    As an important document promulgated by of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom regime, the Land System of the Heavenly Kingdom has been receiving much attention from historians. However, due to the war, the document was not continued in China, and the original text of the document was eventually recovered from the British Museum and other places overseas and it saw the light of day, during which Cheng Yansheng and Xiao Yishan made important contributions. The historians of the Republic of China has been both positive and negative on the position of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and there are also writings that adopt a materialistic view of history. The Public ownership and "the land is for all to till" in the Land System of the Heavenly Kingdom were often given a "communism" or "socialism" tone, or linked to the traditional "commonwealth" ideal, which get a lot of positive assessments. Such questions as whether the system was implemented, how feasible it was, and what its status was in the various systems of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have been interpreted and evaluated in different ways by different people. The high level of attention paid to the Land System of the Heavenly Kingdom by historians during the Republic of China not only becomes a snapshot of the development of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Research at that time, but also sets the tone for the system's subsequent historiography writing.

    Based on the panel data of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region from 2005 to 2021, this paper uses the difference-in-differences model to test the effect, mechanism and heterogeneity of the implementation of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development strategy on the upgrading of industrial structure in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. The results show that the implementation of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development strategy has promoted the upgrading of the urban industrial structure in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region by improving the level of urban financing and human capital in the region, and the conclusion is still valid after the robustness tests such as changing the interpreted variables, changing the control group, changing the window width and missing variables. Expansive analysis find that the strategy of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development promotes the upgrading of industrial structure in Hebei and Tianjin, but has no obvious effect on the upgrading of industrial structure in Beijing. As for Hebei province, it promotes the upgrading of industrial structure in the middle and south of Hebei province, which is disadvantageous to the upgrading of industrial structure in the east of Hebei province. The implementation of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development strategy has promoted the overall upgrading and upgrading of industrial structure in the region. With the development of innovation and digital economy, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development strategy will play a more significant role in the upgrading of industrial structure.

    Algorithmic justice is the core value principle that guides and constrains humans in the practice of algorithmic application. Its justice environment is a highly complex algorithmic ecosystem that can produce normative effects. Justice requirements cover three dimensions: the legitimacy of the algorithmic decision-making process, the fairness of the results generated by the algorithmic decision, and the rationality of the attribution of algorithmic decision-making. The proposition of algorithmic justice is established mainly for three reasons: first, the basic logic of justice is gradually shifting from the "veil of ignorance" to "big dataism", giving rise to new problem domains such as personalized laws and the reshaping of power structures; second, the alienation of algorithmic power brought about by datafication and machine opacity provides a realistic reason for the emergence of algorithmic justice; third, algorithmic justice is based on the moral responsibility of regulating the relationship among people and between people and machines, and has a sufficient legitimacy basis. In the digital age, we should follow the unique value connotations of algorithmic justice and explore solutions to its implementation by promoting the rational allocation of data resources, balancing the diverse interests of algorithmic subjects, optimizing algorithmic accountability mechanisms, and building human-computer communication mechanisms.

    The new security pattern is a major deployment made by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on national security. At present, the construction of a new security pattern is facing new situations and tasks, and we should focus on building a socialist ideology with strong cohesion and leadership. To this end, we not only need to "defend it", but also "build it well" and "spread it widely". From the perspective of security, a profound understanding of ideological security is at the core and critical position, with the most abstract and hidden features, becoming a new direction and feature of the most difficult to control variables; from the perspective of construction, it is necessary to establish a strong ideological armed system, a sound institutional guarantee system, and a stable battlefield management system, in order to continuously enhance the cohesion and leadership of socialist ideology; from the perspective of propaganda, it is necessary to actively promote China's adherence to the value concept of "global security", promoting that "China's development itself is the greatest contribution to the world", and enriching socialist ideology by learning from and drawing on all excellent achievements of human civilization.

    To promote active and healthy aging in the digital era, this study investigates the effects and mechanisms of aging attitudes on the mental health of older adults using data from the 2020 China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey. The findings indicate that maintaining positive attitudes toward aging significantly improves the mental health of older adults by reducing depressive tendencies and enhancing life satisfaction. This conclusion remains robust after conducting sensitivity analyses and addressing issues of endogeneity. maintaining a positive aging attitudes contribute to improved mental health through three dimensions of digital inclusion: increasing access to digital tools, enhancing digital skills, and maximizing the benefits derived from digital use. Maintaining a positive attitudes towards aging can enable women, younger seniors, and older adults from rural areas. Therefore, future efforts should focus on fostering positive attitudes toward aging among the older adults, improving their digital inclusion across the dimensions of digital access, skills, and benefits, and pay attention to the internal variability within the aging population to ensure targeted and optimized policy and intervention.

