20090203

• Freud believed that personalities developed through a battle between primitive urges and the need to get along with others.
• According to Freud, children pass through three predictable stages of psycho-sexual development - the oral stage, the anal stage and the phallic stage.
• Freud identified three parts of personality: the id, the superego and the ego.
• Defense mechanisms help us cope with unbearable thoughts, feelings and wished. Some of these are
  

1. repression,
2. projection, Psychological projection is a defense mechanism in which one attributes one's own unacceptable or unwanted thoughts and / or emotions to others. Projection occurs when a person's own unacceptable or threatening feelings are repressed and then attributed to someone else. Projection reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of the unconscious impulses or desires without letting the conscious mind recognize them. An example of such simple behavior would be: blame for failure, making excuse for your own faults by projecting the cause of said failure onto someone else, hence blaming them and not accepting the reality of the failure. (Wikipedia)
   
3. rationalization,
   
4. reaction formation, occurs when anxiety-producing or unacceptable emotions and impulses are masted by exaggeration of the directly opposing tendency. life vs. death, construction vs. destruction, action vs. passivity, dominance vs. submission and so on. Two people really fond each other fight all the time, in order to suppress their desire of love for each other.
   
5. displacement
6. and sublimation. Sublimation is the process of transforming erotic energy (Libido) into 'socially useful' achievements, mainly arts.
   

conscious mind,
preconscious mind,
unconscious mind
For Freud, the unconscious is a repository for socially unacceptable ideas, wishes or desires, traumatic memories and painful emotion put out of mind by the mechanism of psychological repression. The unconscious is a force that can only be recognized by its effects -- it express itslef in the symptom.

V20090117 The Theory Of Carl Gustav Jung

C.G.Jung's conceptions
The unconscious
Collective Unconscious
It is common for everyone, and it has the better sense of the self's ideal than the ego or conscious self does. It thus directs the self via archetypes, dreams and initution and drives the person to make mistakes on purpose. In this way, it moves the psyche towards individuation.

(转述自http://www.mie168.com/human-resource/2004-04/131498.htm）
很多人有过这样的经验：睡梦中梦见一脚踏空坠下来，然后惊醒。Jung对此的解释是：人类祖先曾在树上睡觉，经常在睡梦中从树上掉下来。这种普遍的共同经验在进化中积累下来，代代相传，构成一种人类普遍的、反复发生的心理内容。它不是由个人经验获得的，从未在意识中出现过，它的存在完全来自遗传，由archetypes和本能构成。
The archetypes are the Self (Persona)，trickster, wise old man, the Anima or Animus, the Shadow.

Jung's Archetypes:

• Persona(masks the self)：是individual迎合社会标准扮演的角色，为了给社会一个好印象而被社会接纳承认，Persona与人的本来面目对立。individual过分沉湎于Persona（自己扮演的社会角色），人格的其他部分就会受到损害。
• Anima:是个体CU中的女性，个体CU中的男性则是Animus (人心理中男性；人心理中的女性叫Animus。) 数百万年的男女交往，使得每个人都带有异性的特质两性间才能协调、理解。Anima/Animus本身是unconscious，会被个体无意识的投射给一个亲爱的人，是情欲的吸引与拒绝的主要原因之一。Persona与Anima/Animus 是相互冲突的，并使其得不到充分发展。极端是会招致Anima/Animus的报复。Anima/animus的过分发展会导致同性恋或易装癖。个体CU中，Anima控制了Ego，个体的behavor 表现强烈女性特征；Animus控制了ego则表现强烈男性特征。
  
• Another archetype is that of the anima(male) and animus (female), or more simply, the Soul, and is the route to communication with the collective unconscious. Whilst men have a fundamental anima and women animus, each may also have the other, just at men have a feminine side and women a masculine.
  
