Red Star Macalline Group Corporation Ltd. 5 Management Discussion and Analysis I. OVERVIEW For the six months ended 30 June 2019 (the “Reporting Period”), Red Star Macalline Group Corporation Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”, “We” or “Our”) continued to focus on the strategic positioning of growing into an “omni-channel platform service provider for the pan home improvement and furnishings industry”, followed the operation and management mode of “market-oriented operation and shopping-mall-based management”, continuously strengthened its cooperation with home improvement and furnishings manufacturers and distributors, and persistently optimized the structure of brands in home improvement and furnishings shopping malls operated by the Group, and further improved the operational management standard of the shopping malls through comprehensive implementation of the “Word of Mouth Advertising” project in order to provide consumers with better services. With all such efforts, the Group obtained satisfactory results. During the Reporting Period, the Group achieved a revenue of RMB7,757.1 million, representing an increase of 21.7% from RMB6,373.9 million for the same period in 2018. Gross profit margin decreased by 2.3 percentage points to 67.0% from 69.3% for the same period of last year.

As at the end of the Reporting Period, the Group’s cash and bank balances amounted to RMB8,340.8 million, representing a decrease of 2.2% from RMB8,527.6 million as at the end of 2018. As at the end of the Reporting Period, the net gearing ratio(Note) of the Group increased to 66.7% from 62.3% as at the end of 2018. Note: Net gearing ratio is interest-bearing liabilities (including short-term loans, long-term loans, bonds payable, financial lease payables and commercial mortgage backed securities payable) less cash and bank balances and then divided by the total equity at the end of each period. During the Reporting Period, we continued to implement the two-pronged business model of Portfolio Shopping Malls and Managed Shopping Malls, with focuses on continuing development of our asset-light business model, and strategically expanded our shopping mall network nationwide in order to further enhance our market share, thereby continuously strengthening our market leadership in China’s home improvement and furnishings industry.

OVERVIEW (continued) The Portfolio Shopping Malls and Managed Shopping Malls that we operated cover 200 cities in 29 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, with a total shopping mall operating area of 19,966,858 sq.m. We continuously improved the operation and management of shopping malls in four aspects, including tenant sourcing management, operational management, marketing management and property management, and proactively made efforts to develop explorative business such as Internet pan home improvement and furnishings consumption business, Internet home decoration business and full-range logistics services. At the same time, the Group has achieved results in the aspects of smart shopping malls, business financial integration, information security and intelligent big data analysis through promoting the comprehensive digital and intelligent works in the information construction. In the future, we will continue to pursue our development goal of becoming the most advanced and professional “omni-channel platform service provider for the pan home improvement and furnishings industry” in China.

  • Protection and Transmission of Chinese Nanyin by Prof
    Protection and Transmission of Chinese Nanyin by Prof. Wang, Yaohua Fujian Normal University, China Intangible cultural heritage is the memory of human historical culture, the root of human culture, the ‘energic origin’ of the spirit of human culture and the footstone for the construction of modern human civilization. Ever since China joined the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2004, it has done a lot not only on cognition but also on action to contribute to the protection and transmission of intangible cultural heritage. Please allow me to expatiate these on the case of Chinese nanyin(南音, southern music). I. The precious multi-values of nanyin decide the necessity of protection and transmission for Chinese nanyin. Nanyin, also known as “nanqu” (南曲), “nanyue” (南乐), “nanguan” (南管), “xianguan” (弦管), is one of the oldest music genres with strong local characteristics. As major musical genre, it prevails in the south of Fujian – both in the cities and countryside of Quanzhou, Xiamen, Zhangzhou – and is also quite popular in Taiwan, Hongkong, Macao and the countries of Southeast Asia inhabited by Chinese immigrants from South Fujian. The music of nanyin is also found in various Fujian local operas such as Liyuan Opera (梨园戏), Gaojia Opera (高甲戏), line-leading puppet show (提线木偶戏), Dacheng Opera (打城戏) and the like, forming an essential part of their vocal melodies and instrumental music. As the intangible cultural heritage, nanyin has such values as follows. I.I. Academic value and historical value Nanyin enjoys a reputation as “a living fossil of the ancient music”, as we can trace its relevance to and inheritance of Chinese ancient music in terms of their musical phenomena and features of musical form.

