Innovative Illustration Design for the Cultural Content and Emotional Elements of Sichuan Opera Arts for China’s Gen Z
Abstract
With society rapidly evolving alongside digital technology and pan-entertainment, there is a notable decline in appreciation and understanding of Sichuan Opera among China’s Generation Z (Gen Z). This study aims to develop and evaluate the potential of innovative illustration as a tool to promote the cultural content and emotional elements of Sichuan Opera arts among China’s Gen Z. This qualitative participatory action-based research was guided by an iterative cycle of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. This study comprised three stages. In the pre-design stage, nine (9) experts were selected through purposive and snowball sampling to explore their views on the cultural content and emotional elements of Sichuan Opera arts. Thematic analysis with NVivo 12 yielded six (6) cultural content, i.e., a form of expression, performance occasions, performance techniques and dance movements, performance repertoire, character roles, costumes and make-up. The emotional elements encompassed the emotions expressed within Sichuan Opera itself (such as the characters’ roles and personalities and traditional morals and philosophies), as well as people’s emotions towards Sichuan Opera (including their yearning for its sentiment and their awareness of the need to protect traditional culture). These content and elements were visually expressed through three (3) innovative illustrations in the design stage. In the post-design stage, a sample of 25 China’s Gen Z from Chengdu was conveniently selected to evaluate the effectiveness of the illustrations. The use of innovative illustrations as a medium to promote the dissemination of the art of Sichuan Opera among China’s Gen Z has successfully merged traditional culture with modern aesthetics.

Significance
Scientific peer review has been a cornerstone of the scientific method since the 1600s. Debate continues regarding the merits of single-blind review, in which anonymous reviewers know the authors of a paper and their affiliations, compared with double-blind review, in which this information is hidden. We present an experimental study of this question. In computer science, research often appears first or exclusively in peer-reviewed conferences rather than journals. Our study considers full-length submissions to the highly selective 2017 Web Search and Data Mining conference (15.6% acceptance rate). Each submission is simultaneously scored by two single-blind and two double-blind reviewers. Our analysis shows that single-blind reviewing confers a significant advantage to papers with famous authors and authors from high-prestige institutions.
AimTo produce a framework for the development of a qualitative semi-structured interview guide. Background
Rigorous data collection procedures fundamentally influence the results of studies. The semi-structured interview is a common data collection method, but methodological research on the development of a semi-structured interview guide is sparse. DesignSystematic methodological review. Data sourcesWe searched PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus and Web of Science for methodological papers on semi-structured interview guides from October 2004-September 2014. Having examined 2,703 titles and abstracts and 21 full texts, we finally selected 10 papers. Review methodsWe analysed the data using the qualitative content analysis method. ResultsOur analysis resulted in new synthesized knowledge on the development of a semi-structured interview guide, including five phases: (1) identifying the prerequisites for using semi-structured interviews; (2) retrieving and using previous knowledge; (3) formulating the preliminary semi-structured interview guide; (4) pilot testing the guide; and (5) presenting the complete semi-structured interview guide. Conclusion
Rigorous development of a qualitative semi-structured interview guide contributes to the objectivity and trustworthiness of studies and makes the results more plausible. Researchers should consider using this five-step process to develop a semi-structured interview guide and justify the decisions made during it.
An approach of heritage elements re-creation based on design semiotics from industrial design was proposed for further exploring the application of heritage elements in modern product design. The culture integration in product design and the current situation of heritage elements re-creation were studied. The comprehension model of heritage elements based on design semiotics was present, including semantic dimension, syntactic dimension, context dimension and pragmatics dimension. The content, methods, process and key technologies of heritage elements re-creation based on design semiotics were put forward. Taken the china heritage in Zhejiang Provincial Museum as an example, a heritage elements re-creation innovation design system prototype was set up. Based on the system, a Ding Scratching Branch Lotus Lines Mallow-Petal Bowl re-creation example can be accomplished rapidly, including heritage elements extraction and sorting, design semiotics oriented design knowledge base, and heritage elements re-creatio, and the heritage elements re-creation based on design semiotics theory is test, which can provide references for cultural and creative industries, and cultural studies.
