How to Enhance the Motivation for Drug Detoxification: Consciousness Guidance and Behaviour Restriction of Family Intergenerational Ethics

Assisting substance users to recover from the behaviour of drug addiction and maintain long-term rehabilitation is a long and complicated process, in which the motivation to undergo drug rehabilitation plays a decisive role. So far, the cultural connotation of family and its mechanism of promoting behavioural change of substance users have not been fully explored. Through in-depth interviews with 15 drug rehabilitants, among which there were 7 women and 8 men, it is found that the motivation for drug rehabilitation is stimulated under the guidance and restriction of family ethics based on obligation and responsibility, which is mainly reflected in the longitudinal intergenerational responsibility. On the one hand, negative consequences such as intergenerational liability deficit and reputation damage lead substance users to reflect on ethical values. On the other hand, disciplines such as intergenerational responsibility and obligation and mutual assistance can correct the actual behaviour of substance users in ethical practice. In contrast to Western countries, which focus on external environmental factors such as family function, family relationships and family support, the motivation for drug rehabilitation in China places more emphasis on their identity and role as family members and corresponding responsibilities, which provides inspiration for developing social work services for substance users from family cultural norms.

An Analysis of the Construction of the Multiple Spaces in The Scarlet Letter

Nathaniel Hawthorne, one of the classic writers of American romanticism, wrote many classic works throughout his life, including The Scarlet Letter, the representative of romantic novels and his outstanding masterpiece. Extensive attention has paid on it since it was published. Many literary critics use different theories to explain this work, many of which explore the theme including good and evil, love and hate, and culture under the influence of Puritanism. However, previous researches have paid less attention on the space feature of The Scarlet Letter, and in the traditional narratological research, the space factor has also been ignored for a long time. In this thesis, the author will take space as the starting point based on the relevant spatial theory and spatial narrative research results, and interpret the multiple space construction in The Scarlet Letter in detail, further analyzing the narrative strategy adopted by Hawthorne in order to explore the cultural connotation of the multiple spaces constructed in his works.

“GEOMETRIC FIGURES” CLUSTER IN THE LANGUAGE PICTURE OF THE WORLD (RUSSIAN-CHUVASH PARALLELS)

Работа посвящена анализу русских и чувашских лексических единиц, репрезентующих кластер «геометрические фигуры», с точки зрения его отражения в сознании двух языковых коллективов. В центре нашего лингвокультурологического анализа паремии, традиционные народные символы, используемые в фольклоре. Лексика данной тематической группы помогает выявить своеобразие менталитета носителей языков, помогает выделить особенности мировосприятия чувашского и русского этносов. Кластер «геометрические фигуры» не исследовался ни в отношении русской, ни в отношении чувашской языковых картин мира. Методы исследования: анализ словарных дефиниций, сопоставительный, концептуальный, лингвокультурологический. Лексемы, обозначающие геометрические фигуры, своеобразно трактуются в их вторичной номинации разными народами. В центре нашего внимания элементарные фигуры, такие как круг, квадрат (прямоугольник), треугольник (угол), шар. Геометрическая фигура «круг» в чувашском языке имеет положительную коннотацию, а в русском языке как положительную, так и отрицательную; шар в обоих анализируемых языках воспринимается отрицательно; угол и в чувашском, и в русском языках имеет и положительную, и отрицательную коннотацию; эмоциональные и оценочные оттенки в высказываниях, содержащих лексему «четырехугольник», имеются только в чувашском языке. Ассоциативно-образное восприятие геометрических фигур связано с особенностями менталитета этноса и раскрывается в национально-культурной коннотации данных лексических единиц. The paper is devoted to the analysis of the Russian and Chuvash lexical units that represent the cluster “geometric figures” from the point of view of its reflection in the minds of two language communities. At the center of our linguistic and cultural analysis are paremias, traditional folk symbols. The vocabulary of this thematic group helps to identify the specificity of the mentality of native speakers, allows us to highlight the peculiarities of the worldview of the Chuvash and Russian ethnic groups. The cluster “geometric shapes” was not studied either in relation to the Russian or Chuvash language pictures of the world. The research methods employed are the analysis of dictionary definitions, comparative, conceptual, linguoculturological analysis. The lexemes denoting geometric figures are uniquely interpreted in their secondary nomination by different peoples. In the study we focus at such elementary figures as circle, square (rectangle), triangle (angle/corner), and sphere. The geometric figure of a circle in the Chuvash language has a positive connotation, and in Russian both positive and negative connotations; the sphere is perceived negatively in both analyzed languages; the angle/corner in both Chuvash and Russian languages has both positive and negative connotations; emotional and evaluative shades in statements containing the lexeme of rectangular are available only in the Chuvash language. The associative-figurative perception of geometric figures is associated with the peculiarities of the mentality of an ethnic group and is revealed in the national-cultural connotation of these lexical units.

