Abstract

This article analyses the former residence of Xu Xiake (徐霞客; 1587–1641) in Jiangyin (江阴) from the theoretical framework of literary tourism. It looks at the instrumental use of his literary fame for the city branding of Jiangyin and for the economic development of the entire area. It also delves into the strategies used by the local government to exploit the site for cultural, economic and political purposes. It argues that Xu Xiake’s former residence is a literary attraction themed around filial piety and patriotism that has contributed to the construction and promotion of Jiangyin’s local identity, and that it is an example of politicized heritage used by the contemporary Chinese administration to revive Confucianism, rebuild moral standards and reinforce Chinese national identity.
文学旅游与城市品牌——江阴徐霞客故居的传承
本文分析徐霞客故居(徐霞客; 1587-1641)在江阴(江阴) 从文学旅游的理论框架出发。它着眼于他的文学声誉对江阴城市品牌和整个地区经济发展的重要作用。它还深入探讨了当地政府出于文化、经济和政治目的开发该遗址的策略。它认为徐霞客故居是一个以孝道和爱国主义为主题的文学景点,有助于江阴地方身份的建设和提升,也是当代中国政府利用政治遗产复兴儒家思想、重建道德标准和强化中国民族身份的一个例子。
