China in a Bumpy Way to Restitute Lost Cultural Property

At a special sale on the collection of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge held in Paris on February 25, in spite of repeated negotiations from the Chinese Government and strong protests from the Chinese people, Christie＇s, a world-famous auction giant, auctioned the rat head and rabbit head which were looted from China＇s royal garden＂Yuanmingyuan＂ in 1860 by the British and French Allied Forces. The two bronze heads were eventually sold for 14 million euro each. This shameful sale has again triggered out reflections on the restitution of cultural property looted or stolen from China.

Cultural clusters and cultural industries in China

Through examining the development and the nature of the new cultural districts in China, namely, “clusters of Beijing,” this paper attempts to identify the characteristics of, and critically evaluate, the existing models of culture clusters in China. Obviously, these cultural clusters are seen as a united and state effort to assist, develop and boost the so-called cultural industries, including game, animation, comic, software, science and technology and so forth. However, with the clusters of Beijing as a case study, in this paper we argue that in the course of development, the state interests and the authorities' local (e.g. district) interest are often prioritized over the culture or the local interest. There are also tensions and contradictions among various interest groups on different levels of operations of these cultural clusters. In sum, apart from enhancing the private creative industries, developing the national cultural economy, or revitalizing the old industries as in the cluster models of many western countries, economic interests, political powers of the districts and soft power of the nation can be the overriding interests behind the booming cultural clusters in China.     

希腊与中国古代星辰神话的文化比较

古代希腊和中国天文学对星空世界都有"星座"或"星官"的命名,希腊"星座"命名完全取材于神话中的人物、动物,中国"星官"命名却全来源于人间万物和社会组织.希腊每一个"星座"背后都包含一段美丽曲折的神话故事,中国"星官"背后反映的多是帝王将相的历史,神话色彩极为淡薄.这种差异反映了两个民族神话起源早晚的差别和文化主流意识之异趣.

由人到神:陈元光形象变迁的文化解读

在世界文化史上,“圣化”是一种常见而独特的文化现象。说其常见,是因为几乎每一种文化都有自己的圣人;说其独特,是因为每一种文化造就圣人的原因和途径各不相同。在中国历史上,“圣人”最初是用来称颂那些聪明睿智、道德高尚的人。因此,圣人本质上也是普通人中的一个,虽然他有优秀的一面,但也难免会有一些不足。但是,随着时间的推进,其人格逐渐被升华,人们不仅尊敬他,而且开始膜拜祭祀,希望能得到他的保佑。这时,圣人实际上已经被神格化,有了神的特点和秉性。开漳圣王陈元光就是这样一个例子。在历史发展过程中,他的形象实际上经历了人—王…
