Culture

In this project, I led my team members to investigate different aspects of the cultural dimensions of the sightseeing attractions of Changchun. Firstly, I documented the unique characteristics of Jingyue Garden, delving into its enchanting forest landscape, the allure of the snow tourism industry, and the deep-rooted Kanto culture, offering a comprehensive insight into this picturesque attraction. Secondly, I explored the fascinating world of film culture, analyzing its profound impact on Changchun Movie Wonderland. Through careful research, I summarized the intricate ways in which cinema shaped this local landmark, capturing the essence of Changchun's cinematic history. Lastly, I delved into the architectural and garden design of the Imperial Palace of the Manchu State, unraveling its cultural influences from Japan and Russia. By deriving these influences, I shed light on the rich tapestry of cross-cultural interactions that have shaped Changchun's architectural heritage, painting a vivid picture of the city's historical and cultural evolution.

In this project, I conducted a comprehensive analysis of coastal wetlands in Northeast China, spanning from the Ming Dynasty (1587) to 2009. My research involved reviewing the historical evolution of these wetlands, providing valuable insights into their development over centuries. Additionally, I explored innovative methods to harness wetlands as unique natural resources, focusing on the establishment of the Red Beach tourism industry, sustainable rice farming practices, and the growth of the reed industry. Through comparative studies, I examined diverse coastal wetland cultures in Northeast China, shedding light on their unique characteristics and influences.

In this project, my focus was on defining and introducing loanwords found in the 'Mukden Annals'. This involved categorizing loanwords into nouns, adjectives, verbs, and other linguistic categories. Through meticulous research, I identified and documented these borrowed words, shedding light on their origins and usage within the context of the 'Mukden Annals'. Additionally, I delved into the intricate nuances of these loanwords, summarizing them through three distinct means of adaptation. The first method involved the direct transfer of meaning from the source language to the recipient language. The second method explored how loanwords could change meaning based on their pronunciation in the new language, showcasing the fascinating interplay between sound and semantics. Finally, I examined compound words, where loanwords combined with native elements to create new, hybrid terms, highlighting the dynamic nature of linguistic evolution within the 'Mukden Annals'.
