The Cầu Phết Festival of Sơn Vi village, Phùng Nguyên commune, Phú Thọ province, is a folk cultural practice bound up with the worship of the Tutelary Deity (Thành Hoàng), with legends of the Hùng Kings era, and with hopes for a peaceful new year and a favourable harvest. Drawing on descriptive sources concerning the village’s sacred sites, local legends, ritual offerings and the ball-snatching game, this article systematises the principal components of the festival and analyses its historical and communal-memory value, its religious and belief value, its role in social cohesion, and its significance as a folk cultural practice. The article also identifies several issues that warrant attention in safeguarding and promoting this heritage: documenting folk knowledge, sustaining the community’s role as the bearer of the heritage, ensuring safety in staging the game, and linking the festival with heritage education and responsible cultural tourism.

French Missionary Dallet (1874) wrote in his book that the thousand character essay was long time used for learning Chinese characters both for Chinese children and for Korean children. The thousand character essay is called as Tcheonzamun(千字文) in Korea (Han, 1583). The theme of Tcheonzamun might be the loyal to the king or the respect to the parents (www.chinasage.info/1000character-classic.htm). Recent researchers thought that the theme is the love between the husband and the wife (Park et al., 2021; Kim, 2023; Kim and Park, 2026; Park and Kim, 2026). The thousand character essay is called as Tcheonzamun in Korea (Han, 1583). The range of this study is of (Tcheonzamun 305th-320th). Somewhat old Tcheonzamun book (Han, 1583) was used for this study. The deleting method was used for this translating work (Kim, 2023; Kim and Park, 2026; Park and Kim, 2026). The mark of [ ] indicates the deletion on the same Chinese character. And the mark of ( ) shows the deletion of similar part between the different Chinese characters on the same line or on the same Chinese character (Kim and Park, 2026; Park and Kim, 2026). The line is four letters of Chinese character, for example, 305-308 學(Hag) 優(Woo) 登(Deung) 仕(Sa). The translation was carried out only with the remained part(s) of the Chinese character after deletion. The present study concerns the translation of Tcheonzamun poem. The title of this study is ‘The Lord of us, Augustin and Hyeonhi, orders to the husband. “You, the husband(人) Augustin! Do you want to live(厂) long(丨)? Please, talk(口) again(丿) and again(丶) together(ll) with your wife Hyeonhi! (存(Zon) 以(I) 甘(Kam) 棠(Dang))” (Tcheonzamun 305th-320th)’. <Number in Tcheonzamun(the thousand character essay). Chinese character (Pronunciation shown in Korean language on English alphabet).> There are two replications of each line. It is in order to compare the deleted Chinese character with the original Chinese character. 305-308 學(Hag) 優(Woo) 登(Deung) 仕(Sa). 305-308 學(Hag)-[ㅑ-ㅕ]-[乂-乂]-[冖-了]=一. 優(Woo) -亻=憂. 登(Deung). 仕(Sa)-亻=士. My colleague wife in the world! If you are going to make your sorrow(憂) great(一). Please, do respect(登) your husband(士)! Respecting only the husband results in the big problem of the family. Supposing that (305-308 學(Hag)-[ㅑ ㅕ]-[乂-乂]-[冖-了]=一. 優(Woo) -亻=憂. 登(Deung). 仕(Sa)-亻=士) were ABCD, the order of translation is BADC. It is the type of Korean language. In detail, it is verb1+object1+verb2+object2. 309-312 攝(Seob) 職(Zig) 從(Zong) 政(Zeong). 309-312 攝(Seob)-耳-[耳-耳]=扌. 職(Zig)-耳-戈=日立. 從(Zong)-彳=小之. 政(Zeong)-攵-下=亠. My husband! You are opposite(亠) to my(小) plan(之) to do something. It is as if you use your hands(扌) in order to raise(立) the sun(日). My husband! It is not possible! Supposing that (309-312 攝(Seob)-耳-[耳-耳]=扌. 職(Zig)-耳-戈 =日立. 從(Zong)-彳=小之. 政(Zeong)-攵-下=亠) were ABCD, the order of translation is CDAB. As well as BADC shown in the previous line, CDAB is the type of Korean language. In detail, it is the type of Korean language. In detail, it is object2+verb2+object1+verb1. 313-316 存(Zon) 以(I) 甘(Kam) 棠(Dang). 313-316 存(Zon)-子= 厂丨. 以(I)-山(子)=人. 甘(Kam)-三=ll. 棠(Dang)-小(三)-[冖-十(冖)]=口丿丶. The Lord of us, Augustin and Hyeonhi, orders to the husband. “You, the husband(人) Augustin! Do you want to live(厂) long(丨)? Please, talk(口) again(丿) and again(丶) together(ll) with your wife Hyeonhi! 317-320 去(Keo) 而(I) 益(Ik) 詠(Yeong). 317-320 去(Keo). 而(I)-一-勿=丿. 益(Ik)-[八-儿]-勿-一=一. 詠(Yeong)=言永. My husband! You do not really want it! Anyway, we suppose that you desired to be ruined. “My husband! You are going to make nothing (去) of prosperous or of advance (丿). Please make (一) you(my husband) solely continue(永) to say(言)! Our family will become such a poor condition!” And supposing that (317-320 去(Keo). 而(I)-一-勿=丿. 益 (Ik)-[八-儿]-勿-一=一. 詠(Yeong)=言永) were ABCD, the translating order will be BADC. This is the style of Korean language. In detail, verb1+object1+verb2+object2.

