The Heterogeneous Differences between Chinese and Western Landscape Culture Studies

For a long time,due to the differences in terrain and culture,the aesthetic appreciation of Chinese and Western gardens has produced a large gap in modeling and design.Although the composition of garden elements is nothing more than landscape and architecture,there are obvious differences in the use of space and natural attitudes.Chinese gardens always follow the laws of natural beauty and formal beauty in modeling design,and respect nature in attitude and coordinate with nature.However,western gardens attach importance to architecture and artificalism,highlight rational aesthetics,get used to transforming nature in attitude,and always focus on"taking people as the center".They also have cognitive differences in the study of garden history.Comparing the Chinese and Western view of landscape architecture can enrich and expand the possibility of"Chinese landscape architecture research".

Reverberating Chinese Traditional Folk Art in a Contemporary Context

Envisioned as a practice-based research, this paper explored Chinese traditional folk arts and crafts with a focus on traditional decorative patterns, vivid colors, and symbolic motifs that enliven Foshan style paper-cuttings, New Year wood block prints, paper kites, festival lanterns, and Shiwan pottery figures from the areas of Foshan and Shiwan, near Guangzhou, China.

Furthermore, this paper investigated the symbolic meanings founded in Ho＇s spiritual paintings with strong Chinese heritage and how he reinterpreted those artifacts in a contemporary context.

西方语言中porcelain(瓷器)的跨文化语源研究

西方各国porcelain的拼写大同小异,学界普遍认同著名汉学家伯希和的研究:porcelain的语源与汉语无关,它源于法语porcelaine(子安贝),而后者又源于拉丁词porcellana(子安贝),该拉丁词又由porcus(猪)及pucelage(处女状态)派生。但跨文化研究表明,porcelain是汉语"波斯蓝"的对音,得名源于中国古代制瓷所用从伊朗进口的色料。历史上,西方人先认识瓷器,后认识子安贝。因而,在西方语言中,该词先有"瓷器"义,然后再分两个方向演变:一从外貌、形状的角度,衍生出"子安贝"、"贝壳"、"货币"、"牙齿"等含义;另一从颜色("青花")的角度,产生"马齿苋"等词汇。这一研究成果还证实,至少在元代,我国制瓷用的上等色料确实来自伊朗。

Chinese Social History： Forty Years of Research under the Chinese Economic Reform

In the wake of the Chinese economic reform, Chinese scholars have welcomed in the resurgence of historical social research. Looking back over the past 30-odd years of research development, it could be said there existed four general periods： A brainstorm period, an initial ＂beginning＂ period, a period of maturation and lastly an expansion period. From looking at the context of [its] theoretical development, it is clear that scholars researching Chinese social history were, from the beginning, focused on how exactly to define ＂society.＂ This, however, resulted in much debate about the different concepts of social history itself. Though the matter has yet to be setded, the ultimate research objective for the field of historical social research is in its pursuit of truth. In recent years following the dissolution of disciplinary boundaries, the interdisciplinary viewpoint（s） established by social and cultural history have also provided forth a new horizon for the development of Chinese historical social research.

The tenacity of culture as represented by the Chinese color term Qing

qing(青)is a very special and controversial color term in Chinese language and culture for the fact that it can refer to green,blue,or black depending on how it is used in collocation or context;it can be used as both a basic color term and mixed color term;in context it can be understood to refer to a certain color,but sometimes nobody can tell for sure what specific color it refers to;it can refer to color,but in more situations the understanding of it just goes beyond the perception of color,bringing about a vague but delightful feeling about the world in general.Basic as well as associative meanings of this term existed at the early stage of its creation,and these meanings can still be perceived in various situations in modern Chinese,used in much more extensive way.To a large extent,it has become a rather peculiar sign of Chinese culture,held so firmly,dearly and lastingly by the Chinese people.The case of qing serves as a typical example that reflects how the Chinese perceive the world.

