The Solitary Life of Intellectuals During the Fall of Hong Kong
type: item
description: On September 15, 1931, Chan Kwan-po, after a decade of overseas Chinese education in Southeast Asia, returned to China, aiming to revitalize Chinese education. Just three days later, the September 18th Incident erupted. As the situation at home and abroad worsened, his educational inspection plan in northern China was terminated, and he returned to Hong Kong, starting his journey of "national salvation". In 1937, following the outbreak of the full - scale War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression on July 7, Chen shifted his efforts from "national salvation" to "resisting the war". But the fall of Hong Kong on December 25, 1941, changed everything. The Japanese occupation dampened his patriotic enthusiasm, turning him into a solitary literatus in a war - torn Hong Kong. This paper uses Chan Kwan-po's diary as the core source, complemented by other relevant historical materials. It focuses on exploring how the lives of Hong Kong literati changed from the early days of the War of Resistance to the occupation period. By analyzing these changes, it exposes the lonely and miserable lives of Hong Kong literati, which were the result of "home - coming policy" by Japan, a tool used by the invaders to manipulate and suppress the local population.

A Textual Correction in the Revised Edition of the "Cefu Yuangui: Section on Military Commanders"
type: item
description: According to the Ming Dynasty block-printed edition of Cefu Yuangui, section “Generals and Commanders: Presenting Victory (Part 2)”: “In the second year, second month, Fuzhou Defense Commissioner Zhe Congruan memorialized: ‘Having led troops to besiege and attack the Khitan’s Shengzhou, the city surrendered. Forces are now advancing toward Shuozhou.’” This entry is placed after the item for the eighth month of the first year of the Later Tang Changxing era (930), yet no specific year is clearly indicated. The 2006 revised edition of Cefu Yuangui published by Phoenix Press also does not provide a textual note to clarify this point. 明刻本《册府元龟•将帅部》“献捷二”条载：“二年二月，符州防御使折从阮奏：“部领兵士攻围契丹胜州，降之。见进兵趋朔州。”此事系于后唐长兴元年（930）八月条后，但未明确注明具体年份，凤凰出版社2006年版《册府元龟》校订本亦未出校勘记予以说明。

Re-examining the "Three Passes" and the "Guannan Area" in the Liao-Song Confrontational Framework
type: item
description: The "Three Passes" and the "Guannan Area" were not only unique historical and geographical concepts within the Liao-Song confrontation pattern but also epitomized the geopolitical rivalry, the construction of military defense systems, and the models of border governance between the two regimes. Their evolutionary trajectory reflects the complex and dynamic interactions between the Central Plains agrarian regime and the northern nomadic power from the 10th to the 12th centuries. The contention over the "Three Passes" and the "Guannan Area" essentially represented a manifestation of the acute conflict between the southward expansion strategy of the Khitan regime and the northward unification objective of the Central Plains regime. Given the fundamental opposition and intense conflict inherent in their strategic goals, such contradictions could hardly be thoroughly resolved through political negotiations. This structural North-South conflict not only shaped the political landscape of the confrontation between Northern and Southern China during the 10th–12th centuries but also profoundly influenced the geopolitical-military strategies and the patterns of economic and cultural exchanges between the two sides.

A Study on the Communication Strategy of Xinwen Lianbo on Rural Revitalization
type: item
description: This study analyzes the communication strategy of Xinwen Lianbo on rural revitalization from the perspective of agenda-setting theory. Through content analysis of 427 reports (January 2023 to June 2024), it identifies a structural imbalance in agenda setting—overemphasis on industry and ecology, neglect of culture and organization—coupled with a lack of farmer subjectivity and critical depth. Optimization strategies are proposed to enhance communication effectiveness by diversifying, innovating narratives, and strengthening interaction. This work is a phased achievement of the Tianjin Normal University Graduate Research Innovation Project "Research on the Communication Strategies of 'Xinwen Lianbo' in Reporting Rural Revitalization (2021–2025)", Project Number: 2025KYCX067Y. 本文基于议程设置理论，分析《新闻联播》乡村振兴报道的传播策略。通过对2023年1月至2024年6月427篇报道的内容分析，发现其议题设置存在“重产业生态、轻文化组织”的失衡现象，农民主体性缺失，批判性不足。研究从议题多元性、叙事创新性与传播互动性三方面提出优化策略。 本文系天津师范大学研究生科研创新项目《新闻联播》对乡村振兴报道的传播策略研究（2021-2025）的阶段性成果，项目编号：2025KYCX067Y。

