Abstract: Most of the world has entered the digital age. More than half of the world's population used the internet in 2019 (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development [UNCTAD] 2021, 13), and the internet penetration rate in China reached 71.6 percent (China Internet Network Information Center [CNNIC] 2021, 1). Since the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2019, travel has been restricted and online demand has increased (UNCTAD 2021, 17), and it is important for museums to offer more online services (Rimol 2020; Voges 2021). Not only to cope with the pandemic, but also to maintain museums' long-term growth, how to continuously provide quality services has been a common question faced by museums (Rowley 1999, 303; Brida ...

Abstract: Stele inscriptions refer to stone slabs or pillars engraved with characters. Dating back to the early Qin dynasty (221–207 BCE), ancient Chinese stele inscriptions developed during the dynasties that follow the Western Han dynasty (206 BCE–24 CE) through the Qing dynasty (1644–1911), and finally to the Republic of China (1912–1949). Covering a history of over two thousand years, they are great in number, various in form, and wide in geographic placement. Ancient Chinese stele inscriptions have been established as one of the most important carriers for preserving the calligraphy and recording the historical data of ancient China (Wang 2015, 1). Our ancestors believed that "metal and stone will last forever," thus ... Read More PubDate: 2024-05-23T00:00:00-05:00
