A Little Commemoration of English Class

A Little Commemoration of English Class
Today (yesterday) I finished my last English class — though I skipped billiards and lunch — and this was the last class of the graduate English course this semester, and perhaps also the last English class of my entire student life. I have no choice but to write a piece in commemoration. This semester’s English class took up a great deal of my energy. Every week there were one or two writing assignments and one or two oral presentation scripts to prepare, as well as getting up early two or three times a week, occupying most of my study time. Although the total amount of work could hardly be said…

Add Annotations to Any Paragraph: Enable the Feedback by Paragraph Plugin
First I happened to see a post in the Chinese WordPress forum mentioning a feature of Yeeyan (this site seems pretty good): marginal annotations. You can add notes to every paragraph in an article, and registered members can very conveniently discuss specific paragraphs. For a translation community like this, such a feature is simply a brilliant design. I was instantly drawn to this feature. I was trying to build an academic blog for the Web 2.0 era, and the most basic effect this kind of academic model hopes to achieve is: “infinite margins” — the blank space at the side of the page, or rather the space for communication, will…

Writing in the Internet Age—A Brief Discussion of the Intentional Structure of Electronic Media

Writing in the Internet Age—A Brief Discussion of the Intentional Structure of Electronic Media
The new blog had been tinkered with for so long that it has finally come to a temporary rest, and I should also write something more serious to explain myself. But this so-called serious writing is not yet that paper I have kept putting off; I’ll deal with that paper properly after the New Year. For now, following the context of tidying up the blog, let me talk about some thoughts on the “network age.” The last class of Wu’s seminar last semester happened to touch on communication in the network age, and I happened to pick up this thread and speak from there. The issue of communication in the…

How to Reason with Emotion

History of Science & Scholarship2009.07.07
How to Reason with Emotion
Feeling and reasoning seem to be two utterly opposed things; many people would think that a good argument ought not to be mixed too much with private feelings, and that the intrusion of subjective feeling will make a paper bad. Of course, broadly speaking, that is not wrong. Good papers at least seem cold; apart from the opening and the closing, they rarely contain any lyrical sentences. Still, leaving aside scientific and technical papers, as far as philosophy is concerned, I believe the best philosophical papers must be saturated with the author’s personal feelings. The key lies in how to infuse feeling, and absolutely not in how to drive feeling…

On How to Write a Book Report

On How to Write a Book Report
Today someone asked me over QQ about the “format” of a reading report, and someone else on the department forum raised the same question too. I happened to say a few words about my personal view, so I’m reposting it here: —————————————————— When you quote something, cite the source. Don’t think too much about the rest. This is not writing in an ossified eight-part style; the form of the essay is flexible. Sort out your thinking in whatever way seems clearest and most straightforward to you, and it is best to have a clear thread. A reading report does not necessarily have to summarize every single point in the original…

Introduction to the Dialogues of Xindao

Introduction to the Dialogues of Xindao
I haven’t updated the blog much these past several times. On the one hand, it’s because lately I’ve been busy with all sorts of miscellaneous things and haven’t had any mental free time; on the other hand, because some time ago I suddenly had the urge to write in a “dialogue” form, but got stuck halfway through. Only today did I finally rekindle the urge to write, and I’ve now finished the previously stuck draft of the No. 〇 piece, but I still have no motivation to write the first piece (though I already have the title). According to my plan, all of these “dialogues” will be written by me…

How Do I Read?

How Do I Read?
About reading and writing, I said earlier that these two activities alternate in a cycle and become my mode of thinking: thought begins in reading and comes to a pause in writing. But that is too general a way of putting it, so the essay “The writer, one who pours forth” described my style of writing, and the more recent “How I choke out a paper” added a discussion of the specific mode of writing called paper-writing. Now, if I add a note on my method of reading, the picture is even more complete. Still the old saying: my style is not worth boasting about, much less imitating. In particular,…

Preliminary Completion of Keyword Addition Work
I only added them roughly from memory, and the categorization is pretty chaotic as well (I’ve never been good at writing keywords), so this is about as far as I can go…… Some of the keyword arrangements may seem unreasonable, but there was a rationale behind them on my part; other keywords may also seem unreasonable, but in fact I simply typed them wrong myself…… It seems that, overall, they’re not of much use anyway…… In short…… readers, make of it what you will…… Anyway, there aren’t really any readers…… January 3, 2009 Latest Comments mist 2009-01-04 11:32:55 Anonymous 124.205.78.223 You said it。。。 anyway, there aren’t any readers。。。 Add this…

I Recently Started Writing a Log on the Campus Network
It’s been more than two weeks already, but I should still announce it here～ http://xiaonei.com/profile.do?id=7755 Why did I think of writing logs on Xiaonei? First of all, unlike here on Suixuan, the logs on Xiaonei are not the product of my overflow. Although I only write two sentences a day, or even two words, this result is “squeezed” out rather than “flowing” out. When I am writing frequently, the text here on Suixuan may amount to one or two thousand characters a day, but that is a very effortless thing; whereas those two sentences a day there are terribly hard to produce, and I also don’t know how long I…