An Exploration of Ma Zhu's Elucidation of Confucian Thought through The Guide to Islam (Qing Zhen Zhi Nan)
type: item
description: Based on the text of The Guide to Islam (Qing Zhen Zhi Nan) and incorporating previous relevant research, this paper examines the intellectual background shaping Ma Zhu's thought prior to his authorship of The Guide and investigates the specific elucidations of Confucian ideas within the text. The study argues that Ma Zhu innovatively reinterpreted the Confucian description of ontological origins, expounding upon the concepts of "Heaven" (Tian) and the "Sage" (Shengren) and their interrelationship. This reflects the idea of "complementarity and mutual intelligibility between Islamic and Confucian thought" , which still holds inspiration and referential significance for civilizational exchange and mutual learning today. 本文以《清真指南》的文本为基础，结合前人相关研究成果，对马注著《清真指南》前的思想的生成背景、《清真指南》中对儒家思想的具体阐发进行研究，认为马注创新了儒家对本源问题的描述，将儒家“天”“圣人”等概念的表述和关系做了阐发，体现了“伊儒互补互通”的思想，对当今的文明交流互鉴仍有启示和借鉴意义。

Symbolic Construction and Emotional Encoding in the Musical Language of "Forever Ultraman"
type: item
description: As a Chinese commemorative pop song, "Forever Ultraman" carries the symbolic imagery of heroes and the intergenerational memory within the Tokusatsu cultural tradition. Drawing on methods of modern music analysis, this article systematically explores the symbolic construction mechanisms of the piece through lyrical semantics, melodic structure, rhythmic organization, and emotional expression. It reveals how the work encodes collective sentiment and heroic narratives through musical elements, establishing a representative "cultural memory ballad" structure. The study offers insights into both popular culture research and the narrative strategies of music.

Shen Defu’s Multifaceted Views on Palace Women
type: item
description: Shen Defu constructed a systematic framework for understanding court women through his extensive knowledge, meticulous observations, and profound reflections. This intellectual system encompasses political, ethical, scholarly, and existential dimensions: it not only analyzes the complex relationship between court women and political power at a macro level but also scrutinizes their individual destinies and existential predicaments within political turbulence at a micro level. The formation of Shen Defu’s perspectives on palace women was shaped by the subconscious influence of Confucian ideology, the direct impact of imperial institutions and policies as political-cultural forces, and the integration of distinctive elements from Jiangnan regional culture and the cultural ethos of the Shen clan. Through a dynamic interplay and synthesis of these factors, Shen Defu ultimately developed a uniquely nuanced discourse on court women.

Building an Age-Friendly Tourism Environment: Reflections on China's Profound Population Aging
type: item
description: China is undergoing a rapid and profound process of population aging, leading to a continuous increase in tourism demand from the elderly population. However, the current level of age-friendliness within the tourism environment falls far short of meeting their specific needs, presenting multiple obstacles such as inconvenient physical environments, misaligned service provisions, difficulties in information access, and insufficient socio-cultural inclusiveness. Set against the backdrop of China's advanced population aging, this study aims to systematically explore the contemporary urgency, core connotations, and key constituent elements of constructing an age-friendly tourism environment. Through an in-depth analysis of the practical dilemmas and deep-seated institutional and mechanistic issues confronting China in the development of such environments, this study, from the macro perspective of social policy, proposes a series of targeted, systematic, and actionable multi-level policy recommendations. These recommendations revolve around crucial dimensions including the enhancement of top-level strategic planning and regulatory standards, the systematic age-appropriate retrofitting of infrastructure, the professionalization and diversification of market supply, the development of inclusive and accessible information environments, the active cultivation of a positive socio-cultural atmosphere, and the strengthening of market regulation and long-term incentive mechanisms. These suggestions are intended to provide theoretical references and policy insights for China to effectively address the challenges of population aging, promote the deep integration and synergistic development of aging-related initiatives and the tourism industry, and comprehensively enhance the well-being of the elderly population. Furthermore, it is hoped that this work will offer valuable Chinese experiences for other countries globally that are facing similar demographic structural transitions.

