兩漢經緯體系. / CUHK electronic theses & dissertations collection / Liang Han jing wei ti xi.

January 2013 (has links)
本論文的撰寫基於一個前設:緯書之出現,本非為釋經而生;並以此為基礎,析論經、緯關係,及其衍生之政治相關議題。傳統見解中,認為緯書的出現乃經學之附生產品,緯書的內容,係為釋經、而附以其政治任務而生。本文並無意挑戰緯書乃政治鬥爭產物之觀點,只是要說緯書乃因釋經而生,則不符西漢的儒學發展演變。 / 儒學世界中,真正為經學附庸者,乃章句而非緯學。任何事物的出現,必然有其偶然與必然性,撇除難以探討的偶然性問題,若說緯學乃出自釋經所需,則其將缺乏形成的必然性;因為自宣帝、元帝間始,儒學各經派對自身經書的章句之學已進入高速發展期,以萬字釋一言乃師法之內的家常之事,緯學若然是釋經之作,則其出現實屬多餘。 / 本文認為,緯學係作為博士經學、古學以外出現的第三道政治學術主流。經學上的博士經學體系,雖然系出董仲舒,難免沾染災異之說,但五經之中,除了後成的《禮記》,大體上仍然保持其「純潔」,緯學的出現,乃為對政治混局預占之所需,配合董氏以來齊學的災異傳統而發展起來的獨立學派,此即張禹口中的「新學」。必須重新評估新學的獨立性,方能掌握白虎觀後,緯學、博士經學、古學三川並流的學術「定局」。 / 所以,本文將主要分為兩大部分,第一部分包含第一及第二章,主要探討形成博士經學體系、古學體系與緯學體系的學術歷史環境;因為經學史的演進部分,研究已汗牛充棟,本文集中討論的是形成這個政治學術環境的背境因素。 / 第二部分包含第三及第四章,主要探討緯學在兩漢之際的儒學體系中的角色。東漢中前期形成三學並立的局面,源起成帝對新學的提拔,此新學本文稱為成哀新學,其除對齊學傳統的災異之說有所繼承外,更係對西漢一代可資運用的「一切資源」加以包納,形成一個「百科全書」式的學派綱目。基於王莽與劉秀對新學的「神化」,令其成為「儒教」在兩漢之際實踐神道設教的核心,地位更凌駕於博士經系之上。本部分即對此現象之形成加以綜述。 / 簡單而言,本文將視「博士經學」「古學經學」「緯學」為漢代儒學中的三個重要組成部分,而儒學思想,則作為三者溝通、乃至相互影響的橋樑;不過,此橋樑本身,亦係三者之體系形成過程中,方始形成的觀念;換言之,本文旨在透過理解此體系之形成,以釐清漢代儒學發展中的部分關鍵。 / To exmaine the development of Ru learning in early Han Dynasty through the study of its formation process has so far received relatively less attention, as scholars mostly took it for granted that Ru classics were mostly formed during the Warring States. However, the Ru classics as we know today had simply not yet been compiled in early Han, but fragmented pieces of allegedly writings of ancient authors, with ample rooms for further and necessary intreptation. In other words, without the deconstruction, and reconstruction, of the Han Confucians, the concept of Classics (jing) would only remain empty. This thesis, thus, would focus on how and why Ru classics were constructed. / The first chapter provides a brief history on the formation and changes of the Five Classics, together with an introduction of the background of the Han intellectual world at its very beginning; as well as an analysis of the ways that the Central government and different localities interacted in order to facilitate the initial stage of Han Ru development. / The second chapter will study the formative years of Ru participation in Han politics, and suggest that it started as early as Wendi 文帝while it was traditionally thought to be the great achievement of Wudi 武帝. The chapter will demonstrate how Wendi and Jingdi 景帝struggled to promote Ru learnings during their rules. And thus the chapter would lead to the conclusion that Wudi’s policy of exclusive promotion of Ru was nothing more than the legacy of his father and grandfather. Nevertheless, this chapter will make a further inquiry into this formative period through the study of New Book 賈誼《新書》to illustrate its characterisitcs. Following that, a section on the “Qi tradition齊學of Han Ru will be introduced and its unique and important role in the Ru system will be emphasized by examining the development of Dong Zhongshu 董仲舒 and his works on the Gongyang traditions 公羊學. The chapter concludes the formative era by discussing the book of Yantieyuan《鹽鐵論》 to show that the basic ideas and structure of the Ru system was a quasi-established one immediately after the ruling years of Wudi. Core principles made up by the majority faction in Qixue will rule in the names of Jing 經, Chang 常 and suppress principles of Quan 權, Bian 變 found in Wudi’s rules. / The third chapter, instead of focusing on the ideological and intellectual changes, deals with how real-politik exerted its great influence on the stabilizing period. The once forgotten Quan-Bian faction rose again during this late Western-Han period as a result of fierece political struggles among different parties alongside with the ideological disuptues between the Jinwen and Guwen schools. The chapter will try to foster a new concept under the term of Cheng-Ai Neoism to illustrate the uprising of the studies of Chen Prophecy and Apocrypha as a result of Qixue traditions and political turmoil. / The last chapter will supplement the previous chapters by introducing the origins of Apocrypha and how its development affected the construction and development of Ru Classics and how it was applied in real-politik. The chapter would also like to argue that without Apocrypha, the so-called Ru system would not be a matured one through the studies of Bangu’s Baihu-tongyi. And the chapter would conclude the thesis by stating that with the matured development in both Classics and Apocrypha, the systematic construction of Han Ru system was finally established as a result. / To conclude, this thesis aims to examine different stages of development that finally led to the formation of Han Ru system which affected the intellectual and political development of Han and post-Han dynasties. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / 趙鍾維. / "2013年7月". / "2013 nian 7 yue". / Thesis (M.Phil.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2013. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 204-215). / Electronic reproduction.

