Guangxi stone inscriptions possess distinctive characteristics in Gunagxi literature for its outstanding forms, numerous stone inscriptions of the Song Dynasty princes and the unique inscriptions of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The inscriptions occupy a space for Guangxi in Chinese history of documentation, worth being paid great attention.

The traditional documents and historical records of Guangxi are deficient, but the stone inscription documentation is rather numerous, which preserves and inherits the civilization of Guangxi, and impresses people, compensating for the traditional paper documentation shortages. A comprehensive arrangement of Guangxi stone inscription is of great significance for the protection of the cultural heritage of Guangxi and the study of the historical process of mutual promotion between the civilization of Central Plains and the southern regional culture, and the study of the complex and various Chinese civilization history. Professor Du Haijun’s The Compilation and Collection of the Stone Inscriptions in Guilin and The Compilation and Collection of the Stone Inscriptions in Guangxi, are the most comprehensive monographs in this respect. The accurate understanding, detailed collation and careful analysis, ensured their practical value. The two books provide a civilization history of Guangxi which is inscribed on the stones for readers, providing an important supplement for the traditional paper documentation shortages, and providing highly credible information for scholars

Liang Zhangju made it a fundamental recording principle that only the poems of the poets in Yuexi (the present western Guangdong and southeastern Guangxi) could be included in his Collection of Elitists’ Poems in Three Jurisdictions. The poems of anonymous poets were not included, but those of the deceased poets were; the poets’ titles and status or their relationship with the editors could not affect the selecting standard. The artistry of the poems was the uppermost standard, which is “poetry in poetry”. The collection chose those masters’ poems with profound purport, sincere feelings, blending scene and affection, and beautiful rhythm. The less famous poets’ masterpieces were also included. Only those poems of formal standard could be recorded; as for the suite poems, Liang discarded the dross and selected the essence as well. “Choosing poems according to poets”, was another record standard which only selected the poems of those poets who were more famous than their poems. The regionalism, preciseness, literature and artistry made the Collection of Elitists’ Poems in Three Jurisdictions surpass the preceding crop, and became a poetry collection of multitudinous poems and complete styles. However, the limitation of regionalism which made the two record standards incompatible, and lack of clear standards of artistry, all these showed some rough edges in the compiling of this collection

The Lingui poetry school rose in the social upheaval of the Late Qing Dynasty. Most poets were upright officials. At that time, they were outspoken about a series of significant political and historical events, without fear of bigwigs. They created a lot of ci poems which reveal their concern about the nation and people. Early poets of the Lingui poetry school, represented by Wang Pengyun and Wen Tingshi, appeared on the political stage during the Sino-French War. Influenced by Qingliu (virtuous and clean conducts), they concerned about national affairs. Impacted by the war, the two ci poets attached their worries, loyalty and patriotic feelings to their works, expressed their preference and courage of participating in government and supporting the reform movement. Their works reflect the poetic spirit of criticizing current political situation and reflecting historical events

The ci poem collection of Kuang Zhouyi, a master of ci poetry in the Late Qing Dynasty, has abundant self-annotations. Those self-annotations have diverse contents and various functions, and they also have highly literary and academic value. From them we can see four orientation of Kuang’s poetry first, indicating the rhythm, to make the writers have laws to abide by, to propose the practice of standard words, to observe the order that rules and forms are the lifeline of ci poems; second, not only annotating deserted or unfamiliar knowledge, but also the general poetry and allusions, and trying to popularize ci poems; third, narrating in the form of annotation, to make the emotion have events to rely on, to expand the contents of ci poems to get rid of the disadvantage of short form; forth, annotating own old titles, old sentences and old ci poem collections, even evaluating his own works in self-annotations. These four orientations reflect Kuang Zhouyi’s exploration of the development of ci poetry in the Early Republic of China.

As the thinking patterns of Marx’s theory of perceiving the essence by seeing through the appearance and dissecting the capitalistic fundamental nature of unfair, capital logic revealed the injustice covered by bourgeois capital logic employment production deviates from essence of human being; non-equivalent exchange violates human’s activity routine; monopolistic allocation contradicts with profit mechanism; and the material desire of expense derogates the meaning of demand. The basic reason of capitalistic injustice is the private ownership system of means of production. However, this will not last long. As the development of social production and laboring class, the society based on capital will be replaced by the society based on people.

