Significant progress in human economic and social development is generally driven by revolutions in productive forcesAs an innovative development of Marxs theory of productive forces, newquality productive forces represent a revolution in productive forcesFollowing the initiation of the reform and openingup policy, China has embarked on a path of socialist development with Chinese characteristics, gradually establishing a development model supported by traditional productive forcesWith the transition of Chinas economic development stages, the development mode supported by traditional productive forces is no longer sustainableDeveloping newquality productive forces is an intrinsic requirement for transforming the development mode and achieving highquality developmentIn practice, newquality productive forces have demonstrated strong driving and supporting forces for highquality development and industrial revolutionTo develop newquality productive forces, it is necessary to follow the laws of economic operation, facilitate the transformation and upgrading of traditional productive forces, use methods in line with local circumstances, proceed from reality, emphasize the synergistic development of science, technology, education, and talent, and to construct corresponding new production relations.

The development of new quality productive forces requires a full understanding of its theoretical connotation and contemporary significance. Marx discussed productive forces and labor productivity at the levels of historical materialism and political economy, respectively. Xi Jinping's exposition on developing new quality productive forces positions it as a strategic choice to resolve the principal contradictions facing Chinese society. It has formed a systematic theory on productive forces led by technological innovation and has laid out new production relations accordingly. The development of new quality productive forces entails self-reliance in science and technology, forming an intelligent and networked organization of production and a digitalized industrial ecosystem, integrating urban and rural development, reforming the systems of talent cultivation and social security, and achieving a new balance between social supply and social demand through the transformation of production modes. The development of new quality productive forces is not only a fundamental guideline for promoting high-quality economic development, but also an inevitable requirement for China to navigate the profound changes unseen in a century and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

This paper explains the profound connotation and significance of and the path to the idea of building a modern civilization of the Chinese nationIn the process of the evolution of Chinese civilization, there is a transformation from a traditional civilization to a modern civilizationThe modern civilization of the Chinese nation is a modern form of Chinese civilizationThe idea of building a modern civilization of the Chinese nation contains consciousness, selfconfidence, and selfimprovement of the Chinese civilizationThe important judgment of building a modern civilization of the Chinese nation is profoundly embedded in historyIt reflects the requirement of Chinese modernization as an important part of the advanced socialist cultureThe idea of building a modern civilization of the Chinese nation reveals the internal logic of the development of both Chinese and global civilizations, enriches the Marxist concept of civilization, and provides scientific guidance for Chinese modernization and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Li Bai does not neglect the art of literary parallelism in his poetic writingHe personalized and transformed use of it insteadHis creative employment of literary parallelism appears in the writing of both older style of poetry and regulated versesLi Bai intentionally blurred the distinctions between old style of poetry and regulated verses to achieve aesthetic harmony in his use of literary parallelismOn the one hand, he breaks the neatness of verses, shifting the readers focus from couplets to the flowing quality of regulated verses on the other hand, Li Bai fully absorbed the art of literary parallelism from previous generations in his writing of older style of poetryThis development reconciled the contradictions between olderstyle poetry and regulated verses. Accordingly, he enhanced the freedom of lyrical expression and articulation of personal willLi Bai's pioneering exploration in the art of literary parallelism constitutes a significant part of his poetic writing.

The Green Rural Revival Program was a significant decision initiated by Comrade Xi Jinping during his working period in Zhejiang, which has substantially contributed to the practical experience underpinning the current comprehensive rural revitalization effort. Using the developmental philosophy, working method, and the promotion mechanism as an analytical framework, this article explores the worldview encompassing people, ecology, and development, alongside the methodology of system, contradiction, and practice deeply entrenched in the program. This article systematically analyzes the motivation and developmental history of the program, summarizing the principal practices including the habitat improvement, multiplanning reform, urbanrural integration, rural industrial development, and multilinkage mechanism. It advocates that the program should prioritize comprehensive land consolidation as its cornerstone, and continuously enhance the leadership effectiveness, exemplary function, and governance capacity to provide guidance for the indepth study of the programs experience and the promotion of comprehensive rural revitalization.

