摘要:This study explores the temporal and spatial characteristics of social anxiety in contemporary China and the macro mechanisms of influences on it at the regional level by constructing a social anxiety index and a panel data model based on the Baidu search popularity of anxiety-related terms. The study shows that at the provincial level, the level of social anxiety has been fluctuating and increasing in recent years; in coastal and central regions, the level of anxiety is relatively higher and is further increasing over time; and in northern and northwestern regions, the level of anxiety is also increasing gradually. It is found through fixed-effects model that factors such as urbanization rate and housing price have a statistically significant impact on social anxiety at the provincial level. In this study, Baidu search index at the regional level is used to measure social anxiety and carry out research on mechanism, which is an attempt to use big data for macro-quantitative sociological analysis.
摘要:Advancing the modernization of national governance systems and capabilities requires smart governance. Smart governance is based on modern science and technology. It continuously promotes innovation in social governance and has important impacts on the subjects, means, approaches and objects of governance. From the perspective of the modern rule of law, smart governance includes coordinated governance of diversified subjects, which fully reflects the demand on subjects by the rule of law; smart governance advocates effective regulation of public power and fully reflects the core connotation of the rule of law; and smart governance emphasizes the enhancement of public service capabilities and fully reflects the essential requirements of the rule of law. Modern rule of law requires smart governance mainly because the spread of the idea of rule of law requires smart governance. The construction of a legal and regulatory system requires smart governance, and continuing implementation of the rule of law requires smart governance. Smart governance helps the construction of the rule of law, which is reflected in the fact that it can help the construction of the rule of law through modern science and technology, overall planning and institutional innovation. Smart governance is an important pathway to advancing China's construction of the rule of law.
摘要:Grass-roots deliberative democracy is an important way and practical platform to ensure and realize the critical interests of the mass at the grass-roots level. There is inter-connection between deliberative democracy and governance modernization at the grass-roots level, whereas the values, inherent endowment, and operative characteristics of deliberative democracy at the grass-roots level are highly compatible with grass-roots governance modernization and grass-roots deliberative democracy plays a fundamental role in the modernization of our governance system and governance capabilities. The construction of deliberative democracy cannot be achieved without proceduralization of grass-roots deliberative democracy: public consultation, neutral procedures, rational negotiation, equal and substantive participation, consideration of multiple parties’ interests are the basic principles for the construction of the grass-roots deliberative democracy mechanism. Those principles and rules are not independent but support each other. Units at the grass-roots level can establish their respective grassroots deliberative democracy procedures by following those basic principles and rules and adopting Robert’s rules of order, and advance the institutional construction of grass-roots deliberative democracy and modernization of grass-roots governance system and tools. Furthermore, it will make fundamental contributions to the modernization of our national governance system and governance capabilities.
摘要:As an important component of the modern national governance system, the core of judicial governance lies in the effective realization of the social function of justice. The social function of justice refers to the court’s ability to resolve social disputes and implement public policies through the use of its litigation status and the influence of typical cases. Influenced by the social demands of the transition period and the modernization model of the rule of law in China, the judiciary and other modes of social governance have been mixed and blended, resulting in the generalization and abuse of the social function of the judiciary, which is mainly manifested as follows: first, the social function of the judiciary has been generalized and understood as the social effects of the judiciary; second, extra-case factors interfere with the judiciary in a more subtle way; third, social change has brought about obstacles to the operation of the traditional mode of judicial governance, which is also a major challenge affecting the effectiveness of judicial governance. The main solutions to this problem include adhering to the "finite doctrine" of the social function of the judiciary, using legal methods to incorporate public policy into adjudication, and improving judicial governance in line with the goal of building a smart society.
