The General Plan Update’s proposed land uses were the result of a three-year process overseen by a 12-member General Plan Advi- sory Committee.

In Pursuit of the Great Peace: Han Dynasty Classicism and the Making of Early Medieval Literati Culture Abstract This dissertation is focused on communities of people in the Han dynasty (205 B.C.-A.D. 220) who possessed the knowledge of a corpus of texts: the Five Classics. Previously scholars have understood the popularity of this corpus in the Han society as a result of stiff ideology and imperial propaganda. However, this approach fails to explain why the imperial government considered them effective to convey propaganda in the first place. It does not capture the diverse range of ideas in classicism. This dissertation concentrates on Han classicists and treats them as scholars who constantly competed for attention in intellectual communities and solved problems with innovative solutions that were plausible to their contemporaries. This approach explains the nature of the apocryphal texts, which scholars have previously referred to as shallow and pseudo-scientific.

Abstract: Huozhou city is subordinate to Linfen City, Shanxi Province. It has a splendid culture and a long history, and some cultural relics and historic sites have been preserved. Huozhou administration is one of the representatives. The official buildings in the Qing Dynasty, represented by the official offices in Huozhou, reflect the successive changes of officials, the continuity of ancient city culture, the folk wisdom of skilled craftsmen and the renovation and transformation of each period, which have left more or less marks on the official offices in Huozhou, making it play an important role in supplementing the cultural connotation of Huozhou. The government office and its ancient official system have far-reaching influence on today's political system and legal system. However, its protection and development are still in the development stage. How to continue its cultural and historical value, promote cultural heritage and innovation, and how to expand its influence in the whole province and even the whole country are still problems to be solved.

    The Essence of Governance: the Development of Public Administration in China

    THE ESSENCE OF GOVERNANCE: THE DEVELOPMENT OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION IN CHINA Yongfei Zhao A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION December 2005 Committee: Dr. D. S. Chauhan, Advisor Dr. John Hoag Dr. Shannon Orr © 2005 Yongfei Zhao All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. D. S. Chauhan, Advisor The government of China has made concerted efforts to modernize the society by undertaking major administrative reforms and by professionalizing public service education since 1999. In addition to various administrative reform programs initiated by Deng Xiaoping and implemented by Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao, the inauguration of Master of Public Administration degree programs has provided the real meaning to those administrative reforms in enhancing the management capacity of government employees. All these efforts are directed toward establishing public administration as a discipline. This study provides (1) the historic overview of the development of public administration in China; (2) examines the administrative structures and reforms undertaken by the Chinese government to modernize administrative systems; (3) analyzes the establishment of MPA degree programs to develop professional public service; and (4) assesses the impact of globalization on political, administrative, and economic institutions in Chinese society. Throughout the study, a special attention has been paid to the examination of the impact of Chinese culture, values, tradition, and socialist ideology on the governance process. iv To Dr. Chauhan and My Parents v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am deeply indebted to my academic advisor, Professor D. S. Chauhan, for his constant encouragement and help to complete my thesis.

  • Authenticity of Yum Cha in Auckland, New Zealand, As Compared with Guangzhou, China, the Country of Origin

    Authenticity of Yum Cha in Auckland, New Zealand, As Compared with Guangzhou, China, the Country of Origin

    Authenticity of yum cha in Auckland, New Zealand, as compared with Guangzhou, China, the country of origin Sijie Wang A dissertation submitted to AUT University in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Gastronomy 2019 School of Hospitality and Tourism Primary Supervisor: Dr Nancy Mclntyre Abstract Food authenticity has become an important topic in recent years. Especially when a food is found far from the place of origin, its authenticity is doubted and argued over. Yum cha is the art of drinking Chinese tea and eating snacks (dim sum) together. This study compares yum cha in its place of origin, that is, Guangzhou, China, and a new place, that is, Auckland, New Zealand, to examine the authenticity of yum cha out of origin. This study adopts content analysis as its methodology to explore the authenticity issues of yum cha. As there are a number of definitions of the term authenticity, and various concepts associated with it, this study uses N. Wang’s (1999) theory of three types of authenticity (objective authenticity, constructed authenticity, and existential authenticity) to form its criteria for examining yum cha. However, only one type of authenticity – constructive authenticity – is analysed in this research because of some objective issues. Two restaurant search websites, Dian Ping and Zomato, are chosen to provide the content. The comparison is conducted in three dimensions: food, dining environment, and service. With respect to the food dimension, the eight most popular dim sum food items are analysed. The results reveal that yum cha in Auckland, New Zealand, has kept a high degree of constructive authenticity, especially in food appearance, food presentation and serving pattern.
