  • Chinese Poetry of the Nineteenth Century
    “Modern” Science and Technology in “Classical” Chinese Poetry of the Nineteenth Century J. D. Schmidt 㕥⎱䐆 University of British Columbia This paper is dedicated to the memory of Prof. Daniel Bryant (1942-2014), University of Victoria, a great scholar and friend. Introduction This paper examines poetry about science and technology in nineteenth- century China, not a common topic in poetry written in Classical Chinese, much less in textbook selections of classical verse read in high school and university curricula in China. Since the May Fourth/New Culture Movement from the 1910s to the 1930s, China’s literary canon underwent a drastic revision that consigned a huge part of its verse written after the year 907 to almost total oblivion, while privileging more popular forms from after that date that are written in vernacular Chinese, such as drama and novels.1 The result is that today most Chinese confine their reading of poetry in the shi 娑 form to works created before the end of the Tang Dynasty (618-907), missing the rather extensive body of verse about scientific and technological subjects that began in the Song Dynasty (960-1278), largely disappeared in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), and then flourished as never before in the late Qing period (1644-1912). Except for a growing number of specialist scholars in China, very few Chinese readers have explored the poetry of the nineteenth century—in my opinion, one of the richest centuries in classical verse— thinking that the writing of this age is dry and derivative. Such a view is a product of the culture wars of the early twentieth century, but the situation has not been helped by the common name given to the most important literary group of the nineteenth and early twentieth century, the Qing Dynasty Song School (Qingdai Songshi pai 㶭ẋ⬳娑㳦), a term which suggests that its poetry is imitative of earlier authors, particularly those of the Song Dynasty.

  • Dengfeng Observatory, China
    90 ICOMOS–IAU Thematic Study on Astronomical Heritage Archaeological/historical/heritage research: The Taosi site was first discovered in the 1950s. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, archaeologists excavated nine chiefly tombs with rich grave goods, together with large numbers of common burials and dwelling foundations. Archaeologists first discovered the walled towns of the Early and Middle Periods in 1999. The remains of the observatory were first discovered in 2003 and totally uncovered in 2004. Archaeoastronomical surveys were undertaken in 2005. This work has been published in a variety of Chinese journals. Chinese archaeoastronomers and archaeologists are currently conducting further collaborative research at Taosi Observatory, sponsored jointly by the Committee of Natural Science of China and the Academy of Science of China. The project, which is due to finish in 2011, has purchased the right to occupy the main field of the observatory site for two years. Main threats or potential threats to the sites: The most critical potential threat to the observatory site itself is from the burials of native villagers, which are placed randomly. The skyline formed by Taer Hill, which is a crucial part of the visual landscape since it contains the sunrise points, is potentially threatened by mining, which could cause the collapse of parts of the top of the hill. The government of Xiangfen County is currently trying to shut down some of the mines, but it is unclear whether a ban on mining could be policed effectively in the longer term. Management, interpretation and outreach: The county government is trying to purchase the land from the local farmers in order to carry out a conservation project as soon as possible.

  • Conservation in China Issue, Spring 2016
    SPRING 2016 CONSERVATION IN CHINA A Note from the Director For over twenty-five years, it has been the Getty Conservation Institute’s great privilege to work with colleagues in China engaged in the conservation of cultural heritage. During this quarter century and more of professional engagement, China has undergone tremendous changes in its social, economic, and cultural life—changes that have included significant advance- ments in the conservation field. In this period of transformation, many Chinese cultural heritage institutions and organizations have striven to establish clear priorities and to engage in significant projects designed to further conservation and management of their nation’s extraordinary cultural resources. We at the GCI have admiration and respect for both the progress and the vision represented in these efforts and are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the preservation of cultural heritage in China. The contents of this edition of Conservation Perspectives are a reflection of our activities in China and of the evolution of policies and methods in the work of Chinese conservation professionals and organizations. The feature article offers Photo: Anna Flavin, GCI a concise view of GCI involvement in several long-term conservation projects in China. Authored by Neville Agnew, Martha Demas, and Lorinda Wong— members of the Institute’s China team—the article describes Institute work at sites across the country, including the Imperial Mountain Resort at Chengde, the Yungang Grottoes, and, most extensively, the Mogao Grottoes. Integrated with much of this work has been our participation in the development of the China Principles, a set of national guide- lines for cultural heritage conservation and management that respect and reflect Chinese traditions and approaches to conservation.

  • Thoughts on the Construction of the Public Service System of Smart Tourism ——Taking Huangshan As an Example
    Academic Journal of Humanities & Social Sciences ISSN 2616-5783 Vol. 2, Issue 1: 154-161, DOI: 10.25236/AJHSS.040037 Thoughts on the Construction of the Public Service System of Smart Tourism ——Taking Huangshan as an Example Lei Ma School of Tourism, Huangshan University, Huangshan, 245021, China ABSTRACT. Tourism is the demand for people's needs to develop to an advanced stage. With the continuous improvement of the living standards of our people, the contradiction between the demand for tourism experience and the lack of tourism infrastructure has become increasingly prominent. Smart tourism has effectively alleviated this contradiction as a means of integrating information resources to improve the quality and level of tourism services. Based on the positive role of smart tourism in promoting the development of China's tourism industry, this paper analyzes Huangshan tourism as an example, and hopes to provide suggestions and reflections on the improvement of China's tourism public service system. KEYWORDS: Smart tourism, Public service system, Huangshan 1. Introduction With the development of tourism industry, the needs of Chinese people for tourism public services are more intense. Improving the public information tourism service mechanism can promote the further development of China's tourism industry. From the current tourism industry, there are some problems in the development of tourism public information services, which restricts the development prospects of tourism public information services, and the birth of smart tourism has made up for the shortage of tourism public services in China. Tourism public services can greatly satisfy the tourist needs of tourists and effectively promote the development of tourism in China.

  • Research on a Projected Brand and Perceived Personality Differentiation of Tourist Destination: a Case Study of Shandong, China
    Vol. 10(3), pp. 20-28, May 2019 DOI: 10.5897/JHMT2019.0267 Article Number: 44ABE7B61081 ISSN 2141-6575 Copyright © 2019 Journal of Hospitality Management and Author(s) retain the copyright of this article http://www.academicjournals.org/JHMT Tourism Full Length Research Paper Research on a projected brand and perceived personality differentiation of tourist destination: A case study of Shandong, China Jun Wu*, Weilong Sun, Fanglei Wang, Zhaoli Xu and Yuanyuan Xu School of Geography and Tourism, Qufu Normal University, China Received 23 February, 2019; Accepted 13 May, 2019 Due to the accelerated pace of modern life, consumers reduce time of purchase decisions and tend to choose services that match their own personality. The development of the brand of tourist destination needs to introduce new, appropriate extension to meet the needs of tourists in order to maintain exuberant vitality. So, what the perception of the brand personality of tourist destination is and whether it has an impact on the effectiveness of tourists’ evaluation of extended brand are needed to research. Based on a tourism website on visitors’ reviews and advertisements on scenic areas, this paper examined Shandong Province and discussed differences in regional tourism brands. Firstly, tourists’ comments were collected from the tourism website and high-frequency words that describe individual characteristics using the content analysis method were extracted. Secondly, the characteristics of vocabulary acquisition were summarized; the tourism brand personality dimension scale was used, put corresponding data into cross-contingency tables and obtains visitors’ destination personality perception differences. Thirdly, after using group discussions and the Delphi method to obtain the Shandong tourism projected brand personality and this was compared with tourists’ brand personalities, it was revealed that the perception of Shandong promulgated by its marketers differs from visitors’ perceptions.
