As a radiant and influential representative of the post-1980s generation in contemporary Chinese literature, Zhang Yueran is considered to be one of most talented and strong young writers. Post-1980s Chinese writers are known by depiction of young people’s lives in big cities with elements of magical realism, however, unlike the most Post-1980s Chinese writers, Zhang Yueran focuses more on the characters’ subjectivity and their pursuit of love (parental and romantic). Her complex characters thrive for love and happiness, but also suffer from loneliness and lack of parental attention. Zhang Yueran’s writing is visceral and almost poetic in its use of metaphor. The development of Zhang Yueran’s prose can be divided two key periods. Her early works are aesthetic psychological thrillers about unhealthy love, inspired by classical fairytales that end with a character’s death and self-destruction: while the language is beautiful and almost poetic, but there is a lack of narrative depth. In her second era, Zhang Yueran returns to realism and successfully combines style and deep narrative by contrasting scenes of cruelty and mercy. At the moment her latest novel “Cocoon” embodies all significant fictional features from the perspective of both style and narrative.","PeriodicalId":508489,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik NSU.

Harbin, founded in 1898 by Russian railway engineers in connection with the construction of the Chinese Eastern Railway, brings together different ethnic and religious cultures. This study provides a brief historical overview of the activities of the temple, which played a major role in the development of Buddhism in the context of multicultural ideological and political trends in the first decades of the 20th century. The most important temple practices and celebrations are analyzed alongside the review of cultural heritage sources. Special attention is paid to the analysis of traditional rituals that take place as part of the celebration of Buddha's birthday in the fourth month of the lunar calendar. Based on the analysis of written sources and the use of ethnographic materials, including conversations with monks and laymen of the Jile Temple, the main stages and features of the ritual of washing the Buddha statue are highlighted, where manipulation of incense plays an important role. Closely linked to the history and evolution of Buddhism, religious events and rituals continue to have a profound influence on the traditions and culture of modern society.","PeriodicalId":508489,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik NSU.

These objects represent a common, but at the same time, quite specific category of archaeological sources containing important information about the material and spiritual life of the population that left them. From the considerable number of Yunnan køkkenmøddings, the ancient fortified settlement of Guchengcun attracted the most attention, during the excavations of which it was possible for the first time to reveal the direct sequence of the Pre-Dian and Early Dian stages, dating back to the period of 3500– 2500 years BC, which are characterized by a unique set of ceramic and bronze implements. These finds give us the opportunity to express preliminary considerations regarding the origin of the Dian culture and state. Some part of the ceramics is similar to the vessels of the local Neolithic culture of Baiyangcun, which had contacts with the Neolithic painted pottery of the Yellow River valley; another part of it, as well as jade half-rings and sea shells, indicating a connection with the coastal cultures of Eastern China. Bronze knives and daggers are probably related in origin to the population of Northern China and adjacent territories. The interaction of these factors formed the basis of the Dian culture, while the contacts with the northern peoples outlined a line of interaction, following which the “horseback culture” later penetrated into Yunnan, shaping the formation of the Dian state.","PeriodicalId":508489,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik NSU.

From the text of the epitaph placed in the burial chamber it is known that aristocrat Qu Qing and his wife Lady Han were buried there. Qu Qing was the grandson of Qu Jia, the founder of one of the ruling dynasties of the Gaochang Kingdom. His wife came from a noble family, possibly with Wuhuan roots. The set of stone items, including door leaves, an engraved panel above them, an engraved screen, and a burial bed decorated with engravings, reliefs and paintings, serves as a valuable source of information about the heterogeneous culture of Early Medieval China. The images on the door and the panel above it are similar in content and style to the murals of the Northern Qi tombs. The plots of the compositions on both sides of the stone screen came from early collections of xiaoshuo prose, that can be classified as zhiguai xiaoshuo (“tales of the miraculous”). The stone bed is similar in design and partly in decorative motifs to the objects from the “Sogdian” burials of the Northern dynasties and Sui. The tomb demonstrates an example of adaptation and transformation of borrowed elements of funeral rites under the influence of Han culture. The combination of Confucian, Taoist, Buddhist and Zoroastrian images and motifs reflects the situation of religious syncretism typical of the early Middle Ages.","PeriodicalId":508489,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik NSU.

