Conservation in China Issue, Spring 2016

SPRING 2016 CONSERVATION IN CHINA A Note from the Director For over twenty-five years, it has been the Getty Conservation Institute’s great privilege to work with colleagues in China engaged in the conservation of cultural heritage. During this quarter century and more of professional engagement, China has undergone tremendous changes in its social, economic, and cultural life—changes that have included significant advance- ments in the conservation field. In this period of transformation, many Chinese cultural heritage institutions and organizations have striven to establish clear priorities and to engage in significant projects designed to further conservation and management of their nation’s extraordinary cultural resources. We at the GCI have admiration and respect for both the progress and the vision represented in these efforts and are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the preservation of cultural heritage in China. The contents of this edition of Conservation Perspectives are a reflection of our activities in China and of the evolution of policies and methods in the work of Chinese conservation professionals and organizations. The feature article offers Photo: Anna Flavin, GCI a concise view of GCI involvement in several long-term conservation projects in China. Authored by Neville Agnew, Martha Demas, and Lorinda Wong— members of the Institute’s China team—the article describes Institute work at sites across the country, including the Imperial Mountain Resort at Chengde, the Yungang Grottoes, and, most extensively, the Mogao Grottoes. Integrated with much of this work has been our participation in the development of the China Principles, a set of national guide- lines for cultural heritage conservation and management that respect and reflect Chinese traditions and approaches to conservation.

Batto EDITOR'S NOTE Translated from the French original by Jonathan Hall I would particularly like to thank Annie Au-Yeung for her valuable help in preparing this article. 1 To the west of the Pearl River Delta, in villages nestling amid green bamboo and banana groves and surrounded by a patchwork of rice paddies, stand a number of incongruous dark towers bristling with battlements, fearsome fortresses full of arrow slits, and even the occasional elegant turret above an ornate mansion. All these buildings, in the middle of the Chinese countryside, look like faint reflections of a distant West. How did they end up on the banks of the Kaiping rice paddies? 2 Kaiping is situated in south-western Guangdong and, according to official figures, has 1,833 of these buildings or diaolou1, most of which were built in the early twentieth century.

Sustainable Tourism Development---How Sustainable Are China’S Cultural Heritage Sites

SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT---HOW SUSTAINABLE ARE CHINA’S CULTURAL HERITAGE SITES Dan Liao Tourism & Hospitality Department, Kent State University, OH, 44240 E-mail: [email protected] Dr. Philip Wang Kent State University Abstract In many countries around the world, the UNESCO World Heritage sites are major tourist attractions. The purpose of this study is to examine the level of sustainability of 28 cultural heritage sites in the People’s Republic of China. An analysis of the official websites of the –28 heritage sites was conducted using five sustainable development criteria: authenticity, tourists’ understanding of cultural value, commercial development, cooperation with the tourism industry and the quality of life in the community. Results showed most of the tourism destinations did well in authenticity preservation, commercial development and in obtaining economic revenue. For sustainable management of the sites, it was recommended that more attention should be paid to tourists’ understanding, tourism stakeholders’ collaboration and the environment of the community. As such, a triangular relationship is formed with management authorities, commercial enterprises and the community. 1.0 Introduction The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has considered World Heritage Sites in order to safeguard unique and outstanding properties for humankind in three categories: cultural, natural and mixed. Of the 911 sites around the world, 40 are located in People’s Republic of China, including 28 cultural, 8 natural and 4 mixed sites (Unesco.org). Cultural heritage tourism is defined as “visits by persons from outside the host community motivated wholly or in part by interest in historical, artistic, scientific or life style /heritage offerings of a community, region, group or institution” (Silberberg, 1995, p.361).

Tourists Preferences in Visiting Heritage Sites in China

Tourists Preferences in Visiting Heritage Sites in China Abdelhamid Jebbouri ( [email protected] ) Guangzhou University https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6065-0679 Heqing Zhang Guangzhou University Nasser Bouchiba SYSU: Sun Yat-Sen University Research article Keywords: tourism, Chinese cultural tourists, tourist preferences, China, heritage sites, GTPs Posted Date: June 25th, 2021 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-626978/v1 License: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Read Full License Page 1/25 Abstract Tourism is a way of recreation, which involves a person’s travel to another city, country, and even to another continent. Travel is different, and any connoisseur can choose a vacation to their liking: active, educational, wellness, religious, beach, or rural. Tourism helps people escape from everyday problems, learn something new, and get an unforgettable aesthetic satisfaction. Also, such a vacation helps not only to learn the cultures of other countries and peoples but also contributes to the personal development of any traveller. In general, it allows people to combine relaxation with learning new things. However, different tourists have different preferences, so their motivation to visit specic cities, countries, or regions are also different. This study aims to provide tourists in China with an up to date and specic typology based on centricity and experience. Besides, the motive behind the work presented in this paper is to identify the different types of tourists in China, analyse their preferences, and as a result, create their holistic prole. Several studies from China already have information on the factors that inuence this typology.

This study applied enzymatic spectrophotometric methods to identify sucrose and starch contents in traditional Chinese lime- and earth-based mortars. The focus was to understand and evaluate the qualitative detection capacity of enzymatic method in mortars, by first applying the method on a series of lab-prepared mortar specimens with specific amounts of brown sugar and sticky rice addition, then on historic mortar samples suspected to contain brown sugar and sticky rice. The potential contribution and limitations of enzymatic method in analysis of sucrose and starch in mortars was compared with other common available analytical methods. The results suggested that for lab-prepared brown sugar mortar specimens, enzymatic method was more sensitive and exclusive than chemical method, and particularly had higher detection capacity in lime mortars. For simulated mortars with sticky rice addition, enzymatic method showed no distinct detection capacity differences among the studied inorganic binders and comparing with chemical methods was more sensitive in earth-based mortars.
