Wang Yuanhua's Embrace and Distancing of Confucianism
HU Xiaoming
WANG Yuanhua was one of the most important thinkers in Modern China. Based on his association with the famous modern Chinese philosopher, Xiong Shili, as well as the sources and social influence of his thoughts, this article tries to sort out following topics: 1 How did his thoughts shift from anti-Confucianism to pro-Confucianism; 2 his independent attitude towards Confucianism which was sometimes embracing, sometimes rejecting; 3 his final agreement with Confucianism and the internal connection between his ideas and Confucianism. Wang's case was an example showing the complex situation Confucianism had to deal with in
modern China. Wang Yuanhua's ideas were sometimes in step with Confucianism, sometimes not. This complexity provides us a good chance to observe how Confucianism adapted to the modern or post-modern contexts.

Text, Classic and Interpretation:Comparison of Chinese and Western Classical Interpretation
HONG Handing
On the basis of the hermeneutical understanding of the three basic concepts, "text", "classic" and "interpretation" , this paper contends that a text is not a so-called linguistically completed work which conveys the author's meaning ,but an unfinished product or intermediate product which must be continuously interpreted and elucidated. The paper also argues that a classic is not a piece of excellent work with fixed meaning which belongs to the past,but a historical and normative structure which needs continuous interpretation. The paper also argues that interpretation is not a so-called general scientific objective or neutral explanation, but a kind of participation that is about our experience and practice in dealing with the texts. We also discuss the historical development of Chinese and Western classical interpretations and their differences. While the Western interpretation of classics in modern times focuses on how classical meaning generates its contemporary significance, the Chinese interpretation of classics still focuses on original canons immobilized by the teaching of classics based on textualism. Therefore, while the western classical interpretations emphasize the objective interpretation given rise by the theory of knowledge, the Chinese classical interpretation values the kind of understanding that draws practical meaning and inspiration from the classics. A comparative study of the Chinese -western classical interpretations is not "interpreting Chinese philosophy in light of its western counterpart" , nor is it "interpreting western philosophy in light of its Chinese counterpart" , but a study based on mutual interpretations. Similarly, upholding the ancient- modern intermediary does not "lay more stress on the past than on the present, nor does it lay more stress on the present than on the past" ; it is rather a matter of constant communication and integration of the ancient and modern lives. We obtain new life by talking constantly with classical works. The life of classical works also renews itself in this conversation.

Contemporary Hermeneutics and Comparative Philosophy between China and the West
CHEN Zhi-guo
From the perspective of contemporary hermeneutics, comparative philosophy between China and the West not only is an important way to study the Chinese philosophy, but also belongs to the inner part of Chinese philosophy itself. In terms of its basic motivation, dialogical comparison and communication with the
heterogeneous Western philosophy help us to discover and clarify our own deep -rooted structure of fore-understanding that is "foremost but always" implicit. As to the main approach, the way of "taking initiative from China in the mutual interpretation between Chinese and Western philosophy" , can be thought as an alternative to the common comparison models, namely, "interpreting Chinese philosophy by the western" or “conquering the west by Chinese philosophy” . With respect to its expected effect, comparative study of Chinese and western philosophy is neither a competition, nor a mere restoration or portrait of the thought of the philosophers in Chinese history; its proper aim is but to push forward the innovative transformation and development of Chinese philosophy itself.

The Tension Between the possibilities and impossibilities in Hermeneutical Innovation
GAO Xuanyang
To understand hermeneutical innovation and its possibilities, we should go beyond the framework of interpretation itself, i.e. transcending the parochial systems of language and writing texts, and situate it in the complex contexts of human life and the surrounding world. This is to be done by means of interdisciplinary analysis of the inner- and outer- living world, and in particular, the various microstructures and dynamics of life, and all different kinds of interactive forces involved in the realization of the interpretation should be accounted for. It is mandatory for hermeneutical innovation to give due consideration to all factors of life processes in their hyper complexity, so as to realize itself in the very tension between its possibilities and impossibilities.

