title: BAI JUYI AND ORIGINS OF THE NEW YUEFU

value: Storozhuk, Alexander

dc.description.abstract

value:
The first poetic cycle of 50 New Yuefu was written by Bo Juyi (白居易, 772–846)
in 809 after the works of by his friend Li Shen (李紳, 772–846). Bo Juyi wrote it simultaneously
with another great Tang poet Yuan Zhen (元稹, 779–831), and the new literary
style has been known for centuries as Yuan-Bo (元白). Both of the poets shared the
same attitude towards the role of letters in the society and aspired to implement their
credo at the official posts they held. The origin of New Yuefu philosophy dates back at
least to 806, when he together with Yuan Zhen created the illustrious political composition
known as Celin (策林), where the bulk of their sociopolitical concepts were pronounced
and stated. Most of these notions, inspired by Fugu movement, seem quite
predictable and naive: the belief in an omni harmonizing role of ancient ritual, claim
of necessity to promote worthy and knowledgeable, appeal to stop war and cut taxes.
With all that this was a declaration of primary of benevolence over quasi orderliness, and this idea fully revealed later in New Yuefu poetry. Surely enough, New Yuefu have
not been limited to the 50 poems, inspired by Li Shen. The new poetic experience gave
birth to a whole literary trend, covering the most burning, up-to-date issues of contemporaneousness
as well as the nearest past, picturing typical characters of different
strata, pointing out social diseases and perils. The absolute trust in uppermost ritual
role of a text has been embodied in such texts as, for example, Song of Eternal Grief
(《長恨歌》), where the infamous story of Emperor Xuan-zong (玄宗, 685–762) and his
favorite concubine Yang Gui-fei (楊貴妃, 719–756) found a new interpretation, that later
would have become mainstream. Thus, the main conclusions are: 1) New Yuefu had
a philosophic basement, carried out long before the first poem of the new style appeared;
2) its main goal was to revive the actual social role of poetry; 3) it had a great
impact on the later Chinese poetry and social thought.

title: “POETRY CARVED IN STONE”: DOCUMENTARY, LITERARY AND CULTURAL CONNOTATION IN BAI JUYI’S POETRY INSCRIPTION

dc.contributor.author

value: Liu, Chongxi

dc.description.abstract

value:
The poetry inscription, with Bai Juyi in the Middle Tang Era as its representative,
began to express purely personal emotions in terms of content, which reflects
the poet’s creative individuality. Bai takes stone as his friend, loves it, chants it, and
inscribes poems on it, endowing it natural and personal qualities. Bai was the first poet
to consciously combine “poetry” and “stone” with nearly 20 kinds of poetry inscriptions.
Compared with book documents, Bai’s poetry inscriptions not only have the philological
value of text criticism, but also have multiple functions, i. e., reproducing the historical
context of poetry creation and transmitting as a “linguistic landscape”. Such humanistic
connotation determines the significance of Bai’s poetry inscription in the history of
Chinese literature and culture.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This paper takes the rhyme analysis of the famous poem Pulling up the Silver
Bottle from the Bottom of the Well in Bo Juyis New Yuefu as an example, discussing
three important issues in the study of Bo Juyi’s New Yuefu poetic form: 1) put forward
five differences between Bo Juyi’s New Yuefu and traditional Yuefu; 2) put forward “the
view that rhyme and passage are closely related” and discusse the characteristics of
rhyme segment, which reflects the plot structure of the poem and is highly consistent
with the music segment. As a poem of “preparing for music”, the New Yuefu has many
similarities with the traditional Yuefu in its poetic form; 3) put forward “the theory of
the relationship between Yuefu melody and emotion”. This theory is only applicable to
literature with musical accompaniment, such as New Yuefu; 4) put forward that the New
Yuefu has “colorful movement theory”.

In 2017, N. A. Orlova, a sinologist at the Institute of Oriental Studies of the
Russian Academy of Sciences, published Bai Juyi: One Hundred Jue-ju Poems. On the one
hand, according to the requirements of modern translation science, the book, based
on the original text, combined with the historical and cultural background of ancient
China and philosophical and religious concepts, refined the translation words and corrected
some mistakes of her predecessors. On the other hand, it suits the mainstream
tradition of Russian poetry and greatly improves the artistry of translation. However,
there are some flaws in Orlova’s translation, such as over interpretation and improper
interpretation, which need the joint efforts of Chinese and Russian literary translators
to further improve.

title: DO THEY UNDERSTAND, FALL IN LOVE OR MEET OCCASIONALLY? TWO WAYS OF ADAPTATION OF PIPA XING BY OPERA

It is now known that there are seven opera works adapted from Bai Juyi’s
poem Pipa xing. Although the story of Pipa woman is not recorded in historical books
and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false, Pipa Xing still provides good story
materials for opera creation. The story of Pipa Xing, which is adapted from opera, can
be divided into two types: one is the reunion of lovers, and the other is the lamentation
of life experience. There is a key plot difference between the two types of stories, that
is, whether Bai Juyi knew the pipa girl before they met. The judgment of these two types
of stories depends on the perspective of observation.

The article offers an analysis of some structural features of the poetic semantics
of the poem The Song of Everlasting Sorrow by Bai Juyi (白居易《长恨歌》, 806)
in biographical, historical and cultural contexts, and also draws a parallel with possible
prototypes. In this regard, the main purpose of the article is to consider some semantic
and structural connections related to the chronotope, archetypes and prototypes on
the material of the The Song. During the work on the study, it was found out that the
narrative model of “avoiding facts” (避实就虚) was used in the plot of the poem, superimposed
on factual material and related to the biography of the emperors Han Wudi
(汉武帝) and Tang Xuanzong (唐玄宗).

