Preface About five years ago, when I first touched upon the issue of environmental management towards Township & Village Enterprises (TVEs) in Small Towns and decided to do my MSc thesis on this topic, I was not really aware of the complexity of the problems. I was eager to apply what I had learned from the environmental management courses in Wageningen University in those TVEs, and I believed that the problems could be decisively solved with the appropriate attitude, management approaches and technologies. This belief was further confirmed during my two months fieldwork in three Small Towns in China in 1997. Those meetings, discussions, interviews and on-site visits left me with the impression that the idea of development first and environmental concerns second was firmly entrenched in the Small Towns visited. At that time, local leaders, entrepreneurs and town citizens were either reluctant to talk about environmental issues unless these efforts would be accompanied with other visible benefits or unaware of the environmental problems around them. Not surprisingly, I concluded my thesis with suggestions on environmental education, awareness raising, public participation and environmental management strategies based on multiple instruments. The more fundamental causes of TVEs environmental behaviors and management difficulties in Small Towns remained understudied in this small study. Fortunately, during the first fieldwork in China, very useful contacts were made with some governmental authorities, technical experts and information resources in both Beijing and the towns visited. Cooperation with a major United Nation Development Program (UNDP) Project on capacity building for sustainable town development (CPR/96/507) started me on the path of learning about ‘rural China’- that is, the local states. This, together with the contacts with the Administration Center for China Agenda 21 (ACCA21) and the Department of Systems Ecology of China’s Academy of Sciences, laid the foundation for my Ph.D. research. This dissertation presents my findings, thinking, interpretations and suggestions regarding the issue of TVEs environmental management in Small Towns. I offer it with the hope that it will contribute to the unveiling of the mysterious rural China and farmers’ logic. The issues studied in this dissertation have been the interest of many researchers from both abroad and home. As observed by R. Kirkby et al., while the Western academics suffer from considerable problems in gathering of primary data of any kind in China, especially when it comes to the social sciences, the contextualization of primary data by the first generation of local Chinese social scientists remains problematic as well. This fact suggests to me the challenge of going deeper into this subject, from a new perspective; with advantages of being Chinese and a social researcher who has studied in a Western country, the Netherlands. There is only one way to build up this competence – to learn from both sides. This doctoral research project involved four institutions, including the Department of Environmental Sociology in Wageningen University and Research Center (WUR), the Dutch Academy of Sciences, the Center for Eco-Environmental Research in the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Administration Center for China Agenda 21 (ACCA21) under the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST). This dissertation would have never been made without their financial support and academic guidance. The past four years for me has been a great learning process. Many people have helped me to continuously correct my directions before I got lost. To name all who have helped would be pretentious; to name only some is invidious. But I owe special thanks to Professor Dr. Arthur Mol of the Environmental Policy Group in Wageningen University of the Netherlands. It is he who showed interest in this research topic and has guided me from the beginning to the end of my work. Without his critical and detailed comments on the design, analysis and writing with his research expertise, there could have been no guarantee of the academic quality of this dissertation. I was surprised many times by his knowledge on and insight into environmental issues in my home country. I have also learned from him how to behave like a scientific researcher, which will benefit me for my entire lifetime. I am also very grateful to my Chinese supervisor, Professor Dr. Wang Rusong in the Center for Environment and Ecological Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. As one of the leading figures in the field of human systems ecology, he inspired me with the Chinese theory of Socio-Economic Natural Complex Eco-system (SENCE), which lays the base of the established theoretical framework. But his influence on me goes beyond the discussions on this dissertation. I admire him for his knowledge on ancient Chinese philosophies and his devotion to his academic career. Special thanks go to Shi Han, the director of the China Center for Environmentally Sound Technology Transfer (CESTT), for his willingness to cooperate for this research in China. I have benefited enormously from working with him and his group in Beijing and being involved in several international projects in environmental field. Through him, I have developed valuable contacts and carried out the case studies. His sharp comments and rich knowledge of Chinese environmental issues have contributed to the generation of some important ideas presented in this dissertation. He also set me an example of a professional consultant. I wish I had learned more from him. I owe many thanks to Professor Yan Jianfu, who has been always helpful with his rich experience and knowledge on rural China. His encouragement and caring have protected me from getting depressed at the moments when things went wrong. I have learned from him how to stay firm and optimistic in difficult situations. My life in China during 1998-2000 would have been unbearable without those friends I made there. Their friendship is the most precious thing I harvested during this period. Zhang Jichen, Xu Hesheng, Zhu Minjing, Lu Yi, Liu Chong, Shen Zhennin, Chen Dong, Tan Yajun, Yang Yuchen, Wang Yuxiang, Liu Yi, Feng Yecheng, Xie Wei, you all will remain the brightest stars in my sky. Many friends in the Netherlands have helped me to discover and enjoy a life which is different from that at home. I am very grateful to Peter Hekstra, Dick Legger, Wenner Haas, Lajos Kovacs and their families who have shown great concern on my study here and have shortened the gap between the natives and the foreigners. Special thanks go to Dr. Kovacs for painting the cover picture of this dissertation. I also wish to extend my thanks to all colleagues and fellow PhD candidates of the Environmental Policy Group of Wageningen University for showing strong interest in the Chinese people and China issues. I am very glad to see that our group has become more and more active in China and some of the lecturers got chances to work in China for cooperation projects. I wish they will know my homeland better and will promote China in a more positive way in Holland. My special thanks to several people for their either academic help or administrative support: Professor Dr. Gert Spaargagen, Dr. Peter Ho, Dr. Kris van Koppen and Ms. Corry Rothuizen. I owe many thanks to Anne Scheinberg for her great help on the English language of this dissertation. During my seven years stay in Wageningen, many Chinese friends have shared with me my joys and sadness. Special thanks go to Weng Liping, Jiang Bo, Zhu Xueqin, Dang Jie, Han Beizhong, Chen Nan, Zhang Rong and Tian Dexue. I am in great debt of my parents for their love, understanding and support over years. I would have never come to this academic point without their education and encouragement. Many thanks to my brother, Zhang Jing, and sister-in-low, Huo Fang, for their affection toward me and for taking care of our parents when I am far away from home. At last, I would like to thank my beloved friend, Sun Zhongkui, for his love and companion in the past years and for all the sunny and dark moments we have shared.

