Tonight, they bring you this eclectic and enchanting program, featuring two Chinese contemporary classics as well as a much loved Tchaikovsky symphony. Wu Xing (The Five Elements) by Chen Qigang opens the concert as a perfect showcase for the players, with its intricate orchestral colours and subtle gestures. The Butterfly Lovers Violin Concerto, premiered over fifty years ago, was written to mark the tenth anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. The memorable main theme is based on the traditional Chinese Yue Ju opera featuring the same story. Tonight’s soloist, Lu Siqing, is widely considered to be one of the most important interpreters of the concerto of his generation. Tchaikovsky’s music has long been at the heart of the repertoire for symphony orchestras in China, beloved by players and audiences alike. By placing this significant symphony alongside the Chinese works, the NCPA Orchestra wishes to demonstrate how it fully embraces the width and depth of the classical repertoire with passion and musicality.

I examine three significant roles – musicians, audiences, and mediators, and focus on the interaction between the localized Chinese metal scene and metal globalization. This thesis project uses multiple methods, including textual analysis, observation, surveys, and in-depth interviews. In this thesis, I illustrate an image of the Chinese metal scene, present the characteristics and the development of metal musicians, fans, and mediators in China, discuss their contributions to scene’s construction, and analyze various internal and external factors that influence the localization of metal in China. After that, I argue that the development and the localization of the metal scene in China goes through three stages, the emerging stage (1988-1996), the underground stage (1997-2005), the indie stage (2006-present), with Chinese characteristics. And, this localized trajectory is influenced by the accessibility of metal resources, the rapid economic growth, urbanization, and the progress of modernization in China, and the overall development of cultural industry and international cultural communication. iv For Yisheng and our unborn baby! v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First of all, I would like to show my deepest gratitude to my advisor, Dr.

It was usually regarded as a subversive subculture and 7 opposite to mainstream culture. This thesis tries to rethink the cliches of Chinese 8 rock music wave from an external sociological perspective as well as musical and 9 textual analysis. The emergence of Chinese rock music was deeply rooted in the 10 background of reform and opening up, in which the ideology and social structure 11 was undergoing a holistic change. By involving in the process of globalization, 12 cultural imports impacted Chinese contemporary cultural pattern. In the matter 13 artistic feature, contemporary culture in China was stratified into dominant 14 culture, elite culture, popular culture and folk culture.

    JIAO, WEI, D.M.A. Chinese and Western Elements in Contemporary Chinese Composer Zhou Long’s Works for Solo Piano Mongolian Folk-Tune Variations, Wu Kui, and Pianogongs. (2014) Directed by Dr. Andrew Willis. 136 pp. Zhou Long is a Chinese American composer who strives to combine traditional Chinese musical techniques with modern Western compositional ideas. His three piano pieces, Mongolian Folk Tune Variations, Wu Kui, and Pianogongs each display his synthesis of Eastern and Western techniques. A brief cultural, social and political review of China throughout Zhou Long’s upbringing will provide readers with a historical perspective on the influence of Chinese culture on his works. Study of Mongolian Folk Tune Variations will reveal the composers early attempts at Western structure and harmonic ideas. Wu Kui provides evidence of the composer’s desire to integrate Chinese cultural ideas with modern and dissonant harmony. Finally, the analysis of Pianogongs will provide historical context to the use of traditional Chinese percussion instruments and his integration of these instruments with the piano. Zhou Long comes from an important generation of Chinese composers including, Chen Yi and Tan Dun, that were able to leave China achieve great success with the combination of Eastern and Western ideas. This study will deepen the readers’ understanding of the Chinese cultural influences in Zhou Long’s piano compositions.

Global Media Flows and the Beijing Youth TIANKAI TANG A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Westminster for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2018 Abstract This thesis aims to explore how the Chinese urban young generation experience different forms of cultural cosmopolitanism through the consumption of growing flows of de- territorialized media products – mainly, but not solely, US-led Western media products, including films and television programmes. It also examines how this generation is negotiating hybrid identities from the perspective of cultural cosmopolitanism, given their strong Chinese cultural influences and constant exposure and consumption of Western media products. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, the research is designed to be an exploratory, though pioneering work, which also seeks a possible explanation as to what contributes to cultural cosmopolitanism. Drawing on a range of historical sources, the thesis throws light on the causes of cosmopolitanism within the Chinese context and relates it to stability and change in the social environment in China.

Volume: 38 Issue: 9 Issue date: September 25, 2018 Publication year: 2018 Pages: 129-138 Language: Chinese ISSN: 10000976 CODEN: TIGOE3 Document type: Journal article (JA) Publisher: Natural Gas Industry Journal Agency Abstract: The risk assessment of oil and gas pipeline, one of the current hotspot issues, has gradually evolved from qualitative evaluation to quantitative evaluation. In order to reduce the effects of subjective factors in the process of quantitative risk assessment of oil and gas pipeline, we established a quantitative risk assessment model of oil and gas pipeline based on the historical data of pipeline failure. The index system of basic failure probability and modification factors for oil and gas pipeline was determined by analyzing the failure data of different types of pipelines in the database, such as Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). The modification factors are divided into three groups (i.e., quantitative index, semi-quantitative index and qualitative index) according to the degrees of difficulty in quantifying the modification factors. The first two groups of them can be quantified or quantitatively classified, and only the last one depends on the experience of experts. Thus, the subjective dependence of risk assessment is reduced greatly.

  • 2010 COMMEMORATIONS of the THEATRICAL CAREERS of CAO YU and LI YURU LI RURU University of Leeds
    2010 COMMEMORATIONS OF THE THEATRICAL CAREERS OF CAO YU AND LI YURU LI RURU1 University of Leeds Baoyu 寶玉, “Precious Jade,” is the name of the protagonist in the novel The Dream of the Red Chamber (Honglou meng 紅樓夢). Coincidently, these two characters can also stand as an abbreviation of the names of a theatrical couple: playwright Wan Jiabao 萬家寶 (better known under his penname Cao Yu 曹禺) and Jingju 京劇 (also known as Beijing opera or Peking opera) actress Li Yuru 李玉茹. During the autumn and winter of 2010, China’s theatrical realm commemorated their respective contributions to Chinese theatre. Cao Yu (1910-1996), a penname whose two characters represent the radical and phonetic, respectively, of his family name, is recognised as “the most significant figure in the development of modern drama in China” (Rimmington 1997). Often compared to Shakespeare, Ibsen, Chekhov, and O’Neill, Cao Yu is credited with helping the non-indigenous “spoken drama” (huaju 話劇) reach a degree of maturity in both form and audience reception in the mid 1930s, and declares that his early plays gained canonical status due to their artistry and skilful fusion of contemporary political themes (Noble 2007, 78-80). The Cao Yu Centenary was marked by a series of events sponsored by the nation’s Ministry of Culture (Wenhua bu 文化部), the Federation of Chinese Literature and Arts (Zhongguo wenlian 中國文聯), and the municipal government of Beijing. Activities included symposia, lectures, two international conferences (one held in Tianjin 天津 and Beijing 北京, 1 I should disclose that Li Yuru is my mother and Cao Yu is my stepfather.
