Tourism-Oriented Cultural Product Design: A Case Study of Yami Culture in Lanyu

Due to the prevalence of modern commerce and mainstream culture, many indigenous cultures around the world are rapidly diminishing. These cultures, with their unique primitiveness distinct from modern culture, often attract tourists. This study integrates the indigenous Yami culture of Lanyu Island, Taiwan Region, into innovative designs from the perspective of tourists’ understanding of the local culture. In this way, tourists can experience the harmonious coexistence of the Yami tribe and nature, while these culturally rich products foster deeper experiential and emotional resonance. This study employs the Mandala thinking method for concept expansion and the Osborn checklist method for the analysis and transformation of design elements. Subsequently, designers were invited to conduct on-site travel experiences, leading to the creation of a series of Yami cultural products. Through the evaluation and validation of cultural product assessment indicators, functional commercialized products were ultimately produced. This study aims to establish a design process for cultural products through this design case. It seeks to help users recall their Lanyu Island travel experiences and appreciate the often-overlooked cultural beauty, thereby raising awareness of cultural preservation.

The Value Insistence of the Cultural Production in the Big Data Era

The ultimate value of cultural production should be realizing human's comprehensive and free development,and deconstructing the ultimate value would result in human alienation.In the era of big data,every domain of human's social life,even the mode of thinking,has been transformed significantly.However,when the big data technology entirely penetrates the field of cultural production especially inducts the cultural production depending on the demand forecasting techniques,it would inevitably lead to a worry about value of the cultural production.This paper formulates that the cultural production's essence in the era of big data remains for the purpose of maximizing profit of commercial manipulation based on the modeling analysis of cultural production mechanism in the big data times.If the tendency is not corrected,the two main factors of cultural consumerism prevalence and the instrumental reason dictatorship will gradually deconstruct the ultimate value of cultural production and bring about the alienation of human being.For the sake of avoiding the trend,we should cope with two relationships:one is the people as a means and as a purpose;the other is the instrumental reason and the value rationality,finally giving rise to human's comprehensive and free development rather than human alienation.

Tri-Engine Structure and Industrial Composition of Cultural Productivity

Cultural industry is an important practical link to cultural productivity.In China,the cultural industry is represented by three patterns due to the reliance upon different means of production during its course of development:traditional cultural industry,modern cultural industry,and eco-tech cultural industry.Different types of cultural industries differ a lot in terms of labor productivity and return on investment.The multi-engine structure and the diverse industrial categories of China’s cultural industry imply that cultural productivity is not developed evenly in the country.Therefore,the future-oriented cultural development should be geared to stimulate and maintain the vitality of culture to the greatest extent,while adhering to the overall development orientation based on the market,science and technology,creativity,and differentiation.

A novel 3-layer mixed cultural evolutionary optimization framework for optimal operation of syngas production in a Texaco coal-water slurry gasifier

Optimizing operational parameters for syngas production of Texaco coal-water slurry gasifier studied in this paper is a complicated nonlinear constrained problem concerning 3 BP(Error Back Propagation) neural networks. To solve this model, a new 3-layer cultural evolving algorithm framework which has a population space, a medium space and a belief space is firstly conceived. Standard differential evolution algorithm(DE), genetic algorithm(GA), and particle swarm optimization algorithm(PSO) are embedded in this framework to build 3-layer mixed cultural DE/GA/PSO(3LM-CDE, 3LM-CGA, and 3LM-CPSO) algorithms. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed hybrid algorithms are firstly tested in 20 benchmark nonlinear constrained functions. Then, the operational optimization model for syngas production in a Texaco coal-water slurry gasifier of a real-world chemical plant is solved effectively. The simulation results are encouraging that the 3-layer cultural algorithm evolving framework suggests ways in which the performance of DE, GA, PSO and other population-based evolutionary algorithms(EAs) can be improved,and the optimal operational parameters based on 3LM-CDE algorithm of the syngas production in the Texaco coalwater slurry gasifier shows outstanding computing results than actual industry use and other algorithms.

The Impact of Cultural and Creative Products Arising from Intangible Cultural Heritage on Economic Development:A Case Study of Ebian County,China

With the promotion of the rural revitalization strategy,cultural and creative industries of tourism have gradually become an important driving force for rural revitalization.Since the economic level of minority areas is low and the concept of industrial development lags behind,developing the cultural and creative industries of tourism has a positive role in cultural revitalization and economic structure transformation.In recent years,Ebian Yi Autonomous County(Ebian County)has relied on rich intangible cultural heritage resources and achieved fruitful results in the development of cultural and creative products of rural tourism,adding vitality to its rural tourism and rural revitalization.Starting from the economy and the development of cultural and creative industries empowered by intangible cultural heritage(ICH),this study analyzed the impact of related cultural and creative products of Ebian County on its economic development in the five-year period from 2018 to 2022 by means of qualitative and quantitative research methods.Three main conclusions could be drawn.(1)The impact of intangible cultural heritage cultural and creative industries of Ebian County on the economy has been positive and expanding gradually with time.(2)The number of inheritors and workshops,and the business income of workshops are the three major factors affecting the development of cultural and creative industries.(3)Ebian already has a good foundation of cultural and creative industries of intangible cultural heritage,so the investment of funds and training of talents have played a major role in promoting the development of cultural and creative industries of intangible cultural heritage.

Chinese Culture Products in International Culture Mobility

When mobility becomes the new normal for behavior and cognition, it's time to rethink international culture mobility and culture products. Singular thinking on mobility and culture products, staying at the level of economy and trade has affected our decision making with respect to culture product innovation and possible thinking on future value creation. Indian anthropologist Arjun Appadurai divides cross-border culture mobility into five global spaces and Stephen Greenblatt, literature historian with Harvard University, puts forward five dimensions of culture mobility that provide a direction for fully understanding international culture mobility. In the era of globalization, rethinking the concept of a nation's culture products means studies of generational possibilities and the vitality of the Chinese culture products from perspectives of immigration, technology, economy, culture and politics among the new context of international culture mobility.

