ABSTRACT Conversion by the Book: Buddhist Print Culture in Early Republican China 經典佛化: 民國初期佛教出版文化 Gregory Adam Scott 史瑞戈 In this dissertation I argue that print culture acted as a catalyst for change among Buddhists in modern China. Through examining major publication institutions, publishing projects, and their managers and contributors from the late nineteenth century to the 1920s, I show that the expansion of the scope and variety of printed works, as well as new the social structures surrounding publishing, substantially impacted the activity of Chinese Buddhists. In doing so I hope to contribute to ongoing discussions of the ‘revival’ of Chinese Buddhism in the modern period, and demonstrate that publishing, propelled by new print technologies and new forms of social organization, was a key field of interaction and communication for religious actors during this era, one that helped make possible the introduction and adoption of new forms of religious thought and practice. 本論文的論點是出版文化在近代中國佛教人物之中,扮演了變化觸媒的角色. 通過研究從十 九世紀末到二十世紀二十年代的主要的出版機構, 種類, 及其主辦人物與提供貢獻者, 論文 說明佛教印刷的多元化 以及範圍的大量擴展, 再加上跟出版有關的社會結構, 對中國佛教 人物的活動都發生了顯著的影響. 此研究顯示在被新印刷技術與新形式的社會結構的推進 下的出版事業, 為該時代的宗教人物展開一種新的相互連結與構通的場域, 因而使新的宗教 思想與實踐的引入成為可能. 此論文試圖對現行關於近代中國佛教的所謂'復興'的討論提出 貢獻.

The singer’s success prompted jewellers to produce a bracelet charm representing the artist in the costume pertaining to her role. The jewel was an immediate success. The mascot, which, in its Provencal form, was thought to bring good or bad luck, thus joined the category of lucky charms.” 1 The first Olympic mascot – which was not official – was named “Schuss” and was created for the Olympic Winter Games Grenoble 1968. A little man on skis, half-way between an object and a person, it was the first manifestation of a long line of mascots which would not stop. It was not until the Olympic Summer Games Munich 1972 that the first official Olympic mascot was created. Since then, mascots have become the most popular and memorable ambassadors of the Olympic Games.

    3rd International Conference on Education, Management, Arts, Economics and Social Science (ICEMAESS 2015) Promotion Mechanism of Ganpo Local Culture’s “Going-out” Strategy Pingrong Tu, Suqin Zhou Yichun University, Yichun, 336000, China Keywords: Ganpo Local Culture, “Going-out” Strategy, Promotion Mechanism Abstract. Ganpo local culture is one shining star among Chinese local culture, which has bred and accumulated profound local culture for Ganpo. These local cultures have also vigorously promoted the development of economic society in Jiangxi. However, Ganpo local culture has not enjoyed high reputation or influence throughout the country at present. To go out, it has been confronted by many problems, including insufficient capital, weak marketization, insufficient governmental supervision and defective cultural innovations. Therefore, to implement the “going-out” strategy of Ganpo local culture, it must vigorously promote the “going-out” strategy, from theses perspectives, respectively are expanding capital investment mechanism, promoting market operation mechanism, improving governmental supervision mechanism, strengthening opening and cooperation mechanism and promoting cultural innovative mechanism. Introduction Jiangxi has a long history, prosperous humanity and profound cultural deposits. As a big agricultural province, Ganpo does not only possess the unique natural resources for agricultural development, but also profound local culture resources. Under the guidance of advocating the loud slogan of creating a powerful cultural province, local culture has manifested its strong vitality to promote the economic development of Jiangxi, as the “soft power” for economic and social development of Ganpo. According to relevant data, there were more than 10000 “agritainment” in Jiangxi in 2012, which promoted 360000 peasants to get jobs; Jiangxi received more than 10 million tourists per year, with a comprehensive revenue of more than 6 billion yuan.
