摘要:Endogenous motivation for labor is key to the realization of a better life. With a better life as the main social context, we must fully mobilize everyone’s endogenous motivation for labor and at the same time protect everyone’s enthusiasm for labor, so that all can be full of endogenous motivation for labor and jointly create a better life. At the same time, it is necessary to give everyone the opportunity to continuously develop their ability to work. Only through common development can people feel the beauty of life. In reality, there are often people who have the ability to work but lack the enthusiasm to work or are unwilling to improve their ability to work. This shows that the lack of endogenous motivation for labor is manifested in two situations: one is the lack of enthusiasm for participating in labor, and the other is the lack of motivation for self-development. Both kinds of lack of motivation will affect the effective progress for a better life. The causes are complicated. There is the influence of hedonism and other incorrect views about labor and many other factors. To solve this problem, the best option is to vigorously improve the beauty and joy of labor, protect the honest enthusiasm of workers for labor, and enhance everyone's desire for self-development of ability to work, so as to improve the endogenous motivation of workers to jointly create a better life. To do this there are many aspects to consider at the same time. It is necessary to thoroughly implement the universal law of "justification for labor" for the whole society so that labor is more considered as a part of humanity. It is also important to emphasize the relatively balanced development of productivity so that different sectors can enjoy similar comfort and liberation in labor. Moreover, social governance should be continuously improved to strengthen the maintenance of labor ethics, universal taxation for income of labor should be conducted, labor equality should be fully realized to promote class mobility, working conditions should be universally improved, freedom and autonomy for labor should be improved, and value for labor should be universally protected, so that every worker can be filled with the enthusiasm for labor and individuals and the whole society can sustainably create value from labor.
摘要:The concept of space contained in Chinese landscape painting is not only the direct embodiment of the space-time view upheld by Chinese traditional painting, but also the intuitive embodiment of the view on nature by Chinese philosophy in art. Landscape painting combines the nature as the creator with the creative mind, constructs a virtual environment through ink and wash, and makes the space rhythmic and musical. In order to achieve this, landscape painting uses the panoramic method, the “three-far” method and the poetization of space. However, since modern times, the value of traditional landscape painting has been challenged, and the techniques of manifesting space by traditional landscape painting have not been properly understood. Fu Baoshi inherited and innovated the tradition of landscape painting, but he took realism as the foundation of landscape painting, and used the modern perspective and proportion to explain traditional techniques, which also had many problems.
摘要:The Spirit as a critical category was established in the Six Dynasties and developed into the core concept of Chinese painting theory in later times. Its philosophical premise is the development of the Tao. The artistic expression of the Spirit in the painting theory of the Six Dynasties is often interpreted as the artist’s reconstruction of external objects. The establishment of this technique originates from a special artistic philosophy about the relationship between internal implication and external expression. In the painting theory of the Six Dynasties, the Tao uses ink as the medium, and demonstrates its wonderful characteristics through the magical process of making the Spirit become reality. The technique of conveying the Spirit is based on reflecting the invisibility of the Tao through static ink symbols, and reflecting the supreme image of the Tao through unlikeness. The thinking produced by the painter’s psychological processing is also the result of him being mediated by the Tao. As a result, ink symbols acquire the intrinsic vitality of “conveying the Spirit through the portrayal of reality” and “charm of vividness” because of the painter’s thinking, and thus turn into ideal reality containing the Tao.
摘要:Lu Xun’s artistic view was tied to the development of modern Chinese graphics, for which he insisted on trying artistic innovations and having close relation to society at both national and individual levels. During the 1920s, Lu Xun was acutely aware of the rapid social transformation and the urgent need for diversifying art forms that reveal social changes and conflicts. Thus, he seeks artistic fusion between the western woodcuts and the traditional Chinese graphics while emphasizing that art must reflect historical events and be in everyday subjects. His artistic views, accompanied by burgeoning societal awareness for modernity, was a central force for developing Chinese new woodcuts, which were especially badly needed in the Second World War, and remain so even for now.
摘要:Zao Ren Shu (The Art of Creating Humanity) is one of the first translations of western science fictions by Lu Xun. In 2012, Hong Kong Renditions translated Lu’s Zao Ren Shu, one of the pioneering Chinese science fiction masterpiece, for the Western readers. Renditions’ English renderings of Zao Ren Shu, which is the translation of a translation, is the product of deep translation: not only the language style of Lu’s Chinese translation has been successfully conveyed, but also the western readers’ overall understanding of Lu’s Zao Ren Shu has been facilitated by means of “translator’s note”, illustrations and translations of original comments of Zao Ren Shu. From the English original fiction to its Japanese and Chinese translation, and to English re-translation by Hong Kong Renditions, An Unscientific Story (Zao Ren Shu; The Art of Creating Humanity) has fulfilled the transmigration of translation in “world literature”.