Research on the Reform of Replacing Native Chieftains with Appointed Officials in Kham region at the End of the Qing Dynasty from the Perspective of the Chinese National Community
type: item
description: Kham region is located between Sichuan and Tibet, serving as a vital passage connecting the two regions. It is also an important multi-ethnic area where various ethnic groups interact, exchange and integrate. It has always been highly valued by the central government. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, in the face of foreign aggression and acute internal conflicts in Kham region, the Qing government established the policy of "replacing native chieftains with appointed officials" to govern Kham region. Among them, Zhao Erfeng's series of policies implemented in politics, economy and culture were the most effective. These measures, while promoting the economic and cultural development of Kham region, an integral part of Chinese civilization, jointly maintained the "unified" pattern of the Qing Dynasty and enhanced the national identity of the people in Kham region. Moreover, from the perspective of historical development, the implementation of the policy of "replacing native chieftains with appointed officials" in Kham region at the end of the Qing Dynasty also holds significant value in maintaining and promoting the continuous development of the Chinese nation community.

Urban Planning and Sustainable Development: A Systematic Literature Review and Future Directions
type: item
description: The rapid pace of global urbanization demands urgent scholarly attention to balance urban growth with ecological preservation, social equity, and economic resilience. This systematic review synthesizes contemporary research on sustainable urban development through five critical lenses: (1) small-city urbanization and subjective well-being metrics, (2) adaptive reuse of waterfront public spaces, (3) strategies for regenerating resource-depleted cities, (4) the role of cultural infrastructure in rural revitalization, and (5) the integration of ecological security patterns. By critically examining 32 peer-reviewed studies (2010–2024), this paper identifies three emerging paradigms in sustainability scholarship: the shift from growth-centric to well-being-oriented urban metrics, the spatial application of circular economy principles, and the rise of trans-scalar governance frameworks. The review concludes by proposing a research agenda emphasizing digital participatory planning, nature-based solutions, and metabolic urbanism approaches to address persistent gaps in translating theory into practice.

An Analysis of the Official Careers of Those Who Commenced Their Appointments from the "Mizhu" Positions During the Liu Song and Southern Qi Dynasties
type: item
description: Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, official positions were classified as "pure" (qing) or "turbid" (zhuo). The posts of Mishu Lang (Secretarial Court Gentleman) and Zhuzuo Lang (Editorial Court Gentleman), as the foremost qing positions, were highly contested among scions of elite clans as their inaugural appointments. Beginning one's career through these "Mizhu" (秘著, abbreviation for 秘书监 Mì shū jiān and 著作郎 Zhù zuò láng, prestigious scholarly positions in the imperial bureaucracy) roles not only signified the family's prestige and social standing but also foreshadowed a flourishing official trajectory. During the Liu Song and Southern Qi dynasties, a total of 38 individuals commenced their careers as Mishu Lang, Zhuzuo Lang, or Zhuzuo Zuolang (著作佐郎, Assistant Editorial Gentleman), all hailing from eminent southern clans such as the Langye Wang Family (琅琊王氏, Wang's Family from Langye) and Jiyang Jiang Family (济阳江氏, Jiang Family from Jiyang) , concentrated within 13 prominent aristocratic families of the Southern Dynasties. Scions of these noble houses typically began with Mizhu appointments, advanced through prestigious mid-level posts like Taizi Sheren (Crown Prince's Attendant), and accumulated experience through frequent rotations—often including provincial postings as grand administrators—before returning to the central court to assume key offices, ultimately ascending to the highest echelons of power. <div data-slate-node="element" data-slate-fragment="[binary]">Under the influence of the menfa (aristocratic clan) system, while top-tier lineage status provided considerable advantages for bureaucratic entry, individual talent and political ambition remained pivotal in shaping one's official career. 魏晋以来，官分清浊，秘书郎、著作郎作为首要清官，是甲族贵胄起家争夺之官。以秘著起家不仅彰显了家族的地位与门望，而且也预示了之后仕途的飞黄腾达。南朝宋齐时期以秘书郎、著作郎、著作佐郎起家者共38人，皆出自南朝的高门望族，如琅琊王氏、济阳江氏等，集中在南朝13个士族之中。贵族子弟以秘著起家，历经太子舍人等清要官职，经频繁的迁转、外出任太守以积累经验，再迁回中央任重要官职，最终官至显位。在门阀制度的影响下，第一流的门第虽然为士族子弟入仕提供了种种便利，但其个人才能与政治抱负仍对其仕途产生重要影响。

