    An Initial Attempt to Consolidate the Urban Regime in New China——A Historical Case Survey of the "Suppressing Counter-revolutionaries" Movement in Shanghai
    Kui-song YANG
    2004, 36 (5):  1-20.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2004.05.001

    In October 1950 the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party initiated a "suppressing counter-revolutionaries" movement over the whole country in order to realize its central task of consolidating the new regime in cities. Shanghai, as the largest major city located on China's eastern coastal front, inevitably occupied a primary position in the movement. Owing to Shanghai's special position and complicated environments, the movement there was relatively moderate and slow-paced during its early stage. With repeated pushes of the central leadership of CCP, the movement in Shanghai experienced a "high tide" at last by the spring of 1951 as other parts of the country did. About 2000 "counter-revolutionaries" were executed within months. The "suppressing counter-revolutionaries" movement, however, failed to realize the goal to which Mao Zedong and the Central Committee of CCP had originally assigned. Moreover, the social reality revealed in the movement further strengthened Communists' sense of "existence of enemies everywhere." The beginning of the "cleaning up counter-revolutionaries" movement a few years later, as well as initiations of a series of other political campaigns, could be traced back to the "suppressing counter-revolutionaries" movement.

    The Crisis of the Atlantic Union after Iraq War
    Min-kai ZHOU
    2004, 36 (5):  21-28.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2004.05.002

    The Iraq War has provoked a conflict or crisis within the Atlantic Union led by U.S.A., which is characterized by multilevel and complexity. It finds main expressions in differences between America and the European Union led by France and Germany, and differences between major member countries and between new and old members within EU as well. The cause of the crisis is rather complicated, involving many factors such as changes of the world structure and European security situation, international political ideas, global strategic arrangements, member countries' actual interests and challenges of their policy changes to existing EU relations. The influence of the Atlantic Union crisis is far-reaching.

    The Dual Dimension of Confucian Ultimate Concern
    Wen-feng MAO
    2004, 36 (5):  29-36.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2004.05.003

    The achievement of the Confucian ultimate concern with immanent transcendency has received wide attention in its dimension of mind and human nature - morality - ideal personality; however, the source and development of its other dimension, that is, propriety - politics - ideal society, gains little attention. From pre-Qin Confucians forward, Confucius' belief in Heaven was particularized into his dual concern of "humanity" and "propriety" in its humanist development. And Mencius and Xun Zi, respectively, developed their theories in such two areas. It is helpful for our comprehensive recognition of the Confucian highly worldly thought of ultimate concern to examine those historical theoretical changes of ultimate concern.

    Zhang Dainian's Notion of "Ultimate Reality"
    Jing-fang LIU
    2004, 36 (5):  37-42.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2004.05.004
    Abstract ( 1008 )   HTML ( 2 )   Save

    In modern Chinese philosophy Professor Zhang Dainian was an advocate of "analytical materialism." His notion of "ultimate reality" (ben ti), however, was different from that of philosophers in Qinghua School of Realism who emphasized the importance of logical analysis on the one hand, and different from that of his contemporary New Materialists on the other. His notion of "ultimate reality" is a unity of principle (li) and matter (wu), and a unity of "the ultimate" (ben) and "the ideal" (zhi). It is a creative synthesis of various conceptions of ultimate reality in Chinese and Western philosophies. It reflects his attempt to transcend both Qinghua School of Realism and New Materialism.

    Feng Qi's Solution to the Humean Question
    Xiang-qing WANG
    2004, 36 (5):  43-49.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2004.05.005

    Hume's question is about rationality and justification of inductive reasoning. Its core is: Whether and how is universal, necessary and scientific knowledge possible? Feng Qi gives a new and original answer to it by his summing up and absorbing predecessors' positive achievements. In his opinion, people's cognitive ability can obtain scientific knowledge of universality and necessity, and thinking forms provide logical guarantees for acquiring such knowledge. Such guarantees include two aspects. First, the space-time form and logical categories provide a logical guarantee for people's obtaining universally valid knowledge. Second, those basic principles of formal logic and the general acceptance principle of dialectical logic provide as well a logical guarantee for grasping universally valid knowledge.

    On the Concept of Ego in Feng Qi's Philosophy
    Xiao-liao LIN
    2004, 36 (5):  50-55.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2004.05.006

    According to Feng Qi, self-consciousness constitutes self-identity, and free personality is true personality and only belongs to the spiritual subject. Meanwhile, he stresses that ego is a union of body and mind, a union of self-consciousness and self-existence. The free personality obtains its ontological meaning in the creation of values.

