    The development of new quality productive forces in agriculture is both an essential need and a central priority for further deepening comprehensive reforms and promoting the construction of a strong agricultural countryThe emergence of new quality productive forces in agriculture signifies an advanced form of productivity that deeply integrates reform, harmonizes development with security, prioritizes humancentered values, advocates for organic transformation, and progressively widens the scope of highstandard openup policyThe development of new quality productive forces in agriculture is propelled by the synergy of technological innovation, talent cultivation, and systemic reformHowever, there are notable deficiencies in the capabilities of agricultural scientific and technological innovation, particularly in research and development, technology adoption, and their applicationTo address these shortcomings, it is imperative to further reform current systems and mechanisms, thereby fostering the growth of new quality productive forces in agriculture. Firstly, it is crucial to establish an integrated agricultural supply system of scientific and technological innovationSecondly, we should explore innovative models for the allocation of agricultural factors to improve factor endowment, the optimization of factor configuration, and the improvement of factor flow efficiencyAdditionally, we must strategically plan the transformation of agricultural industry, focusing on stabilizing traditional sectors, bolstering emerging industries, and preparing for the development of future industries.

    The awareness of questioning, with an inherent structural form, holds an important position in social sciencesThere are three forms of questioning in social sciencesThe first concerns about reality, focusing on contemporary hot issues and inevitably leads to the fragmentation of knowledgeThe second concerns about history, retracing historical contextual conditions and processes to form a historically oriented social scienceThe third form focuses on the eternal problems that human beings cannot resolve and aims to giving birth to a new type of social sciencesThe three forms of questioning accept philosophical thinking and provide a longlasting mechanism of dialogue for the understanding of the eternal problems in the development of both Chinese and other civilizations in this world.

    Influenced by the Oedipus effect, the traditional epistemological approach and criteria of truth are often confronted by the challenges of changing testing scales in regard to the problems of prediction and testing in social sciencesSome even question the universality of the principle that “practice is the sole testing criterion to find truth” as well as the feasibility of prediction and testing in social sciencesThe practical test of prediction should be led by the approach of axiology and criteria of efficacy, assisted by the epistemological approach and criteria of truth, so as to carry out double testing and comprehensive evaluation of prediction in social sciencesThese two complementary testing approaches and criteria reflect the concept of testing in practice and are also enriched by the principle holding that practice is the sole testing criterion to find truthSuch specific problems as conflicts and failure in coordination occurring in the process need to be further addressed.

    Unlike traditional government documents, the governments work report carries the authority in shaping its image, spreading governing concepts, implementing constitutional values, gaining broad support, carrying out national will, and accepting external supervisionAccording to the provisions of the Chinese Constitution, the governments work report is not only a political document, but also a constitutional arrangement, containing the constitutional requirements that the governments actions should comply with the constitutional norms, conform to the constitutional principles, safeguard the constitutional rights, and accept the constitutional supervisionAs a fundamental law of a country, the Constitution is the general charter to govern and safeguard the country as well as the basis for administrative organs to be responsible for and to report their workFrom a constitutional perspective, the system of the governments work report has at least four foundations, that is, the normative foundation possessed by the development of the constitutional system, the objective foundation set by the preamble provisions of the constitution, the guaranteed foundation implied by the basic rights provisions, and the supervisory foundation granted by the institutional provisions of the stateIn the process of developing peoples democracy in the whole process and building Chinese path to its modernization, it is necessary to fully explain the constitutional basis contained in the governments work report system and to make it an open blueprint for administrative offering, a supervisory window for democratic systems, and a path to govern the country according to its constitution.

    he institutional design and practical exploration of the separation and connection of discipline and law have resulted in the emergence and development of discipline of the Communist Party of ChinaCurrent study in this field is characterized by the lack of systematic and standardized thinkingThis makes it necessary to develop a systematic methodology to study the Party disciplineIt means that, in order to develop such methodology, we need to take Marxist theory, legal theories, and the studies of Party history and Party building as fundamental guidelinesThe implementation of such systematic methodology means to study substantive and procedural aspects, to study punishment and its execution, and to study discipline and law enforcement in the regulatory system of disciplinary inspection, the Party regulatory system, and the system of socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristicsIn order to develop a standardized methodology, we need first to respect the original intention of the regulations without arbitrarily applying them by analogyWe also need to use explanatory methods properly to avoid mechanical understanding of the regulations. Finally, we need to make good use of the four forms of supervision and discipline without interpreting them arbitrarily and strictly.

    The rapid development of digital economy has transformed the allocation of labor resources, leading to structural changes in the labor marketIts impact is so profound that its extends far beyond the enterprises directly engaged in digital transformationThis article adopts a supply chain perspective and, based on the sample of Ashare listed companies from 2012 to 2019, empirically finds that the digital transformation of suppliers significantly enhances the labor income share of customer enterprisesThe mechanism analysis reveals that digital transformation has a peer effect in the supply chain network as downstream companies learn from suppliers in advancing digitalizationOn the other hand, the customer enterprises need to screen the effectiveness of suppliers digital transformationEven if they do not implement digital transformation themselves, they will be affected by suppliersThrough these two channels, the digital transformation of suppliers has increased the average wages and the proportion of highly skilled and highly educated talent hired by customersWhile enhancing the labor income share, it has also widened the wage gap between higherskilled and lowerskilled labors.