    To achieve high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement, it ultimately depends on high-level innovative talents. The independent cultivation of top-notch innovative talents in China's higher education has undergone decades of exploration, and has basically formed four types: the "youth class" model, the "base class" model, the "planned" model, and the "experimental class" model in universities. At present, the independent cultivation of top-notch innovative talents in China still faces practical challenges such as the urgent need to change the cultivation concept, lack of innovation in the cultivation mode, unsmooth cultivation mechanism, and insufficient atmosphere for cultivation. Looking towards the future, it is necessary to lead the transformation of training objectives and evaluation concepts with lofty aspirations, promote the updating of training models and curriculum systems with innovative potential as the core, construct a long chain of independent training for top-notch innovative talents based on growth laws, create a good innovation atmosphere through collaborative participation, promote the optimization of the independent training mode for undergraduate innovative talents, and build a solid foundation for the training of top-notch innovative talents.

    Based on the theory of dual filial piety, by using the data of China's comprehensive social survey, this study explores the changing trends of filial piety concepts among Chinese residents and their correlation with fertility behaviors. The results show that from 2006 to 2017, the dual characteristics of residents' filial piety concepts have become more pronounced, with a decline in authoritative filial piety and a rise in reciprocal filial piety. Authoritative filial piety continues to enhance fertility behaviors, while the promotional effect of reciprocal filial piety is also evident in the recent period. Heterogeneity analysis indicates that the effects of dual filial piety on fertility behaviors are moderated by both temporal and spatial factors. In the new era, the promotional effect of authoritative filial piety on fertility behaviors is significantly weakened, particularly among women. Conversely, in the eastern regions, the promotional effect of reciprocal filial piety on fertility behaviors is significantly enhanced, with a more pronounced positive moderating effect among men.The study suggests that reciprocal filial piety represents the contemporary value of traditional Chinese filial concepts in terms of fertility influence. This effect has already been manifested among men. Moving forward, leveraging the latecomer advantage and drawing on experiences from the eastern regions, reciprocal filial piety can further stimulate the fertility potential of female groups, helping China to overcome its low fertility levels.

    The stone-inscriptions carry the thoughts and emotions of epigraphers, representing their epigenetic ideas from stone-edition to paper-edition, and from static-forms to dynamic-forms. Jin Shi Cui Bian is a masterpiece which collects 374 inscriptions in total and takes representative for Wang Chang's epigraphy contribution, and it mainly corrects the inscriptions on epigraphy, supplements the historical records, and proofreads the errors in the collection. Stone-inscriptions has a clear characteristic of "comments affiliated to explanations", which also focuses on depicting the original principles of Jin Shi, inducting the examples of epigraphy and summarizing the academic rheology. From the perspective of the history of reading, stone-inscriptions are the collective masterpieces of the works of authors, writers, hammers and readers. In addition, as the important supplements to stone-inscription, Jinshi poetry reproduces the scene of reading epigraphy through poetic form, and becomes another way of presenting Wang Chang's "comments affiliated to explanations".

    The political, people-centered, and strategic attributes of education are the new ideas and conclusions put forward by General Secretary Xi Jinping on the issue of education. These three aspects are dialectically unified and mutually interdependent, offering both theoretical guidance and a framework for action in the construction of a strong educational system in China. Political attribute serve as the guiding direction and fundamental guarantee for building a strong educational system. It requires adherence to the socialist system, upholding the Party's comprehensive leadership over educational work, strengthening and improving ideological and political education in schools, and firmly establishing socialist core values. People-centered attribute is the starting point and ultimate goal for constructing a country strong in education. It calls for vigorously developing education at all levels and in all forms, focusing on improving educational quality, promoting educational equity, accelerating the construction of a learning society, and providing education that satisfies the people. Strategic attribute is the long-term plan and decisive key to build a country strong in education. It requires the coordinated implementation of the strategies for rejuvenating the country through science and education, strengthening the country through talent, and driving development through innovation. This also includes constructing a high-quality education system and the independent talent training system, continuously advancing comprehensive educational reform, and managing the relationship between localization and internationalization effectively.

    Taking the long-term care insurance policy pilot as a quasi-natural experiment, this paper empirically examines the impact of the long-term care insurance policy pilot implementation on the labor participation behavior of offspring women based on the data from CHARLS2011 to 2018. The results show that the long-term care insurance pilot significantly increases the probability of offspring women entering the labor market, and the impact is mainly generated through two pathways: improving the health level of the elderly and increasing formal care behavior. Heterogeneity analysis found that, the policy details of multi-agent financing, proportional payment and service payment have a better effect on the labor participation of offspring women, and this effect is more obvious in rural areas. Therefore, efforts need to be made to recognize the value of family care labor, expand the coverage of long-term care insurance system, and improve the level of long-term care insurance benefits, so as to support the orderly flow of women in the family-market field according to their comparative advantages, and improve the efficiency of female labor factor allocation.

