<p>Xu Xinwen: </p> <hr /> <div><br /> <br /> == '''Zongzi''' ==<br /> <br /> Gao Xiaoqing<br /> <br /> Zongzi is a traditional food in China and an integral part of the Dragon Boat Festival customs. Typically it is made from glutinous rice and various fillings with the bamboo or reed leaves. Zongzi carries a rich history—most famously tied to the commemoration of the great poet Qu Yuan. Beyond being a delicious delicacy, zongzi has become a cultural symbol of China, cherished by people both domestically and internationally, allowing more to appreciate the allure of Chinese traditional cuisine and culture. The food has a rich history, most famously linked to the poet Qu Yuan. More than just tasty food, it's become a symbbol of Chinese culture. It is popular both in China and abroad and helps people discover the beauty of Chinese traditions.<br /> <br /> '''Origins and Evolution'''<br /> <br /> Zongzi's history dates back to the Spring and Autumn period. Legend tells of Qu Yuan, a Chu state minister who drowned himself on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Grieving locals rowed boats and threw rice balls and eggs into the river, hoping to distract fish from his body —— the origin of both zongzi and dragon boat racing.<br /> Over time, zongzi developed distinct regional styles. The Northern one usually have pyramid shapes with sweet fillings such as dates or red bean paste. The southern one offer more vareity in both shape and taste, includig long or round ones with savory ingredients like salted egg yolks, pork, and mushroom. These differences show China rich food culture across different areas.<br /> <br /> '''Production Process'''<br /> <br /> The priduction process of Zongzi is fun and easy! First, soak rice and prepare your favorite fillings. Then wrap everything in bamboo leaves and tie them up. Finally, boil or steam them until cooked.<br /> Zongzi offers a cultural feast for all senses. Its soft texture and variety of flavors please every taste, while its beautiful shapes and colors delight the eyes.<br /> <br /> '''Cultural Significance'''<br /> <br /> Zongzi is much more than just food —— it's full of cultural meaning. To begin with, it stands for family togetherness. For example, when families make and eat zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival, they're celebrating their bond.<br /> Moreover, zongzi honors Qu Yuan, China's famous patriotic poet. In fact, eating zongzi keeps his story and spirit alive even today.<br /> Finally, zongzi represents good luck and harvests. People eat them during the farming season hoping for a good year ahead. Additionally, different colors have special meanings —— red zongzi bring happiness, while green ones stand for new beginnings.<br /> <br /> '''The Modern Significance of Zongzi'''<br /> <br /> In modern society, zongzi has become more than just a traditional festival food. It now serves as an important cultural symbol and a representation of national identity. When the Dragon Boat Festival approaches, Chinese people both in China and abroad prepare or purchase zongzi to celebrate. Eating zongzi is no longer simply about enjoying food, but rather a way to express love for Chinese culture and continue its traditions.<br /> At the same time, zongzi has become an important part of tourism and economic development. Many places now hold zongzi cultural festivals and other events that attract visitors to see and taste different varieties. These activities not only bring economic benefits to local areas, but also help preserve and promote traditional culture in new and vibrant ways.<br /> The modernization of zongzi shows how traditional customs can adapt to contemporary life while maintaining their cultural value. Through these developments, zongzi continues to play a meaningful role in connecting people to Chinese heritage.<br /> <br /> '''Terms and Expressions'''<br /> <br /> Zongzi 粽子<br /> Glutinous rice 饭团<br /> Mung Bean Zongzi 绿豆粽<br /> Red Bean Zongzi 红豆粽<br /> <br /> '''Questions'''<br /> <br /> 1.

<p>Xu Xinwen: </p> <hr /> <div>='''The Chinese Zodiac'''=<br /> <br /> 202470081622 Xu Xinwen<br /> <br /> The Chinese Zodiac, a distinctive symbol of traditional Chinese culture(Wu Yucheng,2018), operates on a twelve-year cycle, with each year corresponding to one of the twelve Earthly Branches and represented by an animal: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. This cultural phenomenon has a long history and permeates various aspects of folk beliefs, literature, art, and daily life, profoundly shaping the spiritual world and behavioral patterns of the Chinese people. <br /> <br /> =='''Origins and Development'''==<br /> <br /> The origins of the Chinese Zodiac remain debated in academic circles, with multiple theories proposed. One prominent view is the totem worship theory(Yang, 1961). In primitive societies, totemism was widespread, with tribes often adopting specific animals as symbols and protective deities. Over time, these animals evolved into zodiac signs. For example, the Yi people revered the tiger as their totem, which may have influenced the inclusion of the Tiger in the zodiac. Another theory is the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches system(Loewe，1994), suggesting that the zodiac originated from the twelve Earthly Branches. As early as the Shang Dynasty, China employed a numerical system combining the ten Heavenly Stems and twelve Earthly Branches, eventually pairing twelve animals with the Earthly Branches to form the zodiac calendar. Folktales, such as &quot;The Rat Tricking the Cat&quot; and &quot;The Great Zodiac Race,&quot; though lacking historical evidence, reflect popular interpretations of the zodiac's order. <br /> <br /> Historically, records of the Chinese Zodiac have evolved. The Lunheng by Wang Chong of the Eastern Han Dynasty provides a relatively complete account of the zodiac, indicating its established system by that time(Wang Chong, 2010). Across different dynasties, the representation and cultural significance of the zodiac varied. Ancient artworks, such as Tang Dynasty bronze mirrors adorned with intricate zodiac motifs, showcase the era's artistic excellence and societal aesthetics. Over time, the zodiac became deeply intertwined with folk beliefs, seasonal festivals, and life rituals, emerging as a vital component of cultural traditions. <br /> <br /> =='''Cultural Connotations'''==<br /> <br /> Each animal in the Chinese Zodiac carries unique symbolism. The Rat symbolizes wit and resilience, thriving in human environments despite its small size. The Ox represents diligence and endurance, revered in agrarian societies for its role in farming. The Tiger embodies bravery and authority, often associated with power. The Rabbit signifies gentleness and agility, admired for its charm. The Dragon, a totem of the Chinese nation, symbolizes nobility, auspiciousness, and strength, reflecting ancient creativity. The Snake conveys mystery and wisdom but also carries negative connotations due to its cold-blooded nature. The Horse stands for energy and progress, vital in ancient transportation and warfare. The Goat represents kindness and harmony, with its cultural value highlighted in the phrase &quot;the Goat signifies beauty.&quot; The Monkey symbolizes intelligence and playfulness, frequently featured in literature and art. The Rooster embodies punctuality and diligence, heralding the dawn. The Dog epitomizes loyalty, serving as a faithful companion. The Pig symbolizes abundance and fortune, its plump figure associated with prosperity. <br /> <br /> The Chinese Zodiac embodies profound philosophical ideas. It reflects the Chinese understanding of nature and life, linking humans and animals in a manner consistent with the philosophy of &quot;harmony between man and nature.&quot; （Needham，1956)The cyclical rotation of the twelve animals symbolizes the reincarnation of life and the passage of time, conveying themes of renewal and continuity. Additionally, the zodiac aligns with the Yin-Yang and Five Elements theory（Eberhard，1986), with each animal corresponding to specific elemental attributes (e.g., Rat and Pig belong to Water; Ox, Dragon, Goat, and Dog to Earth). This interplay reflects ancient beliefs about the interconnectedness of all things and the balance of opposing forces. <br /> <br /> =='''Inheritance and Innovation'''==<br /> <br /> In modern society, the Chinese Zodiac holds substantial commercial value. In advertising, zodiac imagery is widely used to captivate consumers. For instance, during the Lunar New Year, brands launch campaigns featuring the year's zodiac animal to enhance visibility. Cultural products, such as zodiac-themed stamps, coins, toys, and jewelry, are also popular, serving as vehicles for cultural transmission. <br /> <br /> Globalization has propelled the Chinese Zodiac onto the world stage. In international exchanges, it represents Chinese culture, attracting global interest. Museums abroad often feature zodiac exhibits to showcase China's cultural heritage. Social media platforms also amplify its reach, enabling broader cultural exchange. <br /> <br /> To adapt to modernity, the zodiac has undergone creative transformations. Artists reinterpret traditional zodiac motifs using contemporary techniques, producing abstract or exaggerated works that resonate with modern aesthetics. Educational institutions integrate zodiac culture into curricula through workshops and crafts, fostering cultural awareness among students. Emerging technologies like VR and AR are also leveraged to create interactive zodiac experiences, offering fresh avenues for cultural preservation（UNESCO，2016）. <br /> <br /> =='''International Dissemination and Influence'''==<br /> <br /> The international dissemination and influence of the Chinese zodiac reflect the cross-cultural communication power of Chinese culture and the global value of cultural symbols. The dissemination of the zodiac began with the ancient Silk Road and gradually expanded to East Asian countries through trade and cultural exchanges. In modern times, it has spread to Europe, America, and other regions with the migration of Chinese people. In the context of international cultural exchanges, the zodiac serves as a significant symbol of Chinese culture, becoming a crucial window to showcase the uniqueness of Chinese culture through art exhibitions and cultural festivals, thereby facilitating dialogue and understanding among different cultures. Meanwhile, the zodiac has also provided rich inspiration for cultural creation overseas, being widely applied in fields such as film, animation, and literature, and promoting the integration and innovation of diverse cultures.<br /> <br /> However, the differences in cultural backgrounds and the competition from the global diversification of cultures also pose challenges to the international dissemination of the zodiac. Some overseas audiences have misunderstandings about the cultural connotations of the zodiac, which affects its dissemination effectiveness. With the rapid development of digital technology, the zodiac culture has expanded its channels and improved its efficiency through new forms such as online exhibitions and virtual interactions.<br /> <br /> In the future, by optimizing dissemination strategies and combining modern technological means, the zodiac culture is expected to gain wider global recognition and dissemination, further strengthening its function as a bridge for cross-cultural communication and providing significant support for the international dissemination of Chinese culture.<br /> <br /> =='''References'''==<br /> <br /> [1]Eberhard, Wolfram. A Dictionary of Chinese Symbols: Hidden Symbols in Chinese Life and Thought.

