  • Physichochemical and Low Stress Mechanical Properties of Silk Fabrics Degummed by Enzymes
    Chapter 9 Physichochemical and Low Stress Mechanical Properties of Silk Fabrics Degummed by Enzymes Styliani Kalantzi, Diomi Mamma and Dimitris Kekos Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/53730 1. Introduction 1.1. The silk road Sericulture or silk production has a long and colorful history unknown to most people. For centuries the West knew very little about silk and the people who made it. For more than two thousand years the Chinese kept the secret of silk altogether to themselves. It was the most zealously guarded secret in history. According to Chinese tradition, the history of silk begins in the 27th century BCE. Its use was confined to China until the Silk Road opened at some point during the latter half of the first millennium BCE. The writings of Confucius and Chinese tradition recount that in the 27th century BCE a silk worm's cocoon fell into the tea cup of the empress Leizu. Wishing to extract it from her drink, the young girl of fourteen began to unroll the thread of the cocoon. She then had the idea to weave it. Having observed the life of the silk worm on the recommenda‐ tion of her husband, the Yellow Emperor, she began to instruct her entourage the art of raising silk worms, sericulture. From this point on, the girl became the goddess of silk in Chinese mythology [1]. Though silk was exported to foreign countries in great amounts, sericulture remained a se‐ cret that the Chinese guarded carefully. Consequently, other peoples invented wildly vary‐ ing accounts of the source of the incredible fabric.

  • Banks, and Therefore Their History to Some Degree Reflects the Achievements and Destines of Typical Chinese Merchants at the Time
    Powerful informal institutional arrangements in a weak legal environment: A study of the governance structure in the Chinese Shanxi piaohao Abstract1 Shanxi piaohao, arguably are the most important Chinese indigenous financial institutions in Chinese economic history, emerged in one particular province. In a weak legal environment to protect shareholders’ capital, these Shanxi piaohao developed a unique governance structure to discipline and incentivise far flung employees. During their existence, the piaohao dominated the Chinese domestic remittance market for decades and made a great contribution to the economy. However, as with their expansion and together with the external business environment became more unpredictable, the piaohao’s governance structure began malfunctioning. Concentrating on their management and incentive mechanism, this paper explores how the piaohao successfully governed their distant employees at first but failed to manage their employees and innovate their governance structure as they developed. In 1823, in a small town in Shanxi, there emerged a firm named Rishengchang. For the first time we see a firm naming itself a piaohao [票号], which means a business enterprise [hao 号] that specialises in transmitting drafts [piao 票]. Following this, a group of piaohao sprang up in three towns in the same province, Pingyao, Qixian and Taigu, which quickly opened branches all over China. As China’s first financial intermediaries specialising in remittances, these Shanxi piaohao for decades played an important role in the Chinese financial market. However, almost a hundred years after they set up, their whole system collapsed and the piaohao disappeared from history. During their existence, the Shanxi piaohao made a great contribution to the Chinese economy.

  • Challenges for the Promotion and Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Central and Eastern Europe Under the Belt and Road Initiative
    Asian Social Science; Vol. 16, No. 1; 2020 ISSN 1911-2017 E-ISSN 1911-2025 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Challenges for the Promotion and Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Central and Eastern Europe Under the Belt and Road Initiative Feifei Xue1, Xiaoyong He1, Wenzhi Hao1, Jiajia Qin1 & Jiaxu Chen1 1 Formula-pattern Research Center, School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Jinan University, Guangzhou, China Correspondence: Jiaxu Chen. E-mail: [email protected] Received: October 21, 2019 Accepted: November 19, 2019 Online Published: December 31, 2019 doi:10.5539/ass.v16n1p35 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/ass.v16n1p35 This work was supported by the Department of International Cooperation and Exchanges of Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China under Grant number 2059999. Abstract Along with the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is increasingly used and attracts more interest in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). As an important bridge between different cultures, translation plays a major role in promoting TCM in CEE. However, there are some problems in the translation process hindering further promotion of TCM theories and culture in CEE. First of all, the English translations of TCM classics and textbooks lack universally accepted standards, and the quality of TCM text translation is low. Secondly, TCM translators lack sufficient training in TCM knowledge. Also, the translation of TCM materials lacks cultural connotation. Through analyzing the current problems of TCM translation in CEE, this study proposed three suggestions: strengthening the exchange between the government and experts, regulating the translation of TCM textbooks, and strengthening the training of TCM translators.

