The second "International Conference on the World of Chinese travel literature" was held

September 2009 in Hong Kong, to meet the 60th anniversary of the news has hit the newspapers from time to time, to coincide with this time, the second "International Conference on the World of Chinese travel literature" held here. This is the Chinese tourism in recent years, and research literature as a rare event. Discussion of the scholars invited to participate in more than 40 were from the Mainland, Hong Kong and Macao and overseas.

Based on the study of literature in recent years, domestic tourism and national workshops running low relative quiet, so this international symposium will be the creators and researchers more attention and more aroused the attention of the cultural sector. Meeting that day, the guests, scholars, journalists, college students and observers gather together more than a hundred people.

Than I had previously participated in travel writing workshop, I highlight the impression that the discussion of this meeting has a broader perspective, also has more innovative perspective. Since this seminar is to provide the basis of selected papers, so scholars have been meeting equal opportunity to speak with you to share in their achievements and experience, but also promoted the exchange of deeper, bringing more enlightenment.

Distinctive feature of the meeting, the research scholars are participants clearly exceeded the previous emphasis on the mainland of the tendency of classical literature, which show the travel literature of the ancient, modern, modern, contemporary, "four generations of both" pattern. The participants in their study, both macro-context for the Chinese travel literature of the sort, but also the exchange said dating style; both the analysis of different writers on the analogy, there are differences in the same genre work evaluation; the existing tourism literature Definition of the study, another writer, the experience of self-created voice; both the focus to the chant of overseas Chinese living in foreign land, but also study tour of China to foreign writers really think ... ... are numerous, have Yun-yun.

Theory of the Conference on the concept of travel literature has been significantly expanded. Meeting, scholars in addition to using "travel literature" natural language, but also put forward or use the "Travel in Literature", "living literature", "Walking Literature", "Diasporic", "exile literature" ... ... and "History and Travels," and so the name. If you seriously think these names, you can find, all these are not all called "Travel Literature" alias or branch. Because people mention the "Travel literature", they often can not help but think of the passage of the "tourist" definition of the term; and here's "Travel in literature" and "living literature", "Walking Literature" within the meaning of the name, but not today's "travel" beyond the words inclusive. Jinan University, Professor Wang Lieyao as pointed out, is different from the "Travel" and "living", the first is not "tourism" as a time limit, and "living" are mostly not for the purpose to spend, but rather to make money to work hard, distinct from the prevailing world "travel" to the classical definition, and tourists often feel very different, so the "living literature" reflected the depth of knowledge and personal experience, also with the previous "travel literature" has many differences.
