    Both in History of the Song Dynasty and in Lu Xinyuan's Supplementary History of the Song Dynasty, there is no biography of Liu Dexiu, a poet in the South Song Dynasty. Although Complete Song Poems contains a brief one, it is too simple. Therefore some supplements are given as follows. Liu Dexiu called himself Tui Xuan and once worked as a local teacher in Guiyang. Up to the tenth year of Emperor Chunxi being on the throne, he had assumed the head of the Changsha County. And two yeas later he changed to the head of the Xiangtan County. About from that time to the first year of Emperor Shaoxi being on the throne, he was elevated to the Counselor of the Sichuan Conciliation Commissioner. Soon he was appointed the Prefect of Chongqing Prefecture. After that he was Secretary of High Lawcour, Assistant of High Lawcourt, Director of Supervisory Department, etc, having becoming an important courtier. Later he continued to be active in the officialdom, having such official titles as the Minister of War, the Minister of Personnel, the Scholar of Imperial Library and the Sichuan Conciliation Commissioner until he retired on account of illness.

    he rise of popular reviews on films and televison has become a limelight in recent years. These reviews carry the taste and values of common people in the form of web forums and blogs. What constitutes the main part of the reviewers are "fans", fervent and feverish audience, who are different from common audience. Mutual promotion and deconstruction of "web culture" and "fan culture" lead to the instability of popular reviews on films and televison. These reviews accord with and stick to universal values. Effective criticism should have humanity as its core and embody humanistic concern and the spirit of rationalism.

    Chinese films have been the tool of national ideology to propagandize and to discipline, and film criticism, as "the tool of the tool", has oppressed films forcefully and heartlessly. When Chinese films return to market economy and become the tool of entertainment, film criticism not only obeys administrative decrees but also responds to the demand of market, so the situation of "one servant serves two masters" comes into being. The absence of independent film criticism is the greatest dilemma which professional film criticism encounters.

    On the NonCriminal Nature   of   Euthanasia
    LI Hui
    Journal of Shanghai University (Social Science Edition)    2010, 17 (2): 20-31.  
    Abstract1685)            Save

     Although, formally, euthanasia is similar to intentional homicide, they are quite different in nature. Euthanasia should not be taken as a criminal act. Based on the justification for inhibition of crimes and the justification for inhibition of responsibility in the mainland law system, this essay goes further to make an approach to China' s theoretical basis of the noncriminal nature of euthanasia. Judging by predominant law interest and purpose, or by social worthiness action, we can find a justification for inhibition of crimes in euthanasia. When we make an analysis of euthanasia actors by expectant possibility, we can not expect the patient' s choice of normative natural death or the doctor' s lack of sympathy in face of the patient' s extreme sufferings. Euthanasia is a helpless action, without expectant possibility. It is a justification for inhibition of responsibility. Euthanasia has a nature of noncriminal action.

    The Functional Clearness in Derived Principles for
    Conviction and Penalty According to Law(Zhejiang Higher People' s Court, Hangzhou, 310012, China)Abstract: Up to today, the principle for conviction and penalty according to law has changed from absolute to relative, and from formal to substantial. This transformation displays the spirit beneficial to the accused person, and thus further increases its noncrime function. Correspondingly, the function of the derived principle for conviction and penalty according to law should also be transformed. First, the custom law should not blindly be excluded and its noncrime function should be integrated into the origin of the criminal law. Secondly, the analogy explanation should also not blindly be forbidden, and the analogy explanation beneficial to the defendant should be permitted. And at the same time, for the dilative explanation and the restrictive explanation, whether beneficial or harmful to the defendant, should be determined. Finally, in criminal law interpretations, the retroactivity should not be given all and singular. The retroactivity in criminal explorations harmful to the defendant should be prohibited.

    Abstract: For Marx' s concept of practice, it is vital to understand its transformative and specific provisions. To generalize it does not meet the intention of dialectical materialism. Practice can not be taken as ontology, as the source of existence. Marx' s view of practice has a process of development and changing. It is not appropriate to combine Marx' s view of practice with Heidegger' s ontology and to interpret the "living in the world" by practice. Marxist philosophy is not an abstract, nonhistorical practice philosophy and practical materialism. If ontology is replaced by existence, it is easy to empty existence, to practise object, and to survive subject. It is necessary for establishing Marx' s aesthetics to implement completely dialectics and materialism.

