Vitality and order, two key elements of modernization, are not only significant characteristics of modern society but also important supports for achieving modernization. Vitality is constructed with independent exploration, development, and innovation as its orientation, while order is centered around the value of putting the people first; vitality is the driving mechanism of social development, while order is its balance mechanism. Chinese modernization has well coordinated the dynamic mechanism and the balance mechanism. The people’s creativity has been fully stimulated, the reform and innovation have been fully stimulated, and the intellectual and cultural vitality has continued to glow, thus providing a strong impetus for Chinese modernization; safe and orderly economic development, stable and orderly democratic politics, healthy and orderly intellectual and cultural life, harmonious and orderly social governance, beautiful and orderly ecological environment, all provide important support for Chinese modernization. Chinese modernization is a systematic project, to build up which, we should, in the new era and new journey, better grasp the dialectical and unified relationship between vitality and order, maintain their dynamic balance, thus ensuring that Chinese modernization keeps advancing steadily.

Policy elasticity, though it has been a long-standing concern in academia, was once mostly interpreted from the perspective of policy implementation. This study attempts to analyze decision-making and implementation as a continuous process of policies, and discusses the impact of the fuzzy attributes of policies on the diversity of local government policy implementation. Taking the policy process of innovations in social governance as an example, this study reveals that there are three significant differences in the practical approaches of local governments towards innovations in social governance, and that such approaches are rooted in the vague space of policy discourse itself. Fuzzy policies bear specific governance functions as such policies allow local governments to adjust policy directions according to local conditions, enhance cooperation between organizations, and provide space for governance innovation. Through a historical comparison, the study also attempts to analyze the evolution and problems of innovations in social governance innovation as fuzzy policies.

The development of modern information and communication technologies (ICTs) is an important symbol of technological revolution and industrial progress, and its role in economic and social development is becoming increasingly prominent. Based on global panel data from 158 countries (or regions) from 1990 to 2019, this study explores the impact mechanism of ICTs on national poverty reduction, and then analyzes, from an inclusive perspective, the mechanism of ICTs development in promoting social common prosperity. The findings tell that the development of ICTs significantly reduces a country’s absolute poverty and relative multidimensional poverty, and the marginal effects of poverty reduction bear a U-shaped characteristic. Meanwhile, the marginal contribution of ICTs to national poverty reduction exhibits, the study finds, differentiated characteristics in different regions and it gradually diminishes over time. The impact of ICTs on national poverty governance lies in its promoting economic growth and improving income distribution. This indicates that, while balancing efficiency and equity and achieving inclusive growth, the progress of ICTs ultimately contributes to promoting common prosperity among different countries.

The new century witnesses the “New Public Management Movement” moving towards “cooperative governance”, but cooperation itself does not run automatically. In the context of mandatory cooperation, the strategies adopted by weak sectors to establish internal legitimacy and promote sincere cooperation with strong sectors have not drawn sufficient attention according to current literature, hence a need of an in-depth exploration of the specific implementation. Therefore, the article adopts the relatively fragmented paths of political science and organizational management in collaborative governance research, and integrates the two independent paths of program and cognition into two different levels of understanding internal legitimacy, thus constructing a “program-cognition” analysis framework for weak sectors to establish internal legitimacy; the article further takes the inter-departmental cooperation of school sports facilities’ opening to the public in X city as a typical case, with an aim to explore the strategies adopted by weak sectors to gain internal legitimacy in promoting cooperation with strong sectors. The results indicate that vertical authoritative and social needs can bring strong external legitimacy to weak sectors, while the construction of internal legitimacy requires three stages of procedures: dialogue and participation, negotiation and commitment agreements, accompanied by the development of three cognitive levels of shared understanding, understanding and trust, and internal identification. The strategies that work well in the constraint scenario of “the weak collaborating with the strong” will have a broader scope for implementation under relaxed constraints or other supportive conditions.

Behavioral governance is a new model developed by applying behavioral scientific insights to the field of public governance. Behavioral governance focuses on the psychological, cognitive, and behavioral patterns of the three core governance entities, namely the government, organizations, and citizens in the interaction. It analyzes how the element characteristics of the interaction between governance entities affect their behavior. Meanwhile it more comprehensively considers the impact of environmental factors on micro behavior, as well as the mechanism by which individual behavior converges into collective action and produces broader governance outcomes. Behavioral governance calls for the combination and application of governance tools, emphasizes the internal integration of “boosting” and “assisting”, the two major behavioral tools, and stresses the external linkage between behavioral tools and traditional tools. Behavioral governance, as it originates from behavioral public management and behavioral public policies, gives more stress on the interaction between various subjects, focuses more on the complexity of the environment, and advocates the integration of governance tools at internal, external, and various levels. Behavioral governance closely follows the behavioral elements of the governing body, and enriches the think tank and toolbox of modernization of national governance from bottom to top, and micro to macro.

To optimize the local social contradiction-solving mechanism is a practical necessity for preventing social security risks, a must for reducing the cost of social security governance, as well as a basic guarantee for maintaining social justice and stability. Inspired by Weber’s “Ideal Type”, and taking the participation of the Party and government forces and diverse social entities as the basic dimension, this article divides the mechanism for resolving primary-level contradiction into four types: co-construction and co-governance, the Party and government dominance, self-governance, and out-of-control governance. While enhancing research intuitiveness, clarifying the construction and optimization of such mechanism, it also effectively avoids the inherent shortcomings of previous single case studies in terms of representativeness. Following this logic, the paper conducts a specific examination of 23 typical innovative cases (2017—2021), from three aspects: practical content, basic characteristics, and development trends. It then summarizes the practical path to optimize the mechanism: adhering to the “people-centered philosophy” as the fundamental value, optimizing the mechanism, and deepening the modernization of social security governance in terms of deepening the guidance of Party building, promoting the integration of situation and law, and strengthening technological embedding.

