Discourse and Action: Female Players Resistance Against Gender Inequality in Games Through Social Media
Authors: Li Zhirou
Published: October 2023

In patriarchal gaming culture, female gamers have limited space for discourse. The establishment of the Female Gamers Association provides a new channel for female gamers to resist male hegemony in both games and reality through game sharing and discourse criticism. Therefore, this paper tries to explore how female gamers confront male discourses and build their identities through a series of discursive practices around games and gender on social media. This paper analyzes the posts from the Female Gamers Association group on the social media platform Douban and uses online ethnography for further observation. The study finds that although female gamers have formed a new discursive space and resisted the mainstream gaming environment by creating their own communities, there are still limitations to this resistance, and the active resistance of female gamers also contains elements of passive submission. The study of the Female Gamers Association provides a clearer understanding of the complexities of female gamers in a male-dominated virtual space and their agency in the face of pressure.

Authors: Liu Yixuan
Published: October 2023

The advancement of science and technology affects how people interact culturally. More and more works of art today have mysticism as their central theme. Mysticism has not disappeared from the publics consciousness despite the fact that there are more and more materialists today. Religious activities grew more common as the Middle Ages emerged in the West, playing a significant role in history.

Through the analysis of both ancient and contemporary mystic art as well as historical documents, the author will examine the impact of mysticism on human art. Based on such information, this research has revealed that numerous ideologies and creative expressions from the mysticism of the past have impacted a lot of modern art.

Integration of Chinese and Western Art in Late Ming Dynasty: Imitation and Innovation with Wu Bin as an Example
Authors: Hua Jianing
Published: October 2023

The late Ming Dynasty witnessed an art exchange between two distinct civilizations, the East and the West, which served as a microcosm of globalized art history in China. In the context of numerous Western religious paintings introduced to China by Jesuit missionaries during the late Ming Dynasty, whether Chinese artists who painted in ink at the time borrowed Western painting techniques in their paintings has become a subject of discussion among contemporary scholars. To further explain the integration triggered by this artistic exchange, the research analyses the attitudes of Ming society towards foreign painting. Furthermore, the study conducts the visual comparison methodology to identify the elements of Western painting that were incorporated into Chinese painting during this period, centering on the works of artist Wu Bin (1550-1643) and employing specific information as corroborative substantiation. The results of the study indicate that late Ming society did not exhibit overt animosity towards Western art and that Wu Bins paintings contain discernible Western painting inspirations. Yet, these factors did not impede the prevalence of indigenous artistic and aesthetic inclinations in his oeuvre.

Authors: Gao Songyue
Published: October 2023

As a traditional Chinese folk art that often appears during important festivals or commercial activities, the cultural value and influence of the lion dance is very far-reaching. In the past 20 years, with the rapid development of society, the protection and inheritance of traditional Chinese culture have become a top priority on the road to preserving historical memory, and the lion dance culture popular in southern China and Southeast Asia, like many other traditional Chinese cultures, is facing the challenge of how to continue passing on. By reviewing the materials, this study learned that there is a lion dance cultural hall in Wuzhou, Guangxi, which has a history of nearly 200 years - Bilin Tang, which has received the support of the Wuzhou Municipal Government to deliberately establish the first professional lion dance major in the Tengxian Secondary School. Out of a desire to gain a clearer understanding of the current status of the preservation and inheritance of this traditional Chinese culture, the author finally contacted Mr. Zhong Dao Ren, the current director of Bilin Tang, and with his support, the author went to Tengxian Secondary School to interview in person. The author communicated with Mr. Deng and the students of the lion dance troupe and obtained a lot of valuable information and materials. Meanwhile, the author conducted more in-depth research under the guidance of Professor Bradd Shore at Emory University, resulting in this paper. The inheritance of the lion dance culture encounters not only the problems of funding, government support, and motivation for an inheritance but also the problem of how to make the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture and the development of the trend of the times mutually integrate into the current social context. To avoid the extinction of traditional Chinese folk art like the Southern Lion culture, it is necessary to attract more attention and resonate the interest of young people in such culture. Only the organic integration of traditional culture with modern elements can be an effective means for the long-term survival of traditional Chinese culture.

Encoding and Decoding: Mapping Social Value Shifts and Social Contexts in Hong Kong Crime Films
Authors: Dong Zhaoyang
Published: October 2023

Since the 1980s, Hong Kong film has had a wide impact on the world. Amongst this, crime films take a salient position. It results from the strong artistic tension within the production of crime films itself, and on the other hand, it provides us with rich material for studying the changing socio-cultural context of Hong Kong. The creation and dissemination of art is both a process of coding for the creator and a process of coding for the social context, a process that involves both the personal expression of the creator and inevitably the shaping of cultural codes by ideology. Since A Better Tomorrow, Hong Kong crime films, as a category of films closely connected to social reality, have had a significant impact in responding to social issues. The main content of Hong Kong crime films also has a strong role in shaping social contexts and influencing audiences perceptions in a subtle way. Therefore, in the process of creation, apart from thinking about the artistry of the films, the impact on the shaping of social perceptions of the films also needs to be taken into consideration.

Data used in the article all come from the Global Chinese Interlanguage Corpus, which has been sifted carefully to make them better adapted to the research objective. Errors in de structures are categorized into five different types based on the ways surface structures are altered. The characteristics of each error type are given by the description and correction of example sentences. Two mechanisms are given as the possible explanation for the roots of errors in de structures: L1 transfer and overgeneralization. The contrastive analysis between Korean, English and Chinese explains the occurrence of serval types of errors, and some erroneous sentences created by CSL learners also confirm the existence of overgeneralization.

Exploring the Relationship Between King's Authority and Religious Beliefs in Liangzhu Culture Through Analysis of the Divine Emblem
Authors: Xue Yunqi
Published: October 2023

Since the successful inscription of an ancient city, the capital of the Liangzhu culture, in 2019, this archaeological culture has become one of the most robust evidence of the 5,000-year history of Chinese civilisation. This paper presents a unique study of the kings power and religious beliefs of the Liangzhu culture, based on the most important symbol of the culture, the divine emblem of half-human and half-animal, in conjunction with the available archaeological data.
The study found that the divine emblem was a unity between nature and society and was carved on a jade ritual tool system, mainly jade cong (a pillar-shaped jade vessel), as a carrier of the beliefs of the Liangzhu ancestors. At the same time, relying on the divine emblem and the jade ritual system, the Liangzhu culture had a more mature class stratification, with the highest ruling group, the nobles, and the commoners, respectively. Moreover, the monarchs of Liangzhu controlled peoples beliefs by possessing jade vessels and performing rituals, thus consolidating their class and efficiently invocating productive capacity. Finally, the paper argues that the political system of Liangzhu society was a theocracy, which allowed for efficient centralised rule in the unity of faith.
This paper examines the relationship between belief and king power in the Liangzhu culture, starting with its typical symbol of the divine emblem. It will be useful for the rest of the scholars to investigate further the religious beliefs and society of the Liangzhu culture.