Underestimated Contributions: Contemporary Academic Understanding of the Relationship between Zhang Weihan and the Municipal Reform Movement in Modern China
type: item
description: Zhang Weihan not only proposed the idea of "municipal strengthening of the nation" but also presided over the municipal reform practice in Kunming, involving the improvement of urban grassroots organizations, the establishment of traffic police, the demolition of old city walls, the improvement of street transportation, the rectification of water and electricity facilities, physician training and food hygiene inspections, the organization of custom improvement associations, the promotion of compulsory education, the construction of modern parks, and many other aspects. These efforts not only vigorously promoted the development of Kunming, but also played a significant role in other Chinese cities such as Chongqing. However, when examining contemporary academic understanding of Zhang Weihan and the municipal reform movement in modern China, it is not difficult to find that research in this field still has many deficiencies. Most of the existing relevant works are limited to brief narratives of his local content during his time in Kunming, while his contributions to the municipal reform movement in modern China have been relatively underestimated by contemporary academia. Therefore, it is extremely necessary to break through the inadequacies of previous research and conduct a more systematic study on this issue. This research was supported by the Research Center for Modern and Contemporary Southwest Regional Politics and Society, a key research base for social sciences in Sichuan Province, China, under the project “Garden City: Zhang Weihan and the Modernization of Kunming Municipal Administration in the 1920s” (Project Approval Number: XNZZSH2314).

A Timely Quick Literature Review on the Deepseek in Chinese Publication
type: item
description: The swift rise of DeepSeek—the Chinese generative artificial intelligence (AI) model that champions open‐source innovation—has ignited scholarly interests across frontiers. This timely quick review article derives from the analysis of 21 recent studies regarding DeepSeek and associated subjects t from the end of 2024 to date. Altogether, the literature reveals that DeepSeek not only upends existing models of AI development and deployment, but it also changes the economics of generative AI through an emphasis on open‐source collaboration, energy efficiency and people‐centered innovation. We then elaborate on how DeepSeek’s new properties — namely, a high‐performance, low‐cost training routine, powerful local deployment capabilities, and a transformative manner of content generation — defy the “capital logic” and “technological hegemony” that currently reign in Western AI. The review also examines nascent discussions regarding the “automation paradox” and the sustainability of AI systems, as well as their cultural, economic and political implications. These global articles shed light on pressing areas of research — international collaboration in AI governance, ethical regulation of open‐source platforms, and the long‐term social impacts of generative AI on labor and digital equity. In summary, ultimately DeepSeek represents a new paradigm in how we consider sustainable, democratized digital civilization as a central pillar and marketspace in the overarching AI environment globally that is otherwise entirely proprietary and often wasteful in terms of energy investment.

Study on the Community Construction of Rural Basic Party Building Leading the Modernization of Rural Governance
type: item
description: Rural social governance is crucial for China's stability and development. As modernization advances, constructing effective rural governance systems has become urgent. Many regions are innovating grassroots governance, with party-building playing a key role. This paper examines Maozhushan Village's "Party-building Concentric Circles" model as a case study, analyzing its organizational construction, multi-party risks, and implementation. The study identifies effective practices for party-led rural governance and analyzes the interaction between party-building and rural governance. The research provides theoretical and practical insights for enhancing party-led rural governance. 在新时代发展的背景下，社会治理特别是农村社会治理问题，成为当今我国备受关注的焦点。农村社会治理的有效性直接影响到乡村社会的稳定和发展。随着现代化进程的不断深入，农村社会在追求可持续发展的同时，也面临着各种治理困境。因此，构建乡村治理共同体、提升乡村治理水平、实现有效乡村治理已成为现实而紧迫的课题。在应对各种治理困境的同时，中国各地以改革创新的精神，开展了新一轮的乡村基层治理探索。特别是以党为中心的基层党组织建设，是一个具有很强现实意义的重大课题。这些创新不仅为乡村治理提供了新的路径，也为其他地区提供了有益的借鉴。本文以社区建设为切入点，研究以农村基层党建为主导的乡村治理现代化，以广西桂林市泉州县彩湾镇毛竹山村为党建引领的乡村治理社区建设范例。从茅竹山村党建工作中的“同心圆党建”案例来看茅竹山村党组织建设现状、多方主体隐性风险的微观分析、党建同心圆的落实主动性等方面的分析，最后总结了茅竹山村农村基层党建引领乡村治理社区建设的有效情况练习路径。在此基础上，分析了“党建引领”与“乡村治理”的二元逻辑，分析了毛竹山村具有中国特色的“党建同心圆”治理模式。中国特色茅竹山村“党建同心圆”治理模式分析本文旨在通过这些分析，为深化农村基层党建引领乡村治理提供理论依据和实践指导。

