Pygmalion complex in the age of AI:Risk and response of sex robotsAbstract:The emergence of sex robots has aroused widespread concern among people.Considering robots as companions seems to be a"Pygmalion"complex in the era of artificial intelligence,which satisfies the emotional needs of some groups to a certain extent,and is undoubtedly a great progress in the history of science and technology.However,it is followed by the risk challenges brought by the sex robot at the individual level,the family level and the social level.Whether the sex robot can overcome various practical problems and potential risks,and how to minimize its risks,is obviously a difficult problem of the age worth thinking about.Based on the historical background of sex robot as a fusion product of scientific and technological progress and emotional needs,after deeply examining the risks at the above three levels,the realistic path to deal with the risks of sex robot is sought from the three dimensions of regulation guidance,technology empowerment and education initiatives.Guided by the principle of"tech for good",we aim to build a new era of human-machine harmony and jointly create a new blueprint for a smart future.
The introduction of lead-based lithography and its impact on GuangzhouAbstract:From the nineteenth century to the early twentieth century,the introduction and localization of lithographic printing in Guangzhou reveal the profound impact of modern printing technology on local culture and society.As a frontline port for Sino-western cultural exchange,Guangzhou adopted lithographic techniques relatively early,enabling this modern printing method to evolve from an initial tool of religious dissemination into a crucial medium driving the reform of the publishing industry,the spread of ideas,and social change.Lithographic printing not only transformed the modes of knowledge production and information circulation in Guangzhou,but also became deeply involved in educational enlightenment,the construction of public opinion,and the formation of regional cultural identity.It thus emerged as a vital force propelling Guangzhou's transformation from a traditional commercial city into a modern cultural center.By comparing the developmental trajectories of the printing industries in Guangzhou and Shanghai,this study offers a concrete perspective for understanding the multiple pathways of local modernization in modern China.
The evolution and sublimation of patriotic spirit in Lu You's ocean poetryAbstract:Lu You,a patriotic poet in the Song dynasty,was born on the coast and had deep feelings for the ocean.The study of Lu You's literature has always focused on exploring the connection between his Confucianism and patriotic works,and the results are the most fruitful,while there are few researchers who combine the ocean with his patriotic thoughts.This paper takes Lu You's ocean poetry as the research object,and uses the combination of text analysis and historical textual research to explore the unique correlation mechanism between his ocean writing and patriotism.The study found that Lu You not only changed the traditional purpose of seeking immortality from personal longevity to national shame and witnessing revival,but also endowed the writing of marine wonderland with a strong character of"entering the world."He also reconstructed the"secularization"of marine wonderland,broke the barriers of immortality,and made it a unique space for realistic care and patriotic ideals.At the same time,he creatively symbolized the ocean and its behemoths,and expressed his firm determination and indomitable will to fight against foreign aggression and eliminate traitors by writing about the"conquest"of the ocean.These unique marine writings jointly serve its unswerving patriotic theme,show the depth and resilience of its patriotic spirit,and provide an important case for understanding the feelings of the Song dynasty literati.
The modernity criticism in CapitalAbstract:Capital stands as the most comprehensive and profound synthesis of Marx's critique of modernity.In this seminal work,Marx not only reveals that the essence of modernity lies in capitalist modernity with"capital"at its core,but also delivers a dual critique—both theoretically and practically—of the ideological framework and economic logic governing capitalist modernity.He further explores the path to reconstructing modernity through sublation:socialism modernity.This involves dialectically negating capitalist modernity to build socialist modernity,transcending capitalist systems to achieve free and comprehensive human development,and replacing capital-based production modes to rebuild modernity.Thus,Marx's critique of modernity not only provides theoretical tools for deconstructing capitalist modernity but also offers profound enlightenment for the exploration of Chinese modernization path.