Next, I had Ds provide an accurate and idiomatic English translation of the paper. Finally, I used Kimi to review the quality of the paper, to check for any errors and whether it conforms to the standards of academic writing. The following are my prompts:<br /> <br /> Prompt 1: Please help me design an outline for my research paper on the Chinese zodiac.<br /> <br /> Prompt 2: Provide an accurate and idiomatic English translation of the following text.<br /> <br /> Prompt 3: Please review the following paper in accordance with the standards of academic writing, and check for any punctuation errors, semantic incoherence, grammatical mistakes, or errors in the translation of professional terminology.<br /> <br /> ='''十二生肖'''=<br /> <br /> 十二生肖，作为中国传统文化的独特标识（吴裕成，2018），以十二年为一轮回，与十二地支相对应，依次为鼠、牛、虎、兔、龙、蛇、马、羊、猴、鸡、狗、猪。这一文化现象源远流长，广泛渗透于民间信仰、文学艺术、日常生活等诸多领域，深刻影响着中华民族的精神世界和行为方式。<br /> <br /> =='''十二生肖的起源与发展'''​==<br /> <br /> 关于十二生肖的起源，学界尚无定论，存在多种传说。图腾崇拜说是其中一种重要观点（Yang，1961)。原始社会中，图腾崇拜广泛存在，各部落常以某种动物作为本部落的标志和保护神，随着时间推移，这些动物逐渐演化为生肖。如彝族以虎为图腾，虎在其文化中占据重要地位，可能与生肖虎的形成存在关联。另一种说法是干支纪年说，认为十二生肖源于十二地支（Loewe，1994)。早在殷商时期，我国就已使用十干配十二支的记数系统，人们将十二种动物与十二地支对应，形成了十二生肖纪年法。民间传说也为十二生肖的起源增添了神秘色彩，如 “老鼠骗猫”“生肖赛跑” 等故事，虽无确凿史实依据，但反映了民众对十二生肖排序的独特理解。​<br /> <br /> 从历史发展来看，十二生肖的记载在不断演变。东汉王充所著《论衡》中，已较为完整地记录了十二生肖，这表明在当时十二生肖的体系已基本形成（王充，2010）。在不同历史时期，十二生肖的表现形式和文化内涵也有所变化。在古代绘画、雕塑等艺术作品中，生肖形象丰富多样，反映了当时的审美观念和社会风貌。如唐代铜镜上的十二生肖图案，造型精美，工艺精湛，体现了当时高超的艺术水平。随着时代的发展，十二生肖逐渐与民间信仰、岁时节令、人生礼仪等紧密结合，成为民俗文化的重要组成部分。​<br /> <br /> =='''十二生肖的文化内涵'''​==<br /> <br /> 十二生肖中的每一种动物都具有独特的象征意义。鼠象征着机灵和生命力顽强，尽管体型小巧，但在人类生活环境中广泛生存，展现出强大的适应能力。牛寓意勤劳、坚韧，在农业社会中，牛是重要的生产工具，其默默耕耘的形象深入人心。虎代表勇猛、权威，作为百兽之王，虎的威严形象在传统文化中常被用于象征权力和力量。兔象征温顺、敏捷，其可爱的形象深受人们喜爱。龙是中华民族的图腾，象征着尊贵、吉祥和强大的力量，是多种动物特征的集合体，体现了古人丰富的想象力和创造力。蛇在传统文化中既有神秘、智慧的一面，也因其冷血的特性而带有一些负面象征。马代表着奋进、活力，在古代交通和战争中发挥着重要作用，其矫健的身姿象征着勇往直前的精神。羊寓意善良、温和，“羊大为美”，也体现了羊在古人生活中的重要价值。猴象征聪明、活泼，其机灵的形象常被用于文学艺术作品中。鸡代表守信、准时，鸡鸣报晓，提醒人们开始新的一天。狗象征忠诚，是人类的忠实伙伴，在看家护院等方面发挥着重要作用。猪寓意富足、福气，体态丰满的猪常被视为生活富裕的象征。​<br /> <br /> 十二生肖蕴含着丰富的哲学思想。它体现了中国人对自然和生命的深刻理解，将人类与自然界的动物紧密联系在一起，反映了“天人合一”的哲学观念（Needham，1956)。十二种动物的循环交替，象征着生命的轮回和时间的流转，传达了一种周而复始、生生不息的哲学思想。此外，十二生肖还与阴阳五行学说相互关联（ Eberhard，1986)，每种生肖对应不同的五行属性，如鼠、猪属水，牛、龙、羊、狗属土等，这种对应关系反映了古人对世间万物相互关系的认识，体现了阴阳平衡、五行相生相克的哲学理念。<br /> <br /> =='''十二生肖在现代社会的传承与创新'''​==<br /> <br /> 在现代社会，十二生肖具有强大的商业价值。在广告领域，十二生肖形象被广泛运用，以吸引消费者的关注。如每年春节期间，各大品牌常推出与当年生肖相关的广告宣传活动，利用生肖文化营造节日氛围，提升品牌知名度。文化创意产品方面，十二生肖主题的产品层出不穷，如生肖邮票、纪念币、玩偶、饰品等，深受消费者喜爱。这些产品不仅具有实用价值，更成为传承和传播生肖文化的重要载体。​​​<br /> <br /> 为了适应现代社会的发展，十二生肖文化也在不断创新。在艺术创作方面，艺术家们运用现代艺术手法对传统生肖形象进行重新演绎，使其更符合当代人的审美需求。如一些生肖主题的现代绘画、雕塑作品，融合了抽象、夸张等艺术元素，展现出生肖文化的新魅力。在教育领域，一些学校将生肖文化纳入校本课程，通过开展生肖主题的文化活动、手工制作等，让学生在实践中了解和传承生肖文化。此外，利用虚拟现实、增强现实等新技术，开发与十二生肖相关的互动体验项目，也为生肖文化的传承与创新提供了新的思路（UNESCO，2016）。​<br /> <br /> =='''十二生肖的国际传播与影响'''==<br /> <br /> 十二生肖的国际传播与影响体现了中华文化的跨文化传播力与文化符号的全球价值。其传播历程起源于古代丝绸之路，通过贸易与文化交流，逐渐扩散至东亚各国，并在近现代随华人迁徙进入欧美等地区。在国际文化交流中，十二生肖作为中国文化的重要符号，通过艺术展览、文化节庆等形式，成为展示中国文化独特性的关键窗口，促进了不同文化之间的对话与理解。同时，十二生肖文化为海外文化创作提供了丰富的灵感来源，被广泛应用于影视、动漫、文学等领域，推动了文化的多元融合与创新。<br /> <br /> 然而，文化背景差异与全球文化多元化的竞争，也给十二生肖的国际传播带来了挑战。部分海外受众对十二生肖的文化内涵存在误解，影响了其传播效果。但随着数字技术的快速发展，十二生肖文化通过线上展览、虚拟互动等新兴形式，拓展了传播渠道，提升了传播效率。<br /> <br /> 未来，通过优化传播策略、结合现代科技手段，十二生肖文化有望在全球范围内获得更广泛的认可与传播，进一步强化其作为跨文化交流纽带的功能，为中华文化的国际传播提供重要支撑。<br /> <br /> [[File:The Chinese Zodiac 2.jpg]]<br /> <br /> =='''参考文献'''==<br /> <br /> [1]Eberhard, Wolfram. A Dictionary of Chinese Symbols: Hidden Symbols in Chinese Life and Thought.