• The shadow：The thing a person has not wish to be. 容纳着人最基本的动物性，是维持生存必须的现实洞察能力和对刺激反应的源泉，它强大、危险，是人最好的一面和最坏一面的发源地，需要强大的Persona来压抑Shadow的显现，人因而变得优雅但丧失自然活力和创新精神，Persona对shadow的压抑削弱了强烈的情感和深邃的知觉，丧失来源于本能天性的智慧。
• 当the self 与the shadow和谐时，人会感到自己充满生命的活力。自我应引导生命力从本能中释放和辐射出来。若shadow收到严重压抑，它就会反扑。人往往会把自己受到压抑排斥的shadow冲动投射(projection)到同性身上。例如，某人攻击他人的shadow非常强烈并被压抑，这是他会认为别人有攻击他的想法。

20080619 The Present Perfect Progressive

The present perfect progressive says the action started happening before the time you say the sentence and continues up to the time of your saying it. Maybe the action stops just before you say the sentence and maybe the action continues as you say the sentence, or even continues after you say the sentence, but the main idea is that it starts before you say the sentence. Again, suppose it is 6 o'clock.

I have been computering for 6 hours.
( I turned on my computer at 8:00 am, I use computer continues up to now(2:00pm).

He has been watching TV for 3 hours.
(now, he is also watching TV)

Another way the present perfect progressive can work, if no amount of time is specified, is that the action occurred in the past and continued for some time and then stopped, but there is evidence at the time of speaking that the action did occur.

20090115 Grammatical TENSE and ASPECT
Grammatical tense and aspect involve in time and state of a main verb in English sentence. There are two tenses, right now(present tense) and past, which mean when the action take place. Present tense of main verbs are formed by adding -s in the end of a verb, such as in the sentence: Plane ditches in New York river. In most situation, the present -s could be removed. But we'd better imagine that there is a -s in the present tense main verbs. Past tense of verb is formed by adding an -ed in the end of a verb. (I'd like to thing the -ed means short form of end here). Regarding aspect, they are complete action which means an action have beginning and ending, and non-complete action (continue or progress) which means an action only have beginning, and non-specific aspect. here's some examples:
1.Rainbow appears. (It's right now, right here, so you and me can see that. )
2. Rainbow appeared. ( It was there yesterday, but now we can't see it.)
3. He has arrived. (He is here now. He "has" the action of arrive. )
4. He is running to here. (He is not here right now, but he is very close to here.)
5. She was running when I saw her yesterday morning.
6. He arrived when the plane had took off. ( the plane took off, then disappeared, then he came.)

v20090112 Maslow's Hierarchy Needs Theory

2009-1-12

Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs

Authorship of Wang Yan Cheng, Vincent

Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs motivation theory suggests that within each person there are five hierarchical needs, and the individual must satisfy each level before they move onto the next. They are:

1. physiological needs: needed for basic survival including food, shelter, sexual satisfaction i.e.

2. safety needs. When all physiological needs are satisfied and are no longer controlling thoughts and behaviors, then the needs for security can become active. They are the individual yearning for a predictable, orderly world in which injustice and inconsistency are under control. Safety, or security needs include safety of body ,safety of property, health and well-being, safety in numbers (gang).

3. social needs. When the needs for physiological well-being and for safety are satisfied, the next class of needs for love (to love and be loved sexually and non-sexually by others), affection and belongingness can emerge. This psychological aspect involves emotionally-based relationship in general.

4. esteem needs: when the first three class of needs satisfied, the needs for esteem can become dominate. These involve need for both self-esteem and esteem an individual gets from others. Humans have a need for a stable, firmly based high level of self-respect and respect from others. When these needs are satisfied, a person feels confidence and valuable. When these needs are frustrated, the person feels worthless, helpless weak and inferior.

5. self actualization (or aesthetic) need. The point of reaching one’s full potential as a person’s need to be or do that which the person was “born to do”.