title: MYSTICISM AND FOLKLORE IN LIU ZHENYUN’S NOVEL LAUGHTER AND TEARS

dc.contributor.author

value: Rodionova, Oxana

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article examines the elements of mysticism and folklore in the novel
Laughter and Tears (2021) by Chinese writer Liu Zhenyun (born 1958). In modern Chinese
literature, there are many works in which everyday reality is described with the
help of mystical and folklore elements. Examples of this kind of narration are the prose
of Mo Yan, Jia Pingwa, Chen Zhongshi, Han Shaogong. In Liu Zhenyun’s novel Laughter
and Tears mysticism and folklore are not so much auxiliary means as a kind of framework
and play a plot-forming role. The legend of Hua Erniang, the legend of the White
Snake, the Yanjin “tales”, the reincarnations of the souls of the dead, the relocation of
ghosts into the bodies of people, traditional divination practices — all these are the
tools by which the fates of people, ghosts and immortals intersect and merge in the
novel. This kind of narration perfectly reflects the current state of folk culture and customs
in the Chinese hinterland, which in the novel is represented by Yanjin. Liu Zhenyun
skilfully uses folk tales and mystical elements to overcome the barriers between reality, imagination and fantasy, blurring the line between life and death. Having studied
the motives of the author’s use of elements of mysticism and folklore in the novel
Laughter and Tears, it can be argued that they are the driving force of the narrative and
are pivotal for the plot of the novel, developing and deepening it’s theme about the fate
of people and interpersonal relationships.

title: BAI JUYI AND MID-TANG CONFUCIAN REFORMATION

value: Xu, Xingwu

dc.description.abstract

value:
It is widely believed in the academic circles that the the cardinal drive behind
Confucianism’s revival during Mid-Tang’s cultural transformation was the “Ancient-Style
Prose Movement” led by Han Yu. Meanwhile, the “New Yuefu Movement” advocated by
Bai Juyi is also and expansion of this very “Ancient-Style Prose Movement”. If we re-examine
Bai Juyi’s propositions concerning poetry and his own verses, we can find that he
highly praised the radition of Confucian poetical education and imitated this canon in
his works. Combining studies over Confucian Classics and literature, Bai Juyi reinvented
the Confucian theory of human nature and emotion. His emphasis on “Yi Lei” (rhetoric
rules and types of poetry) and “Shi Shi” (current affairs) as well as expressions of social
and cultural sentiments in poetry, enriched the connotation of “Liu Yi” (Six Formations)
in studies over The Book of Songs. And his thoughts do bear the characteristics of Mid-
Tang Confucianism Reform.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The works of the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi have been selected for many
times into Chinese general language textbooks because of their popular significance
and aesthetic value. The overall length is as much as 15 articles, ranking second only
to Li Bo, Du Fu and Wang Wei. His poetry not only has a profound theoretical level, but
also is widely accepted by readers of different ages. The reason is that his poetry creation
has the characteristics of combining simplicity and sublime, which can naturally
integrate popularity and aesthetics, reflecting more real life in thought, and at the same
time has a high level of poetry theory. From the perspective of children’s literature, taking
the internal research of literature as the method, this paper attempts to conduct an
in-depth discussion on the theoretical guiding ideology, creative characteristics, writing
content and aesthetic dimensions of Bai’s poetry, and combined with specific works,
it analyzes the unique classical aesthetic phenomenon of giving consideration to the
popularity in the readers’ expectation vision and the literary nature of the rules of poetry
creation.

“Depend on Heaven for food” (kao tian chi fan, 靠天吃飯) is a well-known Chinese
proverb. The presumed author of this expression was Wen Kang (文康), his novel
Legend of Heroes and Heroines (儿女英雄傳) Ernü Yingxiong Zhuan first published in late
1870s became very popular. The expression “depend on Heaven for food” is from the
33rd chapter of the novel. Yet, the image under the title Picture Depend on Heaven for
Food (kao tian chi fan tu, 靠天吃飯圖) appeared earlier than novel: two stone steles dated
1813 with the same picture, but different commentary text. In the academician Vasyli
M. Alekseev’s collection of Chinese popular prints nianhua there are several engravings
on this subject, the explanations for which are in the notebooks of the Chinese xiansheng
mentors V. M. Alekseev to his collections of folk art (St. Petersburg Branch of the
Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences, fund 820, inv. 1, files 473, 479a). And finally
we can compare xiansheng comments to (kao tian chi fan tu, 靠天吃飯圖) with the essay
on the same subject by Lu Xun in his Qie Jie Ting Essay Collection (雜文集: 且介亭雜文二

The poet from the time of Tang dynasty (唐朝) Bai Juyi (白居易, 772–846) left
a lasting mark on the history of Chinese literature. His innovation in literature and free
spirit, which does not obey external requirements, are evident not only in his poetry,
but also in his prosaic texts. Nowadays his prose is relatively less well known than his
poetry. The paper presents a research on the reception of his work “A Script for the
Thatched Cottage in Mount Lu” 《( 庐山草堂记》) in Bulgaria. It was conducted through
surveys among Bulgarian students, who study Chinese, and students from other humanities
majors. Conclusions were drawn about the perception of this text and by
comparing the respondents’ answers, the importance of background knowledge for
the perception of this work was studied. A translation of this text has been presented
in Bulgarian for the first time. The article will also include an analysis of A Script for the
Thatched Cottage in Mount Lu, both based on students’ answers and through independent

This article systematically examines the Russian translation of Bо Juyi’s poems
by Russian sinologists in different periods and quantifies the evaluation of poetry
translation by using the “measure of liberty” and “measure of accuracy” of Russian literary
theorist M. L. Gasparov, through which we analyze the degree of relativity between
different translations and the original works. The Soviet period was the period when
Bо Juyi’s poems were most translated, and there were translations by Ju. K. Shucki,
B. A. Vasiliev, L. Z. Edlin, and V. F. Pereleshin. In the new era, Russian Sinology inherited
the tradition initiated by V. M. Alekseev, S. A. Toroptsev and N. A. Orlova continued
to translate Bо Juyi’s poetry with frequent excellent works. The article points out that
Russian sinologists attach importance to the reproduction of these factors of prosody,
such as rhymes, rhythms, and verse in translating Bо Juyi’s poems.