Cultural Awareness＇ Functions in Chinese Learners＇ English Acquisition --An Analysis through the Way of Signal-processing

The significance of cultural awareness in foreign language learning is an issue that earns hot discussion in the both fields of linguistics and instructional science. Being different from others, the observing angle in this paper lies in how the signal is processed. The four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing are classified, by ways of signal processing, into two categorizes, namely receptive skills to which listening and reading belong, and productive skills to which speaking and writing belong. By analyzing the signal processing progress occurred in each of the four skills, the author is to argue the functions of cultural awareness in each of these four skills, in order to reinforce the importance of emphasizing cultural awareness in the new standards for English in China.

Culture Dynamics across the World Today:Tourism and the Palette of Imagination

In general,this manuscript critiques the contemporary dynamisms of the formation/deformation of the cultural sphere under the increased mobilisations of globalization.In particular,it inspects the symphysis[□SYMPHYSIS]between'tourism'and'culture',where the latter stands as an immense portmanteau phenomenon embracing many different things(under the vicissitudes of globalisation/glocalisation)across the protean realms of race,gender,entertainment,consumerism,meaning-making,et cetera.Critiquing Jamal and Robinson's recent attempt at panoramic coverage of the geography of tourism/tourism studies),it argues that tourism is regularly implicated in cultural practices relating to power-exercises in/across society.Then,in synthesising Bauman’s vision of contemporary society as that moving from seemingly well-ordered stabilities to a geographic realm where change is the-only-permanence and uncertainty the-only-certainty,the manuscript generates five lead propositions calling for'plural knowability',viz.,for a deeper/richer palette-of-imagination on the teeming multiplicities and throbbing provisionalities of culture as it emerges/unfolds or otherwise gets recast under the destabilising'nomadic logics'of our time.In viewing culture as a vehicle of both'impermanence'and'seduction'nowadays,the paper notes how in so many places and spaces,individuals are less inclined to be engaged locally/regionally/nationally as culture-partly through the volatile iterability of travel/tourism-has become an ever-widening polylogue.

A Socialist Satire： Manhua Magazine and Political Cartoon Production in the PRC, 1950-1960

In June 1950, Manhua magazine published its first issue in Shanghai. Until its closure in 1960, it remained the only national publication dedicated solely to the popularization and discussion of political cartoons. Terse cartoons were needed to promote the numerous mass campaigns initiated by the new government, remind readers of the continuing battle against enemies of the new Communist state, and rally the people in support of a new military conflict developing on the Korean peninsula. This article discusses key moments in the institutional history of Manhua and its artists. The magazine, I argue, played a crucial but often overlooked role in the contest over the form and content of popular cartooning in the first decade of CCP rule. In such, it was the satirical counterpart to the ever more popular lianhuanhua （serial comics）. Cartoonists believed their art might contribute to establishing socialism through well-intentioned and constructive criticism. This, however, did not harmonize with the increasingly fervent control mechanisms of the party-state＇s cultural bureaucracy. The history of Manhua magazine is therefore an example of the expanding political supervision of the popular arts throughout the 1950s. At the same time it is a study of an art that, though popular and political, never won the same political acclaim as its counterpart, lianhuanhua.

Delignification of disposable wooden chopsticks waste for fermentative hydrogen production by an enriched culture from a hot spring

Hydrogen （H2） production from lignocellulosic materials may be enhanced by removing lignin and increasing the porosity of the material prior to enzymatic hydrolysis. Alkaline pretreatment conditions, used to delignify disposable wooden chopsticks （DWC） waste, were investigated. The effects of NaOH concentration, temperature and retention time were examined and it was found that retention time had no effect on lignin removal or carbohydrate released in enzymatic hydrolysate. The highest percentage of lignin removal （41%） was obtained with 2% NaOH at 100℃, correlated with the highest carbohydrate released （67 mg/gpretreated DWC） in the hydrolysate. An enriched culture from a hot spring was used as inoculum for fermentative H2 production, and its optimum initial pH and temperature were determined to be 7.0 and 50℃, respectively. Furthermore, enzymatic hydrolysate from pretreated DWC was successfully demonstrated as a substrate for fermentative H2 production by the enriched culture. The maximum H2 yield and production rate were achieved at 195 mL H2/g total sugarsconsumed and 1 16 mL Hz/（L.day）, respectively.

A Loaded Label:Intricacies of Being a Fan in Henrik and Sara Linden's Fans and Fan Cultures

In Fans and Fan Cultures,Henrik and Sara Linden examine what it means to be a fan in an increasingly globalized,digitized,and capitalized world.In an age when personal information is easily searchable in the Internet era,people can now become fans immediately with the click of a"like,""follow,"or"subscribe"button.The ideal fan is not an obsessive fanatic who claims ownership of the product,but rather one who is balanced and has a following of their own,thus making them not only a fan,but also an influencer and a brand advocate.As worldwide media is largely controlled by an exclusive number of corporations that determine what kind of media we consume,fandom and fan communities offer a compromise:Though corporations and brands shape and control the majority of media content,fandom serves as an opportunity for people with shared interests to come together,forge connections,and find a sense of value and belonging that exists outside the mundane.My analysis will concentrate on a selection of Linden and Linden's topics and explore how fandom has become a manifestation of the need for authentic,meaningful connections in a time when technological development effectively renders authenticity as a bargaining chip in a much larger marketing ploy.
