An Philological Investigation of the Meishan Shuilu Ritual Text HOU Chong,ZHANG Bei-Bei 2016, 48 (1):  31-38.  doi: 10.16382/ j.cnki.1000-5579.2016.01.004 Abstract ( 268 )   HTML ( 6 )   PDF (1482KB) ( 1053 )   Save Although they are often placed in the same category, the relationship between SU Shi’s Eulogy of Shuilu Scenes and Meishan Shuilu Ritual Text has not been cleared due to limited documents. Based on the message of “the rare edition of Chan Master Fa-yong in Fayun Temple” in the brief introduction to the Eulogy, this paper finds that the Eulogy was written in 1091 and thus independent of the Shuilu rite organized by SU Shi for his dead wife in 1093. The two Buddhist records newly unearthed in Kunming show that Meishan, also called Longhua Shuilu Ritual Text, was compiled by lay Buddhist ZHANG Xing-yun and Chan Master Bao-yue in the Southern Song Dynasty. It adopts SU Shi’s Eulogy based upon YANG Er’s Shuilu Ritual Text and Zen Master Zu-jue’s Shuilu Fast Ritual Text. Related Articles | Metrics

Celebration and Politics: Exploration of the Historical Events Concerning “Celebration Ceremony of the Victory of Anti-Japanese War” in 1945 ZHOU Wu 2016, 48 (1):  58-76.  doi: 10.16382/ j.cnki.1000-5579.2016.01.008 Abstract ( 363 )   HTML ( 4 )   PDF (4627KB) ( 1058 )   Save After the victory of Anti-Japanese War in 1945, the national government in the secondary capital Chongqing decided to hold a nationwide celebration ceremony of the victory under the name of the nation on World Anti- Fascist War and China’s Anti-Japanese War Victory Day and issued Implementation of Celebration Ceremony nationwide. Chongqing was the first to establish “Celebration Ceremony Preparatory Committee in the Secondary Capital” and held a grand ceremony in Jiaochangkou on September 3rd. Immediately after that, “Celebration Ceremony Preparatory Committee in Shanghai”, with its office on No. 65, Gedeng Road (today’s Jiangning Road), was established to prepare for the celebration ceremony in Shanghai. However, the ceremony in Shanghai was postponed to October 10th because the administrators of the allied armies, national armies and Shanghai municipal government failed to arrive in Shanghai on the Victory Day. The ceremony was held in Shanghai Race Club with unprecedented spectacular scene and fervent atmosphere. It was the first grandest civil “celebration” ceremony as well as an outstanding ceremony under the name of the nation held in Shanghai after the withdrawal of concessions and the unity of municipal authorities. However, the ceremony has not aroused enough attention of scholars up to now. Focusing on Shanghai, this paper explores the preparation and concrete process of the ceremony and discusses the relationship between the celebration ceremony and politics based on related archives and other materials.

Language Contact and the Emergence of New Languages YOU Ru-Jie 2016, 48 (1):  93-100.  doi: 10.16382/ j.cnki.1000-5579.2016.01.010 Abstract ( 355 )   HTML ( 5 )   PDF (4944KB) ( 1196 )   Save In modern China, all the new languages are hybrid languages which emerge due to language contact rather than population migration or the division of existing languages. A hybrid dialect is a new dialect with stable phonology after mixing up two or more dialects. It has been used as mother tongue by local residents with simplification of phonology as its most prominent feature. There are four types of hybrid dialects: boundary, migration, Creole and Koine dialects. Related Articles | Metrics

On the Causative and Passive Markers in Shanghai Dialect YANG Kai-Rong 2016, 48 (1):  101-108.  doi: 10.16382/ j.cnki.1000-5579.2016.01.011 Abstract ( 342 )   HTML ( 3 )   PDF (1416KB) ( 973 )   Save “Jiao34/nian23/bek5” are all causative markers in Shanghai dialect, but the causative meanings they represent are different. This paper argues for a new classification of the markers’ causative types and discusses the grammaticalization of “bek5???”, whose meaning extends from ‘providing’ to passive. We analyze corpus data and hold that it is through negative causative factors (i.e. non-permission) that “bek5???” acquires its passive meaning. Only “bek5???” that denotes non-permission has both causative and passive interpretations. This semantic connection is crucial to why “bek5” can function both as a causative and a passive marker.

