文摘Chengdu teahouses,as core public spaces in marketplace society,have undergone transformative reconstruction-from“containers of everyday life”to“containers of commercial traffic and digital flows”-during the process of modernization.Employing spatial archaeology as a methodology,combined with fieldwork and analysis of historical documents,this study systematically examines the diachronic evolution of architectural forms,functional orientations,and social networks within Chengdu teahouses.The study reveals the logic of spatial reconstruction under the interplay of multiple forces,including cultural heritage preservation,capital-driven development,and technological intervention.The findings identify three paradigms of spatial transformation in teahouses.First,heritage specimenization,which reinforces the continuity of collective memory through symbolic extraction but risks diminishing the vitality of everyday social interactions.Second,consumption upgrading,which caters to the demands of emerging groups through iterative business models yet necessitates vigilance against spatial differentiation eroding marketplace inclusivity.Third,digital parasitism,which expands communicative dimensions through technological empowerment but confronts the risk of flattening localized knowledge.These paradigms reflect both adaptive responses of traditional spaces to contemporary pressure and the tension of reconstruction imposed by instrumental rationality on marketplace networks.The study demonstrates that spatial transformation in Chengdu teahouses is not unidirectional alienation but rather a multifaceted configuration where the continuity of tradition coexists with innovative practices amid functional diversification.This research advocates for striking a balance between the preservation of traditional spaces and modern renewal and explores organic integration approaches for traditional and modern elements,thereby providing a theoretical framework and practical insights for the transformation of traditional public spaces.
文摘In recent years,the production-oriented approach has been applied in the field of teaching Chinese as a foreign language,providing a new perspective for language and cultural instruction.Currently,several issues exist in cultural teaching,such as the lack of in-depth cultural input,insufficient training in cross-cultural communication skills,and the over-stylization of cultural teaching in the classroom.The production-oriented approach offers a solution to these challenges.This paper seeks to introduce the production-oriented method into the teaching of Chinese culture as a foreign language,using silk culture as a case study for teaching design.The aim is to implement cultural teaching through a new instructional model and to promote the spread of Chinese silk culture.
文摘An earlier version of this paper has been presented online at the annual Conference of Canadian Sociological Association,during the Congress of Humanities and Social Sciences in Toronto in June 2025.It explores how rap music in Quebec,particularly through the work of the rap artist Webster and his collective Limoilou Starz(LS),serves as a tool for meaning-making,political expression,and resistance against racial profiling and police brutality experienced by Black youth in Quebec City.The study focuses on the song“SPVQ”(Service de police de la Ville de Québec)as a case study to analyze the encoding and reception of anti-racist messages within rap culture.Webster draws from a global tradition of socio-political rap-like that of African-American rappers KRS-One,LL Cool J,and Tupac-while anchoring his critique in the local realities of Limoilou,a marginalized,racially diverse district of Quebec City.Through a narrative,figurative,semantic,and ideological analysis of the song,the paper reveals how Webster articulates themes of police brutality,structural discrimination,economic marginalization,and resistance.The rapper’s message is both a form of testimony and a civic intervention.His broader activism is analyzed through ethnographic techniques-including participant observation and interviews during workshops,media appearances,and online campaigns.It translates these messages into tangible social practices.To explain the persistence of these injustices,the paper situates the issue within Quebec’s interculturalism framework,which ostensibly promotes dialogue and integration but often masks or even reinforces structural racism.This model maintains a symbolic majority/minority duality and conditions inclusion on conformity to a dominant White Francophone identity,thus rendering racialized youth as perpetual outsiders.

文摘Since the second half of the 20th century,the concept of global green development has gained increasing global attention,with the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature emerging as a critical issue.The cultural landscape of Jingmai Mountain old tea forest,as a typical representative of ecological wisdom in agricultural civilization,showcases a sustainable practice in tea production and livelihood system.Employing a combination of field investigation and literature analysis,this study systematically examines the ecological wisdom of the“forest-tea coexistence”system in Jingmai Mountain from 5 dimensions:tea forest cultivation,land use,village construction,residential buildings,and ethnic culture.The results indicate that Jingmai Mountain has established an integrated system of“ecological technology-spatial planning-cultural institution”for synergistic development:a multi-layered planting structure and vertical gradient development mode have enabled efficient resource utilization;The village layout of“Following the mountain terrain and close to the tea forest”and the climate-adaptive architecture reflect the harmonious unity of living environment and the natural environment;the belief in“Tea Spirit”and community-based governance mechanism ensure the institutionalization and sustainability of ecological protection.This system transforms traditional ecological knowledge into modern practices,providing important reference for the protection of agricultural cultural heritage and serving as a model for ecological protection and rural revitalization in the context of global green development.

文摘The Bashu region is not only the cultural center of southwestern China but also an important cultural corridor for the interaction among various ethnic groups.Under the influence of multi-ethnic interactions,geographical conditions,and historical changes,its music culture has developed a distinct characteristic of symbiotic integration,reflecting a cultural pattern of“diversity within unity.”Bashu music not only inherits the aesthetic system of Han culture but also deeply incorporates musical elements from minority ethnic groups,such as Tibetan,Qiang,Yi,and Miao.It showcases cultural characteristics that are diverse in tone,variable in rhythm,and complex in musical form.Music,as a medium of cultural identity,reflects the inclusiveness and sustainability of Bashu culture.In the context of globalization,studying Bashu music culture from the perspective of musical geography not only helps enhance our understanding of the Bashu music culture integration mechanism but also provides a theoretical reference for the holistic study of China’s multi-ethnic music culture.This research holds significant practical importance for the construction of ethnic cultural identity,the protection of intangible cultural heritage,and cultural exchanges in the context of the Belt and Road Initiative.