  • Ri Sheng Chang
    Case Study #1 Revised November 2019 The Birth Of The Modern Chinese Banking Industry: Ri Sheng Chang Introduction Pingyao (平遥) is a remote place for a tourist attraction. Located in the centre of Shanxi province, it is some 380 miles from Beijing and further from Shanghai or Hong Kong where the tourists tend to congregate. Yet, despite the isolation, come they do to Pingyao. The nearest airport to Pingyao is in Tiayuan, over one hundred kilometres away, so most visitors arrive by coach or by train; along the poorly paved streets and past the decaying houses until they arrive in the middle of the city. Here the tourists disembark from their coaches and their trains and find themselves transported to the days of the Qing dynasty emperors, surrounded by imperial architecture. The tourists wander slowly towards West Street. This is the home of the most popular attraction: the headquarters of Ri Sheng Chang (日昇), a late Qing company which revolutionised Chinese banking, now a museum and an increasingly busy tourist attraction. This is the story of how it came to be and how the little city in a small province in China rose to prominence, became the financial centre of the world’s largest economy, fell to obscurity and, now, rises again. The Origins Of Paper Money On the first day of the third year of the reign of the Emperor Xuanzong, the first modern Chinese bank opened for business. Ri Sheng Chang, like other financial institutions in China in 1823, took deposits and offered loans. However, Ri Sheng Chang specialised in fund transfers – it was the first draft bank (known as piaohao (票号) or, literally, a store hao号that handles monetary notes piao 票) in Chinese history.

    Asian Social Science; Vol. 16, No. 6; 2020 ISSN 1911-2017 E-ISSN 1911-2025 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education The Characteristics of the Typical Pattern of Jin-merchant Culture and Its Use in Traditional Decorative Design XiangMing Hu1 & XiaoMing Yang1 1 College of Humanities, Donghua University, Songjiang, Shanghai, China Correspondence: XiangMing Hu. College of humanities, Donghua University, Songjiang, Shanghai, 201620, China. E-mail: [email protected] Received: May 7, 2020 Accepted: May 18, 2020 Online Published: May 31, 2020 doi:10.5539/ass.v16n6p34 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/ass.v16n6p34 Abstract Jin-merchant refers exclusively to the social group of merchants in ancient Chinese Shanxi province who ran businesses and engaged in commodity trading. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Jin-merchants were the leading merchant groups with their wisdom and talent in merchandise management. In the long-term development, the Jin-merchant group gradually formed a relatively complete ideological and cultural system, supporting the development of the Jin-merchants cause. The Jin merchant culture, with Confucianism as its core, has been widely nourished by traditional Chinese culture and has internalized local traditional customs and folklore into their temperament and character, forming a series of specific historical and cultural symbols, which permeate the Jin-merchants code of living and life pursuit, and are gradually evolved into various decorative patterns to integrate into life, in which future generations can feel inspired and enlightened by traditional culture and Jin-merchant philosophy. Keywords: traditional decoration design, typical pattern, Jin-merchant culture During the Spring and Autumn period (722-476 BC), China was divided into many small states, State Jin which dominant area is mainly in Shanxi Province was the one of most important countries.

Chapter One describes the methodological basis. Many ancient Chinese texts underwent periods of oral transmission, but the effect on their form and content has been little researched. Theme and formula are important for understanding the development of these texts. The hegemons are also investigated for the degree to which they conform to greater patterns: the Indo-European models of the hero and good ruler.