On the Formation of Chinese Nation as One Community from the Perspective of Reading History——Taking the Liao,Western Xia,Jin,Yuan Dynasties as Research Focuses

The formation of the Chinese nation as one community is not only the result of the interaction of various factors such as politics,economy,culture,and natural environment,but also an inevitable trend in historical development.However,cultural identity and integration are the most important factors.Classics are the essence of national culture,and they have always played an important role in shaping,communicating,identifying,and integrating ethnic cultures.In Chinese history,regardless of whether various ethnic groups were in control of a region or entered the Central Plains,they relied on reading Chinese classics and learning Chinese culture as the basis for their survival,and identified themselves as members of the Chinese nation.This eternal historical law is particularly evident in the Liao,Western Xia,Jin,and Yuan dynasties.Summarizing the reading history of these ethnic groups and societies,learning from their historical experience,and exploring and inheriting the reading cultural resources of the Chinese nation are necessary for the formation of the Chinese nation as one community.

中华文明影响下东亚古代都城规划研究——以朝鲜、日本与越南为例

中国在数千年城市规划演进中形成了多种都城规划模式,并通过中华文明影响周边地区这一途径传至东亚国家。以纵向贯通、横向比较的方式,系统分析不同时期朝鲜、日本、越南三个东亚国家受中国古代都城规划影响的方式与内容。认为,第一,朝鲜、日本、越南诸国受影响的起止时间、方式有所差异,主要有汉人建设与管理、直接或间接向中国学习等方式。第二,诸国在都城选址、空间结构等方面几乎完全仿效中国,但由于仿效的中国都城不同,学习与创新的内容亦不尽相同。第三,东亚诸国在历代都城规划中延续或遵循了共同的理念,同时,结合本国自然条件与社会情况对中国模式进行了灵活运用或创新。总体而言,中华文明影响下,东亚古代都城规划是学习与创新并举、共性与差异共存的,形成了既有相似性又具有各国特色的都城规划模式。

反思现代西方“神话”历史:“古希腊起源”、霸权意识和回溯式目的论

神话历史是指以解释和维护现实为目标而构建的历史,它往往遮蔽真实的历史。由于存在巨大的可信文字记录断裂期、现实政治的需要和现代西方史学作为民族国家神圣化工具的地位等重要因素,西方史学中存在大量神话历史。西方文明的“古希腊起源”论是现代西方神话历史构架的基石。它并非古已有之,而是出现于17世纪末18世纪初,是随着资本主义发展而形成的新的欧洲文化自我意识在历史中投射的产物。以西欧为中心的资本主义兴起的历史进程,也是欧洲全球霸权形成的过程。新的欧洲文化自我意识在进行自我解释时,同时也是在对欧洲霸权进行解释。新的欧洲文化自我意识渗透着霸权意识。当它投射于历史时,霸权意识形成西方神话历史的五大迷思:西方文明特质论、西方文明内在发展论、西方文明天定命运论、西方文明世界引领论、西方文明使命论。回溯式目的论是西方神话历史谬误产生的重要的认识论根源,它衍生三大方法论错误:以结果做原因,预设西方文明特质;寻找相似性,虚构内在连续性;将历史目的论化、泛道德化。

文明互鉴视野下的中国文艺理论自主知识体系与话语建构

中国自主知识体系与话语的完整建构,一直是当代文艺建设的难题,在大量西方话语资源的充斥下,很难看清中国文艺理论的原本面貌,中国文艺评论在国际舞台上也几近失声。归根结底,是中华文化自信力的丧失,导致中国学人往往与传统文化疏离和隔膜,没有能力打破西方文明对中华文明的偏见与歧视。本文对历史遗留的话语困境进行了反思,指出文明互鉴对于人类发展的重要意义,重建中国文艺评论知识体系的另一个角度,是认识到西方文明常常借鉴自东方,中华民族数千年的积淀足以支撑起中国话语体系的理论框架与范畴术语。我们想要获得与西方世界平等对话的权利,可以从“重写文明史”入手,用客观史实还原人类文明的发展与文明互鉴的脉络,解构西方文明的话语霸权,从而摆脱西方文化对东方的歪曲与蔑视,完善中国文艺评论与中华现代文明的建设,强化文明互鉴,促进人类命运共同体的全面构建。