Educational institutions integrate zodiac culture into curricula through workshops and crafts, fostering cultural awareness among students. Emerging technologies like VR and AR are also leveraged to create interactive zodiac experiences, offering fresh avenues for cultural preservation（UNESCO，2016）. <br /> <br /> ==='''International Dissemination and Influence'''==<br /> <br /> The international dissemination and influence of the Chinese zodiac reflect the cross-cultural communication power of Chinese culture and the global value of cultural symbols. The dissemination of the zodiac began with the ancient Silk Road and gradually expanded to East Asian countries through trade and cultural exchanges. In modern times, it has spread to Europe, America, and other regions with the migration of Chinese people. In the context of international cultural exchanges, the zodiac serves as a significant symbol of Chinese culture, becoming a crucial window to showcase the uniqueness of Chinese culture through art exhibitions and cultural festivals, thereby facilitating dialogue and understanding among different cultures. Meanwhile, the zodiac has also provided rich inspiration for cultural creation overseas, being widely applied in fields such as film, animation, and literature, and promoting the integration and innovation of diverse cultures.<br /> <br /> However, the differences in cultural backgrounds and the competition from the global diversification of cultures also pose challenges to the international dissemination of the zodiac. Some overseas audiences have misunderstandings about the cultural connotations of the zodiac, which affects its dissemination effectiveness. With the rapid development of digital technology, the zodiac culture has expanded its channels and improved its efficiency through new forms such as online exhibitions and virtual interactions.<br /> <br /> In the future, by optimizing dissemination strategies and combining modern technological means, the zodiac culture is expected to gain wider global recognition and dissemination, further strengthening its function as a bridge for cross-cultural communication and providing significant support for the international dissemination of Chinese culture.<br /> <br /> =='''References'''==<br /> <br /> [1]Eberhard, Wolfram. A Dictionary of Chinese Symbols: Hidden Symbols in Chinese Life and Thought.

First, I had Ds design the writing outline for me, and then I read a large number of documents on my own to independently complete the writing of the Chinese version of the paper. Next, I had Ds provide an accurate and idiomatic English translation of the paper. Finally, I used Kimi to review the quality of the paper, to check for any errors and whether it conforms to the standards of academic writing. The following are my prompts:<br /> <br /> Prompt 1: Please help me design an outline for my research paper on the Chinese zodiac.<br /> <br /> Prompt 2: Provide an accurate and idiomatic English translation of the following text.<br /> <br /> Prompt 3: Please review the following paper in accordance with the standards of academic writing, and check for any punctuation errors, semantic incoherence, grammatical mistakes, or errors in the translation of professional terminology.<br /> <br /> ='''十二生肖'''=<br /> <br /> 十二生肖，作为中国传统文化的独特标识（吴裕成，2018），以十二年为一轮回，与十二地支相对应，依次为鼠、牛、虎、兔、龙、蛇、马、羊、猴、鸡、狗、猪。这一文化现象源远流长，广泛渗透于民间信仰、文学艺术、日常生活等诸多领域，深刻影响着中华民族的精神世界和行为方式。<br /> <br /> =='''十二生肖的起源与发展'''​==<br /> <br /> 关于十二生肖的起源，学界尚无定论，存在多种传说。图腾崇拜说是其中一种重要观点（Yang，1961)。原始社会中，图腾崇拜广泛存在，各部落常以某种动物作为本部落的标志和保护神，随着时间推移，这些动物逐渐演化为生肖。如彝族以虎为图腾，虎在其文化中占据重要地位，可能与生肖虎的形成存在关联。另一种说法是干支纪年说，认为十二生肖源于十二地支（Loewe，1994)。早在殷商时期，我国就已使用十干配十二支的记数系统，人们将十二种动物与十二地支对应，形成了十二生肖纪年法。民间传说也为十二生肖的起源增添了神秘色彩，如 “老鼠骗猫”“生肖赛跑” 等故事，虽无确凿史实依据，但反映了民众对十二生肖排序的独特理解。​<br /> <br /> 从历史发展来看，十二生肖的记载在不断演变。东汉王充所著《论衡》中，已较为完整地记录了十二生肖，这表明在当时十二生肖的体系已基本形成（王充，2010）。在不同历史时期，十二生肖的表现形式和文化内涵也有所变化。在古代绘画、雕塑等艺术作品中，生肖形象丰富多样，反映了当时的审美观念和社会风貌。如唐代铜镜上的十二生肖图案，造型精美，工艺精湛，体现了当时高超的艺术水平。随着时代的发展，十二生肖逐渐与民间信仰、岁时节令、人生礼仪等紧密结合，成为民俗文化的重要组成部分。​<br /> <br /> =='''十二生肖的文化内涵'''​==<br /> <br /> 十二生肖中的每一种动物都具有独特的象征意义。鼠象征着机灵和生命力顽强，尽管体型小巧，但在人类生活环境中广泛生存，展现出强大的适应能力。牛寓意勤劳、坚韧，在农业社会中，牛是重要的生产工具，其默默耕耘的形象深入人心。虎代表勇猛、权威，作为百兽之王，虎的威严形象在传统文化中常被用于象征权力和力量。兔象征温顺、敏捷，其可爱的形象深受人们喜爱。龙是中华民族的图腾，象征着尊贵、吉祥和强大的力量，是多种动物特征的集合体，体现了古人丰富的想象力和创造力。蛇在传统文化中既有神秘、智慧的一面，也因其冷血的特性而带有一些负面象征。马代表着奋进、活力，在古代交通和战争中发挥着重要作用，其矫健的身姿象征着勇往直前的精神。羊寓意善良、温和，“羊大为美”，也体现了羊在古人生活中的重要价值。猴象征聪明、活泼，其机灵的形象常被用于文学艺术作品中。鸡代表守信、准时，鸡鸣报晓，提醒人们开始新的一天。狗象征忠诚，是人类的忠实伙伴，在看家护院等方面发挥着重要作用。猪寓意富足、福气，体态丰满的猪常被视为生活富裕的象征。​<br /> <br /> 十二生肖蕴含着丰富的哲学思想。它体现了中国人对自然和生命的深刻理解，将人类与自然界的动物紧密联系在一起，反映了“天人合一”的哲学观念（Needham，1956)。十二种动物的循环交替，象征着生命的轮回和时间的流转，传达了一种周而复始、生生不息的哲学思想。此外，十二生肖还与阴阳五行学说相互关联（ Eberhard，1986)，每种生肖对应不同的五行属性，如鼠、猪属水，牛、龙、羊、狗属土等，这种对应关系反映了古人对世间万物相互关系的认识，体现了阴阳平衡、五行相生相克的哲学理念。<br /> <br /> =='''十二生肖在现代社会的传承与创新'''​==<br /> <br /> 在现代社会，十二生肖具有强大的商业价值。在广告领域，十二生肖形象被广泛运用，以吸引消费者的关注。如每年春节期间，各大品牌常推出与当年生肖相关的广告宣传活动，利用生肖文化营造节日氛围，提升品牌知名度。文化创意产品方面，十二生肖主题的产品层出不穷，如生肖邮票、纪念币、玩偶、饰品等，深受消费者喜爱。这些产品不仅具有实用价值，更成为传承和传播生肖文化的重要载体。​​​<br /> <br /> 为了适应现代社会的发展，十二生肖文化也在不断创新。在艺术创作方面，艺术家们运用现代艺术手法对传统生肖形象进行重新演绎，使其更符合当代人的审美需求。如一些生肖主题的现代绘画、雕塑作品，融合了抽象、夸张等艺术元素，展现出生肖文化的新魅力。在教育领域，一些学校将生肖文化纳入校本课程，通过开展生肖主题的文化活动、手工制作等，让学生在实践中了解和传承生肖文化。此外，利用虚拟现实、增强现实等新技术，开发与十二生肖相关的互动体验项目，也为生肖文化的传承与创新提供了新的思路（UNESCO，2016）。​<br /> <br /> =='''十二生肖的国际传播与影响'''==<br /> <br /> 十二生肖的国际传播与影响体现了中华文化的跨文化传播力与文化符号的全球价值。其传播历程起源于古代丝绸之路，通过贸易与文化交流，逐渐扩散至东亚各国，并在近现代随华人迁徙进入欧美等地区。在国际文化交流中，十二生肖作为中国文化的重要符号，通过艺术展览、文化节庆等形式，成为展示中国文化独特性的关键窗口，促进了不同文化之间的对话与理解。同时，十二生肖文化为海外文化创作提供了丰富的灵感来源，被广泛应用于影视、动漫、文学等领域，推动了文化的多元融合与创新。<br /> <br /> 然而，文化背景差异与全球文化多元化的竞争，也给十二生肖的国际传播带来了挑战。部分海外受众对十二生肖的文化内涵存在误解，影响了其传播效果。但随着数字技术的快速发展，十二生肖文化通过线上展览、虚拟互动等新兴形式，拓展了传播渠道，提升了传播效率。<br /> <br /> 未来，通过优化传播策略、结合现代科技手段，十二生肖文化有望在全球范围内获得更广泛的认可与传播，进一步强化其作为跨文化交流纽带的功能，为中华文化的国际传播提供重要支撑。<br /> <br /> [[File:The Chinese Zodiac 2.jpg]]<br /> <br /> =='''参考文献'''==<br /> <br /> [1]Eberhard, Wolfram. A Dictionary of Chinese Symbols: Hidden Symbols in Chinese Life and Thought.

