顾凡the specialization of the sexes with reference to their children's needs disap- pears. We see some beginnings of this even in our own time, and in this future age it was com- plete. This, I must remind you was my specula- tion at the time. Later, I was to appreciate how far it fell short of the reality. 'While I was musing upon these things,my at- tention was attracted by a pretty little structure, like a well under a cupola. I thought in a transitory way of the oddness of wells still existing, and then resumed the thread of my speculations. There were no largebuildings towards the top of the hill, and as my walking powers were evidently miraculous.I was presently left alone for the first time. With a strange sense of freedom and ad- venture I pushed on up to the crest. "There I found a seat of some yellow metal that I did not recoanize, corroded in places with a kind of pinkish rust and half smothered in soft moss. the arm-rests cast and filed into the resem- blance of griffins" heads. I sat down on it, and I surveyed the broad view of our old world under the sunset of that lona day. It was as sweet and fair a view as I have ever seen.The sun had al- ready gone below the horizon and the west -
李梓怡After the fatigues, excitements, and terrors of the past days, and in spite of my grief, this seatand the tranquil view and the warm sunlight were very pleasant. I was very tired and sleepy, andsoon my theorizing passed into dozing. Catching myself at that, I took my own hint, and spreadingmyself out upon the turf I had a long and refreshing sleep.

史静仪Ren Fang, Wang Rong and some other writers of recent times have given no attention to linguistic innovation yet vied with each other for using literary allusions that no one else has ever employed. Subsequent writers have turned this practice into a habit. And so, all sentences must contain allusions, and every word and expression has to be traceable to some sources. Allusions are clumsily tacked onto the authors' own words, severely damaging their works. There are few poets capable of producing works that display the pristine beauty of nature or their genuine sentiments. (Zhong Rong: Preface to "The Critique of Poetry")

李沁萱The separation of an object's hardness from its whiteness is a proposition advanced by Gongsunlongzi. Looking at a hard and white stone, one can only see its whiteness but not its hardness; while touching the stone with one's hand, one can only feel its hardness but not that it is white. Hardness and whiteness are separate. They do not manifest themselves at the same time: thus, a white stone that is hard cannot be called a hard and white stone. Gongsunlongzi used this example to express his understanding of the properties of things. These properties are

菅九蓉The Time Traveller (for so it will be convenient to speak of him) was expounding a recondite matter to us. His grey eyes shone and twinkled, and his usually pale face was flushed and animated. The fire burned brightly, and the soft radiance of the incandescent lights in the lilies of silver caught the bubbles that flashed and passed in our glasses.

王文仟The necessity of the interaction of the near and the far follows directly from the nature of thinking. Where there is thought, something present suggests and indicates something absent.
