Spring Festival, also known as Chinese New Year, is the most jubilant time of the year for Chinese people. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, it marks the arrival of a new year with a farewell to cold and monotonous winter and a welcome to vigor- ous spring. Traditional celebration activities last about a month. Among them, hanging lanterns is an indispensable custom. For Chinese people, red lanterns symbolize family reunion and prosperity as well as happiness, completeness, and wealth. VCG 04 VOLUME 872 January 31, 2021: A folk calligrapher writes Spring Festival couplets at the local market in Nanning, capital of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Hanging Spring Festival couplets and the Chinese character “Fu” (meaning “good fortune”) is an important custom for Spring Festival celebrations. They symbolize wishes for the new year with neat, concise words and serve as a prayer to ward off evils and promote good luck in the new year. People paste the paper scripts on the doors of their homes at the beginning of the Spring Festival holiday. VCG CHINA PICTORIAL 05 EXPRESS January 14, 2021: A traditional craftsperson adjusts a puppet in Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province. Puppet shows are a traditional Spring Festival folk custom in Jiangsu Province that dates back more than 2,000 years. Performers use seven to 14 silk threads to control different parts of the puppet’s body while singing along. Most performances take place during Spring Festival and other traditional festi- vals as a way to ask the gods and their ancestors for blessings. In 2006, puppet shows became part of the first group of additions to China’s National Intangible Cultural Heritage List. VCG 06 VOLUME 872 January 31, 2021: The “Bubu cake” made by local villagers in Yangxin County, Binzhou City, Shandong Province. The multi-layer cake is gradually superimposed into a “tower” shape, implying “rising step by step.” Food is one of the most important festival totems for Chinese people. Their devotion to food can still be clearly seen in popular Spring Festival customs. Support from the global market and inter- net has helped food ingredients and dishes travel the world, enabling different regional tastes to fuse and integrate with each other and stir up new Chinese flavors on Spring Festival tables. VCG CHINA PICTORIAL 07 EXPRESS January 31, 2021: Customers shop for orchids at the Huangtougang flower market in Fengtai District, Beijing. A Spring Festival custom involves decorating rooms with various kinds of flowers to create a festive atmosphere. Such flowers are called nianxiao (meaning “New Year’s Eve”) flowers. Orchids, hollies, and white willows are all popular as nianxiao flowers. China’s Guangdong Province has a tradition of celebrat- ing the Lunar New Year by roaming flower markets. Visiting the annual Spring Festival flower market is the most popular tradi- tional folk activity on the eve of Spring Festival. VCG 08 VOLUME 872 January 2, 2021: A “Huolong Ganghua” (dragon dance with steel flowers) performance is staged at the Jiuzhou Pool Scenic Area in Luoyang City, Henan Province. Molten iron as hot as 1,500 degrees Celsius was thrown into the sky and splashed in all directions like fiery flowers. Shirtless dragon dancers shuttled under the “flowers” of molten iron. Chinese people empha- size good luck during celebrations of Spring Festival with hopes for a prosperous year. Huolong Ganghua has long been a traditional Spring Festival folk activity in Tongliang District, Chongqing. It is reputed “the best dragon dance in China” as one of China’s first National Intangible Cultural Heritage items.

This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/ircs_reports/114 For more information, please contact [email protected]. Quantification and Predication in Mandarin Chinese: A Case Study of Dou Abstract In the more recent generalized quantifier theory, 'every' is defined as a elationr between two sets such that the first set is a subset of the second set (Cooper (1987), anv Benthem (1986)). We argue in this dissertation that the formal definition of e' very' ought to reflect our intuition that this quantifier is always associated with a pairing. For instance, 'Every student left' means that for every student there is an event (Davidson (1966), Kroch (1974), Mourelatos (1978), Bach (1986)) such that the student left in that event. We propose that the formal translation of EVERY be augmented by relating its two arguments via a skolem function. A skolem function links two variables by making the choice of a value for one variable depend on the choice of a value for the other. This definition of EVERY, after which 'every' and its Chinese counterpart 'mei' can be modeled, can help us explain the co-occurrence pattern between 'mei' and the adverb 'dou'.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: August 22, 2018 Accepted: September 18, 2018 Online Published: September 21, 2018 doi: 10.5539/elt.v11n10p121 URL: http://doi.org/10.5539/elt.v11n10p121 Abstract This paper analyzes a promotional video of the Chinese city of Hangzhou from the perspective of multimodal discourse analysis informed by Systemic Functional Linguistics. By drawing on Visual Grammar as well as frameworks of intersemiotic complementarity, the paper examines how various semiotic resources, namely, the visual, audio and verbal, construe meanings and how they work together to create synergy in the video. It is concluded that the deployment of various modes in this dynamic discourse contribute to constructing city images that are glorious in history, unique in culture, picturesque in landscapes, innovative in spirits, vital in city life, and beautiful in people’s hearts. The video also proves to be effective in engaging and aligning the viewers, thus functioning as a vital tool to market the city. It is hoped that this paper will provide a new perspective for semiotic studies of promotional videos in China. Keywords: multimodal discourse analysis, systemic functional grammar, promotional video, Hangzhou 1. Introduction The advent of digital media has triggered a new trend of information dissemination and communication.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY 4.0). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Yue Opera, the second-largest opera in China, is also known as “the most widely spread local opera genre in China”. It is called “Chinese Opera” abroad. The overseas dissemination of Yue Opera has extremely far-reaching significance for displaying traditional Chinese culture, telling Chinese stories well, and building cultural confidence. Based on combing the status quo of overseas communication of Yue Opera in different stages, the paper analyzes the currently existing problems, and then, under the guidance of Lasswell’s Model of Communication, discusses cross-cultural communication strategies of Yue Opera from five aspects, namely “who”, “says what”, “in which channel”, “to whom” and “with what effect”. Keywords: Cross-cultural Communication Strategies, Yue Opera, Lasswell’s Model of Communication 1. Introduction 1.1. Background of the Study As a unique type of drama originating in Zhejiang, Yue Opera has strong local characteristics.

Although the status of the art and performers has been long controversial, the most significant factor that determines the destiny of traditional Chinese opera is actually the vitality of its market. My thesis seeks to tackle the role of market and audience participation in different stages of the development of Peking Opera, delineating the tripartite relationship between political interference, audience participation, and technological development. Within Henry Jenkins’ theoretical framework of media convergence, I investigate collective intelligence, participatory culture, and contemporary fan culture vis-à-vis digital media that has been contextualized in traditional Chinese opera and its economic impact.

    Beyond the Western Pass: Emotions and Songs of Separation in Northern China Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Levi Samuel Gibbs Graduate Program in East Asian Languages and Literatures The Ohio State University 2009 Thesis Committee: Mark A. Bender, Advisor Meow Hui Goh Copyright by Levi Samuel Gibbs ©2009 ABSTRACT For several centuries, men in parts of northern China, driven by poverty and frequent droughts, were forced to journey beyond the Great Wall to find means of sustenance in Inner Mongolia. Over time, a song tradition arose dealing with the separation of these men from their loved ones. This study examines how various themes and metaphorical images in the lyrics of folksongs and local opera-like performances about “going beyond the Western Pass” (zou xikou !"#) reflect aspects of folk models of danger and emotional attachment. It also looks at how the artistic expression of these folk models may have helped people to better cope with the separation involved in this difficult social phenomenon.