Deconstruction and reorganization of national style elements:innovative path of modern book binding designAbstract:In the context of globalization and deep mutual learning among diverse cultures,cultural inheritance and innovation have become strategic propositions to safeguard the roots of civilization and demonstrate cultural subjectivity.As the core medium for the inheritance of civilization,books have surpassed the physical boundaries of material carriers in their binding design,and have been elevated to a three-dimensional narrative system of cultural genes.Contemporary design practice focuses on the modern translation of eastern aesthetic genes,constructing a dual paradigm of traditional symbol translation and spatial form reconstruction by decoding the symbolic semantics of traditional patterns and the spatial logic of layout architecture.In the creative transformation of traditional genes,designers use parametric design thinking to reconstruct visual order and form a modular method system for cultural translation.It has proven that this innovative path fully preserves the active code of cultural genes.Through creative bridging of temporal and spatial dimensions,it provides a methodological model for traditional reconstruction in the field of book design,and promotes the paradigm transition of design language from cultural consciousness to diverse coexistence.
On the issue of campus sexual bullying from the perspective of rights and interests protection and its mitigationAbstract:Through questionnaire surveys and in-depth interviews in multiple regions such as Hunan and Beijing,it finds that there is a fragmented state of awareness of sexual bullying among students,parents,and teachers.This reflects three-dimensional structural obstacles in the existing prevention and control system for campus sexual bullying,including the absence of the main responsibility of family and school sex education,the insufficient construction of the prevention and control norms system for campus sexual bullying,and the vacuum in the post-trauma relief mechanism for the bullied.The most effective approach should be to establish a student bullying governance committee with the collaboration of families,schools,and communities,promote the special legislation for the prevention and control of campus sexual bullying,and create a"dual-track"model of judicial relief.Through institutional innovation and multi-party linkage,the prevention and control of campus sexual bullying can be transformed from passive control to active empowerment.
The normative interpretation and decriminalization path of collusion bidding quotation behaviorAbstract:Collusive bidding quotation behavior is the implementation behavior of bidders who constitute the crime of collusion in bidding.Through the methods of literal interpretation,historical interpretation and systematic interpretation,advocates that collusion in bidding quotations includes substantive matters that may affect the result of winning the bid,which neither conforms to the interpretation rules of the economic crime catch-all clause,nor violates the concept of relative independence of criminal violations.The interpretation of criminal law should be to explore the values of law-making and the purpose it is intended to achieve,that is,the focus is on establishing the legal interests protected by criminal law to explore the correct meaning of the law and its boundaries.The core legal interest of the crime of collusion in bidding is the quality of the project,followed by the order of fair competition.According to the structural logic and substantive connotation of core legal interests,collusion qualification requirements,service conditions and technical parameters,the act of uploading the same network address of the bidding document and the act of collusion between the bidders but not winning the bid have no substantive infringement of legal interests,and should be decriminalized.
Goodman's philosophical reshapingAbstract:Goodman advocated that symbols construct the world,and art,science,philosophy are the multiple ways of constructing the world.He employed his general theory of symbols to reshape traditional epistemology into an"epistemology of understanding",and transformed traditional ontology into an"irrealism"of multiple symbolically constructed worlds.Goodman's reconception of philosophy represents a natural theoretical tendency of analytic philosophy in the"linguistic turn"trend.There is a view that Goodman's"irrealism"cannot support his claim of constructing the world.This stems from a misunderstanding of Goodman's theory of symbols.Saussure's semiotic can provide a defense for Goodman's idea of symbolically constructing the world.The rejection of the labeling way of classifying things is a consensus in the semiotic thoughts of both Saussure and Goodman.In Goodman's view,the world is the product of relations and the result of the distinction and classification by the symbol system.The world is constantly reconstructed in the self-renewal of the symbol system.
A study of Foshan brass-chisel paper-cutting from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of ChinaAbstract:Foshan brass-chisel paper-cutting is a distinctive form of folk arts and crafts.The period from the Qing dynasty to the Republic of China marked its peak of development.During this time,brass-chisel paper-cuts displayed rich typologies;in craftsmanship,they excelled in the techniques of"chiseling"and"writing/inscribing";in artistic expression,they pursued visually full compositions,vivid,and saturated colors;and they were widely used in the packaging of commodities such as firecrackers and tea.Numerous workshops producing brass-chisel paper-cuts operated in the Foshan area,and their products not only met local market demand but were also exported to Macau and overseas,forming an industry of considerable scale.