A Review of Emperor Shizong of Jin Dynasty and the Dading Governance
type: item
description: The Dading Governance (大定之治) represents a pivotal era of sustained prosperity and political consolidation under Emperor Shizong of the Jin Dynasty (1161-1189). Current scholarship predominantly clusters around three analytical axes: (1) comprehensive examinations of the emperor's personal attributes and his historical milieu, (2) discrete investigations into pivotal events and sociopolitical phenomena during the Dading reign, and (3) critical evaluations of institutional reforms through governance paradigms, particularly their ideological underpinnings and societal ramifications. Through systematic historiographical analysis, this study elucidates the Dading Governance's dual significance as both a defining juncture in Jurchen statecraft evolution and a transformative phase in China's medieval political ecology. Furthermore, it underscores the need for cross-cultural comparisons with other Northern dynasties' administrative models, thereby enriching our understanding of non-Han regimes' governance strategies in premodern China.

A Review of Research on Frontier Management Issues during the Reign of Emperor Xingzong of the Liao Dynasty
type: item
description: The reign of Emperor Xingzong of the Liao Dynasty (Yelü Zongzhen, r. 1031–1055) is traditionally considered the turning point marking the empire's shift from prosperity to decline. His frontier governance demonstrated era-specific characteristics. While border policies emphasized conflict avoidance, impulsive military operations and provocations destabilized frontier regions, depleting substantial human, material, and financial resources. Academic consensus critiques Xingzong's frontier strategies as fundamentally imbalanced, with costs far exceeding benefits. Closer examination of his approaches and the complex challenges he confronted, however, reveals underlying principles and mechanisms reflecting surprisingly sophisticated reform-oriented thinking.

Analyzing Cultural Translation in China's Intercultural Communication through Kung Fu Panda
type: item
description: This study employs Kung Fu Panda as a case to dissect the tripartite mechanisms of cultural translation in intercultural communication: 1. Visual Layer: Integration of ink-wash aesthetics and 3D modeling to construct hyperreal Oriental imagery (e.g., topological transformations of the Jade Palace's dougong structures inspired by the Forbidden City). 2. Narrative Layer: Reframing Taoist philosophy through the Hollywood hero's journey, recoding "non-action" (wuwei) into a universal coming-of-age motif. 3. Value Layer: Modernizing cultural interpretations by grafting kung fu ethics onto individualism. The research proposes a "Physical-Behavioral-Spiritual" triadic dynamic model: 1. Physical: Using the panda as a cognitive anchor to reduce cultural discount. 2. Behavioral: Bridging values through codified kung fu choreography. 3. Spiritual: Achieving covert cultural permeation via philosophical metaphors. A communication formula** is formulated: (Universal Values × Cultural Symbols) ÷ Cognitive Costs, demonstrating how the film balances core symbol stability (panda/kung fu) with limited deformation of secondary symbols (architectural patterns). This equilibrium carves discursive space within the globalization-localization dialectic, offering China a "resilient framework" paradigm for cultural dissemination—preserving genetic cultural stability while enabling creative rebirth through media grammar.

