Analyzing the Characteristics of Buddhist Art in Japans Asuka Period: A Case Study of Horyu-ji Temple
Authors: Chen Kehan , Xu Jiamu
Published: December 2023

In the 6th century AD, Buddhism was introduced to Japan from China through the kingdoms of Baekje, Silla, and Goguryeo. Concurrently, the distinctive artistic styles of the Northern and Southern Dynasties of China, which combined traditional Chinese elements with influences from the Western Regions, also made their way into Japan. This had a profound impact on the development of Buddhist art during the Asuka period, establishing itself as a dominant force in Japanese cultural aesthetics. The artistry of the Asuka period, with its classical charm and exquisite craftsmanship, continues to be admired today. This paper takes Horyu-ji Temple as a case study to explore the characteristics of Buddhist art in Japans Asuka period and the influence of Chinese culture on it. The research primarily focuses on three aspects: the architecture of Horyu-ji Temple, the sculptural representations of Buddha, and the paintings. As an emblematic representation of early Buddhist art in Japan, Horyu-ji Temple also stands as a significant testament to the influence of Chinese culture on Japanese art, contributing significantly to the cultural development of Japan.

Feminism in Vera Chytilovs Daisies: Montage, Collage, and Symbol
Authors: Yao Yingtong
Published: December 2023

Vera Chytilovs Daisies offers a particular case to view how montage, collage, and symbolism could contribute to feminist cinema. Daisies was subject to censorship when it was first released for its rebellious story which strongly challenged the social norms of that time. Although it has been widely regarded as a surreal exploration of nihilism, it explores the deconstruction and reconstruction of female identity. This study adopts a feminist theory to investigate how this movie communicates its feminist ideals using a defamiliarized visual language system. Specifically, the study analyzes certain scenes in the movie with a particular focus on how Daisies challenges conventional gender roles and creates a feminism narrative. It figures out that montage expands the inner space of these characters; collage allows for the fragmentation of their identities; symbolism such as apple trees, apples, and other motifs carry additional thematic possibilities of temptation, sin, and female resistance. These stylistic choices and visual strategies present a fresh female perspective, encouraging the audience to question social norms and embrace unfiltered viewpoints. By upending conventionally male-centric ideas, the movies defamiliarized visual language reinforces feminist messages and helps us comprehend its complex artistic and thematic issues.

The Construction of Body and Consciousness in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
Authors: Zhao Dingyi
Published: December 2023

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is a significant work of science fiction that explores the concept of the post-human condition. In his literary works, Philip K. Dick undertook the task of reconfiguring the physical and cognitive aspects of both human beings and replicants. One perspective suggests that there is a growing trend towards cybernetization in the human body, while another perspective argues that the physical composition of replicants is progressively resembling that of human beings. In contrast, there is a growing interconnection between human beings and replicants within the realm of mind and emotion. This research aims to examine the correlation between the physical, technical, cognitive, and subjective aspects of human and replicant bodies, thereby offering an interpretation of this novel concept via the lens of post-humanism. The act of constructing blurs the distinction between humans and androids, hence giving rise to an ethical dilemma wherein both humans and androids vie for subjective experiences. The establishment of a novel topic incorporating both human and non-human entities, with the aim of critically examining anthropocentrism, can be seen as a potential solution to address this issue.

Structuralist Perspectives on the Wholeness and Synchronie of Non-Linear Film Narratives --The Film Babel as an Example
Authors: Lin Yingmeng , Ni Xinyu , Xiang Siyao
Published: December 2023

Structuralism is a methodology that originated in the nineteenth century, which asserts that all human activities are constructed rather than natural or essential and, therefore, emphasises the study of structure and regularities in terms of larger systems. In this perspective, cinema uniquely affects the viewers emotions or perception of what is on screen through the use of a variety of codes, symbols or conventions that resemble the structure of language. At the same time, non-linear narratives are an important and special category of cinematic, the so-called non-linear narrative being a film in which two or more perspectives and scenes are narrated in alternating and disrupted chronological order. This article uses textual analysis to dismantle and sort out the theme, spatial and temporal construction, audio-visual elements, and more in Babel, a typical non-linear narrative film, to prove that the two basic features of structuralism theory - wholeness and synchronise - are the most important and special category of non-linear narrative films. It argues that even though the non-linear narrative film has the fractured nature of spatial and temporal construction, the core still serves the film as a whole. The non-linear narrative of film breaks the traditional narrative mode of smooth narrative in the past, and is now an important exploration and innovation in the history of cinema from the perspective of structuralism.

