In the Sichuan province, livelihood security and social development are particularly sensitive to changes in the sloping farmland, due to the region’s large portion of hilly territory and its over-dense population. In this study, we focused on spatiotemporal change of the sloping farmland and its driving forces in the Sichuan province. Sloping farmland areas were extracted from geographic data from digital elevation model (DEM) and land use maps, and the driving forces of the spatiotemporal change were analyzed using a principal component analysis (PCA). The results indicated that, from 2000 to 2015, sloping farmland decreased by 3263 km2 in the Sichuan province. The area of gently sloping farmland (<10◦) decreased dramatically by 1467 km2, especially in the capital city, Chengdu, and its surrounding areas. -

It was recognized as member of the Global Geoparks Network in February 2008 and revalidated in December 2012. After the Administration for Zigong UNESCO Global Geopark submitted an extension application to UNESCO in November 2015, a new geopark territory was approved, which is 2720% larger than the area initially defined. More geological heritage as well as natural and cultural heritage has been included in and the increased number of communities of the territory is actively involved in the management and development of the geopark. Zigong UNESCO Global Geopark cooperates with those communities as to encourage geotourism with the help of inspiring local enterprises, creating new jobs and offering high quality training courses. The connection between Zigong UNESCO Global Geopark and communities have been gradually improved. So far, it has been proved that the geopark could not only support local sustainable development but also help local people to acquire earth knowledge as well as to improve their lives. 1 INTRODUCTION However, as stated by the Statutes of the International Geoscience and Geopark Programme Zigong UNESCO Global Geopark (UGGp) is (IGGP) and the Operational Guidelines for located in Zigong Municipal City, Sichuan Province, UNESCO Global Geoparks (UNESCO, 2016), Southwest of China. -

Origin Narratives: Reading and Reverence in Late-Ming China
Origin Narratives: Reading and Reverence in Late-Ming China Noga Ganany Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Noga Ganany All rights reserved ABSTRACT Origin Narratives: Reading and Reverence in Late Ming China Noga Ganany In this dissertation, I examine a genre of commercially-published, illustrated hagiographical books. Recounting the life stories of some of China’s most beloved cultural icons, from Confucius to Guanyin, I term these hagiographical books “origin narratives” (chushen zhuan 出身傳). Weaving a plethora of legends and ritual traditions into the new “vernacular” xiaoshuo format, origin narratives offered comprehensive portrayals of gods, sages, and immortals in narrative form, and were marketed to a general, lay readership. Their narratives were often accompanied by additional materials (or “paratexts”), such as worship manuals, advertisements for temples, and messages from the gods themselves, that reveal the intimate connection of these books to contemporaneous cultic reverence of their protagonists. The content and composition of origin narratives reflect the extensive range of possibilities of late-Ming xiaoshuo narrative writing, challenging our understanding of reading. I argue that origin narratives functioned as entertaining and informative encyclopedic sourcebooks that consolidated all knowledge about their protagonists, from their hagiographies to their ritual traditions. Origin narratives also alert us to the hagiographical substrate in late-imperial literature and religious practice, wherein widely-revered figures played multiple roles in the culture. The reverence of these cultural icons was constructed through the relationship between what I call the Three Ps: their personas (and life stories), the practices surrounding their lore, and the places associated with them (or “sacred geographies”). -

Research on the Xishu Garden Based on Landscape Identity
2018 International Conference on Culture, Literature, Arts & Humanities (ICCLAH 2018) Research on the Xishu Garden Based on Landscape Identity Dan Wu Chengdu Art Vocational College, Chengdu, Sichuan, 611430, China Keywords: Xishu Garden, Landscape identity, West Sichuan towns Abstract: Xishu Garden is a regional garden located in Sichuan, China, which is an integral part of Chinese garden system. Landscape identity is a problem about the definition and recognition of Xishu Garden's regional style. This paper studied the connotation of landscape identity, Xishu Garden, West Sichuan towns, western Sichuan customs and so on under the landscape scale vision to make a preliminary analysis of the research ideas of Xishu Garden landscape identity. 1. Introduction Sichuan's Humanistic Historical process is unique and complex. Xishu Garden's landscape identification should be regarded as a subject of environmental history. In 1450, Alberti, the first western garden theorist, regarded the relationship between environment and house, which is the relationship between environment and the viewer in it, as the basis of landscape recognition. Therefore, the study of Xishu Garden should be based on the whole human settlement space system, such as Sichuan's natural geography, ecological stage and immigrants from Sichuan, that is, the great vision of Sichuan's urban history. 2. The Connotation of Landscape Identity In Chinese, as to the word scenery, most people tend to appreciate the meaning of leisure. The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the significance of landscape as a social, economic, political and cultural carrier. Like the garden culture of ancient and modern times, the visual reproduction and semantic reproduction of the landscape will make the silent landscape image spread, sound and express the landscape identity of a place. -