Bridging Cultures through New Media The Role of the China-ASEAN Youth Broadcasters' Creative Camp Television Program in Fostering International Cooperation and Cultural Exchange
type: item
description: The China-ASEAN Youth Broadcasters' Creative Camp is a dynamic cross-cultural exchange initiative that leverages new media to foster collaboration between young broadcasters from China and ASEAN countries. Since its launch in 2021, the program has produced influential short video series, highlighting themes such as food culture, music, daily life interactions, and youth entrepreneurship. Through innovative content, the initiative has enhanced Guangxi’s international image, promoted cultural exchange, and facilitated regional cooperation. This paper employs a qualitative research method, analyzing the impact and effectiveness of the program through content analysis of the video series and participant interviews. Despite its successes, the program faces challenges, including limited representation of ASEAN cultures, insufficient technical resources, and a lack of professional mentorship for participants. To address these issues, strategic recommendations include expanding cultural coverage, increasing investment in production resources, and strengthening professional training. Furthermore, young broadcasters, equipped with linguistic advantages and creative skills, play a crucial role in international cultural exchange. With the continued advancement of digital media, they are well-positioned to drive cross-cultural communication and global understanding. Moving forward, the program should broaden its international collaborations and leverage technological innovations to ensure its long-term impact. By doing so, it can further empower young broadcasters, foster deeper intercultural engagement, and contribute to global cultural diversity.

Implications for the Construction of Music Teaching Materials in Chinese Primary and Secondary Schools under the View of Patriotism Education
type: item
description: As an important vehicle for the transmission of Chinese traditional culture and a major medium for the dissemination of national and ethnic value systems, textbooks form the correct core values of patriotism to young people. Since the education reform in the 1990s, Russia has been reshaping the essence of modern school patriotic education on the basis of the research on patriotic education in the Soviet Union, and has provided more possibilities for patriotic education in the reform and construction of primary and middle school music teaching materials. The Russian primary and middle music textbooks (grades 1-8) take the cultivation and development of students' patriotic feelings as their theme, and implement patriotic education through four dimensions: the beauty of nature, the sound of the nation, the love of life, and the inheritance of history, which provides an all-around reference for the construction of primary and middle music textbooks in China.

type: item
description: The rapid changes led by new quality productive forces are impacting today's society, bringing unprecedented challenges to the construction of an institutional opening-up system in Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone. The development of new quality productive forces and the institutional opening-up of the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone promote each other. Meanwhile, the institutional opening-up aimed at new quality productive forces faces numerous challenges in the planning and development of the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone, including institutional barriers, insufficient resource allocation, and an unstable international environment. Enhancing the industrial linkage between Hengqin and Macao, increasing Macao's elements in Hengqin, fully leveraging Macao's platform advantages, attracting high-quality industries, and cultivating professional talents suitable for the new quality industries are effective approaches to tackle these challenges.

Building the “Academic Journal of China Studies” as the Inner Strength to Uphold Open Thinking and Academic Inclusiveness
type: item
description: This article is a speech given by Prof. Wang Liang (1956-2022.11.12), Director of the Shanghai Institute of Circulation Economics, at an internal meeting in 2018, with modifications. In today’s era of globalization and information technology, the depth and breadth of academic research have become important indicators of a country’s cultural soft power and innovation capacity. China, as an increasingly important player on the world stage, faces unprecedented opportunities and challenges for development. How to maintain open thinking and academic inclusiveness in a complex and ever-changing international environment is a pressing issue we must address in this era. The construction of the “Academic Journal of China Studies” is a key measure to seize this historic opportunity and promote academic prosperity. It should also become the inner strength to uphold open thinking and academic inclusiveness.

Connecting and Blocking: Mountains in Tao Yuanming's Poems and Articles
type: item
description: Mountain is important geographical space in Tao Yuanming's literary works. Some mountains from Yuanming's reading memory and imagination connect some real scenes, and some mountains as real geographical space also connect Yuanming's Xing Yi road and home, or connect the countryside and home, to a certain extent, reflecting the poet's inner emotions. Some mountains have a barrier effect, which is the shelter of Yuanming when he looks at his hometown on the way to Xing Yi, and after Yuanming's retirement, the mountains also block the contact between Yuanming and the outside world to a certain extent, but it is also a barrier to stabilize the inner world. The mountains in the Tao Hua Yuan Ji connect the road into Taoyuan, but also isolate the outside world to a certain extent. Yuanming is like the fisherman in Tao Hua Yuan Ji, who can enter the Taoyuan world from the mountains, and Yuanming is like the man in the Taoyuan, who takes the mountains as the barrier and finally lives in the world close to the Taoyuan. The mountain is the spiritual territory in the life of Yuanming and has special meaning.