This interpretation highlights her confidence and forward-thinking.<br /> #To avoid criticism or controversy: As the only female emperor in Chinese history, Wu Zetian was a controversial figure. She may have felt that any written content could provoke criticism, so she left it blank.<br /> #Reflecting Buddhist philosophy: A devout Buddhist, she may have chosen to leave the stele blank as a symbol of “emptiness” or impermanence, ideas central to Buddhist thought.<br /> #Intended to write later: Some believe she planned to inscribe it later in life but passed away before doing so, leaving the monument unfinished.<br /> #Symbol of power and uniqueness: A blank stele could also serve as a unique and powerful statement, emphasizing her exceptional status and breaking with traditional forms.<br /> <br /> =Session 13 Fri May 09 14:30-16:10 room 613 - Student presentations=<br /> #Topic 248: Jing Gang Mountain (井冈山）(Yu Jingfang) [[Media:Jing_Gang_Mountain_Spring_2025.pptx]]<br /> #Topic 251: Rice noodle roll (Li Mingfeng)[[Media:Rice_Noodle_Roll.pptx]]<br /> #Topic 252: Traditional Cuisine: Northeastern Chinese Cuisine (Liu Shutian)<br /> #Topic 253: Yuelu Mountain (Chen Ting)<br /> #Topic 254: Traditional Crafts：Tie-Dye (Zhang Qi)[[Media:Traditional_Crafts_Tie-Dye.pptx]]<br /> #Topic 255: Chinese-style sun protection (Zhao Yashi)[[ File:Chinese-style Sun Protection.pdf]]<br /> #Topic 256: Danmu（弹幕）(Zhou Le)[[Media:Danmu.pptx]]<br /> #Topic 259: Female Writers: Zhang Ailing, Chen Ping, Lin Yihan and Li Bihua (Zhou Tianyi)<br /> #Topic 214: Luban China's inventor (Cai Yichun)<br /> <br /> =Session 14 Fri May 23 14:30-16:10 room 613 - Student presentations=<br /> #Topic 262: The Four Pillars of Destiny(Li Jiayi)<br /> #Topic 263: Shaolin Temple(Zuo Fang)<br /> #Topic 265: Cuisine: Changde spicy salted duck(Xing Xueqing)<br /> #15:25-15:30 Topic 266: Hui Culture (徽文化)(Liu Jianan)[[Media:Hui Culture.pptx]]<br /> #15:30- Topic 267: Ma Zu Culture (妈祖文化)(Yan Jidong)[[Media:Mazu culture.pptx]]<br /> #15:35- Topic 268: Table manner(Luo Yan)[[Media:Table manner.pptx]]<br /> #15:40- Topic 270: Yinge Dance(Jiang Xinyue)<br /> #15:45- Topic 271: Palace Lantern(Shao Keyuan)<br /> #15:50- Topic 272: Chinese Endearing Terms(Zeng Zhi)[[Media:Chinese Endearing Terms.pptx]]<br /> <br /> 15:55-16:10 Check final exam paper topics<br /> <br /> =Session 15 Tue May 27 10:00-11:30 中和楼 213 (moved from Fri May 30 14:30-16:10 room 613) - Student presentations=<br /> #Topic 273: Changsha Stinky Tofu（长沙臭豆腐）(Luo Sicheng)[[Media:Changsha Stinky Tofu.pptx]]<br /> #&lt;nowiki&gt;Topic 274:&lt;/nowiki&gt; God of wealth(Liu Ying)<br /> #Topic 275: Zhua zhou (抓周）(Zeng Xiaohui)<br /> #Topic 276: Nail art(Luo Jiaxin)[[Media:Nail_Art.pptx]]<br /> #Topic 277: Mirror(Cheng Sixiang)[[Media:Mirror_Cheng Sixiang.pptx]]<br /> #Topic 278: The Beef Board Noodles(Yan Xiang)[[Media:Beef Board Noodles.pptx]]<br /> #Topic 279: Huo Qubing(Luo Jingyan)<br /> #Topic 280: Chinese Courtyard Houses（中国四合院）(Guo Cili)[[Media:Chinese Courtyard Houses-Guo Cili.pptx]]<br /> #Topic 281: yangqin(Dai Yexun)<br /> <br /> =Session 16 Fri Jun 6 14:30-16:10 room 613=<br /> #Topic 282: Black Myth: Wukong (Chen Zhen)<br /> #Topic 283: Guangdong Morning Tea Culture (Yuan Xiaolin)<br /> #Topic 283: Guangdong Morning Tea Culture （广东早茶文化）(Zheng Jinlian)[[Media:Guangdong Morning Tea Culture-Zheng Jinlian.pptx]]<br /> #Topic:(Luo Guoqiang) Liuyang Fireworks <br /> <br /> “When flaming trees join silver flowers in one blaze, and bridges of stars unlock their iron gates,” fireworks have, since ancient times, embodied humanity’s yearning for prosperity and blessings. These luminous spectacles paint the night sky with dreamlike beauty, symbolizing hopes for a better life. When it comes to fireworks, one cannot overlook Liuyang, a city renowned as the “Home of Chinese Fireworks.” With over a thousand years of craftsmanship, Liuyang has given birth to fireworks that captivate the world.<br /> <br /> The origins of Liuyang fireworks can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. Legend has it that Li Tian, revered as the “Forefather Saint of Firecrackers,” filled bamboo tubes with gunpowder to dispel plagues. The explosive force and resulting smoke were believed to purify the environment, marking the rudiments of firecrackers. Through generations of inheritance and innovation, Liuyang’s artisans continuously refined their craft. From the rudimentary bamboo-tube firecrackers of old times to the “string firecrackers” wrapped in paper and hemp stems during the Song Dynasty, and finally to today’s vibrant, intricately designed displays, Liuyang fireworks chronicle the evolution of traditional Chinese craftsmanship. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Liuyang’s fireworks industry thrived, becoming a cornerstone of local handicrafts and expanding its reach nationwide and abroad. In the first year of the Yongzheng reign of the Qing Dynasty, Liuyang firecrackers were selected as imperial tributes, a testament to their superior quality. By the Qianlong era, they dominated the Hunan region, and during the Guangxu period, exports reached Asian countries like Japan, India, and Korea.