Authors: Ren Xuyan , Liang Yidan
Published: December 2023

The myth of motherhood in movies often portrays mothers as great, loving, self-sacrificing figures. In recent years, with the continuous development of feminist theories, more and more women with awakened subjective consciousness and anti-patterned images have appeared in Chinese mainland womens films, portraying more diversified and complex mother-daughter relationships. The reflection and scrutiny of the myth of motherhood have led to the construction of three distinct mother-daughter relationships, such as antagonism, interdependence, and inversion, in recent years domestic feminist films. Based on Beauvoirs feminist theory and Lacans mirror theory, combined with Laura Mulveys feminist film theory, this paper analyzes the dissolution of the myth of motherhood and the reconstruction of mother-daughter relationship in domestic womens films, and explores the individual female image of self-awareness awakened under the relationship between mothers and daughters in mainland womens films in recent years, which is helpful for subverting the patriarchal-centered discourse and constructing a rich and unique mother-daughter relationship. This is significant to the subversion of patriarchal-centered discourse and the construction of rich and diverse images of women on screen.

Authors: Ye Jinze
Published: December 2023

Regarded as one of the greatest American poets in the twentieth century and the prominent poet of the Imagist, William Carlos Williams approaches his poetic world by the special use of images and syntax. In his poems, he invites the common and small things in everyday life as images. By the irregular arrangement of line and stanza breaks, these things are endowed with richer and deeper meanings which is far more than what is shown, open to readers to interpret. The syntax itself in Williams poems is poetic, and the integration of images and syntax in William Carlos Williams poems frames the poets poetic world. This article will review the fluidness of Williams poems approached by flowing images and flowing syntax in William Carlos Williams poems. It attempts to prove that although the images may be seen as accumulative rather than surmounted and the lines and stanzas are broken, the sense is flowing. Concisely but accurately, William Carlos Williams applies the images featuring fluidness to reveal the essence of objects. Through the accumulation of images, the lines and stanzas starts to jump down from one to another, activating the whole scene of the poem to flow. And the flowing syntax which includes the irregular line ends and broken stanzas, the omission of capitalization in each line uplifts the limbs of the poem and make it flow.

Poetic Metaphors and Embodied Cognition A Potential Pathway of Mind Development
Authors: Fan Yanzhu
Published: December 2023

Cognitive poetics theory regards metaphor as a significant mechanism in human unconscious cognitive processes for understanding abstract concepts and phenomena, which constitutes the essence of poetic expression. Poetic metaphors accentuate linguistic expression at the level of pure abstract concepts, transcending experiential and cultural limitations, and emerge as a significant wellspring for unconscious cognition and mind development. However, mind development cannot be exclusively reliant on metaphor, as abstract thinking arises from the interplay between rational agents and the objective external world through embodied cognition. Therefore, poetic metaphors and embodied cognition synergistically constitute a crucial constituent of mind development. This article aims to explicate that poetic metaphors, as a mode of concretely ideologizing through vivid imagery, serve as a vital mechanism for cognitive abstraction, the exploration of mental patterns, and the fostering of mind development. This is accomplished by leveraging bodily experience as a pivotal medium bridging the subject and object, as well as the internal mind and external world, thereby forging a potential pathway of abstract concept, poetic metaphor, embodied cognition, and mind development.

