Country fellows described by Shen Congwen always observe and criticize urban people with a unique criterion.This is a typical form of exoticism,i.e.the impression of country fellows on cities.The narrations of urban readers reveal a sociological distance,and it is also a distinction in terms of ethnology,sex,and generation.This observed conflict between the rural and urban is reflected by enantiosis and irony.The writer,whose tone is not publicized and whose language is characterized by selfrestraint,refused the authority of the narrators.The result,coming from narrating practice,is a distance between discourse and its subject,and is also a harmony between the world he created and him.

On the surface level, Shen Cengwen's novels are conspicuous of morality and they lacked a sense of history.However, from the dual perspectives of history and morality, we find that both historical sense and morality sense are mixed in his novels, making a unique feature of Shen's novels.One of the representations is the oblique and wandering standpoint of the narrator, the other is the infiltration of the two, i.e. history is questioned by morality, whereas morality is inspected by history, which caused such aesthetic features as ideality, tragedy, and embodiment in his novels.

Philosophical discourse, different from daily, artistic and scientific discourse, shows such basic characteristics of its own as the unique meaning, the determinate connotation, the abundant implication in simple words, and the precise logicality.It’s the diversity of philosophical terms that makes the diversity of philosophical discourse.Philosophical discourse may be classified from various perspectives such as its immediate source, its application range, its national features, and its affiliated philosophical branches.Philosophical discourse doesn’t indeed pursue a kind of deliberate mystification, but the fierce changeability of the world drives it into a kind of plausible mystification.

Nietzsche defined the spiritual situation caused by “the death of God” as nihilism.According to him, nihilism was the destruction of value, and he tried to repulse it with aestheticism.While Heidegger argued that aestheticism did not help in extricating people from the predicament of nihilism;and aestheticism would be deconstructed by nihilism on the contrary.Only when people shake off the shackles of metaphysics and acknowledge receptivity toward the being itself could they embark on "returning".

Mu Dan's poems, describing the experience of individual survivors, were different from others in the chorus of national revolutionary war.Compared with the mainstream literature thought, which followed a mode of revolutionary classicalism-collective logos-survival or death of the nation-lofty singing, Mu dan's poems were of the mode of modernism-individual experience-significance of survival-painful torture.His modernism was embodied in his denial to war, to reality, and to the capitalized self as well as in his ultimate pursuit of the significance of life.Mu succeeded the national criticism ideology and surpassed didacticism, whose poems gave deep moans of the soul in the storm of national revolutionary war.Isolated, weak, and disharmonious with the thematic revolutionary classicalism as his poems were, they still held an important position in history.

After the dominant position of the study of Confucian classics was determined in the Western Han Dynasty,writers of Fu (ode) consciously tried to get close to it in their writing,hoping to enhance Fu's political position and function.However,the monarchs,as the main receptors of Fu,expected it as a means of entertainment and demolished this effort consciously or unconsciously,causing the separation of the writers' intention and the monarchs' acceptance.In this sense,we should carefully judge the effect of the study of Confucian classics on Fu in the Western Han Dynasty,especially not exaggerate the effect of it.

There exists a theoretical defect in the academic circle on the constitution and identification of the subject of news value, i.e.it completely ignores the possibility and necessity of social community as the subject of news value, which has been affecting the reform and innovation of journalism.From philosophical and journalistic theory we can see that besides transmission subject and acceptant subject, news value still has a third value subject- society, which is an independent one not belonging to the previous two ones.This paper tries to identify social community as the third subject of the news value, and seeks to reveal its journalism significance.

Sino-Russian relation has been developing smoothly on the whole after the disintegration of the Soviet Union.In recent years,following common efforts by the two governments and peoples,Sino-Russian relation is advancing and deepening continuously,and “Sino-Russian strategic partnership relation” has been established.However,“Chinese Threat” emerges in Russia as well as in western countries.Why the concept of “Chinese Threat” is advocated in Russia is that some Russians are influenced by Russian historical memory,the widening gap between China and Russia in their power,China's misadministration and western media's misleading exaggeration.The concept is imagined in three threats of China's rise,China's immigrant and China's possible collapse.Based on the concept of “harmony” in Chinese traditional culture,this paper analyses Chinese concept of “harmony” from the angle of history and reality,and concludes that China,in history,was a reserved nation pursuing peace and,at present,selects a diplomatic strategy of peaceful rise and co-establishing a harmonious world.The paper refutes "Chinese Threat" in Russia and argues that China's peaceful rise will pose no threat to any country including Russia.

Negative participation is a non-benign political participation,while participation outside system is one that is not in accordance with legal process or regulation,one that can be either benign or non-benign.Chinese farmers' negative political participation at the initial stages of New China can be divided into one within or outside system;the latter again can be divided into a non-benign negative participation and a benign active participation.Today,when democratic participation system is still imperfect in China,we should deeply analyze the negative elements and get rid of them,and pay great attention to the benign participation outside the system,making them part of the systematic participation.

Government decision-making consultation is the inevitable product when public administration is developed to a certain stage.Compared with such developed countries as US,Japan,Britain,and Germany etc.,government decision-making consultation in our country still has a long way to go.Thus it is a fundamental way to develop the government decision-making consultation in China to speed the separation between the decision makers and executors,to perfect the official decision-making consultation agencies,to further display the function of semi-official government decision consolation-making agencies and fully develop non-government decision-making consultation agencies.