<br /> <br /> A millennium of heritage has not only bestowed profound cultural depth upon Liuyang fireworks but also forged their unique brand identity. In 2006, the art of Liuyang fireworks craftsmanship was inscribed on China’s first batch of National Intangible Cultural Heritage lists, acknowledging its invaluable cultural significance. Today, Liuyang stands as the world’s largest production, trade, and research hub for fireworks. Home to over 400 manufacturing enterprises and thousands of associated businesses, it generates an annual output value exceeding 50 billion RMB, accounting for 70% of China’s total fireworks exports. These products reach more than 100 countries across the Americas, Europe, and Southeast Asia, solidifying Liuyang’s reputation as the global epicenter of fireworks.<br /> <br /> However, the modern era presents new challenges for the fireworks industry. Safety and environmental protection have emerged as critical constraints. Historically, Liuyang’s fireworks relied on family-run workshops, posing significant safety risks. To address this, the local government relocated enterprises to mountainous areas, promoting industrial standardization, scale, and modernization. Leveraging big data and AI, they established comprehensive, intelligent supervision systems to ensure safety at every production stage. In terms of environmental protection, Liuyang’s enterprises collaborated with prestigious universities, such as Nanjing University of Science and Technology and Beijing Institute of Technology, to develop new materials, techniques, and products. Their efforts have led to the creation of low-smoke, sulfur-free, and low-dust fireworks, redefining the industry’s ecological footprint.<br /> <br /> In response to market shifts and technological advancements, a new generation of Liuyang’s “fireworks innovators” drives industry transformation. They have introduced products like “Urban Fireworks,” designed for urban settings. These safe, eco-friendly items blend aesthetic appeal with social interactivity, winning favor among young consumers. Innovating sales strategies, they integrate online and offline channels, utilizing “new retail” stores, Vlogs, and video platforms to reach wider audiences. Additionally, Liuyang has developed a “fireworks economy,” integrating pyrotechnics with cultural tourism. Since 2023, weekly weekend fireworks show at the Sky Theater have hosted over a hundred events, attracting 5 million visitors and generating 15 billion yuan in revenue. These shows combine cutting-edge technologies like drones and AI with cultural IPs, creating immersive experiences that have transformed Liuyang fireworks from a regional brand into a global cultural icon.<br /> <br /> Emerging from the depths of history, Liuyang fireworks embrace the new era with innovation as their brush and culture as their ink. Against the backdrop of safety and sustainability, they paint a future more resplendent than ever. Serving as Liuyang’s cultural ambassador and a vivid example of traditional Chinese culture’s modern evolution, Liuyang fireworks continue to shine brightly, a timeless beacon of human ingenuity.<br /> <br /> 浏阳烟花<br /> <br /> “火树银花合，星桥铁锁开。” 烟花，自古以来就承载着人们对美好生活的向往与祝福，在夜空中绽放出如梦如幻的美景。而提及烟花，就不得不提湖南浏阳 —— 这座被誉为 “中国烟花之乡” 的城市，它以千余年的烟花制作历史，孕育出了享誉全球的浏阳烟花。<br /> <br /> 浏阳烟花的历史，最早可追溯到唐代。相传，“爆竹祖师” 李畋为驱散疫病，将火药装填于竹筒之中，利用爆炸产生的气浪与硝烟来改善环境，这便是鞭炮的雏形。此后，经过历代浏阳人的传承与创新，烟花制作工艺不断改进。从最初简单的竹筒爆竹，发展到宋代用纸筒和麻茎裹火药编成的 “编炮”，再到后来色彩斑斓、造型各异的烟花，浏阳烟花的发展历程见证了中国传统手工艺的演变与进步。到了明清时期，浏阳烟花的生产已颇具规模，成为当地重要的手工行业，并逐渐走向全国乃至世界。清雍正元年，浏阳鞭炮因其制作精良，被选为贡品，这无疑是对其品质的极高赞誉。至乾隆年间，浏阳花炮已称雄于湖南的三湘四水；光绪年间，更是达到极盛时期，产品远销日本、印度、朝鲜等亚洲国家。<br /> <br /> 千年的历史传承，不仅让浏阳烟花积累了深厚的文化底蕴，更铸就了其独特的品牌魅力。2006 年，浏阳花炮制作技艺列入第一批国家级非物质文化遗产名录，这是对浏阳烟花文化价值的高度认可。如今，浏阳已成为全球最大的烟花爆竹生产贸易基地和科研中心，拥有 400 余家烟花生产企业及上千家产业链上下游企业，花炮年产值超 500 亿元，出口占全国出口总量的 70%，产品销往美洲、欧洲、东南亚等 100 多个国家和地区，“世界烟花看浏阳” 的美誉名副其实。<br /> <br /> 然而，随着时代的发展，烟花产业也面临着诸多挑战。安全与环保，成为了制约其发展的两大关键因素。过去，浏阳烟花多以家庭式作坊生产为主，安全隐患较大。为了改变这一现状，浏阳市政府果断采取措施，将烟花企业 “赶上山”，推动产业向工厂化、规模化、标准化发展。同时，借助大数据监控和人工智能平台，实现了对烟花爆竹生产全过程、全方位、智能化的安全监管。在环保方面，浏阳烟花企业积极开展科研攻关，与南京理工大学、北京理工大学等高等院校广泛合作，研发新材料、新工艺、新产品，致力于打造低碳、绿色、环保的烟花新形象。如今，微烟、无硫、少尘已成为浏阳烟花生产的关键词。<br /> <br /> 面对市场变化和技术革新，新一代浏阳 “烟花人” 积极创新，推动烟花产业转型升级。一方面，他们重新定义产品，推出了 “城市烟花” 等适合城市休闲场景的新产品，这类产品安全性高、污染小，且有颜值与社交属性，深受年轻消费者喜爱。另一方面，创新销售方式，通过打造 “新零售” 门店、拍摄 Vlog、搭建视频号矩阵等线上线下融合的方式，让烟花走进更多消费者的世界。此外，浏阳还大力发展 “烟花经济”，将烟花与文化旅游产业深度融合。自 2023 年以来，每周六在天空剧院推出的周末焰火秀，已累计举办各类焰火燃放活动百余场，吸引游客 500 万人次，拉动消费 150 亿元。创意焰火秀通过与无人机、AI 等新科技相结合，以及融入国风、虚拟人物、热门影视等 IP 元素，为观众带来了一场场精彩纷呈的沉浸式视觉盛宴，也让浏阳花炮实现了从区域性品牌向国际知名 IP 的蝶变升级。<br /> <br /> 从历史深处走来的浏阳烟花，在新时代的浪潮中，正以创新为笔，以文化为墨，在安全与环保的底色上，描绘出更加绚烂多彩的未来画卷。它不仅是浏阳的城市名片，更是中国传统文化在现代社会中传承与发展的生动例证，绽放永不落幕的璀璨光芒。<br /> <br /> =Deadline extended to June 20, 2025 - Final Exam=<br /> &lt;span style=&quot;color:red&quot;&gt;Please upload your ppt if you not have done so so far.&lt;/span&gt;<br /> [[Media:282_Black_Myth_Wukong_Chen_Zhen.pptx]]<br /> <br /> Topic 196:[[Media:Chinese_Electtic_Vehicles_Geng_hongmei.pptx]]<br /> <br /> [[Media:ChaBaiXi.pptx]]<br /> <br /> ==Grading Criteria for Powerpoint Presentations==<br /> #Was the presentation based on scientific facts, did the presenter also conduct some research on the topic and did he/she also add her own experience or her own opinion/perspective and marking the two different perspectives as factual/subjective?