Hence, the purpose of this article is to trace the history of literary criticism of the “The Idiot” in China over the past almost ninety years since its first publication in Chinese in 1935. It is noted that during this period the novel was translated into Chinese at least seventeen times with millions of copies released, withstanding more than 50 editions. It also provides an overview of the studies of Chinese scientists in recent years devoted to the study of the novel, and attempts are made to identify trends in the study and commentary of the novel in China. Chinese readers were first introduced to Dostoevsky’s work by the famous novelist, literary critic and translator Zhou Zuozhen. The conducted research allows us to conclude that Chinese readers accept and interpret F. M. Dostoevsky’s novel “The Idiot” with great interest. The questions that the researchers raise in their writings confirm the hypothesis that the Chinese reader associates the main character Prince Myshkin with the Confucian category of Ren.","PeriodicalId":508489,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik NSU.

It is similar to a group of medieval Chinese tales associated with the cults of patron deities of the crafts. These have their origins in tales from Western regions related to Eastern European stories of walled-up wives. In the case of the Beijing tradition, the religious tale is transformed into a secular legend with, at best, a tenuous connection to a local cult. The story of the casting of a bell for the Bell Tower persists in Beijing's oral tradition to this day. There are also a number of related stories told in other regions of China, as well as Korean tales that are genetically linked to it. The article examines both the structural and semantic features of several mythological stories about the making of a bell for the Bell Tower recorded by Chinese folklorists from the 1950s to the 1980s, alongside those of the first known English (1870s) and the first known Chinese (1930s) amateur recordings of the legend. It also traces the connection of these texts with similar narratives from other regions, as well as with the aforementioned medieval legends of patron deities of crafts, ancient beliefs in the efficacy of human sacrifice for metallurgical production characteristic of the Wu region, and Confucian notions of filial piety.","PeriodicalId":508489,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik NSU.

The aim of the study is to isolate the image of a mouse in the traditional worldview of the buryats.Results. In the first part of the study, the mouse is characterized on the basis of data from ethnography, vocabulary, small genres of folklore and anthroponymy of the buryats, with the involvement of information from zoology, botany and medicine. It has been established that in buryat folklore, a mouse meant a house mouse and a field mouse. The field mouse had a utilitarian meaning: its storerooms served as a source of food for the buryats, hence its image in the riddle as a rich man, owner of cattle and horses. It was found out that the buryats associated with the mouse some character traits and physical characteristics of a person (roguishness, thievery, sweating, etc.). The mouse was synonymous with everything insignificant. It was determined that the mouse image was included in the buryats' ideas about time, associated with some diseases. In the second part of the work, the image of a mouse in the mythological views of the buryats is reconstructed. It was revealed that the field mouse was a symbol of material prosperity. It was believed that she predicted winter. The idea of a magic stone bringing happiness was associated with her. The house mouse, unlike the field mouse, was associated with demonological characters, was a harbinger of trouble and death. At the same time, the white house mouse carried the symbolism of happiness and healing.Conclusion. The study shows that in the traditional worldview of the buryats, the image of a mouse is characterized by ambiguity and ambivalence of connotation.","PeriodicalId":508489,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik NSU.

For ethnographers and historians, this topic is relevant not only from the perspective of the historical geography of the 11th – 17th centuries, but also as a key to understanding many plots of Russian history related to the colonization and development of the resources of the Urals and Siberia. Is it possible today to add something to this old discussion? The author believes that visual sources (maps) can open new perspectives and place new accents, since cartography has particular reliability and credibility as a direct projection of reality. On early maps and in accompanying descriptions, Yugra is located mainly in the Urals, although, apparently, the Yugrichs also lived east of the Urals. Moscow, while moved northward and eastward in the 14th century, especially after the baptism of Permians by Stefan, provided the Yugra spreading beyond the Urals. While in the 11th – 16th centuries Yugra was in the orbit of influence (or part of the domain) of Novgorod the Great, then from the end of the 15th century, it became the possession of the Moscow Grand Prince, who in 1488 supplemented his title with the name «Yugorsky». Since that time, Yugra has been increasingly mentioned beyond the Urals, and after the defeat of Novgorod from Moscow, the very name «Yugra» becomes a thing of the past and is replaced by new, Moscow names –«Vogul» and «Ostyak».","PeriodicalId":508489,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik NSU.
