  • Integrating Chinese and Western Pursuit of Excellence
    2021 4th International Workshop on Advances in Social Sciences (IWASS 2021) Integrating Chinese and Western Pursuit of Excellence Jing Zeng1, Huijun Shen2 1Arts College of Sichuan University, PhD student 2College of Forestry, Sichuan Agricultural University, Wenjiang 611130, China Keywords: Shanghai furniture, Chinese and western combination, “innovation and progress” Abstract: “ShangHai furniture” was born under the combined effect of the localization of Western-style furniture and the westernization of faithful furniture. It is the most representative fusion of China and the West. This article analyzes the contribution of “Shanghai style furniture” to the fusion of Chinese and Western furniture and its positive effect on China's modern furniture innovation based on the four stages of “Shanghai style furniture”: “germination”, “development”, “rejuvenation” and “innovation”. 1. Introduction ShangHai furniture is the product of ShangHai culture, which generally refers to the combination of Chinese and Western style furniture. It is a combination of the advantages of Western-style furniture. During the Republic of China, the beach was born and the place where all the nations came together, thus forming this vast and profound furniture. Shanghai style furniture is the product of the collision between Chinese and Western cultures, and it is partially integrated, so it has dual characteristics of Chinese and Western cultures. Although it is ordinary daily necessities, it is the bearer of China's historical culture. Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has firmly believed in the idea of “harmony and difference” and “tolerance is greater”. Among the furniture, no one can better interpret the harmony culture than Shanghai furniture. Therefore, since its birth, it has become the spokesperson for the fusion of Chinese and Western furniture.

  • Records of the Transmission of the Lamp (Jingde Chuadeng
    The Hokun Trust is pleased to support the fifth volume of a complete translation of this classic of Chan (Zen) Buddhism by Randolph S. Whitfield. The Records of the Transmission of the Lamp is a religious classic of the first importance for the practice and study of Zen which it is hoped will appeal both to students of Buddhism and to a wider public interested in religion as a whole. Contents Foreword by Albert Welter Preface Acknowledgements Introduction Appendix to the Introduction Abbreviations Book Eighteen Book Nineteen Book Twenty Book Twenty-one Finding List Bibliography Index Foreword The translation of the Jingde chuandeng lu (Jingde era Record of the Transmission of the Lamp) is a major accomplishment. Many have reveled in the wonders of this text. It has inspired countless numbers of East Asians, especially in China, Japan and Korea, where Chan inspired traditions – Chan, Zen, and Son – have taken root and flourished for many centuries. Indeed, the influence has been so profound and pervasive it is hard to imagine Japanese and Korean cultures without it. In the twentieth century, Western audiences also became enthralled with stories of illustrious Zen masters, many of which are rooted in the Jingde chuandeng lu. I remember meeting Alan Ginsburg, intrepid Beat poet and inveterate Buddhist aspirant, in Shanghai in 1985. He had been invited as part of a literary cultural exchange between China and the U. S., to perform a series of lectures for students at Fudan University, where I was a visiting student. Eager to meet people who he could discuss Chinese Buddhism with, I found myself ushered into his company to converse on the subject.

  • Impressions of China: Zhang Yimou’S Outdoor Theme Productions
    Impressions of China: Zhang Yimou’s outdoor theme productions By Danjing Zhang (Joy) Bachelor of Commerce and Liberal Studies (The University of Sydney, 2007). A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement of the degree Master of Arts (Research) Creative Industries, Queensland University of Technology 2010. Supervisor: Associate Professor Michael Keane i STATEMENT OF ORIGINAL AUTHORSHIP The work contained in this thesis has not been previously submitted to meet requirements for an award at this or any other higher education institution. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made. Signature: 张丹菁 Date: 11/10/2010 ii Abstract This thesis examines contemporary mediated spectacles used in regional tourism strategies. In recent years there has been growing occurrence of ‘formatted entertainment models’ in China. With this in mind, this thesis explores the ways in which traditional cultural resources are being converted to generate diverse, hybrid commodities. The unique business model of Zhang Yimou, known as the Impression Series provides the case study. The thesis examines multilayered representations of products which continuously form, and are formatted, under the logic of the cultural market. The case study highlights the revival of traditional Chinese culture, a new branding of the Chinese national image and rising ‘soft power’. Primarily, the thesis argues that personal celebrity endorsement is replacing political propaganda heroes in promoting an alternative image of China. Zhang Yimou and Impression West Lake function as a dual branding mechanism that combines ‘people marketing’ and ‘place marketing’ for the development of a ‘created in China’ cultural commodity as well as for the generation of positive economic outcomes.