先秦儒家哲學中的情感: Emotions in Pre-Qin Confucian Philosophy. / Emotions in Pre-Qin Confucian philosophy / Xian Qin ru jia zhe xue zhong de qing gan: Emotions in Pre-Qin Confucian Philosophy.

January 2014 (has links)
本文處理的問題是「先秦儒家哲學中的情感」,具體的內容涉及「情感與詩、歌、禮、樂」、「情感與家庭」、「情感與生死」和「情感與道德」四個主題。其中,重要的主題是「情感與生死」,最核心的主題是「情感與道德」。在對先秦儒家經典中的情感語詞及其所關聯的情感現象進行細緻分析的基礎上,筆者重點考察相關的情感現象如何關聯於先秦儒家對「情感」與「道」、「德」的理解和經驗,進而深入考察其中可能的關聯是什麼。基於研究所得的結論,筆者提出:「先秦儒家重『情』,認為『哀、樂』或『喜、怒、哀、悲』是人生而具有的基本情感,是人性本有的內涵,其終極來源是天」這一基本看法。就具體的情感現象來看,孔子在面對「顏回之死」這一事件發生的當時,其直接的情感反應是「哭之慟」。筆者的問題是:「顏回死時,孔子已知天命,既已知天命,為何還會因『顏回之死』而『哭之慟』?」基於圍繞此問題展開的分析和研究筆者發現:孔子是以「情感」的方式理解和經驗「我與天」、「我與道」、「我與己」、「己與人」這兩個維度、四個面向的關係和「他人之死」的情感現象,他對天實有的情感是「敬畏」、「畏懼」,對縱向維度的未聞之道實有的情感是「期盼」。 / 筆者認為,自孔子開始的以「情感」的方式理解、經驗「生命」、「生死」、「道」與「德」影響其後學、孟子、荀子和《禮記》的作者,筆者在各主題中結合文本分析孔子為何會有這樣的理解和經驗,及其如何影響後世的思想家。筆者提出,應當結合以《詩經》為代表的文學傳統和以《論語》為代表的哲學傳統來考察先秦儒家對情感的理解和經驗;孔子的「哭之慟」之情感現象反映出孔子的心靈在當時真實感受到的悲傷之情。在本文各章研究所得結論的基礎上,筆者發現:先秦儒家承認「情感與人」、「情感與生死」之間存在著固有的關聯。簡單總結:在先秦儒家的理解和信念中,「人是有情的活物。」孔子生命中所有的對「天命」的畏懼及其對能「聞道」的期盼之情正是人之「有情」的真實體現。 / This thesis focuses on the question of "Emotions in Pre-Qin Confucian Philosophy", which mainly relates to four topics including "Emotion and Poem, Song, Rites, Music", "Emotion and Family", "Emotion and Life, Death", "Emotion and Dao, De". The important topic is "Emotion and Life, Death", the most core topic is "Emotion and Dao, De". I will discuss them based on this internal relationship among the four topics. Have made in-depth research into classical texts in Pre-Qin Confucian Philosophy, my point in this essay is that "The Pre-Qin Confucians were highly valued the role of Emotions, they took ‘grief and joy’ or ‘happiness, anger, sadness, grief’ as basic type of Emotions, which originate from Heaven, as well as is inborn content of human nature." When Confucian faced "the death of Yan Hui", his direct emotional reaction was "bitterly cried out". This emotional phenomenon poses a question to me: If Confucian have already known what "Heaven" wanted him to do, why he still cried so bitterly for "the death of Yan Hui"? I find that Confucian understood and experienced "Heaven and I", "Dao and I", "Myself and I", "You and I" which exhibited two dimensions and four aspects formations, as well as the phenomenon of "the Death of the Other" in emotional way. Confucian’s true feeling toward "Heaven" is "awe" or "fear", and his actual feeling to "the Unknown Dao" is "Hope". / My view is that Confucian opened a tradition focuses on understanding and experiencing "Life", "Life and Death" , "Dao" and "De" by the way of emotions connected to emotional phenomena which influenced his disciples, Mencius, Hsun Tzu, etc. It is needed to study "emotional phenomena" in the literature tradition which The Book of