摘要:Since the 1980s, fervent researches have been conducted on Xiao Hong at home and abroad because her works regained recognition as classics. And at the same time, it is not unrelated to Xiao Hong’s own tortuous and sad life experience. However, for the study of Xiao Hong's life, there are still many "dead ends", especially when it comes to several important aspects of her life. For example, did Xiao Hong’s father "steal another man’s wife and kill her husband" ? Who discarded Xiao Hong? What’s the real cause for Xiao Hong and Xiao Jun to break up and part forever? How should we evaluate Xiao Hong’s marriage to Duanmu Hongliang? Etc., etc. By combing different accounts of Xiao Hong’s life, especially her marriage experience, we can open up channels through certain "dead ends" in research on Xiao Hong, which can help to properly understand her intellectual and emotional experiences and establish the basis for in-depth studies and interpretations of Xiao Hong and her works.
摘要:In Mo Yan’s novels, rhetorical irony is more often manifested in the borrowing of political discourse, language contradictions and paradoxes, and the deliberate creation of exaggerations and distortions. By transplanting terms of a particular period and environment to another field, the change of context affects the original meanings of these particular terms, and the words become specious, thus producing the effect of irony. Situational irony, on the other hand, is the design of complex situations, mainly in the setting of narrative subjects, the nesting of multiple story structures, the parody of the text, and so on. It contains both the exploration of form and the irony of "truth and falsehood", and expresses the direction of meaning through form. Thematic irony is also common in Mo Yan’s works, where the revelation of characters’ fates reflects his ironic view of existing ideas. Imagery irony refers to the contradiction between the image and the symbolic meaning behind it, and it is precisely because of this contradiction that it can penetrate through the social mask to form paradoxes and ironic expressions.
摘要:The phrase "Jueditiantong" is found in Shangshu·Zhoushu·Lvxing, and Guoyu·Chuyu. Mr. Xu Xusheng interprets it in the context of religious development history as a result of Zhuan Xu’s religious reform in the ancient times, when shaman became a minority trade. Jueditiantong corresponds to the specialization of shaman and its influence is far-reaching. Upon analysis of relevant literature and archaeological materials, there is not sufficient evidence that Jueditiantong occurred before the Xia Dynasty. According to Shangshu·Lvxing, the earliest record of Jueditiantong, it was intended to allow the king of Zhou to monopolize the power for offering sacrifices to heaven, thus forming a hierarchical ritual system and eventually achieving the political goal of kingship worship. The record of Jueditiantong in Guoyu·Chuyu was put down to expound the views of the people of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty with the help of Lvxing, and was discussing exclusively the relationship between gods and humans, not the relationship between heaven and humans. The No. 3 site of Fengchu and the Temple of Heaven of Western Zhou at Chenzhuang, Gaoqing were positions of the heaven when the Zhou people offered sacrifices to heaven, which proves that in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, both the king and the vassals had the power to offer sacrifices to heaven. The idea that Jueditiantong appeared in the time of King Mu of Zhou corresponds with the records of Lvxing.
摘要:Buddhism was originated in India, and its economic thinking differs from traditional Chinese thinking, which takes social life as the main starting point. Instead, it regards the practice of Buddhism as the premise of all economic actions. This makes the Buddhist view of wealth, commerce and finance different from traditional Chinese economic ethics, and can form an important complement to Chinese economic ethics. The original Buddhist view of economy was based on the principle of righteousness, believing that as long as the acquisition and use of wealth was proper and not greedy, it was worthy of recognition. This idea gradually influenced the Chinese as Buddhism spread, expanding the moral boundaries of Chinese economic activities. After Buddhism was introduced to China, the monastic organizations first joined force with the family economy of the Eastern Jin and the Northern and Southern Dynasties to form a manorial monastic economy, whose extraordinarily active commodity economy, handicrafts, finance, and philanthropy had a comprehensive and profound impact on Chinese economic ethics. After the reform of Baizang Huaihai in the Tang Dynasty, Buddhist monasteries established a new jungle system combining agriculture and Zen, which was fully integrated into the Chinese economic system, and the religious spirit expressed therein became an indispensable part of Chinese economic ethics.