Wang Wei (699–759), an outstanding poet of the Tang period, was brought
up in a Buddhist environment from a young age and remained a follower of Buddhist
teachings throughout his life. Being a layman who chose the civil service career, he
was acquainted and communicated with monks of different schools of Buddhism. He
knew well canonical Mahayana scriptures that, clearly, had a certain impact on the poet’s
worldview and works, and in many ways became his source of inspiration. One of
these scriptures was undoubtedly the Vimalakirti Nirdesa Sutra (English: The Sutra of The
Teaching of Vimalakirti; Chinese: Weimojie suo shuo jing, 維摩詰所說經). In this paper, the
author, through the analysis of a number of Wang Wei’s works, makes an attempt to
identify the impact of the conceptual component of the sutra on the poet’s worldview,
which is transmitted in the themes and interpretations of his poems.

The first translation of the story by E. A. Poe was made in 1905 by the writer and translator
Zhou Zuoren. A surge of interest in the work of Edgar Allan Poe occurred in the
20–30s of the 20th century, both individual stories and entire collections of his works

value:
Lu Xun is a cultural giant standing in the cultural field of “post ancient” China’s
“great modern”, and is “the soul of modern Chinese nation”. In the period of “post
ancient” historical transformation, he created and formed the “great modern” cultural
view through the cultural running in of ancient, modern, Chinese and foreign cultures.
His understanding of culture has the following features: one should see changes from
antiquity to modernity, the greatness of chinese and foreign, and the feelings of people,
besides, it should become stronger, thanks to changes, openness to the world and
great love. All this clearly shows that the direction of “the new Chinese culture nation”,
which Lu Xun represented. People who devote themselves to Lu Xun’s research have found a very rich cultural thought and spirit from the cultural crystallization he created.
They can’t help but praise it as “Encyclopedia” and regard the corresponding research
as “Lu Xue (Learning of Lu Xun)”. The prosperity of “Lu Xue” is closely related to the Chinese
people’s pursuit of “great modern culture”. Lu Xun, an individual of ideology and
culture, accepted and created the ancient and modern cultural and ideological resources
he came into contact with, and formed his own cultural thoughts through creative
running in and integration. A single cultural resource can’t make Lu Xun. Understanding
Lu Xun with linear thinking or opposite thinking will inevitably lead to discrepancy. It is
the meeting and running in of various cultures that made Lu Xun complete, and thus
made it possible for “Chinese Lu Xun” to go to the world.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Bai Juyi’s poetry creation generally pursues the easy style, but there is also a
strong side in the easy style. The mutual integration and dialectical unity of easy style
and strong strength constitute the diverse features of his poetry. His poems often show
pride when writing about the theme of caring for the country and people’s livelihood,
strong and broad when writing about the natural landscape, and momentum in poems
on things. This heroic spirit is not only reflected in Bai Juyi’s allegorical poems, but
also in his leisure poems and sentimental poems. These poems are full of emotion.
Poet is good at selecting magnificent and vigorous images, words conveying power and
breadth, and often use vigorous images as metaphors. The heroic spirit in Bai Juyi’s
poetry is not only influenced by Du Fu, a poet of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and Liu
Yuxi, a poet of the same era, but also closely related to the overall atmosphere of advocating
heroism in the poetry circle of the middle Tang Dynasty; The Confucian spirit
hidden in his heart and the heroic spirit in his temperament are the internal root of the
heroic spirit in Bai poetry.

of the social status of actors, the composition of theatre troupes and their
varieties, repertoire, the ways of organization of performances, the management system
of troupes, etc. There are not so many “opera scenes” in the Dream of the Red
Chamber, but they cover a wide range of the existence of musical drama. Based on this
information, it is possible to identify the specifics of “house troupes” in the Qing period,
to consider the role, functions and influence of opera productions on the characters of
the novel, to trace the fate of the actors. The novel Dream of the Red Chamber is an inexhaustible

dc.description.abstract

value:
The Hanoi reprint edition of the Baojuan of Xiangshan (1772) is a rare text
of Chinese popular literature preserved out of China; it reproduces the edition from
Nanjing. It retells the legend of Princess Miaoshan, considered to be an earthly reincarnation
of Bodhisattva Guanyin, which is one of the most popular Buddhist narrative
subjects in China. This recension till recently remained almost unknown in the world
sinology. Special features of form and contents of this text prove its comparatively early
origins (15th — early 16th century). The unusual structure of the Baojuan of Xiangshan,
which includes quotations from the chapter “Gates of Universal Salvation” in the famous
Lotus Sutra, establishes its connection with this sacred book of Buddhism and
the tradition of Buddhist preaching with the use of sutra subjects that developed in
China in the earlier period (7th–13th centuries). This feature of text is very important for
the study of origins of baojuan genre and its development in the early period (14th–16th
centuries). The Baojuan of Xiangshan represents an early version of the Miaoshan legend,
in which Buddhist ideas were connected with Chinese concepts and realities. This
subject that formed in China ca. beginning of the 12th century represents adaptation
of Buddhist teaching, primarily aimed at lay folk believers. It is symptomatic that it enjoyed
popularity in the form of baojuan, designed to be recited for the broad audiences.

The genre of literary autobiography started its formation in China during the
New Culture Movement and entered a phase of rapid development by the end of the
1920s. A new understanding of autobiography as a generalized and objectified experience
of the writer generated the diversified and syncretic form based on the combination
of national tradition and foreign experience. The most representative works of that
period are Guo Moruo’s My Childhood (1928) and Hu Shi’s Self-narration at Forty (1933).
Based on the main characteristics of the genre of literary autobiography in world literature,

similarities and differences in authors’ approaches to the representation of personality,
as well as to reveal typological features of the Chinese literary autobiography genre of

The article is devoted to the study of Mongolian-Chinese literary relations
during the Middle Ages. The literary process of medieval Mongolia is characterized by
the development in a wide context of literary and cultural relationships with the literatures
of Central Asia, South Siberia and the Far East, which was due to both the
geographical location and the socio-political situation of the country, starting from the
13th century. When studying the problems of Mongolian-Chinese relations, it is important
for us to consider the creative synthesis of two neighboring cultures, which
stimulates the development and mutual enrichment of literary and folklore traditions.
Mongolian-Chinese literary relations are characterized by development in two stages.
The first stage is associated with the formation of the Yuan dynasty of the Mongols
in China (1271–1368). It was during this period that the foundations were laid for the
unification, synthesis of two different cultures within the framework of one state and
the further development of the process of historical and cultural relations. The second
stage is characterized by the entry of Mongolia into the Manchu Qing Dynasty of China
(1644–1911). It was during this period that the synthesis of the Mongolian-Chinese folklore
and literary traditions reached its apogee: a new genre appeared called “book tale”
(bensen uliger); numerous translations of Chinese narrative prose, in particular novels,
lead to the creation of the genre of the novel — historical, family and everyday — in
Mongolian literature. A notable achievement in this genre was the work of the outstanding
writer, the first Mongolian author of novels, V. Injannash.

