“…As Barthes notes that all culture lies within the cultural codes which are open for analysis (Lorusso, 2015, p. 38), this research refers to the doctrines of Taoism and Confucianism in traditional Chinese aesthetics where they encompass a wide spectrum of social living (Pohl, 2018;Li, 2010). Chinese philosophical thoughts lack propositional rationale and show a correlative nature (Wang, 2017, p. 15).…”

PurposeThis paper examines the relationship between traditional timber frame structure and the diasporic identity of the Southern Fujianese Chinese community in West Malaysia. It analyses the cultural semiotics of Southern Fujianese traditional Chinese temple timber frame structure architectural language. This study addresses the under-examined domain of Chinese cultural identity representation through the architecture of traditional Chinese temples in Malaysia. It seeks to understand its underlying structure and process involved in revealing its disposition within the cultural phenomena from the perspective of Chinese cultural semiotics.Design/methodology/approachSelected Southern Fujianese traditional Chinese temples in West Malaysia built between the 18th to the 19th century that retain the traditional timber frame structure were investigated through field survey and focused publication review. Historical interpretive analysis and typological analysis supplement the cultural semiotics analysis to assess the timber frame structure attributes concerning architectural language expressions.FindingsFindings reveal that the architectural language signifiers of the structural disposition of the timber framework and its corresponding formal articulation establish a clear statement of the Southern Fujian Chinese cultural identity.Originality/valueThe evaluation of the cultural identity signifiers helps to understand the underlying structure and process of the Chinese cultural semiotics in architecture. Results of this research substantiate the significance of timber frame structure in preserving the architectural heritage of the Southern Fujianese traditional Chinese temples. They provide important references for conservation and cultural studies of such building typology.

The article reveals the features of the formation and functioning of aesthetic research in such two areas of Marxism as Soviet and Chinese. The study identified three key stages in the development of aesthetics in Soviet Marxism – the pre-war (the 1920s and 1930s), late Stalinism and the Khrushchev thaw, and the late period (1970-1980s). It should be noted that in the context of Soviet Marxism, the key tasks were that aesthetics becomes influential and in-demand science, included in the program of "technical progress" and "education of the builder of communism", important ideological, aesthetic, and applied field of philosophy. Therefore, in addition to the fact that purely ideological works were developed within the framework of aesthetic discourse, aesthetics itself in Soviet Marxism was able to develop thanks to contacts with semiotics, psychology, anthropology, cultural history, and sociology. Relying on a selective stream of translations of Western philosophies of art, Soviet aesthetics is beginning to resonate with global trends, which is facilitated by the unspoken consensus of the idea of aesthetics as a part of philosophical and humanitarian knowledge that has its own autonomy. Proved that in China culture and the cultural revolution are inextricably linked with the Marxist projects of critiquing capitalist modernity and building alternative modernity. Aesthetics and culture also were at the center of attention in Chinese Marxist circles. In this respect, the diverse practices and designs of Chinese Marxism are similar to those of Western Marxism or an equally distinct variety of Euro-American Marxist intellectual enterprises. Aesthetic Marxism in China had a dual mission – to criticize the internal contradictions of revolutionary hegemony and to offer a constructive vision of culture in a post-revolutionary society. This is the value of Chinese aesthetic Marxism, the implications of which go beyond China proper in the world of global cultural criticism. Moreover, being non-Western, Chinese aesthetic Marxism deliberately questioned the inherent Eurocentrism of Marxism. If this Eurocentrism is to be challenged and problematized, the questions posed by Chinese aesthetic Marxists cannot be ignored.

We determine the content of natural scenery material in landscape painting based on the artistic characteristics and techniques of traditional Chinese landscape paintings. The 3Dmax software in 3D modeling technology is selected as the main modeling tool, and the construction of the 3D scene of landscape painting is completed based on the IFS theory (Iterative Function System Theory), and then the scene is rendered and texture synthesized, and the virtual landscape mood space is displayed, and the fusion of natural scenery and 3D modeling technology is finally realized. The analysis of the research data reveals the integration of natural scenery and 3D modeling technology. The results show that the iterative function system quickly generates the natural scenery scene in the landscape painting by continuously regulating, changing, and controlling the parameters in the affine transformation (the influence factor of each branch is 0.9, 0.7, 0.4, and 0.15). While the static rendering speed of 47 is slower than the dynamic rendering speed of 34, the overall rendering speed still meets the real-time detection criteria, confirming that 3Dmax is capable of achieving dynamic real-time rendering of 3D mountain models. The regression coefficient for high efficiency is 0.208, with a significance level of 0.005, indicating a significant positive impact on user experience. The higher the efficiency, the better the user experience, revealing the mechanism behind the interactive 3D scene. This study promotes the integration of natural scenery and 3D modeling technology to further develop the digital research of Chinese landscape painting.
