Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to cast light on the ideology expressed within the lines of Tsitsi Dangarembga’s Nervous conditions. The author in her trial to reflect upon the Zimbabwean community tends implicitly to invite the reader to consider the social status and by virtue the social sufferings accorded to the African woman in a society that decides to minimize the womanist presence to a mere asset exploited by men. Some of Dangarembga’s concerns in the novel touch upon gender, the African social dogmata, the roles stipulated to women by their macho counterparts and the taken for granted responsibilities of men, and their identities and personal ambitions apart from their stated roles. The paper launches a claim on gender and its upshot on marginalizing women and strengthening the knot of racism. Then, it tackles gender roles and the respective sociocultural dictations of rights and duties of African men and women. Under the same heading, gender identities and the internal and external conflicts of the characters throughout the way of self-realization are attached due heed. The paper tends to confer a virtual view to the intentions of the novel in making explicit the harrowing effect of the chauvinist community on squashing the feminine identity. Considerations of the colonial influence on the original African identity are also thought through. The paper aspires in the meantime to consider interdisciplinary issues by incorporating the field and theoretical views vis-à-vis the points mulled over in the work.

Abstract: Intactness of the present scroll of “Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival” and controversy about its missing last part or frontispiece concern us today. The postscript of “Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival” by Li Dongyang in Ming Dynasty that said it had a length of over 666cm tells us the present scroll with 528.7cm is not intact. According to postscript of Li Dongyang, many scenes and objects in original painting cannot be found in the present scroll of the painting. Therefore, we can be certain that the contents of the present scroll of “Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival” are missing. And according to relevant historical documents, archaeological materials and current topography and landform of today Kaifeng, we can ascertain through analysis that the missing scene of the present scroll of “Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival” is located in the outskirts. The layout of painting scroll recorded by Li Dongyang, describing it’s simple but comprehensive from outer suburb to near city, and relevant literatures further demonstrate that the missing scene of the present scroll of “Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival” is located in eastern outskirts. Consequently, the conclusion that the missing part of picture scroll is frontispiece instead of last part is drawn.