    The Highlighting and Remodeling of the Body Sign in the PostModern Context——A Reflection on the Blurred Identity of Shanghai Culture in Local Entertainments

    Abstract: In recent years, TV entertainments, although having a rapid development, take on a trend of mutual plagiarism, which is quite worrying. As the most powerful evidence, TV entertainment programs in Shanghai are growing more and more homogeneous. In them, it is almost hard to find a trace of Shanghai culture which is characteristic of "all rivers running into sea" or "taking in everything". Thus, Shanghai, once known as focus on versatility and innovation, is gradually losing its distinct urban character and geographical feature in local entertainments. Nowadays, on the one hand, the irrational spread of the body sign continually runs for the cultural consumption of entertainment programs from people' s spiritual level; and, on the other hand, entertainment itself is caught in the plight of imitation, thus body becoming a showy capital and an admirable object. At the same time, the body sign, after continuously being enlarged on the TV screen and becoming a "libidinal shift" platform, stimulates the demand of people' s inherent desire for further expansion. Therefore, how to wake up the innovative sense of TV entertainments, and how to strengthen the identity indication of entertainments, and how to deal with the complex relationship between health, entertainment, desire, spirit and culture, and how to remodel entertainments in business culture by a rational attitude of aesthetics, all these are vital issues needed by TV people to think about and to deal with.

    Citizen Spirits and Shanghai' s Urban Films

    Abstract1592)            Save

    Against a series of China' s contemporary urban film study, this essay considers Shanghai' s urban film as a special case. Although in the process of urbanization, Shanghai is located in the forefront of China, its creation of urban films is thought to be "absent". The topic involved by Shanghai' s urban film is a very complex integration of politics, economy and culture. Different from Shanghai' s urban film, China' s urban film has its specific concept, that is, the ideological content and creative mainstream of "antiurbanization". Base on the different regions of historical, economic, cultural traditions, and creative groups, China' s urban film forms its different value trend, city experience and genre evolution. Shanghai' s urban film also has its unique appearance and path, and its important existence and inadequate development have historical and practical reasons. Using the citizen value as the spiritual core of the urban film is not only inevitable and reasonable but also practical and potential. Undoubtedly, the "better city and better life" as the theme of Shanghai Expo 2010 has made the mutual integration of urbanization and peopleoriented into a possible wordwide goal. Therefore, China' s urban film focusing on antiurbanization is already on the decline. In the new process of urbanization, the creation of China' s urban film is faced with a historic opportunity for transformation and breakthrough.

    Abstract: There is a kind of nonlinear causality between the institutional change in China' s investment in higher education and the investor' s tendency to investment in education. Compared with the tendency to the government expenditure on education, the tendency to the home expenditure on education and to the enterprise expenditure on education is more sensitive to the institutional change in education. Therefore, as a provider of the institutional change, the government should be rational to treat the effect of the institutional change of investment in higher education on different educational investors. The government should, from the perspective of the efficiency and equity of investment in higher education, improves institution continuously, explore the mechanism of the educational costsharing between the government, home and enterprise, and resolve the contradiction between supply and demand in existing institutional investment in higher education, so as to have a positive interaction between the institutional change of investment in higher education and the development of socialist market economy. At the present, what the government need to do is as follows: first, in view of the unsolved contradiction of China' s dual economy, government should have a proper regulation of the existing institutional investment in higher education, and, by establishing new laws and regulations on increasing the supply of the institutional investment in higher education, perfect as soon as possible the grant system for poor students of higher education; secondly, in consideration of the present abundant private capital and the stronger will of the enterprise' s investment in higher education, the government should increase in no time the institutional arrangement of the enterprise' s investment in higher education, and, by way of the service of enterprise' s surplus capital, improve the mechanism of costsharing in higher education; thirdly, as a provider of the institutional change, the government should assume bravely the primary responsibility of the main investor in higher education, increasing funding for higher educational investment and expanding the scale of investment in education, so as to meet the public' s demand for higher education.