V20081223 Long-men Grottoes

2008年12月8日16：30时我从河南安阳乘票价71.5元长途客车约5小时后到达河南洛阳住进BK公司当事人委托的朋友张小姐预订的位于洛阳市中心区广州路步行街附近的房价180元雅香国际大酒店1207房。
次日早起乘30元出租车至洛阳郊外东南方向的龙门石窟。当天晴朗、寒冷、寒风。途径洛河见水坝流水结冰。
2008年12月9日8时30分左右到收费口。租导游电器押金300元租金20元买门票80元后进入景区。
龙门石窟凿于伊水（河）两岸的石壁，伊水由西南向东北与洛水（河）汇流后流入黄河。伊水比我想象中要干净，河水很浅，在凌冽寒风中瑟瑟反射阳光，当时河中的浅谈上居然有一只白色的鹭鸶，仿佛来自异时空。
大量石窟主要开凿于沿伊水西岸约2公里延伸的岩石上，东岸与伊水垂直方向的一条山谷中也有少量石窟群，于西岸平行东岸的岩石也开凿更少量石窟群，东岸有一个叫做香山寺的翻新寺庙，主要用于炒作唐朝诗人白居易和前中华民国总统蒋介石概念。
龙门石窟是在伊水两岸的岩石上凿出石洞并直接凿出佛像，石像基本是释迦摩尼的标准造型，两旁还有他的弟子的雕像，石窟之外的岩壁上是些金刚、力士的石雕，石像很单调，还不如重庆大足石刻的石雕生动丰富。九成以上的石雕是残破的，基本上是被“斩首”，头不见了或者被砸的面目全非。能看到面目的大小佛像都是一幅政治局开会表情，而金刚力士则一色的城管表情。雕塑完全不讲人体比例和透视，除了一个在东岸山沟里的力士有点肌肉和阳刚的希腊石雕的风格之外，其余没什么亮点了。比起它们同时代的罗马雕塑，无论工艺、人体比例、表现力、雕刻工具的科技含量都是小儿科，如果一定维护你们某些人的自尊心的话，只能说龙门石窟的工程量巨大以及某些石像的尺寸巨大。某些石窟工程量巨大，据说工期有在十年以上的，据说都是皇家工程，这是劳动力低贱及集权化政治彰显人力动员能力的标本。
据说石窟开始开凿于北魏孝文帝时代，是信奉佛教的人们出资开凿的。个人自己雇请石匠开凿grotto，大抵是为了彰显佛法、崇拜佛教、还愿、笃信，显摆……，依个人财力大小，洞窟的大小各异。（未完待续）

Chengdu Impressing

成都印象

2008-8-28

躺在酒店床上，听着平原绫香的《苏州夜曲》，记录对这个天府之城的印象。
当事人单位的人一再强调，“成都是个休闲的城市，你一定会爱上它”。这个城市我来过多次：8x年的财贸学院宿舍、9x年的一环路南三段、去年9月在凯宾斯基酒店的同学聚会、11月小南街那个小心翼翼的当事人何×玺、这次处理尹x亚的债务纠纷，这不又来一次了......但只有这几年有静静端详它的心态。我不会爱上“它”，像任何一个南来北往的城市，凌晨醒来甚至需要想想究竟是躺在哪个城市的同样装修的商务酒店。文殊坊的滑稽和尚、锦里的Starbucks coffee、每个中国城市必有的人民路、每道菜必有辣椒毫不宽容…记得大学时代同宿舍那个自以为是对成都十分向往的雅安同学说过的笑话：60年代红卫兵头头躲避追捕躲到峨眉山，在山上题诗一首“人索峨嵋好景秀，我索峨嵋好个毬，不是蓉城抓爬虫，哪个龟儿到此游”。呵呵，经典。好熟悉的四川话。
酒店对面的人民公园里，有个传统茶馆，好熟悉似曾相识的公园茶馆。不知在缠包头、喝盖碗茶、摆龙门阵那个时代，那个不知躲在湖北还是河南为巴结权贵不惜娶丑媳妇的诸葛亮、那个以考状元给出路把用椒盐话读四书五经的成都人都给杀了的张献忠、那些从南方来的“湖广填四川”的客家人；1940年代500大洋一个月工资驾驶P-40战机打日本人的美国田纳西农家子弟们…他们是如何像我今天这样与这个城市面面相觑的？
喝过啤酒走在他们的“宽巷子”，恍惚不知是在浙江的乌镇，还是在西湖边河坊街，还是在大理的古城，还是在重庆的磁器口，还是在南京的秦淮河畔……一样目光呆板的人群，一样穿着大大T恤还自豪印着“I AM JUICY”的MM，一样不知哪里来的恶臭的臭豆腐味飘逸满街（张献忠当年真应该多杀一些卖这东东的人们），办证的电话号码全中国一个字体。对了，没房住的杜甫，与夫私奔的卓文君妹妹，不知当年是否也像我这样嗅着浓浓飘散的红油味道。
“好雨知时节，当春乃发生，随风潜入夜，润物细无声，晓看红湿处，花重锦官城。”中间一句背不得了。这不，小时候还背过古诗，也是写这城市的。杜甫的诗干巴巴的合乎逻辑严谨，但就是不如李白牛X哈。别说，那个红卫兵的诗感觉不但有几分李白的味道,而且传神了我对这个城市的心境。
睡觉了。