A Study on Conversational Repair Strategies in CSL Classroom WU Yong-Yi,WANG Dan 2016, 48 (1):  109-115.  doi: 10.16382/ j.cnki.1000-5579.2016.01.012 Abstract ( 302 )   HTML ( 3 )   PDF (1248KB) ( 688 )   Save Applying the theory of conversational repair and using classroom records, corpuses, interviews and other research methods, this paper conducts a small empirical research on the type and proportion of conversational repair in CSL (Chinese as second language) classroom. The result objectively shows the dominant position of other-initiation and other-repair in the CSL classroom conversational repairs, in which the teachers (others) are overwhelmingly dominant. This is a unique phenomenon in the second language learning and acquisition, different from the daily conversation of the first language (mother tongue). Meanwhile, this paper makes another creative attempt to construct a theoretical system after sorting out conversational repair strategies for both CSL teachers and students.

On the Incompatibility of Plural Marker “Men” with Numerals: From the Perspective of the Distinctions of Chinese-English Number Categories SANG Zi-Hong 2016, 48 (1):  116-121.  doi: 10.16382/ j.cnki.1000-5579.2016.01.013 Abstract ( 346 )   HTML ( 6 )   PDF (1463KB) ( 1378 )   Save This paper discusses the incompatibility of plural marker “men” with numerals in Chinese from a cross-linguistic perspective between Chinese and English. It comes to a conclusion that “men” is both an addictive plural marker and an associative plural marker. As an addictive plural marker, noun phrases plus “men” doesn’t refer to atomic members and is consequently incompatible with a numeral which signifies an exact number. When “men” is an associative plural marker, the heterogeneity between members in the set it refers to causes the failure of counting due to the fact that counting is based on homogeneity. In contrast, English plural marker “-s” entails general numbers including singulars and plurals so that it is compatible with numbers. While “-s” implies both singulars and plurals, “men” is a real plural marker which exclusively refers to plurals. Related Articles | Metrics

On the Seduction in Oleanna LIANG Chao-Qun 2016, 48 (1):  122-129.  doi: 10.16382/ j.cnki.1000-5579.2016.01.014 Abstract ( 310 )   HTML ( 5 )   PDF (1594KB) ( 517 )   Save The hegemony of discourse production constantly courses misunderstandings, resulting in gaps and contradiction in our consciousness. Almost all the available researches on David Mamet’s Oleanna unconsciously interprete it in the mirror of production, which has caused evasive interpretations. This paper places the play back into the tension between production and seduction both in Baudriallardian sense, reading carefully the seduction scenes in the play on stage and exculpating the accused character and the equally accused playwright. The significance of the play is not in its apparent confrontation with feminism, but in urging us to break the discursive monopoly of production, and facing our seducible self, and guiding us into a conscious reconstruction of the tension between production and seduction.

Exploring New Urban Poetics: On XU Fang’s Poetics and Poetry XU Dao-Jun 2016, 48 (1):  130-136.  doi: 10.16382/ j.cnki.1000-5579.2016.01.015 Abstract ( 320 )   HTML ( 5 )   PDF (1317KB) ( 521 )   Save As an urban poet with consciousness, XU Fang has constructed a new kind of urban poetics different from traditional pastoral, modernist ones and even that of the school of “urban poetry” in the past. XU’s urban poetry mainly creates “pure poetry” of urban life, rebuilds a harmonious relation between human beings and cities, and grasp the current in the context of modern time and agricultural time. Embodying her idea of urban poetics, XU’s works consists of the following three aspects: First, regarding the city as a thing-in-itself and “the second nature”, she describes the city from the perspective of a dweller and an observer at the same time; second, she captures the new life styles in the city, finds out the characteristics of city life and affirms the distinguished significance and value of the city; third, she takes the city as a method to experience the city. XU’s exploration of urban poetics and urban poetry is significant in promoting urban poetry originated in Shanghai to a new level. Related Articles | Metrics

