  • The Evaluation and Improvement Method of Waterfront Urban Landscape, 49Th ISOCARP Congress 2013
    Zhao Ye, The Evaluation and Improvement Method of Waterfront Urban Landscape, 49th ISOCARP Congress 2013 The Evaluation and Improvement Method of Waterfront Urban Landscape: the Case of Urban Landscape Planning for West Lake in Hangzhou, China Ye ZHAO, School of Architecture and Planning, Southeast University, China Jianguo WANG, School of Architecture and Planning, Southeast University, China Abstract Urban landscape usually contains two layers of meaning: landscape and viewing, especially in waterfront zone. Traditional design focuses on landscape design which purely improve the quality of objects in static, passive way much more than noticing the initiative viewer as subject. Actually, landscape and viewing are dialectic. Interactive design using reasonable visual evaluation methods, integrated with “positive” human activity optimization as well as “passive” landscape improvement, can be helpful to enhance the quality and controllability. West Lake in Hangzhou is the famous cultural heritage in China with humanities and nature fitting each other perfectly, which also represents the model of blending natural scenery and modern city. However, it faces some urgent problems in modern urban development, the relationship between West Lake and the city has become extremely uncoordinated, as it suffered very serious “pressure” from the city. This paper takes West Lake as example, basing on lots of survey, analyzes the visual effect from every grid viewpoint on the lake (using GPS to locate), and tries to find out the both way of adjustment from the respects of viewer and landscape, and finally proposes some thinking of the design method. Being water-adjacent is one of the critical principles for ancient cities. In contemporary city, although the functional factor has gradually declined, the landscape meaning is getting greater.

With an area of 23,300 sq.m, it is celebrated for its artistic way of dealing with the spaces between various kinds of architectural form. Buildings make up one third of the total area of the garden, the hall of which being the most remarkable in Suzhou. The garden is separated into the middle, eastern, northern and western parts. The ancestral temple and the house lie to the south of the garden. Featuring man-made mountain and lake scenery in the west and garden courts in the east, the middle part of the garden is the original site of the Xu’s East Garden and the Liu’s Hanbi Villa, and is regarded as the best part of the whole garden. The eastern,northern and western parts are the extensions of the Sheng’s Garden. The eastern part is noted for its strangely shaped lime-stones, the northern part idyllic scenes, and the western part the delights of woody hills. A winding roofed walkway behind the small entrance of the garden,while leading to the places of quietude, shows the masterly use of contrast between big and small, straight and zigzag, and light and shade.

  • Asia Bookroom
    Chinese Posters & Papercuts ASIA BOOKROOM CHINESE POSTERS & PAPERCUTS The communication of the state’s desires to the Chinese people through the arts has a long history. This method of communication reached a high point in late 20th Century China during the Great Leap Forward and most especially during the Cultural Revolution. In fact, as many as 2.2 billion official portraits of Mao alone were published during the Cultural Revolution, an astounding figure particularly when you consider that a great many posters published at this time did not include Mao! In the early days of the People’s Republic posters served several purposes not the least being an effective way of communicating with the many illiterate people in the Chinese population. Additionally, posters offered a form of subliminal“ advertising” as many Chinese people tuned out to the messages, however, with the regular exposure that posters offered, ideas were still effectively transferred. While the messages were ignored by some, they were carefully noted by others. It has been said that given the subtle but regular changes in tone and message, posters were even more useful than newspapers to get a feel for which way the political winds were blowing. (Chinese Propaganda Posters from the Collection of Michael Wolf. – Anchee Min & Stefan R. Landsberger. Taschen 2003). Propaganda posters are a fascinating field of Chinese art and political history that opens up the modern history and culture of China in a special way. For Cultural Revolution material we commend to you the work of Stefan R. Landsberger both in the printed form of his books on the subject and the excellent website he and his colleagues have constructed at www.chineseposters.net which also includes an extensive bibliography.

  • Teaching and Learning in CE Translation Class: a Task-Based
    English Language and Literature Studies; Vol. 5, No. 4; 2015 ISSN 1925-4768 E-ISSN 1925-4776 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Teaching and Learning in C-E Translation Class: A Task-Based Model Xiaofeng Liu1 & Huijuan Ma1 1 School of English and International Studies, Beijing Foreign Studies University, Beijing, China Correspondence: Xiaofeng Liu, School of English and International Studies, Beijing Foreign Studies University, Beijing, 100089, China. E-mail: [email protected] Received: September 22, 2015 Accepted: November 4, 2015 Online Published: November 29, 2015 doi:10.5539/ells.v5n4p70 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ells.v5n4p70 Abstract Directionality of translation has been traditionally ignored theoretically and practically at home and abroad for a long time, even though some experts have challenged it a lot. The situation in China calls for translation from LA to LB, and of course for translation teaching and learning in this domain. So, based on existing academic and practical contributions in the fields of task, task-based pedagogy, assessing theory and C-E translation competence, the paper tends to construct an integrated pedagogical model of C-E translation teaching and learning. Keywords: task-based, C-E translation, translation competence, formative assessment 1. Introduction 1.1 Research Background In the report of the 17th National Congress, the ‘going-out’ policy was written as a national strategy, and the past 18th Congress has reaffirmed the strategy. The policy has thus been accepted as fundamental in national politics, economy, ideology, culture, finance, security, diplomacy, education and all other related areas. That is to say it is closely associated with China’s overall national power, modernization, rejuvenation and renaissance.