The development of productive forces is the lever of the evolution of human progress. After a century of struggle, the Communist Party of China has successfully led the people to find a new path of Chinese modernization and create a new model for human progressThe achievement is inseparable from the Party's persistence and exploration of the continuous development of productive forcesIn the new historical conditions, the proposal of the newquality productive force provides a new driving force for the realization of Chinese modernization and the creation of the new model for human progressIn the process of Chinese modernization, the newquality productive forces have realized the transcendence of the development concept, growth concept, and development paradigm of capitalist civilization with its transcendental logic of civilization, thus constantly opening up new realms for the leap of productive forcesAs a practical requirement for Chinese modernization to continue a new model for human progress, it is necessary to fully develop the leading role of the Party and the state to ensure the evolutional direction of the new model for human progress, to promote scientific and technological innovation and industrial revolution to reshape the driving force of growth for the  new model for human progress, to accelerate the formation of new productive relations to build an internal order of the new model for human progress, and to solidify a modern economic system to consolidate the material foundation for the new model for human progress.

The rejuvenation of Chinese nation on all fronts through a Chinese path to modernization relies on the construction of its social valuesThe notion of the Chinese nation as one community includes many longstanding common valuesEstablishing the big family of the Chinese nation with joint efforts, the striving spirit of the achievement of a better life, the philosophy of harmony and combination of Chinese people of all ethnic groups close to each other like in one family, and the selfless dedication for the big family of the Chinese nation together constitute the value of the notion of the Chinese nation as one communityThese values demonstrate the defining characteristics of the Chinese civilization, lead to the unity of peoples selfrealization and the construction of the Chinese nation as one family, and reflect the common interests and shared destiny of the Chinese people of all ethnic groupsThe connotations of these values continue to develop through different agesThese values are important manifestation of the common psychological quality of the Chinese nation as one communityUnder the background of Chinese modernization, these values help to forge a strong sense of the notion of Chinese nation as one community, to comprehensively promote the ethnic unity and progress, to tell the stories well about the notion of Chinese nation as one community, and to deal with possible risks and challenges effectively.

Huizinga regards games as a free, truly autonomous field of activity and the birthplace of all human cultureInheriting Huizingas game theory legacy, the Situationist International endows games with a revolutionary spirit that contains perfect orderHowever, the issues related to games should be studied from the perspective of realistic conditions and relations of productionAgainst the background of rapid development of digital capitalism, games have already allied with capitalism, forming a sort of “Ludo capitalism” discussed in this articleLudo capitalism is not a conceptual inventionFrom the era of singleplayer games in the form of simple commodity circulation, to the era of rent games participating in land cultivation in a living organic form, and again to the era of consumer games with the illusion of “lifetime free use” that inevitably encounter false demands in a consumer society, the characteristics of ludo capitalism are obviousThis article points out that the political, economic critique of ludo capitalism mainly focuses on the exchange magic cast by ludo capitalism on peoples social capital, the exploitation of free leisure time through the dehumanized ghost of artificial intelligence, and the ideological issues in the process of game consumption.

The possibility of having moral knowledge is one of the metaproblems of ethics. This article tries to answer the questions on moral knowledge in studying the theories of obtaining knowledge by investigating things raised by Zhu Xi and Wang Yangming. According to Zhu Xi, the knowledge obtained in the process of learning belongs to the kind of thorough moral knowledge in the process of enlightening and reflecting principles between things, principles through action, principles of human relation, and the human nature. Wang Yangming questions the possibility of uniting the internal and external principles, and thinks that the reliable way to obtain true knowledge is to unite knowledge and practice, to put mind and principle together, to seek moral knowledge internally, and to attribute the possibility of having knowledge to the Heavenly Principle. These two theories expressed with the same words by Zhu Xi and Wang Yangming offer a solution to the practicability of moral knowledge establishing a stance of moral realism that sets the Heavenly Principle as the basis for moral knowledge. It combines the perceptions of moral facts and moral value and the concepts of principles regarding human relation and principles between things, and guarantees the possibility of having moral knowledge in uniting knowledge and practice.

Legal interpretation constitutes one of the most controversial concepts in jurisprudenceThe part of“interpretation”is often considered as what leads to a controversial“legal interpretation”However, if we ignore the“legal”part of a“legal interpretation”, we cannot truly understand the controversial nature of legal interpretationsSince a legal interpretation is usually another name for interpretation of statutory law, the main object of a legal interpretation is the statutory law and the meaning of the statutory law is determined by its due language and textual meaningOne would assume that the necessity of legal interpretation is associated with linguistic problems, yet such assumption inevitably mars the significance of statutory law and we must rethink the necessity of legal interpretationIn fact, a law provides different kinds of guidance to officials and the public, and it is vital to maintain consistency between continuity and authority of the lawSince all types of laws are faced with the two issues, an legal interpretation is related with both case law and customary law.