In the 1980s appeared a new generation of female writers (Zhang Jie, Tie
Ning, Wang Anyi, Can Xue), whose names are associated with the formation of contemporary
Chinese women’s prose, which is characterized by deep psychologism and
various female characters. The difficulty of studying Chinese women’s literature lies
directly in the manifestation of gender traits. The purpose of the report is to analyze
the representation of female consciousness in the fiction of Chinese female writers of
the 1980s to the mid-1990s (Zhang Jie, Can Xue, Wang Anyi, etc).

title: ON HISTORY OF TRUTHFUL BIOGRAPHY — THE FIRST ANTHOLOGY OF TRANSLATIONS OF MODERN CHINESE PROSE INTO RUSSIAN LANGUAGE

dc.contributor.author

value: Rodionov, Alexey

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper involves archival materials, scientific literature and the information
system of the Beijing Lu Xun Museum to examine the history of the preparation
and circumstances of the publication of the first collection of translations of modern
Chinese prose into Russian — Truthful Biography. Novellas and Stories of Modern China
published by the Molodaya gvardiya Publishing House in 1929. The author concludes
that the publication of the collection Truthful Biography was a logical result of the attention
of the Soviet Union to the China engulfed by the revolution. Shortcomings in the
translation of literary texts reflect not only the insufficient level of Chinese language
proficiency among some translators, but also the lack of traditions and norms of translation
of modern Chinese literature in the Soviet Union in the late 1920s. Nevertheless,
the collection Truthful Biography. Novellas and Stories of Modern China can be considered
a starting point in the translation of modern Chinese literature into Russian and the
beginning of the involvement of specialists in modern China in the Soviet Union in the
study of Chinese literature.

title: LITERARY TRADITION IN CONTEMPORARY CONTEXT: PEACH BLOSSOM SPRING AND DREAM JOURNEY IN SOUTH KOREAN LITERATURE

dc.contributor.author

value: Guryeva, Anastasia

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper deals with contemporary representations of two classical plot
models: Peach Blossom Spring (武陵桃源) and Dream Journey (夢遊錄) originated in Chinese
literature tradition and were peculiarly developed in pre-modern Korean literature.
The paper discusses their representations in South Korean poetry and prose. The
analysis shows, that Peach Blossom Spring as a social utopia enters Korean literature
both in an ironical context and as an opposition to the city life preoccupied with everyday
vanity. The majority cases is when it serves the base for contemporary stories of an
ideal place quest with the protagonist realizing the false character of the ideal. The case
of the reversed usage of the Dream Journey plot in the existential story The Journey to
Mujun by Kim Seung-ok has been analysed by the A. F. Trotsevich. The paper will render
another case with a lost opportunity to wake up after the realization of mistakes. The
paper bases on the works of widely known South Korean writers/poets as Choe In-ho,
Jeong Hyon-jong, Ha Il-ji and others making the conclusion on the main transformational
trends in the plot models.

This article is devoted to the review of translations and dissemination of contemporary
Russian literature in China, which begins in the mid-1980s. It contains three
parts. The first part presents the achievements in the translation and dissemination of
contemporary Russian literature in China. According to the number of editions of translated
individual books, contemporary Russian writers are divided into four ranks. Alexander
Solzhenitsyn belongs to the first rank, who has 26 editions of translated works.
The second rank includes 5 writers with 10–20 editions of translated works. They are
Nikolai Leonov, Yuri Bondarev, Daniil Granin, Viktor Astafiev and Sergey Lukyanenko.
The third rank includes 21 writers with 2–8 editions of translated books. For example,
Lyudmila Ulitskaya, Valentin Rasputin, Vladimir Makanin and others. The fourth rank
includes 37 writers who have one work translated into Chinese in a separate book. The second part of the article provides a detailed analysis of the main incentives for
the translation and dissemination of contemporary Russian literature in China.Chinese
publishing houses play the biggest role in organizing translation and release. Many
translated works are also published in various magazines. In recent years, the governments
of Russia and China actively support the publication of literary works. The third
part of the article puts forward problems in the organization of translation and dissemination
of contemporary Russian literature in China, as well as offers appropriate
recommendations and tips for solving these problems.

Translation activities during the Anti-Japanese War were done in particular
contexts, greatly influenced by the social and historical background at that time.
Combining the quantitative and qualitative research, this article deeply investigates the contextual adaptation rules in Chinese translation of wartime Russian and Soviet
Literature based on Russian-Chinese parallel corpus. It analyses the ordinary people
vernacular-focused variation mechanism of intra-linguistic context, the reconstruction
mechanism of situational context with the great tension of Anti-Japanese War social
background, and also the assimilation mechanism of cultural context under the special
requirements of wartime culture. Historical experience can help inspire and enlighten

Two rare sources, the Map of Russia (《俄國輿地圖》) and the Records of the
Lands Located on the Left Bank of the River (《江左輿地記》), are of considerable interest to
those who study the 19th century history of border interactions between Russia, Korea, and China, or the history of the Korean community in the Primorskiy region of Russia.
These rare documents assumed to be one of the first attempts to represent 19th century
Russia by Koreans. It appeared at a time when the Korean royal court, trying to get
rid of China’ centuries-old trusteeship, to limit Japan’s colonial aspirations, and to find
an alternative for the encroachments from Western countries, began to strengthen its
relations with Russia. The author discusses the manuscripts authorship, the probable
time of its writing, while using newly found materials from archives of Japan Ministry