Songs started and philosophy tradition which originated from Analects. In the end, I come to the conclusion how Confucian’s viewed "Emotion and Life and Death": "People are inborn with Emotions." And Confucian’s emotional feeling toward "Tian Ming" was fear, his life had a specific hope to hear from "Dao". / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / 劉妮. / Thesis submitted: October 2013. / Thesis (Ph.D.) Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2014. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 254-263). / Abstracts also in English. / Liu Ni.

Investigation Of Fluid Rheology Effects On Ultrasound Propagation

Ozkok, Okan 01 September 2012 (has links) (PDF)
In this study, a mathematical model is developed for investigating the discrete sound propagation in viscoelastic medium to identify its viscoelastic properties. The outcome of the model suggests that pulse repetition frequency is a very important parameter for the determination of relaxation time. Adjusting the order of magnitude of the pulse repetition frequency, the corresponding relaxation time which has similar magnitude with pulse repetition frequency is filtered while the others in the spectrum are discarded. Discrete relaxation spectrum can be obtained by changing the magnitude of the pulse repetition frequency. Therefore, the model enables to characterize the relaxation times by ultrasonic measurements.

Cepstral Deconvolution Method For Measurement Of Absorption And Scattering Coefficients Of Materials

Aslan, Gokhan 01 January 2007 (has links) (PDF)
Several methods are developed to measure absorption and scattering coefficients of materials. In this study, a new method based on cepstral deconvolution technique is proposed. A reverberation room method standardized recently by ISO (ISO 17497-1) is taken as the reference for measurements. Several measurements were conducted in a physically scaled reverberation room and results are evaluated according to these two methods, namely, the method given in the standard and cepstral deconvolution method. Two methods differ from each other in the estimation of specular parts of room impulse responses essential for determination of scattering coefficients. In the standard method, specular part is found by synchronous averaging of impulse responses. However, cepstral deconvolution method utilizes cepstral analysis to obtain the specular part instead of averaging. Results obtained by both of these two approaches are compared for five different test materials. Both of the methods gave almost same values for absorption coefficients. On the other hand, lower scattering coefficient values have been obtained for cepstral deconvolution with respect to the ISO method.

