 Translation as Manipulation: a Case Study
Yan's other added words meant that protection of individual liberty is helpful to the liberty of the state, but he laid more emphasis on the distinction between state power and individual liberty and strengthened his view that the state liberty counts more than individual liberty.
Whether Yan was conscious of it or not, some of his notes did not match the themes of the paragraphs, and Yan was suspected of manipulating the notes for his own purpose.
Yan Fu said in the translator's note that the source text was profound in both thought and language and he had to restructure it to make it intelligible.

 In Search of Wealth and Power
Yan's conservatism was grounded in his understanding (derived from Western sources) of the necessarily gradual character of social evolution, and thus must not be equated with traditionalism.
Yan, not troubled by a conflict between 'history' and 'value', was able throughout his life to compare foreign and Chinese ideas without feeling the need to justify one in terms of the other.
Yan from his vantage point outside the modern West is able to see certain underlying patterns that are illuminating both in their own right and insofar as these views are generalizable to other outside observers of the West.

Professor Yan sees a parallel to the argument that art produced by peasants and workers was superior to the work of professional painters because their class origin gave them moral superiority.
Yan had visited the Soviet Union in 1950, was familiar with these artistic strategems, and had already used this angle of view in his print Peace, from 1952.
Western elements are not obtrusive, but there is some convergence of the lines of perspective as in Western art, and the fl ground that heightens contrast with the bright colors would never have been used in a traditional peasant creation.

 CHAPTER VI
During the former, including the "Western Affairs Movement" from the 60s to the 90s of the last century and the "Reformation" in the 90s, the ethical significance of Western science and technology was only superficially attended to.
This doctrine incorporated three thought elements derived from Western science and technology: the biological theory of evolution, social progress as promoted by science and technology, and ideologies of all forms including the science of society as an organic whole.
Huang Zunian pointed out that in Western societies, in order to attain the goal of utility via science and technology, individuals are united by the moral concentric force produced by law, order and feeling to form communities devoted to the interests of their members themselves and all society through their competition, excitement and union.

He believed that, while on the surface the Western powers appeared to have great military strength, what had made them strong was not the building of military force itself, but the development of basic science courses such as mathematics, electronics, chemistry, hydrodynamics, etc., which worked together to contribute to the growth of their military prowess.
He Lin (1902-1991) observed that it was Yan Fu who first put forth the three-character criteria, and later translators, whether wittingly or unwittingly, were all guided by these criteria in their practice of translation ([He Lin 1925] Editorial Board 1984a: 117).
He Lin commented that Yan's earlier translations were done by the « sense method, » which was felt to be too free, while his later translations were done by the « literal method, » and were less criticized ([He Lin 1925] Editorial Board 1984a: 119).

 From Chinese Ink to Abstraction
Abstract art, as we understand it in the context of twentieth century western art, is characterized by its emancipation from tradition and by freely developing shapes and designs, as well as its exclusion of representational content.
It is only in the recent two decades that the western notion of abstraction infiltrated the Chinese art vocabulary, and together with the onslaught of other western art forms on the native Chinese psyche, artists started scrambling to find ways to reinvigorate Chinese ink painting.
By using western art concepts as reference points, artists such as the four in the exhibition are faced with new possibilities that ink offers in a new realm where eastern and western traditions coexist.

Skeptical Westerners sometimes mistake this openness to change for a 'placebo effect.' In a placebo-effect situation, the subject is fooled into thinking a therapeutic treatment is working effectively when it is not.

 The Pacific -- Martin Yan
If Yan had showcased this "healthy" cooking style in Asia 15 or 20 years ago, he "probably wouldn't have an audience because the food wouldn't have been available (in Asia)," says Carolyn Jung, food editor at the San Jose Mercury News.
After a year at a college in Calgary, Canada, he decided that Canadian winters were not to his liking and moved to the University of California at Davis, where he received a master's degree in food science in 1975.
Yan grabbed his wok and a spatula, walked over to the man and gave him a "gong." He scolded him for paying so much just to sleep in the class and told him to go home.

 Hurst - Chinese Origins
Whether or not Zhang’s phraseology derived from Western sources he or his students became familiar with in Japan, the fact remains that this terminology is not common in earlier Chinese philosophical discussions of language, symbol, or the sacred.
Yu’s discussion of differences between Chinese and Western philosophical premises suggests that a searching examination of the assumptions on which we ground our understanding of the mimetic is necessary before we embark on an endeavor based on such concepts in the Chinese context.
