With these literature views, his works also had shown his pursuit for the specialty and artistry of literature, as well as a transition from technique-oriented writing to a balance of emotion expression and technique usage. Anyway, during his translation of French literature and creative practice, the rich literature nutrition he received led to his unclear and complex thoughts which he neutralized with carefulness, and hence his unique literature views.展开更多

The bells have a two-tone acoustic characteristic,i.e.,striking different parts of the bell generates different tones. In this study,we use a finite element method to simulate the propagation of elastic waves and the generation of free oscillations of the bell. Vibrations with different spectral characteristics can be obtained by striking different parts of the chime bell of Marquis Yi of Zeng. By the observation of the vibration de-sign and through spectral analysis,we further help the understanding of the two-tone acoustic char-acteristic of the chime bell of Marquis Yi of Zeng.展开更多
