi based on the fundamental, practicability and innovative of the New Practical Chinese Reader Textbook (Volume 1-4). This thesis analyses all the Yi Sheng characters and Yi Sheng components mentioned in the "Basic Chinese Characters" section of the New Practical Chinese Reader Textbooks (Volumes 1-4), discusses their associations with modern pronunciation by ancient or modern pronunciation, traditional or simplified Chinese character and phonemic component, in a bid to summarise the associations in meanings between the Yi Sheng components and the Yi Sheng characters. In this way, foreign Chinese learners can gain a holistic understanding of the pronunciation-font-meaning combination of basic Chinese characters.