    Humour presents national attributes, and there exist notable differences between Chinese and Western humuor regarding cultural traditions and linguistic forms. Nevertheless, Chinese humor emphasizes the harmony between internal sublime and external irony that forms a significant commonality at the discourse level with British humor which emphasizes the discourse deviation from its narrative content, forming the foundation for the translatability of humuor. Lao She's witty Beijing local-coloured language parallels the facetious London stories of Charles Dickens, highlighting the shared art of humour in different languages. In translating humor, it is essential for translators to engage in cross-cultural coordination to identify cultural "correlatives" of humuor in the target language, thereby addressing cultural discrepancies in reproducing humorous elements. Meanwhile, translators need to accurately understand the stylistic and rhetoric construction of humour in the two languages, and explore the translatability of humuor. Furthermore, translators should employ the corresponding discourse deviations of the target language to reproduce the humorous art of the stylistic incongruity and rhetorical paradox in the source language, thereby achieving an appreciation and sharing of the national art of humuor.

    The general mode of Taoist immortal biographies is "Record of Immortal Cultivation" or "Record of Immortal Spirit Experience", and the article "Selected Works of Immortal Biography-Ma Zhou" breaks the previous writing mode. Du Guangting deliberately expresses in the text how a lost immortal official seeks to regain his true nature. The plot setting of Ma Zhou as an immortal official of Su Ling Gong in Mount Hua, who goes to Chang' an on the order of the immortal king to assist Li Shimin in securing the state and the country, shows that Du Guangting closely combines Taoism with the heavenly order of Li Tang Dynasty. Whether from the geographical point of view of Chang' an and Mount Hua, or from the point of view of the "monarch and minister" between Ma Zhou and Li Shimin, Du Guangting has carefully conceived of this to strengthen the "state religion" status of Taoism. Although this text is a biography of the immortal Ma Zhou, it conveys the concept of "divine right of kings". This view of providence is deeply rooted in China's ancient historical and cultural traditions.

    The Imperial Edict Monument of Jiaying Temple is a precious historical material that discussing Jiangnan towns in Song Dynasty. Through the analysis of the inscription, we can know that bandits, town gods and clans are the three important factors affecting the development of Jiangnan towns in Song Dynasty. The reason why the town was easy to be pillaged by bandits is that their market is prosperous and a large number of wealthy families are concentrated. It is also because of the limited power of the town officials in Song Dynasty and the weak defense forces of the towns. The town's shaping of the town gods can not only play a role in uniting the town's people, but also has the effect of integrating the loose regional society of the town. Especially for the town's people, in various activities of offering sacrifices and seeking titles, they strengthened their sense of identity as townsmen. The contribution of the clans to the town is mainly to assist the town supervisor in handling the town's affairs, to act as a bridge between the townsmen and local officials, and to build the town's infrastructure. The reason why they actively participate in the town affairs, in addition to the "sense of responsibility" based on their own status, more importantly is that they want to obtain more power from these "public welfare" activities, in order to maintain the status of the family in the town.

    The renovation of aging communities faces comprehensive challenges stemming from rapid urban changes. Beyond issues like deteriorating infrastructure and environmental degradation, integrating diverse human needs with local culture is also a prominent topic. The principle of "human-centered" design in inclusive design can be applied to address these dilemmas. By summarizing and synthesizing inclusive design cases, policies, and experts interview texts related to aging communities, and using grounded theory analysis, it was found that inclusive aging communities are based on seven key elements: population identity, suitable physical facilities, and comprehensive social services. Among these, suitable physical environment and maintaining economic balance are material conditions; comprehensive social services and equal opportunities are service conditions; population identity and cultural coexistence are emotional conditions. These three conditions are interconnected through management conditions that create trust and connections, forming a hierarchical presentation of "material inclusion, social inclusion, and emotional inclusion" in triple inclusive communities. Based on this, from a design perspective, an intervention is proposed, incorporating stakeholders and organizational structures to build the path to a resilient organizational network, ensuring continuity in inclusive design practices.

    The literature and thought transformation of Qianjia period is the focus of academic attention. By observing the poetry writings of the literati in the mid-Qing period, we can notice the polarization of luxury and poverty in the daily life of the literati in the capital, and also find the literati's sense of accelerated time passage and the sense of separation of interaction distance from their participation in the Elegant Gathering. The former stems from the changing landscape of the capital and the curfew system, while the latter stems from the focus of perspective and exclusivity in the appreciation of cultural relics, both of which together caused the loss of literati in the Qianjia capital. In order to cope with the pressure and loss of life in the capital, the literati not only lamented the relics and memorialized their predecessors in their poems, but also reshaped the public space of the literati through the reconstruction of architectural entities and ceremonial activities such as the Hall of the Willows and the Sending Garden, to alleviate the literati's anxieties about their emotions and identities. The Qianjia literati's experience of living in the capital inspired their sense of mission and unyielding arrogance, which also stimulated the development and inheritance of literature and scholarship in Qianjia period.

