  • A Comparative Study of Livestock's Name Between Ancient And
    US-China Foreign Language, ISSN 1539-8080 September 2014, Vol. 12, No. 9, 728-735 D DAVID PUBLISHING A Comparative Study of Livestock’s Name Between Ancient and Modern Yi Language of China∗ YANG Liu-jin Honghe University, Mengzi City, China The traditional pronunciations of domestic animal lexemes recorded in ancient Nisu(Yi) manuscripts differ significantly from the vernacular pronunciations of their modern counterparts. Thus, in the process of translating such texts, when a translator substitutes modern Nisu for ancient Nisu, not only can many of the characteristics of the original text be lost, but the original meaning may also be completely modified. Currently a number of specialists and scholars, both in China and elsewhere, are familiar with modern Nisu but have no such familiarity with the language’s ancient forms. The paper grants Nisu researchers a better grasp of the differences between the language’s ancient and modern forms in order to help others avoid mistakes in translating ancient Nisu manuscripts. This is accomplished through a brief comparative analysis of Nisu names for livestock and fowl—then and now. Keywords: Yi Language, livestock, name Introduction Nisu is a Tibet-Burman language of the Ngwi branch which has been officially classified as an ethnic linguistic sub-branch of the Yi nationality in China. The Nisu retain use of their language in both spoken and written forms. The current population of the official Yi nationality stands at 7,776,230 (PCPC, 2002) and is distributed through Yunnan, Sichuan, Guangxi, and Guizhou Provinces. Traditionally, in China, the languages spoken by the Yi nationality have been divided into six major dialect regions: Northern, Eastern, Southern, Western, Central, and Southeastern (YYJS, 1987, pp.

  • Understanding Travelers' Behavior for Sustainable Smart Tourism: a Technology Readiness Perspective

The challenges travelers face while using smart devices have not been researched in detail and are relatively unknown. While most studies have considered the usefulness of smart devices in tourism, negative perceptions of smart tourism have rarely been discussed. Thus, this study investigates travelers’ risk perceptions of smart tourism from a technology readiness perspective. It examines the impact of optimism, innovativeness, insecurity, and discomfort on travelers’ usage intentions of smart devices through their perceived risks and benefits. To test the proposed model and corresponding hypotheses, a partial least squares analysis was performed on data collected from 250 survey respondents. The results showed that the perceived benefits of smart devices had a significant effect on usage intentions of smart devices while traveling. It was also confirmed that the influence of perceived risks depends on the characteristics of travelers.

Moreover cities around the world are increasingly recognizing the smart tourism city concept and related strategies as means of optimizing sustainable environments. Particularly for cities facing emerging issues of residents’ negative perceptions towards tourism, smart tourism city empowers a city to rise to this challenge by creating urban spaces that residents and visitors can enjoy together. However, smart tourism city research initiatives still fail to address the full spectrum of related and potential developments. This study presents a conceptual approach to defining smart tourism city: the smart city and its components are defined and contrasted with smart tourism and its components. The resulting convergence—smart tourism city—is then examined in light of a number of pioneering examples of smart tourism cities and its vital roles in the age of sustainable development. The main purpose of this study is to show the interests of locals and tourists context and the roles of ‘smart’ government leadership to researchers and practitioners.

    ONE UNIVERSITY ONE VILLAGE 一專一村 1U1V Newsletter, Volume 3, August 2018 “One University One Village” International Earth Building Festival @Kunming The first International Earth Building Festival, jointly organized by the 1U1V team of The Chinese University of Hong Kong and Faculty of Architecture and City Planning, Kunming University of Science and Technology, came to a close on June 26, 2018. The event lasted for eight days. It was attended by a total of 24 participants from various countries, such as Canada, Japan, USA, Inner Mongolia and Ningxia. During the event, the 1U1V team invited two French specialists in earth construction— Mr. Marc Auzet and Ms. Juliette Goudy— and Prof. Bai Wenfeng, who specializes in the seismic performance study of building structures at Kunming University of Science and Technology, to provide professional guidance. This Festival covered three aspects: rammed-earth construction materials, rammed-earth construction technology and the practice of earth construction. It aims to provide an opportunity for participants to get close to the construction site of an earth building and deepen their understanding of the material and method. The process is both intelligently and physically challenging. Apart from attending lectures about soil and visiting traditional earth building villages, the participants also learnt about the construction condition of the 1U1V Earth Building Research Centre. Furthermore, they were taught to distinguish soil composition, test it, make adobe bricks with different proportions, and build self-design structures (including partition walls, bars and seats) with clay of different properties. Participants have shown their endurance to hardship through their sweat. Due to rain, some activities were held indoors.