THE COLOR TERMS FOR BLACK AND WHITE IN BULGARIAN, POLISH AND LITHUANIAN PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS

The present paper is contrastive analysis of Bulgarian, Polish and Lithuanian phraseological units containing a color term naming black or white. It traces the way these components reflect the figurative meaning of the unit - through their color semantics or through their function as a cultural signs. The study classiffiеs Bulgarian, Polish and Lithuanian expressions as to their belongings to several groups, which refer to different concepts. In each group the comparison of the examples found in the three phraseological subsystems is based on their semantics, their lexical components and structure. Under observations are substantive, adjectival, adverbial and verbal phraseological units where the colors are used only as an adjective component. The analysis takes into consideration that black has negative symbolism and cultural connotations. Thus the phraseological units with black are linked mainly to the concepts such as death, sorrow, bad life, misfortune. The text suggests that color term for black is rarely used to express neutral or positive meanings. The white has a positive cultural connotation associated to whiteness, light, good life, goodness, but its meaning can vary to neutral or negative in phraseological system of the three languages. The present paper observes similarities of collected phraseological expressions and emphasizes their nation-specific features.

Visualizing the cultural landscape gene of traditional settlements in China: a semiotic perspective

China has a deep traditional culture and a long history, and is rich in traditional settlements (designated as “Famous Historic-Cultural Villages/Towns”, “Chinese Traditional Villages” by Chinese Government). To help people develop these traditional settlements to achieve the great goal of Chinese National Rejuvenation, Chinese scholar put forward the Cultural Landscape Genes of Traditional Settlements (CLGTS) in 2003. Since then, CLGTS theory has been employed to solve the issues of Chinese traditional settlements, such as the identification and regionalization of cultural landscape genes in traditional settlements, and the understanding of architectural features. Although CLGTS theory has made great strides in many application fields, there is still a lack of scientific findings in exploring the symbol mechanism from a perspective of semiotics. To explore this, we firstly examined the core features of CLGTS through a dialectical perspective. We analyzed two features of CLGTS in depth. First, CLGTS is the dialectical combination of macro settlement image and micro cultural factors of traditional settlements, material appearance and inherent traditional cultural implications, overall features and local self-renewal mechanisms, qualitative and quantitative methods, superiority of cultural factors and rich cultural connotation. Second, CLGTS is famous for its nonlinearity, self-organization, and self-iteration due to various spatial shapes and complex structures. Based on the above, we first proposed the concept of Symbolization Method of CLGTS (SM-CLGTS). Then, we further explored the key features, classification methods, and corresponding representation methods of CLGTS symbols. Finally, by using Visual C#.net program language, we developed a prototype system of the Traditional Landscape Genetic Symbol Database (TLGSD) to create and centrally manage CLGTS symbols. Test results show that TLGSD can meet the needs of constructing a CLGTS symbol database for a given region. This study is of great significance to explore and contribute to visualizing the CLGTS symbols.

AN ACCURATE DIGITAL RESTORATION METHOD BASED ON ARCHITECTURAL SITE INFORMATION – A CASE STUDY OF THE JIUJING SANSHI HALL IN CHANGCHUN GARDEN

Using records, documents, and research on Jiujing Sanshi Hall in Changchun Garden as an example, this paper showcases a method to digitally restore lost constructions to the maximum level of precision in their size, scale, architectural design, and structure using digital technology. The digital restoration can also be dynamically adjusted based on latest data. Information used to form such restorations include historical records, measurement data, and unknown data, which were then analyzed and recombined. This method fulfills the technical gap in high-precision digital restoration in China. The paper proposes an evaluation standard that involves "triple-evidence verification chain" and restoration accuracy, which can be used for most unmovable cultural relics, especially large ruins with few, scattered remains. The standard can provide a qualitative basis for the whole field of restoration research. The resulting restoration method is useful in cooperation and research between multiple cross-discipline organizations, as well as improving work efficiency and information sharing. Moreover, this restoration plan has integrated various virtual assembly methods and improved the integrity and authenticity of the site remains. It made breakthroughs in display methods of lost constructions and ruins such as enhanced showcasing of vanished ruins and changes over time. The plan also was able to enrich cultural connotation and existing contents of the ruins. The resulting restoration can be updated, and the information can be shared and used in open research.

Linguistic and cultural connotations of the lexeme BIRCH in Russian and the lexeme BAMBOO in Chinese

The paper studies the historical and cultural associative meanings of the lexeme BIRCH in the Russian culture and the lexeme BAMBOO in Chinese by analyzing the results of the perception process of these objects, their concepts and images by native speakers of the Russian and Chinese languages. The relevance of the research is due to the growing attention of modern linguistics to comparative cultural studies, including the number of comparative works on the Russian and Chinese languages, the importance of describing linguistic and cultural differences for the development of international economic and cultural relations between China and Russia. The research material involves phraseological units, proverbs, myths, poems and literary works, as well as historical materials, customs and traditions of the two nations. This paper uses research methods such as descriptive, contextual, comparative, the method of component analysis and cognitive modeling. As a result, it was determined that birch occupies a significant place in the Russian culture with the meanings of “motherland”, “mother”, “woman”, “bride”, “girl”. Bamboo in Chinese has only positive connotations, including “unshakable quality”, “spiritual purity”, “humble character”, “high aspirations.” It is concluded that birch as a symbol of Russia is a lacunar concept in the Chinese culture, while bamboo as the personification of a “perfect gentleman” in Chinese has no cultural connotation in Russian. Despite mismatched meanings in two languages, birch and bamboo must be recognized as equivalents in terms of cultural significance and the high frequency of symbolic use in poetry and other precedent texts.