The methodology of jurisprudence was once seen as the embodiment of the scientific nature of jurisprudence, the only approach to the sole correct solution to legal problemsAfter the illusion of the“sole correct solution”was shattered, the allure of jurisprudential methods waned, even being regarded as being dispensable, relegated to the guise of political positionsBoth views are biasedJurisprudential methods are neither valueneutral nor arbitraryThe same applies to constitutional law methodologyThe construction of the methodological system of Chinese constitutional law must be confronted with the dual uniqueness of“Chinese Constitution”, namely, the uniqueness of China and the uniqueness of the constitution itselfThe uniqueness of constitutional methodology lies in the fact that the constitution must lay the foundation for the values of the entire legal systemThe uniqueness of Chinese constitutional methodology lies in the necessity to base it on the situation of China's constitutional changes since modern times, grasp the continuity and changes of the current constitution, and regard the inherent logic of the evolution of Chinese constitutional changes as a premise or precondition for understanding the“1982 Constitution”, which is to take constitutional changes as a methodBased on this, the methodological system of Chinese constitutional law can be reconstructed theoretically, knowledgeably, and interpretativelyOnly with the perspective of the overall constitutional change can the originalist method be correctly applied and thus balance both the original intent and the changes in specific constitutional interpretations.

The intellectual undercurrent of ideas on the modern Chinese term“scitech and philosophy”is an organic component of the history of philosophy of scitech and a valuable resource for the development of this discipline. The study on science and philosophy includes four dimensions: history and philosophy of science, philosophy about science, philosophy of science, and scientific philosophy. The study on scitech, humanities, and society includes scientific spirit and culture, new humanism, sociology of science, science and technology, and so forth. The reflection on the three derivative topics of the problem domain of philosophy of scitech, the discipline group of scitech and humanities, and the community of scitech era is also inspiring. The transition from“scitech and philosophy”to“philosophy of scitech”is a chain reaction of the increasing dominance of scientific culture and the mutual challenge of scietech and humanities in academic research and disciplinary evolution in modern times. The futureoriented philosophy of scitech should aim to establish a new disciplinary positioning coordinate between scitech and humanities, to promote the inherent characteristics of scientific humanism, and to emulate the predecessors who were able to understand both the East and the West, directly point to problems, make no distinctions, and grasp the spirit of the times by integrating scientific and humanistic spirits. While achieving innovation in disciplinary paradigms, it should also contribute to the construction of a system of independent Chinese philosophical knowledge.

According to the form of the objects, the production techniques, decorative skills, and the traces of usage, the various types of funerary objects found in the Taosi burial site can be divided into spiritual objects, actually used items, and sacrificial utensils. The differences between the spiritual objects and similar objects used in daily life reflect the reconstruction and transformation of the real world in the funeral context. The actually used objects mainly include adornments and tools used by the tomb owners during their lifetime. In the burials of the rulers, the actually used items were not actually used by the rulers when they were alive, for those items would continue to be used for political symbolism after the rulers died. The presence of sacrificial utensils, which had been used before as daily utensils yet were outdated upon the time of being buried, implies that certain rituals for ancestral worship may have already come into being during the Taosi period.

The competence of brands is an important symbol of the development of enterprisesIt is also one of the key elements for enterprises to seek longterm development and growthBased on the data of Chinese Ashare listed companies from 2007 to 2021, this article constructs an index to measure the competence of brands and empirically tests its impact on the efficiency of corporate investmentThis study finds a positive correlation between the competence of brands and the efficiency of corporate investmentThe mechanism test shows that the competence of brands can solve the problem caused by inefficient investment by the mechanism of reputation constraint and that of the information acquisitionIt also finds that the competence of brands has a more significant impact on the investment efficiency when the market competition is more intense, the management cognition level is higher, and the brands have remained competent for a longer timeAlso, the competence of brands can significantly improve the enterprises total factor productivity, and have a positive impact on their highquality development.

