In this volume, Chinese Auspicious Culture, we examine how Chinese folk customs have evolved over the centuries to become a natural science that includes a combination of multidisciplinary thoughts such as philosophy, geography, zoology, architecture and psychology. All these are elements of Chinese auspicious culture, which has been practised by the Chinese for fortune, prosperity and longevity. In order to survive in a world beset with calamities, the ancient Chinese had developed a variety of taboos and customs that must be observed, and they remain the guidelines for the people today.

From products we use to clothes we wear, and spaces we inhabit, we rely on colour to provide visual appeal, data codes and meaning. Color and Design addresses how we understand and experience colour, and through specific examples explores how colour is used in a spectrum of design-based disciplines including apparel design, graphic design, interior design, and product design. Through highly engaging contributions from a wide range of international scholars and practitioners, the book explores colour as an individual and cultural phenomenon, as a pragmatic device for communication, and as a valuable marketing tool. Color and Design provides a comprehensive overview for scholars and an accessible text for students on a range of courses within design, fashion, cultural studies, anthropology, sociology and visual and material culture. Its exploration of colour in marketing as well as design makes this book an invaluable resource for professional designers. It will also allow practitioners to understand how and why colour is so extensively varied and offers such enormous potential to communicate.

本书讲述了一个英国人独特而真实的长城故事。三十多年来，经历过各种苦与乐、失与得，威廉·林赛从长城的擅自闯入者，变成了有影响力的长城守护者和长城文化传播者。他用优美的文字描写了长城的壮美，细腻地表达了自己爱与深情。在通往长城事业的道路上，总有爱妻“美玉”坚定的支持与无私的奉献。他们定居在北京箭扣长城脚下，为来访的中外客人分享长城和他研究长城的故事，并带着他们身临其境。一切来源于长城，一切为了长城——这也成为了林赛一家子的生活方式。 Walking on the Great Wall of China: it's an experience of a lifetime. But for one man and one woman the Great Wall was to be so much more. Matchmaking. Life changing. Unfolding as a lifetime of experiences. In this extraordinary Great Wall reality story, William Lindesay relives three decades of his China life with Beautiful Jade. He experiences the Wall as a vast theatre for exploration and adventure. Together they adopt it as their cause for conservation. As a family the Lindesays create their unique WildWall lifestyle beside it. Exhilarating and humorous, frank and soulful, Great Wall, Beautiful Jade：My China Loves is an uplifting and inspirational account of a couple’s odyssey, their love for the Great Wall and the spirit of China that it embodies.