    The new company law places emphasis on the board of directors in power allocation between shareholders' meetings and boards, establishing a degree of board centralism. However, the new version of board centralism under the new company law still has some shortcomings. On one hand, it fails to thoroughly clarify power division between shareholders' meetings and boards, with residual power attribution absent. On the other hand, it does not address differentiated governance needs between limited companies and joint-stock companies. In this regard, we should make full use of normative autonomy space created by blank and arbitrary norms in company laws while combining characteristics unique to Chinese companies with relatively concentrated equity/shares through "constant management right+variable residual right" mode for board power allocation to build a Chinese-style board centralism that is highly adaptable. This means allowing closed companies such as limited ones or non-public issuance shares to move their power center upward while transferring part of management/operation rights from boards to shareholder meetings for improved decision-making efficiency and reduced agency costs; public listed companies have their power centers sink with boards delegating part of operation/management powers to managers while playing supervisory roles themselves-coupling modern corporate governance paradigms like separation ownership/management rights-providing effective institutional supply for different-sized firms.

    Artificial intelligence offers unprecedented historical opportunities to achieve freedom of life and spiritual freedom, but it brings challenges such as how to address anxiety over job replacement and how to ensure that in the education of artificial intelligence, the life and practice of humans are reflected, preventing intelligent machines from replacing human embodied cognition, emotional experiences, and spiritual activities. Zhuangzi's thought of "learning to swim" aims to cultivate the physical and mental ability to achieve life freedom and spiritual freedom, and embodies the life consciousness and aesthetic pursuit of Zhuangzi's educational thought. The original meaning of the word "Xiaoyao" is "reduce and shake", which reflects the subject consciousness of "things and I are integrated" and the knowledge construction view of "The hub of the Tao and the middle of the ring". In the era of artificial intelligence, education should draw on Zhuangzi's educational philosophy of "harmonious development of body and spirit", promoting the comprehensive and free growth of students body and mind. It should guide students to form an optimistic and proactive attitude towards life and cultivate the ability for symbiosis with machines, as well as the innovative capacity to participate in the digital construction of social consensus through embodied practice. Artificial intelligence literacy education should be integrated into daily teaching activities as much as possible, avoiding overemphasizing the job replacement crisis of artificial intelligence technology, and should not increase the burden on students under the guise of cultivating artificial intelligence literacy.

    In the poetic theory of Gong An school, "truth" is a very important concept. Though there has been a lot of research on the concept of "truth", the division of its meaning is still not detailed enough. This article divides "truth" into four aspects, which are personality, sensibility, genre, and expression, via canvassing the relevant literature of Gong An school. Based on these four aspects, the relationship between "truth" and "spirituality" is further explored, which actually equals the relationship between "essence" and "utility". However, some scholars establish the literary system of Gong An school based on "truth". On one hand, the causal position between "spirituality" and "truth" is reversed, and on the other hand, it also dilutes the status and value of other aesthetic styles in the literature of Gong An school to a certain extent. The pursuit of "truth" by Gong An school builds an independent personality, achieves the free expression of personal feelings, and promotes the flourishing of informal literary style in the late Ming Dynasty, while also representing the cultural spirit— "concentrating on the inner feeling instead of the outside world" — of that time.

The results show that: the mental health education status of class peers has a significant improvement effect on individual students' cognitive and non-cognitive abilities, and the conclusion is robust; the mechanism test shows that the mental health education status of class peers spills over to the cognitive and non-cognitive abilities of individual students mainly through improving the interactive relationship between peers. Heterogeneity analysis shows that the spillover effect of peer mental health education on the abilities of students of different gender is not consistent, and students from disadvantaged family backgrounds can benefit more from the spillover effect of class peer mental health education. Therefore, it is suggested to attach great importance to mental health education and integrate it into the overall planning of the reform and development of all kinds of schools at all levels, and to build a suitable micro-class environment, and optimize the allocation efficiency of class student resources.

Results showed that teaching and research hours significantly and negatively affect subjective well-being, and the negative effects caused by job demands mainly come from teaching rather than research. Moreover, work stress and health mediate the relationship of work hours and subjective well-being. Furthermore, teaching preference weaken the serial mediating effect of teaching work stress and health between teaching hours and subjective well-being. Therefore, colleges and universities should coordinate the construction of university culture with the reform of incentive system, guiding faculty to harmonize the relationship between teaching and research work; establish a supportive work environment to reduce the negative impact of work stress on faculty's health and subjective well-being; and promote the classified management of teaching positions based on faculty's work preferences, establishing an evaluation mechanism for university faculty that differentiates by discipline and position type.