Authors: Huang Xiwen
Published: December 2023

The development of feminism has played a certain role in the promotion of womens status and the defense of their interests and rights in Western and Chinese society. Chinese and Western women have demonstrated the influence of feminism on aesthetic changes. The research theme of this paper is investigating the development of feminism in China and Australia, which explores the development process of feminism in China and Australia and the similarities and differences between feminism and womens perceptions of physical appearance. By comparison, literature review, and interview methods, this study found that the similarities between the development of womens rights and aesthetics in China and the West are that young female interviewees who are subject to feminism think that physical health is the most important thing, and that women have autonomy and choice in the management of appearance. The difference between the development of womens rights in China and the West on aesthetics is that due to the increasing influence of individualism and feminism in Australian society, Australian women have more freedom in managing their appearance, and they are less influenced by mainstream social norms regarding womens appearance. However, under the influence of social pressure and collectivism, Chinese women are more inclined to change their appearance to adapt to the standard of ideal female appearance in Chinese mainstream society. Feminists in China can use the results of this study to understand the causes and effects of gender inequality, and pro-feminist educators can promote gender education in schools and society.
Ezra Pound: Merits and Defects in Approaching Eastern Poetry
Authors: Zhou Zijun
Published: December 2023

Many literati consensually consider Ezra Pound a very significant figure in bringing Eastern poetry into the English world. His Cathay and In A Station of the Metro manifest his engagement in Chinese and Japanese poetry respectively. Rarely have scholars systematically discussed and evaluated the interconnection between the three languages poetry displayed in Pounds work. Therefore, this article aims to provide a comparative and comprehensive analysis of Pounds works, Chinese ancient poems and haikus. It begins with an overview of poetry and then moves to introducing how English and Eastern poetry differ. In the discussion, Chinese and Japanese poetry have been explored respectively and jointly. This article, from the perspective of one with mastery or intermediacy in all three languages, aims to provide some more accurate and aesthetic translations of Chinese poems by poets including Wang Wei, and haikus by haijins such as Bash. These translations (unless specified, original) better serve to compare and contrast Pounds poems and their Eastern counterparts. A series of close, dialectic analyses demonstrate that Pound both possessed merits and defects in approaching Eastern Poetry. This study provides a more thorough account of this significant literary crossover, from which it is hoped that future studies discover how Pound developed and/or popularised certain styles in this process.

Authors: Cai Jiaqi
Published: December 2023

The Internet has now entered a phase of fast change. Social media is also developing and becoming more widespread as time goes on. However, the expansion of social media has also brought about certain issues, such as womens anxiety over their looks and body shape, which is causing an increasing number of people to have both medical and psychological issues.

The physical and emotional health of women may suffer as a result of these social demands. Following an analysis of these causes, this study suggests comparable remedies to help women achieve self-acceptance, and society also offers assistance to lessen womens anxiety and foster healthy social growth.

An Experimental Phonetic Study on Discontinuity-Continuity Effects of Chinese Prosodic Boundaries at Different Levels under the Influence of Focus in Different Positions
Authors: Zhang Junjie
Published: December 2023

The production of fluent speech in Mandarin requires the modulation of both discontinuity and continuity effects, with prosodic boundaries and focus stress serving as crucial control factors. Previous research has focused on the acoustic properties of focus which is independent of prosodic boundaries. In this study, whether different focus positions can affect the discontinuity-continuity effects at prosodic boundaries of distinct levels would be investigated. The results of acoustic analysis reveal the following findings: (1) The discontinuity effect is mainly influenced by the boundary level types, while the continuity effect is primarily influenced by the focus position; (2) When the focus is positioned before or after the prosodic boundary, the focus context tends to weaken the control of the boundary level over the discontinuity and continuity effects. When the focus coincides with the boundary or is at the sentence-final position, the focus context tends to enhance the control of the boundary level over the discontinuity and continuity effects; (3) Focus and the prosodic hierarchy are two independent encoding systems, each with its own autonomy. However, both systems share prosodic resources in speech production, leading to cooperation and competition between the two to achieve a balanced intonational state. The impact of different focus positions in natural speech on the discontinuity-continuity effects at different levels of prosodic boundaries in natural speech highlights this inherent contradiction.