摘要:An Unscientific Story is a short religious story published by the American female writer Louise Strong in the famous magazine Metropolis in 1903, which has started an extraordinary journey of East-West communication since then. In modern East Asia, excerpts of the novel were translated twice by the famous Meiji translator Hara Hoitsuan under the title of The Art of Creating Humanity and published in the same year. It was then translated by Lu Xun and Bao Tianxiao in 1906. The translation of it in modern East Asia reflects the social context and literary landscape of the overall westernization of Japan and the popularity of science fiction, as well as the beginning of the intellectual class's attention to national character and feminine issues in early modern China. At the end of the 20th century, it came back to life as it was included in the vampire novels Dracula’s Brood, which then extended the two dimensions of the translation themed Vampires and Love and the writing of female horror novels in Europe and the United States, thus entering the current literary field with a new appearance against its original intention, which is an epitome of how current consumerism influences literary development. The cross-cultural journey of An Unscientific Story between the East and the West typically demonstrates how literary works establish their own value and attributes in a variety of cultural forms.
摘要:Owen Nickerson Denny, an American, wrote China and Korea in the 1880s, when he served as a diplomatic adviser to the Korean government. He is the first person to interpret qualities of the suzerain-vassal relation between China and Korea from the perspective of international law, discriminate and analyze the differences between tributary state and vassal state from jurisprudence, indicate that Korea is Chinese tributary rather than vassal, emphasize that the tributary state is independent, promote the theories that China and Korea are separate, China and Korea are equal, and Korea is independent, expose and criticize that Qing government has no rights to interfere in the internal and diplomatic affairs of Korea, and affirm the legitimacy of the Korean pursuit of independence. Because his ideas were in line with the needs of Japan’s policy to invade Korea at that time, it was greatly sought after. And there appeared a relatively short period of “Denny’s fever” in Japan. With the outbreak of 1894-1895 Sino-Japanese War and Japan’s annexation of Korea, the study of Denny and China and Korea fell into a low ebb in Japan. Since the beginning of the 21st century, Denny and his China and Korea have once again become the research focus of the Japanese academia, and have achieved fruitful results. But there is room for further discussion in the research field and viewpoints on history.
摘要:In the second year of Zhenyou (1214), after fierce controversy, Emperor Xuanzong of Jin moved the capital to the Southern Capital (now Kaifeng, Henan). Then, the Jurchens went south, which was the fourth large-scale southward migration of the Jurchens after those led respectively by Emperor Taizong, Xizong and Hailing. The Jurchens who moved to the south were concentrated in different parts of Henan with the Southern Capital as the center, and parts of Jiangsu and Anhui today. The Jurchens’ southward migration was forced by the Mongols’ attacks. Although it strengthened the anti-Mongol forces in Henan and other places, it destroyed the military deployment in the north, increased the burden on people in Henan and other places, caused serious social problems, and accelerated the demise of the Jin Dynasty to a certain extent.
摘要:Industrial structure upgrading is a key measure to deepen economic structure adjustment and promote the construction of ecological civilization. The implementation of the River Chief System poses a major threat to polluting enterprises, forcing enterprises to adjust their production structure, so as to force industrial structure transformation and upgrading. Taking the River Chief System as a quasi-natural experiment, based on the panel data of 108 prefecture level and above cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2004 to 2019, this paper uses the spatial difference in difference model (SDID) to empirically test the causal effect of the River Chief System on the upgrading of industrial structure. It is found that the strict environmental regulation brought by the River Chief System does not make the polluting enterprises “wait to die”, but stimulate the vitality of industrial innovation and adjust the production structure for “Nirvana and rebirth”, so as to promote the upgrading of the industrial structure of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and has a more significant effect on the upgrading of the industrial structure in developed areas and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. At the same time, the River Chief System will not only have a positive impact on the upgrading of industrial structure in the region, but also promote the upgrading of industrial structure in surrounding areas, and its policy effect will have more positive spillovers to regions with relatively short geographical distance. In addition, the upgrading of industrial structure shows a significant positive spatial correlation in the Yangtze River Economic Belt. The upgrading of industrial structure in this region will have a significant positive impact on the upgrading of industrial structure in surrounding areas.
