Cultural Analysis: Providing More Thoughtful Language Services for International Friends
2025-01-03
The National Immigration Administration recently released an announcement to fully relax and optimize the transit visa free policy, extending the stay time of transit visa free foreigners in China from 72 hours and 144 hours to 240 hours (10 days), and adding 21 ports as entry and exit ports for transit visa free people, and further expanding the stay area. Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar? "China is firmly expanding its high-level opening-up and warmly welcomes friends from all over the world. While providing visa free services, it is also crucial to actively optimize language services. From basic tourism consultation to in-depth cultural exchange activities, thoughtful language services are needed as support. Good language services can enhance a country's image and strengthen international friendship. In a series of links such as customs, transportation, accommodation, tourism, and commerce, suitable language landscapes, comprehensive multilingual instruction systems, convenient consultation service windows, and emergency language service preparations can provide comprehensive, multi-level, and effective language support for foreign tourists, ensuring that international friends have a pleasant life during transit. Multi language tourism products that integrate cutting-edge technologies such as automatic translation, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) can provide immersive interactive travel experiences for international friends. According to the preferences of tourists from different countries and regions, we can also carefully design tourism routes, develop multilingual promotional texts and rich tourism products, such as Chinese food, customs and culture, smart agriculture, science and technology education, sports, traditional Chinese medicine, etc., so that international friends can fully experience the breadth and depth of Chinese culture and feel the hospitality of the Chinese people during the 10 day transit visa free period. Let the world hear the voice of China, see the beauty of China, and feel the charm of China. When the transit experience is transformed into beautiful memories, telling Chinese stories well can become a conscious action for friends coming to China to convey China's enthusiasm and strength. Fully leverage the value of Chinese language services and allow the world to deeply appreciate the beauty of China. Chinese is both Chinese and global. For international friends, mastering some concise Chinese words and expressions can better integrate into the local environment and deeply experience the beauty of China. With the continuous optimization of visa free transit policies, the market demand for short-term Chinese training is bound to increase. We should actively develop concise Chinese courses and cultural resources to help foreign friends quickly obtain basic information and engage in simple communication through concise Chinese. The vast and magnificent scenery described in Chinese, including the ice and snow of northern China, the mysterious and lush tropical rainforests of southern Xinjiang, the modern vitality of bustling cities in the east, and the peaceful and quaint ancient villages in the west... These rich and diverse natural and cultural landscapes inspire Chinese learners to explore this miraculous land of China. The visa free transit policy provides learners with valuable opportunities to practice language skills and explore Chinese culture in a real Chinese context. We should actively develop courses specifically designed for Chinese language research, such as "Chinese+Tourism," to integrate culture and tourism into international Chinese language teaching. This will help learners not only master Chinese, but also gain a deeper understanding of China's customs, history, and culture, becoming disseminators and ambassadors of Chinese culture, and serving as a bridge connecting different civilizations, enhancing mutual understanding, and friendship. A discourse system of co creation, integration, and sharing, presenting a beautiful China in a multi-dimensional narrative. China embraces the world, and the world needs China. Understanding the real China is the common expectation of people all over the world. Tourism is also a process of experiencing Chinese culture and eliminating misunderstanding. Nowadays, "ChinaTravel" has become a hot topic on many well-known online platforms around the world. "City is not City" has attracted much attention as a novel cultural publicity method. Overseas bloggers have become an important force in China's external discourse dissemination, and cultural tourism promotion has gradually become a unique international communication method. Discourse plays an increasingly important role in conceptual and emotional identification. We should encourage overseas bloggers to convey the rich cultural heritage and life scenes of Chinese society through their mother tongue or international lingua franca, and to surpass the limitations of cross-cultural language translation from the unique perspective of others, providing the international community with a richer and more diverse image of China. At the same time, it is also necessary to attach importance to the global expression of Chinese knowledge, continuously improve multilingual translation capabilities and translation quality, and carefully construct a discourse system that reflects both Chinese cultural ways and is easy for the international community to understand. We need to be able to use world languages to convey the Chinese spirit embodied in the saying 'no hero is without the Great Wall', and depict the beautiful scenery of China presented by the phrase 'clear and sparkling waters are the best'. In the interactive dissemination of multiple narratives, combining the profound cultural heritage of China with modern values promotes the international expression and global recognition of Chinese cultural knowledge. The Chinese civilization has had long-term exchanges and mutual learning with other civilizations in the world, and currently China is deeply integrated with the world. The further optimization of the visa free transit policy has made China's openness and inclusiveness more intuitive and perceptible. At this time, it is more necessary to give full play to the unique charm of language, improve the quality of language services in all links, so that international friends can fully and correctly understand China and spread the wonderful stories of Chinese path to modernization in their personal perception and interactive exchanges of tourism.