But my father insists that he is the one who crafted the theme in one of our many conversations. Either way, I owe a great deal to my parents, whose integrity, compassion, patriotism, and thirst for knowledge never cease to amaze me. Living up to their expectation is not easy.

  • Perceptions of Change, Changes in Perception-West Lake As Contested Site/Sight in the Wake of The1911 Revolution
    Perceptions of Change, Changes in Perception-West Lake as Contested Site/Sight in the Wake of the1911 Revolution Eugene Y. Wang Photographer's Statement Landslide, avalanche, and earthquake are among the metaphors often . used to characterize a historical change, particularly a revolution. In the 1911 Republican Revolution, for instance, one sees "tokens of the elements of volcanic eruption and confidently looks for seismic manifesta­ tions 10,000 miles away" (Dillon 1911: 874). The relevance of such rhetori­ cal flights may in tact extend beyond mere figures of speech. Replacing imperial rule with a republican government, the 1911 Revolution not only dramatically changed the Chinese political landscape (Price 1990: 223-260; Schrecker 1991: 128- 135), it also drastically transformed the physical land­ scape and people's perceptions of it. Two historical photo albums on the landscape of West Lake at Hangzhou, both published by the Shanghai Commercial Press, bear some eloquent testimony to this fact. One album, Views of West Lake,' appeared in 1910, one year before the overthrow of 1 The English title, Views of West the Qing regime. The second album, West Lake, Hangchow, as part of a Lake, appears on the front page. It is volume one of what was intended as series titled Scenic China, first came out in 1915 (ZGMS).

  • INTERPRETAION of the LATEST DEVELOPMENT PATTERN of TRANSFORMATION from 'TOWN' INTO 'SMALL CITY' in CHINA a Case Study Ba
    INTERPRETAION OF THE LATEST DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF TRANSFORMATION FROM ‘TOWN’ INTO ‘SMALL CITY’ IN CHINA A case study based on 27 pilot towns in Zhejiang Province Wang Siyi Department of Architecture, College of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China Director: Prof. Xu Lei Mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT In the process of urbanization in China, the biggest challenge is how to transform the ‘town’ into the ‘city’. It is also a vital link in urbanization. The Chinese government put forward the strategy which aims on speeding up the urbanization development in November 2013. Meanwhile, China has selected some pilot towns, which are intended to become cities in the end, for tentative transformation. Zhejiang Province, which ranks top among the country in economic strength, amount of village and development level and quantity, has become an important national pilot carrier. So far there are 27 pilot towns. By analyzing the development situation of 27 pilot towns, this paper analyzes this particular phenomenon of urbanization and summarize its characteristics. Keywords: Chinese contemporary urbanization strategy, Small City, Pilot Cases, Zhejiang Province BACKGROUND Ancient Zhejiang: China’s ‘civilized nations’ epitome of history As the birthplace of Wuyue Culture, Zhejiang Province is typical and famous for its economic prosperity, developed industry . It has walked in the forefront of China for a long time. It is also a region of China city in the ancient times. As early as in the Southern Song Dynasty period, Zhejiang Province has become the most developed areas for towns and villages. The quantity, scale, or tending to the pattern of urban distribution network of towns and villages in Zhejiang were at the highest level.