    Abstract: As an important turningpoint both in China' s modern history and in Japan' s modern history, SinoJapanese War between 1894 and 1895 changes greatly the entire pattern of East Asian. In face of the climax of the partition of China by imperialist powers, Japan' s ruling class has two kinds of policies toward China, that is, "Shina preservation" and "Shina partition". Although, in advocating grabbing the greatest interest in China, there is no essential difference between them, the formation of two kinds of policy toward China is based on different understanding of international situation and China situation after the war. Besides the sayings of "Shina preservation" and "Shina partition", there is a shortlived "JapaneseQing alliance", which, as the third kind of policy toward China, also attracts the attention of the Japanese government and the public. At the same time, for China having fallen into a serious crisis of nation and society, Japanese media and politicians, from the viewpoint of social cohesion, point out the reasons for China' s weakness. Especially the important Japanese politicians represented by Ito Hirobumi make an analysis and understanding of the Chinese society, which, in turn, give a profound impact on the development and change of Japan' s domestic political situation.

    Private Film Companies and China' s Current Trends of Films

    Journal of Shanghai University (Social Science Edition)    2010, 17 (3): 19-30.  
    Abstract1382)            Save

     In the first decade of the new century, private film companies become more active and make a larger development in film production, market research and so on. With the regulation of the film industry policy and the acceleration of the reform pace, the film market competition is so encouraged that private film companies are permitted to participate in the film industry in a larger way. These companies, vigorous and innovative, are constantly creating a new trend. Thus the business film practice centering on the private film company, as a multifaceted existence, are gradually developed into the pattern and trend of current Chinese films. Such private films companies as Huayi Brothers, the New Screen and PolyBona are just good examples. Their ownership, structure and environment constitute the specific meaning and context of production system and transmission mode. While the transformation of the film industry is, in practice, associated with the ideology of mainstream politics, the theme, policy, pattern, environment and ideology of mainstream films possess a strong, prominent intertextuality. Since private film companies are full of creativity in digging up themes, market orientation and spirit selection, their films, as one of the domestic film entities, are easy to be connected with the potential recognition of new ideas, new techniques and new socialized individuals, possessing a strong ability to innovation and generation. But, however, if they want to find a way to the diversification of times and aesthetics, both reinforcing the strength of industry and market, and developing a new space of film multidimension, it is necessary to regain their forethoughtfulness and consensus so as to achieve more innovative ideas of fast development. In this way, they can, under the context of globalization, promote the further development of China' s film industry and make their new contributions.

    American Scholar Named Chen ShiXiang(Department of Chinese Language and Literature, Fudan University, Shanghai 200433, China) Abstract: An approach to the study of the Chinese and Western poetics by Chen Shixiang, an American scholar, can be made from two levels of macro and micro. In the macro level, by comparison of the Chinese and Western traditions in literature, especially the tradition in poetry, Chen Shixiang concludes that the Chinese literature has a lyric tradition, which is different from the narrative tradition of the Western literature. And in the micro level, he makes a comparative analysis of the words of the Chinese and Western poetics, which is helpful in understanding the similarities and differences between the expressive concepts of the Chinese and Western poetics. Actually, in Chen' s study of the Chinese and Western poetics, macro and micro are not absolutely segmental. Instead, they tend to blend organically. By analysis of Chen's works, the author enables readers to understand fully the lyric tradition of the Chinese poetic as well as the similarity and difference between the expressive concepts of the Chinese and Western poetics, thus contributing to a better understanding and grasping of the connotations and characteristics of the traditional Chinese poetry.

    This essay, by way of the review and summary of the history and its lessons in research for beauty both in China and in the West, gives a revelation of the difference between beauty and ugliness, which depends basically on pleasure or affliction. In the human system, pleasure can be divided into organic pleasure, sensory pleasure and centrum pleasure, of which only the latter two determine the pleasure of beauty. While the object of sensory pleasure constitutes formal beauty, the object of centrum pleasure constitutes connotative beauty. Different from formal beauty, which is free beauty, connotative beauty involves in truth and goodness. For formal beauty, aesthetic effect and aesthetic frequency are inversely; and for connotative beauty, aesthetic effect and aesthetic frequency are proportional. The overall beauty of things is determined by its connotative beauty. The rule of beauty reflects in seeking beauty in the form of universal pleasant, and in seeking beauty from truth or goodness.