Text interpretation is a basic method of philosophy research, but it may give rise to text positivism if applied without reflection. The latest book of Han Lixin, Paris Manuscripts Study-A Turning Point of Marx’s Thoughts, is a good work of text interpretation, but it did not get rid of the influence of text positivism. The super objective of philosophy is to reflect and criticize human life, and text interpretation is just a tool and method of this objective, which is to activate the text by the reality of each era. To break through the veil of the text requires the spirit of phenomenology of “facing the reality itself”

The concept of “the sense of practical space” is not put forward explicitly in Marx’s works, but this does not mean the lack of spatial dimension in Marx’s philosophy. In fact, Marx’s philosophy of practical materialism contains logically the basic content and the essence of human nature on the sense of practical space. This is embodied as follows Marx’s historical materialism is a basic dimension toward the real essence and specific characteristics of the human in Marx’s sense of space. Marx constructs a new sense of space by absorbing the past of all sorts of thinking space, according to his philosophical outlook, the view of city and the view of labor. Meanwhile, Marx explains deeply the aesthetic meaning and political connotation of the sense of practical space, opens the humanistic vision on the modern sense of space form the “social person” perspective, maps the basic theme on space theory for the future, and realizes the modern transformation and the profound changes in space research. In this sense, Marx brings significant influence to the study of the view of space than any one modern spatial theorist in the 20th century

The Maritime Silk Route plays an essential role in the sustainable development of China’s economy and society. Southeast Asia is a main area in building the Maritime Silk Route. Tracing back to ancient times, the problems of thoroughfare security once caused the decline of the Maritime Silk Route. We still face severe security issues in building the maritime thoroughfare in the present century, and this is critical for the success of the Maritime Silk Route. There exist both traditional and non-traditional security issues in building the thoroughfare. In order to maintain the security of the thoroughfare and lay a solid foundation for the construction of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Route, we need to maintain a good relationship with the U.S., achieve a proper resolution of territorial disputes in the South China Sea and to actively build the non-traditional security cooperation mechanism

There are fundamental differences on “reunification” discourse between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and the form and use of discourse manifest a essentially conflicting concept in the political discourse. Reasons for this phenomenon are various. This is not only because of the confused definition resulting from the imbalanced distribution of Chinese and Western knowledge across the straits, but also related with value judgment differences and emotion preferences caused by different system culture. In order to integrate cross-strait “reunification” discourse, the basic path exists in fostering mutual interests and on this basis, to update the knowledge system of “reunification” discourse

The institution, government achievements and ideological foundations are the three bases and sources of political identification. Among them, system recognition is the key of political identification. Political identification is the political sense of belonging and political emotion which is based on citizens’ recognition of the institutional resources. By reviewing the institution foundation building of political identification, the authors argues that the building of power restriction and conversion sequences, the bidirectional mechanism of political input and output and national authority and the mutual interaction of society can be considered as the institutional support and foundation of political identification.

NIMBY (not in one’s backyard) is a concept in the study of environment behavior, and originates from the change of living environment. NIMBY can be defined as such an activity that citizens maintain and fight for their environmental rights and interests. Therefore, NIMBY is of some justice. First, the environmental right of citizens determines their choices and decisions in their environmental participation; second, citizens’ duty of environmental protection determines that they can resist the facilities construction against the environment. However, NIMBY has certain limitations. Both NIMBY of extreme individualism and of extreme environmentalism are unjust. Only by the orientation of environmental justice can NIMBY’s motives be eliminated so as to fundamentally avoid NIMBY. It is, at first, to clear the environmental right and its boundary to justify the recognition; secondly, to improve the environmental compensation scientifically and comprehensively to justify the distribution; finally, to shift the mode of NIMBY’s facilities construction to justify the procedure.

