北大语言、文学、文化通选课(七)
  1. Due to the complications arising behind Chinese language use, thus even until now the theories that have been come up with to explain is still insufficient as there are certain ways of usage which have been proven to be abnormal. This is because there are times when people do not use language by the rule and change the rules when it suits their use.
  2. Repetitions in the use of language is usually to build up the atmosphere and bring across a message stronger, especially in Chinese where we associate cube words with meanings and pronounciation. It is also a rhetoric use to make the whole piece of work sound nicer upon reading out loud.
  3. Buddhism did not spread around China smoothly, successfully and easily. There were times in history when it has been clamped down hard in China, where people were forced to surrender Buddhist believers, Buddhist believers forced to change or stop believing if not be killed or jailed, Buddhist scriptures burnt or destroyed.
