  • The Rise of China with Cultural Soft Power in the Age of Globalization
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, May 2018, Vol. 8, No. 5, 763-778 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2018.05.006 D DAVID PUBLISHING The Rise of China with Cultural Soft Power in the Age of Globalization WU You School of Foreign Studies/ Center for Global Studies, Shanghai University Culture has been exerting an even greater influence on China’s image construction and nation branding in today’s globalizing world. As “culture” is the core of Chinese soft power strategy, the concept of “soft power” has been redefined as “cultural soft power” in the Chinese context. Cultural instruments, including the Chinese language as well as traditional and popular cultures, are widely implemented as the “charm” tools to wield and project China’s soft power. Cultural diplomacy is also viewed as an effective way to promote an understanding of China’s ideals, support Chinese economic goals and enhance Chinese national security in subtle, wide-ranging, and sustainable ways. Although Chinese soft power is still in its “embryonic phase”, partly due to its close link to the country’s economic performance and huge market attraction as well as the disadvantages generated by the political and ideological issues, it has contributed greatly to expand China’s international influence and create a circle of like-minded allies on its periphery, in which process its increasing importance shall not be neglected. Keywords: Chinese culture, soft power, cultural influence, cultural diplomacy, globalization Cultural influence, besides the continued momentum of economic growth and military strengthening, becomes more and more important in an ever-increasingly interdependent and interconnected world, which turns out to be a crucial factor in expanding China’s international influence today.

  • Chinese Public Diplomacy: the Rise of the Confucius Institute / Falk Hartig
    Chinese Public Diplomacy This book presents the first comprehensive analysis of Confucius Institutes (CIs), situating them as a tool of public diplomacy in the broader context of China’s foreign affairs. The study establishes the concept of public diplomacy as the theoretical framework for analysing CIs. By applying this frame to in- depth case studies of CIs in Europe and Oceania, it provides in-depth knowledge of the structure and organisation of CIs, their activities and audiences, as well as problems, chal- lenges and potentials. In addition to examining CIs as the most prominent and most controversial tool of China’s charm offensive, this book also explains what the structural configuration of these Institutes can tell us about China’s under- standing of and approaches towards public diplomacy. The study demonstrates that, in contrast to their international counterparts, CIs are normally organised as joint ventures between international and Chinese partners in the field of educa- tion or cultural exchange. From this unique setting a more fundamental observa- tion can be made, namely China’s willingness to engage and cooperate with foreigners in the context of public diplomacy. Overall, the author argues that by utilising the current global fascination with Chinese language and culture, the Chinese government has found interested and willing international partners to co- finance the CIs and thus partially fund China’s international charm offensive. This book will be of much interest to students of public diplomacy, Chinese politics, foreign policy and international relations in general. Falk Hartig is a post-doctoral researcher at Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany, and has a PhD in Media & Communication from Queensland Univer- sity of Technology, Australia.

  • A Study on the Experiential Aspect Markers in Weifang Dialect
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, January 2020, Vol. 10, No. 1, 19-26 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2020.01.003 D DAVID PUBLISHING A Study on the Experiential Aspect Markers in Weifang Dialect WANG Yu-ying Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China LI Qiong Shaanxi Normal University, Xi’an, China The aspectual system of Chinese has been the focus of research in recent years. Over a long period of time, special aspect markers “Zhe (着)” “Le (了)” “Guo (过)” in modern Chinese are produced under the grammaticized process. However, the function and the expression of aspect markers in Chinese dialects are different from those in Mandarin, which are reflected in: (1) they often have their own special aspect markers; (2) the function of aspect markers is somewhat overlapping. The purpose of this study is to describe the experiential aspects in Weifang dialect, in which the presenting pattern of “Guo1” and “Guo2” have remarkable specialties. The special feature is that the marker “Guo” is disappeared and replaced by other aspect markers. Specifically, “Guo1” is replaced by “Le1”, and “Guo2” is replaced by “Hui (回)” and “Lai (来)”, where “Lai” sometimes needs to co-occur with “Hui” in the sentence. This study will provide more clarity on the manifestation of the experiential aspect “Guo2”, and analyze the appear condition, syntactic property and the function of “Hui” and “Lai”. Keywords: Weifang dialect, experiential aspect, aspect markers Introduction Weifang City is located in the middle part of the Shandong Peninsula, and has jurisdiction over the four districts of Weicheng, Kuiwen, Fangzi, and Hanting, as well as nine county-level cities of Changyi, Gaomi, Zhucheng, Wulian, Anqiu, Changle, Linqu, Qingzhou, and Shouguang.

Although it was in the east of Beijing and had perhaps at one time been a village, the Beijing East Village had little in common with its New York counterpart. With its decaying tenements, drug scene, storefront galleries, night clubs and bars catering to all tastes, the New York area had a seedy glamour that was too fragile to last very long. In Beijing the East Village was much less urban, a desolate area closer to the most benighted slums of Paris or London in the nineteenth century.

During the two TD inspections, there were full cooperation and the organizers showed their commitment and dedication in organizing the best ever regional championships. The communication before the event was slow at the beginning due to the language problem. Until a few months before the event when some staff who were able to communicate in English were in post, communication and organization picked up the momentum and geared forward smoothly. We also had some problems with the preparation of the Contract and Doping Agreement to be signed between ITTF and the Korean Table Tennis Association for the Disabled ( KTTAD ).
