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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

“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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

At a critical period for our endeavor to build a great country and move toward national rejuvenation on all fronts through Chinese modernization, it is essential to address the critical issues affecting the highquality development and to rely on continuous reforms to provide institutional guarantees for a highquality economic developmentThe third plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China focuses on the major institutional issues that need to be resolved in order to advance Chinese modernizationIt emphasizes the reform of Chinese economic system as the spearhead, responding to the contemporary requirements and historical tasks for a highquality development, and makes significant arrangements for“promoting highquality economic development”. With the valuable experience we have gained since the launch of reform and opening up, particularly from our endeavor to comprehensively deepen reform in the new era, this arrangement highlights the historical logic of adhering to the correct directionMoreover, this arrangement leads to the alignment of relations of production and productive forces, as well as that of the superstructure and the economic base, and thus reflects the theoretical logic of the leading role of the reformConfronted by the complex developments both at home and abroad, the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and the new expectations of our people, this arrangement embodies the practical logic to adopt an approach aiming to solve real problems.

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.

The specialized, refined, differentiated, and innovative(SRDI)strategic orientation is that of enterprises with Chinese characteristics. The SRDI development is a strategic path for small and mediumsized enterprises (SMEs) to achieve sustained highquality development, but few studies have explored how SRDI development contributes to the growth of SMEs. Based on the theory of firm endogenous growth mechanism, this paper explores the procedure mechanisms and key situations of the SRDI strategic orientation empowering the growth of SMEs. The empirical results reveal that the SRDI strategic orientation can effectively promote the growth of SMEs, and its internal mechanism is that the SRDI strategic orientation empowers SMEs by enhancing their market power. However, there are specific boundary conditions for SRDI strategic orientation to play a role, among which the impact of the decoupling and the intensity of market competition will weaken the promoting effect of SRDI strategic orientation on the market power of SMEs. This paper provides theoretical insights and empirical references to promote the SRDI growth of SMEs.

In the administrative contract system, the grassrootslevel governments are faced with three layers of difficulty in governanceThese difficulties prevent the grassrootslevel governments from effectively responding to peoples different needsCentering on the question of “what is the driving mechanism for the improvement of the responsiveness of grassrootslevel governments from the perspective of platformbased government?”, this article takes the reform of the Beijing swift response to public complaints as an example to construct a theoretical framework on the platformbased contract system from the dimension of statesociety relationshipIn analyzing the total number of 2 167 telephone questionnaires, this study finds that the platformbased contract system improves the responsiveness of grassrootslevel governments through the mechanisms of empowerment, motivation, and supervision, and that the reform of the administrative contract system has been accomplished in the contracting process and structure through the platformIn this process, the governmental platform and public opinions have been successfully integrated.
