The Dissemination and Contemporary Construction of Folklore in the Context of Multiple Interactions-Take the Liangshan Water Margin as an Example

Folklore is an important carrier to show local culture and express people’s emotions in the way of oral transmission.Tradition holds that folklore loses its vitality without oral narration.However,it is difficult to find the traditional context of telling and disseminating folklore only by word of mouth.More often,under the impetus of multiple contexts and different forces,folklore in multiple media is widely spread through mutual reference and integration.The current situation of the water Margin theory circulating in Liangshan area is enough to illustrate this point.Water Margin has a very long history of inheritance,from government officials to ordinary people,under the influence of different media,dissemination and inheritance,become a rich local cultural capital.In the current social development context,the spread of the outlaws of the Marsh is no longer a simple word of mouth.The emergence of high-tech means such as Television and the Internet,as well as the promotion of cultural tourism,has reconstructed the legend of the contemporary water Margin figures.In the process of the reconstruction of the local legend of the water margin in Liangshan,the joint efforts of national forces and market factors have promoted the blending and exchange of three different levels of literature,such as elite literature dominated by the legend of the water margin,popular literature represented by folk quyi and folk literature spread orally by the general public,forming a communication situation of mutual learning,mutual tolerance and interaction between elegance and customs.

Contemporary construction in historical sites:The missing factors

Historical sites(HSs)are akin to living entities,and their existence is perpetuated through the erection of new buildings or additions.Many HSs need sustainable development and new construction,as existing monuments fail to meet contemporary user requirements.Despite the urgent demand,many new buildings within HSs have been constructed without considering the influencing factors on contextual value,built,and natural environment.This oversight has led to irreversible damage to their historical value.Numerous studies have independently explored interventions,construction,and development within HSs.However,there is a conspicuous absence of comprehensive research that concurrently addresses these issues while preserving the intrinsic value of the HSs.This study aims to identify the variables and factors contributing to the successful design and construction of new buildings within HSs,satisfying user needs,conserving contextual values,and achieving sustainability with the natural and built environment.The research employs a mixed-method approach,gathering raw data through literature reviews,case studies,and expert interviews.The study population comprised 97 experts in architectural heritage conservation and sustainable development.Exploratory factor analysis was utilized for data analysis,leading to the identification of influential factors.The study highlights the significance of the location,function,scale,form,material,skyline,viewpoint,accessibility,reversibility,topography,sustainability,technology,structural system,lifespan,and interior design in constructing new buildings within a HS.Moreover,the design of new additions should adhere to five guiding principles:integrated design,volume design,green design,compatible design,and modern design.In this context,the new structures will fulfill user needs,preserve or enhance contextual values,and harmonize with the built and natural environment.

On the Contemporary Construction of the Chinese System of Academic Discourse

As an important academic issue, the contemporary construction of the Chinese system of academic discourse has attracted increasing attention in recent years. Questions needing further reflection and exploration are： What does the genesis and expansion of this topic actually mean？ Within what horizon can we reveal its fundamental nature and draw further conclusions？ What intellectual task will be presented to us in the course of fixing its direction？ An in-depth probe into these questions, that is, the core issue in the contemporary construction of the Chinese system of academic discourse, is how contemporary academic discourse can enter deep into the specific content ushered in by our historical practice, so that this content can be truly grasped intellectually and studied academically.

SPECIAL ISSUE： GLOBALIZATION AND CONTEMPORARY CHINESE CULTURAL CONSTRUCTION：Contemporary Chinese cultural construction and advanced culture

Advanced Chinese culture today has three interconnected requirements： a） it is an organic component of today＇s advanced world culture; b） it critically absorbs all the best elements of foreign cultures in an organic combination with the best elements of traditional Chinese culture; and c） it transcends the argument over ＂modernism＂ and ＂post-modernism.＂ From a world- historical perspective, all other necessary features of advanced culture in contemporary China represent the logical unfolding of these three requirements. A full and correct grasp of the three elements constituting the world-historicality of this advanced culture is of important methodological significance in clarifying the world-historical mode of the construction of contemporary Chinese culture and the path to cultural innovation.