    Based on the household income survey data of China from 1988 to 2018, a natural experiment was carried out with the implementation of the basic medical insurance system in urban and rural areas as the criterion, the effect of urban basic medical insurance and new rural cooperative medical insurance (NRCMS) on household consumption rate and its mechanism were investigated by double difference method. The results show that compared with the uninsured families, the consumption rate of the families participating in urban health insurance is significantly higher by 1.01%, but the effect of NRCMS is not significant. The mechanism analysis finds that urban health insurance promotes the total consumption and individual consumption expenditure of insured families, but the new rural cooperative medical system has no significant impact on consumption expenditure, urban health insurance and NRCMS had no significant effect on the total income and most of the partial income, which was consistent with the results of the baseline regression, urban health insurance has boosted household consumption rates for the middle-aged and elderly, the non-wealthy and the unhealthy, as well as in the west. In this regard, we should give full play to the basic medical insurance system to promote the positive role of household consumption rate, reflect on "Flood"-style financial subsidies. And it is necessary to change the current situation of "Household insurance separation"and "Industry insurance separation" in basic medical insurance, to strengthen the medical insurance policy for specific groups, and to pay attention to improve the sense of access of the insured youth and healthy groups.

Based on this, the practical path of balanced development of population support in the new era is put forward. In terms of theoretical logic, we should stand on the new development stage, implement the new development concept, and accelerate the establishment of a new pattern of balanced population development in the new era; on the practical path, we should actively improve the fertility policy and increase the willingness to give birth, comprehensively promote the construction of a healthy China and establish a new concept of health, and grasp the "harmony and differences" between urbanization and rural revitalization and promote the coordinated development of urban and rural areas. In order to better achieve these goals, the formulation of strategies should be problem-oriented and strengthen the synergy between population and economic strategies, so as to promote the long-term sustainable development of the population, the economy, society, resources and the environment.

    Beijing took the lead in proposing to promote the high-quality and balanced development of compulsory education in the whole country. Its experience is reflected in the following aspects: the high-quality and balanced policies were adopted first and played a guiding role. School layout adjustment and improvement plays a supporting role. Teachers allocation should be optimized on demand to play an active role. The construction of elements should be solid and fine to play a cornerstone role. In the new era, the challenges and problems of the high-quality and balanced development of compulsory education in Beijing are as follows: the large demand for degrees and unbalanced regional demand: the quantity and quality gap in the allocation of high-quality teachers: the optimization of key basic elements of school construction and the lack of coordination in the diffusion combination of high-quality resources. The first good standard for the quality and balance of compulsory education in Beijing lies in the development of "individualized" education. Therefore, we should optimize the school layout by using multiple sources, spreading internally, and dredging externally. We need to focus on the active mobility and competence priority, two-way mutual promotion, optimizing teacher rotation and implementing the principles of association, educating people by culture, linkage of elements, building a quality school. We also need to concentrate on the comprehensive factors, diverse models, effect monitoring for promoting the diffusion of resources.

    The unearthed epitaphs provide a new perspective for discussing specific issues related to the interaction, exchange, and blending of ethnic literature in the Northern Dynasties. Firstly, the epitaphs material shows that during the Northern Dynasty period, there was frequent interaction and exchange of ethnic literature in the Imperial Library and various princes' courts, which was an important external driving force for the development of ethnic literature in the Northern Dynasty. Secondly, the prominent family characteristics of the epitaphs also indicate that through the cohesion and transmission of elements such as education and marriage, ethnic literature in various families formed a strong internal growth force, and some outstanding non-Han literary families emerged. In addition, there are also materials showing the flow of scholars between the North and South, as well as the spread of Southern Dynasty literary concepts to the North, which confirms the connection between ethnic literature in the Northern Dynasty and the Southern Dynasty on a micro level. The flow and blending of different elements and forces contributed to the rise of ethnic literature in the Northern Dynasty, resulting in the emergence of a rich variety of "family biographies" in epitaphs in families such as the imperial clan of Tuoba with profound literary accummulation and some non-Han families, which enriched the unique value of ethnic literature in the Northern Dynasty and highlighted the exemplary significance of ethnic literature blending.

    Since the promulgation of the "Civil Code, " our country has officially incorporated the right of residence system into legislation. Although the current right of residence retains the characteristics of servitudes, it also leaves room for new types of contractual rights of residence with investment purposes, such as "house for pension." However, the actual operation of this system has not been ideal. The background of introducing the right of residence system in our country is different from that of countries like Germany, and there are differences in transaction risks. The traditional family ethics of our country have also had a certain impact on the operation of this system. The dual legislative goals of social security and investment will generate a series of problems during the implementation of the system. Achieving the system's goal of investment through debt is more cost-effective and flexible, and is more feasible. Investment-oriented residential benefits are more suitable for protection through a creditor's rights model; the right of residence should return to the logic of servitudes, and a right of residence that is not transferable or inheritable in principle should be established, so as to give the parties the freedom to establish the duration and consideration of the right of residence, thereby achieving its primary goal of social security.