摘要:The third distribution is a key theoretical and practical agenda in the process of moving towards common prosperity. The important practical value of the third distribution is that it can make up, to some degree, for the “unreasonable” gap in income distribution and the “insufficient” satisfaction of spiritual needs caused by the “failure” of market and government regulation and control. From the perspective of the current development foundation, the assumption of “voluntary altruism”, the increasingly strong economic strength, the initially established institutional system and the rich and splendid traditional culture have laid the human, material, institutional and cultural foundation for implementing the third distribution in the new era. In order to give full play to the important role of the third distribution in promoting common prosperity, the practical approaches to improve the realization mechanism of the third distribution in the new development stage include activating the vitality of multi-party participation, improving the efficiency of organization and management, and reshaping the social credit system.
摘要:In the post-pandemic era, the economic recovery of various countries has diverged, and the dislocation of domestic and foreign monetary policy cycles has intensified. Emerging economies with fragile financial systems have to face the risks and uncertainties brought about by the rapid increase in the scale and volatility of cross-border capital flows. This research constructs internal and external liquidity index and employs ARIMA model to measure the volatility of cross-border capital inflows and outflows in major emerging economies from the first quarter of 2005 to the third quarter of 2021. The MS-VAR model is constructed to analyze the risk transmission chain of liquidity originating from external developed economies and emerging economies and its superimposed impact on financial cycle differences and then on cross-border capital flow volatility. A number of findings emerge. First, internal and external financial cycle differences can be used as an intermediate channel for internal and external liquidity shocks to affect the volatility of cross-border capital flows. Second, the difference in stock index and credit ratio changes has significant and asymmetric effects on the volatility of cross-border capital inflow and outflow. Third, in different periods of liquidity volatility, the impact of differences in internal and external financial cycles on the volatility of cross-border capital flows is heterogeneous. The research results provide important inspiration for emerging economies to take into account the common impact of internal and external liquidity in capital flow management, strengthen counter-cyclical and cross-cyclical regulation, and avoid systemic financial risks caused by excessive capital flow volatility.
摘要:Identifying and measuring the inequality of educational opportunity is the basic foundation for realizing education equity for the disabled. This article takes 17,165 samples from the Basic Survey of Disabled Persons in J Province, carried out regression analysis by education stage and birth period, and calculated the D-index of inequality of educational opportunities for the disabled. It is found that urban and rural differences, gender, types and grades of disability are important factors affecting the access to educational opportunities. The disabled living in rural areas, having severe disability or with intellectual, multiple or speech disabilities get relatively fewer educational opportunities. Of course, the degree of influence varies in different birth periods and education stages. Therefore, it is necessary to practice the concept that the disabled are equal members of the human family, strive to narrow differences in educational arrangement between regions and between urban and rural areas, and innovate the forms of education for the disabled to improve the equality of educational opportunities, so as to ensure the provision of suitable rather than homogeneous education for the disabled and promote the true realization of equality of educational opportunities.
摘要:This paper compares two typical communities with the research method of participant observation and from the life-course perspective. It is found that in city-center communities, the elderly who actively participate in community activities are mainly women while in village-transformed communities such elderly are mainly men. And community activities of the same nature and type have different single-sex participation in different communities. At the same time, it is found that it is a relatively fixed group of elderly who always actively participate. This paper examines the purposes and methods of elderly’s participation in community activities and their interaction with community workers in community space and describes specific gender differences in urban elderly’s community participation. It believes that the differences are the result of the gender strategies and actions of the community, community workers and the elderly. Gender strategy is the path with the least resistance for the elderly, the community and community workers to construct, build and walk together, which may solidify gender differences and intensify inequality in resources and opportunities arising therefrom.
摘要:With the increasing trend of aging in China, social problems such as labor shortage and the escalating burden of providing for the aged have become increasingly prominent. How to improve the quality of life of the elderly and revitalize their human resources through elderly education is an important way to alleviate the above problems. This paper combs and analyzes the development process, educational mode, causes and management system of elderly education in the United States, Germany and Japan, which are relatively mature and representative in the development of elderly education abroad. On this basis, this paper points out the existing problems in China from the two aspects of education model and management system, and puts forward corresponding reference strategies. It is hoped that it can provide theoretical support and decision-making reference for improving China’s elderly education.
摘要:The reform of private education in China has entered the deep-water zone and faces great challenges. Classified management is the key to breaking the bottleneck. What kind of value orientation to adhere to is the chief issue for the classification management of private education. Private education in nature is public benefiting, which is also clearly positioned in China’s education legislation. The classification management of private education should adhere to its public benefit orientation, and provide the same protection and supervision for both for-profit and non-profit private schools. But the basic legal principle of equal rights and obligations determines that different support measures would be taken for the two. The development of China’s private education is insufficient, unbalanced and irregular, and there is a serious tendency of weakening public benefit. The legal construction for private education should strengthen its public benefit orientation, optimize its classification registration system, refine its classification management system, and promote its healthy development through system innovation.