  • Analysis of Character Convergence of Jiangnan Ancient Towns Lei Yunyao , Zhang Qiongfang
    International Forum on Management, Education and Information Technology Application (IFMEITA 2016) Analysis of Character Convergence of Jiangnan Ancient Towns Lei Yunyao1, a, Zhang Qiongfang 1,b 1 Wuchang Shouyi University, Wuhan 430064 China [email protected], b [email protected] Key Words：Jiangnan Ancient Towns; Character convergence; Analysis Abstract：This article illustrates the representation of character convergence of Jiangnan Ancient Towns. It analyzes the formation mechanism of character convergence to build the whole image of these ancient towns with Zhouzhuang as a prototype. Based on Tourism Geography Theory and Regional Linkage Theory, it puts forward the fact that the character convergence can be beneficial to building a whole tourism image and to enhancing people’s awareness of ancient heritage. But some problems caused by the convergence will also be presented, such as the identical tourism development model, the backward infrastructure and the destruction of original ecology. Introduction With Taihu Lake as the center, the region of Jiangnan, the south of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, is scattered all over by many historic ancient towns. These towns have a long history and deep cultural deposit. They are densely occupied and economically developed. They form a national transport network combined with inland waterway. These towns have witnessed a long-term economic prosperity in the south of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and are now generally called “Jiangnan Ancient Towns”. Since 1980s, under the wave of reform, opening up and modernization construction, experience-based tourism and leisure tourism of these towns have achieved great development. Under the influence of “China's First Water Town” Zhouzhuang, some other similar towns like Tongli, Luzhi, Xitang, Nanxun, Wuzhen all choose to follow suit.

  • Spatial Distribution Pattern of Minshuku in the Urban Agglomeration of Yangtze River Delta
    The Frontiers of Society, Science and Technology ISSN 2616-7433 Vol. 3, Issue 1: 23-35, DOI: 10.25236/FSST.2021.030106 Spatial Distribution Pattern of Minshuku in the Urban Agglomeration of Yangtze River Delta Yuxin Chen, Yuegang Chen Shanghai University, Shanghai 200444, China Abstract: The city cluster in Yangtze River Delta is the core area of China's modernization and economic development. The industry of Bed and Breakfast (B&B) in this area is relatively developed, and the distribution and spatial pattern of Minshuku will also get much attention. Earlier literature tried more to explore the influence of individual characteristics of Minshuku (such as the design style of Minshuku, etc.) on Minshuku. However, the development of Minshuku has a cluster effect, and the distribution of domestic B&Bs is very unbalanced. Analyzing the differences in the distribution of Minshuku and their causes can help the development of the backward areas and maintain the advantages of the developed areas in the industry of Minshuku. This article finds that the distribution of Minshuku is clustered in certain areas by presenting the overall spatial distribution of Minshuku and cultural attractions in Yangtze River Delta and the respective distribution of 27 cities. For example, Minshuku in the central and eastern parts of Yangtze River Delta are more concentrated, so are the scenic spots in these areas. There are also several concentrated Minshuku areas in other parts of Yangtze River Delta, but the number is significantly less than that of the central and eastern regions. Keywords: Minshuku, Yangtze River Delta, Spatial distribution, Concentrated distribution 1.

  • De La Música Tradicional De China. Selección
    Discografía de la música tradicional de China. Selección Biblioteca Fundación Juan March Esta selección discográfica ha sido preparada con motivo de la exposición El principio Asia. China, Japón e India y el arte contemporáneo en España (1957-2017) y del ciclo de cinco conciertos Oriente y la música occidental. Durante la preparación de esta discografía no han sido incluidos numerosos registros publicados en China de muy difícil localización en Occidente. Tampoco se mencionan grabaciones sonoras anteriores al vinilo. Las músicas que aparecen en estos discos son un breve apunte de la riqueza musical tradicional que aún se practica en este país. Muchos de estos soportes sonoros han sido y son, además, fuente de estudio para compositores e intérpretes occidentales. La influencia de estas músicas sobre las técnicas compositivas, el timbre vocal e instrumental o sobre la concepción del tiempo musical es esencial para comprender una gran parte de la historia musical del siglo XX. Selección discográfica de José Luis Maire Biblioteca Fundación Juan March Abril de 2018 Música y canto budista La liturgia budista y taoísta en China tiene una historia de casi 2000 años y todavía se practica ampliamente en la actualidad. Desde su llegada a China hasta las llamadas tres dinastías del Norte y del Sur (420-589 d. C.), el budismo sufrió un proceso de consolidación hasta su profunda adaptación. Como numerosos documentos históricos demuestran (textos, pinturas y esculturas), el budismo introdujo en China nuevos géneros y prácticas rituales de una manera progresiva. Uno de los géneros más representativos y específicos de la liturgia vocal china es el denominado canto fanbei, caracterizado por la construcción de melodías melismáticas surgidas como consecuencia de un proceso de transculturación con las formas nativas de China.