The images of Orthodox churches in the Natalia Ilyina’s books are fragmentary,
but with careful reading they allow us to restore the cultural image of Harbin in the
first half of the twentieth century. Natalia Ilyina never writes the full names of temples
and, most often, uses the word “church” in books. The writer tells about a variety of Orthodox
places in Harbin: St. Nicholas Cathedral (St. Nicholas Cathedral) Cathedral (not
far from it the writer lived in the first years of her stay in Harbin), as well as a number
of other Harbin churches: St. Sophia Cathedral (the Church of St. Sophia, St. Sophia
Church), the temple of the Iver Icon of the Mother of God, the Alekseevskaya Church in
Modyagou (the name of one of the districts of Harbin), the Kazan-Bogoroditsky Monastery
and the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin. Natalia Ilyina associates
the Orthodox Church not only with religion, but with the space in which the heroes of
the books dream about their future, go through difficult times of personal and public
life, and remember Russia.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Konstantin Sergeevich Stanislavsky is the most influential theater director
of the Soviet era in the first half of the 20th century. The system he created, which is
based on the “art of experiencing”, had a profound impact on the performing arts of
the 20th century. Since it was introduced into China in the 1940s, it has played a very
important role in the development of contemporary Chinese drama performance art in
the 1950–1960 years. In the 1960–1970, Stanislavsky was criticized in China. Since the
late 1970s, although Stanislavsky has been vindicated in China, his importance has correspondingly
weakened with the popularity of Brecht. It can be said that the encounter
of Stanislavsky in China is a typical example, reflecting acceptance and interpretation
of Russian Soviet literature and art in China. To some extent, this tendency obscures
the real value of Russian Soviet literature and art. It is a problem worthy of reflection.

title: TRADITIONS OF STUDYING AND TEACHING MODERN MONGOLIAN LITERATURE AT ST. PETERSBURG STATE UNIVERSITY

dc.contributor.author

value: Petrova, Maria

dc.description.abstract

value:
Study of Mongolian literature at St. Petersburg University began in the 19th
century. In 1855, as part of the reorganization of Oriental studies in Russia, Faculty
of Oriental Languages was transferred from Kazan to St. Petersburg. A. M. Pozdneev
(1851–1920) was the first to systematically study Mongolian literature at the department.
Academician B. Ya. Vladimirtsov (1884–1931) significantly developed and
deepened research in the field of Mongolian literature. An outstanding academician
S. A. Kozin (1879–1956) made a huge contribution to the study of Mongolian literature.
From 1937 to 1976 T. A. Burdukova (1912–1987) taught at the Department of Mongolian
Philology. In 1953, after completing her postgraduate studies at the Department
of Mongolian Philology, L. K. Gerasimovich (1923–2015) began her teaching career. In
1987, M. P. Petrova (born 1964) was hired as an assistant at the Department of Mongolian
Philology. For more than half a century of the existence of the Faculty of Asian and African Studies within the walls of St. Petersburg University, the Department of
Mongolian Philology (later — department of Mongolian Studies and Tibetology) has
developed a strong tradition of studying and teaching new and latest Mongolian literature.
And today we can talk about the presence at St. Petersburg State University of its
own scientific school of research into the history of the development of literature of the
Mongolian-speaking peoples of the world.

title: LITERATURE TRANSPLANTATION OF TYPOLOGY: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF YUAN MEI’S AND G. R. DERZHAVIN’S NATURE POEMS

dc.contributor.author

value: Liu, Yading

dc.description.abstract

value:
The application of typology to linguistic research has obtained abundance
production in China, Britain and the United States, but there are no examples of its
application in Chinese and English literature studies, except for some cases of comparative
literature studies in the Soviet Union. This paper compares the nature poems
of Chinese poet Yuan Mei and Russian poet Derzhavin in the 18th century from
three levels: concept, imagery and texture. From the conceptual level, Yuan Mei (the
subjectivity) keeps close contact with nature (the objectivity) without the help of God
as an intermediary, while Derzhavin creates the trinity of man, god and nature. From
the level of imagery, Yuan Mei is fonder of static description, and Derzhavin is more
interested in tracking the dynamic process of nature. From the textural level, the third
person description of the objective “speaker” in Yuan Mei’s poems is more frequent,
while the “speaker’s” participation in Derzhavin’s poems is more noticeable. This paper
also describes a method of making a mesoscopic and macroscopic comparative study
of different countries’ literature by means of typology.

value:
Until the introduction of printing technology during the 19th century, Siamese
literature was disseminated and passed on in manuscript form only. Unfavorable
climatic conditions, various adverse historical events and a lack of institutions
responsible for the preservation of literary manuscripts hamper modern-day scholarly
efforts to reconstruct Siamese literary history. In order to broaden the evidential
basis available to scholars of pre-modern Siamese literature, qualitative as well as
quantitative data were drawn from inventory lists of two manuscript collections, which
hitherto had been in the possession of Prince-Patriarch Phra Paramanuchit Chinorot
(1790–1853) and Prince Rakronnaret (1791–1848). Despite these records’ limited number
and scope, they offer valuable insights into the size and composition of two private
libraries, access to ancient and contemporary literary texts, as well as into the tastes of
a highly educated mid-19th-century elite readership.

title: THE PROJECTION OF THE NATIONAL INTEGRATION AND COLONIAL HISTORY: THE IMPLIED MEANING OF THE IMAGE OF “MOUNTAIN PEOPLE” IN THE LEGENDS OF TŌNO

dc.contributor.author

value: Liu, Limei

dc.description.abstract

value:
The Legends of Tōno by Yanagita Kunio (1875–1962) is considered to be a
Japanese folklore classic and an excellent literary work as well. This fact caused a
long-standing debate about the “authenticity” and “fictionality” of this work. This article
analyzes the key part of the book — the “mountain people” series of stories, and finds
that this image has three prototypes in the real world: monsters in folk belief, the Ainu
people of Japan, and the indigenous peoples of colonial Taiwan. This article further
analyzes Yanagida Kunio’s attitude towards Japanese colonialism and finds that he fundamentally
opposed the barbarism of Japanese colonialism. In the text of The Legends
of Tōno, the author arranged three narrative models of the “mountain people scare
the villagers” and finally constructed a holistic literary narrative logic, showing the ideal
model of peaceful coexistence between lowlanders and mountain people, or colonizers
and indigenous peoples.

