  • Analysis of Character Convergence of Jiangnan Ancient Towns Lei Yunyao , Zhang Qiongfang
    International Forum on Management, Education and Information Technology Application (IFMEITA 2016) Analysis of Character Convergence of Jiangnan Ancient Towns Lei Yunyao1, a, Zhang Qiongfang 1,b 1 Wuchang Shouyi University, Wuhan 430064 China [email protected], b [email protected] Key Words:Jiangnan Ancient Towns; Character convergence; Analysis Abstract:This article illustrates the representation of character convergence of Jiangnan Ancient Towns. It analyzes the formation mechanism of character convergence to build the whole image of these ancient towns with Zhouzhuang as a prototype. Based on Tourism Geography Theory and Regional Linkage Theory, it puts forward the fact that the character convergence can be beneficial to building a whole tourism image and to enhancing people’s awareness of ancient heritage. But some problems caused by the convergence will also be presented, such as the identical tourism development model, the backward infrastructure and the destruction of original ecology. Introduction With Taihu Lake as the center, the region of Jiangnan, the south of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, is scattered all over by many historic ancient towns. These towns have a long history and deep cultural deposit. They are densely occupied and economically developed. They form a national transport network combined with inland waterway. These towns have witnessed a long-term economic prosperity in the south of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and are now generally called “Jiangnan Ancient Towns”. Since 1980s, under the wave of reform, opening up and modernization construction, experience-based tourism and leisure tourism of these towns have achieved great development. Under the influence of “China's First Water Town” Zhouzhuang, some other similar towns like Tongli, Luzhi, Xitang, Nanxun, Wuzhen all choose to follow suit.

  • Between Tradition and Modernity: Wuzhen and China's Soft Power in the 21St Century
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, November 2017, Vol. 7, No. 11, 1457-1477 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2017.11.009 D DAVID PUBLISHING Between Tradition and Modernity: Wuzhen and China’s Soft Power in the 21st Century LIN Mao History Department Georgia Southern University, U.S.A. In recent years, Wuzhen, a Ming-Qing style water town located south of the Yangtze River, has quickly become one of the most popular tourist destinations in China. The success of Wuzhen was so influential that the term “Wuzhen Model” quickly became a buzzword in Chinese economic and cultural discourses. Promoters of Wuzhen have claimed that it embodies both tradition and modernity, therefore representing the best of China. While Wuzhen was first reconstructed as a “living museum” of Chinese cultural tradition to attract tourists, it increasingly started to claim itself as a leading “smart town” for China’s future development. Moreover, the so-called Wuzhen Model fits seamlessly into China’s overall strategy of projecting its soft power both domestically and abroad. The purpose of this paper is to examine how Wuzhen was culturally constructed and how it helped to project China’s soft power. It also examines how Wuzhen was perceived abroad, focusing primarily on major English-speaking countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, to understand its impact on China’s soft power. Keywords: Wuzhen; Chinese soft power; tourism; modernity; Chinese foreign policy “Wuzhen, an ancient small Chinese town with thousands of years of history, once again came into the limelight of the world.” People’s Daily, the biggest newspaper group in China and the paramount official newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) proudly announced the opening of the Third World Internet Conference (WIC) in November 2016.1 The conference, jointly sponsored by the Cyberspace Administration of the People’s Republic of China and the Zhejiang Provincial Government, first started in 2014 and chose Wuzhen as its permanent site.

  • Urban Heritage Conservation of China's Historic Water Towns And
    heritage Article Urban Heritage Conservation of China’s Historic Water Towns and the Role of Professor Ruan Yisan: Nanxun, Tongli, and Wuzhen Heleni Porfyriou Department of Social Sciences and Humanities, Cultural Heritage, CNR - National Research Council of Italy, 00186 Rome, Italy; [email protected] Received: 23 June 2019; Accepted: 10 August 2019; Published: 13 August 2019 Abstract: Between the 13th and the 19th century, hundreds of water towns flourished in China along the Grand Canal and to the south of the Yangtze river, the latter being the focus of this paper. Despite their long history, water towns still lack a comprehensive account of their urban history and development, yet they have become world famous as tourist destinations. Initially branded under titles such as the “Venice of the East” or the “Venice of China”, they are visited nowadays, for their own sake and not as surrogates of Venice, by millions of Chinese tourists. Focusing on the urban form and heritage of the three historic water towns of Nanxun, Tongli and Wuzhen, and on their conservation planning as promoted by Professor Ruan Yisan since the mid-1980s, the aim of this paper is twofold. On one hand, the aim is to identify and examine, through personal observation and secondary sources, the urban patterns and morphology of these places; on the other hand, to explore through his publications the impact of Professor Ruan Yisan—a (if not the) key figure—in their conservation and tourist development. The paper’s broader aim is to contribute to a more systematic analytical approach towards the urban form of Chinese historic water towns as a basis for further research and heritage conservation planning.