<p>Xu Xinwen: </p> <hr /> <div>='''The Chinese Zodiac'''=<br /> <br /> 202470081622 Xu Xinwen<br /> <br /> The Chinese Zodiac, a distinctive symbol of traditional Chinese culture(Wu Yucheng,2018), operates on a twelve-year cycle, with each year corresponding to one of the twelve Earthly Branches and represented by an animal: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. This cultural phenomenon has a long history and permeates various aspects of folk beliefs, literature, art, and daily life, profoundly shaping the spiritual world and behavioral patterns of the Chinese people. <br /> <br /> =='''Origins and Development'''==<br /> <br /> The origins of the Chinese Zodiac remain debated in academic circles, with multiple theories proposed. One prominent view is the totem worship theory(Yang, 1961). In primitive societies, totemism was widespread, with tribes often adopting specific animals as symbols and protective deities. Over time, these animals evolved into zodiac signs. For example, the Yi people revered the tiger as their totem, which may have influenced the inclusion of the Tiger in the zodiac. Another theory is the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches system(Loewe，1994), suggesting that the zodiac originated from the twelve Earthly Branches. As early as the Shang Dynasty, China employed a numerical system combining the ten Heavenly Stems and twelve Earthly Branches, eventually pairing twelve animals with the Earthly Branches to form the zodiac calendar. Folktales, such as &quot;The Rat Tricking the Cat&quot; and &quot;The Great Zodiac Race,&quot; though lacking historical evidence, reflect popular interpretations of the zodiac's order. <br /> <br /> Historically, records of the Chinese Zodiac have evolved. The Lunheng by Wang Chong of the Eastern Han Dynasty provides a relatively complete account of the zodiac, indicating its established system by that time(Wang Chong, 2010). Across different dynasties, the representation and cultural significance of the zodiac varied. Ancient artworks, such as Tang Dynasty bronze mirrors adorned with intricate zodiac motifs, showcase the era's artistic excellence and societal aesthetics. Over time, the zodiac became deeply intertwined with folk beliefs, seasonal festivals, and life rituals, emerging as a vital component of cultural traditions. <br /> <br /> =='''Cultural Connotations'''==<br /> <br /> Each animal in the Chinese Zodiac carries unique symbolism. The Rat symbolizes wit and resilience, thriving in human environments despite its small size. The Ox represents diligence and endurance, revered in agrarian societies for its role in farming. The Tiger embodies bravery and authority, often associated with power. The Rabbit signifies gentleness and agility, admired for its charm. The Dragon, a totem of the Chinese nation, symbolizes nobility, auspiciousness, and strength, reflecting ancient creativity. The Snake conveys mystery and wisdom but also carries negative connotations due to its cold-blooded nature. The Horse stands for energy and progress, vital in ancient transportation and warfare. The Goat represents kindness and harmony, with its cultural value highlighted in the phrase &quot;the Goat signifies beauty.&quot; The Monkey symbolizes intelligence and playfulness, frequently featured in literature and art. The Rooster embodies punctuality and diligence, heralding the dawn. The Dog epitomizes loyalty, serving as a faithful companion. The Pig symbolizes abundance and fortune, its plump figure associated with prosperity. <br /> <br /> The Chinese Zodiac embodies profound philosophical ideas. It reflects the Chinese understanding of nature and life, linking humans and animals in a manner consistent with the philosophy of &quot;harmony between man and nature.&quot; （Needham，1956)The cyclical rotation of the twelve animals symbolizes the reincarnation of life and the passage of time, conveying themes of renewal and continuity. Additionally, the zodiac aligns with the Yin-Yang and Five Elements theory（Eberhard，1986), with each animal corresponding to specific elemental attributes (e.g., Rat and Pig belong to Water; Ox, Dragon, Goat, and Dog to Earth). This interplay reflects ancient beliefs about the interconnectedness of all things and the balance of opposing forces. <br /> <br /> =='''Inheritance and Innovation'''==<br /> <br /> In modern society, the Chinese Zodiac holds substantial commercial value. In advertising, zodiac imagery is widely used to captivate consumers. For instance, during the Lunar New Year, brands launch campaigns featuring the year's zodiac animal to enhance visibility. Cultural products, such as zodiac-themed stamps, coins, toys, and jewelry, are also popular, serving as vehicles for cultural transmission. <br /> <br /> [[File:The Chinese Zodiac 1.jpg]]<br /> <br /> Globalization has propelled the Chinese Zodiac onto the world stage. In international exchanges, it represents Chinese culture, attracting global interest. Museums abroad often feature zodiac exhibits to showcase China's cultural heritage. Social media platforms also amplify its reach, enabling broader cultural exchange. <br /> <br /> To adapt to modernity, the zodiac has undergone creative transformations. Artists reinterpret traditional zodiac motifs using contemporary techniques, producing abstract or exaggerated works that resonate with modern aesthetics. Educational institutions integrate zodiac culture into curricula through workshops and crafts, fostering cultural awareness among students. Emerging technologies like VR and AR are also leveraged to create interactive zodiac experiences, offering fresh avenues for cultural preservation（UNESCO，2016）. <br /> <br /> [[File:The Chinese Zodiac 2.jpg]]<br /> <br /> =='''References'''==<br /> <br /> [1]Eberhard, Wolfram. A Dictionary of Chinese Symbols: Hidden Symbols in Chinese Life and Thought.

