CULTURAL INDUSTRY- the China Brand name

,

Significance of Cultural Industry: MadamThatcher : China will not be powerful. It exportsTVs, not Ideas.

()

High Profit Margin and Fame of CulturalIndustry: Hollywood and Bollywood .

Timeliness and readiness of Cultural Industry of China, internationally and domestically: fromBruce Lee to Mulan




, (Cont. 1)

What Chinese Culture can contribute to the world civilization:

A. Organic viewpoint of the universe, versus mechanic viewpoint fromthe west. Prof. Prigogine, (Nobel Prize, 1977), denoted Chinese

viewpoint of the nature in the first chapter of his book. He developed"Self Organization", "Irreversible thermodynamics", inspired byChinese views of nature.

B. Holistic medicineC. Philosophies (Confucianism, Taoism, etc). Clinton and Blair

advocated the third way (Centrism)

D. Esthetically, such as Garden and Dances (S shapes, or, stream-lines, as shown in the pattern of Yin-Yang, prevail in China; versusstraight lines, as defined in Euclidean geometry in the west)Ô




, (Cont. 2)

E. Zen addresses the limitations of logical thought, LikeGödel's Incompleteness Theory

F. Martial art, Tai-chi, etc.

G. Iconic language (Feynman originated of the Feynman

Diagram in particle physics. As a physicist and an artistFeynman was interested in Chinese Iconic language; it¶slike an ancient Unified Modeling Language, a pictoriallanguage for system design)

H. Unique painting, poetry, literature, music,craftsmanship, etc.

I. Harmony versus conquest/conflict (This applies vastly: human to human, human to nature, body to soul, elite tocommoner, intellectual to illiteracy, etc.).




, (Cont. 3)

A. Resonating an integrated experiences between the west and theeast. Experiences of modernization by a country outside of WesternEurope and America. Modernization, capitalist expansion,socialism and communism impart great stresses to cultural systemsboth in the west and the east. Needless to say the stresses onother cultures have been tremendous. Look at Japan, Hong Kong,Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, etc. Modern history showed their way of successful adaptation included solid traditions wheremodernizations leap from. Traditions provide cohesiveness,identity, security, trust, stability, order and values. Traditions are thefundamental and supreme calling of a society. Popularity of classical novels of Jin Yong has accompanied the process of

modernization of Chinese societies.

K. Liberated and explosive productivity and creativity in all fields




, (Cont. 4)

L. A per petual pursuit of peaceful, progressive and prosperousworld: ONE WORLD, ONE DREAM

M. The Book of Changes A shifting flow of probabilities for futureslies at the heart of theories associated with the I Ching , the Book of Changes. Probabilities take the center of the stage away from things

and people. A kind of "divine" volition sets the fundamental rules for the working out of probabilities in the universe, and human volitionsare always a factor in the ways that humans can deal with the realworld situations one encounters. If one's situation in life is surfing ona tsunami, one still has some range of choices even in that situation.One person might give up, and another person might choose tostruggle and perhaps to survive. The I Ching mentality is much

closer to the mentality of quantum physics than to that of Newtonian physics, and also finds parallelism in voluntarist or Existentialist (the West respects Han-ShanSe-Te)ideas of taking one's life as one's project.
