39Objectivity in Quantum MeasurementFoundations of Physics 48 (6): 654-667. 2018.The objectivity is a basic requirement for the measurements in the classical world, namely, different observers must reach a consensus on their measurement results, so that they believe that the object exists “objectively” since whoever measures it obtains the same result. We find that this simple requirement of objectivity indeed imposes an important constraint upon quantum measurements, i.e., if two or more observers could reach a consensus on their quantum measurement results, their measureme…Read more

15Between "Heavenly Questions" and EternityContemporary Chinese Thought 26 (4): 78-91. 1995.Qu Yuan was driven to his "Heavenly Questions" by a skepticism about his beliefs and a deep sense of futility in confronting his self-consciousness.

11Accent labeling algorithm based on morphological rules and machine learning in English conversion systemJournal of Intelligent Systems 30 (1): 881-892. 2021.The dependency of a speech recognition system on the accent of a user leads to the variation in its performance, as the people from different backgrounds have different accents. Accent labeling and conversion have been reported as a prospective solution for the challenges faced in language learning and various other voice-based advents. In the English TTS system, the accent labeling of unregistered words is another very important link besides the phonetic conversion. Since the importance of the …Read more

8Why Did Qu Yuan Commit Suicide?Contemporary Chinese Thought 26 (4): 9-16. 1995."Heavenly Questions" would never have seen the light of day if Qu Yuan had not failed in life and if he had not been exiled—an act he considered unjust.

8The Hardships and Misfortunes of LifeContemporary Chinese Thought 26 (4): 54-61. 1995.Zhuangzi's anguish was far more profound than Qu Yuan's. Zhuangzi foresaw the potential evil embedded in the construct of the state and the perfect way of the ancient kings. He also saw through all the hoaxes of history. Thus, he was more than willing to mock the perfect way of the ancient kings and to negate goodness as advanced by the state, the king, and even morality as a foundation for the true value for mankind.

8Heavenly Questions Posed by a HumanContemporary Chinese Thought 26 (4): 70-77. 1995.Up to this point, the reasons behind Qu Yuan's "Heavenly Questions" are clear: to resolve the vital issue of establishing the foundation of his beliefs. Once Qu Yuan—a man who had acted as the medium between, on one hand, the perfect way of the ancient kings and the ideology of the state, and, on the other, the realization of his individual character—was cast adrift, issues concerning the reliability of the perfect way of the ancient kings and the ideology of the state were revealed. That is to …Read more

5The Radicalism of ZhuangziContemporary Chinese Thought 26 (4): 44-53. 1995.In asking why Qu Yuan posed his paradoxical "Heavenly Questions," we are still far from resolving the more fundamental question that we plan to address. Despite the paradoxes embedded in his questions, Qu Yuan still proposed them. The key issue is why Qu Yuan could not refrain from posing the "Heavenly Questions" even though he was caught in a paradox.

5The Dilemma for Contemporary ConfuciansContemporary Chinese Thought 26 (4): 35-43. 1995.The "moral ternion of heaven and humankind" was not fully established in theoretical terms by Confucius, Mencius, and Xunzi.

3Doubts About the Imperial IdealContemporary Chinese Thought 26 (4): 17-24. 1995.Qu Yuan had good reason for believing in the omnipotent power of the individual will, even though, in the end, it crushed him into pieces. He believed that each individual possesses this omnipotent power because the values of history and the heavenly principles were contained internally in each person.
