Historical Landscape Preservation along Beijing Central Axis: A Case Study
of Yongdingmen Gate Reconstruction
- Abstract: This paper examines the reconstruction of Yongdingmen Gate as an aspect of restoring the historical landscape of the Beijing Central Axis, a 7.8-kilometer-long urban axis that has shaped Beijing’s cityscape for over 700 years. The reconstruction of Yongdingmen Gate along the Central Axis, demolished in the 1950s, is a key initiative to restore the continuity of the Central Axis and preserve its historical integrity. This study explores the justification behind the reconstruction, focusing on how it aims to revive the historical landscape and ensure the Central Axis’s coherence as a cultural and spatial entity. The research addresses the challenges and debates surrounding the reconstruction, including its alignment with UNESCO World Heritage criteria and its role in conveying China’s historical and cultural narratives. The paper concludes with reflections on the implications of this reconstruction for urban planning and heritage conservation and suggests future research directions to enhance understanding and practices in these fields.

Research on the Relationship between the Lotus Cave Art Village and
Population Mobility
- Abstract: Rural revitalization has emerged as a key strategic initiative in the new era, with population mobility playing a crucial role in shaping rural development. This study focuses on the art-driven revitalization of Lotus Cave Village, where the interplay between art and the countryside has created a synergistic relationship: art enriches the countryside, and the countryside, in turn, revitalizes art. The research aims to explore the dynamics of population mobility within this context, examining the characteristics and motivations that drive such movement. Through an analysis of the village’s artistic transformation, the study uncovers how population mobility influences and supports rural art initiatives. The findings highlight the role of population mobility in facilitating rural art, and the paper concludes by proposing strategies for the protection and sustainable development of Lotus Cave Art Village, with a focus on leveraging population mobility to enhance cultural preservation and rural vitality.

The Development of Overseas Corporate Culture of Chinese Bank in the Qing
Dynasty: A Case Study of Heshengyuan
- Abstract: The Heshengyuan (合盛元) Bank is a paradigmatic example of the Shanxi merchants (晋商) during the Qing Dynasty. Established in the early 19th century, the bank actively expands its domestic operations and takes the initiative to extend its services eastward. It establishes branches and subsidiaries in Korea and Japan, engaging in financial transactions. During its overseas expansion, the firm develops an innovative corporate culture that includes the following elements: a proactive approach to business expansion and the exploration of international financial territories; an astute awareness of customer demands, with a business strategy oriented towards market needs; and a policy of prioritizing the employment of young executives and the hiring of expatriate personnel. These culturally open and progressive corporate values facilitate Heshengyuan’s significant commercial influence within the East Asian region and bequeath a legacy of corporate ethos that serves as a valuable reference for subsequent generations.

Dynamic Forces in Xu Beihong’s “Ba Ren Ji Shui”: Analyzing the
Aesthetics of Shi in Republic of China Literati Painting
- Abstract: This study explores the artistic qualities of shi (internal energy) within Xu Beihong’s depiction of the working class, guided by the principles of traditional Chinese aesthetics. Focusing on the painting Ba Ren Ji Shui (Sichuan Folks Drawing Water from the River), the analysis examines how shi—alongside elements of nature, qi (vital energy), and emotion—interacts within the structural and thematic composition of the artwork. Xu Beihong’s application of shi not only reveals deep emotional resonance but also integrates qi into the broader Chinese aesthetic tradition, creating a harmonious and dynamic expression of life. His paintings embody the unity of nature and humanity, capturing both the physical and spiritual essence of the Chinese people’s perseverance and resistance during times of hardship. By synthesizing traditional aesthetics with modern realism, Xu Beihong’s work transcends mere visual representation, reflecting the inner vitality and indomitable spirit of the Chinese people in the face of adversity.

Love is Glorious: The Analysis of Emotional Education Culture of Film
“To Our Youth That Is Fading Away”
- Abstract: About the educational films, most of the existing studies in academia and culture are based on the construction of theoretical perspectives, or the discussion of the narrative content and the transformation of themes of a certain genre, but there is a lack of important educational issues based on the analysis of film texts. As a popular narrative genre of educational films in China since the beginning of this century, “youth narrative” has a wide range of communication audiences, but for the audience, there is a need for more in-depth discussion of its educational meaning. Therefore, it is necessary to select typical case of “youth film” in China, describe the emotional education in detail, and try to put forward the theoretical category of “emotional education culture”, to show that for teenagers, the complex, mutual, reverberative and dislocated relationship of emotional space poses a great challenge to education.

Study on the Protection and Transmission of Intangible Cultural Heritage
in Dimen Village: An Analysis Based on Field Surveys and Ecomuseum Daily
Records
- Abstract: This study explores the current state of protection and transmission of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) in Dimen Village, Liping County, Guizhou Province. Through an analysis of field surveys and records from the Dimen ecomuseum, we found that although certain cultural heritage items receive high recognition from the government, their activity levels and transmission within the village do not directly correlate with this recognition. Cultural heritage projects closely related to daily life and easy to participate in, such as embroidery, traditional handmade paper, and the Dong Grand Song, are more thriving than those that receive national policy support or have commercial demand. This paper analyzes the seasonal characteristics, gender distribution, participation numbers, and implementation spaces of 13 intangible cultural heritage skills, providing new perspectives and suggestions for future cultural heritage protection and transmission strategies.

Basic Concepts of the Yin-Yang Story and Five-Element Doctrine and Their
Implications in Business
- Abstract: This paper explores the fundamental principles of the Yin-Yang story and the five-element doctrine, both of which have their roots in ancient Chinese culture—one of the oldest continuous civilizations in the world. These philosophical concepts have profoundly influenced the Chinese people throughout their history, shaping their mentality, business practices, and social pursuits. The aim of this paper is to examine how the dualistic nature of Yin and Yang, representing opposing yet interconnected forces, and the five-element doctrine, categorizing the physical world into the elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, continue to impact modern business strategies and decision-making processes in China. Through a detailed analysis, this paper reveals the complex relationships of unification, opposition, interdependence, mutual consumption, and transformation inherent in these philosophies. The findings demonstrate how these ancient doctrines still play a vital role in contemporary Chinese thought, offering valuable insights for global business interactions and contributing to the enrichment of the world’s cultural heritage.

Residential Hollowing and Its Drivers in Traditional Chinese Villages:
Case Study of Wentang Village, Anhui Province
- Abstract: This study investigates the vacancy of traditional dwellings in Wentang Village, Qimen County, Anhui Province, China, and explores the underlying mechanisms driving the phenomenon of hollowing out. Through field surveys, interviews, and data analysis, the study reveals that the vacancy rate of traditional dwellings in Wentang Village is as high as 73%, compared to a significantly lower rate of 18.4% for newly built houses. The findings indicate that the hollowing out of the village is driven by factors such as urbanization, shifts in agricultural production methods, and changes in family structures. The study concludes that residents have experienced a phased migration from traditional dwellings to newly built houses and subsequently to urban residences. This transition is accompanied by increasing connections between villages and cities, as well as a decline in agricultural activities, which is pushing rural labor towards non-agricultural employment.
