Abstract: Cultural media, film, and television works can increase the popularity of the image of tourist destinations, thereby promoting the sustainable development of the tourism industry and obtaining economic benefits. This study takes Chinese kung fu film and television as examples to explore the mechanism of audience participation in the perception of tourist destinations. It further explores the mediating effect of cultural contact. The study took the image perception of tourist destinations as the dependent variable and audience participation as the independent variable. A total of 331 subjects were surveyed, and a multi-layer regression model was established to test the rationality and validity of the hypothetical theoretical model. The research results show that audience participation in martial arts films and television tourism can directly and indirectly affect the audience’s perception of martial arts culture. At the same time, the viewer can achieve contact with martial arts culture through film Citation: Chen, H.; Zuo, Y.; Law, R.; and television, accordingly forming his or her perception of the destination.

  • Social Programme of 3 Istd Symposium
    SOCIAL PROGRAMME OF 3rd ISTD SYMPOSIUM Nov.2~7, 2007, Guangzhou, China Accompanying person Saturday, 3 November 2007 Foshan Trip (Not included in the registration fees ) （1）Foshan Ancestral Temple Ancestral Temple, located at the urban area of Chancheng District, as it was said, was founded during Yuanfeng period of North Song Dynasty (1078-1085), wherein Emperor Yuantian in north China was worshiped by the Taoists. Thus, it was also called "Northern Emperor Temple". The original buildings of the Temple were burnt down in the late Yuan Dynasty and reconstructed in the fifth year of Hongwu Period, Ming Dynasty (1372). Therefore, it is called Ancestral Temples owing to its "long history and the first one of (Foshan's) temples". In 1962, it was recognized as a key protection unit of historical and cultural relics of Guangdong Province and managed by Foshan Museum. With an occupying area of 3500 sq.m, the Ancestral Temple is composed of such buildings as Wanfu Platform, Lingyin Torii, Jinxiang Pond, Zhonggu Garret, Three Gates, Front Hall, Main Hall and Qingzhen Garret, etc in line with the central axial. Prior to setting up local administrations in Qing Dynasty, Ancestral Temple, other than a simple one, was a place aimed at discussing official business. All of its construction materials, or even decorations and furnishings were donated by various industries and mainly produced locally. Typically, Ancestral Temple reflected of the famous foundry and potting handicraft industry in Foshan history. In turn, the refinement and beauty of its architecture reflected of the prosperity of ancient Foshan. In deed, it's a precious historical heritage of Fohan.

Chinese architecture and Chinese opera both enjoy a long history and reveal the Chinese cultural spirit. This study aims to investigate the generality between Chinese architecture and Chinese opera and therefore to enrich the architectural theory as well as to improve the architectural practice. Chinese architecture and Chinese opera share four main aesthetic principles, namely, spatiotemporal nature, decorative characteristics, sense of rhythm, and educational feature. Each of the four principles is discussed and explained through classical examples of Chinese architecture and Chinese opera. Introduction Chinese architecture and Chinese opera both are the comprehensive artistic forms. Architecture is an organic unity of spatial art, formative art, landscape, and luminal art; while Chinese opera is a synthetic art integrating the factors of art, music, dance, literature, martial arts and acrobatics. There are mainly four common aesthetic principles applicable to both Chinese architecture and Chinese opera, namely,

It is an important measure to promote the formation of a new pattern of comprehensive opening up in the new era. With the rapid development of the Greater Bay Area, the three places will inevitably encounter many problems in the process of integration and development, and cultural identity is an important one of them. From the perspective of the overall structure, Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao are all dominated by Lingnan culture. The three places belong to the Lingnan cultural circle. There must be many similarities in terms of lifestyle, festivals and customs, as well as folk belief culture. The Beidi belief is one of the most representative folk beliefs in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. How to correctly understand and develop this common culture is of great strategic significance for enhancing the cultural identity of the three places and promoting the integration and development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