    In order to meet the theoretical needs of building a proletarian party, Marx and Engels jointly wrote the Communist Manifesto, a programmatic document of Scientific Socialism. In the Communist Manifesto, they clarified the nature and value orientation of the proletarian party, pointed out the main force that the proletarian party should rely on for its construction, and proposed the theory of Class Struggle and Scientific Socialism as the theoretical basis for the construction of the proletarian party. The Party Building Thought of Marx and Engels contained in the Communist Manifesto constitutes the theoretical starting point of Marxist Party Building Theory, and still has important enlightenment value for today's CPC to strengthen its own construction. To continually promote the new great project of Party building in the new era, we must have firm ideals and beliefs, and constantly arm the whole Party with scientific theories; we must be brave in self-revolution and maintain the progressiveness and purity of the Party; we should put the political construction of the Party in the first place and create a political ecology with a good atmosphere and uprightness within the Party; we should inherit and carry forward the spirit of internationalism and promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind; we should formulate correct policies and strategies to promote the liberation and development of productivity.

    Utilizing the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) data and employing the difference-in-differences method, this study evaluates the welfare effects of the long-term care insurance pilot policy on residents in the region. The results show that long-term care insurance mainly alleviates the medical burden on families in pilot cities by reducing downward intergenerational support and promoting household consumption, thereby improving individuals' self-rated health and psychological well-being. However, the long-term care insurance system has not yet brought about overall welfare effects, which can be attributed to factors such as urban-rural disparities, insurance coverage models, age structures, and policy duration. At the same time, macro data were used to test the positive externalities generated by the long-term care insurance policy at the level of the whole society, specifically in terms of income effects, consumption effects and employment effects. Therefore, the pace of establishing a long-term care insurance system should be accelerated; the transformation of informal care into formal care should be promoted; emphasis should be placed on creating a sound health management system and differentiating long-term care insurance policies to maximize welfare effects; the coverage of long-term care insurance should be expanded to ensure the fairness and effectiveness of the policy; and synergies in various fields should be strengthened to give full play to the positive externalities of long-term care insurance at the social level.

    The world as a process is neither the process described by atomism, where atoms as objects mechanically collide and never generate a subject, nor the process described by idealism, where the absolute subject directly manifests in particular things. Instead, it is a process where concrete subjects are continuously generated from the contradictory movement of objects. Atomism discusses generation, but what is generated is not a subject; idealism discusses the subject, but the subject is not generated. Neither atomism nor idealism can grasp the proposition "the subject is generated." Only materialist dialectical logic can reveal the generation of self-determined forms from the contradictory movement of matter, thereby revealing the process of subject generation. "The subject is generated" is the core proposition of dialectical logic and the rational core of Hegel's philosophy. However, Hegel set the noumenon of the world on the absolute idea, that is, the absolute form, and actually canceled the independence of the material and also the process of generating self-form from the contradictory movement of the material. In Marx's "Doctoral Thesis", he interpreted the atom straight line motion as the principle of material, and interpreted the oblique motion of atoms as the principle of self-form, and established the dialectical logic of materialism with the unity of opposites of material and form as the basic content, and made the dialectical logic completely get rid of the shadow of Hegel's idealistic theological dogmatism logic. Since then, Marx applied materialist dialectical logic to solve the problem of material interests, and founded historical materialism, scientific political economy and scientific socialism, which laid a scientific logic foundation for us to understand the development of nature and human society.

    Based on the 2021 National Survey of Doctoral Graduates, this study analyzed the differences in employment destinations among students from different family backgrounds. The results show that: firstly, students from disadvantaged families tend to work in non-metropolitan cities compared to those from advantageous families, and the proportion of employment in first-tier cities is lower; secondly, compared to the advantageous students, the disadvantaged ones are more likely to find employment in ordinary universities, and the proportion of employment in "Double First-Class" construction colleges and universities is lower; thirdly, regardless of whether they are employed in the academic sector or non-academic sectors, students from disadvantaged backgrounds are less likely to stay in first-tier cities compared to their advantageous peers. To reduce the impact of family background on the employment location of doctoral graduates, talent policies in big cities, especially in first-tier cities, should prioritize providing enhanced living security for doctoral graduates, so as to minimize the impact of family background factors, especially economic factors, on the employment choice of doctoral talents. In addition to providing competitive welfare guarantees, talent policies in non-metropolitan cities should focus on providing support for the career development of doctoral graduates.

