This thesis explores the correlation between museum and political and policy changes in the Peoples Republic of China with selected regional museums as the research object. The objective is to study what changes have taken place in selected Chinese regional museums and understand what roles political and policy changes in the country have had on the process. Six regional museums from four regions are examined. Major focus is on the broad changes within the museums at the same time as close examination on the specific museum representations has been carried out. Pertinent issues include diversity and unity, regional identity and national identity, representation of identity, regional development policy and cultural tourism. The research revealed that policy has a strong influence on all the museums studied but there are also differences between regions. Museums are not only the targets but also the instruments of policy and government. Key words: China, museum, change, policy, representation, identity, nationalism, diversity, unity, cultural tourism 4 Contents ! !" #!$ % & ' " # $ % ( ) * " *' + , - ' +" - -. " & ' $ (( !

Introduction Museums are changing, which is reflected in their functions, their roles, their operations as well as their definitions. Kenneth Hudson (1998) once argued that “the museum refuses to stand still” (p. 43). Hudson notes one facet of museum change in that there is generally an aspiration of the museum, through its staff, for change. There is, however, another facet related to museums and change in that the museum is not immune to external change. Forces that generate museum change come from a number of sources including governments (of different levels), the public, related disciplines or peers. This thesis targets at museum and change and explores the correlation between museum and political and policy changes in the Peoples Republic of China (hereafter as PRC) through selected regional museums. While many studies have discussed the after-effect of museum change, namely what museum

This ideal, which is at the core of the modern folk theory of masculinity in Nanchong, centres on notions of men's ability (nengli) and responsibility (zeren).

JABLONSKI3 Denise F. SU4 LI Wen-Qi5 (1 Key Laboratory of Vertebrate Evolution and Human Origins of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, Chinese Academy of Sciences Beijing 100044, China [email protected]) (2 Research Center for Southeast Asian Archeology & Yunnan Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology Kunming 650118, China) (3 Department of Anthropology, the Pennsylvania State University University Park, PA 16802, USA) (4 Department of Paleobotany and Paleoecology, Cleveland Museum of Natural History Cleveland, OH 44106, USA) (5 Zhaoyang Museum Zhaotong, Yunnan 657000, China) Abstract Rescue excavations carried out from 2007 to 2010 at the Shuitangba lignite field in Zhaotong, Yunnan Province, not only resulted in the discovery of a new hominoid cranium and the addition of a new hominoid site in Yunnan, but the finding of a new muntjak with following characters: the brow tine is very close to the burr, which is moderately developed; the main beam extends backward and somewhat laterally, and then turns somewhat medially; and the neocrista and entocingulum are developed on the upper molars. The four limbs are relatively short. A cladistic analysis shows that the new materials represent a muntjak that is not in a sister-group relationship with Muntiacus leilaoensis from Yuanmou Late Miocene hominoid site, but rather represents an independent branch. Muntiacus zhaotongensis sp. nov. is proposed for the new muntjak materials.

  • Transmission of Han Pictorial Motifs Into the Western Periphery: Fuxi and Nüwa in the Wei-Jin Mural Tombs in the Hexi Corridor*8
    DOI: 10.4312/as.2019.7.2.47-86 47 Transmission of Han Pictorial Motifs into the Western Periphery: Fuxi and Nüwa in the Wei-Jin Mural Tombs in the Hexi Corridor*8 ∗∗ Nataša VAMPELJ SUHADOLNIK 9 Abstract This paper examines the ways in which Fuxi and Nüwa were depicted inside the mu- ral tombs of the Wei-Jin dynasties along the Hexi Corridor as compared to their Han counterparts from the Central Plains. Pursuing typological, stylistic, and iconographic approaches, it investigates how the western periphery inherited the knowledge of the divine pair and further discusses the transition of the iconographic and stylistic design of both deities from the Han (206 BCE–220 CE) to the Wei and Western Jin dynasties (220–316). Furthermore, examining the origins of the migrants on the basis of historical records, it also attempts to discuss the possible regional connections and migration from different parts of the Chinese central territory to the western periphery. On the basis of these approaches, it reveals that the depiction of Fuxi and Nüwa in Gansu area was modelled on the Shandong regional pattern and further evolved into a unique pattern formed by an iconographic conglomeration of all attributes and other physical characteristics. Accordingly, the Shandong region style not only spread to surrounding areas in the central Chinese territory but even to the more remote border regions, where it became the model for funerary art motifs. Key Words: Fuxi, Nüwa, the sun, the moon, a try square, a pair of compasses, Han Dynasty, Wei-Jin period, Shandong, migration Prenos slikovnih motivov na zahodno periferijo: Fuxi in Nüwa v grobnicah s poslikavo iz obdobja Wei Jin na območju prehoda Hexi Izvleček Pričujoči prispevek v primerjalni perspektivi obravnava upodobitev Fuxija in Nüwe v grobnicah s poslikavo iz časa dinastij Wei in Zahodni Jin (220–316) iz province Gansu * The author acknowledges the financial support of the Slovenian Research Agency (ARRS) in the framework of the research core funding Asian languages and Cultures (P6-0243).

  • The Use of Digital Technologies to Enhance User Experience at Gansu Provincial Museum
    The Use of Digital Technologies to Enhance User Experience at Gansu Provincial Museum Jun E1, Feng Zhao2, Soo Choon Loy2 1 Gansu Provincial Museum, Lanzhou, 3 Xijnxi Road 2 Amber Digital Solutions, Beijing, Shijingshan, 74 Lugu Road, Zhongguo Ruida Building, F809, 100040, China [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. This paper discusses the critical issues faced by Gansu Provincial Museum in attracting and maintaining its audiences, and how it engages digital technology to create new compelling exhibits via the use of both digital and multimedia tools. Real life examples using virtual reality, augmented reality and interactive games will be briefly discussed. Keywords: Smart Museum, CAVE, Sand Model, Digitization 1 Introduction As digital technology evolves, more and more conventional museums are exploring new and innovative methods to go beyond the mere display of physical artefacts. Gansu provincial museum is no otherwise. The urge to engage technologies becomes stronger as visitors become more affluent and are seeking more enriching experiences that digital technologies can provide. Technologies that can share deeper contextual information about the museum’s cultural artefacts include touch screens, projectors, multi-medias, virtual reality and interactive games. However, all these are made possible and be exploited to the very best only if the cultural exhibits are digitally available. Digital exhibits provide opportunities for the production of new information by recreating interactive models and incorporating visual and sound effects. Such end products form better and efficient tools for disseminating valuable information about the artefacts than if they were merely displayed physically. 1.1 Objectives of the paper This paper discusses how Gansu Provincial Museum engages digital technology to resolve its main issue of creating new compelling exhibits via the use of both digital and multimedia tools.
