Although watercolor is a western painting medium, Singapore watercolor art adopted its concepts from both the traditional British watercolor and Chinese ink painting. While it inherited its painting techniques from the British watercolor, the concept of calligraphic brushwork was adopted in two diverse directions, one from the British watercolor and the other from the Chinese calligraphy and ink painting due to the diverse backgrounds of artists. The application of various forms of calligraphic brushwork and their developments have shown connections to their origins. However, deviations were observed as compared to contemporary western watercolor brushwork. The study has also uncovered how the abstraction of Chinese character design concept and ink painting compositions were adopted by contemporary regional artists. The outcomes have created potential applications in animation and digital painting, especially in the area of visual simplification.","PeriodicalId":166253,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133974174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author’s ‘Midrash’ of Cynthia Ozick shows great international perspective and nuanced understanding and empathy. There are three impressive features of the book Firstly, it is rich in materials with a large number of first-hand foreign research materials, and its content is decorous. The monograph is a comprehensive, systematic, and cutting-edge research in this field, which starts a new situation in the study of Ozick; Secondly, it focuses on Jewishness and its artistic expression in Ozick’s fiction by combining historical, cultural, and theoretical research with textual analysis, revealing the rich connotation and internal unity of the works, and demonstrating the researchers’ profound and thorough understanding of the research object. Thirdly, it features dialectical thinking. It dialectically analyzes writers and works from multiple perspectives such as feminist criticism new historicism criticism, postmodern narrative research, and cultural research, and makes horizontal and vertical comparisons in the historical context.

How MTI professional degree education can better serve the national development strategy and the demand for high-level and application-oriented talents from industries has become a common challenge faced by each and every MTI degree program in universities. As a result of analyzing the intersubjectivity in MTI professional degree education and its derivatives such as interlinguality, interculturality, intermediality, intertextuality and interdisciplinarity, the intersubjectivity-oriented paradigm of the MTI talent cultivation construction is proposed, and the concept of collaborative education and interactive symbiosis of MTI based on intersubjectivity as well as the cultivating path of interdisciplinarity-oriented professionalization is elaborated. The study also puts forward the teaching strategies of multilingualism, interculturalism, multimodality, professionalization and educational ecology based on inter-subjectivity and other derivatives of inter-subjectivity. The study of the inter-subjective paradigm of MTI talent cultivation aims to deepen the innovation and quality improvement of the professional degree cultivation model with Chinese characteristics by focusing on the cultivation of practical ability and the integration of industry, education, government and research as a means.","PeriodicalId":166253,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129698906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Prize has a history of 120 years and has so far been awarded to 118 writers, seven of whom are African writers. The proportion is not high indeed, but it is undoubtedly higher than that in Asia, South America, Australia and some other regions. A careful study of the works of African writers will enable us to perceive the open and broad cultural vision and the inclusive and tolerant humanistic spirit, and to capture the unique aesthetic representation, cultural implication and regional elements in their works. And in comparison with the literature of other regions diaspora syndrome is particularly prominent. Local diaspora, foreign diaspora, and colonial diaspora, so to speak, constitute both the main features of African literature and the three types of Nobel Prize writers. Gurnah’s reception of the award once again proves that the richness, inclusiveness and foresight of African literature play a positive role in promoting the diversity of world literature and the real emergence of new forms of human civilization.","PeriodicalId":166253,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116076473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article, based on the self-built parallel corpus of Lisao and the corpora of English British Romantic Poems, explores the stylistic features of Lisao's English translations of the Yangs and Xu Yuanchong through analysis of the collected data. The findings have shown that the Yang’s version is more variable in the use of words, more complex in sentence structures and more difficult in readability than Xu’s. The former has the tendency of explicitation while the latter simplification; In addition, the Yang’s version is faithful and close to the original structure, and Xu’s is simple and smooth in diction and sentence structure. The stylistic differences of the two translations by the Yangs and Xu can be attributed to the translators’ different views on translation their purposes and the strategies they chose.","PeriodicalId":166253,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126603719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The domestic researches focus on the influence of newspapers, songs, commemorative activities, international friends, mainstream foreign newspapers and the US military observation group on the image building of the CPC. Foreign research has gone through three stages of development due to different historical background, and the research orientation has gradually moved from macro to micro perspective. In the future, in terms of the research trend, the integration of multi-disciplines is promising. In terms of research methods, we can try to use big data and statistics methods to carry out empirical research on the image of the CPC during the Anti-Japanese War.

Surely enough, he was the first novelist who won the Nobel Prize in Literature among Jewish American writers in 1976, hence he became worldly famous as his mentor expected.