  • A Chinese Scroll Through Time
    The Newsletter | No.59 | Spring 2012 20 | The Review A Chinese scroll through time The Night Banquet is a tenth century hand scroll attributed to the painter Gu Hongzhong. A well-known statesman Han Xizai [902-970] is the main character, depicted in a number of scenes on this scroll. Han was famous for his parties, as we can read in an imperial painting catalogue from around 1120: “Rumors circulated inside the court and [Southern Tang Emperor Li Yu] regretted not being able to see Han’s famous parties with his own eyes.” The emperor found a solution for his problem, and sent the painter Gu Hongzhong to act as his spy.

  • A Failed Peripheral Hegemonic State with a Limited Mandate of Heaven: Politico-Historical Reflections of a ∗ Survivor of the Southern Tang
    DOI: 10.6503/THJCS.201806_48(2).0002 A Failed Peripheral Hegemonic State with a Limited Mandate of Heaven: Politico-Historical Reflections of a ∗ Survivor of the Southern Tang Li Cho-ying∗∗ Institute of History National Tsing Hua University ABSTRACT This article focuses on the concepts the Diaoji litan 釣磯立談 author, a survivor of the Southern Tang, developed to understand the history of the kingdom. It discusses his historical discourse and shows that one of its purposes was to secure a legitimate place in history for the Southern Tang. The author developed a crucial concept, the “peripheral hegemonic state” 偏霸, to comprehend its history. This concept contains an idea of a limited mandate of heaven, a geopolitical analysis of the Southern Tang situation, and a plan for the kingdom to compete with its rivals for the supreme political authority over all under heaven. With this concept, the Diaoji author implicitly disputes official historiography’s demeaning characterization of the Southern Tang as “pseudo” 偽, and founded upon “usurpation” 僭 and “thievery” 竊. He condemns the second ruler, Li Jing 李璟 (r. 943-961) and several ministers for abandoning the first ruler Li Bian’s 李 (r. 937-943) plan, thereby leading the kingdom astray. The work also stresses the need to recruit authentic Confucians to administer the government. As such, this article argues that the Diaoji should be understood as a politico-historical book of the late tenth century. Key words: Southern Tang, survivor, Diaoji litan 釣磯立談, peripheral hegemonic state, mandate of heaven ∗ The author thanks Professors Charles Hartman, Liang Ken-yao 梁庚堯, and the two anonymous reviewers for their thoughtful comments.

  • The Traditionalist Painter Lu Yanshao (1909-1993) in the 1950S
    COMMUNIST OR CONFUCIAN? THE TRADITIONALIST PAINTER LU YANSHAO (1909-1993) IN THE 1950S THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Yanfei YIN B.A. Graduate Program in History of Art The Ohio State University 2012 Master's Examination Committee: Professor Julia F. Andrews Advisor Professor Christopher A. Reed Copyright by Yanfei YIN 2012 Abstract The establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949 triggered a deluge of artistic challenges for the Chinese ink painter. Lu Yanshao (陸儼少 1909-1993), an artist skilled in poetry, painting and calligraphy, had built his renown on landscape paintings following a traditionalist style. As of 1949, however, Lu began to make figure paintings that adhered to the guidelines established by the Communist Party. Dramatic social and political changes occurred in the 1950s under the new Communist regime. The Anti-Rightist Campaign, launched in 1957, targeted a large number of educated people, including many artists. Lu Yanshao was condemned as a Rightist and was forced to endure four years of continuous labor reform (laodong gaizao 勞動改造) in the countryside before finally ridding himself of the label of Rightist in 1961. Starting in 1957, Lu shifted his focus from making figure paintings for the country’s sake to his personal interest – creating landscape paintings. In 1959, the artist completed the first twenty five leaves of his famous Hundred-Leaf Album after Du Fu’s Poems. The surviving fourteen leaves combined painting, calligraphy and poetry, and are considered to be early paintings of Lu’s mature phase.

