Abstract： The historical image of King Arthur has been well-developed to be perfect by means of theHistoriaRegumBritanniaewritten by the British chronicler Geoffrey of Monmouth in 1138. King Arthur was depicted to embrace the triple identities of “a national hero”, “a king” and “an emperor”, which had generated a far reaching influence on the succeeding House of Plantagenet, resulting in the appropriation of this historical image of King Arthur by the kings for their own political purposes, with Henry Ⅱ, Richard Ⅰ and Edward Ⅰ as the representatives. King Arthur in the works of Geoffrey was not only an edge tool for political propaganda to squash rebellions and conquer the other nations, but also a super-excellent political tool for them to show their noble descent and maintain the unity of their own nations.

Keywords： King Arthur; Historia Regum Britanniae; the House of Plantagenet

AComparativeAnalysisofMarxismBeliefandReligiousBeliefs

LUO Xinyan, SUN Zhou

(School of Marxism, Hohai University, Nanjing 210000， Jiangsu)

There is a distinction between truth and fallacy in cognition, there is also a distinction between being scientific and nonscientific in belief based on certain cognition. It is an extreme not to acknowledge the distinction between being scientific and nonscientific in belief. And simply simmering the judgment standard of whether the beliefs being scientific or nonscientific down to whether they are in favor of the development of the social productive forces is another extreme in the problem of belief. The scientificity of belief lies not only in that it must possess an ideological form, i.e. the value scientificity of theoretical logic in the sense of social science; but also in that it must possess a real form, i.e. the fact scientificity of belief in real life. It is all but scientific to “distinguish” the scientificity of belief, which is the most significant end of the human spiritual phenomenon, with some simple and abstract standard, and is easy to result in simplification and vulgarization in problems of belief.

Abstract： It is a necessary link to explore and refine the socialist core values for deepening the understanding of them, which is also the theoretical premise to carry forward and practice them. The socialist core values have four attributes: the dual attributes of structure and function as cultural object; the ideological attribute as a kind of conceptual culture; and the inherent attribute of practice as the bridge linking the objective “structure and function” and the subjective ideology.

Keywords： socialist core values; structural attribute; functional attribute; ideological attribute; attribute of practice

Abstract： The poetics at dynasty changing in modern times was an inevitable constitute of the evolution of Chinese poetics from classical forms to modern ones, showing the personal volition and national integrity of the poets at the time. Although the historical changes at dynasty changing might cut off for the moment the process of development of the previous dynasty, it could at the same time provide an opportunity for people with breadth of vision to explore a new path and to construct a new poetic concept of literature development, making them survey anew and criticize the route of poetics in the previous dynasty, dig deep the inherent laws of Chinese poetics, and create poems with distinctive characteristics of the times, thus foreshadowing and guiding the way for poetics to develop in the future. To bring the complicated poetic notions at dynasty changing in modern times into the cultural ecology at the time, making prominent the consistent cultural peculiarity from previous dynasties, the long-time bothering academic problems in ancient Chinese poetics or in ancient Chinese cultural domain could be solved step by step. The active state of the poetic notions at dynasty changing in modern times continued the unbroken traditions of Chinese poetics, manifesting a relatively self-sufficient sequence of evolution, highlighting the conscientiousness and self-confidence in the context of Chinese culture which had been continued consistently for millennium.

Abstract： The core ideology of Peng Zhaosun’s parallel prose was advocating elegance and opposing vulgarity, the essence of which was the respect for the style of parallel prose. Advocating elegance means advocating “depth and elegance”, including the “depth and elegance” of language and that of meaning. Opposing vulgarity means opposing “comical vulgarity”, including the avoidance of satiric word games and vacant “courtesy”. The evolution of parallel prose in Qing dynasty was chiefly finished at the turn from the period of Qianlong to that of Jiaqing, in which Peng Zhaosun played an important role in theoretical promotion.

Abstract： Literature has got a rapid development in the postwar New Zealand, amongst which critical realistic novels have gained the most prominent achievement. Critical realistic novelists represented by Frank Sargeson and David Ballantyne strongly criticized the various distortions caused by Puritanism in New Zealand society. They adopted the “man alone” theme from John Mulgan, and broadened and deepened it constantly, having accomplished the crossings from individual to family and then to society, with the characters in their works breaking through the bound of age, gender, class and race. In the model of creation, they abandoned the British model which were familiar to the predecessors and learned more from the works of the American realist writers.During twenty more years after World War II, they had successfully presented a panorama of the postwar New Zealand society.
