As a leading director of Taiwan new movie, Hou Hsiaohsien, together with other directors including Yang Dechang, has created many influential films with valuable humanistic affinity. These films focus on the revival of cultural subjectivity, estimate ego growth, reflect on historical experience, and examine the hard transition of Taiwan from simple farming civilization to modern industrial civilization. In particular, the works of Hou Hsiaohsien take as root Taiwan native literature and are rich in cultural connotation. As his magnum opus, A City of Sadness displays a poetical picture of history, reconstructs a tragic period that should never be forgotten as part of history, sublimates personal memory into "people' s memory", composes an epic based on individual historical consciousness and brings much beneficial cultural enlightenment.

The general logic of art creation, dissemination and reception is not about commodity but about spirit, because art is a manmade spiritual world unavailable for material exchange. Comparatively speaking, the logic of art marketization and industry has deviated into the logic of paradox. The paradox lies in that human beings create art for spiritual communication rather than for commodity exchange, but such "psychic" art solely serving spiritual exchanges, since human commodity exchange took place, has deviated into a commodity equivalent. Film is a modern spiritual world primarily supported by capital; therefore, the industrial logic of film as art is a special capitaldriven logic about film production, circulation and consumption. Capital control is not only the necessary condition for art industrialization but the characteristic principle of survival that is "inherent" of film. In film researches, the term or concept of film industry fully reflects the dialectical logic of its own. The film industry chain cannot develop without creative ideas. In a certain sense, "creative idea" is a concept "transfer" of "innovation" in cultural industry, which is more about ideology and thus given the new name. Because of its broad market, rapid circulation, rich information and visual display, film is the industry that values creativity most. The difference between film creativity and other art innovation is that the former is more controlled by capital.

Feeling structure is the most important part of "human interest", which is indispensable to the narrative analysis of film suspense. The nature of feeling structure in suspense narration varies from one movie type to another: "frightening" in "thrillers", "expected" in "life comedies", "horrible" in "horror films" , "exciting and surprising" in "spectacle movies", etc. However, if narrative conventions are fixed and stereotyped, they will in turn damage, even deconstruct, the feeling structure of film suspense.

Regarding the four forms of poetry (verses, ditties, odes and songs) as orthodox representatives of Chinese literature, previous works on Chinese literary history tended to focus on the lyricism tradition of Chinese literature. Such interpretation and description of Chinese literature, however, are revised in A Study of the Narrative Tradition of Chinese Literature, whose author believes that the two traditions of Chinese literary history, namely lyricism and narratism, should be both covered in a book on Chinese literary history. This paradigmatic shift is significant, which means a fundamental change of literaryhistory evaluation from monocenter to dualcenter. In other words, the basis on which Chinese literary history has been constructed is radically changed.

Lyricism and marratism are two basic traditions of expression in Chinese literature. Recent years have witnessed some new studies on them, among which those of Dong Naibin are most representative, but little light has been shed on the interactive relation between them in Chinese literary history, which deserves more intensive researches in the future.

Based on panel data instrument model, the paper takes as input variables capital, labor, selfinnovation input and technical import input, and compares their contribution to internal trade and export trade. As is discovered, there is a decrease of return scale in hightech internal trade and an increase of return scale in hightech export trade; hightech industry has capital advantages in internal trade and labor advantages in export trade; the contribution of selfinnovation to internal trade is more than that to export trade; technical import has lower efficiency in being negative to internal trade and irrelevant to export trade. At last, the paper also offers some policy advice.

Based on cogovernance theory, this article researches commonweal organizations in terms of financial information disclosure by evaluating their fulfillment of social responsibility. An information disclosure theory is innovatively proposed from the following four aspects: finding disclosure goals, identifying disclosure subjects, improving disclosure content and selecting disclosure forms. Accordingly, four responsibilities should be clarified in financial information disclosure: upward social responsibility, downward social responsibility, cost management responsibility and investment risk and revenue management responsibility. The research results are expected to help reduce the social cost of commonweal organizations and develop more reasonable charity policies to better promote philanthropy.

This paper reviews recent studies on Practice Ontology Aesthetics and proves Practice Ontology Aesthetics as with humanistic concern. While inheriting the concept of "entity" from Li Zehou's Practical Aesthetics and influenced by Heidegger's Ontology, Practice Ontology Aesthetics takes Marxist Humanology as its most important theoretical basis. Its practical meaning lies in that it brings theoretical inspiration for the humanoriented development of contemporary Chinese literary theory and literary criticism.

Hegel' s interpretation of art and illustration of music are both based on metaphysics and dialectic. Hegel' s philosophy of music, whose core is the relationship between the "internal" meaning and the "external" form, integrates subject and object into inherent subjectivity to examine the nature of music as art. The ideal music is a balance of the "internal" meaning and the "external" form. By discussing the basic connotation of ideal music, the free essence of music and free principles of perceptual factors, the article probes into the relationship between subjectivity and music and argues that music is a main way to achieve subjective freedom.

Japan' s legislation of soil environmental protection has experienced four stages, namely, the construction of legal systems to control farmland soil pollution, the setting of standards to measure soil pollution, the construction of legal systems to control urban soil pollution and the construction of legal systems to control radioactive pollution. Now Japan's legislation of soil environmental protection has born a legislation system with Basic Environmental Law as the center. The core content of this legislation system covers the prevention and abatement of farmland soil pollution, urban soil pollution and radioactive soil pollution as well as a series of environmental standards related to soil pollution. During the legislative process of soil environmental protection, Japan has achieved rich experience, a perfect legislation system of soil environmental protection, scientific standards to measure soil pollution and laws to promptly handle accidental soil environmental pollution, which are of a high reference value for China to formulate the soil environmental protection law.

There are three marks of complements which form predicate complement structures. They are “De(得)”, “Lai(来)” and “Delai(得来)”. These three marks are multifunctional and they appear in structures with the can complement, the modal complement and complement of degree. This paper aims to find the differences among the three marks which is based on describing and explaining the present use of them in Shanghai dialect from the aspects of syntactic diffusion, historical sources and levels, language contact and so on.

"Deverbalization" is a crucial stage in terms of Paris School's interpreting process, also a controversy in interpreting research. The study of bilingual memory representation brings logical links among bilingual proficiency, learning backgrounds and strategies and translation processing routes, which provides a new perspective to the nature of "deverbalization", the differences in accomplishment and the ways to realize it. Firstly, regarding the nature of "deverbalization", it is essentially a conceptmediated processing route, whose realization is restricted by interpreters' bilingual memory representation. Accordingly, transcodage or formbased interpreting is a wordassociated processing route. Secondly, bilingual memory representation models can explain the coexistence of "deverbalization" and transcodage, as well as the extent to which different types of interpreters accomplish deverbalization, which can also be regarded as alternatives to the Triangle Interpreting Model of Paris School. Finally, by analyzing the factors influencing the realization of deverbalization in the perspective of bilingual memory representation, the paper proposes that interpreting training should give priority to the optimization of trainees' memory representations through language enhancement and raising their awareness of flexibly selecting the proper processing route according to the given situation, which serve not only as effective means of accomplishing deverbalization, but also constitute an essential part of undergraduate and preliminary phase of post graduate interpreting teaching.
