Abstract

Chinese idioms (成语) are an essential part of cultural heritage that reflect meaning, values, and unique expressions of Chinese society. Thus, in order to understand deeper about the meaning and connotations contained in the Chinese Idioms, the writers researched Chinese Idioms specifically contained the word 罗. This study focuses on idioms containing the Chinese character “罗 (luó)”, which etymologically means “net” or “mesh”. Using a semantic framework and descriptive qualitative method, this research analyzes 49 idioms sourced from standard idiom dictionaries, classical literature, and historical texts. The idioms were examined through their denotative and connotative meanings, emotional valence (positive, negative, neutral), and source origins. The findings reveal that idioms with “罗” convey diverse themes, such as entrapment, wealth, distribution, economic hardship, methodology, cultural elements, and foreign-derived terms. Of the total, 27 idioms had positive connotations, 16 were negative, and 6 neutral. The idioms originate from folklore, literary works, historical records, and foreign influences. This study highlights the semantic richness of Chinese idioms and the cultural depth embedded in the character “罗”.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the representation of intergenerational conflict in The Shadow’s Edge through a sociological approach by employing Karl Mannheim’s theory of generations as the primary theoretical framework. Intergenerational conflict is understood as a consequence of differences in socio historical experiences, value systems, and perspectives between older and younger generations. The study employs a qualitative method with content analysis as the main analytical technique. The primary data consist of the film The Shadow’s Edge, while secondary data are obtained through repeated observation of scenes that represent intergenerational conflict. The findings indicate that intergenerational conflict in the film is reflected through differences in working methods, professional ethics, and interpretations of technology between Wong Tak Chung as the representation of the older generation and He Qiuguo as the representation of the younger generation. The film further emphasizes that absolute reliance on technology has its limitations, while the empirical experience of the older generation remains relevant. Ultimately, The Shadow’s Edge portrays the reconciliation of intergenerational conflict through collaboration and the integration of perspectives, highlighting the importance of cross generational cooperation in addressing contemporary social challenges.

Abstract

This study ivestigates the use of persuasive techniques in Chinese President Xi Jinping’s speeches delivered to promote the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).  This study aims to identify the forms of persuasion employed and to understand how Xi Jinping constructs his image and influences his audience to accept the BRI concept consciously and without resistance. The study is based on the view that a speech is a persuasive discourse requiring careful selection of language, techniques, and communication strategies to ensure that the message is received in line with the audience’s values and moral beliefs. The analysis of the speech data reveals 119 instances of persuasion, classified into six types of techniques: rationalization, identification, suggestion, conformity, compensation, and projection. Rationalization is used to build logical justification for the BRI concept; identification emphasizes shared viewpoints between the speaker and the audience;  suggestion functions to persuade through the emotional use of imperative diction ; conformity creates a sense of equality and togetherness; compensation highlights transformation toward a better condition; while projection is employed to position China as a positive and open actor, subtly shifting negative impressions toward others. The findings indicate that Xi Jinping strategically employs language and persuasive techniques to deliver political and economic messages within a framework of humanistic, harmonious, and low-conflict communication. These techniques strengthen China’s image as an inclusive global leader that promotes shared benefits through the BRI program.