Collective ownership of rural lands is the basis of separation of three powers. Scale management of rural lands is the premise of separation of three powers and transferred land is used to produce grains is the key to the separation. The system of registration for the right to the contracted management of rural collective land must be strengthened and pilot projects for share ownership of the asset of collective lands should be developed. Finally market for ownership transition should be opened. Therefore, it should be done legally to develop the system of management transition of rural collective lands, use right transition of rural housing land and use right transition of non-farming management of rural collective lands.

The liability insurance, in a broad sense, belongs to the property insurance. According to the “principle of indemnity”, in early times, the function of liability insurance is to fill up the insured’s actual monetary loss caused by assuring compensation liability; the insured only enjoys the “insurance payment claim”. However, the liability insurance now is the litigation insurance, and then it has functions of right protection, that is, the insurer needs to help the insured to exclude the “negative state” caused by the damage claims from the third party, and the unfavorable state is the loss of the insured. Meanwhile, the nature of the insured’s claim is the “legal protection claim”. The claim includes two parts one is the “exemption claim” helping the insured exempt from compensation liability and the other is the “defense claim” helping the third party claim for compensation. The theory of “legal protection claim” is the inevitable choice for the construction of the insured’s claim in liability insurance in the future.

From a spatial perspective, this paper studies the spatial effects and regional convergence of the tourism economy among 31 provinces in China from 1999 to 2012 through exploratory spatial data analysis. Results shows that firstly there are significant agglomerate effects and radiation effects in the tourism economy of these provinces, and the spatial effects are more obvious along with the development of tourism. Secondly, the tourism economy of a province can activate the improvement of its neighboring provinces’ by the spatial spillover effects. Thirdly, there is an absolute β convergence in China’s tourism economy. However, the speed of convergence declines a little after the spatial effects being taken into account. Obviously, the OLS regression model overvalues the speed. Based on the conclusion, in terms of the further development of China’s tourism economy, the following suggestions are given (1) Deepening tourism cooperation and implementing integrated development strategy; (2) Rationalizing resources allocation and cultivating regional growth pole; (3) Underlying and utilizing spatial effects among regions and promoting the development of tourism economy through demonstration effects and sharing mechanism.

This paper analyzes the correlation between Chinese service trade exports and its carbon emissions making use of the relevant data from 1989 to 2013. Results show that there is a positive long-term equilibrium relationship between service trade exports and its carbon emissions. Short-term dynamic model validates that the change of service trade exports also has a great impact on its carbon emissions in a short-term period. However, Granger causality test shows that there does not exists long causality, and the effect analysis indicates that the scale and structure effect of carbon emissions of the correcting exports of service trade is negative, that the technical effect is positive, and that the overall effect is negative.

There is a close link between brand building and economic development. Under the circumstances of Chinese economy at the new normal, the connotation of brand building should be further extended, its target should be further refined, and its premium should be further disclosed. The economic development at the new normal add fresh life into brand building; meanwhile, strengthening brand building in turn can promote a healthy and balanced development of Chinese economy at the new normal.

The Yi people worship fire as well as water. There are a good number of narrative water myths rich in ecological connotations. Through the construction and cognition of the relationship between human and water, the genesis motif of Yi water myths shows that water progenitor is equivalent to human progenitor and are both respected by the Yi people. It is the integration of human and water in a close relationship that creates the logic of Yi water culture represented as water worship, water affinity, water admire and water protection. Through the adjustment of the relationship between the nature (God) and human, the destruction motif of Yi water myth completes a sacred narrative of natural and social-ecological metaphor. It is of important practical significance for the ecological reconstruction of human society in the contemporary water dilemma.

As the flower drum beating classics during Ta Hsi ritual process of the Tujia ethnic people who live in the Qing river basin, Sister Huang is composed in daily life, sung far and wide among local people. It achieved its initial fame in the field of the flower-drum, but goes beyond that, and will remain popular and famous with the flower-drum, performing in village as well as urban stage. Hence its transformation from countryside folk art to cultural brand has been completed, becoming a symbol of local culture and the ethnic group.