     Both Xia Gui (Yu Yu) in the Southern Song Dynasty and Li Gonglin in the Northern Song Dynasty are important representatives of painting whose works give an influence on China' s history of painting. But, for a long period of time, most of their picturescrolls have lost. Although, later, many picturescrolls, according to their prefaces or inscriptions, were considered to be the works of Xie or Li, there are still controversies over such substantive issues as authentic, counterfeit, copy and imitation. Most of handingdown descriptions are ambiguous. As for the description that indicates clearly authentic works or highlevel copies, it is rare. In view of all these, this essay, based on large number of documents and fieldsurvey data, and by using the research methods of finearts, artmarketing, art archaeology, statistics, sociology, philology and so on, has a systematic, meticulous discussion of the handingdown of the socalled authentic picturescrolls by Xia Gui and Li Gonglin that are stored in the Taipei Museum of History, thus outlining basically a general handingdown history of more than 700 years from the Song Dynasty to modern time.

     Like the museum, the expo also uses the practical show as the main form of information dissemination, exhibiting the essence of human creation. Both of them, as a classroom of scientific knowledge and cultural arts, concern about the development of science and culture. All this commonness makes them complementary with each other. While the expo, by virtue of its continuous innovation of showing idea and technology, gives a sustaining influence on the exhibition of the museum, the professional of the museum, participating in the expo organization and melting the museum exhibition in the expo, displays a complementary and interactive development of the museum. In history, many cities hosting the expo take the museum as a part of the expo display, and, after the expo, turn some exhibition halls of the expo into the museum that stores part of the expo exhibits. In this way, not only can the expo promote the development of the museum, but also the museum can spread the spirit of the expo, continuing the mission of the expo. It is because of the internal relation between the expo and the museum that Shanghai Expo in 2010 will take on a situation of the interactive development of the expo and the museum.

     With the rapid development of global media, the concept of global professionalism frequently appears in the academic forum. Especially in the new century, more and more scholars both at home and abroad participate in the discussion. Thus, what is the ethic of global professionalism also becomes a hot topic. This essay holds that, at the present, the most important for the discussion is not to determine what it is. Nor can it find the solution. Instead, the question should be put on how to make it possible. Under the global context of multiple levels and multiple dimensions, it is absolutely necessary to establish a set of ethical specification about global professionalism, such as social responsibility and accountability, truth and objectivity, privacy and publicity, and so on, for which, many important countries in the world attach great importance to. But, however, the most fundamental is to think about such an initial question as global professionalism being viable, that is, presetting the basic natural rights of individuals in the aspects of life, freedom, property, and so on, and, based on these, having some kind of institutional arrangements, so as to guarantee the gradual formation of global professionalism from the strategy.

     Based on the S Village in central Hunan Province, this essay records a brief history of public communication in the countryside from the founding of P. R. China to the eve of the Reform and Opening-Up. At that period of time, mass media worked mainly as a propaganda tool for the CPC and the State. While broadcasting and film became this village' s main form of media, the unidirectional system of infiltration by government at all levels constituted its communication structure, the main function of which was to publicize the Party' s principles and policies, and the content had a strong ideological flavor. At the same time, some of media supplied amusement in cultural life. This system of communication reflects the internal requirement of the state system and resource allocation of the time.

    Goodness as the Desirable Selfishness and
    Goodness as the Public Opinion
    ——A View of Goodness and Evilness

    t is well known that goodness and evilness are man' s basic forms of value. While goodness is worthy of promotion, evilness deserves punishment, which is the essence of character accomplishment. But, what is the meaning for goodness and evilness? Maybe it is not very clear to everybody. A common view is considering goodness or evilness as one of man' s unchangeable, objective characters. The former is reasonable, for the benefit of others; and the latter means appetency, showing selfness. Actually, it is a distortive interpretation. Another popular view in history is using bitterness or sweetness to replace goodness or evilness. While goodness brings about sweetness, evilness produces bitterness. That saying is also unbelievable. Bitterness or sweetness does not derive so much from goodness or evilness as from beauty or ugliness. As a matter of fact, goodness and evilness are determined by public opinions that comprise personal desires. Just as satisfying does goodness, dissatisfying produces evilness. Human beings have their public opinions of transcending national countries and histories, which make up the universality of goodness and evilness. And different histories or nations have different public opinions, which constitute the relativity of goodness and evilness.
