It is generally believed, in his book San Yan, Feng Menglong shows a great contradictoriness when it related to female marriage problems, which is female are encouraged to pursue their emotional partners while being strongly demanded to keep the chastity. Existing researches seem relatively simple and superficially. Based on the influence Xin Xue has exerted on Feng, this article offers a thorough analysis of how Feng's inheritance plays a decisive role on creating the contradictoriness in Female marriage stories. Chapter 2 lists several concrete contradictory representations in female marriage stories. Chapter 3 starts with two aspects: theoretical inheritance and practical inheritance, assisting with specific stories, shows that Xin Xue has played a profound and key role in the formation of such contradictions. Finally, it arrived at a conclusion that Feng's stories are actually a fully reflection of the philosophy Xin Xue, and the contradictoriness appears in the stories is indeed the self-contradiction of Xin Xue.

Lipogenesis is under the concerted action of ChREBP, SREBP-1c and other transcription factors in response to glucose and insulin. The isolated porcine preadipocytes were differentiated into mature adipocytes to investigate the roles and interrelation of these transcription factors in the context of glucose- and insulin-induced lipogenesis in pigs. In ChREBP-silenced adipocytes, glucose-induced lipogenesis decreased by ~70%, however insulin-induced lipogenesis was unaffected. Moreover, insulin had no effect on ChREBP expression of unperturbed adipocytes irrespective of glucose concentration, suggesting ChREBP mediate glucose-induced lipogenesis. Insulin stimulated SREBP-1c expression and when SREBP-1c activation was blocked, and the insulin-induced lipogenesis decreased by ~55%, suggesting SREBP-1c is a key transcription factor mediating insulin-induced lipogenesis. $LXR{\alpha}$ activation promoted lipogenesis and lipogenic genes expression. In ChREBP-silenced or SREBP-1c activation blocked adipocytes, $LXR{\alpha}$ activation facilitated lipogenesis and SREBP-1c expression, but had no effect on ChREBP expression. Therefore, $LXR{\alpha}$ might mediate lipogenesis via SREBP-1c rather than ChREBP. When ChREBP expression was silenced and SREBP-1c activation blocked simultaneously, glucose and insulin were still able to stimulated lipogenesis and lipogenic genes expression, and $LXR{\alpha}$ activation enhanced these effects, suggesting $LXR{\alpha}$ mediated directly glucose- and insulin-induced lipogenesis. In summary, glucose and insulin stimulated lipogenesis through both dissimilar and identical regulation pathway in porcine adipocytes.
