Innovative Performance Practices in the Fusion of Traditional and Modern Music: A Comparative Study of Chinese and Korean Musical Cultures

Feifei Yang(Feifei Yang) Korea Institute for Humanities and Social Sciences 2024 PROCEEDINGS of the International Conference on Cul Vol.1 No.-

Against the backdrop of globalization and cultural diversity, the integration of traditional and modern music has emerged as a significant trend in contemporary music development. This paper takes the musical cultures of China and Korea as research subjects, employing comparative and field research methodologies to analyze and compare representative cases of traditional and modern music integration in both countries. The findings reveal that the integration of traditional instruments with modern music in China and Korea not only preserves the cultural essence of these nations but also endows traditional instruments with new expressive capabilities, reflecting distinct regional and cultural musical styles. Furthermore, Chinese traditional vocal music, centered on “classical poetry”, “opera”, and “folk songs”, exhibits unique cultural depth and creative tension. In contrast, Korean music, focusing on Pansori and folk songs, emphasizes innovation in narrative and expressive techniques. Through integration and comparison with modern music, this study uncovers the practical value of combining traditional and modern music in cultural inheritance and innovation, providing broader perspectives for the performance and application of integrated music in China and Korea.

Jiatong Liang(Jiatong Liang),Chenxi Zhao(Chenxi Zhao),Zhibo Zhang(Zhibo Zhang) Korea Institute for Humanities and Social Sciences 2024 PROCEEDINGS of the International Conference on Cul Vol.1 No.-

The iterative advancement of generative artificial intelligence has a significant influence on the cultural reproduction of film and television. While the film and television industry is undergoing a process of multi-dimensional empowerment, it is also confronted with a series of unprecedented challenges. Shaanxi Film and Television has been a pivotal contributor to the advancement of film and television in China. The conjunction of generative artificial intelligence with this field has given rise to a number of hitherto unanticipated risks, including the homogenization of creativity, the emergence of copyright disputes, and a potential loss of value. This paper presents an in-depth analysis of the current state of cultural reproduction in Shaanxi film and television. It discusses the positive role of human-machine collaboration in the collaborative creation of script content, the improvement of audio-visual simulation levels, and the popularization of technology in the cultural reproduction of Shaanxi film and television. The proposal is to adhere to the concept of “creator-led, technology-participating,” to create an innovative environment for human-machine collaboration, to formulate standardized script generation copyright norms, and ultimately to realize a new path for cultural reproduction of Shaanxi film and television that aligns the value of human-machine collaboration. In order to achieve comprehensive empowerment of Shaanxi film and television culture through generative artificial intelligence technology and to promote the healthy development of the film and television industry, it is hoped that the technology can be further improved and the inheritance can be further expanded.

王子航(Zihang WANG) Korea Institute for Humanities and Social Sciences 2025 Journal of Global Arts Studies (JGAS) Vol.3 No.2

[Background]As humanity's understanding of the world continues to deepen, our position in the vast universe has become increasingly ambiguous. This concept of “ambiguity” has gradually permeated contemporary art and design, particularly standing out in the field of visual communication design. As a medium that blends information dissemination with artistic expression, visual communication design is undergoing a shift from explicit representation toward ambiguous and polysemous forms of expression. [Objective]This study focuses on “ambiguous expression” in visual communication design, thoroughly investigating its practical application value and representational characteristics, with the aim of providing theoretical support and creative inspiration for contemporary designers. [Method] The study employs a combined methodology of literature analysis and case studies of representative design works. It examines ambiguous expression through multiple lenses—including form, methodology, emotional resonance, and aesthetic principles—to systematically delineate its core characteristics. Furthermore, the research explores practical application strategies through cultural element extraction, the interplay of tangible and intangible design elements, and gradient aesthetics. [Results] The research demonstrates that ambiguous design can effectively enhance the inclusivity, openness, and artistic quality of visual communication, while possessing multidirectional interpretability and heightened emotional expressiveness. Its characteristics—including abstraction, polysemy, and symbolic transformation—significantly enrich the expressive repertoire of visual language. [Conclusion] Ambiguous expression represents not merely an innovation in design language, but more significantly serves as a crucial driver propelling visual communication art toward humanization, avant-garde experimentation, and futuristic development. It expands the boundaries of design practice and opens new possibilities for the evolution of future visual language systems. 【背景】随着人类对世界认知的不断深入,人类在浩瀚宇宙中的定位变得日益模糊。这种“模糊性”观念也逐步渗透到当代艺术与设计领域,尤其在视觉传达设计中表现尤为突出。视觉传达设计作为一种融合信息传播与艺术表达的手段,正经历从明确表达向模糊、多义表达的趋势转变。 【目的】本文旨在以视觉传达设计中的“模糊性表达”为研究核心,深入探讨其在设计实践中的应用价值和表现特征,为当代设计师提供理论支持与创作思路。 【方法】文章通过文献分析与典型设计案例研究相结合的方法,从模糊性表达的形式、方法、情感及审美等角度入手,归纳其核心特征。同时,从文化元素提炼、虚实结合设计、渐变美学等策略角度探讨其实际运用路径。 【结果】研究表明,模糊性设计能有效增强视觉传达的包容性、开放性与艺术性,具有多向解读性和高度的情感表达能力。其抽象性、多义性、符号转化等特征,丰富了视觉语言的表现手段。 【结论】模糊性表达不仅是一种设计语言的创新,更是推动视觉传达艺术向人性化、前卫化、未来化方向发展的重要手段。它拓展了设计的边界,为未来视觉语言体系的演变提供了新的可能性。

