The Pulsation of Life and Possibility of Local Poetry: On Contemporary Poetic Writing in Meizhou

CHEN Hong-qi

（School of Humanities,Hainan University,Haikou,Hainan 570228）

Abstract:In the new century,universal poetic concepts are increasingly questioned,and the significance of local elements in poetry is strengthened and recognized.Some poets active in Meizhou,such as You Zijing and Wu Weihua,provide some unique rationale or possibilities for local poetry,as reflected in the weakening of the“sense of space”and the strengthening of the“sense of time”,in death as the completion of life and a perspective to observe life,and in the fading of social reality and the actualization of poetic imagination.These contemporary Meizhou poets are accomplished in their own way,and their poems not only demonstrate local customs of the Hakka regions like Meizhou and Heyuan,but also become a distinctive local poetry.They do not shrink their poetic vision and spiritual world just because they live in a small town.Instead they expresses a rich artistic experience and construct a unique“l(fā)ocal poetry”community.

（Collage of Chinese Literature,Lanzhou University,Lanzhou,Gansu 730000）

Abstract:Lie Chao Shi Ji Xiao Zhuan:Ding Ji,Vol 2（《列朝詩(shī)集小傳·丁集下》）is a special section in Lie Chao Shi Ji Xiao Zhuan（《列朝詩(shī)集小傳》）with unique significance and value.Qian Qianyi takes region and community as the main perspectives,and outlines three groups of poets,namely Wuzhong School of Poetry,Jinling Poetry Society and Fujian School of Poetry.At the same time,he also takes into account other small groups and individual poets,so as to show an overall landscape of the Ming-Dynasty poetry.On the basis of the textual form of these poet clusters and combined with the analysis of the number of each poet’s works,Qian Qianyi’s description of the late-Ming poetry contains a series of attempts to reconstruct the history of poetry and poetic criticism,such as promoting Wuzhong Poetics and dismantling the Min School,with an aim to comb out the development of the Ming poetry and to reshape its genealogy.

Cui Shiguan’s Hong Kong and Macao Encounters and His Mental Writing: a Study of Beicun Leigao

Sun Ying-ying

（Harbin Institute of Technology Shenzhen,Shenzhen,Guangdong 518055）

Abstract:Cui Shiguan（1871-1941）was an important modern Lingnan poet,whose life nad works,however,are largely ignored.In the early years of the Republic of China,Cui lived in Hong Kong and Macao for a long time and had close contact with the Qing loyalists and literati of the Southern Society（Nanshe）.While engaging in classical poetry education,Cui participated in the collation of Lingnan scholarly archives and poetic clubs organized by literary groups of Hong Kong.Cui’s poetry was published in various newspapers and had some influence in literary circles of Hong Kong and Macao.By analyzing the friendship recorded in Cui’s Beicun Leigao,this paper provides a deeper understanding of his life experience and ideas.Cui’s writing demonstrates that despite the stable and leisurely life in Hong Kong and Macao,Cui was nostalgic about his hometown Nanhai and deliberately portrayed its tranquil natural flavor.This not only reflects Cui’s identity with traditional culture,but also provides an important perspective for interpreting modern Lingnan literati’s experience of Hong Kong and Macao.

Abstract:Su Shi’s experience of being exiled overseas not only gave him a deep temporal vision and a broad spatial vision,enabling him to contemplate the ocean from the dual dimensions of history and universe,but also transformed his initial attitude towards the ocean,making him notice its previously disregarded or unobservable aspects.From the lamentations on his journey to Hainan,to the overwhelming awe while crossing the sea,then to the carefree and transcendent mindset during his life on the island,and finally to the tranquil and elegant demeanor upon his return journey,the exile to Hainan inspired Su Shi’s contemplation of life and led him to explore and comprehend the intricate relationship between the heavenly order and human ethics.It elevated his perception of existence and allowed him to achieve a transcendental realm.

On Scientific Ethics and the Construction of Ecological Community in Oryx and Crake

WANG Qing-lu

（School of Chinese Language and Literature,Zhaoqing University,Zhaoqing,Guangdong 526000）

Abstract:In her Oryx and the Crake,Margaret Atwood affirms that science and technology can promote human progress,but she is also worried about the limitations of anthropocentrism and the lack of scientific ethics.This contradictory mentality is mainly reflected in the characterization of the scientist Crake in the novel.Crake is restrained by scientific ethics and with science and technology he prevents human beings’destruction of ecological community,but he also kills Oryx and causes disasters because of his limited moral orientation.The novel dialectically considers the impact of scientific and technological achievements on the future of mankind.On the one hand,as a result of enhanced technology,Crakers showthe possibility that science and technology can repair the relationship between human and ecological community,on the other hand,Jimmy’s experience in the post-disaster world warns human beings to revere nature and maintain the stability of ecological community.

Jack London’s Asia-Pacific Narrative and His Ethical Consciousness of Race

WANG Ding-ying

（School of Foreign Languages,Beihang University,Beijing 100191）

Abstract:In 1907,Jack London and his wife Charmian sailed on the“Snark”in the South Seas and wrote a series of short stories based on this voyage.In one of the stories,“Koolau the Leper”,the romantic family story is replaced with the rebellion of Koolau,the leader of Hawaii.Many scholars believe that this work overturns London’s previous image as a white racist,but London’s Asia-Pacific narrative is full of stigmatization and contempt for the yellow race.This article explores the racial ethics behind London’s creation.According to Nie Zhenzhao’s theory of“brain text”and the concept of ethical consciousness of race,the article finds that instead of being a work of social justice,London’s rewriting of Koolau’s story is influenced by the Spencerian thought popular in the late-19th-century American society.London’s ethical choice is based on his national identity,reflecting the consistency between his racial ethics and the interest of American national community.Key words:Jack London;Asia-Pacific narrative;race;brain text