The Perfect State Achieved through MOU Zong-san's "Intellectual Intuition"
TAO Yue
MOU Zong-san borrows the concept of "intellectual intuition" from Kant as the core concept of his own philosophy and makes some alterations to it. For Kant, "intellectual intuition" is a passive concept because he rejects that human being is able to have intellectual intuition. However, it is active in MOU's philosophy because his whole system of ethical metaphysics is based on that human being is able to own intellectual intuition. Kant discusses intellectual intuition in terms of traditional epistemology, while MOU Zongsan discusses it in terms of the traditional Chinese theory of "jing-jie" . To MOU, the presentation of intellectual intuition does not mean one can cognize a transcendent substance through his cognitive ability; instead, it means one can achieve a transcendent jing-jie through practice. This jing-jie is not merely a moral concept, but a perfect state in terms of morality, aesthetics and religion.

A Comparative Research on How Yinshun and Mou Zongsan interpreted Paramãrtha‘s Buddhist Studies Respectively
JIANG Mingze
Mou Zongsan once suggested that Paramãrtha‘s "amala-vijnana (as a mind with purified selfnature)" should be understood as the mind was originally clean. He then traced this concept back to Maitreya Bodhisattva's teachings and regarded it as a kind of "innate enlightenment" . Finally he concluded that Paramãrtha‘s studies were "following Maitreya and heading to true mind school" . To respond to Mou Zongsan, Yinshun argued the core of Paramãrtha‘s thoughts was the idea that "alaya can lead to either purified phenomena or contaminative phenomena" and defined Paramãrtha‘ thoughts as the combination of Tathãgatagarbha (Buddha nature) and yogacara. After that he explicitly rejected to define amala-vijnana (as a mind with purified self-nature) as a kind of innate enlightenment, which was merely an interpretation using concepts from The Awakening of Mahayana Faith, and insisted that the fundamental position of Paramãrtha‘s thoughts should be yogacara. The two academic masters' studies on Paramãrtha exemplify "creative hermeneutics", which means both of them raised the potential yet necessary implications of Paramãrtha‘s words and showed new possibilities of studies on Paramãrtha. A comparison between Yinshun's and Mou Zongsan's interpretations of Paramãrtha‘s thoughts can help us widen the research field of Paramãrtha study and find new approaches to the interpretation of Paramãrtha. Moreover, through the comparison we could better understand the two important scholars' different positions as well as the result and meaning of their creative hermeneutic methodology.

A Commentary on the Theory of Institutional Appropriateness: Its Significance and Revelation
LIU Xiaojing
James G. March and Johan P. Olsen have been emphasizing the function and value of institution in political studies. They point out that different interpretations of the basic concept of popular sovereignty can give rise to two different types of institution, namely, the aggregation type and the integration type. In their comparative study of the two types of institution, they also develop a theory concerning the appropriateness of institution. This article evaluates March and Olsen爷s theory and attempt to show its relevance to the ongoing democratic reformation in China.

Perquisites and Corporate Performance:Agent View or Efficiency View, Research Based on the Perspective of Executive Incentive
SU Ran, GAO Minghua
There are two views on how perquisites influence the corporate performance, namely, the agent view and the efficiency view. Studies on the relationship among executive salary, perquisites, and corporate performance show that different levels of executive salary lead to different relationships between perquisites and corporate performance. In general, the efficiency view is more effective when executive monetary incentive is inadequate, that is, perquisites lead to higher corporate performance; and the agent view is more effective when executive monetary incentive is excessive, that is, perquisites bring negative impacts on the corporate performance. This article suggests that a balanced executive incentive policy should be considered if the optimal corporate performance is to be achieved.