Synthesizing''Wen''(civilizational culture)and''Jiao''(civilizing influence):Kang Youwei's new exploration of Confucian universalismAbstract:Kang Youwei renewed his exploration of Confucian universalism to address the crisis of Confucianism provoked by western challenges.An examination of his reinterpretative approaches to Confucian universalist discourse reveals that"Wen"(civilizational culture)and"Jiao"(civilizing influence)served as his dual pillars.Kang Youwei reinterpreted the concept through a global civilizational lens.By identifying Confucius as the"king of civilizational culture",he negated western hierarchical theories of civilization.Employing the notion of"teaching"within the Six Classics to demonstrate that the civilizing project originated in China,he bifurcated"Jiao"into"human-centered civilizing tradition"and"theocentric religious doctrines",arguing that Confucianism's humanistic emphasis on ethical cultivation granted it both universal applicability and moral superiority over other global traditions.By casting Confucius as both the"king of civilizational culture"and the"sage of moral edification",Kang positioned him as a transcendent figure who surpassed national boundaries within modern civilizational frameworks.Kang's choice of"Wen"and"Jiao"as foundational concepts stemmed from their intrinsic interconnectedness:"Wen"manifested the essence of"Jiao",while"Jiao"determined the trajectory of"Wen".He further integrated these two dimensions with social evolution theory,depicted a vision of"Grand Unity"(Datong)which characterized by"the consummation of civilizational refinement and ethical cultivation".
The fundamental issues of benevolence-based theory in corporate ConfucianismAbstract:The fundamental issues in the benevolence-centric theory of corporate confucianism concern the definition,components,levels,and status of Ren(benevolence).According to relevant discussions in pre-Qin Confucian texts,Ren is love,means the Way.It is the intrinsic nature defining human beings,and it constitutes both the ontological reality and the value foundation of humanity.As an ontological essence,Ren comprises components such as:compassion(ci),filial piety(xiao),fraternal respect(ti/di),friendship(you),loyalty(zhong),generosity(hui),reverence(gong),respect(jing),sense of shame(xiu e zhi xin),sense of deference(ci rang zhi xin),and sense of right and wrong(shi fei zhi xin).Each represents one aspect of Ren,with distinct functions among them.Structurally,Ren manifests at four levels:individuality(selfhood),communality,universality,and transcendence.Within the core principles of corporate management,Ren(benevolence),Yi(righteousness),Li(propriety),Zhi(wisdom),and Xin(integrity)work together and form an organic whole,while Ren serves as the foundation for Yi,Li,Zhi,and Xin.
The friendship and literary expression in Zhang Jiuling's reciprocal poetryAbstract:Zhang Jiuling currently has 222 poems in his collection,of which approximately 97 works are for social and gift giving,accounting for about 44%.Overall,these poems reflect various types of friendships formed throughout Zhang Jiuling's official career.They reveal his psychological state as a low-ranking official,his conflicting choices between pursuing office and retreating from it during times of hardship,and his connections with younger contemporaries like Meng Haoran.A closer examination of the friendships depicted in his exchange poems reveals not only implicit political aspirations shared between Zhang and his friends but also his image as a modest and upright gentleman.Furthermore,his clear,straightforward poetic style played a guiding role in shaping the poetic landscape of the prosperous Tang dynasty.
The enabling role and mechanism of embodied cognition in interdisciplinary learning practiceAbstract:The embodied cognition theory posits that there is a close relationship between the body and cognition.Human knowledge acquisition and thinking formation do not solely rely on internal processes within the brain but also involve the body's participation and interaction with the environment.Interdisciplinary learning practices integrate knowledge from multiple disciplines to solve real-world problems,with the core being to enable learners to deepen cognitive outcomes through interactive conversations and action perception.This research took the course"STEM Education Theory and Practice"as a vehicle and carried out three rounds of interdisciplinary project practices for three consecutive years.Methods such as correlation analysis,hierarchical regression analysis,and mediation models were used to explore the relationships among interactive conversations,action perception,and cognitive outcomes.The research findings are as follows:(1)Interactive conversations promote the collaboration of multidisciplinary knowledge through high-order cognitive behaviors,such as continuous exploration and improved explanations,directly driving cognitive integration.(2)Action perception in product creation,as the core carrier of embodied cognition,plays a complete mediating role between interactive conversations and cognitive outcomes.(3)In interdisciplinary practices,the design of embodied cognition needs to strengthen multimodal interactions and the embedding of physical tasks to enhance the ability of concept transfer.