    A Study of the Reform on Regulations of Household Registration in Small Cities and Towns and New Issues about Urbanization of Rural Population
    Bao-shu ZHU
    2004, 36 (5):  56-65.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2004.05.007

    The development of small cities and towns has always been a big issue in China's reforms. Since 1997 the reform on the household registration system of China's small cities and towns has made progress at a good pace, which plays a positive role in the urbanization of rural population. However, farmers do not have great enthusiasms for applying for their residence permit in towns as it is expected. On the whole, the restrictions on residence registration in towns are relaxed with its appeal gradually becoming weak. The current urbanization of Chinese rural population has entered into a new developmental stage in which relevant systems that come in a complete package must be reformed. In such a new situation it is necessary for us to reconsider the big issue of small cities and towns in the perspective of scientific development, thus bringing them into full play in our overall planning of urban and rural developments.

    The Population Spatial Response and Social Effects of the Polarized Development——A Case Study of Pudong New District of Shanghai
    Shang-guang YANG, Jin-hong DING
    2004, 36 (5):  66-71.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2004.05.008

    The theory of polarized development is one of the most important theories in studies of regional developments, and frequently used by many countries, including developed countries, to formulate their regional development planning. The practice of polarization development strategy in Shanghai's Pudong New District has made the district become a convergence place of various productive factors such as capital, technology, labor force, enterprise and industry. Meanwhile, the polarized development makes population, as the most active factor of social and economic activities, largely move to Pudong New District, and forms the population spatially gathering, redistributing and residential difference of various groups. It also produces many social effects such as community reconstruction, social polarization, social segregation and stratum contradiction. These social effects will influence social and economic sustainable developments of Pudong New District.

    A Research on the Trend of Spatial Flow of Intermigration in the Yangtze River Delta Megalopolis
    Guan-min QIAO, Zhen-yu LIU
    2004, 36 (5):  72-77.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2004.05.009
    Abstract ( 1207 )   HTML ( 1 )   Save

    Based on the fifth census, we use the core-periphery model to inspect the migration among cities in the Yangtze Delta megalopolis. It is known that dynamics of agglomeration and diffusion in the megalopolis manipulate developments of cities. The strength of agglomeration is a major force in the megalopolis, and the pursuit for economic benefits is a basic reason for population clustering. Meanwhile, the inter-city dispersion is mainly a non-class diffusion. Also, dynamics of population in the periphery differ between north and south. The north in the Yangtze Delta has a denser interaction with the core than the south. But when applying the gravitation model to analyze the spatial interaction, we find that the decay of distance friction between south and core is smaller than the north, which indicates that the relation between south and core is increasing. In intra-cities there is a dense population flow, and the population urbanization and the migration between blocs are two main trends. Some policies should be adjusted to fit an integral development in the megalopolis.

    The Cultural Vision of Shen Zengzhi's Poetics
    Rui-ming LI, Xiao-ming HU
    2004, 36 (5):  86-92.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2004.05.011

    Chinese poetics is a part of Chinese cultural spirit. If our contemporaries just use a modern, divided and independent theory of pure literature to understand it, it tends to lose its truth. Shen Zengzhi (1851-1922), a well-known poet, had a most profound understanding of academic, cultural characters of Chinese poetics. Through analyses of the connection between transformations of poetical history and academic culture and between poetical creation and Confucianism and Buddhism, we may apprehend internal trends of Chinese learning and reconstruct our cultural recognition of poetics so as to enrich the general picture of the twentieth-century Chinese poetics.

    Two Great Transformations of Love Poetry and Extraordinary Achievements of Wu Wenying's Autobiographical Lyrical Love Poetry
    Qian ZHOU
    2004, 36 (5):  93-99.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2004.05.012

    In the development of Chinese love poetry there were two great transformations. One was from general lyrical to autobiographical lyrical, and the other was from amorous, vulgar to romantic, elegant. Wu Wenying made love poetry look on a completely new appearance by means of his abundant poems with autobiographical emotional outpourings and outstanding artistic expressions, thus realizing great transformations of love poetry. His poetry was significant to the development of love poetry, and is a window through which we may view the poetical art of the Southern Song Dynasty.

    The Continuum and Formal Compactness of Causatives in Modern Chinese
    Jin-zhang HUANG
    2004, 36 (5):  100-105.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2004.05.013
    Abstract ( 999 )   HTML ( 2 )   Save

    This paper aims at the problem of continuum and compactness of the formal aspect of causative construction in contemporary Chinese. First, subcategories of the causative construction are discussed, and it is shown that there are abundant lexical and analytic causatives in contemporary Chinese owing to a lack of morphological causatives. Then, different points of view on the compactness are introduced. Both formal distance and productivity can be taken as parameters of the compactness of the formal aspect of causatives. In this way the scale of formal compactness of causatives in Chinese is determined, which works as a base for a further study on the problem of the iconicity between syntactic and semantic compactness.

    An Analysis of Event Nouns in Modern Chinese
    Lei HAN
    2004, 36 (5):  106-112.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2004.05.014

    The event noun is a particular category in Chinese nouns. According to the statistics about syntactic distributions of prototype members in the large-scale corpus, we can see that the event category has a character of weak thingness and weak action as its cognitive cause.
