However, few studies have analysed these diferences or their efect on research. In this study, second-hand neighbourhood housing prices and information on fve online real estate information platforms in Guangzhou, China, were comparatively analysed and the performance of neighbourhoods’ raw information from four for-proft online real estate information platforms was evaluated by applying the same housing price model. Te comparison results show that the ofcial second-hand residential housing prices at city and district level are generally lower than those issued on four for- proft real estate websites.

  • A Survey on Foreign Tourists' English Translation of Guangdong Tourism Images

    A Survey on Foreign Tourists' English Translation of Guangdong Tourism Images

    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, October 2019, Vol. 9, No. 10, 1056-1060 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2019.10.007 D DAVID PUBLISHING A Survey on Foreign Tourists’ English Translation of Guangdong Tourism Images CHEN Ying-xi South China Business College Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, Guangzhou, China Metaphor, constituting culture as well as inheriting one, is a way that human beings perceive the world. The study of cognitive metaphor theory in translation illustrates the process how the people construct psychological images from one culture to another, from one language to another. A survey on Chinese to English translation has been conducted among foreigners to see their intuitive understandings of some Guangdong tourism images. The results found out three different familiarity levels of these tourism images and the English translations from the viewpoint of the foreigners. Translation can be done without understanding the actual meanings, and understanding can occur without being able to translate. Keyword: foreign tourists, Guangdong tourism images, metaphor, translation Introduction In trans-cultural communication, understanding each other refers to understanding different cultures and their experiences. It is important to realize and respect the differences among backgrounds, cultures, values, and so on. We live in a world of metaphor. Metaphorical imagination is a crucial skill when creating tacit agreements and communicating non-shared experiences (Lakoff & Johnson, 2015, p. 202). Metaphor is a linguistic phenomenon, but more importantly, a thinking mode. When doing translations from one culture to another, the factor of cognition should be considered (Chen, 2019, pp. 26-27, 35). Cognitive Metaphor and Translation Metaphor translation converts the literal meanings from one language to another.

Chinese contemporary art is more diverse than you might think. / 34 3 . Museums and galleries have promoted Chinese contemporary art since the 1990s. / 44 4 . Government censorship has been an influence on Chinese artists, and sometimes still is. / 52 5 . The Chinese artists’ diaspora is returning to China. / 64 6 . Contemporary art museums in China are on the rise. / 74 7 . The world is collecting Chinese contemporary art. / 82 Conclusion / 90 Artist Biographies / 98 Further Reading / 110 Introduction 4 Sometimes it seems that scarcely a week goes by without a newspaper or magazine article on the Chinese contemporary art scene. Record-breaking auction prices make good headlines, but they also confer a value on the artworks that few of their makers would have dreamed possible when those works were originally created— sometimes only a few years ago, in other cases a few decades. It is easy to understand the artists’ surprise at their flourishing market and media success: the secondary auction market for Chinese contemporary art emerged only recently, in 2005, when for the first time Christie’s held a designated Asian Contemporary Art sale in its annual Asian art auctions in Hong Kong. The auctions were a success, including the modern and contemporary sales, which brought in $18 million of the $90 million total; auction benchmarks were set for contemporary artists Zhang Huan, Yan Pei-Ming, Yue Minjun, and many others. The following year, Sotheby’s held its first dedicated Asian Contemporary sale in New York.

  • Study of Heritage Conservation in Guangzhou

    Study of Heritage Conservation in Guangzhou Shamian Historic Buildings The Shamian Historic Buildings are a cluster of Western-style buildings constructed by countries such as Britain and France inside the foreign concessions of Guangzhou. These buildings were originally consulates, churches, banks, post offices, telegram offices, firms, hospitals, hotels and residences. The residents at that time were mostly the staff members of the consulates, banks and foreign firms, as well as foreign tax officers and missionaries. The main architectural styles included the British and French colonialist, eclectic and early modernist style. This group of buildings was declared as the first batch of the “National Excellence Modern Building Unit” ( 全國近代優秀建築單位), and was declared a protected site for its historical and cultural value at the national level in 1990 and 1996 respectively. At present these buildings have been progressively adaptively re-used. For instance, the Pallonjee House in South Shamian Street was originally the staff quarters of the Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank, and it is now used as the office of the “Mo Bo-zhi Architectural Firm” (莫伯治建築師事務所).

  • Relocating to Guangzhou

    Relocating to Guangzhou

    The British School of Guangzhou Relocating to Guangzhou Welcome to one of the most populous, energetic and rapidly growing places in China. Estimated to have a population of about 16 million, Guangzhou is a thriving hub where people from all corners of the world converge for everything from business to pleasure. Under the flashy surface of this modern metropolis, lies a rich cultural tradition and a history that spans more than 2200 years. With so much on offer, it is no wonder that families are now choosing to call this city home. Many of our families say that moving to Guangzhou has been one of the most rewarding and fascinating decisions that they have made. If you’re in the midst of considering the big move, here is some handy information that will help you with your decision. Residential Options The majority of expats reside in Tianhe, the most developed downtown area. Several commercial buildings such as Center Plaza (P&G Headquarters), Teem Tower, Citic Plaza and China Shine are located here. This eastern district is also convenient for its proximity to bus, subway and rail links to Guangzhou and the rest of China. Grandview Mall and Teem Mall provide endless shopping options for families. Tianhe is home to several expat-friendly compounds such as Fraser Suites, Regal Court, Hilton Sunshine, Greenery, Favorview Palace, Concordia, Castle Peak and Citic Apartments, and luxury five star hotels like the Sheraton, Sofitel and Westin. Zhujiang New Town, a newer and pricier area that is also part of Tianhe District, is home to the city’s tallest buildings and several shopping malls such as GT Land and Happy Valley.
