A building not only carries the creator of effort, but also the past with the future of the historical traditions and humanistic significance. It is not purely construction of artistic expression, even more the witness of the production and development of social groups. Therefore, it is not only the common cultural heritage of mankind, as more equally important to protect these ancient buildings for the promotion of spiritual civilization and local economic development. In recent years, China and other developing countries, which in the pursuit of rapid economic development, are also facing the problems of development and preservation, Especially influenced by the inherent ―reform and innovation‖ traditional concepts, many ancient villages and buildings with rich cultural connotation are in a great danger. Xiang'an is one of the six administrative regions of Xiamen, The Tungyuan village and numerous surrounding villages which in Xiang'an retain a large number of ancient buildings of Ming and Qing Dynasties, but it has not been given due attention, many ancient buildings are facing the crisis of disappearing.

  • 1 INTRODUCTION Accounts of Taiwan and Its History Have Been
    INTRODUCTION Accounts of Taiwan and its history have been profoundly influenced by cultural and political ideologies, which have fluctuated radically over the past four centuries on the island. Small parts of Taiwan were ruled by the Dutch (1624-1662), Spanish (1626-1642), Zheng Chenggong (Koxinga)1 and his heirs (1662-1683), and a large part by Qing Dynasty China (1683-1895). Thereafter, the whole of the island was under Japanese control for half a century (1895-1945), and after World War II, it was taken over by the Republic of China (ROC), being governed for more than four decades by the authoritarian government of Chiang Kai-shek and the Kuomintang (KMT), or Chinese Nationalist Party,2 before democratization began in earnest in the late 1980s. Taiwan’s convoluted history and current troubled relations with the People’s Republic of China (PRC), which claims Taiwan is “a renegade province” of the PRC, has complicated the world’s understanding of Taiwan. Many Western studies of Taiwan, primarily concerning its politics and economic development, have been conducted as an 1 Pinyin is employed in this dissertation as its Mandarin romanization system, though there are exceptions for names of places which have been officially transliterated differently, and for names of people who have been known to Western scholarship in different forms of romanization. In these cases, the more popular forms are used. All Chinese names are presented in the same order as they would appear in Chinese, surname first, given name last, unless the work is published in English, in which case the surname appears last.

  • China Backpacking - Family in Hongkong - Padi & Anh-Dao's Beach Wedding in Australia
    2014 February tototo May - China Backpacking - Family in Hongkong - Padi & Anh-Dao's Beach Wedding in Australia All reports and picture galleries (incl. Padi's and Evi's) can be accessed via www.xelliant.ch Background When we booked our flights on British Airways to Hongkong on 12 th January 2014 we had only one fixed target and date: Gobi's Wedding in Hongkong on 19 th of March. We booked for a period of 6 weeks within which everything else was still open. We could have visited Patrick and family in Perth or do a round trip to Philippines, Malaisia or elsewhere. Since Anh-Dao's mother had just visited them for several weeks and they themselves had plans to visit us in CH the coming summer, we chose finally to go once more backpacking in China. It was winter and so only the South would be a reasonable choice. Peggy had found out about the Hakka Tulou's in Fujian and we had never been in that region - so that was what we then did: a Tulou Walk for 1 week and a roundtrip further into Fujian. While we were in China, Patrick and Anh-Dao decided to get married on a lonely beach in the Australian wilderness at around Easter. We only learned these news when Patrick surprisingly turned up in Hongkong with the kids to attend Gobi's wedding. At that time I was still mentally exhausted from the China trip and so, at first, I could not face another big journey. A week after we had returned home to CH, Peggy felt very sad with the idea to miss out and so we booked almost instantly our flights to Perth...

  • Shanxi Courtyard Dwellings and Hakka Walled Village Zhang
    Shanxi courtyard dwellings and Hakka walled village Zhang Journal of Chinese Architecture and Urbanism 2021 Volume 3 Issue 2: 1-12 Review Article Shanxi Courtyard Dwellings and Hakka Walled Village: A Comparative Study of Wang Family Courtyard and Sam Tung Uk Walled Village Donia Zhang Neoland School of Chinese Culture, Canada Corresponding author: Donia Zhang, 11211 Yonge Street, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada. L4S 0E9. Email: [email protected] Citation: Zhang D, 2021, Shanxi Courtyard Dwellings and Hakka Walled Village: A Comparative Study of Wang Family Courtyard and Sam Tung Uk Walled Village. Journal of Chinese Architecture and Urbanism, 3(2): 1017. http://dx.doi.org/10.36922/jcau.v3i2.1017 ABSTRACT Through a historical research on two well-preserved vernacular Chinese dwellings: The Wang Family Courtyard in Shanxi and the Sam Tung Uk Walled Village in Hong Kong, this paper examines the cultural sustainability of architecture in China, and explores what factors have contributed to their success and decline, and what can be learned from their stories. In doing so, the article employs the analytical framework developed in the author’s previous works, that is, architectural form and space, and social and cultural dimensions of the cases. The findings reveal that ancestor worship was a common practice in the two families, hard work and traditional family values had resulted in their success. The abandonment of traditional values and schooling, coupled with social and military instability in the country, along with urban sprawl, destroyed the family unity and businesses, and ultimately caused the moving. The study has implications for the contemporary world beyond China.