Hiking

　　I went hiking on Aug. 2 and 3, 2008 with about 18 guys. We left Haikou at about 9 am by a van and arrived at a small village in middle of Hainan Island. It was pretty good sunshine. After preparing, we began hiking at about 4 pm and got to the vally where we set up tents for contonment. I got up at 8 am next day. It was a beautiful morning I ever experenced and the feeling was so good. We went back at 10 am, and walked through a rough muddy path. Finishing the exciting outdoor activity, we back to Haikou at 10 pm. It was my first time to join a outdoor activity and it was a great experence.

MAO Tse Tung's poem This is history！ Translated into oral Chinese by Vincent

THIS IS HISTORY
By Mao Tse Tung

你们这群可怜的猴子，
就因为会磨几个石头工具就把自己叫“人”了！
你们刚刚变过人来那阵子，
都干了些啥啦？
最牛逼的事也不过不用石刀石斧，
会炼铜器呀打铁刀了对吧？
这也不过是几千年前的事吧
就这点时间里你们有几年是和睦相处的？
总是拿着铜剑呀铁刀弓箭呀彼此杀呀砍呀，
一下阿猫打败了阿狗，一下阿猪又灭了阿猫，
你们哪块地盘不是腥血染红的呀？

你们写了那么多的那些JB个“历史”，
老子年轻时开始读，
等到我差不多读完一遍我都长白头发了，我都老人了我！
记得住不就那点子事。
王侯将相在历史书里个个圣人样子，
“历史”不都是你们这些垄断话语权的人写的？
真相都被你们河蟹了不是，
也不知骗过了多少善良的人。
写进历史的人有几个是东西？
我看那些被你们贬低的一钱不值的强盗呀暴徒呀，
像哪个谁谁谁把孔老二屌过一顿的柳下跖呀，
像那个鄙视你们这些鸟人而远走滇池自立为王的庄蹻呀才是汉子，
对了，还要算上陈胜、吴广这些不信你们邪的人们，
他们杀你们这些王八蛋的吼声不就一直回荡在这颗星球上，
回荡在我正读着的你们这些混帐“历史”书里，
哎哟，读了整夜，这不天都快亮了。闪人。

My Shangri-La

我的SHANGRI_LA

　　Du-he-rong Dukerong (独客宗)

　　9月15日早上9点乘坐昆 明西站的大巴经过11小时来到中甸，住进弟弟事先定好的独客宗古城一家叫仁和的背包族客栈。独客宗是藏语，问过三个人，夏诺次仁旺堆、格桑卓玛和一个在独 客宗开户外摄影的藏族摄影师，独客宗是石头街道或石头城的意思。中甸是tibetan文化区，据说在清国之前中甸都是拉萨政府的势力范围，由拉萨实际控制 的地区，“zong”或“rong”是城堡的意思，“du”是石头的意思，独客宗意思是石头城堡，大抵相当于拉萨武装部驻理塘支队之类，是拉萨宣示主权的 政治机构。今天，拉萨的主权早已灰飞烟灭，独客宗这个单词也貌似被今天主权者有意无意地淡化。
　　独客宗古城是个依高地而建的建筑群，基本是 藏式民居，接踵并肩密密麻麻，翻修痕迹犹在，可能是看了丽江四方街的火爆眼红后模仿的商业区，城内到处都是那种迎合西方背包客的酒吧、客栈、餐厅满是那种 西方小资试的英文招贴，一如“Tibetan pizza”“pop corn”“ice beer”之类，看多了感觉与丽江四方街大理洋人街一样雷同，活脱脱一个大大的青年旅舍。店主房东都不是本地人，尽是些可疑的浙江或四川人。出售的商品也 是似曾相识的有藏族元素的旅游纪念品，形形色色的商品中至少绿松石和户外用品充斥假货，其他的偶不懂，但估计不乏伪劣商品。
　　中外背包客追 寻的、不远万里来藏区做生意的汉人兜售的、满脸奸笑的导游背诵的、各级政府文宣炒作的不过是一个早已死亡的文化概念。tibet曾经也是个强势文化圈，向 周边地区输出价值观，但今天的Tibetan已经式微，越来越多的藏人不再说藏语，取代独客宗的是穿绿色制服的汉人