senior students of the Department of Korean Studies at St. Petersburg State University.
The writer outlined all the most important points for understanding her creative path
and expressed her thoughts about the purpose of literature. From this point of view,
it is interesting to examine the author’s views against the background of the historical
and socio-cultural context of that period (early 90s of the last century) and to identify
both the universal and author’s vision of literary creativity. The study is relevant due to
the growth of scientific and public interest to modern South Korean literature and to
the problems of intercultural communications.

value:
The conducted interdisciplinary study of the state control of compliance with labour legislation is aimed at realizing the goal set by the authors, which is achieved through the complex application of legal and economic
methods. Doctrinally and theoretically, the authors have analyzed the control mechanisms for compliance with labor legislation, examining them through the prism of normative systematics and in the aspect of their economic effects on traditional and alternative forms of employment.
The conclusions and recommendations that are drawn in the individual parts of the work are in response to the specific research tasks. Here they are summarized and will be presented in the two main axes of the study, namely legal and economic aspects of the issues.
As a result of the first axis, around which the research was conducted, namely the legal aspects of state control, the set objective for the analysis of the national legislation on the control of compliance with labour rights, as
well as for the examination of the new actual moments in the legal regulation on the transposition of European norms in the field of control of compliance with labour legislation in Bulgaria is realized.
The historical part of the study traces the genesis in the development of the legal institut of control in Bulgarian labour law, as the periodization corresponds to the historical stages from the liberation of the country to
the present day. This chronological order shows not only the dependence of control on social relations, but also traces its place and role in protecting labour rights during the different stages.

value: Нейронные сети, которые широко используются при обработке изображений, являются мощными инструментами для извлечения признаков из изображений. Доказано, что сверточные нейронные сети (CNN) чрезвычайно эффективны при обработке видео. Видео - это совокупность изображений, снятых в различные моменты времени. В результате видео имеет как пространственное, так и временное измерение. Из-за шума, низкой контрастности и большой вариабельности данных в полученных изображениях автоматическая локализация метастатического поражения органов по ультразвуковым изображениям довольно сложна. Цель работы в выявлении очаговых форм метастатических поражений печени на видеозаписях ультразвуковых исследований. На основе небольших наборов данных создаются смещенные модели. Обучение переносу и тонкая настройка помогают решить проблему. В работе использована переданная техника обучения с сетью VGG16 в качестве базовой модели, которая была доработана. Карта псевдоколоризации отображает области, представляющие интерес для определенного слоя в сверточной нейронной сети, в данном случае последнего плотного слоя модели. На основе тестового набора видеозаписей получена точность классификации в 83,3%. Модель может быть встроена в диагностические системы, чтобы помочь врачам в постановке диагноза.

value: Neural networks, which are widely used in image processing, are powerful tools for extracting features from images. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been proven to be extremely effective in video processing. A video is a collection of images taken at different points in time. As a result, video has both spatial and temporal dimensions. Due to noise, low contrast, and high variability in the acquired images, automatic localization of metastatic organ damage from ultrasound images is difficult. The aim of the work is to detect focal forms of metastatic liver lesions in ultrasound video recordings. Biased models are created from small datasets. Transfer learning and fine-tuning help to solve the problem. The work uses a transfer learning technique with the VGG16 network as the base model, which has been refined. The saliency map shows areas of interest for a particular layer in the convolutional neural network, in this case, the last dense layer of the model. Based on a test set of videos, a classification accuracy of 83.3% is obtained. The model can be embedded in diagnostic systems to assist doctors in making a diagnosis

dc.description.abstract

value:
Sociological polls and other sources, as well as electoral statistics, show that Soviet power in 1918–
1989 met the main criteria for legitimacy. In 1918–1929, the majority of voters, and in 1931–1989 over 83 % of the
electorate, were loyal to the Soviet regime, trusted the communists and the general course and current policy,
were satisfied with the status as ordinary builders of socialism, and believed in the socialist project. Official information
on turnout and voting is trustworthy, although it has serious shortcomings and likely underestimates the scale of the protest vote (failure to appear, damage to ballots, voting against). Election results were influenced
by electoral laws, propaganda, and control over the course of voting. However, clean elections have never happened
anywhere. The legitimacy of power in any civilized country was supported by developed propaganda, and
in the USSR it was not more powerful than, for example, in the USA or Germany. The study allows us to assume
that until the mid-1980s the people’s confidence in Soviet power was ensured not so much by propaganda as,
first, by achievements of the USSR, which were considered by the majority of the population to be real, significant,
and deserving of respect; second, by faith in the socialist project; and third, by peculiarities of political culture of
the peasantry and the proletariat inherited from pre-revolutionary times. From their perspective, the people interacted
with authorities and participated in management. The socialist project for only a small minority represented
only a grandiose myth, a gigantic propaganda campaign, and an adventure or scam of world-historical scale.

