The Realistic Predicaments and Dissemination Paths of International Students’ Cognition of the Yellow River Cultural Image

国际学生对于黄河文化形象认知的现实困境与传播路径

Abstract

This study uses a questionnaire survey to find out how 160 foreign undergraduate students from the foreign Education College of a domestic university currently perceive Yellow River culture. The findings show that, with limited knowledge of Yellow River cultural symbols, international students' awareness of Yellow River culture is primarily at an early level. Their perception of Yellow River culture is mostly shaped by tangible items and cultural events. In order to improve Yellow River culture's reach and influence, the paper suggests a number of measures, such as bolstering the growth of official international social media platforms, motivating international students to share Yellow River cultural images via various forms of self-expression, incorporating Yellow River culture education into worldwide Chinese language instruction, and encouraging varied interpretations of Yellow River cultural symbols. These tactics seek to increase Yellow River culture's global dispersion and influence while also helping overseas students recognize and comprehend it better.本文通过对国内某师范类大学国际教育学院160位本科国际学生的问卷调查，探讨了国际学生对黄河文化的认知现状、存在的困境以及可能的传播路径。调查结果显示，国际学生对黄河文化的认知大多处于初级阶段，对黄河文化符号的认识不足，而文化体验和实物是他们感知黄河文化的主要渠道。本文提出了加强官方主导下国际网络社交平台建设、鼓励国际学生通过多种自媒体形式展示黄河文化形象、加强国际中文教育中的黄河文化教育以及促进黄河文化符号多样化表达等策略，以促进国际学生对黄河文化的理解和认同，推动黄河文化在国际上的传播和影响。
