In recent years, with the improvement of epidemic situation and the recovery of tourism industry, “study” travel has gradually become a new talent training mode of “travel+study”. However, as a new thing, while the research industry is developing rapidly, many of them are in trouble because of the lack of research on brand design. This paper will start from the perspective of brand design of research, take Xinyang Research in Henan as the research object, and promote the development of research in Xinyang , Henan through project planning, graphic design, IP design and other forms.
The Mazu belief is prevalent along the southeastern coast of China and has significant influence both domestically and internationally. In Guangxi, this tradition dates back to the Ming and Qing dynasties and has integrated with local cultural elements to form a unique belief system. The Mazu Festival, held once every three years, showcases distinct characteristics in the portrayal of Mazu and related objects. These distinctions are evident in clothing, body shaping, and line expression, all of which reflect the local aesthetics of Guangxi.

Following China’s economic reform and opening-up, contemporary Chinese documentary photography underwent a significant shift. The most notable transformation was the move from Socialist Realism photography to a new form of documentary photography. According to John Szarkowski, former Director of Photography at MoMA, this “new documents” differed from its predecessors by emphasizing “personal purpose” and focusing on “insights into life.” These characteristics became increasingly evident in Chinese contemporary documentary photography starting in the early 1980s. When Chinese photographers began to realize that documentary photography serving political purposes should give way to documentary photography reflecting society, the key Western influences that shaped their work were the new wave of documentary photographers emerging in the 1950s. This paper explores the work of six photographers and argues that understanding the shift to this “new documents” provides a crucial framework for comprehending the evolution of contemporary Chinese documentary photography.

The Great Nuo Picture《大傩图》collected by the Forbidden City in Beijing is a Song Dynasty genre painting, which depicts twelve people wearing strange costumes, wearing various hats, holding musical instruments or daily utensils, dancing and showing a joyful atmosphere. By interpreting the meaning of Nuo in various dynasties, it was determined that this was a Nuo opera activity that took place in the Jiangnan area during the Southern Song Dynasty. Based on the classification and research of the decorative patterns that appeared more frequently on the costumes of the characters in the painting, it was found that this may be a borrowed object from the painter. To express emotions, it expresses the expectation that the imperial court will regain its lost territory in the north as soon as possible. The painting not only has a strong atmosphere of the market, but also depicts exquisite and luxurious costumes. The fusion of two completely different artistic styles in the painting is obviously related to the special environment of the painters of the Southern Song Dynasty Painting Academy.
This paper examines how Large Language Model (LLM) chatbots are incorporated into Wuhan’s private undergraduate education. It evaluates the dependability of AI-generated information using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and emphasizes the significance of fostering critical thinking in Private Higher Education (PHE). The results point to a deficiency in critical thinking education as underclassmen appear to rely too much on chatbots. Less interaction with AI technologies is seen among arts students, which may indicate a mismatch with their creative requirements. The report criticizes China’s PHE for its profit-driven strategy and poor faculty development, and it makes recommendations for changes that would encourage responsible AI use, protect educational rights, and encourage critical thinking.

The role of new mainstream films in the dissemination of mainstream values has become more and more prominent in the context of new media, and college students, as one of the audiences of new mainstream films, also play an important role as the disseminators of mainstream culture. Using the grounded theory as a guide, 20 students from a university in the western region were selected as samples, and semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted. Nvivo12 Plus software was used to sort out and integrate the interview data, to refine the relevant concepts and categories, and to construct a model of the influence mechanism of new mainstream films on the cultural identities of students in western universities. The study finds that the evolution of new mainstream films on the cultural identity of college students in western universities can be divided into four stages: In terms of film dissemination: technological empowerment, promoting cultural waves; In terms of plot setting: rooted in reality, shaping positive cognition; In terms of cultural expression: subtle influence, enhance character cultivation; In terms of far-reaching impact: innovative expression, planting the seeds of culture. Grasping the internal logic of the mechanism is not only conducive to the dissemination of the mainstream value kernel of the film, but also to the cultivation of the socialist core values of young college students as well as the deeper cultural identity of the country.
With the rapid development of contemporary society, the diversification of architectural forms is increasing day by day. As an integral component of architectural art, murals play an indispensable role in enhancing the aesthetic appeal of urban architecture, elevating visual impact, and enriching traditional architectural decoration styles. In large part, modern mural artists focus their creations on specific building planes or curved surfaces while striving for seamless integration between mural design and architectural spaces. However, research on the relationship between architectural space form and mural design often remains limited to partial expressions with few studies exploring multi-dimensional external building murals. The multifaceted relationship between frescoes and architecture highlights that fresco itself is a spatial art form. This paper primarily examines the wall murals at Luo Zhongli Art Museum to study their interface with architectural spaces, analyzing various conversion forms, methods, and unique characteristics of these interfaces.

National memorial architecture serves as a testament to civilization, embodying and perpetuating a nation’s culture, values, and identity. It facilitates the preservation of historical events or memories for future generations to reference while symbolising national pride and unity. However, the conservation of such monuments currently faces numerous challenges, including the impact of unforeseeable forces, excessive tourism, and inadequate funding. In response to these challenges, this paper proposes a solution utilizing Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies for digital preservation. BIM enables comprehensive data collection of commemorative structures, while VR provides immersive virtual experiences, enhancing public understanding and engagement with these monuments. Using the People’s Heroes Memorial Tower in Zhangcun, Siming Mountain Martyrs Cemetery, Ningbo, Zhejiang, China, as a case study, this paper demonstrates the entire process of digital preservation and explores the potential applications of these technologies in safeguarding national memorial architecture.
The film “The 405 Murder Case” once achieved remarkable viewership in China during the 1980s, thanks to its multiple plot twists and tight pacing, intricately linked with its clever audiovisual language.