    In the field of public elderly care, the embedded service strategy for top-down government purchase of social work professional services has become an important way for the state to respond to the demand of public residential care for the elderly. In the professional services of elderly homes, social work agencies adopted the embedding strategy and found that professional forces can be "successfully" embedded through their own dynamic effectiveness to rebuild the internal professional service supply order of homes, but after embedding, they still face three challenges: structural embedding cannot resolve the uncertainty of purchasing policy, cognitive embedding is insufficient to construct a professional service system, and cultural embedding limits the generation of endogenous dynamics. Further practice of the case shows that: the maintenance of long-term and stable social work service mechanism for elderly homes requires social work agencies to shift from one-way embeddedness to chimeric development in integration with public courtyards. From three dimensions of value integration, action integration, and subject integration, social work agencies can seek mutual integration value, shape common practice orientation and promote two-way identity, so as to realize the service path change in a general sense.

    The leapfrog development of students from underprivileged families is an important representation of the degree of social structure accommodation and the degree of educational equity realization. In order to break the inherent label of weak learning motivation and lack of school experience of students from underprivileged families, through in-depth analysis of the middle school experience of 8 students from underprivileged families and 16 autobiographical materials, the generation mechanism of their learning motivation and campus experience are explored. It is found that students from underprivileged backgrounds show two kinds of motivation in interpersonal and environmental interaction in middle school: one is the "expectation-satisfaction" motivation to meet future expectations through active actions, and the other is the "resource-maintenance" motivation to try to maintain existing resources to avoid loss. The formation and development of the above motivation are affected by the emotional reward and punishment mechanism. With the motivation to study, students from underprivileged backgrounds can achieve academic achievements under the "achievement first" rule of the middle school field, and then obtain positive emotions through positive teacher-student interaction and peer communication, so that they can change from the disadvantaged social and economic status to the "advantaged group" in the campus, so as to obtain and maintain diversified capital. This means that students from underprivileged families can obtain positive emotions and favorable positions by following field rules, and break the restrictions of family background to a certain extent.

    Using a sample of A-share listed companies in China from 2007 to 2022, this study examines the impact of social insurance contributions on enterprises' employment dynamics. The results show that an increase in social insurance contributions suppresses labor employment growth. Specifically, a 1% increase in per capita social insurance contributions leads to an overall decrease of approximately 9.35% in employment growth. The results remain robust after addressing endogeneity issues, changing measurement indicators, and adjusting the sample for estimation. Mechanism analysis indicates that an increase in enterprise social insurance contributions leads to a decline in labor employment growth through channels such as reducing enterprise output, substituting labor with capital, and increasing technological research and development activities. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that the negative impact of social insurance contributions on enterprise employment growth is more pronounced in private enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises, labor-intensive enterprises, and enterprises with weaker cost-shifting abilities. In response, it is necessary to reasonably reduce the burden of social insurance contributions and appropriately lower the statutory social insurance contribution rate to implement the "employment-first" policy. Support should be provided to private enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises, and efforts should be made to strengthen enterprises' innovation capabilities and to promote their transformation and upgrading.

    The participation of senior citizens in volunteering is a complex and dynamic social phenomenon, driven by both individual motivations and needs, as well as influenced by social relationships and external environment. This study applies a social mechanism analysis perspective, examining the motivations for senior citizens' participation in volunteer services, the challenges they face, and potential pathways for enhancing their involvement, from the micro-level of individual interactions to the macro-level of societal structures. The study suggests that limited volunteering options fail to meet the senior citizens' needs for self-actualization, the decline of community cohesion leads to a loss of "sense of community", and inadequate external support, caused by incomplete institutional and cultural environments, all hinder senior citizens' participation in volunteering. To improve their participation, the study proposes several strategies: expanding the content of volunteer services to meet the diverse needs of older adults, rebuilding community cohesion to enhance their sense of belonging, and creating an age-friendly volunteering system and cultural environment to provide robust external support.

    Considering the national pilot policy of information benefit as a quasi-natural experiment in the implementation of governance digitization by the government, this paper explores the impact of digitization of government governance on the development of new quality productive forces using 285 city-level data from 2010 to 2021. It is found that the digitization of government governance can significantly promote the development of new quality productive forces, and has a positive effect on the development of new-quality workers, new-quality labor means and new-quality labor objects; mechanism analysis shows that the digitization of government governance can play the role of efficient market by promoting market competition and improving resource allocation efficiency, and can also play the role of active government by reducing institutional transaction costs and optimizing the business environment, thus promoting the development of new quality productive forces; heterogeneity analysis finds that the digitization of government governance is more capable of promoting the development of new quality productivity in regions with high intensity of intellectual property protection, high level of smart logistics infrastructure, and high attention to the digital economy. In this regard, the process of digital transformation of government governance should be accelerated in the future; the channel of transmission of the digitalization of government governance to empower the development of new quality productivity should be deepened; differentiated policies should be formulated to improve the precision of the digitization of government governance.