French Missionary Dallet (1874) described that the thousand character essay has been long time before B.C. 200 until now, and it has been utilized as a primary learning book for Chinese character both for Chinese children and Korean children. The thousand character essay is called in Korea as Tcheonzamun (Han, 1583). This somewhat old Tcheonzamun book(Han, 1583) was used for the present study. The deleting method was used for the translation of the Tcheonzamun poem on viewpoint of Korean grammar. The theme of this study is as follows. 321-324(1) 樂(Lag or Nag) 殊(Su) 貴(Gwi) 賤(Tcheon). 321-324(1) 樂(Lag or Nag)-[幺-幺]-木=白. 殊(Su)-人-木=歹. 貴(Gwi)-亠(人)-貝=口. 賤(Tcheon)-貝= 戔. My husband!

The thousand character essay is called as Tcheonzamun(千字文) in Korea (Han, 1583). It is well known that Tcheonzamun was created by Chinese people (Han, 1583), and it is translated on Chinese grammar (www.chinasage.info/1000character-classic.htm). However, recently several researchers suggested that Tcheonzamun poem is well translated on Korean pronunciation of Chinese character (Kim, 2023) and on the deleting method (Kim and Park, 2026; Park and Kim, 2026). Park et al., (2021) suggested that Tcheonzamun is well translated on Korean grammar. The present researchers will try to translate Tcheonzamun on the deleting method. The deleting method was found by chance (Kim, 2023). The mark of [] indicates the deletion on the same Chinese character, and the mark of () shows the deletion of similar part between the different Chinese character or on the same Chinese character. Only remained part(s) of Chinese character will be useful for the translation. The range of this study is (Tcheonzamun 337th-352nd). Somewhat old Tcheonzamun book was utilized for the present study (Han, 1583). The title of this study is ‘My Husband! Do you want that we, you and me(your wife) (二), shall become one(入)? My Darling Husband! Please, respect me(我) as if I were your mother(母)! (入(Ib) 奉(Bong) 母(Mo) 儀(Eui)) (Tcheonzamun 337th-352nd)’.

The synergy between new-type urbanization (NTU) and low-carbon transition constitutes a vital pathway for reaching Chinese “dual carbon” targets. Present research predominantly focuses on socio-economic dimensions such as their interactive mechanisms and spatial governance strategies, while exhibiting insufficient attention to industrial perspectives. Thus, this study employs panel data of 30 Chinese provinces spanning 2008-2022 and exploits a panel two-way fixed effects model to investigate the association between NTU and the low-carbon development of tourism industry (LCDTI) through the analytical lenses of green technology innovation (GTI) and government intervention (GI), here GI is divided into green tax (GT) and financial subsidies (FS). The study shows: (1) NTU, GI, and GTI all significantly promote the LCDTI. (2) FS and GTI exhibit positive moderating effects on the association between NTU and LCDTI, whereas GT exhibits a negative moderating effect. (3) The moderating effects of FS and GTI display pronounced regional heterogeneity. Building upon these findings, this study proposes a tripartite synergistic framework integrating “targeted FS + GTI + optimized GT”. It emphasizes that high-economic-development regions should prioritize a “targeted FS + GTI” approach, while low-level regions should adopt a “GTI + optimized GT” paradigm to advance the LCDTI. Theoretically, this study enriches the industrial perspective research related to NTU; practically, it delivers implementable regional differentiation solutions for LCDTI.

French Missionary Dallet (1874) wrote in his book that the thousand character essay has been for long time used as the textbook for Chinese characters both for Chinese children and for Korean children. It is widely acknowledged that Tcheonzamun was created by Chinese people (Han, 1583; www.chinasage.info/1000character-classic.htm). However, this masterpiece in Eastern Asia, Tcheonzamun, is the source of mystery. Because Tcheonzamun poem can be translated well on Korean pronunciation of Chinese character (Kim, 2023) and on Korean grammar (Park et al., 2021). Such results hint the next suggestion; Korean-language speaking people made Tcheonzamun. In the present study, deleting method will be used for the translation of Tcheonzamun (Kim and Park, 2026; Park and Kim, 2026). The range of this study is 16 letters of (Tcheonzamun 273rd-288th). The book used on the present study is somewhat old (Han, 1583). The main direction for Tcheonzamun translation has naturally been on Chinese grammar (www.chinasage.info/1000character-classic.htm). Recently, several researchers suggested the translation on Korean grammar (Park et al., 2021) or that on Korean pronunciation (Kim, 2023). The method for the present study is on the deletion method (Kim and Park, 2026; Park and Kim, 2026). The mark of [] shows the deletion on the same Chinese character. The mark of () indicates the deletion of similar part of Chinese character of Tcheonzamun. The translation was carried out only on the remained part(s) of Chinese character after the deletion. The title of this study is ‘My husband! Do you want me(your wife)(厶) to live well(丨)? My dear husband! Please, spend your joyful time(息) with me(your wife) together(一)! (川(Tcheon) 流(Lyu) 不(Bul) 息(Sig)) (Tcheonzamun 273rd-288th)’. There are two replications for each line (of four Chinese characters). It is in order to compare the deleted form of Chinese character with the original Chinese character (Kim and Park, 2026; Park and Kim, 2026). <Number in Tcheonzamun(the thousand character essay). Chinese character (Pronunciation shown in Korean language on English alphabet).> 273-276 川(Tcheon) 流(Lyu) 不(Bul) 息(Sig). 273-276 川(Tcheon)-ll=丨. 流(Lyu)-冫(ll)-[丶-一(丶)] -小=厶. 不(Bul)-小=一. 息(Sig).

