  • The Birth of Chinese Nationalism
    The Birth of Chinese Nationalism By Salvatore Babones May 3, 2019 In China, May 4 is Youth Day, a holiday established by the Communist Party in 1949 and celebrated on and off ever since. On this day in 1989, more than 100,000 students demonstrated in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square, a key milestone on road to the tragic events of June 4, when Chinese troops opened fire on the civilians amassed there. This year, China’s president and Communist Party leader, Xi Jinping, has called on students to commemorate a very special Youth Day. But it’s not the 30th anniversary of 1989’s pro- democracy protests that he has in mind. Rather, it is the 100th anniversary of May 4, 1919, that he wants to commemorate. On that day a century ago, another group of students rallied in Tiananmen Square. In May 1919, the leaders of World War I’s victorious allies were meeting in Paris to determine the shape of the postwar world. Most Westerners know that the resulting Treaty of Versailles profoundly influenced subsequent European history through the foundation of the League of Nations, the rise of Adolf Hitler, and eventually World War II. Some may even know how the peace treaty, the Balfour Declaration, and the Sykes-Picot Agreement created the modern Middle East. But Westerners are less aware that the Treaty of Versailles also helped set in motion the series of events that led to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the Chinese Civil War, and today’s tensions between the United States and China over freedom of navigation in the South China Sea.

  • May in the Far East Asian Culture Club 5/13/2021 China
    May in the Far East Asian Culture Club 5/13/2021 China May 1 Labor Day 劳动节 Láodòng jié Labor Day China has several public holidays of national character. These holidays include 1 May - Labor Day. Until 2008, this holiday was celebrated for seven days, however later the Chinese government decided to reduce the number of off-days to three in favor of other traditional Chinese holidays. The history of International Workers' Day in China started in 1919, when the intelligentsia initiated insurgencies in Shanghai. Later, in 1920, Beijing and Shanghai held the first-ever demonstration in honor of all workers. Officially, this holiday was established and approved by the Chinese government in 1949. During the “cultural revolution” May Day in China was considered, almost the most important holiday in the country. Amplitudinous rallies and demonstrations across China were organized to celebrate this Day. The holiday was more of a political character. However, at the end of XX century, the situation changed dramatically. Today Labor Day in China is a sort of a cheerful family holiday. During these three days of holidays, the Chinese go to the country, meet friends, and attend solemn events. Many people visit theaters and exhibitions. The streets of the Chinese cities hold demonstrations and performances. May Day holidays is the best time to visit China, because at this period of year, the government gives permission for discounts. Not only can you visit the main attractions of the country at discounted prices, but also to go shopping. May 4 Youth Day In the People's Republic of China, Youth Day celebrated on May 4.

  • The Los Angeles Chinese Confucius Temple School: Heritage, Transformation, and Renovation
    International Journal for Innovation Education and Research www.ijier.net Vol.3-2, 2015 The Los Angeles Chinese Confucius Temple School: Heritage, Transformation, and Renovation Yu-Ju Hung, Ph.D. Assistant Professor History Department, Chinese Culture University, Taiwan (R.O.C.) [email protected] Abstract The creation of mother-tongue language schools was the prevalent phenomenon in the American immigration communities in the nineteenth and twentieth century. Some European, such as German, immigrants capitalized their ethnic network to develop their ethnic language instructions within the systems of public school or religious parochial school, while certain Asian (Chinese or Japanese) immigrants created private language schools to maintain their heritage and culture for younger generations. Through the case study of history of the Chinese Confucius Temple School in Los Angeles Chinatown, along with the examination of theoretical frame of contemporary non-English mother-tongue schools in the United States, this study demonstrate the transformation of Chinese language school in the aftermath of 1950s. It shows that the development of language school not only dwells on the issues of Mandarin-learning and culture maintenance, but also accompanies with the transition of Chinese community from inner-city enclave to suburbs. Keywords: Language school, Los Angeles Chinatown, Chinese Confucius Temple School, Chinese tradition, cultural heritage Introduction: The development of Chinese language schools dates back to the late 1880s when the first one, Chinese Minister Zhang Yinguan, was established in San Francisco.1 In the following years to serve the needs of early immigrants, classes in Cantonese language were provided for the residents of Chinatown in a number of large cities in the United States.

  • China Information
    China Information The Great Wall. The Yangtze River. The Forbidden City. China is a country rich with intrigue, natural wonders and magical charm. Lavish palaces and pagodas await your discovery here alongside ancient marvels like the terra-cotta warriors and the Ming Tombs. Nowhere is the juxtaposition of old and new more poignant than in China, where the cosmopolitan cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong are surrounded by sights and cultural traditions dating back thousands of years. History A history spanning more than 5,000 years is not easily summarized. It should be noted, however, that while we tend to separate Western and Eastern civilizations, much of what we enjoy in our modern world originated here in China—from noodles and ice cream to fireworks, opera and philosophy. China was a land ruled by Dynasties from 211 B.C. until Nationalist Party leader Sun Yat-sen toppled the rule of the Manchu Dynasty in 1911. The twentieth century was a period of chaos in China, rife with power struggles and cultural suppression. More recently, the handover of Hong Kong and Macau have ushered in a more forward-thinking China with an eye on unity and economic growth. Recent successes include China’s involvement in the World Trade Organization and its successful bid for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

As a new data source for crowd behavior research in the era of big data, it can reflect some aspects of the behavior of residents. In this study, a text classification model based on the BERT and Transformers framework was constructed, which was used to classify and extract more than 210,000 residents’ festival activities based on the 1.13 million Sina Weibo (Chinese “Twitter”) data collected from Beijing in 2019 data. On this basis, word frequency statistics, part-of-speech analysis, topic model, sentiment analysis and other methods were used to perceive different types of festival activities and quantitatively analyze the spatial differences of different types of festivals. The results show that traditional culture significantly influences residents’ festivals, reflecting residents’ motivation to participate in festivals and how residents participate in festivals and express their emotions. There are apparent spatial differences among residents in participating in festival activities.
