Lecture: Addendum 1A: Freer Medal Acceptance Address On November 18, 2010, I was in Washington DC at the Freer Gallery of Art, where I started out my career as a Chinese art specialist sixty years ago. This time it was to receive the Charles Lang Freer Medal, which is given intermittently since 1956 to honor notable scholars of Asian art. Photo: James Cahill and Julian Raby, director of the Freer I will be the twelfth recipient, the sixth for Chinese art. The ones in Chinese art before me begin with Osvald Siren, someone I have a great admiration for. But the others are my teachers and my heroes: Laurence Sickman, Max Loehr, Alexander Soper, and Sherman Lee.

  • Revive the Spirit of the Forbidden City by VR Technology
    Revive the Spirit of the Forbidden City by VR Technology Su Yi VR section of Information Department, The Palace Museum, 4 Jingshan Qianjie Beijing 100009, China [email protected] Abstract. As the most famous heritage site of China, the Forbidden City not only represent masterpieces in the development imperial palace architecture, but also carry profound cultural information and evidence to the living traditions and the customs of Han and Manchu, which was considered as the spirit of the place. But today the historic and cultural information of the Forbidden City has lost a lot due to the deteriorated environment. In recent years, the excessive tourism with approximately 10 million visitors per year has obviously threatened the historic buildings and the landscape too. In order to preserving the site, people have to be kept away from some buildings, thus the true spirit of the place could not be understood well. This paper intent to introduce what we have done with virtual reality technology, discussing whether we could help people to access and understand the heritage sites much better by VR without any destruction. 1. What is the spirit of the Forbidden City? 1.1 THE SPIRIT COMES FROM THE NATURE In ancient China, there was a momentous conception called the “Harmony between the Heaven and Human”. It showed respect to the nature. People thought everything should be done in the light of the “Rules” of the nature. Therefore the imperial palace also built according to some “Rules” of the nature, reflecting the theory of “Harmony between the Heaven and Human”.

By studying the historical development of the Holocaust and other examples of genocide, students make the essential connection between history and the moral choices they confront in their own lives. For more information about Facing History and Ourselves, please visit our website at www.facinghistory.org. The front cover illustration is a section from a propaganda poster created during the beginning of the Cultural Revolution (1966–1968), the same years Ji-li describes in her memoir. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China 1949, government and party officials used mass- produced posters as a way to promote nationalism and convey the values of the Communist Party. Propaganda posters were especially important during the Cultural Revolution, and this poster represents many dominant themes of this media: the glorification of Mao, the color red symbolizing China and the Chinese Communist Party, and the depiction of youth as foot-soldiers for the revolution. The slogan on the poster expresses a popular anthem of the era: Chairman Mao is the Reddest Reddest Red Sun in Our Hearts.

  • 3607 Erligang [BMF 9-26].Indd 11 1/2/14 9:52 AM Its Subsequent Excavation by Li Ji in the 1930S Shaped Interpretations of the Origin of Civilization in China
    Preface when i began to organize the conference that led to this volume, one of my first tasks was to design a mission statement that would explain to participants and to our general audience what the conference would be about and what we hoped to accomplish. The goals it sets forth are shared by this book: Named after a type site discovered in Zhengzhou in 1951, the Erligang civ- ilization arose in the Yellow River valley around the middle of the second millennium bce. Shortly thereafter, its distinctive elite material culture spread to a large part of China’s Central Plain, in the south reaching as far as the banks of the Yangzi River. Source of most of the cultural achieve- ments familiarly associated with the more famous Anyang site, the Erli- gang culture is best known for the Zhengzhou remains, a smaller city at Panlongcheng in Hubei, and a large- scale bronze industry of remarkable artistic and technological sophistication. Bronzes are the hallmark of Erli- gang elite material culture. They are also the archaeologist’s main evidence for understanding the transmission of bronze metallurgy to the cultures of southern China. This conference brings together scholars from a variety of disciplines to explore what is known about the Erligang culture and its art, its spectacular bronze industry in particular. Participants will ask how the Erligang artistic and technological tradition was formed and how we should understand its legacy to the later cultures of north and south China. Comparison with other ancient civilizations will afford an important perspective. To the goals stated above may be added one more—to bring the Erligang civili- zation to the attention of a wider audience.

  • The Human Face of Early Modern Astronomy in China Richard De Grijs
    The human face of early modern astronomy in China Richard de Grijs (何锐思) (Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics, Peking University) Ask anyone in a Western country what they know about Chinese astronomy, and the chances are that you may not get an answer or – at best – a reference to Chinese “record keeping” (in ancient times, Chinese astronomers at the imperial courts collected very complete records of celestial phenomena, such as solar and lunar eclipses) or the discovery of a “supernova” explosion (an exploding massive star) in 1054, which was visible with the naked eye for about 2 years (this was independently discovered by Arab astronomers). Yet, there is so much more to the early days of modern science in China. While in Europe new ideas were suppressed by the church (think of Giordano Bruno’s ideas of an infinite Universe, and also of Galileo Galilei), Chinese science made rapid advances. The early history of modern science in the far East is replete with fascinating personalities, politics and discoveries. This is poorly known internationally – certainly not to the “general public” – except to a handful of dedicated scholars, yet it is a story of discovery and perseverance worth telling. Chinese astronomers have observed, recorded and interpreted celestial events since ancient times, as far back as the 13th century BCE. Making astrological/astronomical predictions (which were linked at early times, just like in Europe) was the purview of Emperors and advisors. In the 16th century AD, China was of great interest to Europeans. The arrival of the Jesuit (Catholic) missionaries opened a cultural window that permitted Europeans the first truly accurate accounts of the Chinese empire, and introduced to the Chinese things that were new, and things that were not really new, but had been forgotten.

  • A Study on Consumers' Preferences for the Palace Museum's Cultural
    sustainability Article A Study on Consumers’ Preferences for the Palace Museum’s Cultural and Creative Products from the Perspective of Cultural Sustainability Jui-Che Tu 1, Li-Xia Liu 1,2 and Yang Cui 3,* 1 Graduate School of Design, National Yunlin University of Science and Technology, Yunlin 64002, Taiwan; [email protected] (J.-C.T.); [email protected] (L.-X.L.) 2 College of Arts, Beijing Union University, Beijing 100101, China 3 School of Art and Communication, Beijing Technology and Business University, Beijing 100048, China * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 24 April 2019; Accepted: 14 June 2019; Published: 26 June 2019 Abstract: In recent years, the development and design of the cultural and creative products of the Palace Museum in Beijing have become a hot topic in the product design field. Many critics have pointed out that cultural and creative products have failed to faithfully convey the implied meanings of the cultural stories of the Palace Museum. To effectively narrow the cognitive gap between designers and consumers, designers must urgently clarify the relationship between different design attributes and consumer preferences. The questionnaires were used to obtain data from 297 subjects. Through SPSS statistical software, the results were analyzed by descriptive statistics, explore factor analysis (EFA), independent sample t-test, and ANOVA to explore consumers’ attitudes and preferences on the Palace Museum’s cultural and creative products. The results showed that consumers attach great importance to factors such as “cultural connotation” and “unique creativity” when choosing the Palace Museum’s cultural and creative products. The consumer in different genders had significant differences in the design factors of the Palace Museum’s cultural and creative products.