摘要:In the aftermath of the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, macro-prudential supervision has become the global common financial supervision strategy, which has caused major changes in the financial supervision framework and supervisory system of various countries. This paper studies the systemic risks in the securities market under the framework of macro-prudential supervision and analyzes the mechanism of the occurrence of systemic risks in the securities market in combination with cases of market crises. Based on the requirements of macro-prudential supervision, we construct a composite index that measures the systemic risk of the securities market including factors from the dimensions of macroeconomics, stock market and securities institutions. The results indicate that since 2000, the systemic risk index of securities market in China has constantly fluctuated. The systemic risk gradually declined before 2006, but has been increasing after 2008. Empirical results show that systemic risks in the securities market will increase substantially before each crisis. After measuring the systemic risk, this paper sets the early warning value of the systemic risk index and uses the Logit model to analyze the early warning factors to test the validity and reliability of the early warning value. The early warning of systemic risks in the securities market is an important part of macro-prudential supervision and the basis for the implementation of inverse periodic supervision. Macro-prudential supervision tools should be used to carry out counter-cyclical adjustments when systemic risks reach or exceed the warning value mean, which is of great significance to ensure the stable development of the securities market.
摘要:Scientific and technological innovation is of great significance for the upgrading and optimization of industrial structure. The panel data of prefecture-level cities in Shandong Province from 2003-2018 are selected to analyze the role of S&T innovation of enterprises in Shandong Province on the upgrading of industrial structure using dynamic differential GMM estimation method. Results of the analysis show that improving enterprise S&T innovation capacity helps to upgrade the industrial structure of Shandong Province; the government's S&T support has a certain inhibitory effect on the rationalization of industrial structure, but will significantly enhance the height of industrial structure. Improving enterprise S&T innovation capacity, improving the industrial and geographical structure of the government's S&T expenditure, and strengthening the in-depth communication and integration of industry, academia and research can effectively promote the further optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure.
摘要:In the context of new and old kinetic energy transformation, reasonable distribution and resettlement of redundant workers is the primary issue enterprises cutting overcapacity have to face. Unlike laid-off workers in the 1990s, redundant workers to be distributed and resettled have higher standards for the quality of their future work, paying more attention to the degree of satisfaction and sense of achievement. The study finds that degree of work matching is comparatively high, degree of satisfaction is comparatively low, degree of satisfaction for different directions of distribution is obviously different, and degree of satisfaction and degree of work matching is disproportionate. The high degree of work matching is because the government, the enterprises and the society have provided enough choices, the low degree of satisfaction is due to the large gap between the expectation and reality before and after the distribution and resettlement and the lack of sufficient objective understanding of practical difficulties. Actually, the root causes of low degree of satisfaction are the lack of career planning and inadequate handling of psychological pressure and protection of rights and interests. In order to optimize employee distribution and resettlement and improve their degree of satisfaction and sense of achievement, we need to use scientific methods to provide professional guidance for the career planning of involved employees so as to make scientific career decisions, give psychological counseling scientifically and effectively, pay attention to humanistic care and relieve psychological pressure, give full play to the advantages of new kinetic Energy and new business form and promote new employment. Finally, the trade union should participate in the whole process of distribution and resettlement to safeguard workers’ rights and interests.
摘要:Female teachers at child-bearing age in universities are facing challenges of multiple fertility in the context of the full-scale two-child policy. It is of great significance to construct a good psychological contract for them. Through factor analysis, psychological contracts between female teachers and their employers are divided into transaction type, development type and work-family balance type. Then, by calculating the difference between female teachers' expectation and their actual perception of universities’ responsibility fulfilment, their degree of satisfaction can be revealed, that the female teachers’ expectation-perception difference is highly related to their organizational commitment to the school, taking form in a linear regression relationship. However, different levels of expectation and perception can lead to different levels of organizational commitment. Thus, K-Clustering analysis depicts in detail how organizational commitment level changes among the teachers. Finally, some suggestions are put forward to maintain a benign psychological contract between universities and their female teachers at child-bearing age.