The singularity of AI technology has made a significant impact on human development, including education. Whether the dependence on technology will affect human creativity and how education targeting to talent cultivation should respond are issues worthy of attention. This article, based on an analysis from the perspective of knowledge accumulation, concludes that artificial intelligence dependence affects individual creativity by acting on the depth and width of knowledge accumulation, and such dependency influences collective creativity by reacting on collective interactive memory systems and knowledge heterogeneity. Its performance in the education field, the main battlefield for knowledge transmission and creativity cultivation, is particularly outstanding. Therefore, it is necessary to limit the reasonable scope of technology utilization and emphasize the value of knowledge accumulation, thus achieving adaptation and transcendence of educational reform.

Big data has promoted the development of smart education and brought unprecedented challenges to the transformation and development of teaching—Overloaded data on education brings about difficulties for teachers to comprehend and solve diverse educational problems based on their individual experience, and subjective teaching strategies greatly affect teaching effectiveness. From the constructed theoretical framework of visual learning analysis, it is found that visual learning analysis can be applied to diverse typical educational scenarios and models, including online self-directed learning, offline curriculum learning, blended learning, the traditional teacher-centered classrooms, and student-centered constructivist classrooms. The application effectiveness of visual learning analysis should be evaluated from different indicator dimensions, such as visual attractiveness, usability, understanding level, frequency of use, satisfaction with use, perceived usefulness, learning effectiveness, and behavioral change. Future research needs to focus on how to improve the relevant abilities and literacy of teachers and students in applying visual learning analysis, and more scientifically verify the actual effectiveness of visual learning analysis tools.

Corporate social responsibility starts from the perspective of corporate subjectivity, takes responsibility to employees and local communities while maintaining good organizational performance, and conveys, showcases, and advocates positive social public values. Such responsibility is “limited”. As an organization with special characteristics, the social responsibility one corporate bears must be related to its inherent characteristics, as well as its goals and missions. Therefore, we should also appropriately reduce our expectations of corporate social responsibility, and roughly define the boundaries between enterprises and other social organizations, in case unlimited responsibility is assigned. To fulfill corporate social responsibility, we should seek endogenous constraint mechanisms. As traditional external regulatory mechanisms cost too much, regulatory loopholes cannot be eliminated. The design of social responsibility fulfillment mechanism should take into account the highly dependent nature of the enterprise’s survival on the cooperation of other social members, and adopt social credit mechanism to increase the cooperation and self-discipline costs of the enterprise, thus forming effective constraints. To overcome the difficulties in fulfilling corporate social responsibility, we should change our mindset and regulate corporate behavior from an endogenous constraint perspective, rather than achieve it through unrestrained supervision or punishment, which will only consume more social costs and ends in vain. Corporate managers must make fundamental changes, understand the meaning of the existence of both the organization and themselves, reject the temptation of utilitarianism, and take on the limited social responsibility to fulfill the mission.

This article, based on historical statistical yearbooks and CSMAR database, attempts to construct measurement indicators for business environment, and adopts the Threshold Effect to thoroughly examine the impact of business environment optimization on enterprise innovation. It is found that the optimization bears a significant positive effect on innovations of enterprises, followed by a single threshold effect. Meanwhile, business environment bears a more positive effect on innovations of non-state-owned enterprises when compared to state-owned enterprises; business environment can significantly promote the innovation drive of labor-intensive and technology intensive enterprises, instead of capital intensive enterprises. Therefore, government departments should be committed to optimizing the business environment and establishing a sound market competition system so as to enhance the overall innovation of China.

The style of literati’s five-character poetry was formed in the double stipulation and double construction of music and language during the Han and Wei dynasties. Emperor Wu established Yuefu and collected folk songs, and the folk Yuefu widespread in the Han court. From here the five-character poetry took shape. And its structure was formed under the influence of the musical structure of the Yuefu singing art such as Xianghe Sandiao. The five-character sentence model gained its canonical status with the widespread of Yuefu literary texts among literati, along with their rewriting. The style was ultimately established through the refinement and abstraction of poetry creation by Wei and Jin literati. Although the whole process involves many factors, such as the two-way construction of music and language, the exchange and interaction of elegant language and common language, the mutual infiltration and blending of the literati cultural circle and the folk cultural circle, etc., what runs through is people’s choice and group confirmation of the five-character style in literary activities. The style of literati’s five-character poetry is the result of the comprehensive effects of factors such as music culture, the development of Chinese language, and the norms of the literati groups.

When Heidegger employs time to observe Dasein (being-there), Stiegler moves towards the theoretical framework of employing time to observe technology. By emphasizing technology as the second origin of human nature, he explains the ontological relationship between technology and human beings in time—this is just what technological phenomenology studies. Through the three-level structure of technological phenomenology, Stiegler reveals the representational characteristics of human nature structure in the ontological sense, as well as the persistence characteristics of memory structure at the technical level, and thus explains the principles of temporality and historicity of how Dasein exists. However, due to the externalization and objectification of the third memory, memory, while achieving a transition from primary perception to temporal retention, also presents a contradictory relationship between subjective perceptual ability and objective memory system. And this contradiction runs throughout the evolution from tertiary retention to digital persistence. The former, as a representative of consciousness, once played a role in supplementing cognitive structures, while the latter became a representative consciousness, reshaping an externalized consciousness subject while emptying the internal intellectual structure. Therefore, in the theoretical perspective of Stiegler’s phenomenology of technology, the core issue of thinking about digital preservation is how to find possible opportunities for the transition from digital preservation to “digital medicine”.