The Wu Rongguang family of the Qing Dynasty and their influence in FoshanAbstract:The ancestral home of the Wu Rongguang family is Yanling,Jiangsu,and they migrated south to Guangdong during the Song Dynasty.In the eighth year of the Chongzhen reign of the Ming Dynasty(1636),Wu Hualong led his tribe to migrate to Foshan and became the first ancestor of the Wu family in Foshan.The family quickly integrated into local society,amassed substantial wealth,and established the"Dashu Hall"as their ancestral compound,which later developed into Foshan's most representative wealthy garden estate during the Qing Dynasty.The family reached its zenith during the eighth generation with Wu Rongguang(1773-1843).Wu Rongguang entered the government as a Jinshi(metropolitan graduate)and held important positions in multiple provinces,achieving remarkable political achievements.In terms of academia,he has a keen interest in the study of gold,stone,calligraphy and painting,and his works include"Wu Rongguang's Autobiographical Chronicles","Summer Records of the Xinchou Year",and"Records of Gold and Stone Inscriptions in the Yunqing Pavilion",earning him the title of a great scholar in Lingnan.His great-grandson Wu Jianren achieved fame as a master of late-Qing exposure literature through his masterpiece"The Strange Events of the Last Twenty Years",demonstrating the family's profound cultural legacy.Centered around the Dashu hall,the Wu family developed an impressive complex of garden architecture in Foshan's Guanyintang neighborhood,whose design principles significantly influenced the development of Lingnan garden art.Under Wu Rongguang's leadership,the family actively participated in Foshan's public affairs-including water conservancy projects,the expansion of Tianxin academy,and local security maintenance-thereby both expanding the family's influence and making substantial contributions to regional development.
Promoting the construction of a healthy China with the spirit of historical initiativeAbstract:The spirit of historical initiative represents a unique spiritual quality that inspires the Communist Party of China to forging ahead with enterprise and fortitude.The process of advancing healthy China embodies invaluable historical initiative spirit.Firstly,to anchor the realistic orientation of social transformation,we promptly enact laws and regulations to make a strategic deployment for healthy China,thereby addressing pressing issues in the realm of public health.Secondly,to adhere to the laws of people's health development,we deepen the reform of the medical and health care system and advance the construction of the public health system,forging a practical approach to promote high-quality development in the cause of people's health.Finally,to advance historical progress proactively,we not only build healthy China domestically to underpin Chinese modernization and establish a solid foundation of public health for realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,but also maintain a global vision to champion the building of the global community of health for all,thus demonstrating the commitment as a responsible major power through concrete actions.
Deleuze's theory of multiplicities and the paradigmatic rupture of OedipusAbstract:Freud's classic"wolf man"case serves as the critical entry point through which Deleuze challenges the logic of identity in psychoanalysis and develops his own theory of multiplicities.Freud reduces the wolf man's dream to the Oedipus complex,collapsing the pack of wolves into a singular,unified structure.In contrast,Deleuze reinterprets these very symbols,revealing that the unconscious and the wolf pack are multiplicities composed of forces and intensities,which inhabit the body without organs.By introducing the concept of the rhizome,Deleuze demonstrates how his theory of multiplicities reconfigures the traditional philosophical opposition between the One and the Many,rejecting the psychoanalytic arborescent model of thought rooted in hierarchical binary structures.Consequently,the problem of the One and the Many is transformed into a question of becoming,and through the excavation of desire's generative potential,desire escapes the repressive logic shared by both the Oedipus complex and capitalism.