  • Teachers' Guide for Painting
    Painting TO THE TEACHER OBJECTIVES OF THIS UNIT: To introduce students to one of the major Chinese arts. To raise questions about what we can infer from paintings about social and material life. To introduce the distinction between court and scholar painting and allow discussion of the emergence of landscape as a major art form. TEACHING STRATEGIES: This unit can be taught as a general introduction to Chinese painting or the two main subsections can be taught independently, depending on whether the teacher is more interested in using painting to teach about other things or wants to discuss painting itself as an art. WHEN TO TEACH: In a chronologically-organized course, Painting should not be used before the Song period, as most of the examples in this unit are from the Song and Yuan dynasties. If both Calligraphy and Painting are used, Calligraphy should precede Painting, as it provides valuable information on social and aesthetic values which informed the study, evaluation, and collecting of both types of works of art. This unit would also be appropriate in a course on Chinese art. http://depts.washington.edu/chinaciv/painting/tptgintr.htm (1 of 3) [11/26/2001 10:59:00 AM] Painting We know from textual and archaeological sources that painting was practiced in China from very early times and in a variety of media. Wall paintings were produced in great numbers in the early period of China's history, but because so little early architecture in China remained intact over the centuries, few of these large-scale paintings have survived.

  • Handler, Austere Luminosity
    Excerpted from ©2001 by the Regents of the University of California. All rights reserved. May not be copied or reused without express written permission of the publisher. click here to BUY THIS BOOK INTRODUCTION A Taste for Austere Luminosity he harmonious simplicity of form and the sheen of polished hardwood endow Chinese classical furniture with an austere luminosity.That light lies on the surface and Tin the wooden heart of the pieces and gives them their plain magnificence. The twentieth century discovered this furniture as art, and this revaluation commanded the attention of private collectors, museums, and scholars. These wood objects, which I perceive as func- tional sculptures, e ectively generated a taste for austere luminosity. Chinese classical furniture, also known as Ming-style furniture, is made from dense hardwoods valued for their grain patterns and natural beauty. The materials, design, and workmanship are of the highest quality. In the twentieth century this furniture was called classical because, as Laurence Sickman pointed out in a 1978 lecture before the Oriental Ceramic Society, its basic structure descends directly from antiquity and possesses the traits of restraint, balance, and grandeur that are associated with a classical style in any medium or culture.1 Classical, in this sense, refers to a style and an aesthetic taste rather than neces- sarily to a particular period. Scholars and connoisseurs have appropriated the epithet clas- sical to accord high esteem to plain hardwood (as opposed to ornate, lacquer, and softwood) furniture. Recently the word vernacular has been adopted to distinguish later softwood fur- niture from classical hardwood pieces.2 In China once a form was created it continued to exist as a viable artistic possibility for later imitation and development.

  • Reevaluating the Traditional Confucian Division Between Mencius and Xunzi
    Journal of chinese humanities 6 (2020) 1–8 brill.com/joch Editor’s Introduction: Reevaluating the Traditional Confucian Division between Mencius and Xunzi Zou Xiaodong 鄒曉東 Associate Professor of Philosophy, Advanced Institute for Confucian Studies, Shandong University, Jinan, China [email protected] Mencius [Mengzi 孟子, c. 372–289 BCE] held the view that human nature is good [xing shan 性善] whereas Xunzi 荀子 [c. 313–238 BCE] believed that human nature is bad [xing e 性惡]. This is clearly recorded and elaborated in the two pre-Qin Confucian classics, the Mencius and the Xunzi. Mencius lived slightly earlier than Xunzi, and by the time Xunzi began expounding and tran- scribing his views, Mencius had probably passed away. However, Mencius and his theory that human nature is good had already become widely influential, and therefore, in advocating the theory that human nature is bad, Xunzi and his followers targeted their criticism at Mencius and his theory. The eminent Confucian Dong Zhongshu 董仲舒 [179–104 BCE], who a few generations later helped establish the Han dynasty [202 BCE–220] ideology, followed the Xunzi’s arguments in criticizing the theory that human nature is good. Dong wrote, “To say that human nature is inherently good is equivalent to claiming that there is no need for people to receive education, that they must merely follow what comes naturally [ziran 自然] to them, even where that means contravening social order.”1 Xunzi and Dong’s arguments deeply influenced other Confucians, which led to a general emphasis on Xunzi and relative disinterest in Mencius from the Han to Tang [618–907] dynasties.