U.S. Semiconductor Policy Toward Taiwan During the Joe Biden Administration and the Path of Influence
type: item
description: The Biden administration has enacted a series of industrial policies related to sup-ply chain restructuring since it came to power, with high-tech industries and advanced technologies as the core of its policies. The U.S. promotes the re-shoring of the semiconductor supply chain and strengthens semiconductor industry cooperation with Taiwan through positive subsidy investment and reverse control constraints, which serves its own political and eco-nomic interests and the hegemonic logic of international competition under the pretext of strengthening the security and resilience of the global supply chain. The implementation path of the Biden administration's industrial policy toward Taiwan mainly includes the path of economic interests, the path of national (regional) security and the path of great power hegemony, which has a profound impact on the economic pattern, the political pattern and the power pattern of the Taiwan region. In general, the U.S. industrial policy toward Taiwan has caused the advantages of Taiwan's semiconductor industry to shrink, prompting chal-lenges to Taiwan's sustainable economic development; the U.S. has used Taiwan as an important strategic tool in the com-petition between the U.S. and China, pushing the ten-sion in the Taiwan Straits to become more and more intense; and the U.S.'s economic and political coercion and coercion of Taiwan has made Taiwan more dependent on the U.S. in the international power pattern and deprived it of more autonomy.

The Meanings of Faculty-student Interaction Outside the Classroom: A Phenomenological Study in the Chinese Con-textese context
type: item
description: Using a hermeneutic phenomenological approach, this study sought to understand the meanings of faculty-student interaction outside the classroom in the Chinese context by describing and interpreting students’ lived experiences. The study gathered data by interviewing 28 participants from a research university and asking them to write notes. The data were analyzed regarding the three existentials of lived time, lived space, and lived relationships to others. The findings revealed that compensation and creation are the meanings of faculty-student interaction outside the classroom for students. Furthermore, this study suggested that (1) emotional interaction is a significant type, (2) students are the drivers and constructors of their interactions with faculty, and (3) the meanings of faculty-student interaction are rooted in students’ previous educational experience and the cultural context in which they live. Overall, the study extended the understanding of faculty-student interaction outside the classroom. The limitations of this study and some implications for future studies are discussed.

"Passive Digital Nomadism" – A Study on Social Media Platform Migration and Chinese Language Acquisition Among Overseas Users
type: item
description: This study focuses on the implicit Chinese language acquisition that occurs among overseas users who—due to external policy factors—are passively driven from mainstream short-video platforms such as TikTok to REDNote, a platform primarily featuring Chinese-language content. Drawing upon multiple perspectives, including digital migration, implicit acquisition, sociocultural theory, and cross-cultural communication, this study reveals three main findings: first, the multimodal, highly cohesive community ecology of REDNote provides overseas users with a low-anxiety, authentic, and high-frequency environment for Chinese-language input; second, interactive features such as comments, live streaming, and private messaging prompt user output and peer feedback, thereby reinforcing internalization of language and cultural identity; third, the fragmented, lifestyle-oriented Chinese content unconsciously permeates rich cultural symbols, accelerating cross-cultural understanding. Based on these findings, this article suggests proactively incorporating authentic platform-based materials in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language, promoting task-based teaching strategies and cross-cultural practice, and advocating in-depth collaborations between educational institutions and social media platforms to stimulate more potential learners’ enthusiasm for the Chinese language. This research not only expands the theoretical agenda that integrates passive platform switching with implicit learning, but also provides operational insights for sustainable innovation in international Chinese education in the context of new media and globalization.

The Taoist Connotation of Guan Hexagram in Zhou Yi
type: item
description: Guan Hexagram is the twentieth of the sixty-four hexagrams in Zhou Yi. The hexagram describes the rituals of sacrificial activities, and the line describes the "watching" behavior in different states. "The wind spreads on the earth, and the ancient kings observe the people and set up teachings" is its original connotation. In the Taoist discourse system, the concept of Guan has been fully developed, and it has multiple meanings. Extending from the literal semantics of "watching", Guan runs through Taoist architecture, Taoist philosophical thoughts, and Taoist cultivation methods. In this sense, the word Guan can be regarded as one of the cores of the Taoist ideological system, which mediates and concretizes the relationship between man and God.