Pricing To Market: An Evaluation For Turkey

Yonder, Erkan 01 August 2007 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis investigates pricing to market behavior in the exports of Turkey, which is a small economy. The investigated sectors are hazelnut, dried grape, dried apricot, dried fig and feldspar. The sectors are selected because Turkey is the leading producer and exporter for these products in the world. We apply pricing to market model for the exports from Turkey to each of the largest importer countries and the world in total for each product to check whether there is monopolistic behavior in the markets. We also check whether there is complete local currency price stability in the investigated markets. The relationship between the import shares of destination markets in the Turkey&amp / #8217 / s exports and the estimated pricing to market elasticities are compared as well. In general, we find that there is pricing to market in the exports of Turkey for the investigated sectors.

Linguistic Rights Of The Turkish Minority In Bulgaria

Haksoz, Cengiz 01 September 2007 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis analyses linguistic policies in Bulgaria, during the Ottoman, monarchical, communist and post-communist periods and its effects on the Turkish minority in Bulgaria. The linguistic policies in Bulgaria did not follow consistent policies / on the contrary, it followed different policies in different periods. The aim of this thesis is to analyse how the Turkish minority experiences and perceives linguistic rights in the post-communist period, such as study of and in Turkish language, Turkish minority media, use of minority personal names, naming of topographical places and the status of Turkish language in official and administrative institutions. For this purpose, in-depth interviews were carried out in ISiklar (Samuil) municipality in Bulgaria, where Turks constitute the absolute majority of the population. As a result of the analyses of the experiences of the Turkish minority, it was observed that (Turkish) linguistic rights and language were experienced by the Turkish minority in terms of ethnolinguistic identity. It is concluded that symbolic power and diglossia relationships between Turkish and Bulgarian languages affected the ways of perception of (Turkish) linguistic rights by the Turkish minority in Bulgaria.

The Dynamics Of Tore As The Ethos Of Tribe In Kiziltepe

Gunes, Onder 01 December 2009 (has links) (PDF)
This study aims to find out the structure, logic and meaning patterns of the concept of t&ouml / re as the ethos, that is all social practices, of the Kurdish tribal formation and which, up until now, has been studied in the framework of honour killings (namus cinayetleri) debates rather than a distinct issue in academia. By this way it is aimed to redefine the concept at theoretical and empirical levels. In this study, first of all, the concept of tribe is tackling and it is questioning that what tribe means today as a social and political structure / and searching for the essential tension between the state and tribe due to their perception of sovereignty. In addition to this, it is intended to introduce how t&ouml / re operates in the resolution of everyday disputes of a tribe member. It is aimed to analyze how to articulate and/or dislocate of modern state law and t&ouml / re which based on tribal resolution mechanisms over intra tribal and inter tribal disputes. For this purpose, I conducted a field research with the help of informal interview and participant observation techniques within Kurdish tribes in Mardin, Kiziltepe.

Mining and smelting technology and the politics of bronze in Shang and Western Zhou China : an inquiry into the Bronze Age interaction sphere

Reinhardt, Katrinka. January 1997 (has links)
In this thesis I focus on mining and smelting in China during the Shang and Western Zhou periods (c. 2200-770 B.C.). The importance of bronze in Shang and Zhou society and the vast quantity of bronze artifacts recovered indicates that the acquisition of metal ore would have been a major occupation of the state. The Shang and Zhou governments controlled their own bronze foundries but did not control the mines. The mines are located in southern China where the Chu state flourished during the Eastern Zhou period, likely due partly to their possession of mineral resources, and in Inner Mongolia where the steppe cultures existed. The Zhou and the Shang were likely obtaining raw materials from southern and northern cultures, either through trade or raid. Provenance studies based on chemical composition of artifact and ore will help resolve the source of Shang and Zhou ore.