A Comparative Analysis of Art Fairs Based on the Resource-Based Theory—A Case Study of Frieze London and Frieze Seoul Art Fairs

郎潇(Xiao LANG) Korea Institute for Humanities and Social Sciences 2025 Journal of Global Arts Studies (JGAS) Vol.3 No.2

[Background] In recent years, the research on art fairs has gradually emerged as a focus of attention in the academic realm. Previous art fair research, mainly single-case or regional, lacks cross-national comparisons and strong theoretical grounding. This article endeavors to bridge this research gap by undertaking a systematic comparison of two significant art fairs, namely Frieze London and Frieze Seoul, from the perspective of the resource-based theory (RBV). [Objective] This article uses Resource-Based Theory (RBV) to compare Frieze Seoul and Frieze London. It identifies similarities and differences in their core resources and capabilities, analyzing how policy environments, cultural characteristics, and market demands influence their resource integration strategies. [Method] Based on the RBV Theory, this paper employs a comparative case study approach to analyze the allocation of both tangible and intangible resources at Frieze London and Frieze Seoul. It investigates how these resource allocations impact their market performance and sustainable development, and further explores their respective resource allocation strategies and strategic implementation in diverse market environments. [Results] A comparative study of Frieze London and Frieze Seoul reveals their distinct strengths. Frieze London maintains its global lead due to its rich art history, mature market, and extensive educational resources. Meanwhile, Frieze Seoul, bolstered by Korea's strong cultural industry, robust government support, and rising demand in emerging markets, shows strong growth and is becoming a key player in the Asian art market. [Conclusion] The study finds that proactive policy support from the Korean government (e.g., tax incentives, cultural industry development plans) fosters a favorable environment for its art market. In contrast, London needs to optimize its art market competitiveness in the wake of post-Brexit policy adjustments. Furthermore, Frieze Seoul's success demonstrates that integrating local cultural traits and market demands can effectively boost art market development. 【背景】近年来,艺术博览会研究逐渐成为学术界关注的热点。然而,现有研究多集中于单一案例或区域分析,缺乏跨国比较视角,且理论框架的应用相对薄弱。本文试图弥补这一研究空白,通过资源基础理论的视角,对伦敦和首尔两个重要艺术博览会进行系统比较。 【目的】本文运用资源基础理论(RBV),对首尔弗里兹艺术博览会与弗里兹伦敦艺术博览会进行了对比分析。通过梳理两个博览会的资源与能力,探讨两博览会的核心资源与能力方面的异同,探索不同政策环境、文化特质与市场需求如何影响其资源整合路径。 【方法】本文以资源基础理论为理论框架,综合运用比较研究法与案例分析法,深入探讨两个艺术博览会在有形资源与无形资源方面的配置及其对市场表现和可持续发展的影响,并进一步剖析其在不同市场环境下的资源配置策略与战略实施路径。 【结果】通过对弗里兹伦敦艺术博览会与首尔弗里兹艺术博览会的对比研究,揭示了两个博览会各自的优势和发展潜力。弗里兹伦敦凭借其深厚的艺术历史背景、成熟的市场体系和丰富的教育资源,继续保持其在全球艺术市场的领先地位。然而,首尔弗里兹凭借韩国强大的文化产业基础、政府的大力支持以及新兴市场的需求增长,展现出强劲的发展势头,并逐步成为亚洲艺术市场的重要力量。 【结论】研究发现,韩国政府的积极政策支持(如税收优惠、文化产业发展计划等)为艺术市场提供了良好的发展环境,而伦敦则需要在脱欧后的政策调整中进一步优化其艺术市场的竞争力。此外,首尔弗里兹的成功也表明,结合当地文化特色和市场需求的艺术博览会模式能够有效推动艺术市场的发展。

Xinle Min,Hongshuai Qi2,Yani Li1 KOREA INSTITUTE FOR HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES 2024 Journal of Arts and Cultural Studies(ACS) Vol.3 No.1

Background: The classical gardens of China and South Korea, rich in traditional cultural connotations, provide a respite from the emptiness and anxiety brought by modern society. This is closely tied to the involvement of scholarly hermits, who represented the learned and morally cultivated class in the ancient garden constructions of both countries. Studying the spatial characteristics of these hermitage gardens is important for modern spatial design. Purpose:This research compares representative residential hermitage gardens in China and South Korea - the Lüdao Fang Residence Garden and the Yin Zheng Ancient Residence. It identifies the similarities and differences in their spatial features and the reasons behind these variations.It also explores the potential applications of these characteristics in contemporary spatial design. Methods: The study begins with a literature review to define the concept of hermitage gardens. It then proceeds with on-site and documentary research of the Lüdao Fang Residence Garden and the Yunjeong Gotaek, analyzing and comparing the spatial attributes of these two gardens. Results: Both gardens reflect the hermitage philosophies of "Moderate Reclusion" and "Confucian Hermitage," chosen for their locations in scenic, tranquil, and harmonious settings. However, their relationships with urban areas differ; both prioritize the creation of spaces that are secluded yet connected. Conclusion: Analyzing and comparing their reclusive cultural characteristics deepens and refines the understanding of Chinese garden art theory and hermit culture. It also provides a theoretical foundation for further exploring their revitalization and promoting creative transformation and innovative development in Eastern classical garden art.