Ludo capitalism is an inevitable result of the penetration and extension of the logic of capital into the space featuring the interweave of both virtuality and reality based on digital technology, and the logic of capital is a“subjectivity logic” in the process of developing a capitalist societyThe deep superposition of capital and digital technology enhances the social and entertaining performance of video games, and provides more possibilities for people to relax, but under the domination of capitals excessively profitseeking nature, video games have been alienated into a practical field for capital proliferation and new digital exploitation, triggering the biopolitical alienation of people in the aforementioned spaceIn fact, ludo capitalism features technology that, after being capitalized, blurs the boundaries between labor and leisure at both spatial and temporal levels following technological capitalization, obscuring the fact that digital exploitation is practiced in the name of games under the logic of capitalTherefore, it is necessary to analyze and criticize the reality of capitals domination over technology in ludo capitalism based on historical materialism, and to guide the development of digital economy empowered by digital technologybased game industry with the logic of communism in order to promote the development of human freedom while promoting the development of digitalintelligent productivity.

“Zhongyang”and“Difang”are two important categories in the history of the Communist Party of China and its construction, and the relationship between the two is a theoretical principle reflecting the interrelationship“Zhongyang”includes such concepts as“the highest leading bodies,”“the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China,”and“the central leading organizations”and the entire Party is required to follow“Difang”refer to various administrative levels(except for the lowest level)lower than the authority of the central government, and each level has something different from that of the central government institutionally. The principles of the relationship between“Zhongyang”and“Difang”is, as follows: the essence of this relationship is the unity of opposites and the goal of this relationship is to safeguard the authority of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and its centralized and unified leadership, while fully engaging the positive aspects of both the central and local authorities. In the practice of CPCs leadership during the periods of revolution, construction, and reform, these categories and principles have shaped the unique characteristics of the discipline of the history and building of the Communist Party of China, becoming an integral part of the system of Chinas independent knowledge.

The divergence of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ratings indicates different perspectives on a companys sustainable development, which may affect the companys decision of trade creditUsing a sample of Ashare listed companies in China from 2015 to 2021, this article empirically tests the relationship between the divergence of the ESG ratings and the provision of trade creditThe article finds that the divergence of the ESG ratings significantly reduces the companys provision of trade creditThe divergence of the ESG ratings increases the companys financing constraints and profit volatility, reduces the stability of the companys supply chain, and reduces the companys ability and willingness to provide trade creditThe effect is influenced by the companys ESG individual attributes, conditions of operating cash flow, and social trust levelIn addition, the effect has an asymmetric impact on upstream suppliers and downstream customersThis article enriches the relevant literature on the economic consequences of the divergence of the ESG ratings and has referential value for standardizing the ESG rating criteria and promoting the stability of a companys supply chain.

It is widely accepted that although Aristotle acknowledges in De Caelo that the universe is composed of one celestial element and four terrestrial elements (earth, water, air, and fire), he does not provide a rigorous argument to explain why only these four elements existIn fact, De Caelo includes a complete demonstration to differentiate the elementsAristotle first distinguishes three simple motions to establish the existence of three simple bodiesBased on his theory of contraries and the principle of parsimony, each heavy or light simple body within these three bodies is can further be divided into two kinds, respectivelyUltimately, Aristotle finds that there are five elements included in the entire universeThis reconstruction helps us to understand Aristotles theory of elements and the relationship between De Caelo and De Generatione et Corruptione.

To digitize everything is a major trend in the digital ageDigital identity has become a new form of human existence outside the realm of the tangible worldSocial governance in the digital age is confronted with more complex issues and this leads to the emergence of a new risk, a generalized inhibition of each unit of the governing system triggered by the quest for precise control of a societyThe digitization of governance brings with it a quest for the growth of quantifiable, comparable data across the units of governanceIn the meantime, with the help of digital technology, such control, which should have existed within sectional organizations, widely spreads to be a controlling force over the societyUnder such control, the human being is molded by digital technology into the socially desirable “shape” and becomes a customized social “building block” and the society becomes a giant LegoworldThree features characterize the Legoworld: false multidimensionality, social acceleration, and homogeneous mobilityTo distance oneself from the Legoworld, one cannot simply suppress these three characteristicsInstead, it is necessary to explore the symbiotic relationship between human beings and artificial intelligence in a digital society from the primary norm of“the revealing nature of technology”By establishing a common institutional grammar that constrains both humans and artificial intelligence, we can break the enframing that positions humans and ultimately avoid the Legoworld.
