A study of Han Yu's eulogy = Han Yu ji wen yan jiu / A study of Han Yu's eulogy = 韓愈祭文研究Kan, Man-yee, 簡敏兒 January 2013 (has links)
Han Yu (768-824) was a famous essayist in Tang Dynasty. He was one of the “Eight Great Prose Maters of the Tang and Song”(唐宋古文八大家)and had an important role in advocating the Classical Prose Movement(古文運動). His prose writings had a great influence on literature at that time and this contributed to a rising number of proses. His strong opposition of parallel prose(駢文) motivated the other literati to imitate his styled writings. As a result, there was no doubt that Han Yu was honored as a great prose writer because of his achievement in literary reform.
A study of Han Yu and his proses have been a hot topic in literary research for years. Despite Han Yu’s prose, his poetry was another focus of scholarly research. Nevertheless, a specific, comprehensive research on his eulogy was not yet founded. In response to this finding, this research is therefore aimed at a thorough analysis of his eulogies and his various images which are shown in his work.
This thesis begins with an introduction of previous contribution and achievement of Han Yu’s scholarly researches. The second chapter indicates how Han Yu links his life experience with his family’s or friend’s death in a eulogy. The third chapter aims at revealing the friendship of Han Yu and his friends. The following chapter is writing to explore Han Yu’s various ideas of the politics, the Heaven and the self-blaming attempt. The last chapter is a concluding section of the findings in Han Yu’s eulogy from the previous chapter. / published_or_final_version / Chinese Language and Literature / Master / Master of Arts

Word into image : cinematic elements in Caryl Phillips's fictionSu, Ping, 苏娉 January 2013 (has links)
Caryl Phillips, best known as a novelist, is a versatile writer who has also written for theater, radio, television and film. His experience in writing screenplays has made a considerable impact on the texture, style, technique and structure of his novels, which display either explicitly or implicitly many visual and formal features that resemble the narrative strategies of cinema.
This study explores the many ways in which the cinematic art has influenced Phillips’s writing, focusing specifically on his four major novels: The Final Passage, The Nature of Blood, Dancing in the Dark, and In the Falling Snow. The chapters of this dissertation demonstrate that Phillips’s sustained interest and work in the area of cinema have profoundly shaped his novelistic craft, which is visibly manifested in the form, style and even themes of his fiction. He has used techniques analogous to film substantially in his novels for the purpose of formal experimentation, demonstrating a filmic sensibility that contributes considerably to his uniqueness in theme, characterization and form, enriches the meaning of his texts, and enhances his writing in a great many ways. Thus a reading of his novels in relation to the language and grammar of cinema will lead to a deeper understanding of his fictional art.
This thesis uses cinema as an analytical framework to demonstrate the filmic quality of Phillips’s fiction. Chapter One discusses the dynamic exchanges, interactions, and cross-influences between the novel and film, thus establishing a theoretical context for a cinematic reading of Phillips’s major novels. Chapter Two investigates Phillips’s visual imagination by analyzing how literary equivalents of various camera shots such as long shots, medium shots, close-ups, pan shots, dolly shots, tilt shots, and freeze frames are produced by his use of language. It shows that Phillips visualizes his scenes as if through a camera lens, with medium shots, as a mode of characterization, predominating in his novels and sequences of shots displaying a recurring rhythm created by a continuous switching between the long, medium and short camera-to-object distances. Chapter Three, focusing on the editing processes, examines Phillips’s adaptive use of the different types of montages: quick sequences of brief shots, metaphorical montages, repetitive montages, jump cuts, parallel montages and flashback montages. This chapter demonstrates that the construction of literary montages in Phillip’s works has contributed to the author’s visual, rhythmic and concise language style and the predominance of different montage types in the four novels results in their distinct structural features. Chapter Four studies Phillips’s use of the cinematic devices of lighting, color and sound to illustrate that the three elements are a significant and expressive part of the author’s themes and narrative techniques. The reading of Phillips’s novels in the light of cinematic aesthetics will uncover some of the unexplored aspects of his fictional style, draw attention to those formal patterns that are associated with his literary translation of filmic devices, place him in the tradition of literary modernism, and ensure a fuller appreciation of his artistic achievement. / published_or_final_version / English / Doctoral / Doctor of Philosophy

A study of the appellations in twelve imperial mandates from the Book of Zhou = Zhou gao shi er pian cheng wei yan jiu / A study of the appellations in twelve imperial mandates from the Book of Zhou = 周誥十二篇稱謂研究Ko, Wing-hong, 高永康 January 2014 (has links)
The study of Shangshu or the Book of Documents 尚書has long been a popular subject in China since the Han dynasty 漢 (206 BC-220 AD). Numerous topics have been investigated and studied deeply by scholars throughout the years. They, however, rarely focus on the appellations in the book and thus this will be the main research area of this paper. In order to maintain the consistency of the study and avoid the problem of authenticity of the passages, only 12 chapters (also known as the twelve imperial mandates 周誥十二篇) from the Book of Zhou 周書, which are considered to be the original and real texts from the Western Zhou period 西周 (1046-771 BC), will be the corpus of this research.
By studying the appellations from the selected passages mentioned above, it aims at enriching the study of vocabulary of the Western Zhou period, identifying and investigating the meaning of appellation of ancient China, as well as studying the society of Western Zhou period from the perspective of appellation.
This thesis consists of six chapters. Chapter one generally introduces the study of appellation in Chinese history, the aims of this research, the definition of appellation and the research materials. Chapter two focus on the explanation of the appellations in twelve imperial mandates from the Book of Zhou. Chapter three investigates the difficulties of handling the appellations in the previous chapter, as well as the solutions to the problems. Chapter four discusses the characteristics of the appellations. Chapter five studies the human relationship and the political culture of Western Zhou period from the perspective of appellation and finally chapter six concludes the findings of the research. / published_or_final_version / Chinese Language and Literature / Master / Master of Arts
