Language is rich in equivalent categories, most of which are subordinate measurements of time and space and are psychologically consistent with basic measurements. By means of phonetic experiments, the present paper aims to prove that psychological consistency can be realized as phonetic iconicity in terms of physical properties. These representations include size of resonance cavity, sound duration, fundamental frequency, intensity, among others. Based on the assumption that Space Exponential Model offers a measure of basic phonetic measurements, the present study performs statistical analysis of 35 pairs of common monosyllabic antonyms. Data derived from these cases are in consistency with psychological perception. Some deviant cases are also corrected in comprehensive calculations.

This article was written to study on the aspects of Zhao-Jia(趙嘏)’s ‘Gwageo poem(科擧詩, the poetry of imperial examinations)’. Zhao-Jia(趙嘏) is one of the poets of Late Tang Dynasty. To enlarge the research on the hopelessness and remorse in Zhao-Jia(趙嘏)’s poems, I have noticed his ‘Gwageo poem’. Zhao-Jia(趙嘏) is the poet who wrote the most many poetry when failed imperial examinations. His poetry work, which he wrote in connection with his pursuit of office, was used as a way to inform others about his situation and to show his literary talents. In his humble attitude, he recorded his feelings of seeking comfort and advice from his acquaintances. It is also found that the doctrine and rhetorical techniques are used to show off his skills. The main content of Zhao-Jia’s poetry of imperial examinations is that the expression of his own sadness and frustration of failure, comfort for oneself, consciousness of consent for other friends who failed, and comfort and encouragement to others.

After established pseudo-Manchukuo in northeastern China in 1932, Japanese colonialists used the language as another weapon and laid out elaborately in the ideological field. In order to indoctrinate teenagers, fairy tales were used as a tool of cultural aggression. Under the cover of slogans such as “The king governs the country well and people live and work in peace ” and “Five minorities live in harmony” by the colonialists, the “Japanese” “Manchu” “Mongolian” “Russian” and “Korean” writers living in Manchukuo were filled with ups and downs in respective ways. The Manchukuo’s multilingual fairy tales are special colonial product, and studying “Mongolian” and “Korean” fairy tales will reproduce the mediation, affiliation and struggle of the national language and culture in the colonial literature, and reveal the undercurrent and confusion of subjective ideology at the mercy of colonialists.