    Emotional value has emerged as an important factor driving the outofcircle phenomena regarding the cultural tourism IP (CTIP)This emergence resulted from many factors, not only including the integrated development of culture and tourism and the IPdriven transformation of the cultural tourism industry, but also including the heightened psychological needs after the pandemicThe framework with one core and four dimensions forms the cornerstone of emotional value in CTIP, in which creativity serves as the heart, supported by spiritual connotation, scenery creation, interactive experience, and social fission as four pivotal dimensionsThe emotion economy embodies the tangible transformation and creation of CTIPs emotional value in displaying such multidimensional traits as authenticity, empathy, relativity, sustainability, and mediationTo elevate CTIPs emotional value, it is necessary to enrich the content provision, value creation, and social impact with additional humanistic elements, while reinforcing the pillars of cultural depth, aesthetic nuances, creativity and innovation, along with a humanistic spirit, for the development and practical manifestation of CTIPs emotional value.

    The existence of family is prior to that of civil society and political stateAs a legal concept, it is the states normative description of the existing ethical order of familyFrom a historical perspective, the family has played a dual role as the embodiment of ethical order and unit of state governance in both traditional and contemporary ChinaFollowed by the state in its normative descriptions, the logic differs between the two roles, so do the boundaries of the concept of familyAs the embodiment of ethical order, the family is the purpose of governance in itself, whose concept should be strictly defined according to Articles 1045 and 1050 of The Civil CodesAs the basic unit of state governance, however, the family serves as a tool to achieve other purposes of governance and its boundaries should be defined as to the exact purpose of governance accordinglyIn addition, the concept of family allows a third interpretation marking the boundary between the family ethical system and other systemsThe delineation of the boundaries of the family here requires specific analysis on a casebycase basis.

    The study of Humanistic Economics in the New Era requires considerable theoretical constructionWe need to clarify the materialist historical foundation of the Humanistic Economics in the New Era in order to accurately define its Marxist source and differentiate it from Western humanistic economicsWe also need to explain the phenomena of cultural and economic development in different regionsThe difficulty confronting this task is how to reasonably explain the core proposition of Humanistic Economics in the New Era, namely the bidirectional driving and symbiotic relationship between culture and economy in the framework of historical materialism theory, so as to avoid contradicting the basic principle of economy determining culture and the intellectual trap of Western industrial economics merely regarding culture as a factor for capital accumulationTo solve this problem, it is necessary to explore how global changes and transformations have created new changes and new features economically and culturally and how they have developed a new economic form of humanistic economyThis article proposes a historical analysis of the contemporary transformation of global economy, the economic form of Chinese modernization, and the relationship between these twoIt shows that, based on the theoretical ground of historical materialism, the Humanistic Economics in the New Era is not only rooted in the historical reality of the current era, but is also lodged in longterm human development.

    In studying Mercantilism and Physiocracy retrospectively, scholars figure out that the point of mercantilism putting labor outside of wealth while physiocracy putting labor into wealth resulting from an oversimplification of the twoMercantilism does not consider the equivalence of wealth and money as its whole theoretical basisOn the contrary, based on the application of economic policies, manufacturing and industry are regarded as wealthcreating activities, and the Mercantilist view of wealth contains subjective elementsAlthough Physiocracy puts labor into the vision of wealth, for it places land in the first place of wealth and thus combines agricultural labor with wealth, it was difficult to attribute the essence of wealth to labor and labor is merely the subject composition of wealth and dos not constitutes its subject essenceA clarification as such helps us to further update the basic judgment of traditional history of political economy and to completely understand them in the early and late phases of Marx, and also helps us to understand the diversified characteristics of the subject in those times and its future development.

    The bense (natural color) theory triggered by Su Shis creative practice of “measuring cipoetry with poetry” has not fully clarified the specific connotation of benseAlthough the practice of “measuring cipoetry with poetry” has raised the status of cipoetry and has demonstrated Song peoples potential consciousness of “respecting the status of literary”, the contradiction between the consciousness of “respecting the status of literary” and the pursuit of bense also betrays the limit of Song peoples “respecting the status of literature”The concept of “measuring cipoetry with poetry” also contributed to the internal poetic view of Song peoples cipoetry, forming two layers of theoretical summary, one being the creative technique of using poetry to write lyrics and the other, the aesthetic view of using poetry as a standard to evaluate words, each with their own different theoretical connotationsThe means of “measuring cipoetry with poetry” not only adheres to the methods and scales, but also creates new writing techniquesIt amounts to a concrete confirmation and recognition of the spirit of the unconventional literary writing techniques in Song literatureAs a result, the practice of “measuring cipoetry with poetry” contributed to the transformation of Song literary theory as a whole.

    Developed in his historicizing critique of television, Williams concept of Mobile Privatization has implications for the understanding of any new form of media in the capitalist mode of productionIn this regard, Benjamins spatial criticism developed from his philosophy of history and Virilios accelerated aesthetics based on the optics theory have brought the theoretical effects of this concept to the frontWhile highlighting the ultimate determinism of the mode of production, the theoretical starting point of Mobile Privatization is the sublation of technological determinismThis understanding allows us to see through the ideological fantasy of technological fetishism, on the one hand, and to further understand the technological cognition that belongs to socialist modernity, on the other.