<p>Xu Xinwen: </p> <hr /> <div>Harbin Beer: Heritage and Innovation of a Century-Old Brand<br /> <br /> Introduction<br /> Harbin is renowned as “the Eastern Moscow” and “the Eastern Little Paris”. It is also the birthplace of Chinese beer and has a Harbin Beer Museum, which showcases the century-old beer culture. (Liu Wenyu 2023). As a significant landmark in China’s beer industry development, Harbin Beer traces its history back to 1900 when Russian merchant Ulubulevsky established China’s first brewery - Ulubulevsky Brewery - in Harbin. As the earliest beer brand in China, Harbin Beer has not only witnessed the rise of China’s modern beer industry but has also undergone transformation from a local enterprise to an international brand amid globalization. In 2004, Harbin Beer was acquired by Anheuser-Busch (AB) and became its wholly-owned subsidiary. It subsequently entered the global market following AB’s merger into the AB InBev Group.<br /> History and Development<br /> Start-up and Early Development (1900–1949)<br /> From 1900 to 1930, it was the early development period of the modern brewing industry in Harbin. The first historical stage was before 1916. Despite the small scale and the incomplete formation of the market in the Harbin region, the initially established Harbin Brewery steadily developed and brought beer into the daily life of Harbin residents (Meng Wenchu 2018). The origins of Harbin Beer are closely tied to the construction of the China Eastern Railway. In 1900, to meet the demand for alcohol among Russian expatriates, Russian merchant Ulubulevsky established China’s first brewery on Huayuan Street in Nangang District, Harbin. The brewery used European yeast and local high-quality water sources to produce beer.<br /> <br /> Nationalization and Technological Innovation (1950–1995)<br /> After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the Soviet Union transferred the brewery to the Chinese government in 1950, officially naming it “Harbin Brewery”. During this period, Harbin Beer achieved several technological breakthroughs:<br /> In 1959, it pioneered the use of corn instead of rice in beer production, addressing grain shortages.<br /> In 1973, it co-developed Heilongjiang Province’s first spray-type pasteurizer, marking a milestone in brewing technology.<br /> These innovations not only resolved raw material shortages at the time but also contributed significantly to the advancement of China’s beer industry.<br /> <br /> Marketization and Globalization (1996–Present)<br /> Following China’s reform and opening-up, Harbin Beer entered a phase of rapid expansion: In 1996, Harbin Brewery partnered with Hong Kong’s New China Hong Kong Group to establish “Harbin Beer Co., Ltd.”, transitioning to market-oriented operations.<br /> In 2004, global brewing giant Anheuser-Busch acquired a 99.66% stake in Harbin Beer, integrating it into its international portfolio.<br /> Over a century of development, Harbin Beer has built a diverse product lineup, catering to varied consumer preferences while balancing traditional craftsmanship with continuous innovation.<br /> <br /> Ice Pure Series<br /> The Ice Pure Series is a flagship product of Harbin Beer, leveraging the city’s unique icy climate. During brewing, the matured beer undergoes deep cooling to remove impurities entirely, preserving its natural crispness and delivering an exceptionally refreshing taste.<br /> <br /> Wheat King Series<br /> A standout for its rich malt aroma and crisp taste, this series is crafted from premium white wheat using a blend of traditional techniques and modern brewing technology. When poured, it forms a creamy, snow-white foam atop a golden, crystal-clear liquid, offering a visually and gustatorily distinctive experience.<br /> <br /> Ice Refresh Series<br /> Another testament to Harbin Beer’s technological innovation, this series is brewed with high-quality Northeast malt, fermented at 9°C and stored at -1°C for three days. During production, the beer is chilled to -2°C for filtration, perfectly balancing malt sweetness with hop bitterness to create a truly unique flavor profile. <br /> <br /> Innovative Measures <br /> Craft beer has now firmly taken the dominant position in the market: whether it’s Maotian Craft Beer from Jinxing Brewery, or Fu Lu Jia from Meixue Ice City, or Wusu Craft Red Peony Beer, or Wei Ma Craft Beer produced by Huaxun’s contract manufacturer, each can find its own consumer base here(Dang Peng 2025). To align with health-conscious trends, Harbin Beer launched its first alcohol-free beer, “Guochao New Youth”, in 2019, catering to young consumers’ demand for low-alcohol beverages. The brand has also experimented with innovative flavors like hawthorn and lotus, aiming to attract younger demographics. However, market reception has been mixed, with some products sparking controversy due to misguided marketing strategies.<br /> In today’s globalized landscape, Harbin Beer faces critical questions:<br /> How to maintain international relevance while staying rooted in Chinese culture? How to secure more resource support within the Anheuser-Busch InBev group? How to navigate challenges posed by consumer premiumization? The answers will determine whether this century-old brand can continue its legacy. Regardless, as China’s first brewer, Harbin Beer has already etched an indelible mark in the nation’s commercial history.<br /> <br /> Opportunities and Challenges<br /> In recent years, the import of beer in our country has witnessed an explosive growth, with a very strong market performance. This has had a significant impact on the development of the domestic beer industry, making the survival environment of the domestic beer industry more complex and difficult. It has also posed a severe test for the future development of the beer industry (Tian Tian, Liu Xianyu 2018). How to enhance its own competitive strength has become an important issue facing Chinese beer enterprises. By understanding the current situation of beer imports in our country, analyzing the impact of imported beer on domestic beer, and proposing countermeasures for Chinese beer enterprises to deal with the competition from imported beer, this paper aims to provide reference and inspiration for the future better development of the beer industry. The number of patent applications for beer in our country ranks among the top globally, but the main innovation entities’ research and development focus is still limited to the traditional beer field. The regional layout is concentrated in China, and there is a relatively broad space for research and development and patent operation prospects(Fan Jie, Cai Yupin, Xu Ranran 2025). The beer culture with a century history has deeply integrated into the blood of the people of Harbin, endowing them with spirit and boldness. It has also added unique charm to this city where Chinese and Western cultures converge and blend.

<p>Xu Xinwen: </p> <hr /> <div>=The Chinese Zodiac=<br /> <br /> The Chinese Zodiac, a distinctive symbol of traditional Chinese culture(Wu Yucheng,2018), operates on a twelve-year cycle, with each year corresponding to one of the twelve Earthly Branches and represented by an animal: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. This cultural phenomenon has a long history and permeates various aspects of folk beliefs, literature, art, and daily life, profoundly shaping the spiritual world and behavioral patterns of the Chinese people. <br /> <br /> ==Origins and Development==<br /> <br /> The origins of the Chinese Zodiac remain debated in academic circles, with multiple theories proposed. One prominent view is the totem worship theory(Yang, 1961). In primitive societies, totemism was widespread, with tribes often adopting specific animals as symbols and protective deities. Over time, these animals evolved into zodiac signs. For example, the Yi people revered the tiger as their totem, which may have influenced the inclusion of the Tiger in the zodiac. Another theory is the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches system(Loewe，1994), suggesting that the zodiac originated from the twelve Earthly Branches. As early as the Shang Dynasty, China employed a numerical system combining the ten Heavenly Stems and twelve Earthly Branches, eventually pairing twelve animals with the Earthly Branches to form the zodiac calendar. Folktales, such as &quot;The Rat Tricking the Cat&quot; and &quot;The Great Zodiac Race,&quot; though lacking historical evidence, reflect popular interpretations of the zodiac's order. <br /> <br /> Historically, records of the Chinese Zodiac have evolved. The Lunheng by Wang Chong of the Eastern Han Dynasty provides a relatively complete account of the zodiac, indicating its established system by that time(Wang Chong, 2010). Across different dynasties, the representation and cultural significance of the zodiac varied. Ancient artworks, such as Tang Dynasty bronze mirrors adorned with intricate zodiac motifs, showcase the era's artistic excellence and societal aesthetics. Over time, the zodiac became deeply intertwined with folk beliefs, seasonal festivals, and life rituals, emerging as a vital component of cultural traditions. <br /> <br /> ==Cultural Connotations==<br /> <br /> Each animal in the Chinese Zodiac carries unique symbolism. The Rat symbolizes wit and resilience, thriving in human environments despite its small size. The Ox represents diligence and endurance, revered in agrarian societies for its role in farming. The Tiger embodies bravery and authority, often associated with power. The Rabbit signifies gentleness and agility, admired for its charm. The Dragon, a totem of the Chinese nation, symbolizes nobility, auspiciousness, and strength, reflecting ancient creativity. The Snake conveys mystery and wisdom but also carries negative connotations due to its cold-blooded nature. The Horse stands for energy and progress, vital in ancient transportation and warfare. The Goat represents kindness and harmony, with its cultural value highlighted in the phrase &quot;the Goat signifies beauty.