Empirical Essays on Maternal Employment & Child Development / Reform Evaluations, quantitative Methods & Data Correction

Seidlitz, Arnim 15 February 2024 (has links)
Diese Dissertation behandelt die Erwerbstätigkeit von Müttern, Fertilität und die Entwicklung von Kindern in Deutschland. In Kapitel zwei evaluieren wir den Effekt der Elterngeldreform von 2007. Zunächst zeigen wir die „child penalty“, den Effekt der Mutterschaft auf die Erwerbstätigkeit. Wir verwenden dann die errechneten „child penalties“ vor und nach der Reform, um zu zeigen, dass die Reform positive Effekte auf die mittelfristige Erwerbstätigkeit hatte. Kapitel drei konzentriert sich auf die sogenannten „Cash-for-Care“-Transferleistungen für Eltern von ein- bis zweijährigen Kindern. Ich zeige eine signifikante Reduzierung der Beschäftigung bei Migrantinnen, wenn die potenziellen Leistungen erhöht werden. Es gibt positive Auswirkungen auf die Fertilität. Keine signifikanten Effekte finde ich für die Entwicklung der Kinder. In Kapitel vier untersuchen wir den Effekt der deutschen Ganztagsgrundschulen auf die Schulkinder. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen positive Auswirkungen auf die Schulleistungen. Wir stellen auch signifikante positive Peer-Effekte der Ganztagsprogramme fest. Allerdings finden wir nicht, dass diese Programme zur Verringerung der Ungleichheit im Schulsystem beitragen. Kapitel fünf behandelt die Untererfassung von Teilzeit in den administrativen Arbeitsmarktdaten, welche bis 2011 vorkam. Wir entwickeln eine Korrekturmethode für fehlerhalft als Vollzeit registrierte Teilzeitbeschäftigungsverhältnisse. Die Korrektur hat Auswirkungen auf die Entwicklung der Lohnungleichheit, aber auch die Müttererwerbstätigkeit. Zusammenfassend befasst sich meine Dissertation mit dem Zeitraum von der Geburt bis zur Grundschule und untersucht Effekte auf Mütter und Kinder. Darüber hinaus wird die fehlerhafte Erfassung von Teilzeitbeschäftigungen in den administrativen Arbeitsmarktdaten adressiert. Die Arbeit zielt darauf ab, wertvolle Erkenntnisse über die Auswirkungen von Transferleistungen und die Gestaltung von Grundschulprogrammen auf Familien in Deutschland zu liefern. / This dissertation examines various aspects related to maternal employment, fertility and the skill development of children in Germany. In chapter two, we develop an estimation method for the causal effect of the 2007 parental benefits reform in Germany. Therefore, we first estimate the "child penalty'' on employment outcomes, then we use the estimated child penalties before and after reform implementation to assess reform effects. We find that the reform had positive effects on medium-run employment. Chapter three focuses on the so-called "cash-for-care''-transfers for parents of children aged one to two. I find a significant reduction of employment for migrant mothers if the potential benefit amount is increased. There are positive effects on fertility for the average of the population. However, I do not find significant effects on the skill development of children. In chapter four, we study the expansions of German all-day schools and their impact on children's outcomes. Our findings reveal evidence of positive impacts on children's achievements. We also show significant positive peer effects from classmates attending all-day programs. However, we do not find significant evidence that these programs significantly contribute to decreasing inequality in the German school system. Chapter five addresses an important aspect in the administrative labor market data. By developing a correction for misreported part-time employment spells which happened in the years prior 2011. The corrected data have implications for studying wage inequality, but also for studying maternal employment as the part-time share is very high among mothers of young children. In summary, this dissertation studies the period from birth to primary school. It covers topics such as maternal employment, fertility and skill development. Additionally, it addresses the data problem of misreported part-time spells in the administrative labor market data and presents a correction methodology.