What (之) I, your wife, (女) want is to talk (口) with you even such a small time (厶) through (冂) the night (夕)! In other words, it can be said as follows. “My lovely wife Hyeonhi (女)!

French Missionary Dallet (1874) in his book described that there are many differences between China and Korea, and he indicated the thousand-character essay has been utilized both in Korea and in China for their children for Chinese characters. The thousand-character essay is called as Tcheonzamun(千字文) in Korea (Han, 1583). The main stream for the translation of Tcheonzamun has been on Chinese grammar (Thousand-Character Classic -千字文 Qiān zì wén). Recently, several researchers tried to translate Tcheonzamun poem on Korean grammar (Park et al., 2021; Kim, 2023). The present study will be done on Korean grammar. The thousand-character essay is called as Tcheonzamun in Korea (Han, 1583). There are three methods for the translation of Tcheonzamun poem on Korean grammar. The first one is the translation on the meaning of Chinese character on Tcheonzamun (Park et al., 2021). The second one is through Korean pronunciation of Chinese character (Kim, 2023). The third one, the present method for this study, is on the deleting method (Kim and Park, 2026; Park and Kim, in press). Usually, the deletion of the same part will be done between the different Chinese characters on the same line of the poem. The line is, for example, 241-244 資(Za) 父(Bu) 事(Sa) 君(Gun). However, there is the deletion of the similar part, and the deletion on the same Chinese character. The mark of [ ] shows the deletion of the same or the similar part on the same Chinese character. The mark of ( ) indicates the deletion of similar part. Somewhat old Tcheonzamun book(Han, 1583) was used for this work. The range of this study is (Tcheonzamun 241st-256th). This work concerns the translation of Tcheonzamun poem. The title of this study is ‘My husband! Are you going to love(心) me(your wife) constantly(丨)? My dear husband! At first, you have to control(聿) yourself(卩) well! (忠(Tchung) 則(Tchig) 盡(Zin) 命(Myeong)) (Tcheonzamun 241st-256th)’. There are two replications of each line. It is in order to compare the deleted Chinese character with the original one. <Number in Tcheonzamun(the thousand character essay). Chinese character (Pronunciation shown in Korean language on English alphabet).> 241-244 資(Za) 父(Bu) 事(Sa) 君(Gun). 241-244 資(Za)-二-口-[丿-丶(丿)]=次. 父(Bu)-八=乂. 事(Sa)-⊃-二-口=亅. 君(Gun)-十(八)-⊃=口. My husband! You tell me(your wife) “If you do not want(次) to die(乂), please stop(亅) saying your words(口)!” Supposing that (資(Za) 父(Bu) 事(Sa) 君(Gun)) were ABCD, the translating order is BADC. This is the main method for the translation of Tcheonzamun poem. 245-248 曰(Wal) 嚴(Eom) 與(Yeo) 敬(Gyeong). 245-248 曰(Wal)-口=一. 嚴(Eom)-口-口-厂-攵-T=耳. 與(Yeo). 敬(Gyeong)-口-勹(厂)-攵-十(T)=十. My husband! You always want to be with me (your wife) together. My husband! If you want to be with me together (與) ten times (十), you had better hear (耳) once (一) my word. This is the style of Korean language. Supposing that (曰(Wal) 嚴(Eom) 與(Yeo) 敬(Gyeong)) were ABCD. The order of translation is CDAB. This is the minor method. 249-252 孝(Hyo) 當(Dang) 竭(Gal) 力(Lyeog). 249-252 孝(Hyo)-土-丿-亠=亅. 當(Dang)-土-口-冖-小=冂. 竭(Gal)-口-一(丿)-勹(冖)-小-亠=匕. 力(Lyeog). My husband! Do you want to live strongly(力) on eating the food with chopsticks(匕)? My husband! Please abandon(冂). your rough mind(亅) for me(your wife). The order of translation is CDAB. 253-256 忠(Tchung) 則(Tchig) 盡(Zin) 命(Myeong). 253-256 忠(Tchung)-口-丨=心. 則(Tchig)-目-人-亅(丨)=丨. 盡(Zin)-皿(目)-丿=聿. 命(Myeong)-人-口-一(丿)=卩. My husband!