Like the other intangible cultural heritage, the serial Pohui festivals of the Miao ethnic group are faced with the dilemma of economic development and cultural protection. Thus in its inheritance and reservation, we should handle properly the dialectical relationship between original ecological culture protection and cultural transformation, maintain the principle of “culture being primary and industry being secondary”, and take an objective and rational look at actual effect of intangible cultural heritage industrialization on promoting local economy, and prevent developing from robbing the resources of Pohui festivals; the focus of the intangible cultural heritage protection should rise from the heritage itself to the respect for people and their private rights; give full play to the functions of specialists, non-governmental organizations, and school education on the inheritance and protection of the Miao traditional festivals.

For over 500 years, the ancient Ryukyu Kingdom (present Okinawa in Japan), a feudatory country having the closest contact with China during Chinese Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911 AD), maintained a tributary relationship with China. As the political and economic communication between Ryukyu and the coastal region of China developed further, the religious beliefs, the systems of seasons and festivals, [JP2]food and drinks, architecture, clothing, music, and other folk cultures in the coastal region were constantly disseminated to the Okinawa Islands, which generated profound effects on the local society and culture.

In order to study the influence of junior middle school students’ gratitude status on academic achievement and to study the role performed by academic emotions, the research investigates the students of grade 1 and grade 2 from two junior middle schools with Junior Student Gratitude Questionnaire and Teenagers Academic Emotions Questionnaire, and makes a relevant analysis with their academic achievement on Chinese, English, and Mathematics. The results show that (1) Gratitude in junior middle school students show a pronounced positive tendency, and the scores of the girl students is significantly higher than that of the boy students, but no significant difference between the two grades. (2) The positive academic emotions in junior students are higher than the negative ones, without significant difference between the two grades. In terms of emotional experience of the positive and negative high arousals, the girl students are significantly better than the boy students. (3) The students’ academic achievement is positively related to gratitude and the positive academic emotions, but negatively related to the negative academic emotions. Human-oriented gratitude produces an indirect effect on academic achievement through academic emotions of positive and negative high arousals, while thing-oriented gratitude and morality-oriented gratitude have a more indirect effect on academic achievement through other factors. These results indicate that there is gender effect on gratitude and academic emotions of junior middle school students that tend to have positive experience on gratitude and academic emotions, and that gratitude has a generalizing effect on students’ academic achievement through academic emotions.

There are specific advantages in promoting primary and secondary teachers’ application capability of information technologies through social software one is that the construction of hardware equipment has provided a sufficient premise, and the other one is that low-cost online training takes an advantage in terms of finance. To promote the capability speedily, multifunctional chat rooms with “online supervisors” as the backbone should be built; that the content of “resource library” should be trained as needed and be practical, and creativeness should be taken as a principle; “periodical assessment” platform should be combined with that of “achievement exhibition”; coordinated with national strategies, the advantage of modern radio and television universities and colleges for distance education should be fully taken to train the teachers at post.

In the present information society, media literacy education has a profound impact on the growth of contemporary female college students in China. From the positive perspective, media literacy plays an irreplaceable and vital role in promoting female students’ growth. While at the same time, from the negative perspective, online dirty minds, cyberspace, and network public opinions will also do serious harm to the students. Therefore, there is a strong necessity for a target media literacy education to promote balanced development and cultivate sound personality of female students as media citizens.

With the continuous increasing population in the early Qing Dynasty, production and operating activities in agriculture, industries and commerce are in wide development to meet the need of people, which benefits the mutual promotion of population eco-generation and material production. The boom in agriculture economy is due to population growth and resources over exploitation. While conversely, grains production also accelerates the population growth and resources damages. After the middle period of the Qing Dynasty, people’s life dropped off because of the stagnating grains production and increasing population, driving the economy into a Malthus Crisis to a considerable extent. There are lessons to be learned from such a procedure of its ups and downs, concerning how to control the population growth and how to use our resources properly.

In the Tang Dynasty, dancing and singing performances as well as the opera acting are in vogue. Most emperors have preference for sensual pleasures. Various actors, humble in origin, to respond to the emperor’s call, work in the court, and are the major undertakers of the performing activities, serving the imperial family and courtiers. During their service, they are provided with food, clothing and land from the government, or even rewarded by the emperor. Those who have good appearance and are good at acting have the chance to edge into official careers. However, in general, these court actors are not so well off socially, and are often despised by scholar-officials.