A study on the Fachuan and Chafu dredging system of the Yongding River during the Qianlong periodAbstract:During the Qianlong period of the Qing dynasty,Fachuan is the core tool of the dredging project of the downstream of the Yongding River.Their forms evolution and functional adaptation profoundly reflected the interactive tension between technical practice and institutional decision-making.Fachuan were initially designed as three types:the rowing boat,the earth trough boat,and the ox tongue boat.The three types of boats were gradually passed out due to their low dredging efficiency,which revealing the contradiction between design flaws and the characteristics of river and marsh sedimentation.The dredgers(Chafu)were mainly recruited from the villagers along the riverbank.They are responsible for scooping up the silt in the marsh.They worked on the boat for six months every year and received very low pay.To cope with the special hydrological environment of the Triangular Marsh of the Yongding River,which was"muddy and difficult to navigate",on the basis of inheriting the basic form of Fachuan,the new dredging boats improved the shape of the Fachuan by imitating the dredging boats of the Yellow River,widening the hull and increasing the mud-carrying capacity.However,the engineering cost simultaneously soared.The management system of the Fachuan and Chafu exhibited distinct characteristics of centralization:it was under the jurisdiction of the magistrate of the Triangular Marsh of the Yongding River,with flood control officials specializing in supervising the rations of Chafu and the dispatch of boats,which formed a dual management model of"bureaucracy-technology".Due to the constraints of technology,economy and ecological environment,the management system of the Fachuan and Chafu was permanently eliminated.The discontinuity of river management policies had resulted in negative effects on the livelihood of the people along the riverbank.
On Zhan Ganquan's"Way of diet"Abstract:Mr.Zhan Ganquan developed extensive discourse on dietary matters,proposing the concept of"the way of diet".Ganquan's dietary theory encompasses both dietary philosophy and dietary culture.Zhan Ganquan's"way of diet"centers on the core elements of"satiation","flavor","freshness","timing"and"moderation",revealing the cultural connections between diet and people-centered governance,ritual propriety,funeral customs,filial ethics,the virtue of frugality,and charitable concepts.This elevated diet from mere physiological needs to social cultural practice,imbuing food with profound cultural significance.This philosophical system is deeply rooted in the cultural soil of Lingnan Guangfu culture,and its embedded philosophical wisdom laid an important theoretical foundation for the formation of the Guangfu cuisine system.
On the existence types of Chinese mythological resources in contemporary novel narrativesAbstract:As an important representative of China's fine traditional cultural resources,myths have been passed down from ancient times to the present,nourishing the spiritual world of the Chinese nation through creative transformation.In contemporary novel narratives,the creative transformation of mythological resources by writers is manifested in three aspects:the re-telling transformation of story resources,the integration transformation of archetype resources,and the re-creation transformation of thinking resources.These transformations have expanded the channels for mythological resources to enter contemporary novel narratives,and have also promoted the innovative development of mythological resources in modern society in terms of content,form,and meaning.The life of myths has always been vigorous and evergreen;in fact,they have never truly left humanity.The borrowing of mythological resources by contemporary novels provides a narratological solution for the return of myths to modern society,and the mythological experience that readers obtain as a result will undoubtedly be more vivid and lively.
A study of the manifestation of translator subjectivity in the English translation of Red SorghumAbstract:Translator subjectivity is a significant topic in translation studies,and the academic community has extensively explored interpretive approaches to translator subjectivity and its relationship with translation strategies.However,the manifestations of translator subjectivity at the textual level remain underexplored.Red Sorghum,one of the most renowned works of modern and contemporary Chinese literature in the Western world and one of Goldblatt's favorite pieces,exemplifies his distinctive translation style.Research reveals that translator subjectivity in the English translation of Red Sorghum is primarily manifested in three forms:1)the enhancement of poetic features and aesthetic effects in the translation,including the vivid portrayal of imagery and the interchange between similes and metaphors;2)adaptations influenced by target culture and ideology,such as rewriting,rearrangement of narrative sequences,deletions,and additional explanatory notes;and 3)mistranslations resulting from the overstepping of translator subjectivity boundaries.