The Integration of Urban and Rural Security: Institutional Dilemma and System Reconstruction
WANG Xiaoling
The integration of urban and rural medical security has been an important issue in the study of urban and rural development. Recent research and practice focus on merging different medical insurance system and unifying management organizations. Under the governmental guidance, achieving a form of "integration" may not be difficult, but new inequality will occur if the different economic and security levels between the urban and rural areas are not properly considered, which will result in an integration lack of inherent power. Institutional transition promoted by the inherent power tends to be more successful. In order to realize the actual integration of urban and rural medical insurance system., we should gradually implement the localization of insurance and service; clearly define the functions of different insurance fund accounts; raise actual compensation ratio; ensure the growth of rural health insurance premium, and implement the policy of compulsory insurance.

The Forgotten Pioneer-Chen Shouyi and His study on History of Sino-Western Cultural Contact in the 18th Century
LIANG Jiandong
Chen S.Y. was one of the earliest contemporary Chinese scholars specializing in the history of Sino-Western cultural contact in the 18th Century, but few people knew about his contribution in academic circles until recently. In the early 1930s, he has written a few important papers concerning various topics, including the spread of some traditional Chinese literary works, such as The Orphan of Zhao and Hau Kiou Choaan in the West; the great explorer, Robinson's view on Chinese culture; and how the art of traditional Chinese garden influenced the Western aesthetics. His research findings have had a profound impact on the development of modern comparative literature in China. This article explores Chen S.Y.爷s academic experience and significant academic achievements, hoping to establish his pioneering status in the field of earlier Sino-Western cultural contact.

From Polyphony to Counterpoint: Said‘s Abrogation and Inheritance of Bakhtin’s Theory
CAI Tianxing
Polyphonic theory had been one of the most popular Western literary theories through out the whole twentieth century. It is originally introduced by Bakhtin, and completed by Edward Said. Bakhtin's polyphonic theory is a thinking based on dialogue, which is between the author and the protagonists and focusing on the author and the work itself. For Edward Said, polyphony is based on contact. It is a dialogue between the East and the West, focusing on readers and the world. Both are based epistemologically on subjectivity of the object, and methodologically trying to extend outside of the texts, focusing on connections, paying attention to social-analysis, historical backgrounds and simultaneous coexistence. But the two differ on the concept of the Orient, the extent of systematization, and the way to approve and disapprove. From the following three aspects, Edward Said develops Bakhtin's polyphonic theory: to look at the Orient instead of sticking to Euro-centrism; to break integral systems and pay attention to individual parts; as well as to destroy authorities and lean to nihilism.

A Review of the Studies on the Sino-Japanese War in the Last 30 Years
ZHANG Xiao-gang,ZOU Sheng-ying
The Sino-Japanese War is a turning point in the modernization process of China and other Northeast Asian countries. Therefore, the study of the Sino-Japanese war has been a focus of academic attention. In recent 30 years, scholars in this field have been widening their visions and the studies become more and more
intensive. Especially in recent 10 years, a large number of valuable researches have emerged. In brief, nowadays the research of the Sino-Japanese war is no longer limited into the modern history of China or of Sino-Japanese relations. It has been extended to the field of regional history and even world history. At the time of the 120th anniversary of the Sino-Japanese War, we try to sort out and summarize the important research findings of the last 30 years, in order to reflect the progress of Chinese scholars' studies of the Sino-Japanese War, and also provide some useful references for the future research.

Sino-Japanese War and the Selection of Russian Far East Policy - Reflections on Sino-Japanese War
Zhang Li
In the mid-1880s, the Russia returned to the international stage of the Far East, cautiously penetrating to Korea. Treating China as a potential rival, Russia gradually undermined the Qing government's suzerain rule in Korea. During 1894-1895, Japan invaded both Korea and China. During the Sino-Japanese War,
Russian Far East foreign policy changed several times. At the very start, Russia attempted to mediate the Sino- Japanese conflict on his own, then adopted a "wait and see" policy, then sought mediation together with the United Kingdom, then the final selection of allying with the Qing. An investigation on the change of the Sino-Russian foreign policy and the reason will help us to understand the far-reaching impact of the Sino-Japanese War on Northeast Asia as well as the background of the secret alliance between China and Russia.