dc.description.abstract

value: The purpose of this paper is to identify the factors affecting the business climate in the Moscow Region municipalities, to determine the nature of this influence, and on this basis to formulate recommendations for improving the business climate. The concept of “business climate” is treated as a combination of objective and subjective factors that affect entrepreneurial activity in a particular area. Based on the analysis of methods for assessing the business climate and the availability of data, factors such as financial support for small and medium-sized businesses, the level of development of urban infrastructure, the functioning of co-working centers, the difficulty of registering a business, obtaining licenses and permits for activities, the difficulty of paying taxes and finding personnel were selected, as well as a subjective assessment of the level of infrastructure development, the attitude of society towards entrepreneurs. In accordance with the results obtained, the level of development of urban infrastructure and the ease of registering a business make the entrepreneurial climate of the municipality more favorable and have a significant positive impact on entrepreneurial activity. According to the results of the survey, it can be concluded that the greatest difficulty for entrepreneurs is the search for personnel with the necessary qualifications. The number of coworking centers does not have a statistically significant impact on the level of entrepreneurial activity. The results obtained largely consistent with the findings of other studies. Thus, in order to improve the business climate, it is important to develop the urban environment, as well as to simplify the procedure for registering a business. It is recommended to hold more events (for example, job fairs in educational institutions) that will help entrepreneurs find qualified specialists, organize special programs for advanced training and retraining of personnel. In addition, it is recommended to expand the list of factors taken into account to assess the business climate in the Moscow Region and include the attitude of society towards entrepreneurs, as well as the level of development of urban infrastructure and the ease of business registration.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Modern interest in the problem of human free will is largely centered on artificial
intellect and transhumanism concepts. However, within a physicalist framework, in
contrast with medieval thought, this issue is not considered to belong to the area
of metaphysics. The article describes historical features of Eastern and Western
approaches to this problem. The contrast between the ancient worldview and the
Christian standpoint is discussed, as well as the complicated issue of the autonomy
of will in coordination with Providence, which demands antinomic combination of
divine omniscience and the optionality of human choice. The nature of this antinomy
was understood based on an incorrect description of spiritual and divine worlds
by means of a language based on classical logic principles, which include empirical
laws of rough matter. It is noted that in Western European tradition an attempt to go beyond the classical logic framework was made by Molinists in the doctrine of
Middle Knowledge. The problem of the will in Eastern patristics was thoroughly
investigated by Maximus the Confessor, who affirms that free will, unlike freedom
of choice, is not actuality, but a certain goal for a person.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is devoted to the consideration of one of the episodes of the Buddhist-
Christian dialogue, which was actively held in the last decades of the 20th century. The
immediate cause of the discussion was the work of the Japanese thinker Abe Masao
(1915–2006) “Kenotic God and Dynamic Sunyata”, where Abe compared the Buddhist
concept of emptiness and the Christian idea of kenosis, “the self-emptying of
God”. Abe Masao was one of the representatives of the Kyoto School of Philosophy,
which existed in Japan since the beginning of the 20th century, and the idea of comparing
the concepts of emptiness and kenosis was also considered by other members
of this philosophical community. The philosophers of the Kyoto School developed
methods of interpreting kenosis using the paradoxical Mahayana logic of “simultaneous
identification and differentiation” (soku-hi). This logic can be described by the
formulas: “A is not A, and therefore A” or “A is if and only if A is not A”. The first paradoxical
logic of soku-hi was formulated by D. T. Suzuki (1870–1966). Nishida Kitaro
(1870–1945), the founder of the Kyoto School of Philosophy, and his followers used
this idea in comparative studies of the basic concepts of Buddhism and Christianity.
In conclusion, one of the ways of perception of Christianity by Japanese thinkers
through the prism of Buddhist philosophical approaches is shown.

The article is devoted to the study of the current stage of development of the Christian

as one of the aspects of the modern theory and practice of Russian confessional
pedagogy from the standpoint of the theology of education. The article provides a
brief overview of the emergence, development and current state of the educational
model of the Seventh — Day Adventist Christian Church in Russia, which is represented
by the Religious Spiritual Educational Organization of Higher education
Zaoksky University of the Seventh-Day Adventist Christian Church (Zaoksky Adventist
University, ZAU). This article substantiates the status of ZAU as a non-state
educational institution of higher education, the ideological, worldview core of the
educational model of which has a confessional religious character. The theological
part itself is quite adequately combined with the secular-minded components of the
vocational education. This phenomenon is connected to the fact that the training
and educational process take place both according to programs corresponding to
Federal State Educational Standard (FSES) and confessional university educational
programs at the same time. The reasonable conclusion of this article is presented by
the review of the educational religious model of reproduction of pedagogical workers
created in ZAU, capable of both qualified working in confessional educational
institutions and working in the secular educational sphere.

The article is devoted to the problem of regional consolidation of the episcopate in
the Late Antiquity. The author tried to show that such processes were developing at
once in two interconnected, but fundamentally different planes: hierarchical, which
implied primacy of some sees within a particular region, and “party”, associated with
the division of the episcopate in the framework of the Arian controversy in small
consolidated groups (“micro-parties”), coordinating their theological positions and
church-political activities. At the same time, although the “party” mechanisms were
often more effective in the conditions of church-political struggle, they could not, in
principle, be translated into a normative plane, while hierarchical principles found
some fixation in the ecclesiastical canons. After examining in detail the evidence of
sources related to the relationship of St Ambrose of Milan and the Illyrian episcopate,
the author came to the conclusion that these contacts fit rather into the “party”
paradigm and were largely determined by the regional confrontation between
Nicenes and Homoians. In this regard, the current idea about the struggle between
Milan and Rome for the hierarchical subordination of the Illyrian Churches do not
seem to be justified.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The interaction of religious and public life is one of the most important problems
in any state. The church or any other religious organization, claiming the authority
of “higher morality”, in its activities invariably strives to acquire some of the functions
traditionally inherent in power structures — determining the most important
directions for the development of society, the goals of development itself, as well as
interpreting the main events taking place in the country, according to concepts of
faith. The article examines the influence of religious institutions on socio-political
processes in the United States both in the past and in modern periods. The history
of the United States begins with the appearance of representatives of Protestant
sects, who, due to religious oppression, were forced to emigrate from Europe in the
middle of the 17th century. These communities brought with them the ideas of not
only religious exclusivity, messianism, but also the state system. One of the most
important factors shaping the American political space, along with the economic,
political and military, has always been the religious factor. The role of religion and
religious institutions in the political life of this country has always been exceptional,
without which not a single significant process has taken place in this area.