Design of Corporate Control, “Capitalist” Endowment and Entrepreneur Background LAN Fa-Qin,ZHENG Wei,SONG Ju-Sheng 2016, 48 (1):  137-145.  doi: 10.16382/ j.cnki.1000-5579.2016.01.016 Abstract ( 314 )   HTML ( 3 )   PDF (1617KB) ( 839 )   Save Due to “capitalist” endowment, actual controllers often make corporate control structure sophisticated with the intent to raise capital leverage, relief information disclosure pressure, establish platform for related transaction and satisfy the requirement for IPOs in China’s securities market. Via the empirical research on the A shares of private-owned listed companies in both Shanghai and Shenzhen markets, this paper finds that the younger and better educated the corporate actual controllers are, the higher their “capitalist” endowment would be, and this is especially true for controllers who own the business and management education background. However, special political identity will make actual controllers more cautious in exerting “capitalist” endowment and avoid intricate structure design of control right. Related Articles | Metrics

“Eight Provisions”, Executive Control and the Perks YANG Rong 2016, 48 (1):  146-157.  doi: 10.16382/ j.cnki.1000-5579.2016.01.017 Abstract ( 381 )   HTML ( 3 )   PDF (1933KB) ( 861 )   Save In recent years, excessive perks in state-owned companies have aroused widespread concern. Taking the A-share state-owned companies listed from year 2010 to 2014 as samples, this paper empirically verifies that the “Eight Provisions” restrains the perks by executive control. It restrains not only the total perks but also the unusual perks. The “Eight Provisions” have more power in restraining the perks in lower executive control companies and listed central state-owned corporations. Therefore, to maximize the deterrent effect of the “Eight Provisions” on the perks, it is necessary to implement the “Eight Provisions” further in listed central state-owned corporations.

Competition in Product Market, Internal Pay Gap and Company Performance HAO Dong-Yang 2016, 48 (1):  158-168.  doi: 10.16382/ j.cnki.1000-5579.2016.01.018 Abstract ( 335 )   HTML ( 3 )   PDF (1770KB) ( 704 )   Save Some exploratory research has been made on the relation between internal pay gap and company performance, yet there is no deep analysis on whether the relation varies with market circumstance. Based on institution background in China, this paper focuses on the relation between internal pay gap and company performance in the condition of different product market competition. The result shows that the relation forms an inverted U shape, and the turning point of the U shape moves to the right when the competition in product market gets more intense, which means that the best level of company’s internal pay gap will be higher when the competition in product market is more intense. This tells us that relevant government departments shall consider industry difference when controlling the internal pay gap to promote income equality. It is suitable to take advantage of bigger internal pay gap in the industries or companies of more intense competition so as to make internal pay gap fully play an incentive role.

Empirical Test on Financial Listed Companies’ Executive Pay-for-Performance Sensitivity: Based on Performance Index PFMI SUN Li,YANG Li-Ping 2016, 48 (1):  169-179.  doi: 10.16382/ j.cnki.1000-5579.2016.01.019 Abstract ( 304 )   HTML ( 3 )   PDF (1898KB) ( 1152 )   Save The high pay of the executives in financial companies has attracted the attention of the government and society. Since the financial sector plays an important role in the macro-economy, the government unveiled a series of compensation management and performance evaluation regulations. Considering the particular operation mode of the four different financial sub-sectors, that is, banking, insurance, securities and trust, this paper designs performance proxy variables PFMI according to the “financial performance evaluation standards”, and takes mixed regression and panel data regression approaches to study executive pay-for-performance sensitivity of the 42 financial companies listed on A-Share. This is quite different from most current studies, in which only one single financial performance indicator has been used. By comparing the sub-sectors of the financial industry, this paper shows that the listed banks’ executive pay has a positive correlation with bank performance and the executive pay-for-performance sensitivity is higher than other financial sectors while the pay-for-performance sensitivity of insurance takes the second place. Also, there is no significant correlation between the executive pay and the operation performance for securities and trust. These findings will have some empirical reference value for further improvement of financial institutions remuneration management. Related Articles | Metrics
