Knowledge Dissemination From An InterCultural Perspective:A Study On The Collaborative Compilation Of The Wikipedia Encyclopedia "Laozi"

As a global platform for the production and sharing of knowledge and culture,knowledge sharers from different cultural backgrounds in the Internet Wikipedia complete the interpretation of specific knowledge based on common interests and hobbies.Therefore,Wikipedia may not only convey knowledge,but culture itself is interpreted and disseminated in different ways as a kind of knowledge in interaction.As the thoughts of Laozi were spread overseas by Western missionaries,the thoughts of Laozi showed a multi-path propagation ecology.In the process of "Laozi" entry compilation,based on the openness and publicity of Wikipedia,various communities can create ideographic and open text collaboratively,forming a "Wikipedia-style" interpretation of "Laozi" entries from the intercultural perspective.The article first takes the "Laozi" entry texts of 137 language communities as the research object,and glides into the dissemination of "Laozi" knowledge in these more than 100 language communities from three aspects: entry title naming,entry body knowledge construction,and entry references.Path law: Respectively,it is a network of mutual transmission with English as the authoritative language,and a core divergent transmission divided by country and language family.The two together form the transmission link of "Laozi" in the Wikipedia global community.Secondly,through the comprehensive analysis and comparison of all related images of Laozi's entries,it explores the use factors of Laozi's images in cross-community dissemination.Finally,this article shifts from static to dynamic,exploring the content of the dialogue between the wiki community and wiki editors behind the community entries,and sorting out the process by which they collaborate through interaction and jointly interpret Laozi's knowledge.Intercultural communication is the process of encountering and communicating with different nationalities,races,regions,languages,etc.ach community on the Wikipedia platform has differences in the perspective and method of compiling articles on "Laozi" due to its cultural background,editorial personal influence,etc.There is a "horizon" difference in the interpretation of "Laozi" entries,and the "horizon" of the heterogeneous cultural community in the process of dissemination is not unchanging,but in a dynamic organic process.In the process of collision with other horizons,there may be conflicts,deviations or exchanges and fusions,thus forming a new understanding,and finally forming what Gadamer said " Fusion of Horizons" together form a new cultural research horizon unique to Laozi on the Wikipedia platform.For Laozi's research,in addition to the "historical,text-oriented" classic text interpretation,try to integrate the "present,realistic-oriented" interpretations from different perspectives around the world,or find a brand new suitable and for reference the global spread of Chinese culture.