dc.description.abstract

value:
A significant group of new religious movements in modern Russia consists of structures
of Orthodox genesis, usually referred to as para-Orthodox sects. The total
number of their adherents is estimated at tens of thousands of people, which are
fairly evenly distributed throughout our country and a number of neighboring
states. The number of scientific studies devoted to this phenomenon is not too large,
while with the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, their activity has
increased dramatically and has acquired in many cases an openly extremist character. Currently, some para-Orthodox sects are banned on the territory of the Russian
Federation, and their leaders regularly become defendants in criminal cases of incitement
to hatred. This article attempts to define the criteria for the division of the
categories “schism” and “para-Orthodox sect”, and also offers a classification of such
sects and sectarian groups by the type of leadership, genesis, dominant doctrine
and time of occurrence. Separately, the question of the main myths and rumors that
exist in this environment is addressed, it is also concluded that it is necessary to
develop specialized courses on the phenomenon of such sects within the framework
of theological education.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper is devoted to the transformation of the structure of the logical-ontological
concepts of the doctrine of Cyril of Alexandria in the treatise of Severus of Antioch
“Against the wicked Grammarian”. The question is raised about the sources of
Severus’ teaching about the general and particular and the hypothesis is put forward
about the existence of such a teaching in Cyril of Alexandria. A selective comparison
of the quotations from Cyril of Alexandria quoted by Severus of Antioch and the interpretations
of the data proposed by Severus is carried out. On the basis of this, five
points are proposed in which, as Sevier believed, he follows the bishop of Alexandria.
It is concluded that the key problematic point, according to which Severus could not
clearly demonstrate his dependence on Cyril of Alexandria, is the interpretation of
the concepts of “genus” and “species” in relation to the common (deity and humanity).
The analysis of those passages from the writings of Cyril of Alexandria, in which
both of these terms are used, is carried out. It is concluded that for Cyril of Alexandria,
“genus and species” were a formula for describing an undifferentiated common,
and even where genus and species are opposed, “genus” corresponds to an
undifferentiated common, and “species” practically coincides with hypostasis. On
this basis, the conclusion is made about the continuity of the logical-ontological
model of Cyril of Alexandria in the works of Severus of Antioch, which, however,
does not mean the continuity of the Christological model.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In the article, on the basis of general methodological foundations characteristic of
pedagogical science as a whole, the methodological structure of Orthodox pedagogy
is built and its uniqueness is shown. The analysis is based on the author’s seven-
component model of the system of methodological foundations of pedagogical
science. The proposed model makes it possible to identify the main methodological principles of pedagogy based on one or another worldview foundation. Thus, in
the work, on the basis of the Orthodox worldview, the pedagogical strategy and
pedagogical tactics of Orthodox education are formulated and its main content and
leading means are determined. The advantage of the article lies in the fact that, from
the point of view of the Orthodox dogma, it gives clear definitions of the concepts of
training, upbringing and education, and also defines the type of pedagogical structure,
the professional and anthropological ideal of a teacher for Orthodox pedagogy.
The peculiarity of the article is that the main methodological foundations of Orthodox
pedagogy as a science are given in comparison with the methodological foundations
of Soviet materialistic and atheistic pedagogy. The main ideas of the article
are illustrated in detail with quotations and references to the works of the Holy Fathers
and the work of both pre-revolutionary and post-Soviet teachers who worked
in the field of Orthodox pedagogy. The article is addressed to scientists, teachers
of pedagogical disciplines of theological schools, undergraduate and graduate students,
conducting research at the intersection of theology and pedagogy.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The present text is the first part of the study which examines the idea of Severus of
Antioch on transforming the language of theology on the way from Triadology to Christology and the critique given to it in Leontius of Byzantium’s treatise “Refutation
of syllogisms of Severus”. As per Severus, the Incarnation of God the Word
requires modification also in the theological language of description and confession
of this pivotal dogma for Christianity as compared with the language manifested in
speculations of Cappadocian Fathers concerning the description by human wording
and confession of the dogma of consubstantiality of the hypostases of the Trinity.
The project of modification of the conceptual content of theological language
constitutes a fundamental aspect of the entire concept system of Severus’ theology,
with, however, only two texts extant where this project is represented as a specific
idea of reform of the theological language initiated by a mystical act of transformation
of the nature of things in the event of the Incarnation. The texts meant are the
preserved fragment of the third Severus’ letter to hegumen John and Chapter III of
Leontius of Byzantium’s treatise “Refutation of syllogisms of Severus”, where this
idea of Severus is formulated by a Severian opponent of Leontius and the latter, in
the course of the dialog, gives an extensive critical response to it. In the first part of
the study, the context of these texts is considered from the viewpoint of the theological
and historical context of stage change in the Monophysite polemics.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article presents an excursion into the history of the origin of the scientific discipline
of “church law” in the system of humanitarian knowledge of the Russian Empire in the 19th century. Church law throughout the 18th century was considered part of
the spectrum of theological disciplines and was developed exclusively by professors
of theology. The idea of teaching “ecclesiastical jurisprudence” in secular universities
of the Russian Empire remained controversial for a long time. But with the change in
the Statutes of Imperial Universities at the beginning of the 19th century, the practice
of teaching church law began to enter university education. By the middle of the
19th century, the situation had completely transformed; church-legal topics became
the object of scientific research by secular lawyers and jurists. The article reflects the
institutional changes in the field of university education that have influenced the
state of teaching church law. The work demonstrates the evolution of methods and
approaches within the discipline of “church law”. Institutional changes in the charters
of secular educational institutions gave a powerful impetus to the development of a
unified methodology for teaching church law. Two research areas (theological and
legal) that dominate the system of church law have improved this discipline, enriching
it with methodological findings. In conclusion, the complexity and relevance of
this problem in the study of church law at the present stage is presented.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article attempts to reconstruct the soteriological concept of reverend Ambrose
of Optina based on his epistolary heritage. Considering the difference in the eldership
guidance of the laity and the monastics, in this article we analyze only letters
to the laity. Therefore, this concept is constructed by us through the prism of the
teachings of the reverend Ambrose to his spiritual lay children. The article uses a
systematic and source-based analysis, which allows us to discover that the ideas
about the path of salvation of the reverend Ambrose have their own system. As a
result, we come to the conclusion that the starting point of Christian salvation is
being in the Orthodox Church, according to the Optina elder. Being in the Church,
the path to union with God begins with the “external”, which is characterized by
bodily feats, sorrows and illnesses. But it becomes more significant to strive for the
“internal”, which is characterized by the following: fulfillment of the gospel commandments, participation in the sacraments of the Church, consciousness of one’s
sinfulness and submission to the will of God. However, even in attaining the Gospel
way of life, the Christian believer, from the point of view of Elder Ambrose, must
recognize his powerlessness in the matter of salvation and rely on the Redemptive
Feat accomplished by Jesus Christ. Thus, we present the soteriological model of the
Optina elder in the form of a triad: “external”, “internal” and “transcendental”.
