China’s intangible cultural heritage as an important part and the soul of the traditional Chinese culture is the cultural treasure of China and even the world. As the concept of cultural protection is deeply rooted in the minds of people, the state attaches increasing importance to intangible cultural heritage. The unique forms of cultural expressions and the special places of these expressions are deeply rooted in the Chinese culture and they should also be an important content in China’s efficient ideological and political education. This article mainly explores the significance of intangible cultural heritage in ideological and political teaching as well as the strategies to effectively integrate intangible cultural heritage into ideological and political teaching in order to achieve the educational purposes of condensing the consensus of traditional Chinese culture, enhancing the cultural consciousness among teachers and students in colleges and universities, and enhancing the patriotic enthusiasm and cultural confidence.

Based on a review of the linkage between heritage education and citizenship education that includes cultural and inter-cultural education, this chapter provides a case study of heritage education in the Central Plains of China, which is one of the most important cradles of Chinese civilization with a splendid cultural heritage. Heritage education in this region helped youngsters to construct characters and qualities to be citizens. Even though heritage education is mainly a study of the past, Central China's past is not only “cultural” but also “inter-cultural” as it has been the traffic hub in history, and thus the growth of Chinese culture through the Central Plains is characterized by the absorption of diverse cultures passing through the hub. Its positioning is important for both teachers and students to reflect upon what we should be and how China can interact with other parts of the world in this age of globalization.

Ipr Protection

With the development of globalization, intangible cultural heritage (ICH) has come under increasing threat, making the safeguarding of ICH a crucial task for the governments and peoples of the world. This paper examines China’s current state of intellectual property (IPR) protection for ICH and proposes that ICH be placed under China’s legislative protection as intellectual property. Due to the immense diversity and complexity of ICH and the difficulty in reconciling various interests involved, the existing IPR protection mode faces many obstacles in practice. We present two case studies and three sets of recommendations on improving the protection of ICH in China. The first set relies on improving copyright protection for ICH, the second set relies on improving trademark and geographical protection for ICH, and the third set relies on improving patent protection for ICH.

Current Design

With the increasingly development and practice of interior design in China, designers are facing an important problem which requires them to have a good consideration,that is the culture reflected in their design is borderless.The urgent problem which comes to us now is try to reflect the inheritance and innovation of native culture in the interior design in a right way. Designers need to think better of returning to traditional Chinese culture and have it carried forward.The traditional culture and the taste of traditional aesthetic concept are well worth learning by designers, which is the foundation of the design. We should think deeply of current design behavior and face the reasonable direction of the development squarely, so as to make Chinese interior design more competitive in the world market.

Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian bodily discipline that has now become a global phenomenon. In 2014 the cultural significance of capoeira was recognized on the world stage when it was awarded the special protected status of an ‘Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity’ by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation. In the application to this organisation, and in wider advertising material and practitioner literature, capoeira is celebrated as a practice that promotes social cohesion, inclusivity, integration, racial equality and resistance to all forms of oppression. This paper seeks to problematize this inclusive discourse, exploring the extent to which it is both supported and contradicted in the gendered discourses and practices of specific capoeira groups in Europe. Drawing upon ethnographic data, produced through two sets of ethnographic research and the researchers’ 24 years of combined experience as capoeira players, this paper documents the complex and contradictory contexts in which discourses and practices of gender inclusivity are at once promoted and undermined.

Almost all over the world, archaeological museums present collections of prehistoric small houses made of clay, bronze and wood. These artefacts were part of tombs equipment, some of high artistic level. Models discussed in the article represent five different cultures from distant geographic regions: Egypt, Italy, Northern Poland, Western Mexico, and Honshu in Japan. Since these cultures were additionally separated on a timeline this excluded interaction between them. A number of articles published contains information about such artefacts. However, according to the best knowledge of the author none has tried to juxtapose and compare the oldest architectural models.

When people say Shanghai looks like the future the setting is almost always the same. Evening descends and the skyscrapers clustered on the eastern shore of the Huangpu light up. Super towers are transformed into giant screens. The spectacular skyline, all neon and lasers and LED, looms as a science fiction backdrop. Staring out from the Bund, across to Pudong, one senses the reemergence of what JG Ballard once described as an “electric and lurid city, more exciting than any other in the world.” The high-speed development of Pudong – in particular the financial district of Lujiazui – is the symbol of contemporary Shanghai and of China’s miraculous rise. Yet, Pudong is also taken as a sign of much that is wrong with China’s new urbanism. To critics the sci-fi skyline is an emblem of the city’s shallowness, which focuses all attention on its glossy facade. Many share the sentiment of free market economist Milton Friedman who, when visiting Pudong famously derided the brand new spectacle as a giant Potemkin village. Nothing but “the statist monument for a dead pharaoh,” he is quoted as saying. This article explores Pudong in order to investigate the way spectacle functions in China’s most dynamic metropolis. It argues that the skeptical hostility towards spectacle is rooted in the particularities of a Western philosophical tradition that insists on penetrating the surface, associating falsity with darkness and truth with light. In contrast, China has long recognized the power of spectacle (most famously inventing gunpowder but using it only for fireworks). Alongside this comes an acceptance of a shadowy world that belongs to the dark. This acknowledgment of both darkness and light found in traditional Chinese culture (expressed by the constant revolutions of the yin/yang symbol) may provide an alternative method for thinking about the tension between the spectacular visions of planners and the unexpected and shadowy disruptions from the street.