&quot; The Monkey symbolizes intelligence and playfulness, frequently featured in literature and art. The Rooster embodies punctuality and diligence, heralding the dawn. The Dog epitomizes loyalty, serving as a faithful companion. The Pig symbolizes abundance and fortune, its plump figure associated with prosperity. <br /> <br /> The Chinese Zodiac embodies profound philosophical ideas. It reflects the Chinese understanding of nature and life, linking humans and animals in a manner consistent with the philosophy of &quot;harmony between man and nature.&quot; （Needham，1956)The cyclical rotation of the twelve animals symbolizes the reincarnation of life and the passage of time, conveying themes of renewal and continuity. Additionally, the zodiac aligns with the Yin-Yang and Five Elements theory（Eberhard，1986), with each animal corresponding to specific elemental attributes (e.g., Rat and Pig belong to Water; Ox, Dragon, Goat, and Dog to Earth). This interplay reflects ancient beliefs about the interconnectedness of all things and the balance of opposing forces. <br /> <br /> ==Inheritance and Innovation==<br /> <br /> In modern society, the Chinese Zodiac holds substantial commercial value. In advertising, zodiac imagery is widely used to captivate consumers. For instance, during the Lunar New Year, brands launch campaigns featuring the year's zodiac animal to enhance visibility. Cultural products, such as zodiac-themed stamps, coins, toys, and jewelry, are also popular, serving as vehicles for cultural transmission. <br /> <br /> Globalization has propelled the Chinese Zodiac onto the world stage. In international exchanges, it represents Chinese culture, attracting global interest. Museums abroad often feature zodiac exhibits to showcase China's cultural heritage. Social media platforms also amplify its reach, enabling broader cultural exchange. <br /> <br /> To adapt to modernity, the zodiac has undergone creative transformations. Artists reinterpret traditional zodiac motifs using contemporary techniques, producing abstract or exaggerated works that resonate with modern aesthetics. Educational institutions integrate zodiac culture into curricula through workshops and crafts, fostering cultural awareness among students. Emerging technologies like VR and AR are also leveraged to create interactive zodiac experiences, offering fresh avenues for cultural preservation（UNESCO，2016）. <br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <br /> [1]Eberhard, Wolfram. A Dictionary of Chinese Symbols: Hidden Symbols in Chinese Life and Thought.

<p>Xu Xinwen: </p> <hr /> <div>'''The Chinese Zodiac'''<br /> <br /> The Chinese Zodiac, a distinctive symbol of traditional Chinese culture(Wu Yucheng,2018), operates on a twelve-year cycle, with each year corresponding to one of the twelve Earthly Branches and represented by an animal: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig.

<p>Xu Xinwen: </p> <hr /> <div>'''The Chinese Zodiac'''<br /> The Chinese Zodiac, a distinctive symbol of traditional Chinese culture(Wu Yucheng,2018), operates on a twelve-year cycle, with each year corresponding to one of the twelve Earthly Branches and represented by an animal: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. This cultural phenomenon has a long history and permeates various aspects of folk beliefs, literature, art, and daily life, profoundly shaping the spiritual world and behavioral patterns of the Chinese people. <br /> <br /> '''Origins and Development'''<br /> <br /> The origins of the Chinese Zodiac remain debated in academic circles, with multiple theories proposed. One prominent view is the totem worship theory(Yang, 1961). In primitive societies, totemism was widespread, with tribes often adopting specific animals as symbols and protective deities. Over time, these animals evolved into zodiac signs. For example, the Yi people revered the tiger as their totem, which may have influenced the inclusion of the Tiger in the zodiac. Another theory is the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches system(Loewe，1994), suggesting that the zodiac originated from the twelve Earthly Branches. As early as the Shang Dynasty, China employed a numerical system combining the ten Heavenly Stems and twelve Earthly Branches, eventually pairing twelve animals with the Earthly Branches to form the zodiac calendar. Folktales, such as &quot;The Rat Tricking the Cat&quot; and &quot;The Great Zodiac Race,&quot; though lacking historical evidence, reflect popular interpretations of the zodiac's order. <br /> Historically, records of the Chinese Zodiac have evolved. The Lunheng by Wang Chong of the Eastern Han Dynasty provides a relatively complete account of the zodiac, indicating its established system by that time(Wang Chong, 2010). Across different dynasties, the representation and cultural significance of the zodiac varied. Ancient artworks, such as Tang Dynasty bronze mirrors adorned with intricate zodiac motifs, showcase the era's artistic excellence and societal aesthetics. Over time, the zodiac became deeply intertwined with folk beliefs, seasonal festivals, and life rituals, emerging as a vital component of cultural traditions. <br /> <br /> '''Cultural Connotations'''<br /> <br /> Each animal in the Chinese Zodiac carries unique symbolism. The Rat symbolizes wit and resilience, thriving in human environments despite its small size. The Ox represents diligence and endurance, revered in agrarian societies for its role in farming. The Tiger embodies bravery and authority, often associated with power. The Rabbit signifies gentleness and agility, admired for its charm. The Dragon, a totem of the Chinese nation, symbolizes nobility, auspiciousness, and strength, reflecting ancient creativity. The Snake conveys mystery and wisdom but also carries negative connotations due to its cold-blooded nature. The Horse stands for energy and progress, vital in ancient transportation and warfare. The Goat represents kindness and harmony, with its cultural value highlighted in the phrase &quot;the Goat signifies beauty.&quot; The Monkey symbolizes intelligence and playfulness, frequently featured in literature and art. The Rooster embodies punctuality and diligence, heralding the dawn. The Dog epitomizes loyalty, serving as a faithful companion. The Pig symbolizes abundance and fortune, its plump figure associated with prosperity. <br /> The Chinese Zodiac embodies profound philosophical ideas. It reflects the Chinese understanding of nature and life, linking humans and animals in a manner consistent with the philosophy of &quot;harmony between man and nature.&quot; （Needham，1956)The cyclical rotation of the twelve animals symbolizes the reincarnation of life and the passage of time, conveying themes of renewal and continuity. Additionally, the zodiac aligns with the Yin-Yang and Five Elements theory（ Eberhard，1986), with each animal corresponding to specific elemental attributes (e.g., Rat and Pig belong to Water; Ox, Dragon, Goat, and Dog to Earth). This interplay reflects ancient beliefs about the interconnectedness of all things and the balance of opposing forces. <br /> <br /> '''Inheritance and Innovation'''<br /> <br /> In modern society, the Chinese Zodiac holds substantial commercial value. In advertising, zodiac imagery is widely used to captivate consumers. For instance, during the Lunar New Year, brands launch campaigns featuring the year's zodiac animal to enhance visibility. Cultural products, such as zodiac-themed stamps, coins, toys, and jewelry, are also popular, serving as vehicles for cultural transmission. <br /> <br /> Globalization has propelled the Chinese Zodiac onto the world stage. In international exchanges, it represents Chinese culture, attracting global interest. Museums abroad often feature zodiac exhibits to showcase China's cultural heritage. Social media platforms also amplify its reach, enabling broader cultural exchange. <br /> <br /> To adapt to modernity, the zodiac has undergone creative transformations. Artists reinterpret traditional zodiac motifs using contemporary techniques, producing abstract or exaggerated works that resonate with modern aesthetics. Educational institutions integrate zodiac culture into curricula through workshops and crafts, fostering cultural awareness among students. Emerging technologies like VR and AR are also leveraged to create interactive zodiac experiences, offering fresh avenues for cultural preservation（UNESCO，2016）. <br /> <br /> '''References''':<br /> [1]Eberhard, Wolfram. A Dictionary of Chinese Symbols: Hidden Symbols in Chinese Life and Thought.