    The new Company Law directly confuses the civil liability of independent directors with the liability of non independent directors, which theoretically creates a structural mismatch and in practice leads to an imbalance in the rights and obligations of independent directors. The root of the problem lies in the current regulations ignoring significant differences between independent directors and non independent directors in terms of role positioning, fiduciary obligations, and compensation and benefits. Based on the principles of law and economics, the construction of the civil liability system for independent directors in China should follow the "economic man" hypothesis, cost-benefit analysis, and optimal compensation liability theory. On this basis, the responsibility base is based on the income of independent directors, and the responsibility scope of independent directors is reasonably set by multiplying the degree of fault of independent directors for violating their duty of diligence by the corresponding responsibility multiplier. In other words, if an independent director has minor negligence, they do not need to bear responsibility; if an independent director has general negligence, they shall bear responsibility within the range of one to two times the total income of their tenure; if an independent director has gross negligence, they shall bear responsibility within the range of three to five times the total income of their tenure. At the same time, exceptions should be made where independent directors who violate their fiduciary duties and intentionally harm the interests of the company or third parties shall bear full liability for compensation.

    The development of super high schools may increase the regional differences in admission opportunities to top universities within a city, which is not conducive to large cities guiding the population to flow to the suburbs. Based on the analysis of the survey data of a top university (University A)'s students in Beijing (2001—2021), it is found that there are obvious differences in admission opportunities to top universities between urban and suburban areas in Beijing. In recent years, the super high schools and the first high school located in the urban area have monopolized about 40% and more than 20% of the freshmen of University A respectively. The monopoly of super high schools has reduced the admission opportunities to top universities for ordinary senior high school students in Beijing, but this negative impact is mainly manifested in the impact on the admission possibility to top universities for ordinary high school students in suburbs, the density of top universities freshmen from ordinary high schools in suburbs and the relative admission ranking of ordinary high schools in suburbs, while the impact on ordinary high schools in urban areas is not obvious. Therefore, we should increase the input of quality education resources in suburbs, strengthen the overall planning of resources by the government of the municipality directly under the central government, and at the same time, we need to make efforts in expanding the resource coverage of quality high schools, improving the quality of suburban teachers, and optimizing the planning and layout of high schools.

    Virtual currencies possess a relatively high inherent money-laundering risk due to their characteristics of anonymity, transnationality, and decentralization. In practice, the number of cases involving money-laundering through virtual currencies has been continuously increasing. The current prohibition policy in China cannot effectively address such inherent risks. Instead, it aggravates the trends of underground and cross-border virtual currency transactions, resulting in a unique residual risk condition. Consequently, virtual currency money-laundering crime cases face varying degrees of governance dilemmas in a series of aspects including crime detection, criminal investigation, and the recovery and disposal of assets. Under such circumstances, the current prohibition-oriented governance model ought to be adjusted. The formulation of the Digital Property Law should be expedited to clarify the non-financial commodity nature of virtual currencies and incorporate virtual currency transactions into the scenario-based multiple supervision of individual overseas investment activities, thereby constructing a smooth pathway for legal virtual currency transactions. Based on this, relevant provisions of the Anti-Money-Laundering Law and procedural rules related to virtual currencies should be refined to provide sufficient institutional support for the prevention and punishment of virtual currency money-laundering crimes. Additionally, the on-chain and off-chain governance, institutional and technological governance, as well as domestic and international governance should be coordinated to ensure the effective operation of the virtual currency anti-money-laundering governance system.

    Based on a questionnaire survey of social media users, this paper empirically analyzes the impact of anti-intellectualism on the cognition, attitudes, and behaviors of science communication audiences. The results indicate significant differences in anti-intellectualism tendencies among groups with varying demographic characteristics. Social media users often exhibit an instrumental understanding of scientific knowledge, and their trust in various intellectual groups is notably inconsistent, with economists and experts receiving the lowest level of trust. Anti-intellectualism is found to significantly and positively predict the degree of individual misunderstanding of scientific and technological information, while it negatively predicts individual attitudes toward science communication. Furthermore, it influences individual behaviors related to the communication of scientific and technological information through a chain mediation involving scientific misunderstanding and attitudes toward science communication. In order to mitigate the negative impact of anti-intellectualism on science communication, government agencies should implement supportive policies that encourage scientists to highlight the practical significance of their research findings. Media outlets and platforms should enhance information management and work to reshape the public image of experts. Science communication professionals must take into account the specific characteristics of their audience to improve the accuracy of their messaging. Various stakeholders should cultivate a robust awareness of ideological risk prevention and strengthen public opinion guidance in the realm of science popularization.
